The Decorative Craze.

Under the rule and inspiration of the
art decorator, curious confusion and
introversion of ideas has come to pass
Instead of a room being the reflection Of
the person who mostly lives therein,
(Which should make the sight of room,
even more than that Of PERSONS friends,
be true index of character), the room
is now looked upon as the ruling guide
The owner must live up, dress up, to the
room; she must try to harmonic with
the room instead of her room being
brought into harmony with her In
fact, she is like person who has bought
particular picture frame and must
strive to find some picture that will fill
it fairly well.
A woman's room should be her frame,
which completes and perfects the picture
of her individuality; but in the schemes
Of the art decorator she is mere acct
dent of no account, and he would design
a pOmpadour boudOir for Lady Macbeth
or a Greek music room for Becky Sharp,
wherein to sing Yvette Guilberts latest
success to the Marquis of Steyne, with
out a qualm ruffling his serene self sat
isfactiOn. The genre atelier was one of
the modes of this craze for domestic
decoration, which was perhaps the most
ludicrous, when estimable souls who
knew no more of painting than a cat
does Of a case of pistols thought it neces-
sary to establish easels about their rooms,
and even went so far as to hang palettes
ready "set' for painting on their walls.

The Speed of Elevators.

shaft Of $50 feet speed of from $50 to
1000 feet minute can be obtained. On
rise of $50 feet it is easy to get speed
of $50 feet per minute with weight OF
1000 pounds aboard the elevator In
New York the fastest elevators are in
the Union Trust company's building on
Broadway, near Wall street. They shoot
up or down, carrying 5000 pounds, at a
speed of 600 feet minute. When tested
with lighter weights they have Travelled
from 800 to 900 feet in minute.
But the average speed Of elevators in
office buildings in and around New York
is 800 feet minute. 1t is best adapted
for work, and experience has demon,

A Pertinent Query.

1t may be pertinent to ask why, In the
name Of all that Is reasonable, Is 1t any
more dangerous to society for woman
to neglect certain wifely duties once in
cluded within her sphere of action than
for a man to shirk all home responsible
tiles except that of growing about the
things the woman leaves undone? Now,
in the humble homes which the man
writer and lecturer extols so eloquently,
where the ideal wife looks well to the
ways of her household, the husband
kindles the fires, sweeps the walks,
splits the kindlings, brings up the coal,
does the marketing and lends hand on
Mondays.
Who kindles the fires in the city
households?
The maid servant.
Who scrubs the stoop and pavement?
The man servant.
Who mends the broken lock or re-
duces the refractory hinges?
The locksmith.
Who does the marketing and settles
the bills and hears the growing because
they are larger than they were last week?
The wife
What particular use is the city hus-
band in the household anyway?
"Just to pay for things and find fault, :"
one exasperated wife says.
And why is it so much more to be de-
plored that the wife doesn't do her own
cooking if she can earn more money at
something else than that the man should
not make his own trousers and split the
kindlings evenings instead of going to
his club:-New York Sun.

Measles More Fatal Than Influenza.

The mortality from measles exceeds
anything that can thus far BIZ directly
attributed to influenza. 1t appears that
over 1900 deaths from measles occur
annually in England and Wales, and the
rate of mortality has greatly increased
during the last decade. Why do we
take no account of il? Because, sup
pose, measles is most fatal 10 infants
whereas influenza chiefly carries off the
aged. We all of Us expect to grow old,
but we can none of Us hope to be young
again. Yet the life of healthy infant
is of more value than that of a sexage,
marian who has not strength TO combat
the influenza microbe. Truth

A MINcEMEAT SETTLEMENT.
1nfrin:ers Who Were Defendants In the
Circuit Court Paw Damages.

Circuit Court PAY Damages
The suit of the American Preservers' Com
pany for in tringement of its patent for max
ing condensed mincemeat, now pending in
the U. s. Circuit Court in this city, and in
volving large amount of money, was yes
terday reported settled. A. Leo We'll coun-
sci of the company, when interrogated on
the subject, said: Eyes, it is true, that Mer-
rell & Soule, of Syracuse our chief competil
tors, have capitulated, paid us q large sum
of money for a license, and given up the
fight, although they had won a previous
case, which is now pending on appeal in the
United States Supreme Court. The COM
pany represent owns the patent for MAX
ing condensed or dry mincemeatI The sales
OF this food product aggregate many hun
dred thousands of dollars perannum. Many
manufacturers went into the business, and
to protect our interests we brought a
suit against T. G. jenkins, grocer, of this
city, as he was selling several other makes.
Some of the alleged infringers wanted to
join in the defense, but the brunt of the
fight fell on Merrell & Soule, who had pre-
v1ously conducted a successful resistance.
They, however, were compelled to give uD
the battle. am advised that grocers and
condensed mincemeas manufacturers all
over the country have been watching this
litigation, as, If we succeed, we can, if we
wish, maintain actions against every grocer
as well rs every manufacturer who in the
past has sold other goods than our manu-
facture. The company has no. yet deter
mined upon its course of action further than
to continue the prosecution of this suit
against Jenkins, on account OF his selling, as
We allege, the goods manufactured by par
ties whom We. claim are infringers." Mr.
We'll admitted the sum paid to his company
by MerTell & Soule exceeded SO COO, but
would not state the amount

GAVE HER LIFE FOR HER CHILDREN.

SAULr STE. MARIE, MICH, May 90
News has reached here of tragedy at Iro
quois, a settlement 20 miles up the shore.
The dwelling of Benjamin Van Laden, a
farmer and fisherman, caught FIRE after his
six children had been put to bed. Mr.. Van
Laden was absent, and the work of rescuing
the children fell upon the mother.
She made three trips into the flames, car.
rying out two children each time. On the
last trip both she and her children were on
fire when they reached the open air. Mrs.
Van Laden devoted her every effort to save
the lives of the little ones In this she was
rewarded with success, but paid for it with
her own life.

A belated carload of this pattern

secret of similar good values in every

contribute to these results are well
paid.

DIR. PARkHURST'S VICTORY.
What His Crusade Has Effected In New York
City.

CITY.
1t only needed the vulgar. brutal attack made
upon DIR. Parkhurst by the criminal lawyer who
was employed TO defend the woman Hattie
Adams to bring over to Dr. Parkhursts support
the majority of respectable persons who have
doubted the propriety Of his course. says
5" Holland" the New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. An eminent lawyer said
TO ME this morning that the shocking abuse of
Parkhurst while he was under cross-examination
by this LAWYER did as much to convict this
woman as did the testimony. With one e1cep-
ton every newspaper in the city has condemned
these court room attacks.
Parkhursts crusade. as it is called has re-
suited IN one thing never yet known in New
York 1t has closed every gambling house and
every resort where immortality prevails except
ing. perhaps. a few in the lowest tenement dis
trIct III the city. The people who frequented
and made their living in these places are terri
fed, and while there are some who believe that
the storm will blow over in few weeks. most
OF them are of the opinion that as long as Dr.
Parkhurst remains president OF the Society for
the Prevention of Crime the crusade will con-
tinue.
When Parkhurst made his first accusations
the 1ammany officials sneered at him and said:
why doesn't he bring some proof" The
grand jury censured him. even. for making the
charges without proof and then parkhurst said.
Il viii get proof" When he got proof in the
only way in which he could present it to the
grand jury from the witness stand. he WAS at
