| WEALTHY TRIO WHO APPLY COAT cn OF TAR TO MAN ARE ARRESTED |. | “ZARRED AND FEATHERED, 4s a result of a coat of tar admin- istered to F. E. Bliss, Jr., three wealthy men of Washington were ar- rested. They are Charles Marthinson, sixty-two years old, a lumber man facturer with extensive the South; James L. years old, a stock broker, who is said to have made $100,000 in the market recently, and Henry Cole, thirty years | old. They were released in $500 bond ach, furnished by Oscar J. Ricketts. The administration of the tar lowed a visit made by Bliss to the Marthinson home, and after, as the ar- rested men assert, he had been at- tempting to embrace Mrs, Marthinson. After the arrest the men were vis- ited by Edward F. Colliday, an attorn- ey. Mr. Colliday later gave a state- ment which alleged that Bliss had at- tempted to break up the home of Mr. } Marthinson throygh the use of hyp- notism. ‘ MARTHINSAN RESIDENCE , WHERE Pook WHERE MEETING “Took FACE: interests in | White, sixty fol- | wanna Se PE.BLISS, IR.

Jackstone tournaments have been the order for the last few weeks in the junior study, and, although the pro- ceedings of the self-government com- mittee are guarded with the darkest secrecy, it is rumored that that august body intends to award a medal to the prowess of Miss Una Logan and Miss Edna Scales, whose skill with jacks is truly remarkable. It is the custom of the juniors to make their sister class, the freshmen, feel at home in the college world, and the class of 1909 accordingly selected the most juvenile diversion their class- ically taught brains could conceive when they invited the class of 1911 to witness a tournament of jacks. At first the girls used to play in caps and gowns, but, as a pretty junior remarked, “the sleeves catch in the jackstones and send the balls bounc- ing across the room, and nobody can make a good scramble when she is all wrapped up in a college gown.” So the classic. mortarboards were by unanimous consent discontinued and the champions were cheered with a perfect frenzy of yells—Greek yells— for the Barnard yell was originally written by Xenophon. Although examinations are decreed i this week by the faculty, the jack- stonic ardor has by no means abated. Sa Ay Ee PRISE cE: aa Nad EB ¢ | SMUGGLING IN THE PHILIPPINES. : | -——_—__——————o— eo -¢ Smuggling in the Philippine Islands is assuming proportions that make it a menace to insular revenues. It will surprise the orderly and law abiding to know that only a few days ago a casco of khaki, smuggled into the country by way of the east coast of Luzon, was floated down Laguna de Bay and the Pasig for distribution in Manila, yet such is the fact. The cloth was dropped on the east coast. somewhere near Baler, lugged across the mountains to a secluded it- let on the lake and boldly brought into Manila. Sleuths of the Government got track of it before it was landed, put there was no way to stop it. There is smuggling too in the north country, but its greatest home is in the Sulu archpelago, with Borneo as its base. There in that back alleyway of the sea it has gone on for ages without Jet or hindrance. Hundreds of swift going vintas are engaged in the illicit trade and heretofore they have carried on the traffic in the light of day. j It has never been anybody's busi- ness to watch them. The trade was good for Borneo and Spanish sover- eighty, sat lightly in the sea of the Dyaks. A month ago when a legis- lative committeé went from Manila to investigate the question it found a hundred boats loading cont?aband on the Borneo coast and, it’stumbled upon a party of ninety Chinese who were coming to the Philippines by thé an- derground, Suppression of the use of opium in the Philippines has made the drug the great prize of smuggling. It has gone (fo a fabulous price in Manila, Iloilo, ' Cebu and other cities and there are riches for the fellow who can run it across the Sulu sea. And there is money in other articles, as witness the innocent khaki .cloth that circled Luzon and came:in by way of the Luguna excursion route. The Govern- ment is planning to meet the Sulu situation by building a fast cutter, but two could do more work than one, and there must later be another for the north coast and later another for the east coast. PICTURESQUE HATS SUMMER SHAPES WILL CONTINUE \THROUGH THE FALL. Will Be Draped with Silk or Colored Chiffon Instead of Net—A Pretty Model in Brown. Many girls to whom the lingerie hats of the summer have been par- ticularly becoming are loath to aban- don these fascinatingly picturesque examples of the milliner‘s art for the stiffer and more conventional head- gear whi¢h is usually shown for early autumn styles. The Charlotte Corday Of Brown Taffeta. shapes, especially those with high crowns and brims which are little drooping, ‘are quite appropriate for wear in town after midsummer is past, and for best occasions will be worn PODER IS LODE NOTE See POOP IIUNTE SON AS BEST CARE OF VEILS. Can Be Cleansed Easily Even When Badly Soiled. If your veil is very much soiled it will not be a difficult matter to bring it back to its original newness. Make a strong lather of white soap, and simmer the veil in it for abont a quar- ter of an hour. Rinse it in cold water carefully with a litile liquid bluing. You can also add perfume to this water. Pass the veil through a thin gum’ arabic water, or water in which rice has been boiled, and clear it by shaking. Pin evenly on a‘linen cloth. When dry lay be- tween a piece of thin muslin and iron on wrong side. ‘To. wash your black veil, pass it through hot water in which a small quantity of ox gall has been mixed, to- gether with some perfume. Squeeze, but do not rub it. Rinse in cold water, putting bluing in the last rinse. Stiffen by dipping in a very thin glue water, made by pouring water on glue. Squeeze and shake out, and dry and iron on the wrong side, the same as the white veil. KITCHEN DONT’S, Don’t rinse laces in blued. water ander a mistaken notion that it will improve the color. It won’t. Rinse in skimmed milk, which will give a soft, creamy tint. Don’t fill an oil or any other kind of stove or lamp when it is lighted. This seems superfluous advice, but with the coming of hot weather cannot be too often repeated. Don’t leave a gas stove with any- thing which may boil over—milk or soup—and extinguish the flame. Be- sides the loss of gas, there is danger ef an explosion. Don’t turn off the gas at the main, unless the taps are all off as well. Don’t light the kitchen fire unless there is water in the boiler. If not, the rush of cold water is liable to crack the boiler. Mending Silk Stockings. Silk stockings are an expensive lux- ury. The first cost is considerable, and they do not stand hard wear. When ‘the’ first stitch breaks their beauty is much impaired, if not ac- tually destroyed. That one tiny break rapidly runs down the length of the stocking, and if not quickly mended the open strip speedily widens and the case is hopeless. The usual way of mending is to sew the raveled edges together with over and over _ stitch. This may ‘stop further raveling, but even with the greatest care there will be a rough seam; very conspicu- ous on the plain part of. the stocking, and most unsightly on any part. A bet- ter way, which only requires patience, | is to pick up the stitches and crochet the edges together with a fine needle and fine silk of the same color. This seam thef will never be noticed by anyone but the wearer, A. Well Ordered Dinner Table. through the autumn. To render these hats a little less summery looking, however, while they still preserve their picturesque effects, they are draped with silk or colored chiffon in- stead of net and mull, and they may be trimmed with ribbon, silk choux, or plumes instead of the floral garniture wiich has been so fashionable during the summer. The illustration shows a hat of this description made of dull finished chif- fon taffeta in brown. The hat is pre- cisely the same shape which has been so popular during the summer. The crown is covered with the silk, while the draperies of the same, as is also the large and dashing trimming at the side. A plaiting of the silk is used around the edge of the hat and be- neath this there is a ruffle of’ coffee- coiored lace. The hat is faced with shirred mousseline de soie in brown of the shade of the silk. A touch of color might wel! be added to this hat if it were meant to be worn with a gown all of one shade the same color in brown. But if the gown is to be of contrasting shades of color then it will not be necessary to have any bright touches in the hat. With a brown gown, for instance, which has a light waistcoat and coral- color trimmings the all. brown hat would be more effective than one with 2 touch of coral in its trimmings. If the hat is to be worn with a tan gown trimmed with brown the all- brown would also be more effective. For general wear, with a variety of different costumes, there is nothing more useful than a hat all in brown either of different shades or in mono- tone. But if the hat is to be worn with a rather dull brown costume, it st to give it a touch of brightness, brown is singularly becoming MISSES’ SHIRT-WAIST SUITS. An Attractive School Gown for the Young Girl. Nothing is more serviceable for the young girl not yet out of the school- room than a jaunty shirt-waist cos- tume which answers all requirements for every-day wear and which is us- ually so becoming to the undeveloped figure. Tobacco-brown mohair has been, used for the one illustrated, which is trimmed with collar and cuffs of tan-colored taffeta silk, and fastened with buttons of similar sifk. The waist is tucked either side of the Pretty School Frock. front, stitched to within a few inches of the bust line, and the back has two wide tucks, stitched from shoulder to waist line. The skirt is a two-piece circular model with an inverted box- plait at the center-back seam, and fitted to the waist line by darts over each hip. For a miss of 15 years the skirt re- quires four yards of material 20 inches wide, 33% yards 27 inches wide, 2% yards 36 inches wide, or two yards 42 inches wide. For a miss of 15 years the skirt re quires 64% yards of material 20 inches wide, 3% yards 36 inches wide, 3% yards 42 inches wide, or 2% yards 54 inches wide.

EYESIGHT WAS IN DANGER From Terrible Eczema—Baby’s Head a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores —Disease Cured by Cuticura. “Our little girl was two months old when she got a rash on her face and within five days her face and head were all one sore. We used different remedies but it got worse instead of better and we thought she would turn blind and that her-ears would fall off. She suffered terribly, and would seratch until the blood came. This went on until she was five months old, then I had her under our family doc- tor’s care, but she continued to grow worse. He said it was eczema. When she was seven months old I started to use the Cuticura Remedies and in two months our baby was a different girl. You could not see a sign of a sore and she was as fair as a new- born baby. She has not had a sign of the eczema since. Mrs. H. F.
