Chicago Church Has Supply of Them for Parishioners. Chicago. July 26.—“Praying caps,” a recent departure in feminina headgear, are the outgrowth of the recent hot weather in Chicago. Should warm weather return, they may be seen upon ths heads of women in the Church of the Redeemer, 56th street and Wash- ington avenue. The new millinery is the outgrowth of the custom of women 10 go about in hot weather without a head covering. Ths women attending rervices at the churches, however, s that they were violating the church rule which prohibits a womin from entering without a head covering. So tha women got together and devised the “praying caps.” They are small circular caps of black that mearcely can be seen when perched on top of the head of a dark-haired wom- iighter colored ones will ba made for the blonde women who do mot care to wear comspicuous black headgedr. A supply of the caps has been placed juct inside the entrance of the churcn and any woman who desires to attend services matless may do $o in the iture without fear of violating church LAW TO REGULATE SALE OF ICE CREAM 55,000,000 Bacte: —H.If-apflmfin’ Purchased in Boston’s North End.

Lynn, Mass,, July 26.—Supposed to have been ground to death beneath a freight train at Newburyport, and to have been twice buried, once in a pot- ter's field and again in Swampscott, and to have been so positively dead that his insurance policies were paid by the companies, Raymond Smith walked into his former boarding house in this city last night, dressed in his best clothes, and affirmed emphatically like Mark Twain that all reports of Smith did not know ‘anything about his death until today, when he met some former friends on the streets of Manchester, N. H. These friends, Mr. and Mrs. Jas, P. Sutcliffe of Swamps- cott, were overwhelmed when they saw Smith, whese funeral they thought they had attended earlier in the month but their amazement was not to be compared with that of Smith’s when told the news about himself. He was so anxious to show the folks at home that he was not dead, that he hurried to his lodgings, dressed himself in his best clothes and caught the next train to Lynn. He soon con- vinced everybody that he was very much alive. The misunderstanding about Smith's existence began on June 9 at New- buryport! On that day an unidentified man was crushed under a Boston & Maine freight train in that city. Aft- er the body had been in the morgue a few days it was buried in the pot- ter's field. A week or two afterward Mrs. Annie M, Hart of this city iden- tified the portrait of the dead man as that of her nephew, Raymond Smith, aged 13 vears. Identification was dif- ficuit, because of the body's mutilation, but it seemed reasonably sure be- cause of the certain peculjar marks on the face. The body was then ex- humed and reburied in the family lot at_Swampscott. Smith said that he had heard noth- ing about his death, for he had been at work on a farm and seldom read the papers. He promised that in the future he would read the news and keep track of himself. MUST FURNISH $50,000 BOND TO NEW HAVEN ROAD. Southern New England Must Indem- nify It Against Loss. Providence, R.

The bond is to be filed on efore Aug. 5. The injunction restrains the New Haven road from proceeding with the construction_of its proposed freight houses at Woonsocket, which, ths Grand Trunk claims, are for the pur- pose of blocking the new road’s entry into this state. The injunction will be | effective until Sept. 16, when a hearing | will be given in the superior court to | determine whether the land is neces- sary to the Grand Trunk or to the New Haven, ANOTHER MEMBER OF WIRE TRUST OFFERS PLEA. Philip S. Dyer Appeared in Court to Take His Medicine. New York, July 26.—Altheugh it had been said that the example set by 37 of the 83 indicted men in the case of the government against the allaged | wire trust in changing pleas of “not guilty” to “nolo contendere,” and ac cepting fines vesterday would be fol- lowed promptly by a number of the others accused, only ons came forward to do this today. This was Philip S. Dyer, secretary and treasurer of the American Horse- shoe company, who appeared in the | United States district court with his attorney prepared to enter a plea of “nolo contendere.” Judge Archbald, however, was engaged in a counterfeit case and was not prepared to accept the plea.

FOR RECONSIDERATION OF TROLLEY SEARCHLIGHT BILL Senator Mahan Makes Effort, and Matter Is Still Before Senate. Hartford, July 26.—Afternoon ses- sions of the ‘legislature are not in favor with the members, even though adjournment set by the senate for to- morrow is probably many weeks awa; After the senate recessed, the bill for direct primaries was to have come up, this mneasure having been in hand just as recess was taken, over the protest of Senator Halloran of New Britain, who thought direct primary legisla- tion was of more importance than the taking of a portraiture of the senate. But the senators desired to look pleas- ant when they had their pictures tgk- en and would not risk ruffled feelings which might have followed a debate his death were greatly exaggerated. lof primary nominations and the choice of candidates by pefition. Senator Judson, who stands alone on this measure, secured substitution of his minority report for that of the ma- majority of the judiciary committee, which was unfavorable.. When the senator looked around and“ound that only a baker's dozen of senators had survived the picture taking and lunch- eon, he had the matter put over until tomorrow. Many senators who had left, paired, leaving the impression strong the bill would have enough supporters to pass it in an amended form. The bill carries a referendum clause and the voters in town meeting this fall would have a chance of vote upon A majority of the vote in the state would make it a law and the towns and cities have the option of adopt- ing this form of party nomination. ny senators, informally discuss- ing’the bill, have said that at the pres- ent time voters in towns in effect make direct nominations so_that the Dbill would not appeal to members from towns and the bill would be of more direct interest to city voters. Senator Mahan tried to have re- consideration of the trolley search- light bill, passed vesterday, but in the effort to end the senate session on the part of Senator Woodruff, who finally demanded a count to secure his end, the motion to reconsider was tabled, preserving to Senator Mahan his rights, and keeps the bill before the senate. Then the senate was declared ad- journed for want of a quorum. The house meantime had adjourned in diso>der on the point of a no_quo- rum. After the vote by which Hart- ford's compensating reservoir plan was carried in concurrence, members drifted out of the chamber by the dozen. On a motion to indefinitely postpone the bill to prohibit the car- rying ‘of rifles in the open air without a permit, Representative Isbell, who was ‘in_the chair, declared the housé adjourned for lack of a quorum. Mem- bers rushed down the aisle to the speaker’s desk, demanding a count of the house, There was confusion, but the adjournment stood. There are some members who are anxions to get through business and they try to stave off a count, but time and time again they lose.

RICHER BLOOD IN HIGH ALTITUDES. Conclusion of Medical Men at Summit of Pike's Peak. ) Colorado Springs, Col., July 26.—A group of international medical scien- | tists who are studying the effect upon | human beings of high altitudes at the summit of Pike’s Peak, 14,147 feet above the sea level, have arrived at some interesting conclusions. Among them are: That red corpuscles in the blood are 40 per cent. greater at that altitude than at sea level. This is an indica- tion of purer blood. That lack of oxygen in the atmo- sphere at high altitudes is the primary cause of all mountain sickness. That the blood of persons living in high altitudes is much richer and therefors much more capable of re- sisting disease germs than the blood of persons living at sea level. Drs. J. A.
