Which Accounts for the Crawford Bros

The first one of the Topeka people
who started out to share with Orlin and
Chester Crawford the ups and downs,
joys and sorrows of tent show life, has
returned to Topeka. He is William
Trimley, of 718 Lake street
Trimley brings back the news that the
show is not doing we'll On one occasion
the receipts, after paying expenses, left
only margin of sixty cents
Trimley quit the show at St Marys, as
did his brother in-law, John Maxon.
When the musicians got proud and COM
planned because the teamsters ate at the
same table, Trimley and Maxon were
indignant They had three four
horse teams They say they have not
been paid.
The balloon, which was billed to make
an ascension at every town, only went up
once. This was a disappointment to the
country crowds who gathered around,
and possibly has had something to do
with the failure of the show to make
money. The only place where the bal
loon went up was St Marys, and the
event was exciting aud successful.
II can't blame Prof johnson for not
wanting to go up every day." Trimley
says It's risky business at Dests anu
the professor was only paid So week.

either. He never went up when the

1t is reported that one of the property

ers also left the show because their
salaries were not forthcoming.
The press notices along the route that
has thus far been made, have not been
altogether fattering. At Hiawatha the
people were indignant because the bal
loon didn't go up The performers said
that the balloon had sprung leak, al

to Pay.
In his annual address President W. K.
Priest of Concordia spoke of legislation
from physicians stand point
He said: 1.-THE physician is the most
neglected of any profession from legis-
lative stand point do not think we
are on the decline, but if we are it is on
the line of legislative neglect and be-
cause we have conducted our practice
too much as philanthropic pursuit.
''The profession, while maintaining its
hold, is the prey of the venal press, of
the shyster lawyer, the demagogue judge
and their creation, the blackmaiIer, be-
cause of our philanthropy, and the re-
sultant general opinion that the profess
ion is the slave at the beck and call of
the debt lodging community.
"There is no legal obligation on the
part of physician to obey a call If he
does obey one call gratuitously he is le-
gally bound to attend the case 80 long as
his care is needed. or until he be dis
missed or give due notice.
1.-TWO cases not entirely creditable to
the medical men concerned settled the
principle that contracts for medical SER
vices are ordinary contracts and voidable

tract Two surgeons Zone in Hagerstown,
Md. and the other in Chicago, Ill, J were
called to treat wounds received in street
fights Both asked if the patient was
prepared to pay. Upon an affirmative re-
ply both dressed and sutured the wounds.
Payment was then refused and both
doctors cut the sutures. They were ar
rested for assault but both were acquitted
on the ground that they were within their
strict legal right in SO doing.
"Medical men should be protected by
a proper and efficient law for the collec-
ton of their fees.
"The patient is bound to follow obedi-
emily all proper directions of his physi-
clan or surgeon and any disobedience of
such directions which contributes to pre-
vent recovery will bar him from his right
of action for malpractice"

Gowns in Wool Checks.

Some of the prctticst costumes of
wool sent Over by Dorcct are in checks,
which take the place of the check silks.
The skirt is severely plain, fiaring de-
cidedly ut the bottom, where it is fin
ished by a band of jet galoon. The
huge sleeves are of the checked wool,
finished by Il narrow band Of sable at
the waist. The bodice as far as the
bust line is of .plaiI wool edged with
fur at the top, and tapping diagonally
across the front, caught down by three
large ca%rbOchOns or small h~cmiSpheres
of jet %spanglcs. The upper part Of the
bodice is of liberty satin, which is now
made at Lyons. A touch of this bril-
liant satin, which colne in all the dull
artistic colors as we'll as in rich cos.
tunes. 1t is an appropriate trimming
for children's and young ladies' dresses
quite superseding MORE for that pur-
pose, though the matrOn will be likely
to select a richer fabric like velvet or
MORE. The carbocllOns Of jet on this
dress are especially noteworthy. They
average an inche and Il half in dame
ter. and are used not only rs ornaments
taking the place of buttons on the front
Of the dress, but also on hats. These
cabOchons may be formed either Of jet
Or of the new Strauss diamonds,
which are far more brilliant and far
more expensive than rh~inestOnes.

New Method for Saving Stone.

Much attention is being directed to a
material which has just been brought
into prominence in England, under the
name of "krushite," for the cutting Of
stone. Krushite is made in different de-
grees of ~fineness, and is used by quarry
wner and builders in saving and pol
fishing granite, stone, marble and other
hard materials, in lieu of sand. Its
inventor claims that it will saw a block
of granite at the rate of four inches In
depth per hour, and lard g%ritstone at
8 Inches in depth per hour. One ton
of the material is claimed to be equal
to 800 tons of the sharpest sand. The
sizes already on the market vary be-
tween the finest emery powder and
rape seed. 1t is without point or edges,
free from rust, and will not stain; it
is chilled to intense hardness without
being brittle, and in action it rolls be-
tween the block and saw blade or rub
Der; hence it retains its spherical shape
and cutting power. 1t is used in sand
blast apparatus instead of sand, and Is.
substituted for diamonds in boring and
drilling. Unlike sand or emery, it does
not become imbedded in the blade or
rubber, but rolls backward and for
ward creating a crushing action on the
blocks sawn. The wear and tear OF
the blade is said to be much lower
than when sand is used. For some
time the composition of krushite was
kept a secret. 1t is now declared to be
chilled metallic shot. The idea Of using
chilled shot for saving hard stone is
not new, and the method was tried in
America several years ago. So that, al
though krushite is heralded as a new
material, it is actually, while possibly
IN improvement, but a modification Of
ala old adaptation. Krushrite is likely
to take the place of emery and the dia-
mond In quartz saving. : Emery Is
largely used in the rubbing Of granite
and marble preparatory to the polish
ing process, and in saving stones of
the hardest kind, and diamond disks
may he found in the workshops Of ev-
cry lapidary.

Coming Fashions.

English corduroy and Bedford cords
are still very popular fabrics.
Many ermine-trimmed capes of velvet
or fine Venetian cloth lined with satin
brocade are exhibited by importers.
Jet garnitures are used in p~rofusion
both in dress and millinery. They are
conspicuous this season on all sorts Of
wraps and gowns.
Some Of the cadet and swallow-blue
costumes for young girls are made up
in Russian style with girdle and cape
collars edged with mink or beaver fur.
Braiding in intricate designs is used
upon natty coats for youthful wearers,
made Of Russian green, marine blue,
auburn brown and pale tan cloths sew
orally.
Besides being used for entire gowns
or parts of the costume, the new per-
forated cloths are employed for trim
ming the bodice and bordering the
skirt hem or overskirt.
Beef-eater crowns are again fashiona-
BILE with either fiat or rolled brims, and,
like the long-popular English walking
hats, are trimmed with a simplicity
which should characterize all hats in
tended for utility purposes.
Black velvet will be much worn this
winter for capes and coats. Black vel
vet is capable of most artistic treatment
and effects, and now that silk velvet is
o~vershadowed by tile production of fine
cotton velvets that have The appear
ance Of Lyons qualities, there will prob.
ably be an eruption Of black velvet
toilets.

The Black Dinner Gown,

The black dinner gown, whether it
be plain velvet or some of the richly
figured materials, is always in good
taste. and the. woman wearing a we'll
made black gown of suitable material
is properly dressed for the most Ella
bOrate function. Elderly ladies have
long ago concluded that nothing is so
becoming or so suitable as black velvet,
made to look even more elegant by the
use of fine lace, and, SO, very many Of
them adhere strictly to gowns Of it,
and very often to n style Of making
the princess. Dame fashion has Or
dered that black satin is suitable to all
ages and conditions for a dinner dress,
and so combined with lace or made
harmonious with color it is very gener-
ally e Jackets richly embroidered
with gold are liked for wear over a
black satin gown, and one will tend to
make it look very rich. A woman
who goes out a great deal, and always
looks we'll, has had five different bod
ices, made to wear with her black satin
skirt, and she expects to be considered
a w~ell-dEessed woman at every dinner
party which she attends during the sea-
son..

They had n boy to change horses and

would come around on the dead run.
There would be a shot, or probably q

The butterfly coiffure is charming for

a bow at the middle Of the back of

out in wing fashion. A high comb

the hair is brushed back in a full POM

Household Hints.

Over 700 patents were issued for the
application of, electricity to household
uses in 1882. =
Pears should be stewed in an earthen
dish, and basted frequently with a
syrup made from a cupful of boiling
water and half a cup of sugar.
1t rests the feet to change the shoes
frequently; even from an old shoe to
a new one is a rest, as the muscles of
the feet tire Of position, no matter
how easy the leather or the last may
be.
TO clean a sewing machine, cover all
the bearings with kerosene oil, work
the machine quickly for a few minutes,
then thoroughly rub all the oil of with
rags, and apply machine oil to the
parts which need oiling.
Yellow being the color of sunlight,
is a good color for a room with a north
erly exposure, where the sun seldom
penetrates. 1t has the virtue of never
firing the eyes, as red Or blue is apt to
do, and carries the effect of warmth.
To soften and prevent leather from
cracking, rub castor oil into it, and let
1t remain on for about twelve hours;
this applied about once a month will
greatly prolong the wear of boots. They
will polish perfectly with ordinary
backing after using it.
