Cars of the Fashionables

New York Tribune, A new mode
has lately been started in Paris for
decorating the inside of closed motor
cars with tiny oil paintings, mounted
in suitable frames and hung around
the inside of the car, according to a
woman who has just returned to New
York A well known painter told her
that he had received a large number
of orders for little canvases of this
kind.
"There is, in fact, marked ten
dency in Paris at present to evolve
what may be called the drawing room
car" she says. "a walk in the Bois
any fine afternoon is enough to show
one dozen cars, many of them paint
ed in such unusual shades as hello
trope or lilac, of which the interior has
been fitted to resemble as much as
possible a tiny boudoir. This fashion,
which began with one or two well
known actresses, is spreading through
society.
"The windows of the cars are
draped with little silk curtains and
dainty lace blinds. Instead of the or
dinary leather seats there are gilded
armchairs of silk tapestry, and brack-
cts for scent bottles, powder boxes and
lip pencils. There are inlaid writing
tables that draw out from the wall.
"Flower baskets are everywhere,
and tiny bookcase holds a minia-
ture set of leather bound volumes of
light novels to beguile odd moments
of waiting outside shops. There are
footstools to match the chair and a
hassock and cushions for the pet Pc
kinese of the cars mistress.
"Some of the newest cars, instead
of being upholstered in the usual dark
eolored leather, are being lined with
velvet or cloth in exquisite shades,
calculated to harmonic with the COM
plexion and toilets of the owner.
zone car l saw in an exhibition
room was upholstered IN dull silver
gray velvet, with fittings of oxidized
silver. The cushions, two square and
one oblong, the latter nicely adjusted
to fit into the small of the back when
on long or tiresome drive, were COW
cred in the same velvet, with the mon
ogram embroidered in silver and gray |
thread in one corner.
"The footrest had tin lined inte-
rior that could be made into a COM
Portable warmer in the cold weather |
and was also covered in gray. Look |
ing glasses, small flasks and all such |
accessories were carried out in gray |
leather and oxidized silver to match.
Another car l saw belonged to a |
Russian noblewoman. 1t was entirely |
worked out in cream and mauve. The
exterior of the car was painted soft |
shade of deep cream, the interior was
upholstered in dull parma violet cloth,
with gunmetal fittings, the dark tone
of the metal making an admirable foil
for the delicate shade of the material"

derby conduct.
The girl. who when first arrested
told her story freely to Chief Beavers
and Recorder Broyles, testified
against North Thursday afternoon
with reluctance. She at first denied
that she knew North, and the next
moment admitted having lived with
him as his wife, both at his mothers
home and at Mrs. Bells. to which lat
ter place she says he induced her
to go.
You say you don't know him. and
vet you admit that you lived with
him?" demanded Recorder Broyles
Well" the girl stammered, Il guess
I kinda know him!"
Both North and the girl asked that
they be allowed to marry The girl

ried once before. in South Carolina,
nut had got a divorce in that State.
You didn't get a divorce in South
Carolina" said the Recorder THE
laws of that State do not permit d.
vorces."
Well" the girl hesitated, II think
my husbands dead, anyway"
You only hope he is dead" retort-
ed Recorder Broyles. You can't
marry this man until you get a di-
vorce."

POLO, ILL, July 1S.-Suspicious
that Mrs. Minnie Richardson. wife
of the crippled keeper of a general
store here, was more than friendly
with her hrother-in-law, VIII Dun
mill, the village stonemason, a band
of women of the village kidnapped
Mrs. Richardson from her home, rode
her on a rail through the town and
dumped her in a mud puddle
After the mud bath they gave her
"a hours to leave the village. Rich
ardson mortgaged his store for 81, 500
and gave her money to pay her rail-
road fare.
When the men of the town went
to Dunnil's home, he was not there
and his wife said he had left the
town. She had mortgaged her home
to get money for him.
Mrs. Peter Stansheld. wife of the
blacksmith, who was captain of the
women "vigilantes," said that the
conduct of Mrs. Richardson and
Dunnill had been the subject of COM
ment for nearly a year.
The women planned to capture
Mrs. Richardson and the men were
to take Dunnill, and the rail- riding
party was to be a double header"
The men failed to find their victim
and Mrs. Richardson rode alone.
The men stood on the sidewalks and
Cheered.
For ten years Richardson, who is
a paralytic, has gone about in
wheel chair. He said to-day:
They were pretty rough on my
wife, but l guess she had not done
right. l don't believe she will ever
come back"

THE startling truth is demonstrate
ed that the eleven Southern States
have paid to Union pensioners of the
War Between the States the entire
value, in 1870, of their agricultural

believe it to be the duty Of your Sena-
tors to resist in every proper way

The speaker also attacked the
workmen's compensation act, now
pending, declaring 1t to be a bill to
save the railroad corporations from
their just liabilities to injured en-
ployees.
Urges U. S. Road Building.
In advocating the excise tax bill,
Senator Smith declared strongly for
constitutional authority to pass an in
come tax which would proportion
equally among the entire citizenship
the expense of Government.
The Senator advocated national ala
to road building throughout the coun-
try. He said the road building ques-
ton was at present before the Post
office and Postroads Committee of
the Senate, and that his every effort,
personally, would be to bring It
through successfully.
Senator Smith went into the plan
of tariff reduction fully He said, in
part:
The Democratic party has under
taken to reform the tariff downward
for the purpose of stopping, as far as
possible, this system of legalized ROB-
berry. The plan of the Democratic
tariff bill involves several different
propositions.
Taxes on Luxuries.
First. The raising Of revenues.
Second. The production Of legiti-
mate, competition, to the end that fair
prices shall be charged consumers.
Third. No taxes, or the lowest pos
sible taxes, upon the necessaries OF

.HOKE SMITH, IN SPEECH
To GEORGIA ASSEMBLY.
DEFENDS CUTS IN tariff I

United States Senator Hoke Smith
addressed the two bodies of the Geor-
gia Legislature in joint session at
noon Friday in the house.
Conspicuous throughout his address
was the strong defense of the national
administration, the keynote of which
was prophetic of a period of I'M
equaled prosperity throughout the
Wilson regime.
Senator Smith declared that the
Democrats to-day have enough votes
In the Senate to pass the tariff bill
He said that Notwithstanding the
cuts made by the national House, the
Senate had cut still deeper, and
made additions to the free list.
For the first time in fifty years 8"
declared the Senator, legislation in
tended to take the burden off the
masses of the people has found no
resistance in the Democratic Senate
It must be conceded by all that the
Senate Democrats have made the
tariH bill more Democratic than it was
when it reached the Senate"
Mr. Smith attacked the present
vogue of vast distribution of charity
by the wealthy men of the nation.
Prefers Taxation to Charity.
I would rather see the National
Government raise the money by in
come taxes and spend it for such
causes than to leave the people in
debted to men for great charities" he
declared.
The Senator advocated States rights
in handling State problems. While
his reference was to the California
Japanese situation, he made its ap-
plication general by saying: From
the Californians' troubles the whole
country is realizing the difficulties
with which we have had to contend.
and they are helping us make con-
verts to the doctrine that we must be
left TO handle our troubles ourselves"
Senator Smith brought up for strong
arraignment the Sherwood bill for an

life and those things used by the grea:
body of the people.
Fourth. High taxes upon luxuries.
With the fullest praise for what
the Democrats of the House did,
wish to say that the Democrats of the
Senate sustained the reductions made
by the House. and after investigu-
tions, made additional reductions Of
great importance
The House Democrats put flour
upon the free list, but taxed wheat
The Senate Democrats put both upon

The House Democrats put meat

The Senate Democrats put meat and
cattle both upon the free list.
The House Democrats left a tax IF
p per cent upon cheap wooden blan-
kets. The Democrats of the Senate
put them upon the free list. The
House taxed wool of the angora guar
and alpaca. The Senate Democrats

The House Democrats taxed fax

them on the free list.
The House Democrats taxed text
books. The Senate Democrats placed
them on the free list.
1T is impossible to say just when
we will vote upon the tariff bill in
the Senate. l believe we will GER
tainly vote before the end of six
weeks, possibly in much less time
l do not think any considerable de-
lay will take place in conference.
believe the differences between the
two houses will readily be adjusted
by the Democrats in the two bodies
and the measure be soon passed with
the approval Of the Democrats of
both houses"
On currency legislation Senator
Smith said:
The currency bill which has been
introduced both in the Senate and in
the House will free the country from
dependence upon Wall Street. 1t
will facilitate an increase of currency
to meet especial demands for same.
1t viii make currency panic impos-
sible. There are many features in
the bill which l thoroughly approve.
There are others which / believe
should be changed. l think the
Democrats of the House and Senate
should make it as nearly perfect as

There are features in the tariff

mittee, but there comes a. time when

majority.

Gratis placed Jute bagging and cotton
