WORTH IS DEAD.
The Man Dressmaker Of Paris
Passes Away Today.
The Ruler of Fashion Leaves
this Fleeting Show.
BORN IN ENGLAND.
N IN ENGLAND.
Paris Followed the Lead of a
Hated Britisher.
Made Dresses for Empress Eu-
genie and Other NOtables.

PARIS, March 11.-Worth, the famous
"man dressmaker," is dead
Charles Frederick Worth was born in
Bourne, Lincolnshire, England, in 1926.
At the age of 13 he was apprenticed to a
printer his parents desiring that he
learn that trade, but he evinced a strong
hostility to handling type and abandoned
the printing office after he had served
about seven. months. He then went to
London and through the assistance Of a
friend secured position in diapers
(dry goods) shop, which position he left
to enter the employment of Swan s.
Edgar, drapers, where he became a fa-
vorite.
He first conceived the idea of design
ing fashions through conversations with
the buyers of Swan 81 Edgar, and fire.
quently made suggestions which the
heads of department were not slow to see
in favorable light. The more he talked
with the buyers. the more he resolved to
go to Paris and soon began the study of
French. When about 81 years of age he
went to Paris, and shortly after his ar
rival in that city, secured position with
Gaselin s. Co., and in a few yeals was
placed at the head of department
In his new capacity he inaugurated
many new departures. While in the
employ of Gagelin & Co, he received
medals for displays at the London and
Paris exposition. Later be ablish ed
the firm of Worth and Boberg and in 1870
found the famous house of Worth. His
fame as a dressmaker abounded, and
among the many admirers of his skill
was the ex- Empress Eugene, for whom
he made elegant dresses.
1t has been said that while Paris rules
the world in fashion, the man who ruled
Psris-M. Worth, was a Lincolnshire,
England, lad, so that really it was an
Englishman who was the arbiter of the
worlds fashion.

A New Plan Evolved by President Ash
ley of the Wabash Railway.
PERU, Ind, March 11.-President Ash
ley, of the Wabash railway, has evolved
a new plan for pensioning and providing

$1,000 at death. For each five years SER
vice thereafter $1,000 additional would
be paid until the limit as provided is
reached.
His plan also provides for pension,
under which employees who become dis
abled or grow old in the service will re-
ceive stated amounts. The plan is meet
ing with favor among the men.

BREATHES THE FREE AIR.
Frank Palmer After Staying in Jail a
Year Is Let Go.

Frank Palmer After Staying in Jail =
Year Is Let Go.
Frank Palmer is a lucky man. Al
though he has been in the county jail q
year charged with the burglary of the
Missouri Pacific freight depot, and
has been twice convicted in the district
court, he left the court room this fore
noon free man.
After the first conviction Pal
mer was granted new trial
which was had in the dis
trict court only a few weeks ago.
The jury of twelve unbiased men found
him guilty again. 1t was another appli-
| cation for new trial that Judge Hazen
| passed on today. Palmer sat at the bar.
and bad looking customer he was. He
has a face that would ornament any
rogues' gallery, and all the lawyers felt
| glad their faces were not like his.
| Judge HaZen said:
81 will never sentence any man to the
| pententiary regarding whose guilt there
ls any reasonable doubt. In this case
twelve men have found this prisoner
guilty. His conviction was largely a
matter of identity on the part of Police
man Capron. The almanac shows that

mitted was dark, and the electric light

whom he knew to be heavily armed.
Il am inclined to thing that identi-
fication under these circumstances should

rested had no firearms. His conduct in
the city before the burglary was good.
He went to the police headquarters vol

reasons for thinking that other persons

ford, ''tnat l might as we'll enter a nolle
prosequi. We have no additional evi-
dence to offer"
"Do understand you to make such a
motion?" the court asked.
II do," replied County Attorney SAT-
ford.
"Very we'll, the prisoner is discharged .
Palmer picked up his seedy slouch
hat, made humble bow to Judge Hazen
and left the court room without a word
in a dazed sort of way.
Being tramp and unable to give
bond, Palmer has served year for an
| offense which he never committed.
He appears to be broken down in
health. Although far from PROPOSES

had the sympathy of every man in the
court room, when he breathed the. first
breath of free air since early last spring.
Under the circumstances he was fortu
nate as he escaped long term of years
at Lansing by the merest chance.
