the Texas border. -
Judge Seabury, who was grudging-
ly indorsed by Tammany Hall, is cer-
tain to Le the democratic nominee
for governor. For the progressive

stand an excellent chance of defeat-

Two contests in which most public a!r0 when he was thli "omlnee ot tbe

tween Robert Bacon, former secretary
of state, and William M. Calder, for
many years a representative in con-

nomination, and between Governor
Charles S. Whitman and Judge Sam-

j Topeka, Kans., Sept. 18.—Recipro-
cal automobile laws - is one of the
leading subjects to be considered by
the National Association of Secret
taries of State at its annual conven-
tion which began in Topeka today.
Uniform laws to govern the granting
of state charters is another matter to
receive attention. This is the second
annual convention of the association,
which was organized at Cincinnati

he was again nominated for the of-
fice by both progressives and demo-

Governor Whitman bases his claim
for progressive support on the ground
that he has appointed Oscar S. Straus
to tbe chairmanship of the public ser-
vice commission at $15,000 a year and '
on dther favors shown leaders of the
third party. Mr. Straus was the pro-
gressive candidate for governor four
years ago.

The Mexican commissioners were in
New York Saturday and Saturday

country's “Fourth of July” with mem-

Pictoresque simplicity is the keynote j
of the season's modes and nowhere j
is this condition given more forcible
expression than in the development of
accessories. Old-fashioned styles are j
revived, and alolig with them there |
seems to be a return of old-fashioned
industries and types of handiwork. In- -
dividuaiity in costuming is frequently
obtained by, a woman’s ability to stitch i
according to her own ideas. This ap-
plies to all sorts of garments, inner
as well as outer. Madame Mode es- j
pecially approves of home-made ac- j
cessories. _j

Aged Marksman Who Rids Washington of Pigeons
A GRAY-HEADED man was standing in front of the treasury building the
A other day, with a rifle at his shoulder. Every imr minutes .he would take
careful aim. pull the trigger, and down would flutter a dead pigeon. After
eight or nine of the birds had been
winged a man who had been watching
him closely came up to him.
‘Tin going to arrest you!” he told
the marksman. • .
“What are you going to arrest me
for?” -
“For cruelty to animals!” replied
the other.
‘‘Have you been here for the last,
half hour, and seen me shoot?” asked
the. rifleman. The stranger admitted
he had.
“Did you see me miss anything?”
“No/’
“Well, ain't you bigger than a pigeon?”
Amid the laughter of the crowd the stranger turned and walked away,
with a queer look on his face.
Evidently he did not know that Uncle Eak Gadshy, for such was the rifle-
man, was the most expert shot in Washington with that weapon, and had a
permit from the District of Columbia police to carry and shoot his rifle any-
where in the District.
In fact, J. Eak Gadshy is the aid of the police department in matter of
ridding the air of superfluous pigeons, and the ground of surplus cats. The
shooting is done under authority of a police perniit. He has been a keen shot
for tit) years, ever since he was a page in the eapitol during Lincoln’s admin-
istration, and was familiarly known as “Lincoln's Boy,” for he was the presi-
dent's favorite messenger.
I rule “Eali” it was who cleared the inside dome of the congressional
library of pigeons, taking i!l shots, and bringing down 11) birds, all without
making the lens! scratch on the gold-leaf work inside the dome.
Uncle “Eak” has shot a rifle for 00 of his 70 years, and was in his early
days a powerful stroke on the Potomac.
Mr. t j; dsby also shoots eats, on request of the District police, when they
lire becoming a nuisance, but with reluctance. He does the shooting for
pleasure, never accepting a fee for it. a

post office ha-s put 430,000 of the new
product into the service. The saving, -"
on the original cost of. production to
