United States Consul Mason, at Mar

under date Of August 18th, on the cholera

Total deaths from i'll causes during the
same days: lO2, IFS, %, a, IS, 10, 90.
This, considering that the normal death
rate OF Marseilles is less than 30 per day,

.
Among the new French
dress-stuffs are serges and
other fabrics figured with
plush and loops Of silk and
wool. The under-cloths are
plain if you look at them; you
do not think of them; they
lose their separate force. They
are more than a background;
they are part of the picture.
The roughness Of form is
softened with quiet music of
color. Beautiful rather than
strong; of every degree Of
richness.
There are little TUFTS Of
bright silk plush, bright in a
score Of unexpected ways, SO
close together as to seem the
fabric itself instead of its deco
ration.
There are bars of loops and
plush; broken bars; bars of
cross-wise bars; now silk, now
wool; now colors contrasting,
now blending. The bars are
the fabric; the under-cloth is
lost in them.
There are plaids of plush
on cloth. Fine lines of plush
and color cross other fine lines
of plush and color. Is it pos
sible that few light lines of
plush and color can turn plain
cloth into such a network Of
beauty? 1t is a network of
beauty.
There are banks Of flowers
on spreading lawns; embroid-
cry boucle embroidery.
There is no stopping-place;
or rather the stopping-place
today wherever we stop is not
the stopping-place tomorrow.

noe CHOLERA
Very Prevalent at she Chicago stock
Yards.

CHICAGO, Sept. during the past
week the health inspector condemned 40
cholera stricken hogs to the tanks. Yes
terday in slaughter-house at the yards
he condemned 80 that had been killed and
dressed and We're all ready for market.
The hogs were the property of various
scalpers who do business in the yards
The heaviest weighed nearly 200 pounds
and the smallest was only 80 pounds in
weight
The pulled and discolored flesh inside
and out, and the sickening smell of the
carcasses made discovery an easy matter.
Cholera has never been SO prevalent
among hogs at the stock yards ms
it has been this season, and scalpers il is
alleged, instead of trying to stamp out the
disease by refusing to purchase, deliber-
utely buy the stock in the hope that they
can eyade the health inspector.

VNcESNEs ISD., Sept. 5.A thorough

that some Of the bondsmen of the
trustees petitioned to be released.
There are three trustees involved in this
matter, Charles H. Brown of Washington

and John Clarke of Barr township. 1t is
said the trustees would ssuelong time war
rants ON their townships drawing 8 per cent
interest. These warrants or orders arc the
same as II note made payable at bank, and
ON their face show that they are executed

these warrants. 1t Is said that the three
trustees mentioned have been practising
this game to perfection and scores of these
warrants have been issued, put upon the
market and gohbled up by money lenders.
The township trustees are supposed TO have
gone TO Canada.
Some time will elapse before the full eX-

DIR. Stephen H. Tying, ST., whose

sense of the comparative sllddrmess with
which great changes have been wrought
to read thut DIR. Tying, in the first years
of his ministerial career, Erode his cir

1929 TO 1916, he was in Philadelphia,

he WAS relieved by his own request of The

emeritus he sustained close relations with
his congregation up TO the close of his

We would not like to think that there
are any more such heirtless monsters i'll
Delaware as that Seaford farmer, whose
cruelty to his little bound boy has been
exposed and, so far as the law permits,
righted by the Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Children. II is enough to
make any honest mans blood boil TO
reflect that during those inordnately
hot days of Inst month, when
very existence was II burden, that poor
little boy was compelled by his inluman
and parsimonious master to work in the
corn field clad in but fragment of D
shirt which afforded his back no protec-
ton whatever from the blistering heat of
the sun. Nor were his suilerings less
from the swarms of mosquitoes which
were so numerous that one of the wit
nesses said he could hardly venture to stop
his horse while driving along the roads.
While we rejoice to see the little measure
of punishment which our statutes provide
meted out to this barharous slave driver,
and can realize that even that punish
ment--the imposition of fine must
make his mean little apology for soul
writhe in anguish, We regret that he cam

to hear the proceedings. Members Of

and jostled by the crowd on their
way into the court room. In the court
there was a compact mass of people, in
Guiding number of reporters, many
members of the Salvation Army and quite
n sprinkling of keepers Of disreputable
houses. Mrs. Jarrett sat in the prisoners
dock while Mr.. Stead and Bramwell
Booth had seats in front of the dock,
Mr.. Poland, solicitor for the treasury,
opened the case for the crown with n
lengthy speech in which he gave n de-
scription of how the girl was obtained
from her mother, the outrages TO which
she had been subjected after she was in
stalled in Madam Maury's establishment
and the ill-treatnent she had received
from the time she left her mother until
she was recovered and taken home. Mrs.
Jarrett during Mr.. Poland's statement sat
with calm deineanor, her eyes closed,

unconcerned, smiling occasionally and ut
times denying Mr.. Poland's allegations.
At the conclusion of his address to the

fed Mrs. Jarrett us the woman
