Complcxions to suIt the Season.

Have you bought your new fall
complexion yet? You had better get
busy, for you won't be able to wear
your last seasons one. as styles in
skin colorings have changed COM
pletely, says a Paris correspondent
In the afternoon women who fol-
low the modes anoint their faces not
with white or cream powder, but with
yellow paste, which makes them look
like Indians once removed. The skin
i3 not red, and It is not yellow either,
but a dark rich color Is the result,
and. really, after becoming accust-
omed to II, one grows to find the
white face faded and lifeless. This
complexion comes to stay at the Grand
Prix, one of the great French race
meets, where women wear their new.

blonds and brunettes, though especi,
ally to the latter.
In the evening the saffron Is not the

ness, so a violet hue is used. This
tint, like the other, is fascinating, and
compliments are returned, for the vio-
let looks best on the woman of light
ish hair and eyes. The effect of this
color is not deathlike, as might be
imagined, but IL gives the skin an in
descrlbable tinge of lavender that is
rosy, yet far, too, from pink. With
this new complexion and the fashion
able gray hair Paris is going beyond
itself. AS in the time of Martha
Washington, the white or gray haired
beauty now rules.
Blyonds do not adopt the gray wig,
or, at least, those with gray or hazel
eyes do not. The gray hair looks best
with the black or brown eyed heroine,
and, as a matter of fact, only such
colorings in Paris adopt the wig. The
wig is anointed, the waved lightly.

Both the army and the navy have oc-
casion now to investigate explosions de-
etYuctive of life. A board Of inquiry Is
already at work to ascertain the cause of
the blast in Fort Moultrie. Charleston
harbor. which cost the lives Of three en-
listed men and an ofIicer and seriously
injured nine others. In this case the
breech block of a rife which was being
fred in night target practice was blown
out. Such accidents have occurred be-
fore. owing in most cases to the prema-
ture firing of the charge and in others to
the imperfect locking of the block. In
many instances Of this kind there is some
degree of carelessness in the handling Of
pidity of action and overconfidence born
Of familiarity with conditions. The naval
accident is also of a typical character. the
blowing out of steampipe on the de-
stroyer Stewart during speed test off
San Diego. Cal. The commanding officer
in his report states that the accident was
unavoidable. IL was probably caused by
an unsupported flaw in the pipe, which

In having suffered comparatively little

Reassuring reports come from TOXIC
regarding the condition Of Emperor
Yoshihito, for whose life grave fears
were felt at the outset of his illness. a
couple Of days ago. Apparently the dis
ease is progressing normally toward
cure, and there is now strong likelihood
Of his complete recovery. This Is most
gratifying to the government OF the
United States both on account OF SYM
pathy for the Japanese people and re-
gard for their ruler himself and because
of the desire which is entertained here
to effect a complete restoration OF har-
monious relations between the two ma
tions. change of rulers in Japan at
this juncture might grayely affect the
negotiations growing out Of the California
land legislation, and there Is now excel
lent prospect of reaching satisfactory
understanding through diplomacy and the
exercise of patience and forbearance on
the part Of both peoples. Emperor
Yoshihito has in the few months of his
reign demonstrated the possession of ad-
mirable qualities, plainly fitting him for
the responsibilities Of his exalted position.
and it is to be hoped for the sake OF
Japan that he will be spared and speed
lily restored to full health.

Oh. the dear old funny story
Still appearing in It's glory
What a train OF memories it will invite
1t will bring fond recollections
OF the humorous reflections.
That the lecturers would stand I'D and
recite.
Each comedian rehearsed it.
After-dinner speakers nursed it,
We would hear 1t set to music light and

Even leaders OF the nation,
AS q means Of illustration,
In their speeches kept it going on its
way.
Ivy climbs upon the steeple
And the faces OF the people
Are wrinkling and their hair is turnins
gray;
And the landmarks Of each city
Slowly crumble-more's the pity
Till improvements come and sweep them
all away.
But that good old comic whimsy,
Though 1t seemed so wan and fiimsy,
Still provides a CLINT of fiction or OF
truth.
It's wondrous demonstration
/. OF the one thing in creation
That rejoices in an everlasting youth.

The Loan Shark Exodus.

A serious failure of law will occur II
the only result of the loan shark legis-
lation by the last Congress prohibiting
the charge of more than certain rate
of interest for small loans without Sc
curity in this District will be the trans
ference of the place of business OF the
extortioners from the District of Column
bia to the extreme edge of the Virginia
shore. Through an application to the
War Department for permission TO pulio
a platform at the south end of the Aque-
duct bridge to give access to buildings
erected there to accommodate loan prok-
ers, the fact has become public that an at
tempt is to be made by this method TO
escape from the operations of the District
law. No such restrictive law is operative
in Virginia. and consequently high-in-
terest loans can be negotiated there with
immunity. But obviously all of the bust
ness done by these concerns thus for con-
yenience located in Virginia will be drawn
from the District of Columbia. The cor
poration counsel declares that he will
seize the first opportunity to test the
legality of loans for which applications
are filed in the District. with the actual
transfer of money made in Virginia.
decide that no matter what the virginia
law may be it is impossible to collect
more than the legal rate of interest on
loans actually negotiated here. notwith-
standing the fact of the exchange OF
money in Virginia. no serious harm Will
be done by the shifting of this business
to another Jurisdiction. The purpose OF
the District law is to protect the small
borrower from the rapacity of the loan
shark If the borrower does not wish to
be protected no process of law can help
him. In consequence of the new legisia-
ton. ii is possible for a small borrower
tn obtain money at a reasonable rate OF
interest in the District from concerns
which have been registered with the
Commissioners. 1t Is quite as easy TO
get money from them az from one OF
the concerns now transferred to Virginia,
indeed actually easier in most cases, Tor
II is not necessary to cross into Virginia
at any stage Of the transaction. This
fact should be made known as widely
as possible by proclamation of the Com
missioners and other means to put all
would-be borrowers upon warning that
there is no occasion for them to place
themselves into the hands of usurers, and
that if they do patronize those who
charge a rate of interest which is illegal
in the District they will be not only
cheating themselves, but assisting at an
evasion of the District law which Is tan
tamount to a violation.

Presidential Wrath.

Democratic senators suspected of a dis
inclination TO follow Mr.. Wilson to the
full length OF his tariff views are re-
minded of the record of twenty years ago,
when Mr. Cleveland branded the Senate s
work on the Wilson tariff bill as that of
''perfdy and dishonor" Beware of the
brand. they are warned. What il Mr..
Wilson should brand them? How much
longer would they last in politics?
Mr. C1evelands phrase blistered 1t
created a sensation. and made many more
democrats angry than the four at whom
IL was directed. Some Of Mr.. Cleveland s
friends and supporters in the tariff fight
thought the language too strong. They
did not themselves employ it, although
they opposed and deplored the changes
in the Wilson bill made by Mr.. German
and his senatorial coadjutors.
But, severe as il was. that denuncia-
ton did not drive a single senator out of
ONCE Mr.. Brce retired at the end Of
his term which was March 3. 1897, and
Mr. Smith of New Jersey and Mr.. Muir
ply of New York on March 3, 1899. But
all three We're victims Of the republican
landslide produced by the failure of the
Cleveland administration and the disas-
trous campaign which Mr. Bryan had
conducted on free silver. There was
nothing left for any democrat in either
Ohio, New Jersey or New York.
As for Mr.. German, who cut out and
directed the work denounced by Mr..
Cleveland. he Jared in the end far better
than his critic. He lost his seat in the
Senate at the next election. but not as
the result Of his recasting of the Wilson
bill. Free silver threw Maryland for the
first time into the republican column. and
that party controlled the legislature
charged with the duty of selecting Mr..
Germans successor. In time, however
Maryland swung back into the democratic
column, and then Mr.. German came
back" and he died in Office.
But Mr.. Cleveland never recovered from
the blow he and his party received in
1893 He was powerless in politics from
that time. Mr. Bryan held the democratic
organisation against all the efforts to re-
capture 1t the Clevelandites made. In
for Judge Parker. and he appeared at a
public meeting in New York asking for
votes for the ticket. But the campaign
was not affected in the slightest particu-
lar. Mr. Roosevelt swept New York and
the country. and Mr.. Cleveland made no
further attempt to steer his party. Last
year one Of his disciples was elected
President. but after having gone over
to Mr. Bryan and hailing him as the
true leader Of democratic thought and
purpose.

Elihu Root.

Mr.. Root. it seems. has not authorized
the definite statement i'm circulation that
he will not stand for reelection. Neither
does he say that he will. The question is
open.
In some quarters il Is held that Mr.
Root would not be strong candidate in
a primary: that his pre-eminence as q
lawyer would handicap him: that he
lacks the persuasive element of hurrah;
that much smaller man with the hand
shaking. story telling faculty would walk
away with the prize.
But does not this view underrate the
character and intelligence of the people
Of New York? Outside the slums Of the
