C, when the bureau had pre- dicted raln. He says that contrary to widely published comments the decision | clearly stated that where the storm warn- |ingo are brought to the attention of ves- |sel masters, it is their duty to take cog- | nizance and observe them, though the court |sald the ordinary predictions of rain, snow and modorate change of temperatures are |less reliable than almost anything of which the gemeral public is expected to |take cognizance. Frof. Moore contends that the decision was a commendation instead of a condemnation of storm warnings. The bureau, he says, considers that one out f overy five forecasts of precipitation has falled of verification, while there has not | been a destructive marine storm anywhere In the United States In ever six years that was not preceded by the danger warn- | ings, or a severe cold wave of which farm- ors were not given timely warning.

AN INDUSTRY REVIVED, | Button Fad s Put Bread Into the Mouths of Hundred A woman's fad s responsible for the preservation of the art of making brass but- tons, an art that was fast falling into decay and threatened to become lost to man. A generation ago, when brass buttons were worn so extensively, there was In Connectl- cut, where most of them were made, an army of men and women skilled, spectively, as hand burnishers and chasers. The men, using tools polnted with a very hard stone imported from England and known as burnishing stones, gave to the Pbrass buttons, alrcady shaped and gllded, a polish like that of gold. ' Young women with deft touch chased on the highly polished surface dainty traceries of conven- tlonal korts, the result being very showy buttone. These have been missing from the markets for about twenty-five years, and the art of making them has been almost forgotten. A few women found employ- ment as chasers in the works of the silvers plated goods manufactories in and around Waterbury, Meriden and Hartford, but there was no place for button chasers. Expert button burnishers of the old days have about all gone from this earth. Now that the demand for the old fashion has come agaln, the button factories in Waters bury, where most of these ornaments are made, have had to teach a new lot of work- ers the well-nigh lost arts of both chasing and burnishing. A recent visitor to “the brass city” to seo about securlng a lot of the fashionable buttons said the demand for workers had brought to the busy factories there a lot of gray-haired men and women whose tactory working days had long since passed. They had to be pressed into service at fancy prices to supply the demand for such workers as were needed and to teach young men and women the tricks of the trade. So very fickle 18 fashion as to the minor detalls of dress that manufacturers there bave to face a new problem—whether It is worth while to teach chasing and burnishing to young hands or to temporarily rob the sllver workers and goldsmiths of their help at fancy prices to cater to the passing cr . Should the button craze die out there would be uno use for the newly trained help. If it lasts there will be need for all the help that can be obtalned. So the manufacturers are between the devil and the deep sea, waiting for some decision by the leaders of the monde as to whether brass and gilt are to continue as fashionable adornments. n Flend in the Tolls, D, Ky ~Willlam Gibson, with burning his 2-year-old ker. is un- Ha ASHIL/ wh 18 Charg stopdaughter to death with a p doubtedly cuptured and It 18 8ald the off- cers hi given up the chase.

The officer lay back In his chalr and breathed heavily, “Let me tell you of one case that we disposed of only ten minutes ago,” he con- tinued, “There was a young Russian Jew who worked for a mcrchant down town.

This falth, 1t was belleved, was revealed to Ga-ni-o- dl-yu in several trance dreams by the Oreat Spirit. By this intruslon upon the old-time religlon Ga-i-o-di-yu incurred the anger of his half-brother, who eventually drove him and his followers from the Alleghany reservation, and among (hose who followed him In his flight was Willlam Parker. The mother of Willlam Parker, the great- great-great paternal grandmother of Miss Parker, was concerned n one of the Indian romances previous to the revolutionary war. A party of the Senecas captured a young white woman of the Slocum family, who be- came as one of them. Durlng a treaty trip to Fort Niagara she met a titled French officer, whe, infatuated with her beauty, clandestinely took her as his wite. Enraged at this alliance the Indians stole her from her husband, who was afterward killed in battle, and returned her to thelr camp, where her daughter, the child of the Frenchman, was afterward born. As soon as possible after the birth of this child the mother escaped from captivity, taking the daughter with her. She was overtaken by the Indians, the child was taken from her and one of her captors escorted her to her relatives near Philadelphla. This child, reared by the Senecas and not knowing her parentage, was eventually married to an Indlan chief and from her descended the Parker family, who, In each of the sug- coeding generations, have been distin- gulshed among their people. The great-grandfather of Miss Parker, Willlam Parker, a volunteer in the Ameri can army during the war of 1812, was serlously wounded at the battle of Chip- pewa. Her grandfather, Nicholson Parker, was a graluate of a collexe at Albany. | Her great-uncle, General Ely 8. Parker, the foremost Indian of his generation, was the military secretary of General Grant during | the civil war. The father of Miss Parker 18 now in the trelght auditor's department of the New York Central railroad. Her mother Is a white woman of Scoteh descent. Her brother, Arthur Parker, having been as- soclated with the New York Central for a time, 18 now in the Dickinson seminary at Willlamsport, Pa., preparing for a college course betore entering the church as n clergyman of the Methodist faith. Her paternal umcle, Sherman Parker, was ad- mitted to Hamilton college when 18 years of age. Miss Parker was graduated from a com- merclal college. She is 19 years old. BELTED MELLES. a Artistlo Combinations of Gold and Chenille Catch the Eye. The deep deliberation and high artistic effort that we lavished last year on our collars has been diverted this season to the production of countless varieties of belts. Last spring the black eatin pulley girdle found a limitiess number of advo- cates, but the pulley belt only started the ball to rolling, while the introduction of ribbon tags and chenille and gold brald has almost capped the climax. No woman believes she can worry through the winter on fewer than ten belts, and not only must she have belts for her waist, but belts for her arms. The pulley girdle as a mechanical device of the first order still holds good, but in- stead of two ribbons only knotting in front | there are dozens of ends falling from that | point where the rings meet and every end s completed by a gold ball, tag or deco- | rative filigree ferret. The belt itself 1s not | plain black satin, but & combination of colors and ornamental schemes. For in- stance, the center of the walstband, which Is always widest in the back, tapering gradually to the ends in front, is made of and then both edges completed with gold | galloon, or the middle portion of the belt 18 of stitched taffeta and its edges are em- broidered in gold. Where the gold rings are pulled together black satin ribbons are used, and sometimes, in place of the DYSPEPSIA.
