Head AVcavInK Served nm n Iteiuedy for Nervous Prostration. Washington Post. Every second woman you meet these days is wearing a belt or a stock or a fob or sometlnuj? or other made of woven beads. I think they call the things Apache bead work, but Ileur-de-lis. patterns and Greek key borders were nevr made by Apache fingers nor thought ortnr Apache brains. I met a woman the other day who was

wearing a belt of greens and blues and reds In a fearfully and wonderfully wabbly pattern, and when I asked her where ou earth he got the thing she told me with pride that her husband made It. "You know Harry's been on the verge of nervous prostration for months." said she. "but he's better now. and this belt Is what cured him. I know It isn't pretty, but I'd rather have it than a girdle of gold. The poor man had business on the brain. He simply couldn't think of another thing day or nisht. and when the doctor ordered him to go away for a change he kept right on thinking of business aud getting harder and harder to live with. He was simply lost with nothing to do while we were away, so one day in desperation I bought a little loom and set him to work making a bead belt. He fussed fearfully at first, and as he has never handled anything smaller than a golf club. 1 had to thread his needle for him. It was too funny to see him sitting by the hour saying over to himself. 'One green bead, three blues, two reds, four blacks, two greens, four blues, one red, three blacks, across the pattern row after row. It was so absorbing he couldn't think of anything else while he was at it, and after he got over thinking it silly he really enjoyed it. He wouldn't want the other men to know it for a farm, but stringing beads cured him, and I think that if men would only learn to do a little fancy work now and then, to take their minds off business.

there wouldn't be nearly so much work for the doctors." GAMBLED FOR A VERDICT ILLINOIS J I'll Y DECIDED A CASE ON READ AND TAILS.' Acquitted of Charge of Assault with Intent to Murder Followed the Decision of the Turned Coins. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. VINCENNES, Ind., Oct. 14. An unusual method of reaching a verdict was employed by a jury in the Lawrenceville (111.) Circuit Court to-day. After being out for some time without reaching an agreement It was decided that each juror should put a nickel In a hat. After shaking them they were to be turned on a table, and if tho most heads came up the verdict would be an acquittal, and if the tails turned the finding should be a conviction. Heads won and the verdict was returned In court acquitting George L. Ryan of assault to commit murder. State's Attorney Lackey heard of the method employed in getting a verdict and reported it to Judge Newlin, who had the jurors brought forthwith Into court and he reprimanded them severely, saying they had totally disregarded all law and evidence and deserved the punishment which they no doubt would get. The exposure caused a sensation, as the jury was made up of the best men of the county. It is said they will be prosecuted. SECOND DEGREE MURDER. Life Imprisonment Sentence is Passed on Nathan Rnnkln. Freclal to the Indianapolis Journal. LAPORTE. Ind., Oct. 14. The jury which heard the evidence and the argument in the Nathan Rankin murder case in the Laporte Circuit Court returned a-verdict this morning rinding the defendant guilty of murder in th second degree, the punishment for which is a life sentence In the State l'rison. Because of the assistance which Rankin had given the State in convicting Josephus Mallory and Melvin Boone at previous trials It was generally expected and even by Prosecutor Clf rke that the jury would decide on a verdict of manslaughter. Sentence was immediately pronounced on Rankin, who had nothing to say and. appeared very little concerned over the outcome. His attorneys moved for a new trial and the motion will be argued at some future date. Rankin was taken to the Michigan City prison this afternoon. Inhumanity to a Child.

THE SINGER AND THE REPORTER. 3Ialanic Melba Likely to nejrret Her Injudicious Speech. Philadelphia Record. Sometimes there is almost an excuse for the ingratitude of a politician toward the newspaper reporters. When, for example, a party leader, in venturing on a bold experiment, has sent for a reporter and asked to be interviewed, and when his statements have been carefully written down, with some improvements In the grammar, and printed, and when the public has shown indignation or disgust, and the politician must choose between unpopularity (which would be fatal to his career) and repudiation of the printed report, it is hardly surprising that he should deny the accuracy of the Interview, soothing his conscience with the fact that where he said "black" the reporter wrote "dark," or made some other trifling error. Even the reporter whose work Is discredited by the denial can almost pardon the politician for his cowardly and dishonest manner of extricating himself. There is, however, no such shadow of an excuse for the black ingratitude of players and singers who have risen to fame and fortune with the aid of the reporters. Madame Mclba is a charming woman as well as a remarkable singer. The newspaper reporters have recited this so often that it has become established in the public mind. It is strange, therefore, to read her announcement on leaving England for America on Saturday last. T shall," she Is quoted, "refuse to grant Interviews to American reporters. The newspaper people in America have an exaggerated sen?e of their importance. As far as I am concerned I don't care a pin what they say about me. I consider myself out- of reach of their criticism and don't need their assistance any longer." These last few words, "and don't need their assistance any longer," are significant. This sort of experience is wholesome for the newspaper reporter. Beyond a doubt he Incurs great danger of forming an exaggerated opinion of his own importance. Sent for by Madame Melbas (when they are still struggling for recognition) and treated with the consideration usually reserved for princes aud tru?t magnates; haunted by the press agents of players and singers of both sexes; greeted with beaming familiarity and like an equal by big politicians in need of newspaper service; gushed at by leaders of fashion on the eve of a society event of which a,, thrilling report is wanted, the young reporter would be more than human if he should not consider himself a power in the land and something of a fascinator personally. lie is saved rrom becoming a confirmed ass by being snubbed by the Melbas after these achieve their aim and "don't need his assistance any longer;" by being coldly cut by the fashion leader after the swell event has been amply reported, and brutally ordered out by the politician whose role Is now to show hi independence. If the reporter be a sensitive plant he will turn cynical and doubt the sincerity even of reformers. Usually, though, he learns to discriminate, and Is no more depressed by the ingratitude of public persons than he is overwhelmed by their calculating geniality. One of Mrs. Logan's Stories. New York World. Mrs. John A. Logan has recently come back from England, where she had a somewhat peculiar experience. Her landlady In ljondon chanced also to be named Logan, and was a worthy but Inquisitive widow. Owing, perhaps, to this latter trait, she took to opening Mrs. John A. .Logan's letters on the arrival of the post, reading them and then giving them to their original owner with the explanation that as they were addressed (English fashion) merely to "Mrs. Logan," she had thought they were her own. Mrs. John A. Logan rtood it until the landlady opened an invitation to a royal garden party. "This 1 too much!" cried the late American. "You surely must have known this invitation from the King's secretary was not meant for you." "Well, ma'am." tearfully responded the landlady, "I couldn't tell but may be I was ri?la lu society kind of sudden-like. " Please look at Mrs. Austin's New Dress.

NOVELTIES OF FASHION

DAINTY RICHES AND OTHER NECKAVEAIt THAT PRECEDE Fl RS. The IS.! Styles In Gowns' More Than Ever In Evidence Dress That Needs a Lone Pnrsc. Correspondence. cf the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK, Oct. 14. The season 1 replete with novelties. As I have stated In previous letters, we have styles of many sorts. While 1S30 Influences are markedly apparent, and certain features of that period are generally accepted, this season of 1003 and 1904 Is far from reproducing any other, and as a result we are offered many things of.many sorts. I wrote you of furs last week. While It Is doubtless true that they will be general as soon as the thermometer allows, fascinating creations of feathers and of lace will be worn until that time arrives. Not neck scarfs alone, but muffs also are shown and are alluring In the extreme. Ostrich, marabout and cocque feathers all are used; even dear old swan's down has been revived and many combinations are seen. Soft castor shades, white, gray and black, all are seen. Favorite shapes are the flat stoles and pelerines, or capes with stole ends, and flat muffs, closely like those of fur. The pelerines are charmingly graceful and worn, as are all the scarfs of the season, well off the shoulders In lS30 style. The lace and chlfllon ruches are black, white and colored to match the gowns. Stoles and pelerines predominate, but many genuine little flat capes with ribbon or chiffon ends are seen and are preferred for the wTaps of hard usage, but the white lace trifles are many of them exquisite for evening and carriage dress. A most dainty and tempting confection, as the French call such trifles, is made of swan's down combined with point de'esprit and chiffon of a creamy shade that Is most effective with the pure, snowy white of the down. The shape of the scarf Is a combined cape nnd stole, while the muff Is big and flat. The foundation is white silk, on which the down is arranged in strips, with a ruche of the net edged with narrow white satin ribbon at each Jointing. The muff proper is similarly made, but Includes deep plisse frills of chiffon over those of net at the hands. Another dainty trifle Is all of cocque, and still another marabout, with cocque ends. The little capes are of many things. Indeed, it would seem almost Impossible to go astray in combining any two or three materials so long as the result Is handsome. An entirely novel cape is of cream cloth embroidered in what the French call "a jour" style, and trimmed with heavy lace at the edge, while over the shoulders is a narrow pelerine scarf of moleskin, with touches of ermine. Fringe is much seen as a finish, and is preferably of chenille, suggesting the 1SG0 styles for these wraps of fur and lace, but silk often Is knotted Into the meshes of the latter. OLD FASHIONS REVIVED. Evening and reception gowns give a more marked evidence of 1830 influence than those ofLany other sort Thin materials are given precedence over all others, and some marvelously lovely embroidered muslins are shown that are daintiness itself and do Indeed suggest the time when fine muslins from India were held treasures of great worth. Notable, In a collectloi of notable gowns shown me last week, was one of this filmy material combined with the softest taffeta In a delicate shade of rose. The muslin makes the upper portion of the skirt, that extends to a little below the knees, its embroidered edge forming the finish, and is simply straight-gathered at the belt. Below it the silk is continued on the same lines, but 'cut to form a slight train and trimmed with embroidered medallions at the lower edge. The waist Is low, in baby style, with a deep girdle of the silk and a bertha that combines silk, embroidered medallions and fringe. Another, that might well have come forth from some dear old frame in a gallery of historic portraits, is of mouseeline. shaded from deep red to white. The skirt is full, gathered at the belt, and is trimmed with scant frills of white blonde lace, headed by cerise velvet ribbon an inch in width, and put on with little flat loops, without ends, at intervals of about three-eighths of a yard. With this is an accompanying ribbon sash with long ends. Sashes, by the way, are many. Lovely flowered ribbons, as well as plain colors, are used, while others are made of chiffon, soft silk and the like, finished with ruches of pinked ribbon. There appears to be a craze for ruches, let me say. One sees them at every turn. A trimming that appears to be much liked consists of lace medallions, oval in shape, outlined with these ruches of pinked silk, and plain rows are numerous. A gown of the quaint old-time sortis made of point d'esprit net trimmed with tiny frills of mousseline. The skirt Is straight, with a slight train, and Is gathered at the belt. On it the frills, five in number, are arranged to form scallops set at about double their width apart. The low waist includes full puffed sleeves that extend nearly to the elbows, and which are nearly covered with frills, while two extend around the bodice on continuous lines. At the waist is a pointed girdle of white satin, and the neck is finished with a band of heavy lace, threaded with soft white ribbon, that terminates in a single sash end at the left side, where tt is passed down over the corsage and under the belt. The effect is daintily charming, as well as quaint, nnd the gown suits the debutante, for whom It was designed, quite perfectly, but happily the season offers models of quite different sorts as well as those with their old-lime air. GOWNS FOR YOUNG GIRLS. As pretty and girlish a gown as the mögt exacting young woman could ask for Is made of white point d'esprit net and is trimmed with white crush roses and their tender green foliage. The skirt It slightly full and trained and Is made with two deep gathered flounces. Each of these Is scalloped and laid In fine tucks with a finish of the small roses at the edge. The corsage Is full and round with a low neck and puffed sleeves, the neck edged with a full bertha of the net scalloped, tucked and finished with ross to match the skirt. Beneath the gown is a skirt of plain net over an underskirt of soft white taffeta. A sash of wide white ribbon Is worn at the waist. A most practical and serviceable gown is of champagne colored crepe de chine made very full and Includes a separate yoke cape of heavy lace. This cape falls well over the shoulders and arms, several Inches below the edge of the decolletage and closes at the back. The waist proper is low, with elbow sleeves edged with deep frills. When a ball gown is desired the yoke cape Is omitted and the waist worn low." When, for any reason, the high neck Is preferred It needs only be added and held In place by a few ornamental pins. Inasmuch as drop yoke? arc worn over all gowns this one seems quite a part of the bodice and It was only by chance that I noted the double service it allowed, when the Idea immediately impressed me as one of value. The j-oke could be of any lace harmonizing with the gown, or of chiffon with lace and the closing made either at the back or at the left shoulder seam, as best suits the srnt-ial gown. Sleeves make a feature of the season that cannot be overlooked. They grow bigger and bigger, more and more varied. Even the rule that called for sung fit at the shoulders is being put aside, although it still holds in howler fabrics. Almost everything that could be imagined is seen. Combinations without number are rhown. I think 1 have already written of the wide frills of lae that finish the sleeves of handsome coats. Indoor gowns, too. show these graceful and becoming falls aud, in addition, fullness that takes shapes too many to enumerate. Deeper cuffs are the rule. Everything that droops and falls is correct. Angel mo lt Is how countless variations. One of the latest whims Is for blouses entirely accordion plaited. With these the sleeves are made cf large squares with the opening cut at the center. Thee squares are plaited and haug In deep points caught to the narrow cuff only nt the Inner arm. Sleeves of thin material snug to the elbows with -haprd frills. who?e points fall well to knees, are seen. One Always m rtc---Jr tho Full fleas

C wi.i.nnHLir of the latest models for cloth consists of full puffs of thin material gathered Into four-inch cuffs and above them narrow circular frills of cloth each overlapping the last. Deep points are seen everywhere and in everything. A novel plecve is made in flowing style, but cut to form these points and double, while beneath it Is a full puff of contrasting material gathered into a flare cuff. As I saw it rirst the foundation was nut brown cloth, the under sleeves were velvet and the trimming on the flcews bauds of Oriental embroidery. CUFFS ARK A FEATURE. Deep, fitted cuffs with voluminous draperies above appear In all the thlnntr fabrics. A handsome gown 0 mushroom colored crepe de chine Includes sleeves which thow such cuffs of heavy lace, that extend over the hands, nearly to the knuckles, with drapery of the crepe above, that is laid In tiny plaits at the Inner scam and snugfitting caps of lace at the shoulders. lHs?o frills are many. A most picturesque sleeve of white cloth Is cut in bell shape nnd rounded at the lower edge to form wide, deep scallops, below these are two pliss frills of Liberty satin -and below them again a four and a half Inch cuff of the cloth, stitched. Verily and indeed Is the sleev the central point of the gown. Shortly, if we go on as we have begun, it will b true, as it was said to be a decade ago, .that we make the sleeves first, the bodice with what scraps remain. From Paris we are receiving gowns of cloth fur-trimmed in many novel ways. Time was when plain, simple bands wer held most elegant, but that time belong to the past. Fur trimmings of to-day nro elaborate, in common with most other features of fashion. Skins of various sorts are cut into strips and worked into arabesques and the like .with edges of tiny gold and colored braids. In many Instances the work is applied over velvet bands, so making a doubly elegant effect. Pastille of fur, too, are used and in many odd ways. They ar cut from the fur, applied to the material and outlined with braid or small beads. One method is to arrange p'ramids of graduated sizes at intervals round the edge of the skirt; another is to arrange smaller pastilles to give th effect of iin all-over design. Again coarse, open meshed lace is applied over fur and I think I have already mentioned discs of velvet on fur, such as gray or brown on white, forming bands. There seems literally no limit to extravagance and luxury. The richest fabrics, the handsomest furs and laces ari combined and cut up to give what often are merely bizarre effects. We are told that strikes have so far crippled many enterprises as to leave the winter opening with a long list of unemployed and probably much future distress, but truly do the fashions give no hint thereof. Luxury greets one at every turn. Shops swarm w Ith buyers ordering with a lavlshness that only the best times should warrant. Costly dress becomes more common day by day until there are times when one recalls thoFe records of history, which tell of splendor galore followed by upheavals of the social state, with a feeling of dread and Imminence It Is Impossible to shake off. MAY M ANTON". IIIS KEW SLOGAN. The "Penniless Campaign That 31 r. Hryan'WIlI Slake In Indiana. New York Sun. Mr. Bryan takes Issue with an Indiana editor who speaks of the Democratic ttartjr in the State as "penniless, defeated and utterly annihilated." It is not true, say Mr. Dryan. and to prove that he is riht, he proposes "a penniless campaign that will appeal to the conscience and patriotism of the people." Good! Lt none but impecunious men be pnt on guard! A man with a dollar is a man without a conscience, and If he is not annihilated he ought to be. Mr. Uryan will Mump Indiana, decline to take even silver for his services, and pay his otvn expenses. Democrats who own halls will let them gratia for public meetings. Democrats who have hotels will throw them open to visit Ins; statesmen consecrated to saving the party. Democratic hackmen will give them free rides to the hotels. Democratic Job printers will set up handbills and get out poftera for nothing. Iemocratic bands will play patriotic airs for exercise, and Democrats will paint banners for the? sake of art. Committees will' decline contributions, for a penniless campaign cannot be conducted with money. I 'asses will b returned to railroad companies, and if candidates have'nt got the price they must go about the State on Shank's mare. "The Democratic party, says Mr. Uryan, "must either be going toward plutocracy or away from It." The man must b elevated above the dollar. He must s;urn it as measure of value and medium of exchange. Only by being dollar rs can he establish his Identity as a patriot and feel his conscience throbbing in his proletariat bosom. Hurrah for the pennies campaign in Indiana! Free lunch, free beer, treer speeech. and freedom to be annihilated at the polls! An Omnivorous Horse. Philadelphia Record.
