LaFRANCO*B COMPOUND.« MONDAY, HUDSON-FULION CELEBRATION IS NEARLY READY Social Season Incident to It Is Already Fairly Under Way In New York Town. MANY River Pageant, Led By Half Moon and Clermont, Will Be New Record of Splendor. Associated Press. New York, Sept. 20. —The Freneh ar mored cruisers Justice, Liberte and Ve rite, representing the French navy at the Hudson-Fulton celebration, arrived at this port today and while the stated program mentions no event until next Saturday, the social season incident to the celebration may be said to be fairly under way. The cruiser representing the Dutch navy is already in port, the British squadron is expected this afternoon and other foreign warships will be arriving daily. Official representatives of for eign governments are also arriving. Zeia Pasha, a special envoy from the sultan of Turkey to inform President Taft of the formation of the new regime in the Ottoman empire, will be the Turkish representative at the celebra tion. He arrived yesterday. The large Netherland commission, consisting of men and women, are due today on the steamship New Amsterdam from Hol land. The American squadron of warships, which alone will constitute the largest fleet ofl the United States war vessels ever at this port, will arrive tomor row and anchor in the bay off Staten Island. The Half Moon, a replica of the little vessel in which Henry Hudson explored the harbor and river 300 years ago, has been completely rigged at the Brooklyn navy yard and during the week its crew, dressed in the old Dutch costume, will rehearse the navigation of the odd craft so as to have it in per fect control during the celebration. The Clermont, which is a reproduction of Fulton's application of steam energy to water craft, has had its successful trial, and this week will entertain invited and special visitors. Members of the celebration commis sion believe there will be not less than one million and possibly 2,500,000 visit ors in the city next week. During the celebration of the return of Admiral Dewey from the Philippines it was esti mated that fully 1,000,000 persons wit nessed the naval parade on the Hudson river. For this coming event it is ex pected that crowds will far exceed that. All of the rooms in many of the ho tels have been reserved already and there is an indication that visitors who do not secure reservations in advance will be considerably inconvenienced if not actually compelled to seek sleeping quarters in private houses. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 20. —By Presi dent Taft’s request no attempt will be made to run street cars in Omaha dur ing his visit here. Every lady who desires to keep up her attractive appearance, while at the theater, attending receptions, when shopping, while traveling and on all occasions should carry in her purse a booklet of Gouraud’s Oriental Beauty Leaves. This is a dainty little booklet of exquisitely perfumed powdered leaves which arc easily removed and applied to the skin. It is invaluable when the face becomes moist and flush ed and is far superior to a powder puff as it does not spill and soil the clothes. It removes dirt, soot and grease from the face, imparting a cool, delicate bloom to the complexion. Sent any where on receipt of five cents in stamps or coin. F. T.

He can go from his S 3 bustling office to the quiet atmosphere of his home, and there drift away into a new country, the country “where speech ends.” There he can forget “John M Doe” and “Richard Roe” and their kin, and listen to the clearer voices of RS Wagner and Beethoven, of Grieg and MacDowell. or delve in the melodies of his favorite operas.

Special Dispatch Washington, Sept. 20.—Forty five thousand enumerators out of the esti mated grand total of 65,000 will be en gaged April 15 next in gathering the required information concerning agri culture for the thirteen decennial United States census. Director Durand purposes making every effort to se cure progressive farmers and crop re porters for these places. His action is based upon the recommendations of Chief Statistician LeGrand Powers and the advisory board of special agents composed of professors of economics and farm experts who have been as sisting in the formulation of the schedule of inquiries concerning farm operations, and equipment. It is be lieved that the selection of this class of men, already familiar with statistical methods of securing data and reporting it in comprehendible form, will add greatly to the efficiency of the census and to the scientific value of the in formation obtained. Director Durand does not anticipate any difficulty in procuring enumerators of this kind as there are in every state of the union hundreds of crop reporters acting for the department of agriculture, repre sentatives of state boards of agricul ture, etc. — ♦«»- -——- Your complexion as well as your tem per is rendered miserable by a disor dered liver.
