PEACE SEEMS IN SIGHT

Miss'on of Taft and Bacon to Cuba Shows Indications of Success. REBELS NAME A COMMITTEE They Also Asree To Re Governed by the Decision of the Mediators Oasiness Men Dissatisfied. Havana, Sept. 24. Secretary Taft declares the report false that preparations were making for blue jackets to land. Havana. Sept. 24. All classes are now waiting for the committees under which tranquility will likely lie re stored in Cuba, and disappointment is expressed on every side because of the BOBXBT BACOX. likelihood of pence being brought about without armed United States intervention. That the differences of the opposing factions could be reconciled was not generally believed to be possible until It was announced that the Liberals and the insurgents had empowered a committee to represent them brfore the mediators.

This committee agrees to accept on behalf of the rebels, the decision of Taft and Bacon. Business Men Want Annexation. It is evident that the business interest of the island have no confidence in the ability of the Cubans to rule themselves, and now it. appears too late they are openly favoring forcible intervention and possjbly annexation. Secretary of War Taft is cognizant of this general opinion that peace cannot last unless it is enforced by a United States army, but he considers that GKTCBJlI ALKJAXDRO RODRIGUEZ. it is the duty of the United States to give the republic another chance, -nd j believes It would be bad policy for the United States to keep a force in Cuba longer than was required to supervise the laying down of arms. TIo said that if the Liberals and Moderates harmonize their differences the United States must regard the compact as made in good faith. Everybody looks for Peace. inat peace win come as the resuit of the mediation of the United States Is now believed by Cubans regardless of party affiliation, j but whether it will be on terms which will insure permanent tranquility is 1 questioned. Secretary Taft and Asdistant Secretary of State Bacon spent ; Sunday quietly, receiving few persons. : Representatives of the veterans and of the diplomatic corps made brief ! visits. Senator Alfredo Zayas later : I mt the mediators at the United States j lecration and arranged for their first' I meeting with the insurgents, and Lib erals' committee at 10 a. m. today.

Despite the armistice which is now in effect a clash between government troops and Pino Guerra's forces was threatened. General Avalos with 400 cavalry and 2s0 infantry arrived at Guanajay, prepared to proceed to Camp Columbia near Havana. This meant pr.ssing through the rebel camps and Guerra warned Avalos that it was dangerous.

Humor and Philosophy By DUNCAN M. SMITH

DOVN TO EUSINESS. It matters not how we orate About a cause that we are bcomlns And on its merits loudly prate. Great bales of heated air consuming. And, be it politics or art Or something- else for which we holler. The cause that's closest to our heart Is one that brings us In a dollar. Aloft in realms on high we soar. About the future speculating. And theories deep wi ponder o'er. Their merits carefully debating. But when we open up our vest And tell the searcher to go through um He'll find the fad that suits us best Is one that brings the money to us. "We talk about the simple life And everything in that connection In fact, we argrue with our wife That it is good for the complexion. In every way we figure out That it is better than the other, And then we turn and think about How we can do a man and brother. We plan to push reform along. To hand a knockout blow to error. To take a crack at every wrong And he the evildoer's terror, And then we see a dollar note And drop our hobby to pursue it. Toss oft our necktie and our coat Lest some one else should beat to It. us More Practical. "If I had the wings of n bird I would fly to the farthest corners of the earth. I would soar over land and sea and above the clouds. I would explore the earth from pole to pole and all hidden secrets should be mine." "nuh!" "Ah, you sneer, but pray tell what would you do?" "If I had the wings of a bird?" "Yes, if you had the wings of a bird' "I'd fiy too." "Of course you would." "Yes, I would. I'd fly to the cook with them the first thing." Rapid Education. "You wouldn't guess it from looking at that burglar that he went through one of our leading colleges." "No, I -wouldn't. Did he take high honors?" "No. He only took some rare books and a few gold pens.' He went through it in his profession as a burglar." Paying For It. Summer's gone, and with a sigh Back we to the office turn. Leaving field and wood and skyWhere the autumn signaJs burn. And those things we'll not forget; They will harass us like sin; We'll remember with regret When the summer bills come in. Overlooked the Rest. "That cab driver is no mind reader." "No?" "lie thought ?5 was all the money I had." "How do you know?" "Thatwas all he charged me." Might Have Known, "ne started on the road exhibiting mummy." "Did it prove a drawing card?" "No; it was a dead one." No Personal Knowledge. "Are the fish biting freely at lake?" "I don't know. None of them me." the bit PERT PARAGRAPHS. Today never admits of argument, but always carries a get busy air with it It is a good thing that doing your duty is meritorious. You never suffer mal-de-mer unless you have a large bank account. People who tell the truth quite by accident often find the results embarrassing. Considerable unlearning Is often a necessary thing. Helping yourself is helping othersif there's plenty to go around. Getting in touch with the universe Is a good thing if the universe will stand for the touch. Nobody ever bears you ill will for beitig courteous to him. People who are comfortably miserable keep their friend3 from mental stagnation. A little crookedness is a dangerous always feels like shying at religion that seems to have aa official i stamp upon it- - J

FURS NOW ON VIEW.

Jfew and Attractive Model Seal, Caracal and Broadtail Represented. One is reminded of the passage of time by the fact that the fur garments for cold winter days are now on view, and it would seem that human ingenuity could go no further in inventing novel combinations in this field. Vime was when a coat of one kind of fur was considered sufficiently beautiful, but now what we see is an array of coats with ruffles of another kind of fur from that in the tody of the garment and cuffs, revers or deep collars of still another kind. I saw one threequarter coat made of mink skins, the dark centers being strongly defined in each stripe, for the whole coat looks like a series of paitings on account of the way the skins are sewed. The sleeves were bishop shape, elbow length with deep ermine cuffs and a wide shawl collar. Around the bottom tvas a "held in" rufHe made of choice skunk fur, than which nothing can be richer save sable. To go with this is a big pillow muff, with no end of tails and tiny heads such as would surely astonish the minks if they could see them. Aside from the long fur garments and broadcloath coats lined with squirrel or muskrat fur, there are too many different kinds of short fur coats aud Jackets to mention. But all seem to have very short waists, and there are a few that are made of one kind only. The black astrakhan, caracal and broadtail are all represented. Seal is also seen, but is very dear and becoming dearer rapidly. In the line of neck pieces there seems to be no end, but it is impossible to say wherein they differ from those of last year. Throw scarfs are seen in astounding abun dance, so that one wonders if there are women enough in all the world to wear them. The short sleeve is still with us in the furs, and that necessitates long gloves at from $3 to $5 and even more a pair, and big muffs that can be brought up close to the elbows. Some very stylish semlfitted pony coats of caracal, broadtail and sable squirrel are now exhibited, and they are offered at a less price than will prevail later in the soason. Pillow muffs and throw ties are to be as fashionable as they were during the last eeason. Next to the furs come the new materials for fine outdoor suits. Among A GROUP OP NEW HATS. tne oia ana standard ravorites one finds chevlot3 and etamines. These are imported English goods, and there is a line of herringbone in black fine wool which is bound to be very popular. There are also black panama cloth and several kinds of black voile, which is very well liked so much so. Indeed, that it has become standard, like tne fbroaaciota ana silk warp eudora. Eudora i3 fine twilled, so fine that women call it "dead fine," and being half silk it has a beautiful luster. which broadcloth lacks. The new her ringbone stuff Is waterproof, which makes it doubly valuable. There are hundreds of kinds of worsteds, many of them plaids, some in clan colors and designs and others In soft and artistic shadow effects. There are soft worsteds in dark ground with indefinite overplalds In light colors jacqueminot, dark greens, navy blue, several new shades In brown, Russian green, gray and black. Black and the always pleasing "pepper and salt" of the cravenette make ladylike suits. In silks the trend is for the rich and heavy staple silks like grosgraln and a very close grained and solid taffeta, as well as quite a number of rich surah effects. There Is less of the thin and sleazy silk now made, as the vogue for it has almost died out. I prophesy that the end of the winter will see silks that can almost stand alone, so rich and heavy they will be. Toques are to be among the prettiest millinery. Flowers are made of silk or ribbon or liberty. One white felt hat had six Immense roses of silk, with foliage, two cn tap and four under tho brim. Some of the shapes are ridiculous, as may be seen in the Illustration, but there is something for every face, even that of the antomaniac. Aigrets are as much liked as ever in spite of the protests and somehow they just grow on the hats naturally. All sort3 of feathers and long ostrich plumes are to be worn. The new felt hats are soft .and flexible and when rightly trimmed look pretty oa any one. , fOLIVE HARPER.
