OUT OF SPOOL COTTON.
4 Wonderful Counterfeit Of Steamer
Massachusetts at Boston Store.

That is q splendid achievement In win
dow display up at the Boston Store In the
Westminster street front-the steamer
massachusetts, In miniature. made
with over thousand spools Of
cotton and and Perfect in proportion and
every detail. The idea and the work is that
OF John Hyslop, the ingenious window
decorator, who attends to that branch
OF the extensive advertising done by Cal
lendar, McAuslan Il Troup. The scheme
WAS to call attention to the Boston
Stores big line of outing goods
and nothing Ii more suggestive of vaca-
ds.ir sian than . steamboat. hence the
has been transformed into q
stage, the back ground formed
by picture of Pomham light. also drawn
and coiored by Hyslop, and an effective
water scene Is secured by yards OF green
velour under the boat. The length OF the
steamer over all is ten feet, the width of
beam two feet four inches, and the
height OF the topmost Flagstaff is In
proportion. Black thread is used for the
walking beam, smokestacks and to repre-
sent the portfolios and the rest are Of
white. 1t took the decorator one
night to put the 1000 unwieldy spools to-
gether and when the ianitor pulled up the
he was on the New York dock at Fox
Point.
The head Of the spool.thread depart
ment has taken advantage of the
display as well as the outing goods
man and stuck up such placards as
these along the miniature FLYER bank:
''Sail on good ship; there's sale OF cot
ton going on inside" "This steamer is
going to pieces soon; why don't you try
six spools for 10 cents for a relic?b
"a sail on this boat is nothing compared
with the sale at the cotton counter" and
q lot more.
Take walk mp this afternoon when it's
. little cooler and see the boat.

ELEVATOR FELL.
Victims Of Saturdays Accident Are
Doing Well Today.

The condition Of the victims OF the ele-
vator accident in the Brownell building
late Saturday afternoon is favorable. This
morning Lille Parkhurst and Minnie
Azaveda, two OF the victims, were able
to resume work at the What Cheer Shirt
Mandatory, but the other passengers,
Edith Fletcher, May Alsmedy, Abbie
Selwin and Georgiana Lawrence have not
recovered sufficiently to go to work.
Richard Butler, the elevator boy, was
on hand this morning, having almost
fully recovered from his injuries.
The ropes on the elevator, which were
about to be taken out, broke late Saturday
afternoon, precipitating the car with seven
occupants to the ground floor. When
the dust cleared away the passengers were
removed from the wrecked car and were
sent to their homes. 1t was intended to
substitute new elevator Of modern
workmanship for the old lift and the trip
which resulted in the fall was to have
been the last trip. The occupants were
employed by the What Cheer Shirt Com
pany and were all badly shaken up and
bruised.

But LITTLE DECREASE.
Building Trade in This Vicinity Shows
Little Effect Of Hard Times.

Despite the fact that business has been
stagnated by the financial depression
which characterized the first months of
the year, the number OF building permits
issued has shown but little falling off in
the six months past as compared with more
prosperous seasons. The total number
issued was 3S1 and OF these the create er
majority were for 2h-story tenement
houses, ranging in cost from 1900 to 5000
Among the large business blocks which
have been and will be erected are the
following: A 5-story brick building for
business purposes at the corner of
washington and Union streets,
by James Hanley; 4-story
brick building for manufacturing
purposes at 36 and 40 Sabin street, by
Fred Talcott; 4-story brick business
block at the corner OF Cove and Merrill
streets, by the Spicer Stove Company; s.
story brick business block at
126 and 1876 Westminster street by
the Butler Duncan Land Company:
4-story brick convent at the corner OF
Broad and Claverick streets by the Sisters
OF Mercy, and 5-story brick business
block at the corner of Orange and West
minister streets by Marshall Woods and
wife. The total cost of these buildings
will amount far into the millions.

BosroN, July 2.-Contrary to general
expectation. the Legislature was not pro-
rogued Saturday night. The reason for
the failure to reach final adjournment
was due to the governors refusal to act
upon the Meigs bill. He said he was
going to take time to look 1t over. The
final event Of the session was the bill to
incorporate the Boston elevated railway.

very last hours Of the session, and which

The Life Guards.

After the peninsula the Life guards pro-
ceeded to the Netherlands and there took
part In the crowning victory Of Water loo
The charge of the Household cavalry--with
whom were tho First Dragon gua-ds--is
an event of history and will be remem.
bered as long as history lasts.
Then ensued long interval of 20 years,
occupied with tho peaceful duties of state
ceremonials, and the only changes which
took place were those of dress and equip
ment. In 1917 steel helmets superseded
the brass ones, which in 1919 had replaced
the cooked hats, and in 1921, Mt the coro-
nation Of George ", these in their turn
gave way to bcarskin caps, similar to
those OF the grcnadiers, with q white
plume on the left side passing over the
crown. For this function, also, steel cui-
rasscs were again issued and have never
since been discarded. Tho present car.
bines were adopted at the same tirro as tho
helmets, and the long muskets, with bay.
onets and large horse pistols, wero dcpos.
tied In tho Tower.
And now we arrive at the last act--up
to date--in the history Of the Life guards
In 1853 they, In conjunction with the rest
OF tho Household troops, were ordered to
Egypt, and croakers were found who
prophesied that the long interval of peacs
would havo spoiled the efficacy OF the
guards and forotold the failure OF the
drawing room soldiers" How entirely
wrong those prophets Of evil were the re-
suits soon showed, and not only by the
famous midnight charge at Kassassin, but
by their whole record throughout tho cam.

as they had ever been, first rate fighting

they might be relied on TO do their duty az

M0BS IN COAL REGIONS.

UNIoNTowN, Pa, July 2.-The coke
strikers were more active today, and out
breaks were reported in different parts of
the region.
At Leith q mob OF Huns attacked a
number of workmen and two were se-
fiously injured. The strikers Assem- bled
near the company's houses and rushed on
the yards, hurting clubs and stones in
every direction.
The workmen fed and were pursued to
their homes by the foreigners. Work was
not resumed at once, but later in the
day the men returned to work.
lnformations have been made against
the Huns, for riot raids were also made at
the Morrell and Atlas plants, and the
workmen driven from the yards.
No one was injured. The raids have
caused great excitement among the
plants in the southern end of the region
and deputies will be called at once to pro-
tect the new men.

NEW YORK. May T.
The market remains professional and
irregular with active manipulation in some
of the industrial shares, while the railway
list is neglected and is inclined to droop
under prevailing conditions of depressiob.
The speculative sentiment is somewhat dis
couraged over the posptOnement of recovery
in railway earnings, which still fall below
the record of last year and the obstacles In
the path of the reorganization of properties
now in hands of receivers. There is an in
creasing disposition among bondholders to
insist upon their rights as creditors and
hence the fear is growing that stockholders
must assume the burden of assessments IN
order to preserve their equities in recon-
struction of finances of the companies.
Business in general still shows depression
and there is little propsect of revival so
long as the tariff question remains I'M
settled. The progress toward agreement at
Washington has been small, so far as results
yet appear, and it is by no means certain
that even a.modified tariff bill will become a
law for some months. Needed financial
legislation continues to be delayed by Con-
gress, while the usual spring exports of gold
are gradually lowering the amount of free
gold in the national treasury. 1t is import
ant in view of these unfavorable conditions,
not to extend entire confidence to the
future, and it seems desirable to operate
with extreme caution. But there is no
pressure of long stocks at the moment and
owners are tenaciously clinging to their
holdings In the hope that definite settle
ment of legislative questions will finally
tend to reinspire industrial activity. Until
some new development, like a reduction n
dividends or dangerous movement in gold
from the country, induces liquidation the
bear faction will be hampered in their oper-
atoms and for the moment it may be safe to
Euy stocks when prices are raided.
