was simple and smart and was softened
and rendered becoming by the white
aigrette which sprung from it's center
ornament. Fine white tulle stiffened
by invisible wires formed the hair or
nament at the foot of the group. This
was sparingly sewn with rhinestones.
The butterfly effect was further in
creased by the antennae Of wire also
jeweled tipped.
A dispatch from Paris gives the re-
suits OF some observations on fash
ionable attire worn at the races in
that city. Apart from the extremes
which fashion experts say are only
tentative experiments before the final
models for the season are selected,
today's meeting was remarkable for
the introduction for afternoon wear
OF colored wigs, a revival OF the blue
serge skirt and especially for q
startling attempt. to launch frflled
pantalettes of fine linen with alencon
lace which were worn with a short
crinoline skirt.
The whole scheme Of this costume
was most faithfully carried out. The
material was old fashioned silk of
natural color with small roses and an
1890 bonnet tied under the chin
which wildly recalled visions of Dolly
Warden.
Regarding hats. although every
body is wearing exceedingly small
shapes, practically no aigrette plumes
are to be seen. According to expert
authority this Is only a passing phase.
Later in the spring paradise and os-
prey feathers may again hold sway.

he German cavalry have been show
ing considerable daring and have been
trying to cut the communications of the
allies between the Disc and coast.
French reports bring confirmation of
the rumors that the Saxon army under
General Won Hansen has been reorgan-

up but this Is taken to mean that it
has been reorganized and the parts dis

cavalry, for instance. has been sent east.
While accounts of the operations in
Galicia differ, and one goes so far as to
say that General Dankl's army is sur

Of the German corps there remain, 1t Is
considered certain that the armies have

APPROPRIATION
FOR NJ AIN TO
REMAIN IN river
AND HARBORS BILL
Strong Protests Against
So-Called "Pork
Barrel" Items

Washington. Sept. 20-The prolonged
discussion of the Republicans against
many of the so-called pork barrep'
items of the river and haroors bill will
undoubtedly saSA the country many mil
lions of dollars 1t looks now as if some
sort of rivers and harbors bill would
pass before the end of the session, but it
will be greatly modified from the extreme
measure framed by the House.
Maine Appropriations
Apparently there will be no effort made
to reduce the appropriations for Maine
Portland harbor is regarded to be of
such Importance that there will be no
protest against the appropriation already
recommended. 1t is barely possible that
Tenants Harbor may suffer, although not
yet certain. 1t is also suggested that in
the place of specific appropriations lump
sum will be appropriated and put in the
hands of the secretary OF war for dis
oursement All this, however, is still a
matter of conjecture, except that Port
land Is practically certain to remain I'M
disturbed in the Improvement of the har-
Dor.
There has been no suggestion thus far
made in the modified will to reduce the
appropriations for Maine, as they are re-
garded of merit and Importance, and the
bill now makes ample provision for them.
The appropriation for Boston harbor Is
likely to suffer unless the vigorous pro-
test raised by New England men pre-
walls.

The Story

Astoria, Ore, Sept. 20.--There were
u passengers and members of the
crew of the steamer Leggett, which
was lost off the Oregon coast last
night, drowned and only three sur
vivors.
Alexander Farrell, a passenger, was
found by the San Francisco and Port
land steamship Beaver after floating
10 hours in the heavy sea. He saw
five women and children sink near
him.
The Beaver was not in contact with
the lost ship. but ran into her wreck
age about midnight, after which she
found the oil steamship Frank H.
Buck with two men already saved
and the tankers boats out searching
for more.
Two RoatIoads Drowned
I'VE left Gray's Harbor Wednesday
morning." said Farrell Later the
sea became rough. The Leggett began
to pound heavily and the captain
gave orders to jettison the deckload.
Then the seas swept off the hatch
es and the hold began to FILL Capt
Jensen ordered the passengers into
when the boat went down.
When 1t was seen that there was
no hope for the vessels Capt. Jensen
ordered the lifeboats launched. In the
first boat We're 80 persons, two of
whom were women. There were only
six women on board and the other
four were not at that end of the ship
when the boat was launched.
"As soon as the boat struck the wat.
er it capsized, and all the occupants
We're thrown into the sea and drown
ed A few minutes later an attempt
was made to launch the second life
boat. 1t contained four women and
their husbands. The boat met the same
fate as the other boat.

IT was standing on the bridge when
the ship went down. The boat -capsized
as she sank. l don't know how long I
was under water, but when I came to
the top grabbed railroad tie and
hung on.
THE wireless operator also was
hanging onto the tie. I saw men
sinking all around me, but could not
hear their cries owing to the screech-
ing gale.
1T soon became dark, but it was l
o'clock in the morning when the Beav-
er picked me up. The wireless opera
