BANK OFFICERS KEPT ALERT
Crooks Have Many Cunning and Dar
ing Ways of Gaining Entrance
to Strong Rooms.
What banks fear is not so much a
burglar’s gaining access to their prem
ises by forcing doors, but by tunneling
and other equally cunning and daring
methods, the Strand says. A few
years ago a cashier in one of the na
tional banks of the United States, in
New Mexico, was busy at work one
evening in the office when his quick
ear detected some curious sounds.
They seemed to proceed from a sub
terranean region; and he was not long
in concluding that robbers must be
tunneling from an adjoining building
to the vault in the bank.
Guards were immediately posted in
and around the building. Soon they
observed the masonry of the bank
giving away. Meantime the robbers
appeared to be hard at work and quite
unaware that they were being
watched. At one o'clock in the morn
ing a Mexican volunteered to desoend
into the bank cellar so as to discover
the actual situation. Scarcely had he
gone a few paces down the stairs than
he met some one coming up. The
Mexican fired without saying a word
and shot the man dead. It was ob
served that he was one of the ma
sons who had built the bank and
therefore was acquainted with its vul
nerable points. The report of fire
arms alarmed his accomplices, foi
they fled and escaped. The tunnel
gave evidence of long and patient
work on the part of the would-be
thieves. It was 60 feet in length, con
structed on scientific principles, con
tained provisions, water and a full
outfit of mining tools, and must have
been three months in operation. The
robbery appeared to be planned for
the time of the month when the bank
received large remittances of currency
and coin.
Immense Iron Deposits in Mexico.
According to an iron trade bulletin,
ievoted to Mexican development, it
appears that the iron industry in that
country is capable of wTonderful ex
pansion. The celebrated iron moun
tain of Durango, the Carro del Mer
cado, is of world-wide fame and it is
claimed to be one of the most valuable
iron deposits in the world, both as to
quality and quantity. It is estimated
to contain 300,000,000 tons of 70
per cent, ore above the level of the
plains. There is another mountain
near the mouth of the Balsas river
which is valuable largely because of
its accessibility to the sea, and, there
fore, to the markets of the world.
This mountain is believed to contain
over one billion metric tons of ore
low in phosphate and averaging more
than 60 per cent, of iron. Other de
posits in the mineral regions of Mex
ico indicate possible yields of sev
. eral hundred million tons of high
grade ore, and along the Pacific coast
there are equally valuable deposits.

The Dog Detective.
Speed and accuracy stamped the
performance of the police dog which
the other night was turned loose on
the track of the negro who shot De
tectives Gallagher and Steinle in Flat
bush.
The four-footed sleuth wasted no
time on theories. He did not go to
the scene of the shooting and wait
for the shooter to come back. Over
a scent still warm he led the way to
the lumber yards, where the fugitive
skulked behind a pile of boards, and
got his man.
No member of the police depart
ment has ever more plainly justified
his membership. One wonders what
might happen were dogs instead of
men set upon the warm trails of Black
Hand firebugs and bomb-throwers.—

to combat Cancer.
A national organization has been
formed in Belgium for the purpose of
combating the ravages of cancer.
One of its many tasks will be to ac
quire and systematize all knowledge
of the disease. It will endeavor to
give the medical profession the re
sults of its research in order that the
disease may be combatted with bet
ter results. It was also proposed to
establish one or more institutions in
Belgium to be devoted especially to
the study of cancerous diseases.
Sardou Trophies Sold.
At the sale of the first portion of
the collection of the late Victorien
Sardou 342 lots brought a total of
nearly $155,000. Three sets of Au
busson tapestries were sold for $24,
600. Sardou was an indefatigable and
intrepid collector. He bought the
porte-cochere of the house in which
Danton lived, for the house was pulled
down to make room for the Boluevard
St. Germain. This doorway was pre
sented in the name of the Sardou fam
ily to the Carnavalot museum.
The Child Critic.
"The child,” says a writer in the
Daily Chronicle, “is a natural critic.
} It was at a Lyceum matinee; scene,
‘Red Riding Hood's Nursery,’ and lit
Ite Miss Marjorie Carpenter is re
tiring to bed. The tiny actress takes
off a dressing gown, and caressing the
inevitable Teddy bear, simulates slum
ber. The silence of the scene is sud
denly broken by a surprised protest
in a shrill boyish voice: ’Oh, mummy,
she’s gone to bed with her boots on!’
That youngster should follow in Wil
liam Archer’s footsteps some day.”
Missionary Seeks Funds.
Rev. Dr. William Carey, a great
grandson of the first Baptist foreign
missionary to India, is in this country
consulting with the American Baptist
Missionary union concerning a plan to
raise in this country $1,000,000 of a
$10,000,000 endowment fund for Ser
ampore college, in the province of

berger having cut off the remaining
years of his sentence. .The release

One-Man Insurance Companies.
Auditor Bartofi has sounded a
warning to members of mutual insur
ance companies to be careful where
they give their proxies. In one com

proxies, and therefore is able to elect

the auditor and all the other officers.
He has notified this company that
unless something is done to correct
this he will apply to the courts. Un
der such conditions the secretary can
force the medical examiner to pass
any applicant he desires. i

summer. The one on the right is after a Paris design. The one on the left
is of meteor crepe in apricot color. The trimming is made of bands of
dull gold on white net.
MAKES A NOVEL NECK PIECE
New Ruch Designed to Ee Worn with
Soft Summer Silk Is Easily
Made.
A rather new little ruch to be worn
with soft summer silk or other one
piece frocks is made of liberty satin,
or chiffon, with long ends that look
almost like a sash.
The material is fastened around a
boned collar lining, fastened at the
back, and is laid either in flat plaits
or is tucked in clusters of thread
tucks.
To conceal the opening which comes
a little to the left rather than in the
middle of the back, is a small rosette
of the material, from which hang two
long ends that come well below the
waist.
Sometimes these ends are finished
in a long pendant ornament of jet or
silk the color of the stock. Again they
have silk fringe, and occasionally they
are hemstitched across the end in sev
eral rows.
With a gray silk frock a charming
stock of this order could be made of
tucked net a tone darker than the
dress. Each tuck could be run with a
line of silver thread. The fluffy ros
ette could have a flat button in the
center darned with the silver thread,
and the ends can be accordion-plaited
with a deep silver tinsel fringe. If
preferred, tiny silver bugles can be
sewed to the bottom of the streamers.
Any clever-fingered girl can make
herself one of these fashionable new
stocks—and use her wits to give old
touches and charming color effects.
MANY USES OF TISSUE PAPER
Especially Is It Valuable When Pack
ing a Trunk—How It May
Be Applied.
We cannot overestimate the value
of tissue paper if we are of the trav
eling public. While it is delight
fully careful and neat to own a vast
array of shoe bags, one to the pair,
and bags and slipcovers galore for
parasols, hair brushes and each thing
we want to separate from every oth
er, the fact remains that they take
up a far too generous proportion of
our trunk space. Tissue paper, which
is a very good substitute, takes up
none of the valuable room and is in
no way open to criticism. It is clean,
white .end dainty; quantities of it are
available at any time, and there is
no better material for filling sleeves
and tucked or puffed gowns to keep
them from crushing. Tissue paper
should be crumpled and poked into
ribbon or lace hat bows and among
liat flowers, and should surround the
hat itself to keep it from flattening
against the sides of the box or trunk
lid.
Each pair of dainty gloves and all
neckwear should be separately
•rapped. Layers of it to separate
the varied contents of the trunk will
make the terrible business of unpack
ing less difficult.
Travelers who have packed with
tissue paper have been quite won
ever to its use.
About Green.
The green tints are countless and
there are hundreds of peculiar shades,
yet a desirable tone is the soft green,
such as one sees on the young peach
leaf. It is a color that is fetching in
linen, whether that garment is made
in self material with no other trim
ming, or finished with something
else, perhaps softly tinted pink and
cream Persian bands, inset in the
goods—a very good marking on the
side of the bodice that closes down
the left front side, also as a trimming
scheme on the left seam of the skirt
that is in line with the closing side of
the bodice.
In speaking of green, an airy suit
can be developed of soft green lawn,
the dress embellished with fine white
lace, and the yoke and sleeve arrange
ment made entirely of white lace.
With a dress of this kind the hat
should be white and green, trimmed
with pink La France roses, or clusters
of pink tea roses. The hose should
be white or green, with black pat
ent pumps or slippers. The parasol
could be an all white eyelet or a
green one of deeper shade with a
plain border.
IN SAILOR STYLE.
This dress, made in the ever-favorite
sailor style, would look well in cream
serge. The skirt is entirely plaited
and is stitched at the foot. The nov
elty lies in the blouse, which is cut in
two pieces, and arranged in a wrapped
seam. A box-plait is made down the
center of front, which fastens up tc
the neck; the pocket sewn at the left
side will be found most useful. White
silk embroidered collars and cuffs
edged with frills are worn and give a
pretty effect.
Hat of coarse straw, trimmed with
a puffed net crown and roses.
Materials required: 4 yards serge
46 inches wide.
Panieres and Crinoline.
Silks, satins and brocades are at
once suggested by the newest models,
and not the soft, clinging fabrics so
wonderfully adapted to the graceful,
close fitting designs. Materials that
can stand alone, the old-time standard
of excellence, will once again be in
demand, and unless there is a more
concerted plan of action among all
women where taste in dress stands for
authority, there is really grave dan
ger of paniers and even crinoline be
ing seriously considered. This has
been threatened time and again, but
has always at the last moment failed
to materialize; so it is to be hoped
this time again the fashion will be
killed before it becomes established.
Princess Hip Yoke.
The cuirass or princess hip yoke ef
fect which has been conspicious in
imported gowns since the first open
ings of the season is being brought out
in many unexpected ways. On^ of the
newest is the entire princess gown with
the lower part of the bodice and the
hip portion of the skirt covered with
embroidery, which makes them one in
line and treatment. In this way it is
possible to turn a two-piece gown into
a princess, the simple process of cov
ering the waist seam with embroidery
or braid being all that is needed. Some
of the trimmings of this kind are put
on in jacket or coat shape.
Upside Down.
Women, indeed, are clever, but the
one who saw a hat-brim decoration in
her unbecoming lace veil was more
than ordinarily farseeing.
Now, the ornate and bordered veil
has vied with the real lace fichu a
hundred times for a place on the sum
mer hat, but it has not done duty as
a face veil and a hat trimming until
this unusually resourceful woman
turned the straight edge down and
then spread the bordered part over
the brim of her large leghorn hat
This brought delicately scattered
sprays and dots over her face in a
more becoming scantiness and gave
place qd the hat for thte full display
of the handsome pattern on the bor
der.
Ribbon Hair Band.
A rather wide band of ribboi
brought up round the hair and tied in
a broad girlish bow at one side is a
French head finish much favored.
Vleeveiess Gauze Coats.
Sleeveless coats of gauze or net give
a dressy touch to a costume. They
are designed primarily for wear in
doors.
THE WRONG OBJECTIVE POINT
Mule’s Lack of Consideration Respon
sible for Ike’s Being Late
at His Duty.
An Atlanta merchant has frequent
occasion to rebuke Ike, his darky por
ter, for his tardiness in reporting for
duty in the morning. Ike is always
ready with a more or less ingenious
excuse.
"You’re two hours late, Ike!” ex
claimed the employer one morning.
“This sort of thing must stop! Other
wise, I'm going to fire you; under
stand.”
" ’Deed, Mistah Edward,” replied Ike,
“it wa’n’t mah fault, dis time! Hon
est! I was kicked by a mule!”
"Kicked by a mule? Well, even if
that were so, it wouldn’t delay you for
more than an hour. You'll have to
think of a better excuse than that.”
Ike looked aggrieved. "Mistah Ed
ward,” he continued solemnly, “it
might have been all right ef dat mule
kicked me in dis direction; but he
didn't—he kicked me de odder way!”

How Mrs. Kessler Was Rescued from
Almost Certain Death.

Objection to Women Golfers.
"Farmers don't mind renting their
fields to golfers, but they are strongly
opposed to women.'’
"Why?”
"Because woman golfers are always
losing hairpins and hatpins and stick
pins in the grass. Follow the trail of
a woman's foursome with a pincushion
and I'll guarantee you a cushionful of
pins at the end of the ninth hole.”
"But why does the farmer mind
that?”
“Because afterward when his sheep
and cattle graze in those fields they
swallow pins. Pins, I needn t tell you,
are injurious to the health.”
Alcohol and Tuberculosis.
The most prominent tuberculosis
specialists in the country agree that
alcohol will not cure cofcsumption. Dr.
S. A. Knopf says: “Alcohol has never
cured and never will cure tuberculosis.
It will either prevent or retard recov
ery." Dr. Frank Billings of Chicago
and Dr. Vincent Y. Bowditeh. ex-presi
dents of the National Association for
the Study and Prevention of Tubercu
losis: Dr. Lawrence F. Flick of Phila
delphia and Dr. Edward L. Trudeau of
Saranac Lake, the founder of the anti
tuberculosis movement in this country,
are all of the same opinion.
Why Actors Wear Long Hair.
Why do actors so often wear long
hair? Perhaps this is the reason:
There once was a statute in England
under which actors found wandering
were liable tc be branded through the
right ear. The long hair concealed
the decoration and thus the custom
was started.
The real martyr never has time to
enjoy the honor.
