In prison Howgate was treated with
extreme consideration and allowed a
great degree of liberty. Among other
privileges he was permitted to go

times to battle. Howgate took advan-

Goes Prepared.

An unusual summons was received
over the telephone not long ago by
DR.. David Birney, of the University
of Pennsylvania, from a wealthy man
in New York, who wished him to go
to Long Island. DR.. Birney endeav-
ored TO find out something about the
nature of the case he was expected
to treat, but the man, after securing
his promise to go. refused to talk
further over the phone. The doctor
packed a case of instruments at ran
dom, and met the maj in New York.
After taking dinner at the Waldorf,
they took the train for Long Island,
but not a word was said about the
operation. When they arrived the
man thanked the doctor and paid
him $50; then, in response to the
look of wonder from the astonished
surgeon, said: II saw my sister bled
to death from the want of a physi-
clan, and since that day l have never
travelled without ne.n-Philadelphia

HOwgate and Nellie came to New York.
Howgate had always been a man Of
literary tastes and a knowledge Of
books. and 50 it does not seem unnat-
ural that he should open, as he did. a
secondhand book shop. He adopted
the name of Harvey Williams. and
soon became known to buyers of books
a. a gentleman. refined and elegant in
manner, and as a ~recluse and student.

APPEAL TO THE PUBLIC.
Things Growing Worse In the Model Town
Where Pullman Cars Are Built.

Some hundreds of people in the
model town of Pullman, ILL.,, are grad
ually starving to death. Startling as
is this statement it is literally true.
Since the great strike of June and July
ended the people there have continued
to exist only because of the charity OF
others. But after the public interest
in the strikers had died away the sup
plies which were being furnished to
the needy in the town OF Pullman cars
slowly but steadily decreased. The
climax has now been reached. seven
hundred people who applied at relief
Headquarters the other day were told
that there was nothing for them.
Undoubtedly something will be done
ct once for the deserving poor at Pull
man. County Commissioner David
Kallis is thor oughly in earnest in the
work which has fallen upon him. He
says: las soon as possible | am going
to secure a large storehOuse OF some
kin and then | am going TO ad lress a
circular to the citizens of Chicago.

sary. This is the only way provisions

The Evolution of the Sleeve.

The evolution of the sleeve, from
the clOse-itting, uncomfortable affair
of a few years ago to the exaggerated
balloon and fantastic arrangement
which bears the name today is an
interesting example Of the influence
of fashion on taste. 1t is, of course,
an accepted fact that fashions must
change, otherwise the styles OF dress
would become a WEAKNESS to the eye,
but if Il limit could be put on the
variations in sleeves that would keep
them within the range of beauty and
graceful outline 1T would be a step
toward improvement. Some of the
styles are m%Odernilcd copies of sleeves
in the old portraits, and are worthy
of illustration fer their ingenuity and
eccentricity OF design rather than
for their beauty and usefulness. A
very peculiar variety has the full
ness laid in deep plaits at the inside
seam, and is trimmed with Nandyke
points of lace which half cover the
sleeve. Another has deep, plain cuff
on lower sleeve, which is cut with a
band on the top that extends to the
shoulder. Circular cuffs at the elbow
and circular epaulet at the shoulder
arc still another fancy, and draped
butterfly putfS are divided by two
plated rufties. The puffs are really
pretty for evening sleeves when made
over another sleeve of la e.
