WORTH IS DEAD.
The Career Of the Famous Pari$ Dress
maker Ended.

"aN6F Ensleu.
Paris, March 11-worth, the famous
"man dressmaker," is dead.
Charles Frederick Worth was born
In Bourne, Lincolnshire, England, in
1925. At the age of 13 he was appren-
ticed 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 q friend secured a po-
sition in a Diapers (dry goods shop,
which position he left to enter the en-
ployment of Swan & Edgar, drapers,
where he became favorite.
He first conceived the idea of design
ing fashions through conversations
with the buyers of Swan & Edgar. and
frequently made suggestions which the
heads of departments We're not slow 70
see in a favorable light. The more he
talked with the buyers, the more he re-
solved to go to Paris, and soon began
the study Of French. When about p
years old he went to Paris and shortly
after his arrival in that city secured Il
position with Gagelin & Co., and in a
few years was placed at the head of a
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 expositiOns. Later he estab-
lished the firm of Worth & Bobern
and in 1870 founded the famous house
of Worth.
His fame as dressmaker abOunded
and among the many admirers of his
skill was the ex-Empress Eugenie, for
whom he made a great many elegant
dresses. 1t has been said that while
Paris rules the world in fashion, the
man who ruled Paris-M. Worth-was
a Lincolnshire, England, lad, so that
really it was an Englishman who was
the arbiter of the worlds fashion.

TO COMBINE LIBRARIES.

An Importnnt Move.

Trustees of the Tilden Estat Will Make
an Important Move.
New York, March lat meeting Of
the trustees of the Tilden estate Messrs.
Andrew H. Green, Alexander 81. Orr
and Lewis Cass Ledyard, the commit
tee appointed to confer with similar
committees from the Astor and Lennox
libraries in regard to the combination
Of the three into one great public IL
brary, reported in favor of the plan.
The trustees unanimously adopted the
report, believing that in this way the
splendid private collection Of the late
Samuel ]. Tilden and the funds he left
to establish a library would most speed
lily serve the purpose for which they
were bequeathed.
Andrew H. Green said last night that
as the Lennox library and the Tilden
trust were heartily in favor Of the COM
bination and the Astor library was in
the same mood, the plan would doubt
less be consummated.

Tramc of the >uex Canal.

Washington, March 9.-Not one mer-
camille ship flying the United States
flag entered the Suez canal last year,
although many cargoes destined for
America passed through in British
ships, says United States Consul Gen
eral Penfield at Cairo, Egypt, in re-
port to the state department upon the
Suez canal traffic.
During the year 1894 the number Of
vessels passing through the canal was
$3.50, being ten in excess of the pre-
ceding year, and the receipts amounted
to almost SIS 100000. The number Of
ships using the canal in 1874, twenty
years ago, was only 1924. These fig
ures compared with those Of the pres
ent day show how completely the canal
has revolutionized the traffic between
the far east and Europe.

During our entire acquaintance DR..
