Except the Maybrick case in England
the Harris poisoning case is the most
celebrated of this decade. Everything
that the love of a mother, the money of
relatives and the ingenuity of the law
could do to save Carlyle Harris was
done. He had every chance that tho
courts give for appeal and new trial, but
at the end the conviction that he was
guilty seemed only more firmly fixed in
the minds of judge, jury and the public.
He was a handsome young man, well
known in good social circles in New
York and Brooklyn. The charge that
he had murdered his young wife by adj
ministering morphine to her was moro
of a shock and a blow to his acquaint-
ances than to anybody else except his
devoted mother. They said at first it
could not be possible that this brilliant,
polished young man, with his fine man
ners and courteousness toward men and
women, could have been guilty of such a
crime. But criminology shows that poi
soners more frequently than otherwise
have such pleasing manners and address.
The state of New York spent $4,000 in
the prosecution of the case. The evil
dence on which he was convicted was
wholly circumstantial, yetit wasdeemed
sufficient to condemn him. 1t is q ghast-
ly comment on the times that in the last
day or two, while the case was in the
hands of the governor, bets were freely
made on the probability of his sentence
being committed to imprisonment for
life. 1

IN more respects than one our Worlds
fair is the greatest that ever was. It is
the first international exposition in his
tory in which women took active official
part in the management and the first
one in which the work of women has as
sumed such proportions. Expresses and
queens have been warmly interested in
the Woman's building at the fair and
have sent from their countries specimens
of all the kinds of the distinctive work
of women. Thus on q broad scale at
tention will be attracted to woman as an
industrial factor. This was the especial
idea of Mrs. Bertha Honore Palmer and
her coadjutators. Then, too, there was
the women's own ceremonial opening Of
their worlds fair. Not ever the presi-
dent was called on for that. The ladies
made their own speeches. The fact that
addresses were made on this occasion by
titled ladies from Spain, Italy, Great
Britain and Russia shows how deeply
the ONE of all nations are ut present
interested in the question of women's
wage earning work. The display at the
fair cannot do otherwise than have a
beneficial influence in bringing up the
pay of women workers.

The report of Comptroller Heppen-
heimer on railroads and canals will lie
of interest showing the nature and
cause Of accidents which have occurred
during tue year. The main causes of
injury and death on railroad have been
the coupler and The striking down of
men while at work on tracks. The
total number Of persons injured on the
railroads in the state last year was 953,
twO-thirds of whom were employees.
There were $40 persons killed. The
treacherous coupler was the cause of
the deaths OF seventeen employees and
injury of $50. Eighteen men were in
jured by cars while at work on the road
and s~eventy.fye others killed. Tie
careless habit of driving across railroad
tracks regardless of approaching trains
resulted in the killing of 1877 persons
and the injury of 1872 others. The Cen
trail Railroad of New Jersey, which has
256 miles of railroad tracks in the state,
shows a record of 255 persons injured
and fifty. eight killed.

An Interesting Statement from

We make more than most wholesale houses that sell

out exception. z
Good Clothing is one result-good making is
another. There's a fearful lot of hidden bad work
and stuff in much Clothing. There's no way to be
rid of it but the one-doing ones own manufacturing.
Still another important result of our manufacturing
low prices-the lowest of prices. There's a fearful
expense slice slips away useless1y to pay the profit to
put our goods on our counters at the prices stores pay
for them We sell you a single suit at the rate stores
pay for twenty or fifty. We don't sell without a profit.
We don't add two profits, that's all. But that's a
good deal to you. e
By that you'll understand how we may pay rail-

you better qualities. eEeE
