FORGERY THIS TIME
Another of John Bardsley'o
Crimes Unearthed.
HE MADE A FRAUDULENT NOTE.
Signed the Name of q Firm Which Was
Not in Existence.
HE MADE A FRAUDULENT NOTE

The Pennsylvania Senate Continues Its
Investigation-The Testimony Cannot
All BE Printed, Else the Session Would
Last Several Observation-Disclosures of
the Attorney-G General
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 23.-Another one
of John Bardsley's forgeries came to
light yesterday. 1t is a note for s., 500
held by the Farmers and Mechanics
Bank, dated January 81, 1891, showing
that Bardsley carried on his villainy as
long as he possibly could. 1t would
seem that he had been in the habit of
forging notes, endorsing and then dis
counting them, and then redeeming or
extending them when due.
This note is signed with the name of
F. ]. Clamer & Co., and Endorsed John
Bardsley. The Farmers and Mechanics
Bank discounted it, and now Bardsley
being believed insolvent and a convict,
the supposed makers of the note have
been sued.
Several years ago there was such a
firm as F. j. Clamer &c Co., John Bards-
ley being the company. Ten years ago
it dissolved, selling all its good will to
the Elkins Manufacturing Company,
Bardsley dropping out entirely and
Clamer going with the new company.
The old firm name was the one selected
for use by Bardsley as being unknown
and less likely to cause trouble. Mr.
Clamer has already pronounced several
notes found as forgeries. The right to
sign that firm name ceased when the
Elkins Company came into existence.

THE INVESTIGATING SENATE.
Not All the Tes timOny is to be Printed
The Evid ence Read.

Not All the Testimony is to be Printed
The Evidence Read.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Oct. 23.-The SEN
ate discussed yesterday for several hours
a proposition to admit all the testimony
taken by the State Treasury and the
Philadelphia Councilmanic Investi-
eating Committees, which has not be-
fore been accepted as evidence.
The Attorney General stated, as the
result of a conference with the State
Printer and Superintendent of Public
Printing, that if all the testimony was
ordered to be printed the extra session
would not end for several months. A
number of Senators insisted that unless
they knew the character of the eviden CO
given by Auditor-General McCamant
and other witnesses in connection with
the charges made against that official,
they would not be in position to prop
erly pass on it.
Finally the proposition to admit the
large volume of testimony was modified
so as to admit a'portion of it, exclusi We
of all. the remarks made by the members
of the investigating committees, and in
this shape it was adopted.
At the afternoon and night sessions
the time of the Senate was occupied in
having the testimony read for the infor-
nation of the Senators who were I'M
prepared to decide on the truthfulness
of the charges against the Auditor
General, unless supplied with the state
ments made by him and others.
The original motion to have all this
testimony admitted was made by one of
McCamant's counsel, and the Attorney
General is of the opinion that its pur-
pose was to shut off a further exami-
nation of the Auditor General, or at
least to prevent q repetition of his evil
1enca which has bean 0iVen thrna

that they are common, and, they prefer
TO select style which may be made
more individual by trimming and which
is not SO easily duplicated.
The scoop bonnet is favorite, be-
cause it is generally becoming and is so
shaped that while being a bonnet it
has the youthful appearance of a round
hat.
The distinctive feature of the SCOOP
bonnet is that it has no brim at all, and
that it lies perfectly fat upon the front
of the head, just over the forehead.
This gives very nice chance for a be-
coming face trimming.
Women with small regular features
find the scoop bonnet very becoming, if
trimmed with standing bow, which is
placed on the front of the bonnet in the
most upright, aggressive manner
possible. Around the edge of
the bonnet there must be a
heavy ruching of some kind of velvet,
and at the back another upright bow.
This makes very pretty hat, and one
which will probably be fashionable all
winter.
The Japanese hat is one of the novel
ties of the season, but it is so trying

81 BANK ST
LAST OF THE BUFFALO.


Bought at a Fabulous Price by a Million
afro Banker.
NEW York, Oct. 23.-America has lost
ten of the few remaining old-time prai-
RE buffalo
They were bought at a fabulous price
by Mr.. Leland, the millionaire banker of
Liverpool, Eng, and are now in this
city, whence they sail next Tuesday.
The animals are to be placed in Mr.
Leland's private park. They are &C
companied by "Buffalo'' Jones. ,
'When Mr.. Leland came to ask what
he would take for ten Of the buffalo"
said Mr., Jones: 81 answered by naming
price which 1 thought he would not
think of paying, for I was not anxious
to sell. But he wanted buffalo in his
park, and that was all there was about
1t. Money was no object.
There will never be another buffalo
captured. l doubt if 100 still exist I'M
captured, and these keep in parts of the
mountains where no living man could
reach them

THE OTHER SIDE.

In yesterdays issue we took occasion
to call attention to an address made by
Archbishop Ireland in response to the
toast "church and country" 1t was
filled with patriotic sentiments. He de-
clared that all our interests were in
common and urged upon Catholics the
necessity of becoming good citizens,
and added:
evil some one say that my words
are too enthusiastic? They are sincere,
and perhaps those who blame me have
never thought upon the treasures of
American liberty and their hearts have
never tasted full its sweets. America, so
talr, so rich in natures gifts, thou art
worthy of heavens best favors."
In striking contrast to this noble
utterance were The remarks of the Rev
o. p. Clifford of Chicago, at the banquet
of the Baptist Social union in New Ha-
ven, Tuesday evening. Among other
things he said:
"A strange report comes from Water
bury. 1t is to the effect that the public
school board of that city is controlled
by the Catholics with a priest at their
head and ten of the thirteen teachers of
the schools are professors of the Catho-
lie faith. Besides the public schools
Waterbury has parochiai schools, and
these Catholic teachers are employed to
teach our Protestant children. Only
one clergyman in the city has openly
protested against it and as result he is
ostracised. If he marries a couple the
announcement of the wedding appears
in the papers, but his name never does
Any act i'll which he is interested even
as the main head may be commented
on, but his name is ever scratched out
The people can never get at the truth of
these things through the public press of
Waterbury. Why, don't know?'
How near the truth Rev Mr. Clifford
comes is shown by the above, which Is
full of inaccuracies, lies and bad feeling.
Fair minded people will not be in
fiuenced by incendiary addresses and
the cause of religion will not be bene-
fitted. The Waterbury minister who
informs Mr. Clifford that he is denied the
pleasure of seeing his name in public
print is needlessly alarmed. 1t is not
rule at this office that the blue pencil be
applied to his name. Can it be that his
conscience tells him he should be os-
tracised?

Or braiding, are the ones which call for
the boa, which has then a remarkably
pretty effect drawn about the neck and
hanging down the front, giving the ap-
pearance of a feather trimmed gown.
Such pretty hats as are being worn
this fall. They are nearly all very
small and are so neat and compact that
one quite falls In love with them. 1t is
treat to stand in front Of the millin-
ers window, and look upon the differ
ent shapes, and. so pretty do they all
seem, that the question of deciding
which to choose is most perplexing.
There are seasons when one exclaims
GLOW ugly!" when one first sees the
shop windows, and is brought to realize
that the fashions there displayed are
the ones which are to be worn the COM
ing season. But this year one ex-
claims: Chow pretty, how lovelyi
How graceful!' And one straightway
falls to wondering which of the bewil-
deringly pretty varieties are to be
chosen for ones own individual wear.
The little sailor hat continues to be
in our midst. It has reappeared for
the season in felt. 1t is exactly the
same shape as the summer sailor, and
is reproduced in felt Of all colors.
A sailor hat is sailor hat still-no
matter what its style may be. The
crown may be higher or it may be lower
than that of the sailor hat which is dis
played next to it. Or the brim may be
broad or it may be a mere rim. But it
is sailor still and is bound to hold its
own.
The most fashionable sailor shape for
autumn is rather high in the crown and
narrow in the brim. It comes in SO
many colors that you can get one ex-
actly the same shade as your dress, and
can thus, at small expense, have a very
pretty hat to match ones fall suit.
Suppose you have selected a fall gown
of brown cloth and brown velvet. Get
then brown sailor of the style just
described and put around the brim sew
eral broad folds of the velvet. Do not
fold the velvet regularly, but rather
wrap it around, as if it were piece of
tulle that you were twisting around
your summer shade hat. Fasten it at
the back, little to the left, and then in
that very same spot put cluster Of
pompons. Have the cluster full one,
with six or eight pompons in it, and
have them stand well up over the top
of the crown.
Many women do not care for the COM
mon SHAPED hats, for the simple reason

Dark Gray and Steel IN the Place:
Of Light Dove Tints.
A Model Street Gown-Hats That Are to
BE Fashionable the Coming Winter
A New Glimpse OF the Sailor Hat
How to Do Trimming.
[ooPYRIGHT, 1911


If very light gray was the fashion
last spring, dark gray is the fashion
now.
If the gray is so dark and so blue in
tint that it seems almost like steel
color, so much the more fashionable
does it become.
Fancy yourself dressed in a gown like
this: A long, plain habit skirt of dark
gray, brocaded in steel color, set so
closely about your figure that you are
walking as if a portiere were drawn
about you. The back of the skirt is
very full and is trained just sufficiently
to sweep slightly upon the ground.
The skirt is lined with silk and rustles
as you walk. For waist, you have a
long-tailed, coat-like bodice of the
same, brocaded with a jabot effect
upon the lapels. The vest Is dark gray
velvet of the color of the groundwork
of the coat, and there is tall standing
collar with steel clasp upon it. Steel
buttons are used upon the front of the
vest
Your hat is very dark gray felt, with
putting of black velvet around it and
black velvet strings. Gray bows and
gray dove wings are used for trim
mings. Gray gloves, stitched with black,
are worn also.
Is not that a pretty gown and is it
not becoming to you, no matter what
your style may be?
Perhaps you may not care for the
brocade. Many ladies do not, especially
if they are inclined to stoutness. In
that case, you will get plain, gray cloth,
and trim the cuffs, collar and lapels
with steel passementerie, allowing a
band or two Of the same around the
foot of the skirt.
Such garments as these are complete
in themselves, and do not require the
long fashionable feather boa, and, in
deed, such dress looks better without
one. The boa is worn only for orna-
ment, and it hangs down in a long use
less way, which, though pretty, becom-
ing and graceful, is not serviceable
when warmth is considered. Therefore,
one should consider the completeness of
ones toilet before adding the feather
ornament and should decide whether or
not the gown is more fashionable in
effect without it.
The plain, tailor-made gowns, tight
fitting at the waist, without rufdes or
founces upon the bodice, and I'M
trimmed save by passementerie, galoon
