The Result in Massachusetts.

The Massachusetts preferential pri
maries, held in the 1880 election pre-
cincts Tuesday, are proving to be
such a close race between Presiden
Taft and Roosevelt that both factions
are claiming control of the sc dele
gates to the Chicago convention ant
it is apparent that the official coun,
will be necessary.
Returns received this morning sho"
that from 1877 out of 1850 election pre-
cincts which included 14O city wards
and $50 cities gave on presidential
preference: Taft 52,643; Roosevelt
51,42O. aft is leading Roosevelt in
the First, Second, Third, Sixth
Eighth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thir
teenth districts.
Returns from half the state give
President Taft 3O,O35 and Roosevelt
29,S94. Reports indicate that the pres
ident carried Boston by about GOO
votes. The total votes polled for the
two candidates was about so per cent
of that polled by the republican can
didate for governor last November.
Later-Before going to press re,
turns show that Taft carried the state
by about 5000 over Roosevelt, but
that through some mistake the Taft
delegates at large may be thrown out,
which would leave each with IS dele
gates.

Roosevelt and sent to America.
The lophiomys was a creature so
rare that not one man in a million
knew Of its existence. 1t had never
acquired a popular name before start
ing for America, but the seamen came
to call it "Loafy" for short, and this
name stands a chance of coming into
general usage. 1t is a nocturnal. tree
rodent about the size of a cat. 1t
makes its home in the dense forests
that flank Mount Konia and to which
few white men have ever penetrated.
The Winderobe hunters, amous for
their prowess and activities in the
neighborhood around Lake Victoria,
where the Nile makes its head, recent
ly told the British game wardens OF
the existence of this strange creature.
The wardens offered a reward for the
capture Of one Of them alive and q
party Of natives came to camp the
day before the Smithsonian consign-
ment was to start for America and
displayed the strange creature.
Some scientists say that 1t is q
member of the rat family. Others
place it among the squirrels.

sharp and slender, each like the point

ute a most formidable weapon in the
fish's life and must be fingered with
caution, even after the fish's death.
All together this shark Is SO different

to classify it as a distinct family by

WILL WELCOME NEW GORSETS
Very Graceful and Comfortable Are
tho Lines That Have the In
~dorser1ent Of Paris.

Lower in bust than ever are the
stays, and the sloping shoulders of
the kimono sleeve and the graceful,
draped fchu are but tendencies which
pointed the way for this new figure.
Some of the newest Partisan cor
sets are but mere girdles above the
waist-quite frequently not reaching
to the bust. The idea is to give one
long line shoulder to waist-a gently
sloping line with the bust as low as
possible.
But not below the waist Is the cor
set growing shorter! Far from 1t!
Longer and still longer grow
mademoiselle's stays-one wonders
how they can be worn with comfort.
But they can, for many Of them are
not heavily boned, but beautifully
shaped and so arranged that the fig.
ure may be kept slim and youthful
below the waist line.
Not below the waist line alone.
however, is the figure to be youthful
but above it as well. The high,
lifted waist line, the low bust, the
slim, sloping shoulders-all this is
calculated to keep madame from
showing the ravages Of time-to keep
her youthful as possible.
Very comfortable, indeed. are these
new corsets, for If they hold the body
trim and tight below the waist line
they keep 1t supple and free above
the waist, allowing ease and freedom
Of movement and perfect comfort.

ference in this most important matter.
The apathy of managers and super
intendents in many of the % plants
visited by her is ascribed by DR.. Ham
ilton to ignorance. They had regard
ed white lead poisoning as inevitable
and did not understand the need of
p%recaution.
Even more striking" avs the re-
port, was the ignorance shown by
owners or managers as to actuai sick-
ness among their men. Several times
men, apparently quite sincere, main
tanned that there was no ead poison
ing at all in their factories. In n
instance the manager said that they
had only two cases in seven years;
II cases were found In the hospital
records of some 15 months. Another
manager challenged the writer to find
one case for which his factory was
responsible, and 81 were round scat
tered through two years time. This
manager promptly installed a physi-
clan as medical examiner, a measure
he had up to that time considered
quite s~upertiuous."

V1AsHINGTON.--Col. John 8. Mos

good people Of the north as a guerril-

worse, a man who, it is said, went

goes about its streets sturdily, with
his head up, his eve bright and his
falcon nose as warlike in expression
for noses have ex~pression-as it was
in the days of civil strife.
Two years ago Colonel Mosby was
taken to a hospital to be operated
upon for appendicitis. The surgeons
told him that he probably could not
pull through. "I1l pull through" he
said, and he did. Recently he has
been writing stories about his civil
war career, taking UP the pen just aft
er stepping off the lecture platform.
Last winter the old ranger went into
Connecticut to speak in a village
which, during the Civil war days, had
been the scene OF a meeting called to
execrate Mosby's method Of warfare.
The union veterans turned out to meet
the former confederate, and gave him
q somewhat warmer reception than
their comrades had been able to give
him at any time during his raiding ca
reer.
Colonel Mosby did not attend the
last reunion Of the men of his com
mand. He has not, in fact, attended
their reunion for some years, because
1t is said there was a feeling against
him because he became a federal Of

TAFFETA WITH BROWN FUR
Effective Combination Of Materials
That There Is Little Doubt
Is to Be Popular.

A brown taffeta dress (by the We.
brown taffeta is certainly going to be
the right wear for the next few
months) is trimmed with brown fur.
The corsage is bloused into a narrow
taffeta belt quite simply, and around
the throat lies a soft cream lace col
larette. The skirt is also bloused
just above the knees, over a broad
band Of fur, which rises a little be-
hind, and below it the taffeta is tied
into a careless, fiat sort Of bow, which
hangs not quite in the middle, behind.
The sleeves are long and have a
touch of creamy lace at the wrists.
With simply dressed hair, a sable
toque and a big fur coat, could any
thing be more desirable or charm
ing for winter weather than this lit
tie dress, when people heat their
homes SO much that thin gowns are
necessary?

street, who also suffered from south
ern disdain because he was willing to
accept an Office at the hands of an old

to make his living, and SO did Mosby,
and both, knowing that the war was
over, thought there was nothing
wrong In working for the kindly
Uncle Sam against whom they had
been fighting for some years.
When Mosby was raiding between
the armies and capturing all kinds OF
northern property, he gave little
thought to the safety OF certain OF his
own belongings. Just as the war was
about to end, a Union officer captured
5000 pounds Of tobacco belonging to

and of its value In money. He petit

pass a bill which would give him the
right to go to the court of claims for
payment for the tobacco confscated
by the government.
