this yoke is made with seams over the
hips. In the picture, the material il.
gabardine, and gabardine is a deserved
favorite, but the skirt can be used for a
variety of materials. 1t can be utilized
successfully for the coat suit, and it il
just as pretty and graceful for the indoor
gown. 1t is simple, it is easy to make,
consequently it seems to mean all ad.
vantages. The plated portion is cut in
four cores and the yoke in three pieces,
but the seams of the skirt are concealed
by the plaits. The finish can be made at
the high or at the natural waist-line.
The buttons make the only trimming

Dictionary.
Readers have been on the alert for
three days to seize the great educa-
tional offer. Their hopes and eXpec-
tations will be realized to-day. Cou-

torial and contributing force of The
New Universities Dictionary. George

Mr.. Hagar and the publishers of
The New Universities Dictionary de-
cided that more than a mere list
of words was needed by those who
wish to keep pace with the growth
and uses of our language. They
made the vocabulary the newest and
to be found in any die
tionary and then, assisted by leading
American teachers of English, added
to it dramatic accounts of how our
language grew and intensely interest
ing stories of word building. Among
these articles are:

Is There a Life After

I kind in heaven or hell which their

leave this earth plane The very inert
and jelly fish sort of mentality is NOT

OF the nature of life after death on

or understanding to a knowledge of
their situation. Hundreds of thou
sands of human beings reach the
spirit world and for long periods of
time are unconscious that they have
died, because they find the conditions
surrounding them quite like those
they left on earth. The first step to-
ward their advance in spiritual life
must come from making them aware
OF the experience of death.
5. Yes, we should renew earthly ac-
qualntances and relations when those
relations have been on the same
spiritual plane. The mere act of
death does not change souls The
difference between the spirit realms
and the earth plane is that each soul
In the spirit world will be attracted
to his own kind, and it will be impos-
sible for him to associate with other
kinds save as he goes forth on bene-
VIOLENT journeys. All social life in the
spirit realm will be that of elective
affinities.

me, perfectly satisfactory evidence of
the existence of the soul after death.

RECALL IN SPARTANBURG.
Petitions Started Against the Mayor
and Two Commissioners.

Spartanburg, Oct. 23.-Five pc
titions asking for a recall of Mayor
John f. Floyd and Commissioners
Waller and Fielder are in circulation
in Spartanburg today, as the result
of controversy that arose in the city
council here last week over a loan of
$4,000. The money was borrowed
from local bank, with which the
mayor is associated, at 1-2 per cent
Commissioner Hudson, who is in
charge of finance, presented a bid on
the part of another local bank, offer
ing the city money at ga. Mr.. Hud-
son claimed that the mayor had ig-
nored him in the transaction and
that q higher rate of interest was be-
ing paid than was necessary. A heat
ed controversy took place in council
chamber and since it has been a sub
ject Of discussion on the streets.
While no one has acknowledged re-
sponsibility for the present effort to
bring about a recall of the mayor and
commissioners who voted with hin,
this issue is known to be the begin
ming Of the agitation.
Commissioners Hudson and Gall
r1an are now nearing the end Of their
terms, their offices having been abol-
ished by Act Of the last legislature re-
ducing the city's governing body from
n mayor and four commissioners to
a mayor and two commissioners.

A VERY FINE CIRCUS,
MOST AND BEST TRAINED AMI
MAILS EVER EXHIBITED HERE.
Large Crowd Attended Afternoon Per.
fOrmancc and Fair Sized Audience
at Nieht-AIl Highly Pleased With
lIagcnbcck-W Wallace ShOwS-Circus
Goes to Charleston for Exhibition.

There was only one objection to
the circus" many Of those who at
tended it Saturday have been heard
to remark, lit was simply impossible
to see all the things that were going
on at one time and there were so
many interesting things that 1 missed
while l was watching something else,
seemingly equally interesting" That
is about the consensus Of opinion
here as to the Hagenbeck- Wallace cir
Gus which paid a visit to this city on
Saturday for two performances.
Many others were still more enthus-
iastic and pronounced it unqualifiedly
the best circus that has ever come to
Sumter and the best that they had
ever seen. Without a doubt Hagen
beck-Wallace circus is the best that
has been to Sumter in the past five
years and one Of the best which has
ever been here. Though not so large
as some, it has by far the largest num-
ber of we'll trained animals in any cir
Gus ever seen in this section Of the
country. The trained animals were
the great features of the show, Al
though there were other wonderful
exhibitions and numerous novel acts,
such as had never been seen before.
Altogether the people of Sumter are
highly pleased at the circus and it is
hoped that it will come through here
again next year.
1t would be impossible to mention
all Of the wonderful acts, each one of
which sent thrills up and down the
spines Of the spectators. but probably
those which excited more comment
than any others were the marvellous
slide down an inclined wire on his
head by one of the performers, the
whip snapper, the performing tiger,
the dancing mule, the trained pigs
and the wonderful black driving
stallion. These We're merely a few of
the marvellous acts, but they stood out
prominent from the others as wonders
OF training and practise. The aerial
trapeze swings were hair-raising and
the perch balancing stunts were the
best ever seen here. The numerous
clowns, more than in any other circus
which has ever visited Sumter, afford
ed no end of fun by their continuous
" ludicrous ana mirthful perform
ances. Then to cap the climax. the
whole show was clean and the spec
tators wore left with a good taste in
their morta, c't. s'tlinl through two
hours of thrills.
