president affixed to them, I left for Chatham. with the purpose of bring ing No. 2 back to Dallas for trial \
 When the train stopped at Canan- daigua, New York, a messenger called my name at the dining room door, He handed me telegram from the high sheriff of Chatham, which read as follows:
 When my jailor went to the cell occupied by No. at twelve o'clock today he found him dead. Had ap- parently been dead an hour. Cause of death yet unknown. Probably heart failure.'
 The autopsy showed that the man had killed himself by swallowing laudanum, but how he had obtained the drug was never discovered.
 Thus only two of the swindlers re- mained for trial, and these, rather re- markedly, were No. and No. 4, both of whom I had arrested at Ocean Springs.
 The case now came on for trial, and turned the duplicate bills of lading over to Capt. Tom Brown of Sherman, Texas, who was the railroad con- pany's attorney in that district. These, with, other documentary evil dence, the captain placed in his over coat pocket, and he left that garment, together with his coat and hat, on rack in the corridor of a hotel while he was eating breakfast. When he returned for his overcoat the papers had been stolen. In consequence of the loss of these documents, when the case was called the prosecuting attor- ney asked that a nolle prosequi be en- tered in the case, thus letting the two men go free.
 This was an unfortunate ending to so much enterprise, but no stigma ever attached itself to Captain Brown, who was afterward elected judge of the supreme bench of Texas.

To Preserve Historic Building.

Lovers of historic spots will be pleased by the note that the Associa- tion for the Preservation of Virginia Antiquities has virtually completed its campaign for the acquisition of the old est courthouse in the United States, that which was built at Eastville, Northampton county, in 1880. The building Is a beautiful specimen of colonial brick structure, laid up in Flemish bond. It's original cost was 7,127 pounds of tobacco. Over a cen tury ago it was leased to MT. Not. tingham for $1 a year on condition that he put new roof on 1.-the lease to run as long as the roof lasted. He soaked his shingles in linseed oil, and the courthouse remained in possession of his heirs till 1913, when the coun- ty bought it for $4,000. The super visors were about to demolish it in order that the site might be otherwise used, when the association came to the rescue.

When Miss Elsie Ferguson married she
chose, on the morning Of her wedding, out
OF a number of gowns which she had
in her trousseau. a frock that was made
on these lines. 1t was of apricot-colored
chiffon cloth and was so simple and plain
that it could have been worn for break
fast in the morning.
The choice of this coincided with this
lovely actress taste in all her clothes, and
the smartest Of French women are her
CO. partners today in adopting these ex-
quisitely made. severe frocks of a flmy
fabric that gives gentleness and softness
to the face and figure.
Over such frock is worn the lace

Little Capes Grown Large.

Last winter there was rush of
small capes to this country. but they
did not take a strong hold upon the
public. Certain women wore them to
obtain an individual effect in dressing.
and here and there they were called
sweet" or "old-fa shioned' or ''pictur-
esque": but the women who contem-
platively looked at them usually ended
in buying sweaters instead.
1t is certain that the Introduction of
the Victorian cape brought about the
fashion for pla cling deep scarfs of pill
a BILE fur about the shoulders in a
straight line, fastening them snugly
across the bust.
From all evidences it looks as though
peltry will be worn all summer. if not
in this fashion, then in another. The
fact that the climate does not call for
swea ter or fur shoulder scarfs is of
su IL Importance to the woman who
W. is to follow the fashions She may
be uncomfortable, but she will be smart.
Now that it is midsummer and the
French designers realize that the small
victorian capes have not proved accepta-
BILE to the American public in sufficient
mass to make them worth while CONNER
cially. they have determined to institute
coats and shawls that might be described
as little capes grown large
Neither of these garments make a pre-
tense of affording warmth. for which the
American people should be grateful as
sweaters, while they are colorful, are
not calculated TO make one happy on a
hot day.

NEW COATS FOR AFTERNOON FROCKS
BY ANNE RITTENHoUSE.
al Correspondence of The Star.

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK, July lit appears
from the trend of smart clothes for the
August social season that women must
wear some kind OF drapery floating
from the shoulders at all ceremonial
hours.
Capes in themselves are not new.
The house of Callot never allowed them
to vanish from the forefront of fash
ion, but used them in some way rs a
background to a swirling gown that
fell from shoulders to ankles, in the
famous lines that only this house can
accomplish.
The world of fashion knew that the
voluminous background of filmy dra-
perry and the slender skirt were a part
of the Callot method of making gowns
and that no fluctuations in fashions di-
verted this house from the usage OF
certain of it's hall marks.
The other houses have not used the
shoulder drapery to any extent. al
though now and then the house of
Premet originated gown with
coat of embroidered chiffon which did
not meet in front.

Count Michael Karolyi, who is a
member of the Hungarian lower house

contending that Hungary had achieved

saved the country from invasion and
had preserved the monarchy and throne
and that the Hungarians had perfect
right to come forward with their
ella inns for compensation.
He argued further that the political
unity Of the Hungarian nation should
be recognized: that all the attributes
Of national state. as we'll as economic

that, above all, peace should be re-
stored.

Ribbons and Bows.

This is a ribbon season. as we all
know. and the shops, naturally, have
put forth a big and goodly supply of
attractive ribbons in response to the
demand fashion has made for them.
Do you know how to tie bow?
Probably not. In this day of specializa-
ton few women do know how to tie
more than a lingerie or hair ribbon. We
leave it for the saleswoman at the rib
bon counters. for our dressmakers and
our milliners to tie bows of every other
sort.
To begin with. if you would tie bows
successfully, buy reel of fine covered
wire and use it to tie the loops in po
sition. This. for instance, is the way
professional ties a sash rosette for
cbild's frock. She takes one end of two
or three yards of ribbon and measures
off about thirty inches to go around
the waist Then she makes many
loops she wishes. gathering the rib
bon for each through her fingers.
Next she measures off with her right
hand. holding the loops in her left,
enough ribbon for the two ends, and Al
the end of this ribbon makes one more
loop. This leaves a long loop OF ribbon,
later to be the two ends, hanging. Now
she ties all the loops together securely
with the wire. cuts the long loop dag
onally in two to form the two ends, and
with one of them ties around the
rosette loops. making one end short
er than the other.
Moire ribbon is perhaps prettest for
children's sashes, although a stiff quail
ity of taffeta answers the same purpose
well. The soft satin ribbons are not so
pretty on children are the SITTER
Ill L'oy- at n
three-inch width forms a good girdle.
1t can he finished at the back with an
upsta nding loop and down hanging
end to cover the secure closing made
by means of snaps or hooks and eyes.
Hatband ribbons are especially in
teresting this summer. a tailored bow,
fat but not pressed down. finishes the
left side of the hat when these rib
bons are used, and in most shops
lengths of ribbon with bows attached
are sold for varying prices.
Brocaded ribbons. with raised velvet
figures on thick satin ribbon founda-
tions, are also smart. One such ribbon
shows pansies of black, blue and purple
velvet on a cerse ribbon. Another
shows overlapping pellets or big polka
dots of three colors-peacock blue, old
gold and plum-on a black background.
