M" PAUL 6ILM0RE ^??RJQIhl?n N.EW Y?ftK $ ^:p.R&D't Gtl.?N.^;;i:; ?llliiiiiil BACHELOR HERE SATURDAY. OUR WASHINGTON <From our Special Correspondent, Frank Fuller.) This haB been a busy week in the -national capital and yet but little has been done in the way of public business. It has become a settled apollcy of Congress to do nothing un rtll after the holidays, as bo many members go home at that season. The President's message was about as expected, and therefore caused but little comment. Upon the invitation of Secretary Wilson the eleven beet growers of corn in the country, chosen from 11 different Southern States, will be bis guests in Wa shington next week. These leaders-oC the nation's farm ers are mere boys, tne winners in a corn growing contest which has been going on in almost every Southern State since last spring. The eleven lads won out in competition with no .less than 46,255 otnerB. Each of these boys last summer raised an acre of com, this was sent to the county fairs and the prize winners sent to the state fairs in the eleven - spates, and the winners in the state contests have been picked and will come to Washington as Secretary Wilson's guests for a week, and they will have the time cf their lives. ?.These boys range in age from 10 to 16 years of a?e, and will come from 'Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, Tennes see, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, 'Georgia, South Carolina and North -^Carolina and Virginia. The contest ?was instituted by the Agricultural Department in a campaign to in crease the corn crop of the South and" this year this section contribu ted nearly one-third of the nation's ? corn crop. One of those boys raised 228 busbels per acre, while most of the prize winners run over 200 bush ? els. where the average yield has been about 25 bushels per acre. The names of these boys will be given next' week. The War Department records show that of the 4,3 !i0 commissioned offi cers on the active list of the regular army only seven served during the -Civil War, otherwise than as cadets, these are Genln. Earl D. Thomas, <3has. L. Hodges, Danl. H. Brush, Geo. R. Davis, Col. Jno. L. Clem, Jas. N. Allison and Maj. Danl. B. Arnold. There were 1,022 officers on the retired list Oct. 15, 1910. Or these 528 served in the army, otber ' -wise than as cadets, prior to April 9,'1865. In this list' are five lieu tenant generals, twenty-four major generals and 229 brigadier generals. . A poll has been taken of the Dem ocratic Congressmen elect and it dis closes that Champ Clark has a suf ficient number of votes to elect him Speaker on the first ballot, and now that this is settled the next impor tant ouestlon will be who are to have the House offices. The "lame duck" brigade of Democrats Is not large, therefore there are but few to be taken care of or to ask favors or ?sympathy. Mr. Livingston of Geor gia, fell by thii wayside because of too much Cannonism, and now asks ' his former colleagues to keep him here for the ne:<t two years as door keeper or clerk, and he Is likely to fee thus favored, as he seems to be Eiore popular h?re than in his home district, where he failed of nomina tion.

Mine Discovered by Mexican Netted Him Sl??.uuo.ootf In Six Years. The famous Paimlllo mine near Parral. State jot Cblhuahua. Mexico, *bich produced for its owner Pedro Aivarado. S150.ouo.0o0 in six years, has passed 'nto the bands of Ameri cans. . Up to the time the American min ing engineers were admitted to tbe PalmUlo mine it was a complete mys tery tc mining men. Aivarado would never permit any one except his Mexican laborers to go into it un til he reached a decision to lease iL j It Is-the opinion of mining ex pert.? here that Aivarado will obtain greater profits from the wonderful mine by leasing it than he did while operating It himself It Is said he paid, no attention to the science of mining in taking out the ore, and that vast bodies of ore of great rich ness are still untouched. Under his methods It cost ?18 per ton- to mine, transport and treat the oresi. It Is shown by recent test* .that this cost can be cut down almost one-half, and that the ore la ideal foi cyanide treatment. The lessees are Installing the most modern machinery, and the mine is to be equipped so as to increase its production to the fullest limit. Under the terms of the lease Aiva rado is to received 45 per cent of the net profits of the mine. He also re ceived a cash payment of $100,000 when the lease, went into effect. Aivarado. who only a few years ago, was a peon wt > king in the mines for thlrty-flve cents a day. Is prepar ing to enjoy his millions.of dollars of wealth which the Palualllo brought him. He has planned to do a great deal of charitable work, such as pro viding homes for tbe poor, building and endowing schools, and erecting cburcb edifices. He has contributed hundredn of thousands of dollars to the poor people of Parral during the last few years. He erected u Cath olic church here at a cost of $200. 000. He will soon visit the City of Mexico, for the purpose of investi gating the condition of the poorer classes there. He contemplates establishing a great industrial scbool in that city, where tbe children of the poor will be taught trades of various kinds and trained in industries and given knowledge of a practical kind. The marble place which Aivarado elected here a Tew years ago In 6ald to have cost $2.000,000. it is lo cated on the bank of the Parral riv er, and beyond tht wealth of carv ing which the exterior stones bear does not have a gaudy appearance from tbe outside. The wide stairway which leads to the upper floor is of onyx; gold and silver ornaments are to be seen od every hand. A large room of tbe palace is fitted up as a chapel and thn altar is of solid gold. In every room It a piano, and in cages ranged along the balls are hundreds of canan i/lrds. Tbe story 1b told that Aivarado keeps many, millions of dollars of his wealth in cash stored in a big steel vault or cage In the basement of nis residence. It is known he never comes into Parral without bringing * lurge sum of money #hicb he dis tributes among the needy poor peo ple. He is only thirty-eight years old. It Is Iiis ambition to visit the United States and Europe, and now that be ta? the active management of the famous .?almillo mines off bis bands, ' it Is probable that he will soon car ry out his desire for extensive travel.

How they saturated themselves wi:h rweet waters in those old.- old days! we read of a very or^y of perfume in the time of Cartherine de Medici, and learn that the men then were &b prone to its use in profusion as were vhe women. One great king perfumed himself with amber from head to foot, aud ?.?very article of attire was scented. The great Napoleon used floods; of eau de cologne every morning, and the Empress Josephine filled her dressing room with musk in all Eorts of forms. Today It fs the scent fountain and the vaporizer that are in great re quest. With the vaporizer the lady's I maid scents her mistress before s?e leaves her room in the morning and after she has taken the perfumed bath. The excessive use of sachets at tached to the costume is becoming less modish than it was; there must oaly be an atmosphere, a mere sug gestion of scent, Instead of a definite aroma about clothes. In order to per fume them the wardrobe has its long Sat sachet of scented powder to fit each Ehelf. When the boots and shoes are put away little sachets are introduced in to them; the lace and ribhon drawer has its snchets also, and the only ones that need be worn by day are those sewn into the corset and into the dainty cap of muslin and lace in which the belle takes her early cup of tea or her basin of bread and milk the last thing at night When the hair is washed1 -It is pleas ant to use a Bcent that shall help to perfume the tresses, "a permiwiable way of perfuming the person allowed under the regime of modern taste. The hairdressers of Paris are now using eucalyptvp leaves steeped 5n boiling water for the shampoo used for their customers' uair, and dud that it makes. the hair glossy as we.U as fragrant. Eveij day seems to introdu.? new and coquettish developments of the scent craze. A famou.-. perfumer of lingerie tempts her customers with handkerchiefs;, motor veils, shoulder scurfs and lingerie threaied with rib boas the color of the scent thai Is her customer's choice. Supposing the favorite violet per* fum? be associated with the elegante, her lingerie is threaded v.-iih violet ribbons, and she wears violet hand* kerchief, violet motor scarfs and other violet <al-lals. If rose is prefen ed, it is a rose pow der that is supplied, and to carry the I idea to its utmost limit all the deco rations of the belle's dressing room will be in shades of pink, viiiie: the pretty little lace boxes, gem cabinets ar:d all her toilet table fittings repeat her choice in brocade, crystal and china. Eer writing table is of course sup plied with perfumed leather, and Ene scents her stationary in order that it may be Impressed with her personality as made manifest by her usexOf one particular perfume. It Is a charming idea in daintiness.?London Daily WaiL ' Bride Attendants. Bride attendants should be dressed in harmony with the bridal frock, yet nothing more elaborate or expensive All gov/m; should form a setting foi ? he one gown of importance. Once :n a while we hear of a color scheme, tiut usually the bride prefers a white A.-dding, for which reason all attend ants of her party are gowned in white. There are tpleadid white batistes, em broidered batlsteB, nets and countless sheer materials for the purpose. At present the plain i.ock, with shoulder ?..j:3, overtkirt and fancy yoke and :.':ng eleeve eliect is considered a be ?omlr.g style. The wearing of hats is optional: A bride should always wear ;.;!ovct;; so should her attendants; and 'his may .occur when there la a home fi'ecdlhg without hats being worn, rha attendants may wear hats if they choose, but not unless the bride is veiled. There are a few persons who nlT.ays use individual taste in such matters, regardless of any decree of faelton. If the wedding frock for: ihe home wedding is not yet made, save either a jacket suit or a oue 'dece sheer gown, and attendants j bronld be gowned accordingly. Da not j wear a dress skirt and fancy blouse j of similar material, even though both are strikingly beautiful, for this Is a ne-piece dress year and the blouse ifc intended more for afternoon weai vrith fancy jacket suit Apricct Candy Sandwiches. Stew a half pound o!! apricots and use the juice for making candy. To two cups of juice add two cups of s-.jgar and boil until it makes a soft candy. When pound into a buttered dish, sprinkle a pinch of cream of lartar over the taffy and beat until it forms a li?bt fondant In the meantime, crush the cooked fruit, mix it with pulverized sti^ar and ground nuts. Spread this over the candy and cut into pieces one inch wide ar.d six inches long Fold each hi rip from end to end, making the sardwich. If the candy hardens too quickly to du this, then lay pieces together. This makes a very delicate apricot candy.
