WIFE'S ANXIOUS VIGIL
No Disorders Are Anticipated in ia
pan Incidentally to Accession of
Crown Prince.

Tokoi July 22.-Following a brief
rally early today the Mikado is sink
ing slowly again. His physicians do
not believe he can last many hours.
A moderately good nights rest
seemed somewhat to have strengthen
ed the Imperial patient when he
awoke about 6 a. m. He had slept
naturally and almost uninterruptedly
for fully six hours, and on reopen
ing his eyes, spoke few words quite
clearly and intelligently. lie was
also able to swallow a little liquid
nourishment. His temperature has
fallen, lie breathed more freely and
his pulse strengthened.
All these favorable symptoms en-
couraged even the physicians, sure
as they had been previously that the
case was hopeless and they issued
bulletin stating that, though the Mi
kado remained extremely weak, gen
eral conditions were improved.
AS the day advanced, however, the
sufferer again began to lose ground.
Consciousness deserted him except at
long intervals and then returned only
partially and for but few minutes at
time. Practically no hope is enter
tanned.
The dying rulers wife snatched few
hours rest after her husband had fall
len asleep but was awakened, accord
ing to her own previous instructions,
the moment he opened his eyes and
resumed her vigil at his bedside. The
crown prince Yoshihito strongly urged
his physicians today to agree to his
own attendance in his fathers sick
room. The doctors weakened in the
face of his insistence and are expected
to accede to his wishes if, as expected,
the Mikado's symptoms continue to
grow worse.
The members of the cabinet are
all at the palace The premier has
had an interview with the Crown
Prince and everything is ready for
transfer of the imperial authority to
the latter the moment his predecessor
has breathed his last. Should Yoshi
hito be unable to leave his own pal
ace Immediately after his fathers
death, ministerial conference will be
held there.
No disorders are anticipated in ia
pan incidentally to Yoshihito's there
cession, but concerning Korea there
is some uneasiness. The troops are
on the alert to nip any such attempt in
the bud.
Expressions of sympathy have been
received at the imperial palace from
all the foreign diplomatic representa-
tives in Toxic and all of them have
paid their respects also to the crown
prince.

COMMON LOVE OF MUSIC

PARIS, September 21.-Their common
love of music has once more united ex-
Crown Princess Louisa Of Saxony and her
husband. Signor Tosell, the Florentine
pianist, from whom she separated only
few months ago. In beautiful little cot
tage hidden from sight by tall hedge
of magnificent roses. and situated In one
of the most charmingly secluded spots OF
the Riviera, near the Franco-1talian
frontier, the couple are spending their
second honeymoon, more devoted to one
another thap ever. and caring nothing for
the comments Of neighbors and inquisitive
tourists. who are kept at a distance by

NEW STYLES IN PARIS
EXACT NATURAL CHARM
Caprice at Present Is to Wear
Piece of JeweIry Partly
Concealed.
Special Cablegram to Tho Star.


PARIS, September 21-WhiIe all the
women of the whole civilized world are
copying the fashions set by the great
modistes of Paris, 1t is well known fact
that no foreign woman ever quite acquires
the charm OF the true Parisienne. While
the natural vivacity of the latter in part
accounts for this. her superiority is also
due to the fact that other women fail to
discover the secret of the true piquancy
of the dress of the Parisienne. Very often
this piquancy lies in the charming little
caprices which, at first started. perhaps,
by only one or two, in time become an
assured mode, but only when some new
subtle charm has been invented by the
Parisienne. Now half of the quaint fash
ions which obtain favCr in connection
with jewelry are of sentimental origin,
and their charm is lost when it is copied
too enthusiastically.
At present the fashionable caprice is to
possess a piece Of jewelry which Is worn
ostensibly covered and concealed, but
which one can hardly doubt is intended in
sorue subtle manner to betray its pres
ence. The CLEAN of a gold chain, even the
sparkle of diamonds, under transparent
stuff of a blouse, or at the opening OF
the Robespierre collar, is one OF the
means by which one guesses at the exist
ence of the ornament which lies hidden
among the drapery.

Mascot on Upper Part of Arm.

The upper part of the arm is where the
fashionable devotee Of la mode elects, as
a rule, to keep her hidden mascot. This
often consists of a single gold hoop. and
is worn Just above the elbow. SO that
through the thin sleeve of the mousse
line or wolfe it Is just dimly visible and
appears at first sight to form part of a
general dress scheme. Naturally, the
sleeve must be loose enough to prevent
all pressure on the arm where this hoop
is worn, as one can readily imagine
that until the wearer becomes used to the
addition she must suffer a certain amount
of discomfort in the bracelet, which fits
closely enough to her arm to retain its
place, and for a long time she must
be acutely conscious of its presence. As
a rule, however, the women who deter
mine to cling to fashion for fashion 8
sake possess a courage and determination
which might put even the stoiciSm of the
ancients to shame
In regard to jewelry, some are still
clinging to what is barbaric and some
what snowy where chains and pendants

Harwood's Popularity Demonstrated.

Col. Harwood has already announced
his candidacy, and thus far no other
man has entered the field. He is inn
mensely popular, and is strongly backed
by the T F. A, in the work of which
he has for years been most active. Col
Harwoods popularity Was recently
demonstrated by the fact that the city
council offered him the mayoralty Of
the city, following the resignation of
David C. Richardson. who succeeds the
late Samuel Il. Witt on the bench or
the hustings court. Although much fiat
tered by the action of the council. Col
HARDWOOD was compelled to decline the
honor on account Of his extensive bust
ness interests.
Apropos of the Virginia legislature,
which will not meet again until 1914, 1t Is
said that the absence of Speaker Richard
T.. Byrd will be greatly felt in that body.
1t Is not his purpose to stand Tor re-
election, as 1t is his announced intention
to retire from politics after ne ceases his

There are also many quaint costumes

remarkable of which are perhaps some
tortoiseshell masks fashioned to resemble
crocodiles. Although these dances were
generally of religious character, they
were nevertheless essentially pantomlmlc

Ninth District Situation.

From now on until the November cleo
zion the attention of both parties in the
state will be centered on the ninth dis
tr.ct. where former Attorney General Ru-
fus y. Ayers Is struggling desperately to
defeat Representative Bascom c. Slemp.
Years ago Mr.. Slemp had little or no trou-
bic in achieving victory. though Henry c..
Stuart gave him desperate run two
years ago. That campaign will long be
remembered on account of the huge sums
OF money spent by the friends of each
man Although Mr.. Stuart could not de-
feat the republican, he cut down his ma
jor.ty immensely.
The situation this year is complicated
by the fact that the district is full of
bull moose enthusiasts who, though for
the most part conserving to Slemp's NOM
ination, may not vote for him in Novem-
Der.
1t has been admitted all along by the
republicans that Slemp would have hard
Shedding in this campaign, and his diff
cultieS within the last week have been
materially increased by the announce
ment that Walter Graham, a prominent
progressive of Tazewell has decided to
run for Congress on the bull moose ticket
Graham will stand squarely for Roose-
welt and johnson. He has printed a card,
in which he declares that he had no
part in the Bristol convention. which
nominated Slemp, and that he has re-
ceived assurances of support from all
sections in the district.
The progressives. 1t appears, were in
some way induced to sanction the nomi-
nation of Slemp, with the understanding
that while they would favor him as
against Ayers, they would nevertheless
be left free to vote for Roosevelt.
Since rejecting they seem TO have
grown dissatisfied with what happened
at the Bristol convention and to have
reached the conclusion that the old-line
republicans shipped one over on them"
