going away from our State to great
financial centers like New York that
should remain here in our midst. This
money justly belongs to our citizens.
Our State is losing money because of
these shady titles to lands covered by
this entire grant, because of the fact
1.-THE patent is only a conditional one"
and the title remains shady and our
lands must stay idle. and the price re-
mains low. ss. <se
We have struck the key note in seven
words. So, here is the secret of sue
cess. Work to that end by sending
some of the old settlers to Washington
and let them make their own state
ments before the committee when Mr..
Aswell's bill is up for consideration,
with good attorney to present the
reasons why this bill should become a

There is an organization working to
this end and if you want to join it, it

we can do as an organized force. We
are not asking anyone to join or assist
except it be of their choice to do SO.
There are several organizations in diff
ferent parishes having for their pur-
pose, so | understand, about the same
thing. Therefore, it would be good
idea to have general meeting at some
place by representatives from the diff
ferent local organizations. We meet

PADS AND FASHIONS.

NEW YORK Oct. 1O-Net and lace waists are, apparently, to take the place of coIored chiffon waists for use with coat suits this winter. And these net and lace waists. fashion. decrees, are to be white Some of them are much like the lace waists of the spring. Di
 agonal bands of light pink and blue ribbon are used under the lace; the V-neck is the most usual one, and this is outlined with tulle or net frills. There are some new touches, too. One is the use of plush with lace and tulle and net of the sheerest sort. The plush is applied in the form of vests and col lars and cuffs, and the contrast be- tween the heavy and the thin material is interesting. White plush spotted with black in irregular. leopard like spots, is especially effective. Some of the white lace waists are finished at the neck with three or four tiny pink and blue chiffon roses, which give a dainty and distinctive touch. Another new touch to these thin blOuses is the buttOnhOled net collar. The collar is cut out and buttonholed without seal lops straight along the edge, in rather coarse colored silk and big stitches
 Reversible satin ribbon, of rich and heavy quality, shows two distinct col ors, one on one side, one on the other Black is faced with rose, blue, gold yellow, and green; gray and brown are also combined with these brighter shades, and blue and rose, green and violet. and many other interesting combinations are found sash ribbons are eyer changing and even more in teresting. One of the latest is a wide soft, loosely woven ribbon of gray. tan, brown, black or other background There is metallic lustre to each of these colOrs. The ribbon is run with wooden threads, which form crosswise stripes. about three inches apart. One especi- ally good combination showed yellow, blue and green stripes on a brown ground. The shades were all a little unusual and harmOnized well.
 Scarfs are used a great deal at pres ent and will continue to be worn all winter. A whole book might be written on that subject. Net scarfs are more durable than those of chiffon. and now that the fashion for net makes them desirable, the shops show them in

FULL OF KEEN
 FRESH HUMOR
Ready Money" Brilliant Comedy With Hero Long on Looks and All That Sort of Thing, Says Malt land Davies

After all the plays the thing. If there was ever any doubt of it Ready Money proved it at the Elks last night.
 Ready Money is brilliant comedy. teeming with situations and brimful and running over with keen, fresh hu nor. It is the story of money getting money even when it is not mOney-in this case it was counterfeit thousand dollar bills. The hero owns a gold mine in "Gallop Arizona"-yes that is what the play said and if you have ever been in Gallop you will realize that is an awful slam at Arizona. He hooks it for a paItry S2O,OOO and the note is coming due in two short days. Hero is long on looks, breeding, saVOir faire and nonchalance-Whate they may be-unfOrtunately he is short on cash, sum total of his resources amounting to two bits, and the wolf snarling at the canvas covered door. He knows his mine for a good time; but his friends don't believe him until they discover 0,000-counterfeit money-in his pos session, they they KNOW that his mine in "GaIlop Arizona" is a real gold mine and fall all over themselves to buy stock in it. To make matters interest ing he and his ''benefactor' are arrest
 
 and the mine really turns out to be winner
 This may appear to be very com mOnplaCe and uninterestfng story; but in that case appearances are deceiving It was brimful if interest It showed James Montgomery at it's best and pleased a very large audience in spite of a somewhat inferior company. Mir. Robert Ober, in the leading role fell away short of possibilities and Miss Nena Blake was unfortunately out of the cast owing to a severe illness and the part of Grace Tyler suffered a good deal in consequence; but the play is so well constructed, the business so excellent, the setting so good and the whole comedy so rich in brilliant epe- grams and sparkling lines that the company did not matter very much. Ready Money paid an extra divi 1 dend of enjoyment on every share 1 bought in it

News in St. Louis

ST. LOUIS, oct. 10.-A telegram was received tonight announcing the death at LangenschWalbach. Ger many, of Adolphus Busch, the multi millionaire brewer, by Adolphus Busch III, his grandson. from his father, August A. Busch
 The message said: Father passed away peacefully at 8:15 o'clock" This was 1:15 St. Louis time.
 Busch had been a sufferer from drOpsy for seven years, but when his son, August A, left here few weeks ago to join him at his castle on the Rhine, he did not know his father vas dangerously ill.
 In addition to his brewery at St Louis. Busch was also director of several banks here and several public utilities corporations. Busch's phil anthropies were numerous, one of the most recent being d gift of $50, O,O00 to Harvard for the establishment of a German institution. Every year he gave 5000 to the Convent of the Good Shepherd at St Louis His most recent local benefaction was a gift of $25,OOO for the erection of a memorial to Carl Schurz, Emil Prae- torious and Carl Daenzer, a trio of German editors who flourished in St Louis about the time of the civil war
 At the time of the San Francisco earthquake and fire, Busch contrib uted S1OO,000 to a relief fund He also contributed heavily to Galveston flood sufferers and $25,OOO to the re- lief of Ohio valley flood sufferers last spring.
 His wealth is estimated at $60,0OO,- 00G and his annual income at S2,000,- 000 Though his home was in St Louis, Busch spent but a small DOT ton of his time here. He usually passed the winter in Pasadena Cal. where he left a vast estate, including the famous S1,000.O00 sunken gardens
 He died at the age of 76.

eter as a cent. This string is caught between every third or fourth bead to the chiffon. A double string of the beads hangs from each shoulder loosely over the arms, two strands in front and two behind each arm.
 Jet also forms a fitting trimming for velvet It is heavy enough to uphold it's own character even in the presence of anything so heavy and imposing as velvet Moreover, it pulls the velvet down, and so may be satisfactorily used in the form of fringe on velvet sash ends. No more striking gown could be made than one of black vel vet, trimmed with glimmering, cut jet fringe and corsage ornaments.
 Woolen ratine and velvet are com bined in children's coats in different ways. One coat of rich brown velvet shows a belt and collars and cuffs Of black ratine. White ratine is used now for little boys Russian blouse suits. There is a great deal of warmth in this material and ratine suits can be used until heavy frost. Of course, they can be worn in the house all winter. They have a big advantage over linen suits, as they do not show wrinkles and creases as linen does
 Inexpensive bead necklaces are much worn to complete the color scheme of a costume.
 Rhinestones and other handsome jeweled effects are seen in the latest impOrtations Of buttons
 Even for autumn wear women now adays are wearing white net waists with frills down the front.
 Some of the new separate skirts shown in the shops are made of a jac- quard wool, and prettily draped.
 Almost without exception the new hats are small. with close fitting crowns and brims, that hug the head.

abundance. One sort, of pink, green, blue or white net, is heavily dotted with silver beads in a wide border at each end and a narrow connecting bor- der along the sides The ends are edged with a deep fringe of beads. The beads give to the net just the necessary amount of weight to produce grace fitness.
 Shoulder scarfs are even more elab- crate and beautiful than they were last winter. One of unusual beauty shows black and white combined. It is made on a foundation of white chiffon. It is shaped to a deep round point at the back, and has long rounded tabs in front. over the white chiffon founda- tion is stretched a filmy covering of black satin-striped chiffon, banded with insertions of black lace The edge of the scarf is finished with a double ruching of the white chiffon, and long and heavy white silk tassels and the tabs in front.
 Among the novelties in the shops are embroidered collars from Paris. They are made on silk and show Chinese en- broidery done in Chinese cOlOrs. Some of them, showing golden dragons on
 
 flowers on green, are gorgeous to a degree.
 Appropriate to wear with the new white satin or crepe de Chine or chif- ion evening frocks which are equipped with a wired tunic of white lace, edged with fur, are the lace scarfs. also edged with fur They are exceedingly at tractive, for the contrast between fur
 
 Sash ribbons show more and more variety There are now sold velvet sash ribbons, about ten inches wide, with sleek surface, plaided in many colors The lines forming the plaid do not run at right angles, but diagonally to the edge of the ribbon. On a rec ently imported gown of brown woolen material there is a sash of brown moire ribbon, worked with chenille, in red, green and yellow. in irregular bands about an inch wide and three or four inches apart.
 Chiffon is combined with Chantilly lace in an attractive manner. One de- sign, in lace of different widths, shows orchids in the pattern of the lace. Some of these are left as they are but over others orchids or puffs of chiffon, in different shades of mauve and vel low, are applied in the exact outline of the lace orchids
 There is a new way of using rare old lace, if it is of the right shape and size. Fasten a band around the head, well down over the hair and brows in the front and somewhat above the nape of the neck in the back. At right angles to this band fasten another, going un- der the chin and straight up across the head. It can be fastened together over one ear with a jewelled ornament.
 Jet is used in all the ways that the designers can devise. One gown of blue brocaded velvet in a deep, rich shade, with a tunic of rich blue chif- ion, is outlined about the neck with a string of big jet beads. as big in diam

PINK BREAD FOR eouRMETs.

The latest diet craze is to have your food as highly cOlOred as possible, and from Germany comes the pale-blue lobster, the invention of a learned pro- lessor named Kornfeld. Red Holsters beeing too commonplace to Whet the jaded appetites of society diners, the professor hit upon the brilliant idea of adding an alkali to the water in which the Holsters are boiled. As a result they come out a pretty pale blue, and the smart set are able to breathe again.
 Lobsters are not the only food that German aristOcrats wish to be highly colored. Rose -coIOred soup and tinted bread also enter into the menus.
 Apparently there is a scientific req son for this latest fad in diet. An emil nent medical man gave it as his Opin- ion some time ago that a persons char acter can be guaged by the kind of col Ors he prefers in his foods. Thus, if you are very fond of yellow colored foods. you are probably person of somewhat low and vulgar tastes; but if you choose dishes of a brown or chocolate you show yourself to be a person of refinement
 A speaker at the Pure Food and Health conference, recently held in
 
 few people care for food that is quite colorless. 'Invalids are ordered col ored jellies and port wine" he said. Children prefer colored sweets. Most of us would soon tire of ally white food" There are, no doubt, great possibili- ties in the cOlored-foOd idea, but it is to be hoped that our British restau- rants will not feel called upon to adopt it.-PearsOns Weekly.
