dressmakors bill is large whether she docs
her work well or i'll. 1t is good plan for
everybody to have at least a little knowl-
edge of dressmaking, enough to allow Of
the venture of making thin summer
gowns at home, even If moro expensive
goods are put into professional hands. To
pay SIS for the making up of materials
that cost less than So seems scarcely q
reasonable outlay when the purse is only
moderately supplied
The home dressmaker will find that
skirt and sleeve patterns are more to be
relied upon than corsage patterns unless
she has the latter cut specially to measure.
If she has not and doubts her ability to
adapt one selected from the general cata-
logue, she may make the skirt and have a
regular dressmaker cut and fit the bodice,
which she herself can afterward trim to
match the skirt. II it is intended that
much dressmaking shall be done at home,
the easiest way is to go to u good tailor
and have pattern cut to measure. This
will give a correct foundation upon which
to construct variety Of gowns both for
street and evening wear.

HER PITY.

This is the room to which she came that day
Came, when the dusk was falling cold and
gray
Came with soft STEP in delicate array,
And sat beside me in the freight there;
And, like rose Of perfume rich and rare,
Thrilled with her sweetness the environing air.
We heard the grind of traffic in the street.
The clamorous calls-the sound Of passing
feet
The wall of bells that in the twilight beat
Then knelt down, and dared to touch her
hand
Those slender fingers, and the shining band
OF happy gold wherewith her wrist was
spanned
Oh, thought, By which despair is half consoledl
That slender hand lay once within my hold,
And round my own felt her fingers fold.
Her radiant beauty made my heart rejoice;
And then she spoke, and her low, pitying voice
Was like the soft, pathetic, tender noise
OF winds that come before summer rain;
Once leaped the blood in every clamorous
vein
Once leaped my heart, then dumb stood still
again.

WILSON HONORED.
Toasted by People Who Have Been
Benefited at the Expense of
American Labor.

LONDON. Sept 27.-At the Hotel
Metropole this evening an elaborate
and largely attended dinner was given
by the chamber Of commerce to Repre-
sentative William l.. Wilson, of West
Virginia. Mr.. Wilson's speech was
the event Of the evening.
After acknowledging the honor con-
ferred upon him and reciting the
events of the long struggle TO over
throw protection. Mr.. Wilson said:
All the people saw that our system was
generating brood of monopolists SO
powerful as to defy the law and which
used part of the wealth they drew from
sharing in the power of taxation, to in
crease their privileges, debauch elections
and corrupt legislation. l am quite sure
that our protective policy has already
served to promote the trade Of other ma
tionD and If continued it will still further
promote such trade and pre-eminently
your own.
So standing before you representative
OF those who are trying for a freer com
mercial policy from the United States, |
fear | cannot ask you to rejoice in its
adoption, except as you may prefer right
principles to selfish advantages.
Protection has seen our voluntary with
drawal from the seas and from the neutral
markets, Our protectionists have been
building defenses to keen you and other
nations from competing with us IN our
home markets, The tariff reformers are
breaking down these fences. Let us COM
pete in all the markets Of the world. Not
only is our production of cotton and food
products growing more rapidly than our
consumption, but we have today manu-
featuring plant which, urged to its full
capacity, can in six months fully meet our
demands for a year.

spcciaI 10 Tie Scranton Tribune.

LOUISVILLE, Sept. 27. AT today's
meeting o. the grand council of Young
Mems Institute, james Gaynor. of
Scranton, Pa, was elected grand
second vice president.
The greater part of yesterday was
spent in hearing the report Of the com.
mittee on credentials. and lively dis.
cussion consequent upon the commit
tees placing before the convention the
case Of the Charles Carroll council, No.
POP, of Covington, which had been sus-
pended in July by Bishop Macs on ac.
count of its having sold liquor Mt ons
of its pienics. The council was to be
out of the order until Sept 3O and as
this time had not expired it was deemed
improper for the delegates to be ad-
mitted. When the committee had pre-
ssnted the case motion was made to
admit the delegates to the floor, but
President Mahcr ruled the motion out
of order. A vote was taken on the rul-
ing and the chair reversed.
The motion was.then put for a vote
ana the delegates of the suspended
council were refused admission. This
conclusion was reached shortly after II
o'clock. when it was about time to ad-
journ for dinner. Just before an ad-
journment was taken the 70 flowing
telegram was received:

SH0RTLIDGE TRIAL.
The Wife Murderer is Acquitted on
the Ground of fInsaniiy by
the Jury.

MEDIA, Pa, Sept. 81 The trial oil
Professor S. c. Shortlidge, for the mur.
der of his wife. was resumed this
morning. The defense was begun to
show its eide of the case and as the
fact of the shooting is not in dispute.
the trial has resolved itself into con-
test between the medical men.
Those associated with the professor
in business and social life have been
called to show that his peculiar actions
ana general demesuor prior to the
tragedy, convinced them that he was
of unsound mind. Most of those who
testified today were physicians who
examined him during his illness and in
Jail.
DR.. W. 7. Dickson, who was called
in to examine the prisoner on Jan. 10
to determine whether or not he was in
sane. testified that he found MIN lying
on the floor partly dressed and in q
demented condition of mind.
DR.. D. W. Jefferis, one of the com
mission appointed by the court 10
examine the prisoner, DR.. j. l.. For
wood and DR.. Mills, of Philadelphia,
also testified. The former found the
defendant with dilated eyes and pulse
100. His arteries were like those of an
aged mon and he was suffering with
melanchola-a form of insanity.
DR.. D. D. Richardson. in charge of
the male department at the Norris
town Insane asylum, gave detailed
| statement of the patients condition
when he arrived and while confined at
the institution, the substance of which
was that Professor Shortlidge was in
sane at the time of the shooting and
when admitted to the asylum.
The testimony of the defense closed,
the commonwealth presented it's ex.
perts on insanity. DR.. Chaplin, of
Philadelphia, did not think it had been
established that Shortlidge was insane.
His condition heretofore was of a man
greatly depressed. He did not believe
that the professor had delusion. He
believed he had knowledge of his acts
and was not legally insane. or entirely
irresponsible for what he did. His
condition, he thought, when he saw
him, might have been caused by the
excessive use Of cocaine or some other
drug
DR.. F. X. Dercum, specialist on nerv.
GUS and mental diseases, testified simi-
lsrly to DR.. Chaplin. He examined
Professor Shortlidge, from what he
saw Of him and had heard he gave it
as his opinion that he was not mentally
irresponsible at the time of the killing
Upon the conclusion of the testimony
the district attorney defined the posi-
tion Of the commonwealth and was
followed by counsel for the defence.
After brief charge by Judge Clayton
the case was given to the jury. After
being closeted about an hour and
half the jury returned verdict Of
not guilty by reason of insanity. Pro.
fessor Shortlidge was heartily congra.
tulated by friends who crowded
around him. He was remanded to 1he
Norristown asylum until cured or re-
leased by death.

Professor WeeGen and W. Weeden
sang at the Young Mems Christian as.
sociation rooms last evening, and in

electrified their large audience with
the magnificent blending of their

Both musicians have very powerful
voices, but the ease with which they
sing the pianofortissomo passages is
wonderful.
Professor Weeden made q pathetic
appeal for the prayers of his audience
for his son. He said that 1t was the
happiest day of his life and that there
could be no happier man in the world.
Eight months ago his son was con-
verted, and as bis special mission was
to save the souls Of young men he be-
seeched the prayers of the young men
Of Scranton in his behalf.
