BONES DATE FROM 1000 B. C.

srecial Gable to The Washington Herald.
London. Aug. 1-Prof Keith, Of the
Royal College Of Surgeons, has been in
vestigating the history OF a skeleton dat
ing from about 1000 B. c.. which was
found during excavations by ]. Reid Moir
at the base of the Red Crag at Thoring-
Iton Hall, whorstead, near Ipswich.
1t is the skeleton of a twelve-year-old
boy. His stature must have been much
the same as the average height of a
modern boy of the same age, but the
large size of the head is remarkable.
Close to the skeleton was an urn about
ten inches deep and six inches in diam
eter. This was a food vessel for the use
Of the boy. on his arrival in the next
world.
The vessel is of a type which was only
made in the late Neolithic and early
bronze periods. 1t is decorated all around
with marks pierced by thumb nails, "a
method of decoration which is very an
Client
Prof. Keith said: 1--WE are trying tc
get hold of people OF every period, going
as far back as we can. We are trying
to follow the English people right back
beginning with the Roman period. We
shall then be able to describe the people
who lived in any period and the changes
that came over them. So far there has
been very little change"

London, August 1.-The latest femi-
pIne ambition is to enter the ministry
Ordination Of women to the priesthood of
the Church Of England is rapidly becom-
ing a matter Of practical politics in GER
tain church circles.
Matters have gone so far that a confer
ence of clergymen's wives and qualified
church workers is likely to be held in the
near future to discuss this new and start
ling departure from recognized custom.
A great mail has been dispatched far
and near and the bulk of the replies re-
ceived favor both the conference and the
ordination OF women.
Those who are backing the scheme
with their patronage have ready the
usual stock OF arguments. 1t is
held, for instance, that the priesthood
is not necessarily a masculine office; II
is a human ofice; the brilliant careers
OF various abessess, lady superiors, and
the yeoman work they have done in such
cases as that Of the Abbess OF the Sacre
Occur, recently dissolved in Paris. go

rendered to the cause OF Christianity in

EGYPTIAN. TYPE SEEN
in new PARIS GOWNS
Charming Development Is Noted in
Capitalization of Fashion
of the Period.
SHORT JACKETS ARE POPULAR
i.l Cable to III. Washington Herald.

Special Gable to The Washington Herald.
Paris, Aug. What l have already
said about fashions becoming crystallized
into something truly representative Of the
taste of the period is deserving OF greater
and greater emphasis.
Now. in midsummer. two things are
necessary in order to be in the move
ment: One is TO wear fiounces. and tne
other to wear very loose jackets, short
in front and falling low in the back.
These features are esential for the sim
pier attire.
As to elaborate dress. the Egyptian type
dominates, not only in the general lines,
but also in the slightest details. and this
is one of the most charming developments
that l have been able to report in a long
time.
We have cinctures wound several times
about the waist. the ends weighed down
in front with fringe in various forms; We
have close-ftting corsages with long rows
of buttons in front. all, even to the widely
open neck, recalling exotic costumes,
with silken scarfs, teased by the wander
ing breeze-a fine bait for the masculine
fancy at the seaside or at the cures. We
have the underskirt so narrow. however.
that it rather suggests the Oriental
shortness of the pantaloon OF the harem;
and We have in everything taffetas. sup
pie as mousseline and equally lusterIess,
as the chief material.
The belt is assorted in color to the
main tissue. The white adOrnmenLs OF
sleeves and collars are infinite in variety.
Those which are of mousseline have very
finely scolloped edges and are heavily
starched; others are in coarse tulle, dou-
bled; still others are Of fine embroidered
linen.
One of the prettiest novelties is to cut
the bottom of the underskirt into square
shaped tongues, so that the regular mo-
ton OF walking causes them to fly about
in a tantalizing fashion-at least from
the standpoint of the admiring beholder.
Tailor costumes. absolutely correct.
either with the Norfolk Jacket or the
simple straight coat, are made with much
fanciful variety Of detail.
In some there are broad stripes upon
a white ground; others are entirely OF
polka dotted duck, while plaid linen and
striped and checkered flannel are used
with equal frequency. The important
thing is that these costumes shall bear
the real tailor stamp. Material is Of less
Importance than that.
To wear with them there are adorable
little hats in coarse silk, assorted to the
ruling tone. The crowns are supple, the
edges are lined with linen and there is a
small knot at one side. made OF the same
material as the dress. This simple coif-
fure with a veil of assorted tint, almost
promises to outdo every other for outing
occasions this summer.

WAR SCARE BENEFITS HOTELS

London, August 1.-The tide Of travel
has turned. and with another week gons
London will begin to be empty OF for
eIgn visitors.
Curiosly enough the fear of a general
European war has had a beneficial, IL
transitory, effect, so far as London hotel
proprietors are concerned. every chan
mel steamer for the past few days hav-
ing brought over from the Continent
hundreds OF Americans intent on getting
out Of the path OF possible danger e-,d
recognising the fact that England alone
would be a safe place whatever tran
spires.
But westbound liners leaving this week
have been filled to their capacity. Ar
riving transatlantic ships have brought

Paris. Aug. l.-Four months after the
romantic marriage Of Josephine Browne

grandson and heir of Duke Ferdinand
OF Portugal, their love idyll is said tc
have been rudely shattered by Feuer'
herds infatuation for Miss Kathlyu

appeared in several Belasco companies.
The couple are reported about to sepa-
rate and while the young husband con-
tinues to pay marked attention to the
New York actress, Chicago's leading lady
is accompanied to dance parties by Count
De Santestafoin. OF Madrid, q famous
amateur toreador.
The wreck OF the Feuerheerd home Is
said to be due solely to the volatile young
Portugueses craze for Titian-haired
women.

Josephine Browne has flaming bronze
locks which. II has always been her boast.
are far more beautiful than those OF
Miss Constance Collier, the English
tragedienne.
On the other hand. Miss X. Tyndall's
hair. in Feuerheerds opinion. is the exact
and sorrect shade OF Titan red, and Il
for this feature OF her beauty that his
wife began 10 suspect his affection was
waning.
The couple had often danced together
the well-known tango and one-step in
tearooms in the Champs Elysees, and the
breach between Feuerheerd and his wife
was considerably widened this week when
Mrs. Feuerheerd appeared with the Span
ish count and tangoed on the same floor.
Talk of Divorce.
Friends are now discussing the probable
date of Josephine Brownies second d.
vorce suit. but Feuerheerd protests there
are no grounds for such action.
1T is all nonsense he said. sngrily.
Married men are surely at liberty to
dance occasionally with other women in
America if they choose"
He admitted there had been trouble.
but insisted II was only one Of those tins
common to young married couples.
Mrs. Feuerheerds friends say her read
iness to receive the attentions OF Count
de Santestafoin. a debonair young noble,
who is the idol of Msdrilene beauties. is
only a subtle move designed to win back
her husbands love.
Miss X. Tyndall left for New York sud
denly and efforts now will be made to
bring the couple together again.

CHARGING German Army with Cruel
ty, she Has es2 Witnesses.
spea.l Gable to The Washington Herald.
Berlin, Aug. 1.-The trial of Rosa Lux
ernburR, the red Amazon, who is facing
a charge Of libeling the German army,
is likely to be a very lengthy affair. Her
greatest offense is that she made a
speech in which she talked of the "groans
of the victims of the dramas of cruelty
enacted day by day in German bar
racks" The essence of this morsel OF
the toric lies in the assertion that cruelty
Is Of daily occurrence in the army. This
is what stung the public prosecutor into
motion. Rosa has accordingly been given
to understand that she will have to prove
incessant acts OF cruelty.
In reply she has obliged with a list of
s2e witnesses, just about the strength of
a battalion on a war footing, all Of whom
will declare in court that they were SUBJ
iected, occasionally by officers, but most
iv BY noncommissioned officers to
PUNCHES, slaps and pushes. blows with
riding whips, and the fat Of swords, jabs
with scabbards, and boxes on the ears,
not to mention kicks and abuse, and
further, that these things were in many
cases the daily fare Of their particular
barracks.
n n the s22 do not sufice, the defense
is ready to oblige with more. To the
horror Of the presiding Judge, Rosa. who,
Of course. will enjoy the trial hugely,
ana have more to say than her counsel,
insists that all the witnesses be ex-
Amined

Erected for a ''ForeIEn Navy"
Special Cable to The Washington Herald
London. Aug. Public curiosity has
been aroused by the announcement that
at the great Armstrong ship-building
yard on the Tyne, the most powerful
armor-clad warship in the world is be-
ing built for a foreign navy"
The suggestion ~that the vessel is in
tended for a near eastern country such
as Turkey or Greece is secuted, particu-
larly as these two nations are on the
verge Of bankruptcy and il seems to
be generally assumed that the order has
been placed by the Brazilian govern
ment.
One naval expert declares that the
vessel will be the costliest man-of-war
ever produced and It is authoritatively
stated that she will greatly exceed in
offensive power and defensive qualities
any battleship at present aioat. She
will be $50 feet long. 81 feet wide. and
will have a tonnage OF 30.500 She will
carry eight 15-inch guns, fourteen 6-inch,
ten finch, and two torpedo tubes. Her
protection will include 13 1-2-inch armor
on the main belt, barbettes. and gun
shields.
The heaviest guns at present in use
in the British navy are 1+5 inches. Fiji
teen-inch guns will be mounted in the
Royal Sovereign and her stoutest armor
is twelve inches thick.

Paris, Aug. L-Glossomancy, or read

tongue, is a new science which has just
come before the public and is creating
quite a furor. The glossomancers, OF

similation: broad tongue, unreserved-
ton.
When the tongue is long and broad the
owner is inclined to, be gossipy. When
the tongue is long and narrow, he is

Those who possess short and broad ton
