appointed Justice, is active in politics in
Western Pennsylvania and is credited
with bringing about the investigation in
Allegheny City politics which resulted in
the conviction of the Mayor and other

George Shiras, third, was ridiculed on ac-
count of the "Englishism" to his name,
and was defeated. His father was then
known as George Shiras, second, but he
has recently adopted the signature OF
George Shiras, jr.

DR.. SCUDDER'S TRAGIC END.

Slabs Himself to the Heart With a Dag
ger While Demented.
NoRTHPoRT, R. l., July 20.-Dr. Charles
Scudder, son of the late Hon. Henry J.
Scudder and son-in-law of Senator VIM.
NJ. Evarts, killed himself at an early
morning hour, at the Scudder mansion, in
tragic manner.
For some time DR.. Scudder has been in
poor health, and came here Monday from
his home in New York to spend a few
weeks for the benefit of his health.
1t was noticed when he got off the train
he was muttering to himself and making
wild gesticulations with his arms. He
was quickly ushered into carriage and
driven to the Scudder mansion.
The family admitted that DR.. Scudder
was suffering from temporary alteration
of mind, caused, they said, by over-study.
He was placed in charge of an attend
ant who kept a close watch on him all the
evening.
In the morning the Scudder household
was greatly alarmed when they learned
| that DR.. Scudder had escaped from his
room.
A search was Immediately made for
him, servants being sent in all directions
| to find some trace of him.
His attendant finally caught glimpse
of him a short distance from the house.
He called him to stop.
The doctor turned about and seeing the
| man approaching him drew a dagger and
| plunged it into his heart. He sank to the
ground and expired instantly.
DIR. Scudder was about 35 years of age.
He leaves a wife whose maiden name was
Louisa Evarts. The latter and her 7-year-
old daughter are now at her fathers home
| in Windsor, Vt.

cowHloED HER FORMER HUSBAND
Mrs. John Hueston of Newark, N. j.,
Creates a Sensation.

Creates q sensation.
NEWARK, N. j., July 20,-Mrs. John
Hueston has been trying her best to stop
the marriage of her divorced husband to
Miss Fannie Leach, of Newburyport,
Mass, but despite her efforts, the cou-
pie We're united.
Yesterday Mrs. Hueston went to a Po-
lice Justice and asked that officers be sent
to St. Pauls Episcopal Church to stop the
wedding.
The justice inquired into the matter,
and found that Hueston was divorced
from his wife, but that she did not know
it, and so the justice declined to inter
fere.
Mrs. Hueston then decided to take the
matter into her own hands, and she pur-
chased a rawhide and last evening she
stood out in front of the church and
waited for the couple to put in an ap-
pearance.
Huestol,, however, had learned that di-
vorced people could not be married in an
Episcopal church, and so he went to a
Methodist church and was married.
After Mrs. Hueston found that she had
been foiled in her attempt to whip her di-
vorced husband, she went to his home,
where the bride and groom had repaired
after the ceremony. Mrs. Hueston called
her husband out into the street, where
she gave him a severe cowhiding. A SYM
pathetic crowd collected, who wanted to
tar and feather Hueston, but he finally
escaped into the house.

goes to a haberdasher to purchase.
Here was an idea at any rate, and !
followed it up. went to the leading
pattern houses and found that the
demand for "gentlemen's wear" pat
terms had grown to such an extent with
in the past year or so that designs are
now in stock for everything in the way
of wearing apparel except dress suit,
a frock or sack suit, derby or a silk
hat.
One of the neatest things to be made
at home is the sash vest or Gordon sash.
The materials favored for the vest are
serge, satin, silk, cloth and Bedford
cord. The sash may be made of corded
silk, surah or faille. The five pieces
shown in the cut are reduced patterns
for both the Gordon sash and the sash
vest. The two belt sections are the
same tor both, and the Gordon sash is
put on the lining in folds, as shown by
the notches on the ends; the plaits
should be turned upward at ono end
and downward at the other, to give a
soft and pretty effect. 1t is we'll to cut
the belt sections from a tennis belt.
The sash vest has tuck at the cen,
ter, and a whalebone should be inserted
to stiffen it. Buttons and pseudo but,
tonholes ornament the belt at the left
side of the tuck. Vest pockets, finished
with a welt, are inserted in each side Of
the belt. The small rings on the pat
tern show the positions of pockets

When you begin to figure on the cost
of the material for one of these vests
its cheapness strikes home at once. A
quarter of yard of material with g
width of twenty-seven inches, tennis
belt and three buttons completes al
you will need. For the Gordon sash

why" she said, you can knit any
thing from a pair of suspenders to
sweater" And then she went on to
give me all the intricate details of knit
ting pair of suspenders. 1.-The sus-
pender should be knitted with the very
best knitting silk, used double and in
coarse steel needles The beginning
should always be at the crossed ends,
and fourteen stitches should be cast for
each suspender. Now divide the stitches
into halves to form the button hole,
and knit back and forth on each division,
or half a sufficient distance to make
buttonhole of the size usually seen in
suspenders. Then slip the stitches all
on to one needle again and knit back
and forth for about an inch and a half.
Divide the stitches once more and make
a second buttonhole like the first one.
Now put the stitches again on to one
needle and knit back and forth six
times, increasing one stitch at the end
| of each row, which will make the num-
Der of stitches twenty"
But, reverting to other styles aside
| from these knit goods, which are as a
rule great test Of patience and perse-
verance, was struck with a pretty de-
sign for a neglige shirt which can be
made at home with ease. 1t is devel-

bosom arranged in soft folds that result
from gathers at the top and bottom,

CARNEGIE differs in no respect from
his brother protectionists. They have
maintained in political arguments that
they had only the interests of the work
men at heart; but we have yet to find
a case in which the protectionist manu-
facturcrs have increased the rates of
wages of their operatives above those
paid in non-protectcd industries. The
classifications of the census of 1890 have
not yet been made, but it is we'll known
that in 1880 the great protected indus
tries paid, as rule, lower wages TO
those in their employ than were paid in
industries which were not bounty fed.
The hypocrisy which has been the stock
in trade of protectionists of late years
has unquestionably received a serious
blow by the revelation which this
Homestead incident has afforded.

ALICE MlTCHELL'S TRIAL.
Testimony Showing That Insanity Was
Inherent in the Family.

Inherent in the Family.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, July 2O.-The second
days proceedings in the Alice Mitchell
trial were witnessed by a large crowd.
The deposition of Juliet Bishop of Brook
vile, Ind, was read. She is Mrs. Nit
chelrs step-daughter, and testified that
Mrs. Mitchell once made an effort to
kill her. So strong was her resentment
that Mrs. Bishop was compelled to leave
home.
Anumber of dispositions were read show
ing the insanity of Mrs. Mitchell's rela-
tives. DIR. Thomas Griswold Comstock of
St. Louis treated Mrs. Mitchell in St.
Louis when she was suffering from acute
mania. He said that heredity was prob
ably the original cause of insanity and as
serted that it was more potential from a
mother to a daughter than otherwise.
Robert Mitchell, Alice's half-brother,
testified that he searched her room after
the tragedy and found in it tops, marbles,
baseballs, etc. She also had a rose sent
her by Freda and several letters. He al
ways noticed that Alice acted like boy.
From the tenor of the letters that
passed between Freda Ward and Alice
Mitchell, one is led to the conclusion that
each was infatuated with the other, and
that Alice loved Freda as man loves
woman and Freda loved Ali ce as woman
regards man. The letters written by both
the yovng women were made public on
the witness stand and their contents were
astounding.
If Alice is crazy so was Freda, because
the emotions and mentality of both were
alike.
A prominent physician discussing the
case from a scientific standpoint, said the
story of these two girls gave rise to a
problem for psychologists, viz-Can one
woman love another as a man without be-
ing insane, and when this love is recipro-
Gated are not both insane9
