NEW IORK, Sept. 4. (Special.)
One of the many picturesque featfl
which the suffraee advoaates have
been performing recently was the car
rying of a "torch of freedom" through
New York State, displaying it at meet
ings where appeals for the cause were
made. The torch is not to be lighted
till women have the vote. Saturday
the New York suffragists went out on
n tug and met the suffragettes from
New Jersey, also on a tug. and. with
much ceremony, transferred the torch
to Mrs. A. Vail AVinkle, representing
the New Jersey followers of the cause,
who will carry the emblem through hei
tatc.
Three years after the death of John
Arbuckle his family gave notice of the
closing of the "deep sea hotel" which
he established. The hotel is on a boat,
which is moored to one of the city's
docks. It was planned at first to Iiuva
the boat go out to sea on hot nights,
but this plan was abandoned. The boat
was the dwelling of girl clerks who
receive small salaries, and one could
live there for $2.S0 a week in a dor
mitory, or for $4 a week in a private
room. No one was accepted as a lodger
who earned more than $6 a week. The
botel has never paid expenses.
The eighth annual conference of Gov
ernors opened in the Senate chamber
of tile Statehoue at Boston. About 30
Governors and 15 or more ex-CJovernors
gathered there. One of the most im
portant questions which came up for
discussion was the policy of prepared
ness and defense. The interest of the
state executives in the military and
naval defenses of the Union were in
creased by several features of the con
ference. One of these was a parade
and review of the entire Massachusetts
State Militia. Another was a cruise
through Boston harbor aboard the Wy
oming in company with Secretary Dan
iels, and a naval review of part of the
Atlantic fleet, which also went through
a series of battle maneuvers.
A picturesque scene was witnessed at
the mosque at Woking, near London,
when a large number of Mohammedans,
pricinpally British Indian troops, as
sembled for prayer. Each worshiper
bows with his face to the east, the
Mohammedan Mecca.
The wreck of the Tiutler brick yards,
the oldest in the State of Texas, was
caused by the hurricane which swept
Houston. The storm piled up millions
of dollars in property wreckage before
It had spent its fury on Houston and
ought other Texas cities.
A large force of soldiers Is kept at
Kl Paso in readiness to be dispatched
to any point on the Mexican border
needing protection from bandits.
In the plans now on foot to strengthen
the defense of the United States, no
other factor plays so important a part
w the equipping of the military and
naval division of the United States with
machine guns. By comparison it Is in
teresiing to note that one man and one
of these machine guns, which fires with
such rapidity that Its shots cannot be
counted, can do more effective work
tban l'JO men equipped with the regula
tion Army rille of the present time.
Though military authorities admit the
destructive value of the machine gun.

Almost with the neatness of clock
work the new 250-foot double-decked
railroad craw span weighing 1400 tons
slipped into place in the new Harlem
River bridge of the Interborough Rapid
Transit Company's Third-avenue line.
ew lork, August 22. The span was
built on piles near the Manhattan shore

MOONLIGHT DIPS POPULAR
Hazel Dawu Breaks Atlantic City
Kecord With Swim at 2 A. M.
ATUANTIC CITT. N. J.. Aug. 30. The
population barometer of this gay city
jumped airily to the 400.000 mark re
cently, and the great Wooden Way was
jammed with the holiday host. and. de
spite the charred, block-long monument
of the disastrous fire, it was a lane of
oeauty. a ribbon of color, flashing, yet
subdued.
Fashion's strangest whims manifested
themselves as always, but most distinc
tive and newest of all was the Mexican
influx, for in .the make-up of many a
fetching maid's bonnet some were out
right Mexican, and those who did go so
far as to wear conical hats, of rough
straw, without a single bit of adorn
ment, got all the attention, they strove
to get.
But moonlight cavorting in the briny
is the only real "craze" of the resort.
In fact, since the custom started, its
devotees have grown so many that one
bathhouse proprietor. noted for his
astuteness, has decided to keep his place
open all night. Poke fun at him you
may. but how could Miss Hazel Dawn,
the musical comedy star, who made the
"Pink Lady's'" fame synonymous with
her own. have taken a dip at 2 A. M.
the other morning, if this purveyor of
costumes hadn't-been on the job?
Miss Dawn and others, whose names
sear the sky along Broadway, often
drop down to acquire tips on the trend
of clothes. This particular night, or
morning, she startled the sleepy. clerk
of her hotel by slamming a bag on ttie
counter and saying on the run:
"Take care of my jewels, please, un
til I get back. I'm going to take a
bath at 2 o'clock in the morning and give
Broadway something to talk about."

was only a few minutes off. Only, her
unusual vitality had kept her alive
after tVtA a iHonf "I'll (olra Hav Vtnm..
I said the son. Her wounds were quickly
dressed, and Ginsburg signed a paper
releasing the hospital from further re
sponsibility. A few minutes after
reaching home the aged woman died.
Mrs, Ginsburg was struck by Gir-
ard avenue car while returning from a
bakery near her home. She evidently
failed to see the car. and before the
motor-man, Edward Olsen, 313U Rich
mond street, could apply the brakes
she was under the wheels.
At a hearing before Magistrate Beat
on at City Hall, Olsen was held to await
the action of the coroner.
