The wise housewife is she who would
rather dispense with a reception room
and have a sewing room than vice
versa. The sewing room does not
need to be large. 1t must not contain
carpets or upholstered furniture. The
floor should be ain and vanished,
so that the daily brushing UP may be
easily accomplished. There should be
hooks on the wall. from which the
piecebags should hang. Several shelves
are necessary. where boxes containing
buttons. trimmings. findings, patterns
and the like should be kept. A lap
board, an armless rocking chair, a
dress form n a big closet for un-
finished work are other n~ecessaries.
The machine SHOULD be placed in a
strong light, n there should be a
long mirror. in which the hang of ..
skirt may be viewed with ease.

That's the reason their skirts sag and
dip and hang crooked. The new skirt

have to come to the conclusion that she or he is
begging the question"
The substance OF my communication TO last

OF the conduct OF a public %ofaoiai. consisting In the
inhuman removal from the corner OF sixtieth
street and Third avenue of q poor. blind creature
playing a melodeon. Had the blind man had with
him his guide to conduct him to his home no
complaint would have been made. As II was, the
poor creature had to suceumb to the majesty OF the

totally strange. but benevolent citizens. Conduct
OF this kind. I again repeat, can only deserve the
righteous animadversion OF all mankind. N. p.

SILVERITES In CONVENTION.
The Usual Free Coinage Resolutions
Introduced.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Oct. 5.-Just previous
TO the adjournment of the Bimetallic
Convention yesterday the Committee on
resolutions reported. and it was resolved,
that free and unlimited coinage OF sill
yer was a necessity paramount. The
repeal OF the Sherman law was op-
posed, and Congress was urged to re-
quest the President to call an Internal
tional Convention to deal with bimetal-
lism. The further issue of Government
bonds was denounced as the aim and
end sought In the present calamity by
Wall street.
Gov. Waite. OF Colorado, offered an
amendment declaring that each State
has the constitutional right to make gold
ard silver coins legal tender. Delegate
+. s. Waterbury. OF Emporia. Kan, Of

MRS. LECHRER DEFEATED.
She Said She Was tho Mother of
Nineteen Children.

Judge Giegerich, OF the Court OF Com
mon Pleas, has just handed down his
decision In the case OF Pessie Lechner.
who said that she was the mother of
nineteen children.
Mrs. Lechner brought an action for a
separation from bed and board from her
husband. Schaie Lechner. OF GO Rutgers
street. on the ground that eighteen years
ago In Roumania he abandoned her. She
made an application to compel Lechner
to pay her lawyers fees and for all
mony.
Louis Steckler. OF 275 Broadway, who
represented Lechner. showed by afi-
davits that his client was unable 10 pay
any counsel fee or alimony. and that by
reason OF illness he was unable to earn
any money. Mr.. Steckler also pro-
duced evidence to show that the wife
was defeated In the Police Court. and
that the statements made in Mrs. Lech-
ner's affidavit and those Of her witnesses
were not sufficient to hold Lechner.
Lechner in his ffidavit also denied
that nineteen children were born of
the marriage. He stated that only four
were born.
Judge Giegerich to-day denied the
wife's application.

1t is said that American ladies' have Of
late become fond Of chess playing, and
about twenty Of them lave combined for
the purpose Of promoting the holding of
an International Chess Congress for
ladies'. These ladies have put them
selves into communication with lady
chess players ali over the world, and
hope to be successful in gaining their OBJ
ject. Ladies are much fascinated by the
mysteries of the royal game of chess,
and are fond of working out problems;
so 1t is likely that 1t may become shortly
a very popular pastime.
