A BEAUTIFUL ARRAY.
Mrs. Sam E'riedberg Has Robes and
Laces from Switzerland.

Laces. waists, embroidered robes
and Bulgarian 'broderies' are dis
played in dainty array by Mrs. Sam
Friedburg, 625 Kansas avenue. They
are all imported. They came from
the snow-capped peaks of the Alps
from st. Gallen in southern Switzer-
land. Mrs. Friedberg's uncle has a
large factory there-employs 500
quaint Swiss girls who sew and de-
sign and stitch.
The goods come straight from s.
Friedberg, St Gallen, to S. Friedberg.
Topeka-come in foreign boxes
wrapped in queer sacks. One cuts the
string and gazes on things charming
enough for a brides trousseau.
Nothing is duplicated. The Swiss
uncle selects his choicest "broderies'
and mails one of each to his far
away niece in the Sunflower State.
There are boxes upon boxes of filmy
handkerchief of gay Bulgar-
ian work, new designs in Dutch col
lars. Especially attractive are the
embroidered robes" or frocks; one in
a dainty daisy pattern; another sewn
each stitch by hand-in small pink
roSebuds.

TRAP FOR MOSQUITOES
Plan Is to Lure Them to Death b.
Music.

Atlantic City. \. J., July 31.--The
Atlantic county mosquito commission
which has been granted a $4,000 APP
preparation by the board of free hold
ers to rid the county of mosquitoes,
may try to lure the pests to death by
musical vibrations generated by cleo
tricity.
According to information which the
commission has received, DR.. l.. O..
Howard, of the federal department of
agriculture, has discovered that the
hum of mosquito commonly attributed
to the vibration of its wings is really
caused by air expelled during the
process of respiration. Dr. Howard
learned that this hum could be imi-
tated by electrical vibrations, toward
which mosquitoes precipitated them
selves as If drawn by a powerful mag
net. BY attaching large strips of
sticky fly paper back of the vibrat-
ing wires he perfected a deadly ex
terminator.
DR.. Howard is noted in the depart
ment of agriculture as an entomolO-
gist and is the author of several
studies of mosquito problems The
local commission has addressed an in
quiry to him with the idea of adopt
ing his plan if it proves practical

Jewel RObberies Cause Big
Influx of Detectives.

Nara gansett Pier. r. l., July 81
These are unhappy days for the chance
visitor here, who does not bear on his
person refutation OF the suspicion that
he is one of the gang of thieves who
robbed the homes of c. c. Rumsey and
John H. Hanan.
All but those who are well known
here are viewed with suspicion ard
some of the amateur sleuths go so far
as to say that a few residents will hear
watching.
The usual number of mid-w
guests has been nearly doubled by the
presence of detectives and as these
men represent at least three or four
competing agencies, the greater number
are not known to one another In one
instance two operatives representing
owing each other.
The gaiety at the Casino and other
places where the members of the cot
tase colony met today was subdued by
the knowledge that detectives were
about. Patrons spoke in whispers over
their tea cups and every stranger
whether. man or woman. was i'm
mediately placed under suspicion of be-
ing either detective or jewel thief
The usual crop of inside tips to the
effect that arrests are imminent are
afloat but those in authority say that
the detectives are no wiser as to the
identity of the thieves who got away
with S225,000 worth of gems.
Both Mr. Rumsey and Mrs. Hanan
declared ridiculous the theory that a
house guest had sought to climb higher
in society by the aid of the missing
ropes of pearls. My guests were all
old friends said Mrs. Hanan. ''and
none of them was in the house when
the robbery took place"

1T IS THE SAME.
Porter's Park Budget Figures Close to
the Estimate.

The estimate filed late yesterday by
| Commissioner W.. L. Porter was prac-
tfcally the same as the tentative
budget, given in the State Journal yes
terday afternoon. The commissioner
asks for a total of S52,171 for the
the coming year.
Included is the estimate for park
purposes. totaling s25,290, which the
commissioner has planned to spend
during the year. Ard in this is in
cluded several items of interest.
At Gage park provision is made for
city water system to cost $500. and
the renovation and rebuilding of the
swimming lake at a total cost of S3,-
600. The estimate also includes an
electric lighting system for Gage park
estimated to cost $4,000. An addi-
tional sum of $500 is included for
grading drives and esplanade at Gage.
Provision is made in the budget for
more music next year than could be
furnished this year. The fund asked
for amounts to $1,S51, which will pro-
vide 4 concerts by Marshalls band,
five by the knights and Ladies of Sc
curity band and five by Jackson's
band.
The estimates for most of the de-
years, and amounts about to the same.
The crematory department, however,
will receive but $4,000 this year in
stead of $4,000 accorded it last year,
and it does not benefit by its receipts,
which go into the general revenue
can be maintained on the estimate he
gives, making a big cut in this item of
expense.
The distribution of the amount
asked for the park fund is shown by
the commissioners figures as follows:
