PADS AND FASHIONS

Revivals from the crinOline period are making their appearance in the hats of the moment
 Black-and-white foulard will be greatly In favor for morning frocks for wear in the parks.
 Taffetas. crepes, satins and Turkish toweling are equally in the foremost march of fashion.
 Mechlin lace is very much worn just now, and appears on many of the smartest evening gowns.
 Accordion pleating has been revived, and many of the newest skirts are treated in this manner
 The pannier gown is being vigorous ly exploited, but its ultimate success is by no means certain. Many hats are trimmed with col or which Is repeated in the hose worn with the smarteSt suits.
 Nearly all the new parasols have a nineteenth century air about them and are dounced or fringed.
 Stockings are frequently inlet with real lace, and this again even embroid- cred with beads Or jewels.
 The short white kid glove will be worn again with tailor-made and long sleeved frocks for afternoon wear.
 White in millinery, particularly in combination with a single strong col or, is another evidence of its popular ity.
 The linen of this summer is soft and drapes as well as the new wOOlen ma terials, making exceedingly pretty models.
 It is a fad nowadays to make the sleeve begin low down on the should CT, the actual shoulder seam being still missing.
 Scauoped edges are a feature of the season. and are met with on taffeta frOcks, lingerie, laceS and embroidery.
 Silk suits are most invariably reliev- ed with lace or lingerie, but lace plays the greatest role in the seasons fash ions.
 There are beautiful effects in finger ie and embroidery seen on tailor, suits of silk rep and soie cotele; also on taf- fetas
 Trimmings beneath the brim on a large hat are seen now and again, Of ten in the shape of a big bow of soft ribbon
 The Byron collar is now in vogue, and the Byron cascade of lace is de- lightful variation of the ubiquitous fi- ehu. laz
 Some gowns feature the leg-o'-mut- ton sleeve. These fit the arm snugly and have a frill of lace falling over the hands
 In general, it may be said. that sleeves are becoming somewhat larger.
 In tba matter of color, white is far above cOlUrS for spring and summer wear, both in wash fabrics and cos tune materials.
 Sheer linen and cotton tissues, hav- ing small motifs. or fancy borders in open English eyelet embroidery, are very charming.
 Although richly colored gowns are very popular, large numbers of smart women are adopting the black gown, in serge or silk.
 Attractive novelties are the new fringndE gibbons, the thick travelled ef- 1ects being particularly charming, as well as the looped fringes..
 With all light suits, te-topped and taupe-topped shoes are the more fash tonable. They are worn together with bright-colored silk stockings

 The shoulder capes and scarfs so popular during the second empire have been revived along with the pleatings, puffings and shirrfngs so much used in those days.
 Mercerized threads are used in some of the embroidered designs on soft ba- tistes, cotton voiles and dainty crepe fabrics. This makes them novel as well as charming.

 Another smart combination of silk and lingerie is found in the short tunic style, s-where the tunic is of taffeta, richly embroidered or lace trimmed.
 While the slender silhouette in gowns will be preserved, there will be an increased fullneSs in cut, especially where sheer fabrics are em- ployed

AUTOS IN AMERICA
 NOW NUMBER 462 ,561. Census of Cars and Trucks Shows Growth of Industry.

According to the Automobile Direc- tories Company, which makes a. busi- ness of listing the owner of automo- piles in this country, there are now in active use, 652,461 cars. This in cludes pleasure and commercial ve- hicles. Of this number 83,000 are registered in New York state, while California is second on the list with 61,7S4, and Ohio and Pennsylvania, third and fourth, with 45,78S and A ,000, respectively. This aggregate is a flattering tribute to the growth of the industry and the popularity of the automobile.
 The figures quoted in the table compiled from the records for Ari- zona, Colorado, Hawaiian Islands, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Porto Rico, and Wyoming are from tax reports, as there are no registra- tions in these states and island pos sessions.
 Estimates from manufacturers and dealers place the probable number of power trucks registered by December 31. at 1912, at 45,000, and this means an increase of about 30 per cent. over the present number in use. The total registration by States fol-

COMMENT FROM
PRESS BOX
~ FRED HENRY

The patched up team still looks
awfully good. Should the remain
ing games draw we'll maybe the de-
serters viii repent the fact that they
didn't lingcr.
Charley Mullen played a swell
game at short and pounded out a
couple OF safe swats.
Brooks. playing tho outfield for
Seattle. drove In all OF Seattle's
runs. In tho second. with Wilson
and Moran on. Brooks hit for two
bases, scoring them both. In the
ninth, with Moran on second,
Brooks again hit. scoring him.
Yesterday was the first time the
Seattle fans have seen Hap Myers
nipped Mt second In quite a spell.
Hanna. by perfect peg to Mullen,
killed off the slim Indian with six
feet to spare. Hanna was also handy
with the stick, combIng out three
bingles.
On two different occasions Spo-
kane players were called out for In
reference. In the seventh, when
Myers started for home, Shaw got
tho ball and threw straight down
the line to Hanna. Hap" who IL
over six feet tall. leaped up and the
ball bumped his konk. Moran called
him out. In the next inning, Alt
man raced In from third on hit
and run play, which didn't work,
and Ostdiek blocked Hanna from
tagging Altman. Altman was called
out.

bands business address. Mary
saw now why he was in such
haste to get to his office; why he
came home so late on various
pleas. And the date of the letter
was only a week before.
She tried to read it, but the
mixture of shop talk and loving
phrases was too nauseating. Min
gled with.allusions to business af-
fairs were references to somebody
who must be kept in the dark
herself, doubtless. And "Jack"
had taken her out to dinner on
the 29th-that was the evening
when he did not come home till
eleven. q Jack had given her a
ring. "Jack" was her everlasting
sweetheart.
Mary Benton had the quick
temper which accompanies many
levable natures. She flung the
letter into a corner and packed
her bag. She was determined to
go home to her mother. She
would leave no message-merely
the letter on the table. She picked
it UP and smoothed out the
wrinkles. Then, at the door, she
reflected. No, she would go down
to the office and confront them.

pher. She pictured her as little,
blonde, bold-faced, mincing crea-

catch most men. But John-John

say, and then go home. She would
never return-never. By this
time she had begun to cry again.
She saw the people in the street
car looking. at her. She wiped
her eyes furtively, and by now her
grief had given way to a fixed,
steely anger, so that she was
quite resolute in her purpose.
1t was nearly eleven o'clock be-
fore the slow-moving car reached
Andover street. She might have
taken the train. But she wanted
to spin out the journey as long as
possible. There was always the
hope that there might be some ex-
PLANTATION, and she was living in
that hope, although she thought
that hope was gone. She tried to
find excuses for her husband and
could think of none. She took the
letter out Of her bag and looked
at it again. No, there could be no
excuse; this woman was intimate
ly acquainted with the details of
Johns business. That angered her
the more, those business allu-
sions. If it had been wholly SEN
timentality-well, John was very
handsome, she reflected with
sort of pride She wouldnot have
blamed the woman so much. But

Saratoga, N V, Sept 2S.-The Re.
publican state convention on the
third ballot nominated Job E. Hedges
of New York city as candidate for
governor of this state.
Hedges led from the first, and when
the third ballot showed him steadily
gaining strength the delegates focked
to him SO fast that the tally clerk
could not keep the record. Before the
vote could be announced the motion
to make the nomination unanimous
was put and carried with enthusiasm.
Other nominations follow:
For lieutenant governor-James w.
Wadsworth, Jr., of Geneseo.
For secretary of state-Francis M
Hugo of Watertown.

bingham of Ellenville.
For state reasurer-William Arch

ARBUCKLE HAD HUGE WEALTH
Trust Foe Had Made 100000 900
lis Divided by Two
Sisters.

New York, Sept. 2S.-John Ar
buckle, who died last March, left an
estate of $29,613, 344.66, according to
the report made public on Thursday
by Transfer Tax Appraiser Monahan
of Kings county. The highest estimate
that had been put upon the old-fash-
icned merchants estate was $20,000,-
600. He had never organized the
great concern Of Arbuckle Bros. into
a corporation. 1t was merely a CO.
partnership. AS his share represented
only one-third of the firms assets 1t is
shown that the company today holds
nearly $1O0,000,000 of property.
His two sisters, Christina Arbuckle
of Brooklyn and Mrs. Catherine A.
Jamison of Pittsburg, are his only
surviving heirs. Each will inherit
$14,S06,672.3S, which, added to their
private fortunes, puts them in the
class Of Americas wealthiest wom-
en-.
The Arbuckle estate is the largest
ever administered without will in
Kings county. The inheritance tax,
which will go into the state treasury,
is $1,15S,433.7S. The cost of appraisal
approximates $4,000.

TYPHOON KILLS 900
TERRIFIC STORM HOLDS SOUTH
ERIN JAPAN IN ITS GRASP
FOUR DAYS.
DAMAGE WILL BE ENORMOUS
Warships Are Tossed on the Rocks
and Hundreds Of Coastng and Fish
Ing Boats Are Sunk-Thousands of
Buildings Are Blown Down.

Tokyo, Sept 28.-The southern
coast of Japan was swept by a ter
rife typhoon on Monday. Three hun
bred persons have persisted. This
city has been cut off from the world
for four days.
Wire communication with points
east of Tokyo has just been restored,
and it is believed that when the full
extent Of the disaster is known the
death list will reach 500.
The torpedo boat destroyers Fubuki
and Tachibana were driven on the
rocks on the northern coast of Yokai-
chi and two other naval vessels were
blown ashore. The entire crew Of
one of the destroyers was lost. Hun
dreds of naval coasting boats, fishing
smacks and other small craft that
ply between the numerous islands on
the south coast and the mainland
were sunk.
Practically all the telegraph wires
leading in and out of the city were
blown down and the disturbance off
the coast was so great as to interrupt
cable service.
Thousands of buildings were blown
down or washed away by streams
which were swollen out Of their banks
by the cloudburst which accompa-
MED the typhoon.
At Nagaya. capital of the prefec-
ture of Aichi, part Of the city was de-
stroyed and 20 persons were killed.
Thousands there are homeless.
The island of Shikou was swept by
the storm and tremendous damage
done there. A score of fishing viii
lagos were devastated.
The prefecture OF Osaka also got
the full force Of the storm. Crops
were totally destroyed throughout the
agricultural district. 1t is estimated
that the damage will aggregate ST.
100000. The government is taking re-
lief measures and is sending supplies
to the storm sufferers.

dered at sea with all her passengers.

Wanted a Bite.

Oh, yes; it was rainlng-had been
all day. But they didn't mind that so
much; you see, they were fishermen.
All the same, they were trudging
home, with weary steps and very
weary-looking faces.
Their baskets were empty, and to
be candid, they were in very bad
temper.
AS they entered the little village a
large dog ran at one of the party.
The dog had a ferocious look, and
was barking furiously. But the Usher
man did not take much alarm at the
animal. He just kicked it away care
lessly.
aren't you afraid he'll go for
your" inquired another of the party
somewhat anxiously.
The one who had kicked at the dog
looked at his companion in sorrow
full manner.
Il only wish he would" he replied.
"rd chance almost anything to be able
to go home and say I'd had bite!"
