Senatorship.

PARKERsBURG, Nov. 9.-Fr!cnds
OF ex-governor Albert B. White have
let it be known that Mr.. White is a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for the United States Senate. Mr..
White has made no formal tsatement
of his candidacy, but is expected to
do 30 within the next three or four
days. Governor Whites position in
state politics is believed to be par
ticularg advantageous 10 his senator
ial ambitions. Originally supporter
of Theodore Roosevelt he threw his
lot with the regular Republicans,
during the campaign. and was one
OF the most active and vigorous stump
ers for the Republican ticket. Ex-
Governor White Is widely known all
over the state, and his personal pop
uiarity Is such as to insure him very
large support from all sections. 1t
is believed he will have the support
OF the majority OF the Republicans
from the Fourth district without SER
lous opposition.

The court has been asked for ese
fourth time to presume the death Of
William Robertson Lidderdale, for
merry MANAGER of a bank in Ilmin-
ster. sgl.t
On January 5, 1882, I'dderdale,
on the eve OF HIS marriage to Miss
Elizabeth Chapman. in whose favor
he had made a will left for London
after drawing 5000 from his pr
vate banking account. According to
letter received from him on the
following day by Miss Chapman, on
allghting nj Raddington station he
he'd met Miss Y:ning, ap old love.
Nothing more was heard of Lidder-
dale until February 10. 1892, when
the following notice appeared in the
obituary column OF a London news
paper:
"Lidderdale-on January 30. on
MiEs h. A, II. Winnings yacht. Fore
sight. william Robertson Lidderdale,
minister. Tho result OF an accident

carriage in motion"
Subsequently MISS Chapman re.
celyed registered letter containing
$2,5O0 in bank notes, some trinkets
and some OF Miss Winnings visiting
cards. On one OF the latter in Lii
derdale's handwriting was written,
"Was true to you"
II has been suggested that Miss
v1ning never existed and until the
present hearing no proof of this fact
has been advanced. A director in
Undertakes bank now comes for
ward with the statement that he
knew Miss vinns, who was q
strikingly beautiful woman about
forty years OF age. Her full name
was Miss Beatrice Alice Hasledean

was an American citizen. She ev-
identity spent much of her time trav-
cling on the yacht. Foresight, which
was never reg stored with Lloyts.
but which witnesses have described
as having been anchored off West
gate in 1890.
Tho judge said he believed there
was Miss vining and expressed the
hope that through the numbers on
the bank notes some trace of her or
the missing, man might be found in
America.
The case has been adjourned in
the hope that the identity of the wo.
man of mystery and her equally mys-
terlous yacht may be established.

Vessel Building Records Are
to Be Beaten by the
British Navy.

LONDON, Nov. All batt.eship
building records are To be beaten
by the British navy II the plans OF
construction of the latest British
dreadnought are carried out.
The new vessel is ordered 10 be
ready or launching in FIVE months
after the laying OF the fret keel
plates.
Somewhat of a sensation was
caused at Portsmouth when it was
officially announced Immediately ar
ter the launching OF the Iron Duke
that keel plates OF the super-dread-
nought which is to follow we're to be
laid next Monday. In recent years
It has been the practice to allow
two or three months to intervene be-
tween the launching of new ship
and the laying down. Of another.
1t is said that promises have been
made to the admiralty that the new
ship will be ready for launching
within five months and it will be
ready for service within one year.
thus beating the record of the origi-
nal dreadnought by two months.
1t is also claimed that the new
ship will be as great departure
from prevailing types as the dread
nought was from its predecessors.
Provisions for oil fuel will be made
in the new vessel and 1t will be ar
mored to resist air attacks.
The United States will probably
possess the Oldest painting on can
vas in the world in a short time.
The picture. which was discovered
by Robert de RustafjaelI. OF Luxor.
Egypt. is about $500 years old and
it is executed in wonderfully br' ght
colors on wel.-preserved cloth. 1t
belongs to the period when art in
Egypt had reached its zenith and
the figures in 1t are not nearly SO
st!ff as the usual rock paintings or
namenting the interior of Egyptian
tombs.
Rustafjaell is associated with an
English company engaged in agri-
culture in Upper Egypt and all OF
his spare time is devoted to archae-
Ology. Besides the painting. he has
uncovered some valuable papyri and
the largest collection ever made OF
Egyptian flint instruments.
Before he left Luxor with the
painting, an American traveller Of
cred the finder large sum for the
work, but at that time ne was de-
termined TO keep it for his own col
lection and refused to part with it..
Since his return. however, the of
ters have been raised to such fig-
IRE that he consented to negotiate
for its sale. Rustafjaell declares
that the most tempting offers have
heen made by the London agents of
American collectors. and he feels
sure that the painting win be sent
across the Atlantic.

like malines, ostrich or fur. The trot- teur gown pictured Is of black with an embroidered epaulette of gray silk on the shoulder. This epaulette trim ming lightens the black color and to- yether with the gun metal buttons and steel trimmed belt gives the gown. interest and style. The draped bodice over sleeve and underbodce of black satin Is an admirable notion.
 Corsets, Boots and Hats of Paramount
 Importance.
 Far more important than gown, suit or blouse is the corset that makes the foundation for the outer garment Few figures at fifty retain the straight ness and slenderness of youth and a really good corset will imnseasurably increase the grace and distinction of the carriage without interfering with comfort In the least. If the pleas ingly arranged coiffure Is important Indoors, the becoming hat is even more important for out-of door wear-per- haps no item of the middle aged womans dress Is as important as her hat. There Is no good reason why, at fifty, one should forsake the charms of the hat and take to bonnets or mtddle-aged toques that settle fatly on the head. Hats of the proper sort may be worn-just as long as there is coiffure to support them; for one thing hat must have to be becom- ing. and that Is hair under 1t. The older women may not affect the pie turesque and rakish styles of youth: her hats must have a certain dignity and some elegance and they must not be tipped too far forward back or toward one side for dash, daring and Jauntiness are things to be absolutely avoided. The velvet hat pictured has both dignity and elegance and Is well suited to the woman of fifty.
 Boots are another important con- sideration. They should be smart and trim-and they may even be coquet- tish and chic If one pleases, for a charming foot and ankle is the last beauty point that woman gives up. and there Is no reason in the world Why the woman of ffty-or even sixty should not wear dainty footwear in- doors and out Buttoned boots of satin or kid with high Cuban heels and turned soles are in best taste with formal gowns and for the street 'buttoned boots of dull calf or of pat ent leather with dull kid or cloth tops should be the choice.
 The woman of fifty or thereabouts may wear tewelry of distinction, but she should avoid cheap ornaments. Handsome earrings are permissible; a brooch and an odd or individual lorgnette chain will add elegance and distinction to the dark costume.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-03
' .s..a

match are of angora--the most expensive but the warmest kind of wool Angora sweaters are as light as thistledown yet as warm as toast and are much worn in Canada where 'out-of-door sports demand garments that permit of free movement yet afford thorough protection from the cold. This angora sweater Is white with brown markings and the hood with its turned back Dutch flap, is of brown angora. Sweater and hood are worn with pleated skirt of heavy brown homespun having knitted wool en boomers beneath. Pleated skirts are ideal for active out-of-door sports and one is thankful they have come back to fashion. Sometimes bloom CTS of heavy silk or of mohair are worn under the skirt instead of a petticoat, though the skating girl real izes the coquetry of a dainty white petticoat under her swinging skirt. With many of the velvet rink cos tunes the pretties, petticoats with sheer embroidery fiounces are worn. but, of course. such a petticoat goes over very warm knitted tights of wool.
 "Rinkers" are worn by English girls for skating and all other winter sports The Tinker is knitted sweat CT ribbed closely at the waistline and also at the hip so that it clings to the figure and emphasizes the curves of waist, bust and hip. It pulls on and off over the head and is slashed little way down the front and closed with buttons There is a trimness about the Tinker which appeals to the English woman who adores any thing that fits tight. but as yet the tinker has not become the vogue in America.
 College and boarding school girls are wearing the plaided Scotch Mack inaws trimmed with fringe. These coats are made of Scotch plaid rugs and though a trifle too picturesque for street wear in the city. they arc very attractive against a campus or country background. The Mackinaw is short and requires warm skirt beneath it for winter tramping. The college maid scorns rubber overshoes.
