FASHIONABLE COLOR FOR FALL GOWNS

BROWNS, from the pale, delicate tint
that Is almost yellow, to the rich
dark tone that Is almost red, and
every intervening shade, to blend with
all the tints of Autumn leaves, will be
the prevailing color of the ultra-fashion-eble
Fall gowns. Purple, too, In rich
warmth of coloring, will be popular, and
there Is a new shade of light blue that
will be seen In combination with black
Ulk braid on the military suits.
Six smart new -Fall costumes, covering
all the newest styles in the stock of a
Fifth-street shop whose tauyer has just
returned from New York with the Aut
umn patterns, are shown In the accom
panying photographs posed for The Or
tgonlan. yrontv and back views of one of the
very swaggerest. of purple broadcloth,
with elaborate silk braid and frogglng
In the same rich tint, are shown In No.
1 and No. 2. The long lines, close-fitting
from shoulder line to hip, which will
tnark ail the Fall costumes, are displayed
In this pattern, and the skirt is made
In the knife-platting pattern, with full
ness carried below the hip line, which
will be the vogue through the Autumn
and Winter. A natty touch of silk em
broidery work Is used at the front of
the collar, giving a narrow strip of vest
ing on either side.
One of the smartest fads of the Fall
will be the military or "drum - major"
suit, which is shown in No. 3. This is
of pale blue broadcloth with black silk
tirald and frogglng and broad strips of
the black silk braid outline the seams at
the back, forming a seml-clrcle about
the arms, and giving an added touch of
smartness around the bottom of the
aklrt.
A variation from the three-quarter
length coat, which will prevail. Is shown
in the tight-fitting, short jacket pictured
In No. 4. This suit is of fine gray cloth,
of severest pattern, with no trimming or
adornment other than the cloth-covered
buttons down the front. The severity of
this pattern Is toned down by the sh.oul-der-breadth
plaits which give width to
the shoulders and style to the costume.
A pretty street suit of mixed goods Is
shown in No. 5. Stitched straps for out
lining the seams of the coat and trim
ming around the bottom of the skirt,
such as are shown here, will be popular
In the costumes of mixed materials, no
other trimming, save the velvet of the
collar being required. .
Most striking of all the costumes
shown is No. 6. entirely of leather brown
broadchoth. The 'velvet collar Is of ex
actly the same tint, and both coat and
skirt are without a touch of trimming.
The three-quarter length coat fits close
ly at both back and front, and the plaits
which provide the fullness of the skirt
are carried almost to the knees. The
seams are heavily felled and stitched.
No. 7 shows a natty suit of mixed goods
in brown, close-fitting and cut with the

SOME PRINCELY SALARIES PAID IN AMERICA
, - Reward' fop Services Does Not Always Seem to Be In Proportion to the Work Done.
WHATEVER may be the final form
of the readjustment of the social
organization, for which the twen
tieth century Is getting ready, the present
time will go down in history as the age of
the world's greatest salaries.
The enormous salaries of the present
re a mushroom outgrowth of an era of
concentration which has followed the
specialization of industry and the rival
ries of a period of remarkable prosperity.
They afford the anomaly that while they
are greatly in excess of the largest sala
ries ever before paid in fields of endeavor
other than the purely commercial and in
the commercial, except at the very top
present day salaries In general are
smaller, both relatively and In their pur
chasing power, than they were a quarter
of a century ago.
Moreover, the men of intellect and edu
cation, those who are superior in de
veloped capacity, in Industry and moral
ity, those who are most important to so
ciety, work for pay which the masters of
modern finance would consider insufficient
for the expenses of running their auto
mobiles. The pay of college professors
averages about $2000 a year. Civil Service
Commissioners of the United States, do
ing work of great responsibility, draw
J3500 a year. The biologist of the Govern
ment, with an international reputation,
receives $2700. The experts who codify the
Federal penal laws are paid only $M0O.
The pay of United States Cabinet offi
cers Is only SSOOO a year; and it Is Inter
esting to note that to accept such a po
sition the present Secretary of State, Mr.
Root, gave up a law practice estimated
, J
three-quarter lengthy coat. A smart ef-I
feet Is given by the running of black I
as worth $100,000 yearly. On the other
hand; Paul Morton resigned as Secretary
of the Navy In order to accept a $60,000
salary in New York, and John Findley
Wallace gave up his position as chief en
gineer of the Panama Canal because of a
similarly tempting offer from a commer
cial corporation.
It probably is a safe statement that the
average yearly Income of the lawyers in
New York City does not evceed $2000 a
year. Yet the Income of not a few runs
as high as $100,u00, and in some cases
more. The highest incomes of physi
cians, which formerly exceeded those of
the best paid lawyers, now fall far short
of the earnings of the latter.
One of the largest single fees ever paid
to a lawyer was the $1,000,000 which James
B. Dill, of New York, received for set
tling the disputes which arouse between
Andrew Carnegie and Henry C. Frick
over the transfer of the properties
merged in the United States Steel Cor
poration. A fee only $200,000 less than Mr. Dill's
was paid to another New York lawyer,
William D. Guthrie, who received $800.
000 for breaking i.ie will of Henry B.
Plant, owner of the Plant system of
steamships, railways and hotels. The
Plant estate was valued at $24,000,000, the
widow's share of which was $8,000,000, and
this having been tied up in trust she en
gaged the lawyer to bring suit for its
release. His lee represented 10 per cent
of her share.
Joseph H. Choate, before his appoint
ment as Ambassador to Great Britain, re
ceived $200,000 for a single argument be
fore the United States Supreme Court,
the effect of which was that the Income
tax law was declared unconstitutional.

As Ambassador at London Mr. Choate's
salary was $17,500. '
Among other large fees of lawyers may
be mentioned $100,000 received by John E.
Parsons, of New York, for drawing . a
single deed, and $10,00 charged by D. B.
Hill for making a single argument In the
Molineaux case.
The human fear of death has long been
responsible for large fees to noted phy
sicians, and, a sin the case of lawyers,
doctors of ability but only local reputa
tion may work for years for less money
than one with a name may earn by a
single case. The fee of $30,000 and trav
eling expenses which were paid to Dr.
Adolph Lorenr,--of Vienna, to treat Lollta
Armour for congenital hip dislocation,
were much less ..ian have frequently
been paid abroad by royalty for various
royal ailments. King Edward. when
Prince of Wales, once paid a physician
$50,000 for four weeks' services.
The fee of $1000 which a Nejf York
dentist charged Prince Louis of' Batten
berg when the latter visited this country
with his fleet a year ago, was much com
mented upon. For a dentist's fee the sum
was undoubtedly large, but as compared
with some physicians' fees It looks insig
nificant. Probably the record for large
fees of this class Is held by Dr. Walter C.
Browning, of Philadelphia, who sent to
the executors of the estate of Senator C.
L. Magee a bill for $190,000. Explaining
his charge, Br. Browning said that his
ordinary charge for consultation in his
office Is $20 an hour, and outside the of
fice $40 an hour. These rates, he said.
Senator Magee had voluntarily agreed to
double.

University, noted for Its output of fihy-

sicians, has contributed largely to the list
of big fees for doctors. Professor How
ard A. Kelly, of Johns Hopkins Hospital,
received $21,000 for 21 days' treatment of
the wife of a wealthy mine owner. Pro
fessor A. McLane Tiffany, of the same
city, was paid $10,000 for performing an
operation on a New York patient, and
Professor J. W. Chambers received $5000
for operating on a deputy warden who
had been stabbed by a prisoner. A Chi
cago physician. Dr. C. T. Parks, charged
$10,000 for a single operation.
In New York City there probably are
four or five physicians whose practice,
mostly with the wealthy, represents an
annual Income of $100,000 or more. Five
or six others earn from $50,Oou to $60,000,
and about 200 make from $10,000 to $40,000.
The average doctor gets from $2 to $4
for a visit out of his office, and charges
from $1 to $2 for writing a prescription
In his office.
The high water mark for presidents
of railroad companies is about $50,000 at
the present time, although L. F. Loree
received $100,000 as president of the Rock
Island system. In cases of some of these
officials, however, the salary as presi
dent does not represent the total of their
pay. Samuel Spencer, for example, who
Is J. P. Morgan's representative, re
ceives not only $50,000 a year as president
of the Southern Railroad, but has other
emoluments from offices held in smaller
lines which Mr. Morgan controls.
The salaries of presidents of banks,
even those in the largest" cities, are as a
rule very much less than the salaries of
railroad presidents. James Stlllman,
president of the National City Bank, of
New York, is paid only $25,000 a year. In
small towns the president of a bank re-
3
celves not more than $2000 to $5000. The
average salary of a cashier In a city
bank is $5000, while s. bookkeeper and
paying teller may expect only from $1200
to $2000. .
As compared with these modest salaries
for positions of much responsibility In
the banking business, the pay of the com
merciai drummer, whose chief req
uisites are a pleasing address and ability
to represent goods to the best advantage,
is remarkably large. The representatives
of some of the large wholesale houses of
New York earn on commission as much
as $25,000 a year, and their duties are
merely to keep customers in friendly re
lations with their firms in other words
to "be nice." The case, brought to light
by a lawsuit, of an agent in New York
for a certain wine company who received
$60,000 a year merely . for recommending
the wine among his society friends is in
poini.
The salary of Henry O. Havemeyer, the
head of the American Sugar Refining
company, is iS.ow a year, and, of course.
nis total income is much more than that
vviuiam J. Corey, tho president of the
United States Steel Corporation, receives
a salary of $100,000 a year, and the chair
man of the company's board of dlrenrn
Is paid a like amount. Frederic H. Eaton,
the president of the American Car &
Foundry Company, gets $60,000 a year.
The payrolls of the United States Steel
Corporation contain the names of about
167,000 employes, drawing an aggregate of
$125,000,000 a year in salaries and wages.
Of the 167.0UO employes, only 12 receive
salaries larger than $20,000 a year, and 62
get more than $10,000. Approximately, the
same facts appear In the figures of the
payrolls of the Standard Oil Company.
The payroll of the United States Gov
ernment carried a total last year of about
$250,000,000. the civil service salaries
amounting to $174,000,000. Among the
anomalies which stand forth from the
detailed figures of the salaries paid. It
Is Interesting to note that not only are
Cabinet officers paid less than some as
sistant engineers at Panama, but the
Chief Justice of the United States re
ceives less than does the Consul-General
at London.
The $50,000 of the President Is the high
est salary which the United States pays,
and the only ones which approach it in
amount are the $30,000 salary of Theodore
P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama Com
mission, and the $25,000 a year received
by John F. Stevens, the chief engineer
of the canal.
Next on the list of best-paid men
working for the Nation Is Admiral
Dewey, who receives $13,500 a year, wheth
er at sea or ashore, which amount, paren

Not long ago the Biological Survey De

ornithologist whose special work would
be to examine expertly the contents of

must know botany, must know entomolo

Latin and Greek. For this amount of

LAW AND THE EVIDENCE
Jury's Verdict Reviewed In the Re
cent Kalkofen Case.
PORTLAND, Sept. 14. (To th Editor.)
Inasmuch u attention has been called to
the verdict of one of the Juries of the Cir
cuit Court now in session, may I be allowed
a word? Judge Fraeer la a grand, good mam
and in connection with the Juvenile Court
Is doing & moat excellent work. Me baa his
prejudices as well as other humana, but
whatever his prejudlcea may be, X bellev
they are on the right side.
Every one knows, who baa ever been a
Juror, or has attended a session of the
court, that each Juror Is examined Indi
vidually, as to his having; formed an opin
ion, and as to bis ability to treat the case
fairly, and decide It according to the law
and the evidence, so that it is often difficult
to get a Jury that can meet the require
ments. Whatever a Juror's own opinion may
oe, he is hampered by the oath which he
has taken and is sometimes obliged to bring
In a verdict contrary to, or at least Quite
different f rofn the teachings of his con
science. This is why so many people object
to serving as jurors, and. If drawn, get ex
cused if there Is any possible way of doing
so.
The professional Juror is the man who
has succeeded in suppressing his conscience
so many times in this way, that it has be
come more or less seared. In the Kalkofen
case, there seemed to be more evidence that
could hae been brought in to substantiate
the evidence given, and which might have
resulted In a conviction. I am inclined to
think that some of the Jurors, possibly all
of them, believed the prisoner to be guilty,
but evidently they did not find evidence
enough to convict, as they were out less
than two hours. The Jury referred to was
made up of a superior class of men, very
much above the average, and no doubt
would have brought In a verdict of "guilty
as charged," if they could have done so in
accordance with the law and the evidence,
as they were sworn to do.
Our laws are good and should be main-

Xo Roads In Liberia.
Philadelphia Record.
Liberia, on the west coast of Africa,
is one of the hardest countries in the
world to travel in. The American consul-general
to that country writes as
follows: "The absence of railroads and
of every other vehicular convenience
for travel In Liberia is a serious draw
back to the development and prosperity
of the Republic. For this reason very
few Llberlans venture into the interior.
Except soldiers and traders, the Ll
berlans are absolutely Ignorant of the
interior of their country. We found
no roads entitled to be called such
leading- Into the interior, either to or
from native towns. They are all
crooked and labyrinthine. They are
made crooked to mislead the enemy
and to render his approach to a town
difficult durlntr a tribal war."
