The three pictorial exhibitions SO

Doucet. OF Poiret's tableau of Spain
and the history of France much has
been written. There is the virility
Of man in his clothes. They are
not feminine. They are like great
brush strokes on canvas.
Lanvin shows leaning toward
Italy in the renaissance. Here are
some of the names Of her gowns:
Mich langeIo. Giaconda, Santa
Lucia, the Doge. Suggestive. surely,

has brought to her collection an ex-
quisite fastidiousness that ia lack

that should do better. Her gowns
are helped by the accessories. the
hats, wells, slippers and stockings;
they are carefully chosen. The man

tail, presents the picture of how a
well-dressed woman should appear

ACTIVE CAREER CLOSED.
Late John G. Capers Was Man o
Many Interests.

Washington, Sept. - Although
former Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue John G. Capers died here yes
terday, the fact did not become gen
orally known until today. Mr.. Capers
was prominent and popular in the
District of Columbia, being an active
member of the bar and taking an
energetic interest in business affairs
as well as belonging to several of
the leading clubs.
The political career of Mr.. Capers
is well known in. South Carolina,
where he was born and reared, but
he had not been politically active re-
Gently. He was son of Bishop Ellison
Capers, was born at Anderson, S.
c., in 1866, was educated at the South
Carolina Military Institute and the
South Carolina College and married
Miss Lila Thenholm in 1895, one
year after he came to Washington.
Mr.. Capers' death, which was sudden,
was due to stroke of paralysis. He
had been in good health up to day
or two before. Mrs. William Johnson,
of Charleston, sister of Mr.. Capers,
is here, but Mrs. Capers was visiting
in Virginia when her husband died,
and funeral arrangements await her
return. Besides his wife, Mr.. Capers
is survived by one son, John G. Cap
ers, Jr., and two daughters, Misses
Charlotte and Francis. One of his
brothers is Bishop Walter E. Capers,
OF Mississippi.

i HOLD COTTON"
SMITH URGES.
Georgia Senator Tells Farmers tC
| Stand Together.

New Orleans, Sept. S.-Declaring
the Southeastern States would today
be in vastly more prosperous con-
dition if they had never raised bale
OF cotton, Senator Hoke Smith, of
Georgia, in an address late today be-
fore the meeting of cotton growers,
factors and bankers, urged the neces-
sity of holding cotton until the de
mand created a satisfactory price.
81 earnestly hope,' said the Geor-
gia Senator, "taht the farmers will
quit raising cotton in America un
less they can receive vastly bette
prices for it. You must stand together
collectively organized by counties, ana
hold your cotton until it brings you
a price thaat will compensate IL
the labor put into its culture. The cot
ton farmer should during the coming
season receive at least as high a
price for his cotton as that at which
cotton has sold at any time during
the past twelve months"
He advised farmers to keep new
cotton off the market entirely du;
September and from the first Of Oc-
tober on to sell slowly, only
manufacturers needed it. 'In t.
meantime" he said, while gradual
ly selling your cotton, plant food
stuffs and raise cattle and hogs. LIE
the world understand that ycu will
meet the situation next fall indepen-
dent and owning your cotton"
He endorsed the cooperative prin-
ciples of the American Cotton Asso
citation and referred to the cotton
question as national, not sectional.
A minimum price recommendation
will be submitted to the meeting to-"
morrow by committee appointed to-
day by ]. S. Wannamaker, president
of the American Cotton Association,
under whose auspices the two
meeting is being held here.

MAN MEETS SINGULAR FATE.
Was ElectrOcuted as He Attempted to
Leave His Car-His Throat
Cut Through.

The Darlington News and Press
says:
Al few minutes after midnight last
Saturday N. H. Harmon, one OF our
prominent contractors and business
men was instantly killed as re-
suit Of his car getting entangled
with live wires caused by an acci-
dent which happened just minute
or two before he reached the spot.
1t seems that large limb from an
adjacent tree fell, and in falling it
struck the arc light wires, bringing
them down. One of the poles fell,
not reaching the ground, while ano-
ther pole fell to the ground, the live
wires catching upon the leaning
pole.
Barney Kinsey turned off into Ed
wards Avenue just as the limb,
poles and wires fell, and he saw Mr..
Harmon's car going towards the ex-
act spot, and he, with the young
Messrs. Fulton, gave the alarm to
Mr.. Harmon. The accident had hap
pened almost exactly in front of Rev.
D. NJ. Fulton's residence, and Mr..
Harmon in turning off from Pearl
street into Well street, ran right
into the wires hanging from the
fallen post on to the leaning post.
The wires touched the ground at
some point very near the car, for as
Mr.. Harmon stepped from his car he
came in contact with the live arc
light wires, and, he fell, instantly
killed. In falling his neck caught
across the wires which were entan-
ged around the fender of his car,
and his throa! was burned through
its entire circumference The volt
age of the arc light wires was 1000,
and it is presumed that Mr.. Harmon
was killed instantly. 1t took three
men to pull him from the wires. and
that he realized his extreme danger
| is revealed by the fact that the emer-
gency brake was still on when his
car was examined after the tragedy.

They've been yielding great for me
the past three years. Maybe I've
earned the name of Cal Cabbages.' I'd
like to think so. But the next work
win be even worse, from your point OF
view. I've told you about Mr.. Hatch,
the coal dealer. who wants q strong
young fellow to go into the business
with him. to shoulder some of the
heavier work and responsibility. He
was talking with me the other day-in
fact, made definite offer. which I've
accepted. Tn to own fourth OF the
business, and my crop Of cabbages that
I'm delivering will make my savings
enough TO pay for It. But l shall look
after the harder outside part while Mr..
Hatch, who's getting old. will stay In
the Office. / want TO understand the
whole business. so for a while will
drive one OF the delivery wagons, and
probably be as black and dirty as any
of the colored men. People may get to
calling me 'Soft-Coal CAL or 'Anthra-
cite or 'Bltuminous CAL / hope so.
And / hope the next thing beyond coal
that / enter will stick TO me the same
way. I'd thousand times rather have
some such working name than be II
mere mister this, that or the other.
You wouldn't like IT, though. I'm

But somehow, even for Louise's
friendship Calvin could not wish him
self other than he was. He liked hard
places that must be climbed over or
pushed aside. The very zest OF achiey-
ing almost paid for the hardship of it.
He would far rather struggle for sue
cess in cabbage field or coal yard,
wrestling for every foot gained. than
to sit at a desk In good clothes and
trust to luck or diplomacy. But he
