CONVENTION IN EMPIRE STATE
 MAY FIRE BARNES

New York, Sept. 23.-The nomination of candidates for Chief Judge and as sociate judge, of the court of appeals. was the formal task before the Re- publican state convention that assem- bled here today. but the party leaders planned to make the gathering one of wider importance than this duty sig nified It was the first Republican rally since the last state election and several new questions confronted the delegates. The answer to these would be embodied in the platform that will be adopted at the session of the con- vention tonight.
 It became known today that Repub- licans. opposed to the leadership of William Barnes, Jr., had held an over night meeting to oppose the selection of Harold J. Hinman, minority leader of the assembly, as either permanent chairman of the convention or chair man of the resolution committee.
 It was said that compromise had been reached whereby United States

The balloon service was continued throughout the siege, and letters were carried for only twenty centimes, or four cents. Not all of the aeronauts were as fortunate as M Durouf Dir1- -gibles were then unknown, and the balloons were at the mercy of the winds. Two aeronauts were driven out to sea and drowned. One aeron- aut landed safely in Belgium, another in Holland, a third in Plymouth, Eng land, and a fourth was driven to Nor way.

 THE STRONGEST PROGRESSIVE CONNECTI- A BATTLE WHERE IN CONNECTICUT IS THERE STRENGTH
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-09-23

One of the most picturesque and TO- mantle castles in England is that on the little island of St. MichaeFs Mount off the coast of Cornwall It is the home Of Baron St. Levan, the distin- guished army officer. who was born hfty-six years ago today. Lord St. Levan's island estate is about a mile in circumference. St. MichaeI's Mount dition that the saint flies over from Brittany every day at sunset and rests for a few minutes in a chair at the top of the castle. Since the reign of Charles II. nearly all English mon-. archs have been guests at St. Michaels Mount. Owing to a tendency of tour ists to carry away as souvenirs all ar tic1es that are not nailed down, Lord St. Levan was recently forced ito close the castle to casual and uninvited vis itors.
 Governor Emmet O'Nea1, s@eond of the family to serve as chief executive of Alabama, was born in Florence, Ala, sixty years ago today. His fa- ther Edmund Asbury O'Nea1, was dis tinguished as Confederate soldier, an able lawyer and an eloquent orator, and was governor of Alabama for two terms in the early 'sos. The O'Nea1s settled in the Tennessee Valley when it was opened for settlement about a century ago. The second Governor O'NeaI graduated from the University of Alabama, and began the practice Of law in his native city. He was a United States attorney in the second Cleveland administration. He was elected governor of Alabama on platform advocating local option as to the liquor traffic, winning the Dem ocratic nomination by a big majority over the candidate of the Statewide prohibitionists.
 Military aviation, which has played so important a part in recent wars in the near. East, had it's beginning as veau made two ascents f1 a balloon during the battle of F1eurus. Bal looms were next used for military pur- poses in the battle of Solferino, in 1859, and by the balloon corps of the United States army in 1862. These pioneer attempts to apply the science of aer- onautics to the uses of war were of little or no practical value, and it re- mained for a French aeronaut, M. Du- rouf, to prove the utility of balloons in war.
 It was forty-three years ago today, Sept s, r=-0, that M. Durouf made his historic balloon trip. Paris was then besieged by the Prussian army, and all communication with the outside world was cut off. Various schemes were tried in an effort to get dis patches and letters through the Frus- sians impenetrable lines. All failed until M. Durouf volunteered to make the trial in a balloon Carrying inn portant letters and dispatches weigh ing 25O pounds, he successfully got away, and after a, flight of about four hours landed near Evreaux, s1xty-hVe miles from Paris, and forwarded his letters,

VARYING VIEWS OF BEAUTY

subject Of Controversy.

The exultation of women over the
appearance of numerous examples Of

In London. and Sir James Linton. an
artist of credit and renown. has met
II with the brutal declaration that
modern woman is degenerate from art
forms. He has had many models. He
has found them all warped more or
less by the dress they wear and the
shoes they suffer from.
AS the reports of perfect women
come from the directors of gymna-
sums in our colleges we have here a
controversy of experts. Is the gym
mast that teaches young woman to
nunch a bag and do a trapeze act a
better Judge of beauty than an artist

sound Investment for any state or
city. The gross earnings Of ITO e1-
patients obtained in 1911 amounted to
$102.752, and those of 211 cases In
1912. to $1l2.O21. BY applying the
same average earnings to all ex-pa-
tents of the sanitorium living in 1911
and 1912, Dr. Barnes concludes that
their income in these two years was
1851 900. This sum Is more than three
times the cost of maintenance Of the
sanatorium. including interest at four
per cent on the original Investment

concludes, however, while institu-

SMALL HATS WORN IN PARIS

Vary the Monotony Of Thsse
Fashionable Shapes.

A pleasant change from the round

shapes. Besides these are basin, pot

for their adaptability to all ages.
These are produced in soft English

LONG SHOULDER A FEATURE
Distinctive Mark Of the New BIouses
-Robespierrs Collar Also Much
In Evidence.

The long shoulder is one of the fea-
lures of the new blouse. 1t extends
well below the shoulder. about one
third the distance to the elbow, and
there it is attached to the sleeves by
fiat double seam.
Shirtwaist sleeves are long, many
with frill falling over the hand.
The odd sleeve Is seen in few of
the lingerie blouses. the body being a
plain white voile, the sleeve having
small embroidered designs.
The Robespierre collar is seen in
various forms, but is more suited to
the everyday bluose than to more
formal gown. It makes satisfactory
finish for blouses that open In front,
especially for wearers who desire a
feeling of freedom at the neck.
The net guimpe is much used where
the open neck is not convenient or be-
coming.
Many Of the more elaborate blouses
have the waistcoat effect. Narrow
vests Of net are used. tucked and
straight with q row of washable but
tons. or plain and crossed In surplice
fashion.
Quite the most striking innovation
seen in blouses il one of voile. This
has . double-breasted. low-cut waist
coat, of ratine striped voile with four
white pearl buttons as fastening and
finish. From the neck to the top of
the waistcoat 1t was filed in with
tucked voile. 1t had all the appear
ance Of = mans waistcoat and shirt
front, but the materials were so soft
as to relieve 1t of any possible man
nish effect. Worn with coat opened
in front, 1t had the effect Of waist
coat attached to the coat itself.
