The Ar. of Cutting Clothes.

When we read and listen to discus
sions of comparative value of long or
shoulder measures with those hat are
short and sectional, in which one or the
other is denounced as u~nscientific or
impracticable, our mind Immediately
dwells for a moment on a pr~overbially
stupid animal with long ears. The fact
is that many cutters are successful
with the first, and just about as many
with the others.
Every man canno become a good cut
ter. Some do not seem to "catch on
as the saying is, and others who seem tc
do SO are icy able to produce any
other results han such as ''make old
heads swim"
Natural ability and educational ad
vantages generally insure success, bu'
years of work On the board, the ability
eve to make a good coat, is no guar
antee of the possession of that meita
equipment which is necessary to make
good cutter.
When it requires hours of labor to fl,
in some ones mind the difference be
tween one-third and one-quarter of {
size, how can such a one expect to sue
coed as a cutter?
When a student is able to think quick.
ly and clearly, we confidently expect
him to become a skillful cutter, ever
though he cannot make a coat SO well as
many others. The fact is that to be
successful in garment cutting, as in any
other trade or profession, a man mus
have brains, know how to use them and
use them as he should.-Tailoring Jour

Corbin, the negro who murdered Mrs.

was lynched at 10 o'clock this evening.
He had been hiding since the murder IN
a shed 200 feet from the place where the
crime was committed. Growing hungry
he sent a negro boy for food and the boy
told OF his hiding place. A crowd at
opce formed and rushed to the spot. The
murderer heard them, but too late to
escape. In a cowardly fear he endeavored
to suicide, but only inflicted a slight
wound.
The crowd rushed in and seized him.
The marshal and his assistants took him
in charge aud were leading him u the
calaboose. followed by the enraged crowd.
Just at the door of the calaboose someone
threw a rope round his neck, but the
marshal cut it and the murderer was
locked up. The mob, soon hearing that
the sheriff was on his way to take charge
of Corbin, broke into the calaboose and
dragging out the murderer hung him to a

politely retired on my appearing, the
others put their revolvers in their hip

Cardinal MannIng,s Death.

BALTIMORE, Jan. l4.-Cardinal Glib
bons. speaking to a representative of the
Associated Press concerning Cardinal
Manning said: THE death of Cardinal
Manning Is a great loss. not only to the
Catholic church in England but to the
whole English speaking Catholic world.
Cardinal Manning was a seer and scanned
with almost a prophetic eve the religious,
social and political horizon.
He was in sympathy with all wants
and legitimate aspirations OF humanity.
He felt the Catholic church was the great
force TO realize these aspiration. He has
left a stamp of his character on his age.
No man inside or outside the church has
grasped social questions as he did, for he
knew better how to harmonic the rela-
lions of the church and state.
He was the acknowledged champion
of the working classes in England whose
cause he espoused at a risk of his health
and life. In conversation he was most
instructive and entertaining, drawing
treasures OF knowledge from his we'll
stored mind. Each sentence was ex-
pressed with a force aud terseness OF
aphoirsm." Cardinal Gibbons was pro
foundly affected when informed by the
Associated press agent, o alter nine
o'clock this morning, of the death OF
Cardinal Manning. :,
May God have mercy on his soul, y
was the simple yet earnest prayer of his
eminence. He at once gave the sad news
to the priests of his household and said
he would prefer not to be disturbed fol-
a short time. But before he could
reach his room an Associated Press dis
patch announcing the death of Cardinal
Simeon was handed him. This
ment. following so closely on the intelli.
Rence of the passing away of Cardinal
Manning, almost completely Frustrated
Cardinal Gibbons, and he Immediately
retired to his room. He had long known
each OF his associates of the church.
Cardinal Serafino V~annutelli. papal
secretary of memorials, will succeed Car
dinal Simeon as perfect general of the

A good many people doubtless have
wondered why Secretary Tracy named
the gunboat launched at Bath, Me-, the
Machias. Machias people know why,
and are very proud Of the exploit of
their ancestors, who within a few weeks
Of the battle of Concord fought a smart
AVA engagement and captured British
schooner which was blockading their
port. The captain of the British schooner
commanded the men of Machias to cut
down the liberty pole which they hal
set up on their common. The men o.
Machias refused, and there was some
diminishing of an inconclusive nature.
Finally some bold spirits in the town
fitted out a sloop and attacked the
schooner, which was named the Marga
retta. The engagement was brisk, and
the Americans succeeded in boarding
the schooner, drove her crew below and
pulled down the British colors. Machias
people claim that the M~argaretta was
the first British vessel captured in the
Revolution, and their exploit is some
times called ''the Lexington of the Seas
