DRESSMAKERS' BILLS.
A French Story with Moral for Ex-
travagant Wives.

A French Story with a Moral for Ex-
travagant Wives.
Following the dispute of Mrs. Cooper
Hewitt and her milliner comes the story
of frantic discussion in Paris as to
whether a man is responsible for the
bills his wife may run up at her dress
makers, says the New York World. 1t
has always been supposed that in such a
case as this the unfortunate husband
would have to open his pocketbOok wide
and pay the amount even though his
heart-strings tugged. But the Paris
courts have said no to this, and there is
a wild stir in consequence throughout
the entire world of bodice, skirt and
coat designers. The story is a simple
one A certain Partisan manufacturer
had q spouse who, while exemplary in
every other respect, had for two years
been running up a dressmaker's bill and
paying nothing on account The bill
finally assumed the amazing proper
lions of $4,000. The husband meanwhile
was in complete ignorance Of her eX-
traVagance, and his first intimation Of
it was upon presentation of the bill
Assuming the mastery of his household
and bidding defiance to the world at
large, he contested the claim, with the
result that the Court Of Appeal cut down
the bill to 1900, and decided that was all
he should pay. The arguments Of the
French judiciary were that the husband
was not bound if his wife's expenditure
was out of proportion to his means and
out of proportion to the circle in which
they both lived. The crucial point in the
case was that during these two years
the dressmaker had made neither in
curry of nor referred to him.

WOULD NOT ACCEPT.
The Striking Mill Men Reject the Offer OF
A Ten Per Cent Advance

The committee representing the
Business Mems association called at
the Brass Mill this morning as per APP
pOintment and met Mr. futile i'll refer
ence to the demand for raise of wages
to the old scale made by the striking
employees. Mr.. futile said the prices
received for the output of the mills is
much less than it was in 1892 and that
the company cannot afford to pay the
same wages that we're then paid. cit
seems to me" said Mr.. Tuttle, that
the men made a mistake in walking out
without consulting with me. did not
know that strike was contemplated
until came to the mill Tues
day morning. [ want to treat
our men fairly and only wish that
labor would be so we'll employed
that | couldn't hire man for less than
So day. Times would then be better
and we could make some money. am
willing to take the men back to work
and will raise their wages as soon as we
can afford to do it,"
Upon being requested to make a
definite proposition which might be
taken to the men for their considera-
ton, Mr.. Tuttle said that all the men
could return to work without discrim-
alton, and that beginning the first day
of August another advance of ten per
cent. would be made in the wages of all
the mill hands who struck on Monday
This would make three advances of ten
per cent. each within six months, and
that was the very best proposition the
company could make. The committee
then waited upon the men and inform
ed them that proposition had been
made by Mr.. futile and it would be
communicated to them at 1:3O o'clock
if they would all meet at the Forrester's
hall prepared to accept or reject it by
vote of the majority.
At 1:30 o'clock the committee met
the strikers at their hall, and after the
meeting had been called to order by
Chairman O'Hare, E. L. Grant for the
committee reported the result of the
conference with Mr.. Tuttle, and that
they could all return to work at a ten
per cent. advance, but the proposition
was unanimously rejected and the de-
cision was followed by loud applause.
The men say they will not return to
work for anything less than their
former wages, and there the matter
stands. The work of the committee
has proved fruitless of results, and the
strike will probably continue until a
settlement is made by the state board
OF arbitration or through some other
means. At the conference this after
noon, speeches were made by several
of the men, all urging the men to not
accept anything less than they asked
for. Another meeting will be held to-
night and the reports of some commit
tees will be heard and acted upon.

Sees a Chance For valkyrie.

LONDON, Aug. 3.-The Field says this
morning: The Vigilant and Defender

pitch that Valkyrie III has good chance

Vigilant's improved form are mere guess
work, and most people here think that the

in adopting the old-fashioned British idea,
long ago discarded, that under all condi-
tions low-placed keel will do duty for
breadth in the matter of sail. carrying

gave the Vigilant on "Wednesday will not
efface tho effect of Tuesdays trial. 1t
seems that the Defenders designers have
made a retrograde movement, and a skip

ought to win the cup in the same precise
manner In which the Britannia wins cups

Feb 13 of the prevent year Mrs. Jane
Roberts appeared before the supreme
court here and present d q lot OF testi.
mony In support OF the allegations OF
dssertion and non.support. In her peti-
tioD for divorce the decree was granted
largely for the reason that the documents
showed there had been service OF citation
upon the respondent husband, and he
failed to appear and make any answer.
The bill was granted with the usual re-
striction that the husband should not
marry within six months.
July Ia last Mrs. Roberts was struck
bya locomotive on the New York, New
Haven & Hartford at Lonsdale, and she
died two days later at her home In Ash
ton. She was then going by her maiden
name, Jane Duxbury. At the time Of
this accident Roberts first learned that
his wife had obtained q divorce from
him, and he thereupon began an investi.
cation with the result that he filed q pc
tition In court tasKing to have the
decree set aside.
He claimed inability on account OF con-
sumption to support his wife, and he al
legged that she was with friends able to
care for the family.
The petition sets forth that Roberts
married June "a, 80, and that his wife de-
serted him when four doctors pronounced
him incurable and refused to ssive with
him when he recovered a year ago.
