10 be shoOerJ'.
In the matter of Mems
Shirts to measure we mean to
stand in Philadelphia as Chav-
ret, Pimbert, and Doucet stand
in Paris, and as Beal and In
man, and Browning, of Bond
street, stand in London. We
have had this thought in mind
for years. Now the realization
has come If any Shirt cutter
in town knows the necessities
and nicities of the business,
Mr.. Chas. T. Fem is the man.
He has had twenty FIVE years
experience right here in Phila-
delphia. The work he does is
as certain to be right as a gold
piece is when it drops from a
die at the mint. Mr.. Fem is
with us; the facilities of the
house are at his command.
OF course there can be but
one result-the art of Shirt
making in its highest possible
development. A trial order
will show J ou what we can do.

NOTES FOR GARDENERS.

PLANT the garden SO that you can
have regular succession of vegetables.
Plant small fruit with the same end in
view.
PANsIEs are hardy, and a few plants
set out in bed will thiclxen to COM
pact cluster and produce large flowers
until late in the season.
Rose bushes thrive better by being
well cut out and the old wood removed.
For Towering plants wood mold makes
an excellent fertilizer, but it should be
used freely.
[ THOUGH not considered sure remedy,
sthe free use of lime around cabbage
plants viii assist greatly in keeping the
maggot away. Scattered literally over
onions, lime checks the ravages of the
onion fly.
Work between the rows Of the straw
berries, keep the weeds down and the
soil loose. Plant raspberries early, so
as to give them q good start If the
canes are to make good growth give
them manure In the Hill.
THOSE who desire to ssbag" grapes
that Is, to cover them with paper bags
to prevent grape rot-should remember
to do it as soon e the grapes are visible.
The mischief, IL done 1T al, is done in
the earliest stages Of grape growth

blowing up the churches, while Brown

DEATH OF SENATOR BECK.

He Suddenly Falls Dead After Slight Ex-
ertion It . Railway Station In Washing-
ton.
WASHINGTON, May 5.-Senator James
b Beck. of Kentucky, dropped dead in
the Baltimore & Potomac station at four
o'clock Saturday afternoon. He had
just arrived on the limited express from
New York and was accompanied by his
daughter, Mrs Goodloe, wife of Major
Goodloe, of the United States marine
corps He got of the train with the
rest OF the passengers and walked with
his daughter the entire length of the
platform and through the gate leading
to the platform proper. He seemed to
walk with an effort and to breathe with
labor. These symptoms were the usual
accompaniments of exertion with him
for some months past.
After passing into the station, the
Senator and daughter were joined by his
private secretary who had brought q
carriage to take him home. A few
words were exchanged with regard to
the care of baggage when the Senator
suddenly turned pale and with the re-
mark: 81 feel dizzy" fell into the
arms of his companions They could
not support his weight and he dropped
to the floor where he swooned away.
His daughter was naturally alarmed
and screamed for help. Willing hands
were numerous, as the station was
crowded at the time, and the limp and
helpless body was borne into the Office
OF the station master, about twenty
feet away. Great excitement ensued,
and although it was apparent that the
Senator was dead, half dozen messen-
gers were Immediately dispatched for
physicians, and all the remedies at hand
were applied, but to no effect. DE-.
Chamberlain was the first physician to
arrive. and he was soon followed by DR..
Wells and others, but there was nothing
for them to do except to examine the
body to determine the cause of death.

The question of prohibiting further
interments in Westminster Abbey has
now assumed an aspect which promises
the success of those who have long be-
1ieved that the practice should cease. A
commission has been appointed to con-
slider the matter of selecting special
place for the actual burial of distin-
guished persons, which shall be under
the exclusive control of the abbey, and
interments therein regarded as con-
ferring the same degree Of honor upon
the memory of the dead as burial in the
abbey has hitherto done. In addition to
this Suitable memorial will be depos-
tied in the abbey testifying to the worth
of the deceased and indicating his rest
ing place. The plans Of the commission
also contemplate the ultimate removal
to the new place of all the bodies now
resting In the abbey.

A PARTY of Chinese who attempted to
smuggle themselves into the United
States from Lower California got lost on
the desert and had a terrible experience.
They wandered about aimlessly for
several days and suffered greatly.
One of the Mongolians was youth of
fourteen years. His sufferings drove
him crazy, and, in his rawlings, he inn
agined the blistering sand was water
and eagerly filed his parched mouth
with it. This only added to his suffer-
ings, and he finally died. The others
at last reached the railroad and were
rescued.
