‘Perlod of Wearing It Is Shortened
and It is Less Conspicuous.
Whether we approve or not, it is
undeniably true that the perlod of
mourning is beélng shortened and the
evidences made less conspicuous
than in the yeary of the past, says
the Haberduhor.‘ Only rarely now
adays do men weur emblems of grief
for persons outside of their immed!-

First mourning for a wife covers a
year, and for other relatives six
months. During the first period only

band, white shirt, either plain or
with black stripes, and black suit,
overcoat, walstcoat, half hose, gloves
and shoes,
The second period of mourning
lasts six months for a wife and three
months for any other relative. In
this time gray is correct and the
mourning band is not worn on the
hat. Black and white effects as well
a 8 gray are allowable.
The brassard or sleeve band is in
lexceedingly bad form. It originated
in England as an expedient for ser
vants and others who could not af
‘ford entire change of outfit.
Attendance at soclal affairs of a

Black tle and waistcoat should not
be substituted in the evening for the

wisely been abandoned. The prim
ary purpose of black is to prevent
Buch embarrassment as might arise
from 'ignorance of bereavement on
the part of those met.
FEWER RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
2,791 Persons Killed During Year,
’ Against 3,764 in 1908.
A decrease in the number of casu
alties on American railroads for the
year ended June 30, 1909, is shown
by a report issued by the Interstate
Commerce "Commission.
During the year 2,791 persons were
killed and 63,920 were ipjured on
railroads, as against 3,764 killed and
68,969 injured during the previous
fiscal year. This was a decrease of
973 killed and 5,069 injured. The
report’shows that the number of em
ployes killed in coupling and uncoup
ling cars and engines was 32 per
cent. less than during the fiscal year
of 1908.
The total number of persons killed
and injured during the three months
ending June 30 last was 15,895, or
588 killed and 15,307 injured, being a
decrease of three in the total num
ber of persons killed and an increase
of 2,209 injured, as compared with
the number reported for the same
period a year ago.
The total number of collisions and
derailments in the quarter was 2,100,
or 817 ecollisions and 1,283 derail
ments, of which 100 collisions and 172
derailments affected passenger
trains. The total damage to cars,
engines and roadways was $1,703,642.
Phis shows a decrease of thirty in
the total number of collisions and de
railments, as compared with the
number reported for the same period

#ABIT'S CHAIN
, Certain Habits Unconsciously Formed
and Hard to Break,
An ingenious philosopher estimates
that the amount of will power neces
sary to break a lifelong habit would,
it it could be transformed, lift a
‘weight of many tons.
It sometimes requires a higher de
gree of heroism to break the chains
of a pernicious habit than to lead a
forlorn hope in a bloody battle. A
lady writes from an Indiana town:
“From my «earliest childhood I was
a lover of coffee. Before I was out
of my‘teens I was a miserable dyspep
tic, suffering terribly at times with
my stomach.
“I was convinced that it was coffee
that was causing the trouble and yet
1 could not deny myself a cup for
breakfast. At the age of 36 I was in
very poor health, indeed. My sister
told me I 'was in danger of becoming
a coffee drunkard.
“But .1 never could give up drink
ing coffee for breakfast, although it
kept me ‘constantly {ll, until I tried
Postum. I learned to make it prop
erly according to directions, and'now
we can hardly do without Postum for
breakfast, and care nothing at all for
coffee.
“1 am no longer troubled with dys
pepsia, do not have spells of suZer
jng with my stomach that used to
trouble me so when I drank coffee.”

~Cartoon by Berryman, in the Washington Star.
Cleveland, Ohio.—A remarkable
story of a plot to kidnap or assas
sinate John D. Rockefeller was made
public here.
The story seems incredible, but
thorough investigation by the New
York American’s correspondent
shows:
That Harold ;Sawyer Smith, the
man who revealed the alleged plot, is
a mill owner of Minerva, Stark Coun
ty, Ohio, a man of means and whose
responsibility is vouched for by Chief
of Police W. H. Smith, of Canton.
That the police chiefs of several
Ohio cities have taken Mr. Smith’s
story seriously.
That, according to Mr. Smith, Mr.
Rockefeller himse}f declared his be
lief in Mr. Smith’g.parration...,,. .. .
One Principal, Two Hirelings.
The alleged plotters are:three in
number, so far as known, one prin
cipal and two hirelings. %r Smith
says he overheard a conversation be
tween the hirelings at Alliance on
Sunhday night and that they: referred
to the man who hired them as “Bill,”
a man of money. : .
Mr. ‘Smith, accompanied by James
Stamberger, chief of the East Cleve
land police, told the story of the al
leged plot to the master of the Stand
ard Oil in the Forest Hill living room.
Guards about the estate were doubled
and plans were made for what ap
pears to be a hasty departure for
Pocantico Hills.
Mr. Rockefeller was scheduled to
speak that night at the banquet of
the Men’s Club of the Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church, known as Rockefel
ler's church. He had accepted the
invitation only last Friday. He failed
to appear, but sent word that he must
pack for his intended departure for
the East.
Mrs. Rockefeller, whose illness has
delayed the usual October start for
the East, was willing to attempt the
journey. She is in better health than
for several months. When the party
of three—Mr. Rockefeller, Mrs.
Rockefeller and the. former’s secre
tary—boarded the private car Brook
fine at the East 105th street station
of the New York Central Line at 3.45
o’clock this afternoon the little group
at the depot was half made up of de
tectives in plain clothes. The rest
of the Rockefeller party, contrary to
custom, had been sent to the Union
station. -
Dodges Camera at Depot.
Mr. Rockefeller alighted from his
motor car for a moment. A photog
rapher aimed a camera at him, and
he jumped into the auto and ordered
it kept moving down the street at a
swift pace until the train’s arrival.
Meanwhile a police search is being
made for the men described by Mr.
Smith. He told the story first to the
Canton police chief, was sent to Chief
Kohler, of Cleveland, and then to
Chief Stamberger, of East Cleveland,
who took him to Forest Hill. His
story follows:
“T was visiting in Alliarce Sunday.
About 8.45 p. m. I started for the
church to meet my brother. I walked
EIGHTY HUNTERS DIE THIS YEAR
Chicago.—ln the hunting season
recently closed the number of dead
reached 80 and the injured 43. In
1908, 57 were killed; in 1907, 82,
and in 1906, 74. Wisconsin and
upper Michigan continue to furnish
the greatest number of victims.
Included in this year’s fatal acci
dents are several well known men.
Dr. John R. More, surgeon for the
United States Steel Corporation, was
killed at Ironwood, Mich. H. L.
Bacon, also a physician, died from
an accident at New London, Wis., and
John G. Hoetzel, a real estate man of
i\{:lwaukee. was killed on a hunting
rip. :
Several cases were reported where
the careless marksmen angered other
hunters by firing at them, and were
themselves frightened by a return
fire. It is so generally known in the
Wisconsin woods that any person who
is fired upon by mistake for a deer
will try to shoot the careless marks
man that the hunters are careful to
make no mistake in what they are
shooting at. Each year, however,
up a railroad track near the church
and stopped when I heard some one
talking in a dark shed. One voice
said: '
“‘I don’t see why we came here
from Pittsburg. We might have
waited until to-morrow and gone to
Canton to meet Bill. We might as
well get our money for killing old
John D. We will get what is coming
to us, whether we kill him or kidnap
him. Bill and the other fellow have
plenty of money and are willing to
pay well for putting old Rockefeller
out of the way.’
“I sneaked around to head the fel
lows off, to get a good look at them.
I stumbled as I was getting away, be
cause it was dark. They saw me, but
I hurried along and headed them off
‘around the next block. I had a good
look at both of them. They recog
nized me and remarked that they had
seen me before, but I hurried along
and paid no attention. ,
~ “Monday I went to Canton and told
Chief ‘of Police H. W. Smith. I ex
pected to come to Cleveland Monday,
and Chief Smith insisted that I tell
Chief Kohler. I saw him Monday
night. He took the matter up with
Chief Stamberger, in East Cleveland.
He was creatly interested.
“Stamberger insisted tkat I accom
pany him to Forest Hill to tell John
D. just what I heard. I did not like
to, but consented when he insisted.
I told John D. just what I heard and
Rockefeller told me he believed me
and asked that I remain in Cleveland
Tuesday to make identification in
case arrests were made. I told him
I was doing this for principle and re
fused when he offered to pay my ex
penses while in Cleveland. I am a
responsible man and did not come
here with an imaginary story for the
sake of notoriety or gain. I would
not have come here except that my
business called me here anyway. I
preferred to leave the matter in the
hands of the Canton police.”
Bears a Good Reputation.
Canton, Ohio. — Harold Sawyer
Smith bears a good reputation in Min
erva and Canton. Here he is known
to several lawyers and physicians who
vouch for his integrity. He is a man
of family, the son-in-law of Edward
Tillett, well-known Ilumber dealer,
with whom he lives one and one-half
miles east of Minerva.
William H. Smith, foreman in the
Morgan Engineering Works, in Alli
ance, is the brother Smith was visit
ing Sunday. He also has a brother
in-law in Alliance, Montgomery Til
lett, proprietor of a shooting gallery.
Chief Smith, of the Canton police,
has complete faith that Smith is tell
ing the truth. “He was recommended
to me by A. H. Elliott, an attorney of
this city. He told his story in a
straightforward manner. In detail
it has not varied since it was first re
lated, although he has repeated it a
number oOf times. lam convinced he
is not drawing on his imagination.”
Smith returned to Canton full of
praise for Rockefeller. “He is one of
the finest men I ever had the pleasure
of meeting,” he said.
there is a new crop of city hunters,
who have to learn these dangers all
over, and it is these hunters who fre
quently cause the fatal accidents.
The majority of the victims were
shot by companions. The hunting ac
cidents of the season follow:

Asa Paine, vice-president of the

sald in St. Augustine of the automo
bile industry:
“Cars are now made to last. The
rich man no longer finds his 1907
car unfashionable, like his 1907 coat,
in 1909.
“At the beginning of the Industry
a car was antiquated in no time—
so antiquated that people laughed at
it.
“They tell a story in Detroit about
a dealer who had, in 1900, an an
tiquated 1895 car. He tried vainly to
gell this car. He put lower and low
er price tags on it—sloo, SSO, §lo—
— finally he put on a tag to the
effect that the car was to be given
away.
“HPven then there were no takers.
“So one evening, desperate, the
dealer left the 1895 car in a vacant
lot beside his shop, hoping that some
one would steal. it in the night. But
when he came down to work the
next morning, not only was the old
car stil] there, but another one of
similar pattern had been placed be
side it.”—Detroit Free Press.

PROF, MUNYON'’S PHILANTHROPY
Giving to the Nation a Prize That
Money Cannot Buy.
“T would rather preserve the health of a
nation than to be its ruler.”—Munyon.
This motto, written by Prof. Munyon
about sixteen years ago, was the real cor
nerstone of his medicine business. He felt
that the people of the nation were neglect
“ing their health owing to lack of money.
VV%th the one thoufih_t in view of helping
humanity, he started in the medicine busi
ness, payl_mi_ large sums of money to emi
nent specialists for known and tried for
mulas that were known to have been suc
cessful in curing diseases. After carecfully
compounding these formulas and putting
them up in a marketable condition, he
offered them to the public for a few pen
nies, easllfi within the reach of the poorest
family. He hired eminent specialists at
large salaries and offered their services ab
solutely free to the gublic to diagnose their
cases and advise them what remedies to
take. After givinf the public all these
benefits he was still unsatisfied and offered
further to those who were not-in reach of
the offices which he established throughout
the country; he advertised, asking them to
write to his sgecialists for free medical ex
amination, and to-day Prof. Munyon is still
following out this policy, and whenever he
hears of a new drug or a new formula that
is more effective than those that he is at
the time compounding, he purchases them
regardless .of cost.
firof. Munyon puts ul'lx) a separate cure for
almost every ill, and these remedies ean be
had at all ?ruggists, mosthv 25 cents a bot
tle. In taking these remedies, you are tak
ing what mingt be called a sure thing, for
he guarantees them to {)roduce satisfactory
results or he will refund . our money. This
is a remarkable man and a remarkable in
stitution, manifestly fair to all, and a firm
well recommended.
