THE PUBLIC CALLED ON TO PAY. The coal operators took frequent occasion to inform the public during the progress of the strike that they ‘were making their fight for “principle.” The questions at issue being now before an Arbitration Commission for adjudication and so disposed of, “principle” takes a much-needed rest while considerations of profit engage their attention. President Baer yesterday directed his company's gen- Gone to the company's property during the strike by fdleness and direct injury has been paid for, The other oa! companies are to follow his initiative. They, too, twill ask the public to pay the bill. And a big bill it is. The first instalment, to be paid to-day, will amount to $80,000—half a dollar a ton on the 160,000 tons of output since the resumption of work. #rom to-morrow on this dally toll for “principle” will mount to $50,000 or more until by the time real winter @rrives the luckless consumer will have been mulcted wo fhe extent of millions. The luckless consumer! He catches it a-comin’ and bloodshed, always {n his pocket. Perhaps he is fortu- wate in this Instance (hat bis Joss Is only financial, UNLIKE OTHER RAIDS. ‘Whether or not "Jimmy" Wakeley’s Forty-second (street pool-room was raided Thursday night fs a ques- tion of veracity between the District-Attorney and the precinct police. Mr. Jerome says the place was raided and arrests made. The police deny it. The circumstantial evidence leaves us greatly in @oubt which statement to believe. On the one hand, the @oor of Wakeley’s place is still on its hinges, there are no dents of an axe in it, nor has amy one in the neigh- borhood heard the sound of an axe breaking in. On the other hand, a jupunned tin box serving In lieu of a safe has been opened and its contents nbstracted. Which of these elements of evidence is the stronger it is left to the public to decide, A JUDGE'S MUSIC SCHOOL, Justice Truax's court-room has been for some days past a conservatory of music wherein maestros and musikanten of high standing have given most valuable rai sales agents to “add to the circular price 50 cents’ por ton,” this higher price to continue till the damage | ( @-goin’ when great princ!ples are at stake, sometimes in| ‘ DOSS 99-9900000000F — 90990006006 090909006 60 DBNODOOOS ooo S888 Anstruction free of charge. They have testified in rela- tion to the Musical Courler’s allegations that some of Victor Herbert's operas show evidences of plagiarism, The Courier's critic, Herr Blumenberg, was very {l- Juminating yesterduy in his description of a modern composer's processes. According to Herr Blumenberg Herbert's “President's Mare! composed in 1898, em- bodied the theme of Garnert's “Clio March,” published in 1891. In his “Serenade” the waltz theme was taken from a disreputable song which had vogue some seven years ago, and In his “Singing Girl” there {s a har- montous progression abstracted from Faure's “The Palms.” Well, granting that these allegations are true, it may ‘be said thas there are some who like mosaic music. It fliatters thom to recall a motif here, a theme there in the popular musical comedy of the moment. They are the plums in the pudding. When sweet straing thus fall femiliarly on the ear they ravish it with a sense of dim gemembered harmony. Such listeners sometimes wish the “composer” would ein oftener on the lines alleged hadast Herbert. COLUMBIA’S GOOD FORTUNE. Columbia profits to the extent of $500,000 by the fmique bit of sentiment which has led John D. Rockefel- Jer to offer to contribute that sum to the Teachers’ Col- lege at the University “as a thank offering to Almighty God" for the preservation of his family and household on the occasion of the destruction by fire of his country home at Pocantico Hills, N. Y., on the night of Sept, 17, 1902. Unique, that is for modern times. The deep religious feeling which has prompted the gift used of old to find similar expression frequently. In this instance it will accomplish a most commendable object. RAILROAD FATALITIES. It {s pointed out rhat the number of deaths in the British forces in South Africa during three years of war, 22,000, exceeds by less than 200 the number of fatalities on American railways during the same time. The figures present a terrible indictment of our rush methods of transportation and cheap estimate of human life. Carclessness, the taking of chances and the theory that safety must be sacrificed to speed to please the pas- Benger are mainly responsible for this grave debit of death. And the attitude of the president and director 4s that of the Pittsfield motorman in the trolley collision with the President's carriage: They “had the right of way” and if something had to give it was not their fault. THE COLONEL’S TID-BIT. To Col. Thomas P. Ochiltree, gastronome, bon vivant, now a little under the weather and on a milk and vichy diet, came a messenger yesterday bearing a tempting dish smoking hot from Clarence Mackay's table.

Any flat-dweller would recognize his hope of a happy hibernation this or any other winter in a city flat as the Utopianest of all Utopian dreams, landlord and the janitor never worry, as Mr. Powers shows in his picture; they spuply the tenants with so much of that sort of thing that there is none left over for anybody else, The best thing Mark can do in his present coalless circumstances is to cheer up and oil a few bricks, “That boy never follows me around the links.

IDEAS IN EVENING GOWNS. Many of the loveliest party and dinner gowns this fall are of binck, but white (pure white in the blonde and cream olog for the Drupetia) 1a certains th most chic. Lace will be the most popu- lar in both black and white for evening wear, and the woman who has lald away her tace dress waiting for the weventh year, when “fashion répeats itself,’ can take it out and have it suc- cessfully remodelled, by adding silk, molres, velvet or new face in the same tone, or have it dyed any shade (If of white lace) of pale blue ecru and gray. Black lace that shows slgne of gray- ness and wear can be freshened by drawing through black ink in which a Uttle sugar has been dissolved. ‘The sugar will stiffen the lace sufficiently and is preferable to gum arabic. In pressing be sure to lay thin cloth be- tween the lace and a moderately hot fron, or one elde will have a gloss which will show through end thus ruin the ap- pearance. THE DECOLLETTE BLOUSE. ‘The most popular way of making {s the simple decollete blouse, fastening in the back, elbow sleeves, from which cascades of lace or chiffon hang at the back, and @ clinging skirt with deep frou-frou thet falls in a long train. While this design 1s frequently of the most rigid simplicity it also permits of extravagant and various modes of trimming. For limited purses China silk, often purchased at 85 cen'a @ yard, uun’s veiling, or even cotton crepes, are most effective. Take for in- stance this model in any of these ma- terials, transparent yokes of lace, or It preferred decollete, drape a scart of soft chiffon or lace about the shoulders, allowing the ends to fall gracefully In front or over one shoulder, and you will be surprised how pretty and chic it will be.

Santa Barbara county !s naturally divided tnto @ northern and a southern half by @ range of rugged mountains varying from 2,000 to 4,000 feet high, says the San Francisco Chron- fole. The city of Santa Barbara, Montecito and other health resorts are along the cost in the southern half. Los Alamos is near the middlo of the great valleys comprising moat of the northern part of the county, and ts about sixty mfles from the city of Santa Barbera, with a big mountain rango intervening. For many years there has been a small active volcano on the Los Alamos side of the mountain. It is almost within sight of the old Los Alamos-Ganta Barbara stage road that crosses the mountain by the Gan Marcos pass. Gunters and caftlemen of the vicinity and prospectors are familiar with it. Smoke end steam qponstantly issue from various fissures along the summit of a plateau or ehelf near the northern slope of the mountain, MORE OF DIOGENES.
