New York. Nov. 23.-Throughout Rob
ert Hichens' drama, Bella Donna,
now playing at Broadway theater,
Mime. Nazimova suggests, by the cling
ing gowns that fairly seem to writhe
when wrapped about her sinuous form,
the very personification of the serpent.
The gowns are created to portray the
temperament of the character played
and are not importations from Paris
but made here in New York.
The gown pictured is of cloth of
gold, interviewer with oak leaves over
an underbody of the highest blush
green cut high in the back, clingins
form. and long serpentine sleeves. An
Egyptian belt of sapphires and rubies
is clasped about her waist When the
light falls on the steel blue jet band
eau which encircles her forehead and
keeps in place her black aigret, all the
diamonds of all the diamond mines of
the world are outdazzled over her
gown a shawl of the texture of the
spiders web, which it represents, is
made, of the color of steel when the
pale light of the moon falls on it.

Terre Haute, Ind, Nov. 25.-Eugene V.

at GiraTd, Kansas, Saturday appeared
at his home today refuting the report that
he had started for Fort Scott, Kansas, on
hearing of the indictment. In speaking
of the case Debs said:
These Indictments are based on an in
famous lie. There was never any attempt
by the officers of the Appeal to Reason

The evidence given before the con

The evidence given before the oon
gressional committee investigating the
Iator troubles at Lawrence, MASS
reveals sad condition. Without ID
apy way dealing with the strike itself
it is plain that wages have been at a
starvation point and that in many In
stances it has required the united Ia
hor of the family to keep tody and
soul together. Apparently mill own
ers have been intent on getting Dig
dividends and in SO doing have had
no regard for the well icing OF their
hands. The textile manufacturers
have constantly demanded high pro-
lection on the ground that they pay
high wages and could not compete
with the pauper labor of Europe, but
they seem 10 have supplied their own
mills with that same pauper labor.
There is but too much reason to be-
lieve that deplorably low wages is
not confined to Lawrence, but that it
prevails elsewhere in the textile and
several other trades.

The state road plan Is not we'll re
ceiyeG in Umatilla county. The pro-
position, when unveiled in its true
light, appears to have too much of a
tendency to bolster up the proposed
state highway, which in reality is
nothing more than an automobile
highway at the expense of the ooun-
Ties through which the state road
would not enter. The Athena Wes-
ton highway is an example of what is
possible under the county plan. This
section of macadamized road is Of
good as could be constructed under
the state aid plan and it did not cost
$4,000 per mile either. Umatilla
comfy can construct her permanent
highways without paying tribute tC

work, and the sanest aud cheapest
method of getting down to the work
is to bond the county for the improve

county be done within the limits o.
