then at Phuebe's handkerchief-ex~

Feminine Paris in a Rage at Worth.

III. Worth, the world-renowned cou~
turier, has created stir in his qual~
ity as president Of the syndicate of
dressmakers. He has addressed the
following circular to all members of
the syndicate:
''FOr the sake Of common protection
it is decided that a list shall be prints
ed of all the male and female custom
ers who by malice aforethought or by
force majeure have abused the conf
dence of dfessmakers." This list de
suspicion comprises three categories.
Category A includes all escrocs and
French foreign customers utterly in
solvent.
Category B includes all who out Of
pure vanity order dresses that they
are unable to e1y for.
Caregory G includes those who, in
spite of solid fortunes, tease and worry
dressmakers by never paying their
bills until compelled to do 50 by the
costly machinery Of law
In category q there are the names
Of 81 princesses, 9 duchesses, 73 coun-
tesses, II actresses and 40 shining
lights Of the demi-monde who possess
hotels of their own.
Owing to the indIscretions of some
Of the minor dressmakers this edlct
OF the great Fashion King has become
an open secret in all the Partisan
clubs and salons.
The list has already caused the most
terrible domestic complications and
promises at the end of the summer
holidays to make the Jaw courts the
place Of ultra-fashlonable rendezvous.

a CHASTITY Sight.

A little after 10 o'clock on Satur-
day night, one Of the fifty bathers in
the Natatorium at Memphis, touched
something soft with his foot, and on
diving discovered a human body ly~
ing on the bottom. lie at once gave
the alarm and in a moment the vast
hall was a scene of the widest ex-
c1tement
Several persons swan at once to
the spot. the deepest in the pool,
where the water was fully eleven feet
deep. The kody was so heavy that
the first attempt was unsuccessful. the
dead weight slipping from the grasp
Of the bather and sinking again to the
bottom. Mr.. Dusebury, an emplove,
at once dived, and Selling the body
raised it to the surface. As he did
so, a volume of water dyed with blood
rushed from the mouth and nostrils,
and when it was laid upon the floor
which surrounds the pool, a bloody
foam 0azed from the ears. When
ever the body was moved there was a
copious flow of blood, which formed a
pool upon the floor. There was 10
difficulty in identifying the corpse, for
such it was, several persons instantly
recognizing 1t as that of Joseph En-
erich. youth about Is years of age.
DIR. Graves, who was present, was cal
led for and did everything in his power
to restore consciousness, but without
success. He made a careful eXami-
nation of the head, back ana chest
but found nothing more serious than
slight abrasion upon the forehead
aboye the left eye. It was 50 faint
that it would not have been noticed
under ordinary circumstances. but
DR.. Graves was not willing to assert
that the blow which inflicted it was
not powerful enough to cause uncon-
sciousness. Mr.. Joseph Uhl, the god
father of young Emerich, asserts that
he will use all means in his power to
bring to light the cause of his death,

A Thrilling Experience.

Miss Florence Warden, while on
the stage, used frequently to tell of
an adventure she had met with when
quite young. When a girl of Is, she
answered an advertisement of a man
who wanted a governess for a child,
and who particularly specified that
the goyerness "must be young" This
was rather a suspicious specification,
but on inquiry the advertiser was
found to be man of good reputation
in his neighbOrhood. He explained
the peculiar advertisement by stating
that he had an invalid wife who was
OF gloomy temperament. The gov
erness was expected not only to le-
lieve the wife of the care of the child,
but also to endeavor to cheer her up.
After being installed, the -governess
discovered evidences that the wife
was predisposed to insanity,
A servant was set as a watch over
the wife, and she became a spy upon
the governess, because, as the gov
erness thought, the authority in the
house was deputed to her and taken
from the servant. Many mysterious
persons came and went; the master
and the servant moved around the
rooms noiselessly; the master did not
sleep in his own house, and the GOV
erness was put in room N the turret
fan above the ground, while the wife
Of whom the master was evidently
fond, was made to sleep in a cold,
close room like damp cell. The man
himself was a particularly winnisq
person, with literary, musical and ar
tistic tastes; a good painter and an
accomplished violinist, with a peculiar
habit Of locking himself IN his study
and playing fer hours at a time. The
governess fell in love with the man
ID spite Of the fact that he was mar
ried. and though she recognized hei
danger and once resolved to leaye th'
house, she was SO fascinated by hin
as TO be prevailed OH to remain.
Mysterious robberies were commit
ted in the uejghborhood, and the
master Of the house skillfuiiy directel
the pursuit Of the robbers.
He had planned a trip for his eiei
child to Italy in care Of the governes
who was to be chaperoned by hei

Ole and eseorted bY himself.

mother and escorted by himself
Circumstances directed the atten~
ton OF the governess to persons whom
she suspected Of the robberies, and She
joined her employer in directing pur-
suit Of the men.
Atlength they were caught through
information given by the governess,
and the leader Of the band was found
to be-her employer.
His wife proved to have long been
helpless victim to his iron will,
whom he had shut in cell Of room
to kill her gradually. The servant
had been his accemplice in numerous
forgeries; and the mysterious per
sons who went and came about the
house we're men who gave the master
information on which he planned and
executed some Of the most daring rob
berries.
The men were tried in London
about ten years ago amid the utmost
excitement, and he young lady was
the chief witness.
Some months ago a novel called
"The House on the Marsh" was pub
lished III London and later was repub~
lished here. Miss Florence Warden
has taken her remarkable story and
made a clever novel Of It? The char
acters are strongly and cleverly
drawn, and the interest is we'll sus-
tanned.

NO. 40.

The agent Of the Farmers Alliance
Of England, was sent TO this country
to study the cost Of wheat. He did it
in the thorough English fashion, and
reports that in Minnesota and Dakota
the total cost Of wheat-raising varies
from 40 to so cents per bushel, ac-
cording to the skill and facilities of
the farmer. The average normal
charge for transportation is Is cents
per bushel to Chicago, and like SUN
from Chicago to New York, to which
is added 10 cents for commissions all
the way through. His conclusion is
that wheat at 81 in New York, repre-
sents a profit to the Northwestern
farmers.

There was some excuse when the
country was new, and the first land
cleared was planted with fruit trees
for training tree-tops high, so as to be
out of the way of the horses in plow-

o'clock this afternoon while religious

penitentary three white prisoners es-

The progress made in agriculture,
within the memory of persons not yet
old, is marvellous. Fifty years ago
wooden mould board plows were al
most universally used in breaking up
land and in cultivating crops. Sick
les were often used for garnering the
wheat crop, and common cradles
we're thought to be such an improves
ment over sickles that nothing better
was wished for. All wheat was trod-
den out by horses or beaten out with
a fail. A good days work for
cradle was three acres of wheat or
fonr acres Of oats. With six horses
and six men 1t usually took six days
to tramp out a crop Of 300 bushels of
wheat and then it had to be winnowed.
Hay was cut with a scythe. The cuts
ting Of one acre Of heavy bay was a
good days work. There were but
few, if any, pitch forks made Of steel
or iron. A long stick forked at the
end with the points sharpened were
used IN throwing up hay, The hoes
in use were heavy and unwieldy; axes
we're often made at blacksmiths shops
aEd were stubby and generally Of
bad temper
Probably the greatest Improvements
made within that time is IN harvesting
machinery. One man with good
selt-binder reaper can now take care
of as much wheat as six men can cut
down with cradles and six more to
tie up. A steam thrasher with twelve
men will clean and bag 900 bushels
Of wheat a day. A man with a now
er and horse rake can harvest six
acres Of hay daily, the work Of twelve
men using the scythe and wooden hay
forks.
The improvementot implements for
the cultivation Of the corn crop has
also been wonderful. One man with
corn planter and a double shovel
plow can easily plant and cultivate
forty acres. Fifteen acres were con-
sidered a maximum crop for one man
fifty years ago.
The perfected agricultural machine
ry Of the present age has diminished
toh while il has increased production.
The farmer now rides where he
once walked; he greascs machinery
10 do his drudgery instead of drudging
HIMSELF his vigilance is quickened, but
his labor is reduced; he exercises his
mind more, but his body less. Ills
work is therefore more elevating, de-
+ pending more upon his intellectual
faculties, and less upon the rigidity Of
+ his muscles. Machinery indeed has
equaIized laljoron the farm. A man
weak IN body may now complete sue
cessfuIly in tie work OF the farm with
giant in strength.-American.
