American manufacture. The material, of heavy pearl white satin and brocade, was designed especially for the White House bride by a firm in PaterFon, N. J. This same firm designed and manufactured Mrs. Roosevelt's famous inauguration gown brocade. Miss Roosevelt selected her own depign. It is a fine cross pattern with a crescent scattered at irregular intervals. This brocade will bo used in tho full court train of three yards, while the plain satin will make the bodie: and panels. Nearly all of Miss Roosevelt's trousseau is in the bands of a Baltimore modiste iirni that has gowned three generations of the Washington and Baltimore set. Miss Roosevelt will be married In a princess robe, built on severely plain lines. Her robe will be fashioned according to court regulations, for it i? to do dual service, first at the wedding and then at the court of King Edward VII.

FOR AND AGAINST FOOTBALL. Harvard nanUhm, While Yale Defend the Game. Close on the heels of Harvard's decision to banish football as played at present, her traditional athletic rival, Yale, has come out in defense of the game. President Iladley, at the recent dinner of the New York alumni, said that football was bound to be played, if properly modified, and that, among all major sports it has for the student ''the double advantage of being the most democratic and the least dangerous. Played by rich and poor alike, it claims fewer victims than the sports whose successful pursuit is confined to the rich alone." He refer, red to frequent deaths from hunting and sailing, but said that during the thirty years that Yale had played Rugby football no death or permanent iajury had resulted to a Yale man. President Faunce says that the faculty at Brown is wrestling with the subject, but that he fears that the public has become hysterical over it, and that the sins of all sport will be loaded on to football. After all, he thinks the physical danger is of far less importance than the social and ethical side of the game. At Chicago the representatives .-f the "big nine" western colleges have decided upon many radical changes for football and other college athletics, with the purpose of curbing professionalism. It was agreed that, unless football were modibed so as to prevent brutality by the rules committee, the "big nine" would discontinue the game for two years. It was decided that in future the college faculties should have charge of the gate receipts. One rule proposed would bar all graduate students from the matches. A player must have as many recitations during the football season as at any other time of the year. The students shall have nothing to do with the securing of coaches, and the coach must be a member of the faculty. The committee would limit the number of intercollegiate games in a season to five and limit the admission fees to 50 cents. Marriasre Not a Safeguard. Within the limits of Greater New York during the past year there were 57G suicides. More than one person in every 7,000 of the city's population committed self-murder. Disease, poverty, alcoholism, passion, pain, disappointed love and despondency each contributed a quota to the horrifying total. It is proved by the suicide statistic of the past year that to a certain extent marriage is by no mean" a safeguard against self-killing and that divorce is specially productive of it. Evidence of OH Trust Forgery. After the hearing of witnesses at Cleveland, Ohio, Attorney General nadley of Missouri announced that sufficient evidence had been produced to warrant the bringing of criminal proceedings against j the Standard Oil Company under the laws of New York. This was based largely on the statements of Louis II. Turrell, an accountant of Detroit, who was for fourteen years an employe of the Standard. Iiis testimony was forwarded to District Attorney Jerome. Turrell says he was induced by the trust officers tz commit forgery in the signing of important incorporation papers. Spread of the Grpur Moth. The first a nnurl report rendered to the Massachusetts Legislature by Supt.

The disbursement of wages in Reading, Pa., last month was the largest ever known in its history. All of its industries have been woiking full-handed and some of them on "double turn." Business concerns employed additional help and everybody had work. A conference of western business men, including a number of State Governors and general passenger agents, was called at New York to devise ways and means for keeping at home a part of the vast sum spent by Americans in foreign lands. This sum was estimated as high as $190,000,000 in 1904. . Without any idea of immediate returns the Illinois Central railroad will in twelve days expend $12,000. This expenditure will be for a special train of six cars to be run over 2,000 miles of the system in Illinois to stimulate interest in better corn crops, quantity and quality. The train will stop at 120 cities, towns, villages and cross-roads stations. The stop at each place will be forty minutes during which there will be a lecture on seed and soil in each car, which will be fitted with platforms and seats. . The tour will be in charge of Prof. Hopkins of the University of Illinois, and he will be assisted by professors from State agricultural schools. Indeterminate Sentence for SInrder. Superintendent of Prisons C. W. Collins of New York now recommends that life prisoners, which includes those convicted of murder in the second degree, be placed under the indeterminate sentence and become eligible to parole at the expiration of nineteen years and eleven months. This in fact is found to be equivalent to a life sentence in eightyeight cases out of a hundred. Superintendent Collins reasons are that there will be fewer prisoners pardoned, fewer will die or go insane and each will have the same opportunity to earn release by good behavior. ,

OBSERVE CARNATION DAY.

Flttlnff Flower Tribute raid to Memory of William McKinley. Many carnations were again worn this year on the sixty-third anniversary of the birth of William McKinley, the martyred President. The carnation was President McKinley's favorite flower. For years he daily carefully placed one of the blooms in the lapel of his coat, whether in Washington, while Congressman and President, or at home in Canton, Ohio. This custom of President McKinley became so characteristic of him, that those gifted in the finer diplomacy invariably paid him subtle compliment by presenting to him masses of the rich blooms. The first anniversary of the President's death, thousands of persons wore the flower in memory of him. While the practice has waned somewhat, there is still a great demand for the flowers. Carnation day was created by Lewis G. Reynolds of Dayton, Ohio, who upon presenting his idea, to the trustees of the McKinley National Memorial Association received hearty indorsement and co-operation. It was Mr. Reynolds' original idea to observe the anniversary of McKinley's death, but several of the trustees, notably Justice William R. Day of the Supreme Court, the late Senator Hanna and Alexander Revell, because of the tragedy associated with that date, suggested as a more fitting time to pay tribute to the memory of the dead President the anniversary of his birth. Mr. Reynolds readily adopted the suggested change. The first observance was in 1903. The observance reached surprising proportions, extending all over the country and to Americans abroad. The Carnation League of America followed closely the institution of the first Carnation Day and this organization now has its members in every State and Territory of the Union. The league does not hold meetings or conventions. Membership merely constitutes the signing of a pledge to observe the anniversary of the birth of McKinley by wearing a carnation on that day. Its motto is "A Great Life Never Dies." Postmaster General George B. Cortelyou is president and Mr. Reynolds secretary of the league. No fees are collected from members and no funds are solicited by authority of the league. Snfcldea In Our Two Great eitlen. Greater New York had I7G suicides to report last year. Chicago had 4."3. When one takes into account the fact that Greater New York has almost double the population, that is a remarkably favorable showing for that city. Considering this marked difference in proportion, it is all the more striking to observe the similarities which appear when the suicides are further classified. In New York the women suicides formed 22.2 per cent of the entire numbr. In Chicago women were l!l.S per cent of all the suicides. Shooting was the method used by per cent of the New York suicides, and by 35 per cent of the Chicagoans. Gas was used by 22 per cent in New York and by IS per cent in Chicago. Carbolic acid was selected by 14 per cent in New York and by 11 per cent ir Chicago. "Hlght Rather than Rich." In the speech delivered by Gov. Folk of Missouri before the 500 members of the Boston Merchants Association there occurred a number of pointed epigrams, which have been widely ?opied and discussed. One was that the people of the country are really beginning to try "to get right rather than to get rich." Another was that "political parties are beginning to learn that honesty is, after all, the best politics." He said that the people have learned that a grafter is a grafter still, whether he calls himself a Democrat or a Republican ; that it is more difficult to get good laws enforced than it is to enact them, and that "every law looks blue to the man who wanes to bmik it."

Final distribution is still being stimulated by fon-ed sales at retail, and a few lines of wholesale business, notably heavy clothing and rubber goods reflect unreadiness to buy freely for next season's wants.
