SIZE DEALS IL DERRrcKs.

Derricks are prosaic, but profitable,
MS Mrs. Henry ID. Cram, of Boston,
has demonstrated. For several years
Mrs. Cram has devoted herself to this
business, which presumably offers few
attractions to the feminine mind, and
has amassed wealth therefrom. Now
she has made arrangements to furnish
the derricks and parnphernalia to be
used in the erection of all the build
ing, which will be of stone, at the
Paris Exposition.
There will be seventy-fve derricks
in use, and Mrs. Cram will go over
and personally superintend the plac-
ing Of them. 1t may be a satisfaction
to woman to know that Mrs. Cram
will prove a fitting representative of
American business women. She is
good looking, cultivated and refined
and wears bee oming costumes. What

USES OF OLD wArERpRoors.

Every household probably possesses
two or three discarded rubber water
proofs of the black shiny variety that
was 80 very much in vogue about ten
years ago, says Harper's Bazaar. Al
though now entirely superseded by a
more desirable garment, they may still
he utilized in many practical ways.
One of the most satisfactory transfor-
nations is the soap.bubble suit. II
mothers of restless children could but
know what peacemaking influence
such uniforms exert within doors on
rainy days they would feel almost
tempted to buy the new garment just
to transform it into soap-bubble ar
NOR. This is made most easily into
overall aprons with large sleeves that
will slip over the ordinary outside
dress. The apron is then fastened by
long strings which tie at neck and
waist, and which make it easily adap.
table to children Of different sizes.
For very little children who are likely
to upset the soap-suds every few min
utes simply made suit, consisting of

eDed with a drawing.string around the
waist, is proof against cold or damp
ness. A simple pattern is that of the
creeping apron worn by very young
children. Thus protected, 1 have
known a family of children to splash
and daoble to their hearts content an
entire afternoon. If the pieces of
waterproof which are left over are
sewed together and made into lining
for an old blanket, rug or shawl, it
will be found to make a most useful
outdoor mat for young baby. If
placed out on the lawn, the child may
roll around on the rug, enjoying the
sunshine and fresh air thoroughly pro-
tected from the damp ground. Small
Ter strips of the black waterproof are
very useful for tacking on screen or
spring doors, which are apt to shut
with disagreeable noise.

MAKES A LIVING FROM APRONS.

A clever young woman, barely
twenty, who has within the last two
or three years established q steady
patronage of her wares among the So
ciety women of the city, confessed to
one of her patrons day or two since
that her income last year was over
$4,000. The commodity is aprons.
Over 5000 of these were made and sold
last year. The young lady has been
engaged in apron manufacture since
the age of thirteen. Left an orphan,
she undertook this work AS a means of
support. Her neatness and deftness
soon made the work paying venture,
and now, by her efforts she is educst-
ing two young brothers. as well as
providing for herself.
The woman formerly canvassed with
her aprons from house to house; now
she needs but TO take orders, as her
liability has been proven and her work
is known to be satisfactory. She manu-
features her aprons through the win
ter and spring, and usually devotes
about six weeks in the summer to the
taking of orders and the delivery of
the goods. AS aprons are necessity
of the wardrobe and in constant wear
and tear, a market which brings the
same to the door has come to be
greatly appreciated both by mistress
and maid, and the clever canvasser il
now sure OF welcome wherever she
goes. 49,

BRAIDs.

The utility of braids as a trimming
is fully demon strated on the import
ed and domestic garments of this sea-
sons manufacture. Jackets with braid
trimming in military designs are not
only exceedingly tasty. but are sure
to be sellers. Fancy capes, with rows
of heavy woven braid the entire
length, is one of the latest styles
shown. Other uses OF braid point to
a universal demand for the same to
take the place OF the bias volveteen.
There is no denying the advantage of
the former, "a the wearing qualities
are three times greater. The best
style for such use is narrow braid with
cord edge.
The cord edge will give service
which will outlast the bias velveteen
many times, besides it is a much more
handsome article. Some OF the best
buyers hail this chnnge with delight,
for they have got heartily sick of the
other article, and the constant com
plants which customers make. The

READING DISPLAYS TEETH.
The Tempest. Tossed Railroad Company
Shows Disposition to Make War Upon
the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Central.

Philadelphia, March Sit developed
today that a war between three of the
leading anthracite carrying roads is
brewing. The management of the
Reading company, it was learned, have
notified the Lehigh Valley and Jersey
Central companies that If they do not
consent to give the Reading larger
share of through freight rates on coal
beginning next Monday that the Read
ing will refuse to haul coal originating
at points on either of the other lines
to points south OF Bethlehem and East
Penn Junction. If the Lehigh Valley
and Jersey Central companies will not
accede to this demand, the Reading
will, on Monday, place an embargo
upon their coal, and as result no Le-
high or Wilkes-Barre coal will be
brought to Philadelphia. The dealers
who make a speciality Of those brands
will be forced to furnish their custo-
mers with coal from the Reading
mines.
Neither of the companies upon which
war has been declared has made reply
to the Readings manifesto, but Presi-
dents Wilbur and Maxwell have con-
ferred upon the subject and it is not
improbable that they will adopt the
same policy. The matter will come
up for consideration tomorrow at the
meeting of the Lehigh Valley directors,
when the course to be pursued by that
company will presumably be finally
decided upon.
If the Lehigh Valley and Jersey Cen
trail decide not to yield to the demand
made upon them, and the Reading 8
threat Is carried into effect, the former
will doubtless retaliate. 1t has been
suggested that they might make an ar
rangement with the Pennsylvania raj,
road to carry their coal into this city
but there is, of course, an objection
to that by reason of the fact that the
retail dealers whom they serve are To-
Gated at points distant from the Penn
sylvania's points of distribution.
Another method of retaliation that
might be adopted is the refusal of the
Jersey Central to allow the Reading to
continue to use the terminal of the
former in Jersey City. This would be
serious blow to the Reading, and
might be followed up by the cutting OF
coal prices at all points at which the
three companies come into competition

PRINCETON WEAKENS.
Refuses TO Hold Further Athletic Con.
tests with University Of Pennsylvania
for Fear Of ArOusing Bitterness.

for Fear Of ArOusing Bitterness.
Philadelphia, March 1.-The chief
topic of conversation today is the Off
cial announcement by Princeton that
she will hold no further athletic con-
tests with the University of Pennsyl-
vania. A prominent University man
said today: 1T has been known for
several weeks that Princeton was look
ing for an excuse to justify her in TAX
Ing such step, but it has surprised all
that she would offer such a weak one,
viz: because the game occasions bitter
ness of feeling between the two insti-
tutions.' 1t is the general belief at the
University that the real cause is to be
found in an examination of the results
of the contests between the two insti-
tutions during 1894"
Continuing he said: "In base ball,
Princeton won the first game by a
score Of to 3. Pennsylvania won the
second by score of % to 8. Princeton
refused to play the third or deciding
game. In track athletics Pennsylvania
made 97la points at the Princeton open
games on May 8, while Princeton made
but %. On May Is Pennsylvania de-
feated Princeton in the annual relay
race by more than forty yards. At the
Mott Haven athletic games held in New
York May &C. Pennsylvania scored 2OA
points, while Princeton did not score a
single point. In foot ball, Pennsylva-
MIA won the annual game by a score of
Il to 0.
'Since athletics have been in the as
cendancy at Pennsylvania, she has won
from Princeton six out of the last ten
games of base ball, two out of the last
three annual foot ball games, and has
taken more points than Princeton at
the Mott Haven athletic games during
the last two years"

ASSAULTED AND ROASTED.
A White Girl Becomes the Victim Of q
Negro Fieud


Jacksonville, Fla, March 5.-Near
Hawthorne, Alachua county, Florida,
yesterday evening Annia Jenkins. 16-
year-old white girl was assaulted by a
negro and then roasted. The girl was
returning home from a neighbor's and
was walking on the railroad track. She
discovered some ties on fire and at
tempted to eXtinguish them. While
thus engaged, a negro seized her,
dragged her into the bushes and re-
peatedly abused her.
With fiendish cruelty the brute then
held the girl over the burning ties until
her clothing was in a blaze. He then
threw her into a muddy place near the
track and escaped. The girl became
unconscious and was so found several
hours later by her father, who, alarmed
by her absence, went in search. When
she recovered consciousness she told
the above story.
Posses are searching for the negro
and If caught the whites swear they
will burn him at the stake. The girl
will hardly recover
