The Spirit of Fear.

When the days grow cool and the nights are
clear
There stalks abroad the Spirit of Fear
1t is sad but true. Autumn is often
called the sad time of the year, and it
is the sad time. But it shouldn't be.
Old Mother Nature never intended that
it should be. She meant it to be the
glad time. 1t is the time when all the
little people of the Green Forest and
the Green Meadows have got over the
care and worries of bringing up fami-
lies and teaching their children how to
care for themselves. 1t is the season
when food is plentiful and every one is
fat and is, or ought to be. carefree. 1t
is the season when Old Mother Nature
intended all her>~iittle people to be
happy, to have nothing to worry them
for the little time before the coming
of cold weather and the hard times
which cold weather always brings.
But instead of this a grim, dark
figure goes stalking over the Green
Meadows and through the Green Forest
and it is called the Spirit of Fear.
It peers into every hiding place, and

CONTROL BY. NEW HAVEN

The New Haven railroad and the Bos-

England large manufacturing concerns
have filed briefs with the interstate
commerce commission urging that the
New Haven be permitted to continue
stock ownership and service of the New
England Steamship Company and other
Long Island sound steamer lines.
The New Ravens petition and brief
set forth that the transportation needs
of New England justify the operation,
despite the provisions of the Panama
canal act which prohibit joint owner

The New England manufacturers, in
their brief, say that while they have

Now that the autumn season is in full
swing the shops are at their best. They
offer temptation even to the most sophisti-
Gated buyer. Hats are more alluring than
ever in their artistic simplicity. They are
decorated rather than trimmed. One does
not pay for tissues this season, nor for
fine feathers; one pays for art, for the
clever touch of the fingers of the modistes,
for the Transformation of prosaic ma
terials into hats of unparalleled chic and
smartness. Paint and embroidery, fringes

metal, tiny feathers which might have

TAKE STOCK Of DAMAGE
WROUGHT BY HURRICANE
Southern Alabama and Western
Florida Report Two Deaths and
Big Property Loss.
BIZ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MOBILE, Ala, October 19.-Southern
Alabama and western Florida were re-
covering today from the hurricane
which swept out of the gulf across
this coast yesterday. causing two
deaths and property and marine loss.
Although the wind attained greater
velocity than that which accompanied
the great storm of last July, both Mo-
bile and Pensacola, the chief cities in
the hurricanes path. suffered far less
damage. The total loss in the two
cities proper probably will not exceed
100000.
Chief Damage in Mobile.
The chief damage in this city was to
railroad sheds and terminals and to
telephone, telegraph and light and
power wires. when the wind attained
it's maximum velocity several persons
were blown through plate-glass win
dows, but they escaped serious injury.
The one death here-that of a negro
woman-was caused by the falling OF
live wire into the street.
At Pensacola the government aero
plant escaped, but a grain elevator was
much damaged and railroad warehouse
well as other buildings unroofed. The
electric light plant also was put out OF
commission and all wires were down for
twelve hours, the city being cut off from
communication with the outside world for
that length of time. Train service from
Pensacola to Jacksonville will be sus-
pended for a week as the result of dam
age to the tracks.
Marine damage was great, both in this
harbor and at the Florida port. Two
small vessels here sank, while four others
were driven ashore. In addition. num-
Der of small craft were destroyed.
