Cordova, November 4

Cordova, November The steamer Alameda will arrive in port Wednesday afternoon about o'clock. She sailed west from Skagway this morning at 4 o'clock. She brings 23 passengers for Cor | dova and 275 tons of freight, of
 which 125 tons is for the town and 175 tons for the railroad and the 1 interior.
 Captain Spencer and his launch 3M left this morning for Valdez. l He took over the mail with him. Chief of Police Hennecke was last | night instructed to use every dili- gence to see that the ordinance re- quiring the removal of snow from sidewalks be strictly enforced dur ing the approaching winter. Here
 after the street committee will not
 concern themselves with this matter,
 the full authority being vested in
 the chief.
 In a report submitted to Council
 last night Fire Chief Berry set forth
 that it was necessary that 800 feet of new hose be purchased and that | hose drying tower be erectetd. As the fire committee had not yet
 looked into the matter the members | were instructed to inspect the hose
 with the chief and given authority
 to make such purchase as is deemed
 necessary.
 The wireless station at Whitshed gives us the information that the steamer Sampson was due at Kodiak
 last night at II o'clock and ex- pected to reach Seward tomorrow
 morning. In that event she should
 arrive at Cordova on Thursday. As
 Kodiak was trying to reach the Sampson by wireless on Sunday
 morning, not having yet been at that
 port, it is likely that she passed up
 Kodiak on her trip to Cooks inlet. Borough Assessor Medley ap-
 peared before council last night and
 expressed a desire to know the views of the members on the kind | of assessment that he is expected to make. After an informal dis cussion of the question it was the general concensus of opinion that
 real property should be assessed its
 full value, practically on the basis of the last valuation. The matter
 of personal property was then gone into and the assessor was given to
 understand that he would be ex-
 pected to assess all merchandise
 stocks, shops, business offices, house.
 hold goods, etc., at full value. It was the idea that by placing the
 full valuation upon all taxable
 property and low per cent of tax ation that the total valuation will
 aggregate close to $1,0O0,OOO, which
 would net nearly $10,OOO at l per cent.
 At meeting of town council last
 night the street committee was in-
 structed to immediately replace the 200 feet of sidewalk that was blown
 into the street by the wind the other
 night. The work will be done by
 day labor. Captain Lathrop and other members took occasion to severely criticize the manner in which the sidewalk was originally laid, and stated that if the work had
 been done by contract, action would
 be taken for damages. However, as
 1t was done by days labor, there is no recourse.

 A party of steamboat men arrived on the train yesterday afternoon. They came through from Fairbanks and will go outside on the next steamer. They are registered at the Windsor and include c. E. Lake, Fred Junkin, B. A. Rice, w. J. Van Burkirk and R. Lloyd.

Parkin, there have been a large num-

With the prisoners already on hand,
this would more than serve to fill both

There were more prisoners sentenc-

Mann act than there have been in any
previous ten years FOR smuggling,

Semi-Oriental effects in dress seems
to be the order of the day. OF course,
the inhabitants of the Balkan states
are not Orientals by any means but
their taste in dress is inclined in this
direction. Many OF their ideas. especi-
ally In colors. are gained from the
Turks of Europe. In this connection
let 1t also be said that the big. lazy
waist of the Turkish women is being
emphasized on several frocks just over
from Paris. French women have re-
belled against the fashion, but certain
leaders are still affecting it for it's
comfort as well as grace. so big waists
will remain at least until fall modes
are definitely settled.
Plating is becoming more in vogue
all the time 1t is indicated on the Bull
garian and Russian blouses. where the
plaits open. or at least art fluted and
appear as though they had lately been
tight knife plaits. A stunning black
satin charmeuse had a back, position
shape, made into a kind of ruffled plait-
ing that extended more than half a
yard below the waist-line. Speaking e
of position backs, they are very mod
list. coming from q front that is half
Elton. The half-jacket in that case is
made with or without a belt. When
with a belt, the plaits hang from the
waist-line. With such effects, the best
belt or ceinture Is that of soft or
patent leather, from a few inches to a
quarter of a yard in width.

thin cloths for boating and walking
| and motoring, made double breasted
| buttoning over the chest. with long
| wide sleeves and big pockets at the

is always serviceab BILE and smart. Hip
length cutaway coats of matelasse and
silk poplin and other silk fabrics are
worn with afternoon frocks Linen
coats are worn with separate linen
skirts; for instance, blue linen Nor
folk is worn with white linen skirt
This same fad for separate coats is
demonstrated in the gowns made with
black satin skirt and colored silk or
satin coat which are much seen in ho-
tel at the tea hour.
OF all trimmings lace is the most be-
coming and the most in demand. A
gown of chiffon ornamented with lace
is almost as appealing as one entirely
fashioned from lace, and 1aces of every
description are used. In fact, the
knowing dressmaker does not hesitate
to combine two and even three kinds of
lace on the wedding frock. There are
innumerable ways of using the lace.
1t may be in the form of bounce. over
which the chiffon or silk is draped: it
may act as this over-drapery falling
over an underskirt of satin or of pleat-
ed chiffon; II may simulate a yoke, or
again it may be confined entirely to
the waist, as has been done in the
gown.
On the bridal gown shown the lace
forms the Medici collar. the narrow
revers and the long angel sleeves. The
Medici collar by the way, is one of
the delights OF the June bride. and from
present indications nine out of ten
brides will wear them. Some are soft,
little more than frills. and fall in a
natural, unrestrained fashion; others
are wired to stand out like the Queen

The lingerie frock of muslin is being
replaced to a large extent by gowns of

IMPROVEMENT IN
 SOUTHERN COLLEGES.

In 1900 only southern colleges had standard requirements for en- trance; this year 160 announced standard admission requirements. Thus Miss Elizabeth Avery Coulton, secretary of the Southern Association of College Women, sums up the ad- vancenent that has taken place in higher education in the South since 1900, in a report distributed by the United States Bureau of Education.
 Not only in entrance requirem ents, but also in libraries, laboratories, buildings, and equipment of all kinds, as well in the extremely important matter of the training and ability of the faculty, Miss Coulton notes mark ed improvement. She attributes the advance chiefly to two agencies, the Carnegie Foundation for the Advance ment of Teaching and the General Ed ucation Board. The former did it's most valuable work through publica- tions. which revealed the wide varia-

GIRLS TESTIFY IN WHITE SLAVE
 TRIAL OF DIGGS

San Francisco, Aug. h2-Forty- eight spectators and no more of the crowd that lined up early today had a chance to get inside of the United States Dis trtct Judge Van Fleets court room, where the trial of Maury I. Diggs, for mer state architect, charged with vio- Iating the Mann act, was picked up where it left off, last Friday. There are 48 seats in the court room outside the bar and Judge Van Fleet ordered that, beginning today, no one who could not find a seat should be allow ed to enter.
 The order disappointed hundreds who hoped to hear the testimony of Mar shall Warrington and Lo1o Morris, who are relied upon by the state to swear that young Diggs and Drew Caminettl 1ured them to Reno, Nevada, in viola tion of the Mann act. The young wom- en were expected to testify today.
 Two witnesses were scheduled to precede the girls, Martin Beely, an un- c1e of Marshall Warrington, who was instrumental in causing the arrests in

FAMOUS ARTISTS
 CONTRIBUTORS TO
 WESTPORT EXHIBIT

The third annual exhibition of the town of Westport, Connecticut, will open with a. reception on Friday after noon, August 22nd, and will last until and including Labor Day, Septenb CT 1st. The exhibit will be held at the Westport Library and will be given for the benefit of that institution.
 It isn't every small town that can boast of a salon, but Westport has es- tabIished itself as an art centre and it's annual exhibitions are celebra ted not only for the number and reputa- ton of their exhibitors, but for the quality of their art. It happens that this particular section of Connecticut Is unusually picturesque and has been seletced by some of Americas best known painters. sculptors and il1ustra- tors as their home. Therefore the paintings, sketches and statuary an- nually shown at Westport are trTly representative of the best of contem- porary artistic effort.
 Among the nationally famous artists whose works will be seen at the com ing exhibition are Karl Anderson, E.. M. Ashe, Hugo Ba11in, Arthur Dove, Si1as Dustin, Ernest Fuhr, J. B. Fra ger, Laura Gardin, J. Mortimer Lich- tenauer, Casip Linde, J. N. Marchand. John B. Morris, Lawrence Mazzano- vich, Angus Mcdonnell, Neil Mitchell, Mrs. Charles S. Prizer, Henry Raleigh, Ralph Willis, George Wright, Robert L. Dodge.

WITH POLICE. ON GUARD PROPRIETOR AND GUEST
 LEAVE BY SIDE DOOR

New York, Aug. 12.-A test of Mayor Gaynor's curfew order to the effect that all liquor selling restaurants should close at 1 o'clock, whether li- quor was being served or not, had an amusing turn in well known restau- rant early today, when the police sur rounded the place shortly after one o'clock, determined to prevent the de- parture of about 30 guests who were still dining there. Thomas Hea1y, the proprietor, and his guests, contended that the recent court order reversed the mayors edict. The police, how ever, locked the restaurant doors and evidently planned to keep the diners confined there over night since they refused to leave. Shortly after three o'clock this morning the proprietor and his guests left by a side entrance with out the knowledge of the police and they went to their homes. The, police were then put on guard at the main entrance.

ton in college standards that prevail ed in the South, while the latter has been especially helpful through the founding of professorships of secon- dary education to aid the high schools in their relation to the col Ie6es.
 Together with the betterment in en- trance requirements has come a de- cided increase in the amount of col 1ege work represented by the degree. In 1904, according to Miss Coulton. the A. B. of only 2 southern colleges represented four full years of col 1ege work, while by 1914 graduates of at least 25 colleges will have com pleted four years of standard college work.
 Although emphatic in her decIara- ton that great Improvement has ta- ken place, Miss CouIton declares that much still remains to be done. Each of the 367 institutions in the South bearing the name college or univer- sity," she says, firmly believes that if is predestined to become the lead ing institutios for higher education in it's community. Nevertheless, with all the education boards, founda- tions, associations, commissions, and conferences working directly or tndf- rectly in behalf of the southern col- Iege and the development, of it's ef- ficiency there remains the hope that many sham colleges may within the next 10 or 12 years be induced to stop conferring degrees and become good preparatory or industrial schools; that others may die from lack of patronage; and that the righteous remnant may thus be en- couraged to continue to strive after ever enIarging Ideals of standard and of service"
