INFREQUENCY OF GALES.*
River Meu Comment on Unusual
Weather Conditions.
River men have been commenting on
the unusual infrequencv of heavy north
west blows this l'all. and those who keep
a line on the weather predicted that when
lite blows did come they would be un
usually heavy. It would seem as if their
observations were correct. The first blow
of the season t ame last week and was
very severe. The force of lite gale was
sufficient to lower the level of the water
in the river several teet and to keep ves
sels in harbor for forty-eight hours. The
second northerly gale came yesterday. On
the river, according to reports, it was
very severe and made the water as rough
as in Chesapeake bay in a heavy north
caster.
But few vessels ventured to leave port,
and they had but a small scrap of saii
showing, but. small as was the canvas, it
wa4 sufficient to send them down the
river at express steamer speed. The Kale
blew itself out last night and did not
cause any unusually low tides. As far as
has been reported no damage was done
to shipping in the river by the gale."
Wealthy Woman Killed by Train.

Big Auto Speeds Ahead When
She Is Caught.
?
PULLED ALONG FOR BLOCK
Crowd Sees Victim Mangled Under
Heavy Limousine.
DRIVER CHASED IN TAXICAB
Makes Good His Escape, Leaving
No Clue?Young Woman In a
Critical Condition.
NEW YORK, November 24.-The blast
of an automobile horn and the sudden
shriek of a girl caused the throngs of
men and women hurrying toward their
i homes from the subway station at 137th
street and Broadway at 7 o'clock last
night, where an uptown train had stopped
a moment before, to look into the street.
There they saw a young woman, her skirt
and hair caught under the front wheels of
a big limousine car, being dragged
screaming along the wet pavement.
Women cried out In horror and several
men. among them Dr. Chalmers Sangree
of .771 West 139th street and Hans Gundl
of 5."?9 West 140th street, ran into the
street, expecting the automobile to stop
To their amazement, however, the ma
chine, on the front seat of which sat a
' uniformed chauffeur and a man compan
; ion, suddenly darted ahead at increased
speed, sweeping the girl caught beneath
its wheels along the pavement.
As suddenly as it had swooped forward
the car slowed almost to a standstill a
moment later, and the men, who had
stopped short in surprise, started toward
it again. Again, however, they saw the
car give a jump forward and again slow
down, repeating its sudden stops and
starts for the distance of the block be
tween 137th and 138th street?.
Shook Victim Off and Sped Away.
The girl, who had never ceased crying
j out. wa-s thrown free of the wheels at
l.*C8th street, and as though the manipula
tion of the car had been for the very pur
pose of freeing her body from the wheels,
the auto leaped forward at top speed once 1
this was accomplished and fairly tore up
Broadway, its occupants never stopping to |
see the condition of their victim.
Gundl, who had been shocked into in-'
activity by the movements of the auto
mobile, now ran across the street when
he saw the car making away, and sprang
to the driving seat of a taxicab standing
outside of a restaurant much frequented
by chauffeurs. Gundl drives a car for
Herman Ridder, the publisher. Shouting
to the taxicab's driver, an acquaintance,
he started after the fleeing limousine.
Dr. Sangree and several other men had
picked up the injured girl meantime. Her
scalp was bleeding where her head had
been wrenched beneath the automobile,
her face and hands were badly bruised
and her clothing was almost torn off. She
was not unconscious, although hysterical
from pain and fright.
While several of the men carried the
girl, one ran ahead to the Montefiore
Home at 138th street and Broadway and
L>r. BorofT, the house surgeon, hurried
out to help bring the girl in.
Girl's Condition Critical.
In the office Dr. Boroff and Dr. Sangree
examined her carefully and found that
besides inumerable bruises which prac
tically covered her whole body, the girl
was suffering from concussion of the
brain and probable internal injuries. Her
scalp was badly torn also.
Before the ambulance arrived the girl
was able to give her name, which she said
was Alice Mohen. She said she was em
ployed as a stenographer in the Mar
bridge building, at 34th street -and t?th
avenue, and that she had just alighted
when the accident occurred.
Miss Mohen said she raised her um
brella as soon as she stepped from the
subway kiosk, and, after taking a glance
up and down Broadway, stepped Into the
street to cross to the other side. Half
way across a heavy gust of wind from
the south had caused her to shift her
umbrella so that her view of the street
in that direction was obstructed.
The girl saw no ear or vehicle approach
ing when she left the sidewalk and de- j
clared that the automobile must have)
been going at high speed, for, hardly had
she lowered her umbrella to the wind,
v.-hen she heard the warning horn and
had only time to lift the umbrella and
catch a glimpse cf the approaching car
be.ore it was upon her, and she was
thrown to the ground.
"Then I felt tne car spurt forward and
then suddenly slow up," continued Miss
Mchen. "At one time I felt my '.ody
pound upon the pavement ac I was drag
ged ahead. The next instant I was almost
lifted from the ground by the speed at
which I was pulled along."
Dr. Du Bois hurried Miss Mohen to the
hospital, where it was said that her con
dition was critical.
Pursuer Gives "Up Chase.
Gundl in the meantime had returned
fioin a fruitless chase of many blocks
after the flying limousine*. He said that
on the wet pavements his car and the one
he whs following skidded dangerously in
the street. The driver of the limousine
was willing to take any chance appar
ently, and at last he eluded his pur
suer by putting on a burst of speed and
turning down a s!de street without shut
tli.j off his power. The big car swayed
and Implied, but kept right side, up, and
when Gundl reached the street the limou
sine waa lost to sight.
In the darkness no one had been able
to get the number of the car, but it was
described by witnesses of the accident as
a big bla^k car with silver trimmings. A
dozen plaiu clothes men were sent out
from the West i2."?t'u .street station to
search for.i'., and every bicycle policeman
in the precinct waa warned to keep a
watch out for it.

NEWPORT NEWS, Va., November 24.
?Police Justice Brown dismissed the
charges of soliciting bribes against
Councilman E. C. Cox, holding that the
letter written by Cox to the Cleveland
Trinidad Paving Company. - asking for
employment as representative of the
company and for $loo "expense monev,"
was the product of "a foolish person
boasting of his own importance." As
to the evidence of E. B. Demarest, gen
eral manager of the Cleveland Paving
Company, to the effect that Cox on two
occasions solicited bribes from him. once
for $1,6**1 and again for *1,000, "to keep
the boys quiet," in reference to asphalt
paving in thLs city, the magistrate ruled
that it wan a question of veracity, and
that Cox was entitled to the benefit of
the doubt.
Baptists Against Coeducation.
NORFOLK, Va., November 24.?Debate
in?the convention of the Baptist General
Association of Virginia showed the trend
of sentiment in the association to be
strongly in favor of the abolition of co
education in the schools of the church.
It will be abandoned in Richmond Col
lege, and the proposed new Woman's
College will have no connection with
that institution save that they shall both
be under the same trustees. The Bap
tist state encampment will not be held
next year at Buckroe* Beach, but at
Ocean View or Virginia Beach. The con
vention adjourned last night to meet
next year in First Baptist Church, Ro
anoke.
A GROUP OF NEW FURS.
Fortunaie indeed is the woman who is the- possessor of
one of these fur sets, consisting of hat, muff and stole to _
match. The one above is a particularly handsome one of sable.
The natty little toque is of shirred velvet and fur bands, deco
rated by a stiff white aigrette held by a novelty ornament.
With this set is carried the muff at the lower right. This
muff, by the way. shows the return to the old round shape of
several years ago. Many of the rug muffs are still seen, how
ever. as witness the beautiful one of ermine just above.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
VARIOUS EVENING GOWNS
Dresses for restaurant dinners nowadays I
differ only from those worn at home in
that they should not he as elaborate.
Yet in those most fashionable restaurants
?those of world-wide reputation among
society?the frocks really do not differ
from those used for dinners in private
houses.
Americans^ still cling to the old cus
tom of wearing: hats in public places,
therefore the effect in the toilet is differ
ent from that worn at homo. With a
gown cut decollete, though not as low as
for a dance, a large picture hat is an
essential. In London and on the conti
nent women go bareheaded to dinner.
Iji less fashionable restaurants a girl
should wear a light, high-neck frock or
one that has some pretense to .elegance
if the color is dark. A black velvet, for
example, would be correct, for the ma
terial presupposes elaboration in effect
if not in ' fact. The. hat to go with it
;nust be of the picture order.

FOR THE COMPLEXION.
As shaving cream is one of the least
harmful of cleansing applications a wom
an can put on her face, those who re
fuse to'apply grease in any form, fearing
a growth of superfluous hair, will bo bene
fited from its use. Shaving cream is a
pure compound from which alkali is ab
sent, and it is the proportion of alkali,
with grease, which forms the cleansing
properties of soap. The stronger the
alkali, the more bleaching is it, but also
the more positive its injurious effect, be
cause of the way the cuticle is dried.
Shaving cream is prepared in many dif
ferent forms, but every chemist ha.s it in
bulk. This may be taken and scented
with a few drops of rose or other essence
by carefully working the two.
A shaving brush has little value as an
agent for applying the paste to remove
djrt. but a soft complexion brush is ex
cellent if one that will not injure the skin
is selected.
To cleanse, the cream may be rubbed
directly upon the -face, or on the brush,
as one chooses. In the former way the
skin is first moistened, and so is the soap,
the complexion being well covered. Xo
lather exists until friction with the wet
brush creates i.t, and then the scrubbing
is to be thorough, but not severe.
I^ater this application must be rinsed
off with tepid water. This method of
? leaning may be done every other day,
but oftener than that 1 think is not de
sirable.
In my opinion a complexion brush is
among the most valuable of toilet arti
cles, for a cloth can not extract dust
from the pores and from beneath the sur
face, as can bristles. The latter, how
ever, should not be. of a quality to cause
irritation. Any brush used on the face
should tirst be soaked for twelve hours.
This will soften the bristles and take
away any stiffness. If, when the face is
rubbed, there is the slightest sensation
of pain from the treatment, the brush
should be put aside, for otherwise it will
cause a condition of soreness.
Twice a week, or three times at most,
is sufficiently often, as a rule, for fric
tlonlng the comptexion with anything but
a cloth, but it Is never to be forgotten
that to permit the pores to become
choked with dust is to invite blackheads,
so should one have been exposed to much
dust, bristles must be used to remove
the foreign matter.

TASTY RECIPES.
Old-Fashioned Boiled Plum Pudding
Mix together one pound raisins, seeded
and chopped; one pound currants, well
cleaned; one pound suet, chopped fine;
three-fourths pound stale bread crumbs,
one-quarter pound Hour, one-quarter
pound brown sugar, rind of one lemon
chopped fine, one-half nutmeg gratfcd,
five eggs well beaten, one-half pound
candied orange and lemon peel, and one
cup brandy or any rich fruit juice.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly,
beat the eggs and mix jritlv the liquid,
then combine. Boil in a basin or mold
six hours at the time of making and
four or five hours when wanted for use.
This will make about six pounds of pud
ding. It can be made in one large mold
or in small ones and ca'n be kept for
months. When ready to serve turn out
on a hot platter, stick a piece of holly
in the center, circle it with holly, -and
is a light-colored broadcloth. If in gray,
champagne, etc.. it will possess a certain
dressiness, yet he sufficiently strong to
endure the wear of street car travel
when-cabs are not available. Such a
frock should be high neck, and if very
well cut need not be elaborately trimmed.
A black dress is always in good form if
it is well made. But it should be relieved
about the face with a white guimpe of
lace or other tbin material to give a
dressy appearance.
A coat and skirt with separate waist
may be considered smart and good form,
but never by any chance dressy. The suit
is intended for service, and no matter
how it may be modeled, tthe combina
tion never has a dressy effect. For lunch
eons such may be admirable, but for din
ner, even in a restaurant, it is merely
general utility.
A dark-colored crepe de chine is one of
the smartest frocks that can be devised
for evening wear in public places, for
there is an attraction and grace to the
material that gives it a simple elegance
and the gown cannot be considered ordi
nary. Some of the new cloths with high
luster finish are also admirable, for they
stand hard wear and continue to look
fresh. ROSANNA SCHUYLER.
if desired pour a little brandy round it,
light, and carry to the table flaming.
An Economical Plum1 Pudding.
This is said to be equal to any plum
pudding and*is certainly far less expen
sive. Mix together one and one-half
cupfuls of flour, one cupful of brown
sugar, one cupful of grated suet, one
cupful of seeded raisins, one cupful of
cleaned currants or chopped prunes, one
cupful of grated carrot, one cupful of
grated potato, one-quarter of a cupful
of minced orange peel, nutmeg", cinnamon
and cloves to taste.
Pudding Sauce.
To make the sauce beat together one
tablespoonful of corn starch, two table
spoonfuls of butter and one-half of a
cupful of brown sugar. Set on the stove
until heated, then turn in hot water, a
little at a time, and cook until the con
sistency required. Add four tablespoon
fills of grape or apple jelly, with spices
or flavoring to taste and serve hot.

, FADS FOR WOMEN.
A pretty new shirt waist model suit
able for developiyg in fine French flannel
displays three double box pleats down the
front, one in the center and one from
eactfi shoulder.
The box pleats are formed by side luck
ing the material in opposite directions.
Between the box pleats the entire front
is laid in half-inch lucks going around
the body.
Tliis will be found a generally becom
ing model. The pleats could be orna
mented with buttons to yoke depth if de
shed.
The sleeves could ba in one seam small
bishop, confined by cufTs, arranged to cor
respond with the double box pleats. ?
One of the fads of winter millinery is
the use of immense rosettes of tulle, rib
bon or net. Sometimes the rosette is
represented by a huge rose in metallic
effects, dull old gold being mu?h in de
mand.
Their position on the hats is often odd.
The hat appears to be fully trimmed and
afterward the rosette, is added on the
right side, apparently without reason.
Sometimes it will be the sole trimming.
The hats so decorated may be of beaver,
felt or velvet, the left side turned up the
whole way, the rosette placed 011 the right
side.
Armure curtains are the preferred
draperies fin* doors this season in an
inexpensive material. They are of mer
cerized cotton. Some display a valance
fringe at the top, others are corded.
A better quality in a light-weight ar
mure finished with a guimp edge comes
in red, olive, green, forest green, light
blue, nile green and rose. They measure
fifty inches in wid{li and three yards
long.
Many persons add asbestos pads to the
silence cloths used on the dining tables.
These can be bought in different sizes
with extra leaves if required. They meas
ure from sixty-one <0 sixty- six inches,
and come in both round and square
shapes. Leaves twelve inches wide or less
are $1.
Bonnets or hoods of fur will be worn
this winter. With fur hood, large fur
gauntlets, a fur neckpiece, with dangling
beads and tails, muff of huge propor
tions and a fur garment, milady will be
clothed like an arctic explorer.
Fashion is freer this winter than in
many years. This is true as to gowns,
bats and wraps, as to the style and 'cut
of which there is wide choice; the hard
and fast rules of style now apply prin
cipally to accessories.
BOATS TO NEW YORK
Steamer Line to Run Direct
From Washington.
!TO TOUCH AT NORFOLK
i Potomac and Chesapeake Flans to
Include Passenger Service.
TRIP TO TAKE ABOUT 36 HOURS
Senator Elkins, John R. McLean,
C. M. Warner and Other Capital
ists Interested in Project.
According to an announcement by Colin
H. Livingstone, president of the Potomac
and Chesapeake Steamboat Company, ar
| rangements are beine made to establish a
steamboat service between this city, Nor
folk and New York. The company some
time ago acquired what were known as
the Randall river properties, including
boats and property at river resorts which
were formerly under the management of
the fate Mr. Randall. In addition to a
river service the company has also be
gun running boats between this city and
Norfolk.
The proposed expansion of the field of
the company as outlined by Mr. Livings
tone in New York yesterday and reiter
ated on his return to this city today is
j to be undertaken shortly and follows
J closely a failure to make satisfactory
i traffic arrangements for handling freight.
| In connection with this statement of the
plans of the company it is also announced
that the following are interested in the
project: Stephen B. Elkins of West Vir
ginia and this city,. John R. Mctean of
this city, C. M. Warner, president of the
susar trust; E. R. Chapman, the New
York banker, and John R. Dos Passos
of the same city, and Benjamin L. Du
laney of this city and ennesse, and
others of this city and New York.
Will Carry Passengers.
The service that is proposed between
Washington and New York as stated by
men who are interested in the company
is not only to carry freight, but later
provision will be made for passengers. In
fact, it is believed that the latter can
be made quite a feature of the business,
as it is proposed to make a passenger
rate between this city and New York
that will be about the same as the .pres
ent round-trip railroad farfc, but will in
clude stateroom.
? It Is estimated that the journey from
Washington to New York will take from
thirty-six to thirty-eight hours, including
stops. For the present the 'steamships
which will be placed in service will be of
a carrying capacity of 3,000 tons. A daily
service is in contemplation, and the
steamship service will be a sort of trunk
line for a steamboat service that will tap
all the country lyinp between Washing
ton and Norfolk. Besides Washington
and Norfolk, it is planned that Rich
mond. Alexandria and Newport News
will benefit from the service.
? To Build Many Wharves.
The steamships will make only four
stops between Washington and Norfolk,
but these particular stopping places will
be points of assemblage for passengers
and freight brought by steamboats from
other points on the Potomac and adjacent
rivers.
"The Potomac river." said Mr. Living
stone, "bPing 125 miles long, presents an
immense territory on either side which
is now largely without modern facilities
for traveling or- sending to market. We
are building wharves at many points, and
our steamboats will be like local trains
compared with the express service afford
ed by the steamships.
"At the present time much of the coun
try on both sides of the Potomac may
be compared with remote mountain dis
tricts, for steamboats pass up and down
the river for miles and miles without
touching, and to get from some places to
Washington takes as long as going from
New York to Omaha.
Great Outlet for Farm Products.
"We believe that if the eastern shore
of Maryland can produce 4,000,000 barrels
of potatoes as it did last year the coun
try on both sides of the Potomac, which
has practically the same sort of soil, can
make a proportionately good' ^.yield of
sikillar products. Experts from the Agri
cultural Department have been going
through the country showing the farm
ers what are the products most adapted
to the soil and more scientific methods
of cultivation. W. B. EmTnert, our vice
president and traffic manager, has made
a careful study of the situation and the
method of operation has been planned
with reference to the needs of each* sec
tion that will be ministered to."
MUNYONS REUNITED.
Reconciliation Effected Between
Doctor and His Wife.
NEW YORK. November 24.?James M.
Munyon made the announcement last
evening that reconciliation had taken
place between himself and Mrs. Munyon,
who entered suit for divorce last June.
"We are living together happily again,"
l>e said, "and there is not the slightest
trouble. There was only a slight es
fVangement. anyway, and that has be
come one of the now forgotten incidents
of the past."
Mrs. Munyon said that she had forgot
ten all unfortunate differences and that
they were entirely reconciled and happy.
Their home at 54th street and Columbia
avenue has been newly fitted up and was
reopened this week. ? The divorce suit, it
was stated, was not withdrawrr until a
few days ago. when Mrs. Munyon was
seen in public clinging to the arm of Mr.
Munyon apparently as happy as on the
day of her marriage.
Mrs. Munyon was Pauline Louise Neff
Metzgar. Mr* Munyon married her in
Jersey City in April of last year, follow
ing a romantic courtship in Florida,
where Mr. Munyon has a handsome villa.

FIVE MILES OF CANAL OPEN
STEAMSHIPS USING PORTION
OF PACIFIC ENTRANCE.
Daily Operations Between Miraflores
Locks and Deep Water in
Panama Bay.
Five miles of the Panama canal at the
Pacific entrance are open to 'navigation.
This includes the channel from the point
in the Bay of Panama where the water
is forty-five deep at mean tide to the
wharves at Balboa. Steamships plylnp
between San Francisco and Panama and
the west coast ports of South America
and Panama use this part of the canal
dally. The . new channel from Balboa
wharf to the forty-five-foot line was
opened in February of the present year
?by the Pacific .Mail steamship Newpoi^,
and ships drawing not over thirty feet
of water can use this channel at high
tide at the present time. The work in
this section is not yet finished, although
the channel is in use. .From the wharf
to deep water or the forty-five-foot line
the channel is now its full width and
thirty feet deep at mean tide, where it is
shallowest, and through the greater part
of its length It has a depth of fifty feet
; below mean tide.
Under the present plans the rock dredg
I ing at%the Pacific entrance will stop about
two miles above Balboa wharf. Excava
. tion in the section between this point
and the south end of Miraflores locks
will be done by three methods: (1) The
ladder dredge Marmot will make a pre
liminary out on the west side of the canal

ROOSEVELT FOR GOVERNOR
ANTI-HUGHES BOSSES ABE
BOOHING HIM.
All Agree He Could Be Elected, But
Will He Run Is the
Question.
N'EW YORK, November 24.?According
to ex-Gov. Benjamin B. Odell, a Rooae
velt gubernatorial boom is the next num
ber on the republican program. The *
Roosevelt boom, according to Mr. Odell,
is now being nursed along under cover
by Republican State Chairman Timothy
L. Woodruff, William Barnes, jr., repub
lican boss of Albany, and others of their
colleagues in the republican machine
whose hostility to Gov. Hughes is m
pronounced as that of Mr. Woodruff and
Mr. Barnes.
"I have this information on such au
thority that I cannot dispute it." Mr.
Odell said to a fried on Monday evening,
just before he departed for his home in
Newburg.
"Do you think Mr. Roosevelt can get
the nomination?" the former governor
was asked.
"In the present state of affairs." said
Mr. Odell. "he can get it by lifting hia
little finger.
Republican State Chairman Woodruff
was asked about Roosevelt for governor.
"While I have no knowledge of any
such plan, and while I have received no
authentic information to the effect that
Mr. Roosevelt would be willing to run."
said Mr. Woodruff, "I should say that
ifrhe will accept the nomination he will be
nominated, and if nominated he will be
elected. And I will further say that his
nomination and election would be of the
greatest advantage to the republican party
in the state of New York."
Some of the Other Candidates.
There are other candidates for the re
publican nomination for governor up
| state, much more after the heart of the
machine leaders who now are credited
with nursing a Roosevelt gubernatorial
boom. For . instance, there are Lieut.
Gov. Horace White, who has been active
ly groomed for gubernatorial honors, and
Speaker James W. Wadsworth, jr.. of the
assembly, who was actively in the gu
bernatorial race last year and undoul t
edly would liave gotten the nomination
had it not been for the message from
Oyster Bay -which, as a matter of na
tional expediency, directed the nomina
tion of Mr. Hughes.
The greatly reduced majority by which
Speaker Wadsworth was re-elected and
the defeat of practically every one of his
lieutenants who ran for office eliminates
him as a possible candidate, and the fil
ing among the republican leaders, fre
quently expressed in conversation with
their friends,, that nothing short of an
extraordinary candidate can save the
state to their party next fall, has tended
to eliminate every candidate so far men
tioned, for they are all of the boss-domi
nated variety.
With Col. Roosevelt as a candidate for
governor the leaders feel that issues
wouldn't cut much of a figure, and that
a republican victory would be assured.
Another purpose, pleasing to State
Chairman WoodrufT, would be served
also by planting Mr. Roosevelt in the
governor's chair. It would eliminate him
as a competitor for the 1'nited States
senatorshlp, to be filled when Senator
Chaunce^ Depew's term expires in 1911.
