r "? xmm ? New York t'ity. ? Unquestionably 'pony" C0v\t ::s to be a favorite of '<gy//f m th? autumn and this one is as jaunty and chic as well can he. It includes a little vest that allows of many variations and also the favorite and always becoming three-quarter sleeves. In the illustration it is made of chiffon broadcloth with trimming of braid and collar and cuffs of embroidered silk, but it can be utilized for all suiting materials and also for an tnose tnat are appropriate ior me separate jacket, as it fills both needs equally well. For the between-seasons time mohair and silk will be found admirable while for the colder weather broadcloth. Panama cloth and cheviot rll will be in vogue, and the vest and collar can be of heavy lace or velvet or almost any contrasting material that may be V liked. ' The jacket is made 7/ith fronts, side-fronts, backs, side-backs, and double under-arm gores, the many seams meaning perfect and easy fit. The little vest is separate and it attached under the fronts and the collar finishes the neck edge. The sleeves are in one piece each, comfortably full and treated after a quite novel fashion at their lower edges. The quantity of material required for the medium size J- four yards < twenty-seven, two and three-quarter yards forty-four or two and oneeighth yr.rds fifty-two inches wide with five-eighth yard of silk and eight yards of banding. Pipings For Panels. Pipings will outline the panels and other decorative pieces applied to the cloth costume. A refined effect is given by using pipings of the same shade, but an exceedingly smart touch is added with pipings of color ?sometimes more than one color. A favorite idea is a double piping? say a bright red and a black-andwhite, applied, cf course, to a suit of plain color. f Severe Shirt Waists. The new shirt waist suits are exceedingly smart and trim in their linen, are often tailored and have the severe finish that tailored garments eught to have. For street and traveling and business they are especially appropriate and will certainly find favor with American woman. Long Circular Capes. The newest thing is a long, circu- : lar cape reaching quite to the bottom ' of one's dress, finished with a twoInch hem, stitched twice and haviug a auaint little Dutch hood attached, I' \ % w # Canvas Shoes Comfortable. Canvas shoes are very comfortable and coo!, but they certainly make it hard to put on the heavier kid when necessity arises. From a point of economy many persons select a heavy leather, even in summer, but the heavier grade does not always wear better. The wear of a shoe depends a good deal upon its fit, and upon the amount of "stuffing" the wearer indulges in. Hats in Black or Brown. Black in hats is certainly in restored popularity, and white hats are also to be noted. The browns, in tobacco, russet and other tones seem to have peculiar favor, and reds, greens, strong blues, grays and neliotrope are all in evidence in Paris hats that had plaoe in the expositions with which the coming season has been anticipated. Capo Eton. Every cort of light wrap is in vogue this season r.nd the jaunty ?apes that give an Eton effect are among the latest and best liked. This sne is adapted to silk, to chiffon wools, to linen and to cotton equally well. In the illustration it Is made rf pale blue radium silk and matches ihe skirt, the collar being of moire antique of the same shade. The Eton is inude with Ironts, side iionis, buck and side backs, and the cape sleeves that are joined thereto. The neck is finished with a flat roll over collar and the edges meet at th? front to effect the closing. Pretty Shirt Wnist. There has been a pretty style o? shirt waist made with yoke that ran down to the belt in one with a narrow centre panel, and now we are going to nave tnis same design m me natty silk shirt waist suits. A very clever designer has gone a step further and joined the lower edge invisibly with the 3haped girdle. Eunitro Gowns Worn. It is perfectly safe to purchase princesse or Empire gowns now, as it is settled tliat they are to he worn quite as extensively 03 when they first appeared, and they ?.re easily altered, if one tires of the model, by the addition of girdle or other ornamentation. \% UI WilUUt Wraps will be fashioned of cotton and liaea stuffs, with an occasional silk, but later ou they will be duplicated in taffetas, broadcloths, and, la fact, almost any material will lend itseir very adaptably to one or another o? tha different modes. .6 ! APPLE TREES 30 YEARS OLD. f I * I ttf Tnrlione *?+ % I Alley H (.W riuuvru wj iuuiuu.< .... .. Historic Spot in Michigan. Planted by the Indians eighty years ago, when the spot was an Indian reservation and burying ground. ? two apples trees still stand side by side on the bank of the Shiawasse River near Vernon. The trees are now of mammoth size, measuring six and eight feet in r circumference, and notwithstanding their age they are still in healthy condition and bear fruit each year. * ; Near where they stand was located the first settlement made by . white men in Shiawasse County about one hundred years ago. In those early days l.he spot was one of the chief trading points in the lo- , c cality. t It was located on one of the first g trails hereabouts, and, being also 011 t the river bank, was accessible by water. In those days water was used for travel mote than it is now. j5 So large was the business done by Indians and fur traders that in 1840 C a bank was established here. It was n one of the wildcat variety so con- a mon in those days, and issued a c great amount of wildcat currency. q Tradition has it that whils the bgrok was doing a flourishing busi- f ness some of the large holders of its currency became uneasy about the 11 security for the redemptio . of the paper and planned n raid to loot the ^ bank. c The bank ofiicials, hearing of the c plan, took the bank's specie and a buried it near the river. There still r live ia that vicinity some oldtimers r who lfelieve that the money is bur- c ied there yet, and many excavations s have been made in the hope of un- ? covering it. The trend of progress has been c away from this spot, and any one visiting there to-day will find a peace- j ful farming community.?Detrgit t Free Press. P c Seven Rules For Longevity. ^ The following rules for living to r a ripe, old age are given by Mrs. p Henderson in her recently published r volume, The Aristocracy of Health c (Harpers): 1. Study the laws of nature for v health and the remedies of nature } : for cure. j, 2. Avoid all poisons. . r 3. Take abundant exercise in pure ; s air, but always short of fatigue. So i exercise that every portion of the T ;body is equally benefited. As it T takes a strong engine for a long jour- c ney, cultivate lung-power by slow, a deep-breathing exercises. c 4. Eat only the amount of food t i that nature needs, and study what t; to eat from a scientific point of \ view. t 5. Cultivate normal sleep. Live 1 and sleep only in rooms that are well sunned, well ventilated, and not over- t heated. t 6. Cultivate the habit of work in fc connection with some worthy ambi- c tion, for healthy eiercise of body 1 and mind is as strengthening as re- c pose, and should balancc it. Work j3 while you work and rest while you rest, avoiding all worry. Make your- * self useful to the world, and feel j, that you have a mission in it. t 7. Avoid all environments, the t worst of which is the friend who en- c courages you to poison yourself. ' ; ' Science and Manufacture. * In the Zeiss glas3 works at Jena fourteen doctors of science are em- j ployed, and these include mathema- i ticians as well# as physicists.

At one of them, for instance, fifty-five scientific and * thirty-one technical chemists are en- ? gaged; at a second 145 scientific chemists and 175 technologists; ai j a third 148 scientific chemists for t ;eventy-five technicists. The re- v search laboratories of these works t ire lavishly equipped; one of them 0 possesses a library of 14,000 vol- * umes; a second spends 150,00? r Cranc3 a year on glassware.

The biddin- is not limiled lo Amer- j :an contractors. All proposals are | o be in before noon of December 12, | i^hen they will be opened. Prdposal3 ,re to be expressed in terms of perentage upon the estimated cost of onstruction, which is to be fixed by , board of five engineers, three repesenting the Government and two epresenting the contractor. Thj hief engineer of the Canal Commision is to be chairman of the efi;ineering board. The engineering board will also stimate a reasonable time for the..f.' ompletion of the canal, and will gree upon a system of premiums and ienalties to be paid to or by the conractor, according as the work is competed within or beyond the estimated Oot and time. All the Government plant for acual construction work, including the ailway, is to be lacc" at the disiosal of the contractor and is to be oaintained by the Government. The ontrac; specifies that the commission s to retain control of all engineering I'ork in connection with the conduction of the canal; also all municpal engineering, the police, sanitary, lospital and commissary departnents, mess houses, quarters, conduction and maintenance of buildngs, operation of the Panama Railvay, an auditing department, to vhich contractors' accounts are to be ipen, and a department of materials ind supplies. Sixty days after the signing of the ontract actual work is to begin on he Isthmus, and the contractor is to alee over all employes on the Isthmus vhich the commission does not wish o retain. - No American employe is o work more than eight hours. Chairman Shonts defends the perentage system of payment in a letter o Secretary Taft, as follows: "This ilan is being employed increasingly ?y the oldest, largest and most sucessful corporations in the country, 'he Government will get the benefit if the combined efforts of the best ,nd most experienced contractors in he world, each in charge of a delartment in which he is a specialist .nd co-operating with other special3ts. The Government will secure he co-operation of these powerful inerests in keeping mechanics of all lasses. "The plans offer every incentive or speedy and economical construcion by penalizing extra time and cost ,nd rewarding better than contract lerformance as to either. By retainng control of the work and exercisng strict supervision through its en;insering force the Government will irotect itself against cheap or faulty onstruction. "The time and cost of completing he canal as estimated, will in all robability be reduced by the applicaion of new principles which will be iscovered as the work progresses. Anally, a termination of the conract, should it become necessary, ^ ?-ould be less disastrous to the con.?# ? ractor, while an effective resumption f the work would be made easier o the Government, owing to Its close elations thereto."

Va.?Frederick Cowan and his seventeen-year-old bride were killed by an angry bull just after leaving the home of the minister. They were hurrying across an open pasture to the railway station, when the animal was attracted by a bright red dress which the bride wore. Tne infuriated beast charged the couple. Cowan fought valiantly for his life and that of his wife, but .'the sharp horns tore into hi3 side and felled him to the earth, after which he was trampled to death. The young woman had been too frightened to move and the bull then turned his attention to the small bundle of red which had first maddened him. He tossed her over a barbed wire fence and she died in a few hours. The couple had been marled after eloping against the wishes of their parents. FATALLY GORED BY A BULL. * Captain Wisner, of Middietomi, a War Hero, Dies of Injuries. Middletown, N. Y.?Captain Lewis S.

Captain Wisner was a lover of high bred stock and owned*some of the finest cattle in the country. 'Among them was an Alderney bulL which he prized highly. He entered the box stall in which the bull was kept and the animal picked him up on its horn and threw him over its back. He crawled to the house and was put to bed. The bull's horns penetrated the thighs and blood poisoning set in. Mr. Wisner was Captain of Company K, 124th New York Volunteers, in the Civil War. He enlisted as a private. Congress awarded him a medal for bravery. Captain Wisner's great-great-grandfather was a delegate to the first, second and third Continental Congresses.

HIGHER WAGES ARE DEMANDED I Mill Workers Storm a Hill to Drive Out Non-Union Men and a Fierce RntHn TTncnr?c_"NT anu IVAiinrlpH on 2oth Sides. Buckingham, Quebec. ? Two men wore killed and a dozen wounded in a conflict between striking mill hands i and Provincial' police . at the MacLaren Company's sawmills here. The rigorous measures taken by tho authorities to quell the riotous strikers has had a telling effect, and no further trouble is expected. The men killed were President Belanger, of the Mill Workers' Union, and leader of the strikers, aud Xavier Tehrieu, a mill hand. Five of the wounded men ara in a serious condition. The strike at the mills began September 15. The announcement made that the mill owners would import labor and start the mill3 put the men in a desperate frame of mind. A meeting was called at which incendiary speeches were made. About i the middle of the afternoon the men decided to clear out the strike-breakers. A mob of 200 men armed with revolvers and other weapons rushed up the hill leading to the mill. The mill 1 owners, who had looked for violence, had-posted forty detectives and spe< cial policemen on the outskirts of their property. There was no parlftvine. Thf> first rush nf thp strikers was met by a volley from the revolv1 era in the hands of the police. Be1 langer, who was leading the mob, fell ' at the first volley with two bullets in his head. He died where he fell. The strikers sought shelter and opened fire on the police, many of whom were hit. Alexander and Albert MacLean, members of the firm, fought beside the police. A desultory fusillade was kept up for fifteen minutes, the strikers standing their ground and the police remaining behind their hastily constructed barricades. It was apparently by mutual consent that hostilities were suspend| ed while both sides removed their wounded. As there appeared to be a likell! hood of a renewal of the trouble an appeal was sent to Ottawa for troops. They arrived and went into camp near the lumber yards. j The strikers declare they will elect another leader and continue the strike. Their former wages of $1.25 . a day, they declare; will not keep , them and their families alive. The MacLaren Company, which is one of | the largest lumber concerns in Can. ada,. is equally determined not to give in to the strikers. SEVERAL NEGROES LYNCHED. . !
