New York, Oct 15.-Revised fig ures of the casualties in the Volturno disaster, issued by the Uranium line, reduced the number of dead to 104 and placed the number of saved at 510. It was said, however, that of ficial figures could not be issued un til Capt. Inch arrived with the ships papers.

 Capt Barr would not talk when the Carmania put in at Fishguard. He referred all inquiries to the reports he had made to his line, and said that he would wait until he arrived at Liverpool before supplying missing details. But his passengers told the story for him.

 Tt was like nightmare" said Miss Bick, young American We got as close to the Volturno as twice the width of a street In the fore part of the ship the flames were leaping high. We could see the white faces of women and girls, some of whom were on their knees praying. We saw mothers with children at their breasts who reached out hands to us, appealing for help. Once when the searchiieht fell upon the stern of the burning liner we saw baby who was laughing in it's mothers face"
 Miss Bradish, another of the Car manla's passengers, said:

up bits OF splendor in bags. Al great

the brocaded patterns and the heavy

those having metal threads) gives

These brocades are found in the me
dunn and narrow widths. They com
bine to advantage with plain soft satin
ribbons for many reasons. The plain
ribbon is chosen In the color which is
predominant in the brocaded ribbon,
and becomes background, which en-

the ribbons used are expensive, only

strip of gold and brown brocaded rib

VERY MUCH ALIVE.

Bellaire, Ohio, has been without sa-
looms for nearly five years. Accord
ing to the argument of the "wets" 1t
should by this time, be dead as a
door nail" But nowhere in the Ohio
valley the Wheeling Intelligencer
tells US, can be found buster or live
lier town than Bellaire. This fact is
plainly demonstrated every Saturday
night. All the stores along the main
streets were so crowded that progress
was almost impossible. One merchant
stated that the crowd in his store was
so large the he, assisted by his corps
of clerks, could scarcely accommodate
them. This city is now on a straight
and rapid road of progress. and in a
few years will undoubtedly be the
foremost city of the valley. The peo-
pie are becoming aware of the fact
that the money spent at home builds
up the town and makes it better
place to live in.

less expensive than bags in which
brocaded ribbons are used, for the fig

The third bag is a splendid bit OF

in ribbon and a narrow gold brocade

metal threads) are combined to make
! an opera bag. The cord is of gold col

Both top and bottom of the bag are
bound with the brocaded ribbon, ma
chine stitched to place. Machine
stitching is factor in the shapelines'

DY WAY of variety some odd, new
. trimmings placed in odd new posi-
tions, have been devised for the latest
of the new velvet hats. Rich velvet
in black and in colors holds its own
as the overwhelming favorite of the
season. But, to keep from having too
much of even very good thing, it has
become necessary for milliners to de-
wise oddities in trimmings.
A soft and becoming hat has a
dropping brim covered with Velvet and
laced with satin. A very full puffed
crown, much larger than the average
soft crown, is draped so that 1t falls
over the brim at the back in the fash
ion of cap. 1t is a clever and effec-
tive arrangement

placed than on the girlish shape which
it adores.
A sash of black ribbon tied in a
small fat bow at the front finishes the

One of the, few plain shapes with
velvet fitted to it smoothly, is pictured
in the second hat. 1t is one of those
having an eccentric brim, widening at
the back and indented at the side.
The shape, perfectly covered, is I'M
trimmed, except for a rose made OF
ribbon, mounted in millinery foliage,
which marks the indentation of the
briim at the side. 1t rests against the
crown, with foliage extending over the
brim.

DRIVER OR pRlNksHoP?

A Chicago coroner gives it IS his
opinion-the result Of his experience
with joy-riding accidents-that men
who are out all night drinking whis-
ky and beer should not be trusted
to drive automobiles. If there is no
law, he says, under which drunken
chauffeur can be locked up, the city
council had better get busy and make
one.
How would it be to lock up tho
places which make drunken drivers?
Why not outlaw the thing which
makes the men incapable of handling
a machine? The people Of Chicago
or any other city can do 1t. They
can see to 1t that no automobile
fatality is caused by drink. It's up to
the voter to get busy"

WHY THEY WON.

The sporting writer Of large east
ern daily tells OF the first notable vic
tories won by American athletes over
those Of England. An English team
had come to New York for an easy
time In maintaining their old-time SUI
periority over all other nations. The
evening before the opening of the
events few Of the Americans dropped
into the British headquarters and were
astonished to find several of them sip
ping ale. In reply to their express
sions of surprise the Englishmen pro-
tested: ooh, we always drink ale, but
not much Of it." In the ensuing con-
tests Great Britain was badly beaten.
Sportsmen in the tight little isle are
now speaking seriously Of the United
States rise In the athletic world, and
are beginning to admit that the Amer
lean system of no intoxicants and no
tobacco at all times must be adopted
