1t seems that Wilson has been for some
time confined in an asylum, but returned
home few weeks ago apparently cured.
He secured employment az laborer at
the pork packing house Of John p. Squire
& Co., East cambridge. Yesterday his
actions appeared strange, and his wife
was afraid that he was about to become
insane again. Everything passed on we'll

he became an infuriated maniac.
He secured razor and chased his wife
around the kitchen and caught her at the
head OF the stairs. de caught her by the
hair and pulled her head back and drew
the razor across her throat. She either
ran down or fell down the stairs, IA when

hot and cold, dry and wet by turns, and

expect mild individual infusion OF that
quality. In an election year in Massachu-

AS the trade thermometer in this city

Black clothes for men are undeservedly
popular. The belief that they make a
man look like gentleman and gentle
man look like the concentration Of seven
gentlemen, is the bull Of the tailor shop.
Men wear black from ignorance or in
difference, because they don't
know any better, or for the
simple reason that other men do, say
the tailors, who allege that there are only
four types to whom the melancholy stun
is becoming rogues, fat men, ministers
and men bowed down with grief and
damaged reputation. Black is diminish
ing, depressing, inartistic, forbidding,
aging and expensive. II makes man look

THE SEVENTH WEEK
Will Doubtless Witness Substantial
Progress on the Tariff.
Partisan and Economic Lines VIII
Crop Out in the State Bank Issue
Discussion.


WASHINGTON, May cf-The senate be-
gan the seventh weeks discussion of the
tariff bill today by taking up the metal
schedule.
The prospect now Is that the entire week
will be devoted to the tariff without at
tempting any other business than that
can be done in the first half hour Of the
Saily sessions, and possibly an occasional
brief executive session after o o'clock for
the disposition Of uncontested nomina-
tions. Af
Senator Harris has reaffirmed his inten-
tion of pushing the bill forward rapidly,
but he said he had no idea of an attempt
to extend the daily sessions beyond 6
o'clock as long as the work should go on
~ satisfactorily as it is going at present.
Senator Aldrich expressed the opinion
that the week will be spent upon the
metal and woolen schedules, ald he says
the discussion Mill go on much as IL has
during the past week-that the Republi-
cans will allow some of the items Of the
bill to go unchanged. and they will ask
explanations and give their opinions Of
changes made in others.
He says that many paragraphs Of the
publicans, and that, taking the times and
conditions which now prevail into con-
sideration. the rates in some instances
are even more liberal than those of the
Mckinley law. He says. however, that
there is dissatisfaction with the miscel-
laneous items Of the schedule, and that
these will cause considerable debate. He
also says the lumber question will be dis
orru uCdr n Il, IL .l~l
Senator Aldrich thinks IL improbable
that the sugar schedule will be reached
during the week., while Senator Harris
considers it possible that it may be- They
agree that this schedule will develop q
sharp debate.
Lively Time Promised.
The state bank issue, which has been
gathering strength at caucuses and con-
ferencesexer- since congress Assem- bfed,
promises to be fought to finish in the
house this week. @
1t will bring cut sharp contest on
party as we'll as economic lines, as the
state bank plank OF the Democratic plat
form has advanced the question TO place

OF the week will be the reporting from

On Thursday Mr.. Bland will again try

EASTERN LEAGUE.
Standing OF the Clubs and the Hole
the Grays Are In.

the Grays Are In.
The Providence Grays have been play
ing ball together now for three weeks,
and II must be acknowledged that they
are in a pitiable plight with very little
hope for relief unless radical measures
are resorted to. The team has been steadily
falling behind until 1t Is 80 deep in the last
ditch that hope has almost fled from even
hearty supporters. Ii Is generally con-
ceded that Providence is the best city in
the Eastern League and here IL is support
ing the weakest team of the lot. It's gen.
erous, to say the least, because some team
must be at the bottom and perhaps this
city can stand the situation better than
any other. 1t would seem SO at any rate.
A strong baseball nine is probably as good
an advertiser as anything that city can
support. Ii makes the town talked about
and calls to mind something that might
otherwise be overlooked by the busy resi-
dents of other large centers. It's poor
rule that wont work both ways, conse-
quently a very bad baseball team some
times attracts attention to a
city and makes it talked about
and that's about where Providence stands
at the present time. 1t has this advantage.
The newspapers call attention to the fact
that the Grays surprised everyone by
winning q game, and harp on the fact that
the clam diggers are strong tail-enders.
There is a chance to change the tune,
however, IL prompt steps are taken by those
most directly concerned. Eight or ten
consecutive victories would place the
home club in cheering place, and make
a base ball boom when the Grays return
to town.

lutely plain, although many-coiored shirts
with white collars are worn.
The lighter these. suits are inetone the
better the effect. They have tendency
to make man look bright, smart, and
happy and best OF all young. They are
hazel shades. Another material for
genteel sack suit Is blue or blue black
serge. IL makes good cool suit. More
over, IL Is always in style for any age.
For service. comfort and economy IT - the
prince OF business suits.
In society IL Is morning until o'clock
in the afternoon, and for those popular
young men who have semi-ceremonious
engagements there are odd business suits.
For instance, the cutaway suit is made OF
Scotch goods, rough homespuns, Thibet
effects and mixed gray or black cheviots.
The four button coat, worn buttoned al
ways, has pockets and flaps and its loosely
in the chest. This is horsey, and with
neat tie OF gingham check silk, red brown
gloves and tan boots OF hogskin, the
youth goes on the promenade, the coach
or the tennis court, 10 fiirt, or TO call and
drink tea and lemon juice. Another neat
material TO run away from business Is In
vicuna cloth in invisible colors. IL
drapes nicely and Is rich looking
without being gaudy. All the jewelry a
man can afford should be worn by his
wife. Pearl buttons for the collar, shirt
front and cuffs are the proper thing.
French calf is the gentleman's shoe.
Brown Is but q fad the same as hogskin
with kid tops. Don't do 1t.
The spring styles in stationery for
women vary SO far as the color rs con-
cerned, from Venetian blue to a new shade
known as Prince of Wales Gray. White is
out of date with fin de steele women. The
latest style demands shape for the
sheet of by o inches and an envelope
6h by AZ inches. Ragged edges
are positively vulgar, while paper with
lines in il is in the worst taste. The
French quadrille, better known as the
paper with lines running both ways Is al
ways standard fashion. 1t Is one
OF the few things which are dis
tinctiy feminine 10 which the end
of the century woman will cling. She
may wear mannish clothes, talk about
the destiny of the sex and the elimination
of the word male from the constitution,
but she persists in writing both ways in
her letters, one line on top of others.
Rough paper is always fashionable, but
the satin finish is much used. Square
envelopes are nolonger fashionable.
