A look of interrogation.


''Ah, you won't understand what mean;
but can only answer your question by
saying that those who have power over you
would find the means Of making you do
right, my Socratic friend. And, indeed, I
suppose that applies to myself also.''
ut is all very puzzling," she answered.
ct am sorry you can't tell more about YOUR
selves and us. But see, the game is nearly
over Black will be mated in II moves, and
I must say goodby. 1 hope shall see you
again. Keep to your rules, and perhaps
you will come back to US king"
As she spoke, the music sounded the
mate, and Immediately the stir and sound of
animation began to die away. The pieces
stifened again into chessmen, and the young
man watched the fair face of his companion
fading into wooden block. Before she
was quite unrecognizable he heard faint
"Adieu! Observe the rules"
''Well, have you had comfortable nap?"
was the next sound that greeted him in
harsher accents and looking round, he saw
the old gentleman surveying him with a
queer mocking smile of interrogation. The
chessmen were lying about in their usual
dlsarray, end everything was as of custom.
The young man was too bewildered to saw
much, and could learn nothing of his COM
panion, who baffied his inquiries, and soon
remarked that was time to be going home,
and they parted. One result of our young
friends adventure into chessland was that
next Gay he took leave of his old employer.

lines as far east of the Ohio river as Wash
ington Junction, Md, and will be valid for
return passage on any regular train until
August inclusive, and will permit the
holder to stop off on return journey at
Washington, where attractions for visitors
abound at all seasons Passengers by day

ONE HAD THE EXPERIENCE.
Lawrence Woelfel, of Allegheny, Enters
Suit Against j. b. Hammer.

Lawrence Woelfel, of Allegheny, Enters
Suit Against j. b. Hammer.
Lawrence Woelfel, of Allegheny, yester-
day swore out informations on nine counts
against j. B. Hammer, his late partner in
the business of Ladley & Co., 5O7 Fed
eral street, Allegheny. These informations
charge Hammer with larceny, larceny by
bailee, false entries, fraudulent conversion
of funds, embezzlement, fraudulent altera-
tion and mutilation of books, fraudulent ap-
preparation of goods, false returns, and the
keeping of fictitious accounts. sEso A
The pair carried on the business of mer-
chant tailoring, Woefel putting up the
money and Hammer supplying the expert
ence, until a dissolution a year ago,
when Hammer assumed the position of
manager and bookkeeper. Woelfel charges
that Hammer has collected various accounts,
and expert accountants whom Woefel called
in reported that the losses from the trading
aggregated s., 900.
Hammer resided at No 35 High street,
Allegheny, and has been prominently iden-
titled with the North Avenue NJ. E. Church.
He is also engaged in the insurance bust
ness under the name of J. B. Hammer &
Co., and it is claimed his insurance accounts
are inextricably mixed up with his mer-
chant tailoring entries.
Hammer was arrested yesterday and
placed under S4, 900 bail for hearing. He
denied all the allegations made by Woelfel,
and would not say any further.

not dictated to you by some one else, as
with us?'
Ideas of foreknowledge, fate, and free
will passed through the young mans mind
as he answered:
'T am not quite sure about that, but IL
certainly does appear as if the choice OF my
next move rested with me"
"And does your next move decide your
game?" she asked.
'It has very serious consequences to me
and to others which you can hardly appre-
ciate.''

"Can you not resign and begin another?"

You are going to the seashore this sum-

So you must provide yourself with one
without feathers upon it, for, as every one
who has been to the seashore knows feath-

little exposure to sea air, fog and mist.
A very useful style of hat is beige
straw, or indeed any fancy straw, because it
is already partly trimmed and requires but
little to make it become really thing of
beauty. The open work straws are the
same, requiring only fancy bow or gay
wreath of flowers to make them as orna-

A HEARTY RESPONSE
Given to the Physicians of the Electro
pathic Institute,
AT 5O7 PENN AVENUE.

That the public appreciates the opportu-
nifty for scientific electrical treatment af-
forded by the physicians Of the Electro
pathic Institute is shown by the hearty and
immediate response to their printed state
ments, after they adopted the method OF ad
vertising in the newspapers, and by the
throngs of patients who have called upon
them at 507 Penn avenue. Patients are eau
toned against mistaking the name or the
number. 1T is 507 PENN AVENUE.
One lady who called and placed herself
under treatment the other day, said:
81 have long known that the only chance
for recovery 1 had was in electrical treat
ment. Even my family doctor told me that,
but didn't know any one that had conf
dence in to go to. Friends sent me here and
I am glad at last to find where scientific
electrical treatment is given by scientific
physicians"
Enough has been said regarding the stand
ing, qualifications, training, experience and
skill of the physicians of the Electropathic
Institute at 507 Penn avenue. In future that
skill will be attested principally by the re-
suits described in these columns.

Relief and Rescue Comes IN Many Cases to
the Sufferer.
After having tried every known remedy
and great variety of doctors many sufferers
have found relief from our treatment. We
never had a case of epilepsy in which the
intervals between attacks were not greatly
heightened and in large proportion of
cases the results are permanent and COM
plete cures.
EPILEPSY OF FIVE YEARs' 'STANDING-Patient
80 years of age. Had her first attack in the
night while sleeping. Was always more or
less hysterical. At first the attacks occurred
once in seven weeks, later once month.
Had taken bromide and chloral several
years before coming under our care. During
the month previous had three attacks. Was
exceedingly nervous and uespondent and it
was evident if electricity did nothing else it
would be of service as sedalion and tonic.
After three months patient was completely
cured and has not had an attack since.

THIEVING IN ALLEGHENY.
A Beaver Avenue House Entered Early in

A Beaver Avenue House Entered Early in
the Evening and Property Stolen.
Two men entered the residence of Henry
Moorhead, at 80 Beaver avenue, on
Wednesday evening through the second
story window. A convenient plank from a
wagon shop adjoining afforded them en-
trance. Mrs. Moorhead was sitting in the
yard at the side of her house at the time,
and, hearing a noise, gave the alarm to her
husband, who, with other friends, occupied
the front porch.
On investigation the thieves were found
to have laid out a stock of linen for re.
moval. They had been frightened away be-
fore they could secure anything, as it was
thought, but next morning S35 were miss
ing from Miss Moorhead's room and some
change from wrapper used by Mrs. Moor
head. The robbers seemed to have ac-
quaintance with the habits of the family.

eyes on the frieze Of the room, take 20 full
breaths, inhaled slowly and exhaled forcibly.
Turn your head slowly around on the

have you tried it? And if you did try it
how many nights in the week did you for
get it, and how many mornings were you
too late to spend time? And while you are
working thus about your neck your arms
will have been growing plumper and fuller

take a pair of dumb-bells and turn them
sharply and vigorously in your hands, the

hands stretched out at the side the same
number of times, straight in front of you,

know by the aching muscles in your fore

cidedly The main point is always sustained
rather than cratic effort.

In its earliest application in medicine and
surgery electricity has been used more fire.
quently for Rheuma tism and Paralysis than
any other disease, for the reason, perhaps,
that these diseases are often obstinate to
ordinary methods good opportunity to
see its effects exists in cases where the
disease is so severe as to render some mus
cles of the body almost if not quite power

RHEUMATIC PARALYSIS Patient boy II
years old. Unable to bring jaws closer to-
gether than one-half an inch. Impossible to
turn the head from one side to the other
without moving the entire body. The mus
cles rigid, frequently contracting, causing
great pain. On the first application of mild
current of ten minutes durution, 1t allowed
patient to turn his head with freedom with
out pain, and to close his mouth. Continued
treatment resulted in retaining the I'M
provement and eventual recovery.

NO MORE MORPHINE.

Science Has Supplanted the Use of Chloral,
Bromides and Other Fatal Drugs.
In this anxious, hurrying age, to no class
of sufferers has our method proved of greater
benefit than to those afflicted with sleepless-
ness, hysteria and allied nervous affections.
While Chloral, Bromide, Morphine and other
drugs are carrying thousands of sufferers
from nervous troubles daily to the mad
house or the grave, scientific electrical
treatment steps in to give all the relief and
rest that those drugs have ever given, leav-
ing none of their baneful effects. We cite the
following case:
INsoMNIA-Patient married lady So years
old. For two months no sleep visited her
without the nightly administration of 100 to
120 grains of chloral. Lost in weight from
160 to 120 pounds. The night after the first
application patient had five hours of the
quietest and most natural sleep. The gen.
eral improvement continued until patient
seemed in fairly good health and slept regu-
larly and naturally.

WHAT 1T ACCOMPLISHES
In Eczema and Allied Diseases of the Skin
Results Tell

In diseases of the skin our treatment OBJ
tains the most rapid and brilliant results.
In nearly all cases of chronic forms on diff
ferent parts of the body there is immediate
relief of distressing pain and ultimate cure
after course of treatment. We have had
patients declare that the distress was so
great they would be glad to have the suffer
ing part amputated, and after an applica-
tion of 5 to Is minutes would go away entire
ly relieved. The relief lasts several hours,
sometimes days, the pains becoming less
and less until a cure is accomplished.
ECzEMA-Patient7 IS years of age had ecze-
ma of the scalp. The eruptions extended
over the entire portion of the head covered
by the hair, and it persisted, in spite of
many external applications, for nearly three
months. The diseased part was covered by
thick scabs, the scalp quite irritable, and
at night especially patient was annoyed by
the desire to scratch. After two weeks of
electrization the scabs began to dry up and
peel of, and the general health very much
improved. The Improvement went on until
in two months scalp was entirely free from
disease.

IS CANCER DURABLE?

Scientific Evidence That in Many Cases 1t
Can Be Cured.
In many cases of cancer, pronounced in
curable, electrization makes complete and
radical cure. Some cases of the worst form,
when a cure is probably impossible, intelli-
gently directed currents have relieved in
stantly the pain and restored the patient to
comfort and approximate health. We cite
the following instance.
EP1rHELIAL CANCER-Patient wife of ply
sician, 90 years old. Growth increasing fast
and patient had difficulty in walking about
the house. Electric treatment relieved pain.
Regular applications during three months re-
ternal ulcer and complete and permanent

Fashionable Scraps Photographed.
THE white stocking is really worn-with q
white gown.
THE white blazer now blazes with red OF
yellow facings.
THE summer handkerchief is cut on the
edge to represent leaves.
PINK is to be very fashionable, combined
with either gray, brown or green.
THE Tyrolienne hats are worn with plain
cloth dresses, and promise to be very pop
ular.
THE white duck neclltie so far forgets it
self at times as to be striped OF edged with
patent leather.
TARTAN blouses are much worn, and plaid
ribbons are sometimes used in millinery
with good effect.
SILVER is more fashionable than gold for
trimming now, but gold is still used in gir-
dies and bodice trimmings.
Few visites and mantelets are to be seen.
The novelties in long cloaks and mantles
cover the dress completely; fancy cloth and
faille are the favorite materials tor these.
IT is the fashion to attire small children in
scarlet hose, which looks very pretty with
dark frocks or coats, but the dye is some
times poisonous, and causes eruptions on
the feet and legs.
A NEW and very convenient kind ofjacket
was worn recently at reception. 1t had
four buttons and button holes at each side of
the front, so that it could either be fastened
across OF each side buttoned back on itself,
showing silk revers and gilet.
SMART walking dresses have long lace
sleeves inserted over the bodice sleeves,
carving out the idea of the three-quarter
capes; Of course, the bodice. though per-
fectly tight fitting, is made to look like
mantle. These are very convenient for
summer wear.
THE English white doeskin gloves are very
chic, but pearl-gray Suede and kid stitched
with black, and short gauntlet gloves in
tan, drab and black are popular. For even

flowers, and even tiny jewels may be inter-
mixed in the designs. saw unique pair
