gel in War and Famine

Any one who has ever lived in Washington,
or visited there, and who has happened to
saunter along Seventeenth street, must have
noted the old, historic mansion, Just oppo-
site the State Department. % In war days, it
was used as a headquarters for the staff Off
GERS, and Grant, Meade, Hooker and other
noted military leaders have at different times
had rooms in it. But a new spirit now per-
vades the old military station for, of late, it
has been turned into camp of the hosts Of
peace and healing. 1t is the national head
quarters of the Red Cross Society, and there
its president and founder, Miss Clara Barton,
one of the noblest women of any century,
. makes her headquarters. Her home it can
not be called in the usual sense, for Clara
Barton's home is among the sick and MANNED,
the destitute and the dying, in whatever part
of the world they may be; but when the Red
Cross forces are not in the field of duty
where their leader always accompanies them
Miss Barton can usually be found in the
old mansion, where she directs the affairs of
the society with skill that would put many
doughty general or cabinet officer to the
blush.

found myself beside queenly-looking, elder
ly lady, petite, but gracefully proportional,
with wonderfully bright eyes, that looked at
you most pleasantly, and a full, firm, yet
kindly mouth, which seemed to smile every
time the lips parted She was a stately lady,
too and her quiet style of dress and couture,
1 thought, gave her something of a Quaker
aspect that was not without its charm.
Rarely have 1 listened to woman's voice
that had more in it of both strength and
tenderness, resolution and sympathy. Her
talk gives evidence of culture and wide
acquaintance with the world, for she has WIS.,
tied many lands, and done service to human
ity alike under the burning sun of the trop-
les, and the SHOWS of Russia. The story of
Miss Barton's life is more than romance;
it is an epic. New England farmers
daughter, she taught at village school;
next, a factory hand; then, with young ambi-
ton struggling for an education until health

bre or bingham dress, made to wear with
white CAMP. 1t is quite full in skirt and de-
void of trimming save for three pearl but
tons which fasten down in front and back, a
plain piece of white edged blue embroidery,
three ruffies from the short elbow sleeves,
each one narrower than the other. A fourth
ruffie extending over the shoulder and end
ing at the turned over buttoned piece, is
made from white edged blue embroidery.
For dancing, dinner and evening wear, for
ladies' satin is the most popular material,
though dainty shades of MORE also find
favor. The Short skirt prevails; not even
ademi-train is permissible. For once, fashion
is in accord with comfort and grace, and
skirts are gradually growing narrower. The
draped skirts which are now in vogue are
only three and half yards around The
quainter and more picturesque the evening
gown, the more favor bestowed upon the
designer. Among favorite materials and
colors is the taffeta faconne, with its ever
changing color and delicate designs. The
lighter and more fluffy materials are used in
profusion for dancing and reception gowns.
The newest material is mousseline de sole,
with soft filmy finish.
The new silk waists are in two varieties,
those that end at the waist and those that
flow out over the hips in variety of patterns,
all of them, however, having more or less
method in their arrangement. They are
among the most sensible articles of dress
ever invented for ladys comfort especially
in travelling, for if only small baggage is
carried, a lady can always look nicely dressed
at chance entertainment, the theatre, or din
ner. She has onlyto slip off the waist to her
travelling dress and don fancy silk waist,
and she finds herself ready for almost any
emergency. One that saw which would be be-
coming to nearly any lady was of green taffeta
silk, made with a full waist ending in broad
belt upon which was one row of white lace
insertion, ruffie about six inches wide with
white lace insertion set in about an inch from
edge of ruffle, and falling down across the
breast, over the shoulders and across the
back, high, full sleeves finished at the bottom
by one row of insertion, high standing collar
of the silk trimmed with plain band of the
lace.
The waist below is made of black or gray
taffeta silk figured a full waist ending in
broad belt. Over the shoulders are double
capes of the silk, one a few inches shorter
than the other, and both having black lace
guimpe insertion set in about one inch from
the edge of the capes. High standing collar
of the silk trimmed with one row of the in
sertion, high full sleeves with one row Of

insertion at the bottom. This waist is very
effective and beautiful for a middle-aged
lady, and is suitably made up in gayer colors
for younger faces.
beautiful spring costume of brown and
tan check is shown. The skirt is about four
yards around, the front and side widths cut
on the straight and the back widths on the
bias. The back breadths are slightly draped
near the belt by two stiff standing open
pleats. The bottom of the skirt is plain, but
just below the hips and extending about the
skirt is double full ruffie. The waist has
foundation of check silk, but the bust is en-
tirely covered bya full front of gathered
brown chiffon extending from throat to belt,
which is made of combination of brown
velvet chiffon and green satin, high collar
and very long sloping shoulders. The sleeves
are made in the new shape, not at all high,
but standing straight out from the top, very
full, and gathered in two very full ruffies just
below the shoulder seam, the whole finished
with a fancy cuff of brown chiffon, brown
velvet and green satin. medium brimmed
brown lace and chiffon hat comes with this,
as also do low shoes with patent leather
vamps, brown glazed kid gloves and brown and
green chiffon parasol. The whole is a very
chic, handsome costume.
Chamois is again introduced for vests and
cuffs, and has very pretty as well as: odd
effect when combined with brown. To make
any costume look complete the hat, shoes,
gloves and parasol should match. Even in
cheap material costume of this kind will be
much more effective than odd colors put to-
gether.

Girls, DO Not Use Slang,

have often had to blush to hear girls use
slang, or at least attempt to. catching nm tbe
bye-words of the street, and using them as if
they were the familiar speech of home IT.
Shows first, that the person is not accom-
pushed In speech, and has limited range of
words, which does her no credit The use of
right words comes from the association with
other minds, either in books or in society or
home. girls mind can be judged by her
choice OF words, and that choice is influenced
by her associates largely But the great and
overwhelming reason for the girls not using
slang IS, that often, perhaps one should say
generally, slang originates in some anecdote
oftentlmes exceedingly vulgar, and of evil
intent. have heard girls use slang phrases.
that If stranger heard, he would conclude
that they were familiar with obscene and vile
stories, so vile that gentlemen would not
repeat them to each other. Yet they had
heard men use these expressions. and had
used them themselves, entirely unconscious
OF their meaning. They would have shrunk
back with horror from the use of suck words
IL they had known in what they originated.
The language of concert halls, saloons and
low resorts, of the vilest places oftentimes
filters into the public speech, and is taken
up by the press. and girls are apt to adopt
these expressions, when if they knew the
origin of them, they would not for the world
make use of them. Good. clean. clear whole

smith and Addison could write, is the proper

slang to brighten language with, they tread
on dangerous ground. once heard a pretty
girl, as good as she was pretty, use some
slang phrases, very much in vogue with GER
tain people, at that time After she had
stepped aside, a young man said to another:
"Is it possible that she has the slightest
comprehension of the origin of the words
she has been using?' The other said 81

the far end of his corridor, where he

arm that was moment later to drop
the young men into eternity.
The great bell on the city hall pealed
out its ghostly notes. The sheriff hesi-
tated as though waiting for the last
measure to be played. Four beats tolled
off the first quarter. The sheriff seemed
about to launch the climax. But the
dismal old bell started in on the second
measure, and he hesitated. The last
note of that measure came, and then the
pause.
Again the high official seemed nerv-
ing himself for the launch.
But like a voice from the grave the
great bell started in upon the third
measure.
And the sheriff seemed to feel re-
lieved.
The fourth beat came! And then the
bell was done!
For just a moment the only sound
that broke the stiffness was the heart
tbrobs of the spectators.
Then, with suddenness that made
everybody jump. the lever was jerked!
Down into the two holes dropped the
two forms!
The surging and writhing could not
be seen by those on the platform. Only
the doctors went below to watch the
throbbing away of life.
1t was just 5:45 when the lever was
pulled, and twelve minutes later the
doctors pronounced life extinct in Won
igkeit, and a second later they pro-
nounced Ermisch dead.
The doctors present were Charles A.
Wheaton, E. j. Abbott. II. j. OBrien,
Coroner Whitcomb and Deputy Coroner
Robert Wheaton.
And thus two young desperadoes paid
the penalty with their lives upon the
gallows for the terrible murder of Will

at the saloon of l.. r. Kohlman, corner
of Wabasha and College avenue.
Preparing Them for Death.

Kinney, George FL. Irish, Reuben Clew-

cells at 500 a. IN. Sheriff Chapel told
the boys that their time had come. He
did not read the death warrant 10 them,
because they had waived the reading.
The boys received the announcement
unmoved.
The deputy sheriffs then stepped into
the cells and bound the boys hands be-

tive. She knocked timidly at the closed
door and it was opened. Deputy Sheriff
Irish was spoken to in whisper. and,
closing the door. left her standing on
the outside. The girl removed her
heavy veil to wipe the perSDiration
from her face, and it was seen that she
was as pale as death. In few moments
Deputy Irish returned and she was

matron, where she told in a weak and

She had left her home in the outskirts
of the city alone and walked to the jaH
to see again her brother in life. When
asked where her mother was, she said
"At home." She told no one OF
her intended visit and had slipped
off quietly. One of the deputies
told her that her brother had been told
that she was there and desired to see
him, but he had sent word that he had
taken his final farewell of her on Tues
day, and did not care to repeat the
scene. She made no reply. and plac-

HIS ATTEMPTS AT SUICIDE.
Often Did He Try to Choke
Himself to Death in
His Cell.

At II o'clock the boys were walking
up and down the corridor patiently,
even cheerfully. submitting to one of
the new terrors of death in the forn of
selections from Gospel Hymns, when
the GLOBE reporter met them at the
end of the walk and furnished them a
match for their unlighted cigarettes.
Mrs. Chapel was standing outside the
railing when Ermisch said to her:
You had better 60 to bed, Mrs.
Chapel, and get some rest"
Il think you boys had better lie down
and take some rest" replied the sherlff's
wife: you need it worse than do"
"Oh, never mind about u.s." said Err
misch, We'll soon have all the rest we
will need"
Both the boys seems to be in excellent
spirits at this time, and occasionally
joined in line or two of the hymns
that were being sung, but it was evil
dent that their cheerfulness was
largely assumed. and they walked and
talked because they could not Si
still or be silent. When Ermisch ap-

whose hand grasped the lever.
The depuly sheriffs inclined their
heads.
Sheriff Chapel paused a second, then
he pulled the lever.
The traps fell, and the bodies of
Ermlsch and Wonigkeit shot down
into the apartment beneath. Their
heads disappeared completely from
the view of the spectators above.

stairs. DR.. O,Brien exa mined the pulse

The execution was wholly successful,

physicians, was painless to the men.

Florence Wonigkeit, the fifteen year.
old sister of Otto. made her appearance
at the Jail at midnight. She was dressed
in deep black, aud wore heavy Grape
veil. She was alone. and came TO take
another farewell of her erring brother.
She made her way through the mass Of
people who stood around the Jail without
speaking word. The crowd seeing her
opened the way, land she passed through
without touching them. She seemed
like specter from an unknown region,
and the crowd swayed back as if fearful
of touching her. The women as they
saw her looked frightened, and not even
a man could find voice to say word.
but women gave suppressed cries
as if in fear. The girl made
her way up the steps, where
half-doZen deputies stood guard.
They, like the policemen, did not
challenge her way, feeling, rathe I
than knowing, that she was near relas

racing over his frame. and realized
more deeply than any of the onlookers
could the awful terror that had taken
possession of the youth.
For moment he leaned back as
though he would make one last des-
perate effort for preservation. while
his eyes rolled and glittered and stared.
But this was only momentary. He
seemed to become dazed by his terror !;
then he yielded to the movements of the
officers at his sides and walked trem-
blingly down the steps from the Jail door
upon the platform; making room for
Otto Wonigkeit, who was following be-
tween two other deputies.
"Oh-," and the suppressed eXclama-
ton from Otto as he too caught a
glimpse of the gruesome nooses and
traps, died away in a long and half
stranglng breath.
Otto could say no more. He could
only stare. He was benumbed. Like
frightened and helpless bird, he seemed
to see nothing. yet his eyes were wide
open. He walked between the guards
down the steps as if in trance.
The platform was we'll filled with
people. But the moment the condemned
men appeared there was silence as grue-
some as the engine Of death that was
soon to do its work.
The traps occupied the east side of
the platform. The doomed youths were
led up to them, Ermisch facing the one
on the court house side and Wonigkeit
the next to the jail. Then both were
faced about and backed upon the traps.
AS the moose dropped over the neck
of Ermisch gurgling sound escaped
his throat, as though he had tried to
scream, but lacked the strength to do
it. His whole frame trembled like an
aspen leaf. His face was as colorless
as the whitest snow. His eyes pro-
truded from their sockets. The balls
were glazed.
Wonigkeit was pale and limp. Nature
was kinder with him, for it seemed to
have placed him beyond acute suffer-
ing.
AS deputy began pulling the cap
down over the face OF Ermisch he tried
to say goodbye. but he could only
