Turned Out in Large Quantities by Vene-
tian Manufacturers.
Articles of dress are now being ex-
tensively made of glass. A Venetian
manufacturer is turning out bonnets by
the thousand, the glass cloth of which
they are composed having the same
simmer and brilliancy of color as silk,
and, what is a great advantage, being
impervious to water. In Russia there
has for a long time existed tissue man
ufactured from the fiber of a peculiar
fIamentous stone from the Siberian
mines, which by some secret process is
shredded and spun into fabric which,
although soft to the touch and pliable
in the extreme, is of so durable a nature
that it never wears out. This is prob
ably what has given an enterprising
firm the idea of producing spun-glass
dress lengths.
The Muscovite stuff is thrown into the
fire when dirty, like asbestos, by which
it is made absolutely clean again; but
the spun-glass is simply brushed with
a hard brush and soap and water. and
is none the worse for being either
stained or soiled. The material is to
be had in white, green, lilac, pink and
yellow, and bids fair to become very
fashionable for evening dresses. An
Austrian is the inventor of this novel
fabric, which is rather costly. Table
cloths, napkins and window curtains are
also made of it. 1t has also been discov-
cred that glass is capable of being
turned into fine cloth which can be
worn next to the skin without the
slightest acknowledgements Jour

ing PayerS.
There was a small and futile strike
yesterday noon among the PAYERS
in the employ of Hennessy & Cox, on
Sixth street, corner of Robert. Some
twenty white men, mostly Irish, had
been working at the corner during
the morning. They gathered at noon
in the alley alongside the Metropoli-
tan opera house to eat their dinners.
AT 1 o'clock they refused to return
to work unless they received % cents
more than their regular wages of
$1.25 per day. The demand was re-
fused, and gang of negroes en-
pIoyed by the same firm at grade
work further up the street was
called down to take the places of the
strikers. About this time several of
the Wilbur chorus girls passed by on
their way to rehearsal. In the eyes
of these bewitching ones, at whose
feet the extra quarter was no doubt
intended to be a sacrifice in the way
of gallery tickets, the ardent Miles.
ians plucked up courage. Crouching
behind tool boxes and piles of stone,
quite in the attitude of comic opera
bandits, they sent forward one of
their number as a SkirmiSher. APP

threatening Italian remark about

Scipio rose up and Immediately
Robert went down. His fall was not
in accordance with operate canons,
for he sang no dying defiance. He
laid down silently and at once.
Before Scipio could gain control Of
his large, brown right hand, four as
sistant bandits also went over back
wards in painful, undramatic silence.
There was then a decided 'alarum
without" The whole chorus of the six
teen remaining bandits broke forth in
violent song, keeping time with bricks,
rocks, and paving blocks. Each sepa-
rate note was struck with a new baton,
and several of Sciopio's Roman
bodyguard were confused with the
notes. But no shins or their
vital parts were injured. Sci
pio waited for his cue, then, rush
ing forth in turn, he sang such a STIR
ring recititavo before the entrance to
the alley that the curtain fell to the
splendid spectacle of the bandit band
in full retreat. officer Carroll had ar
rived in time for the final tableau, but
he failed to get chance to beat

Robert LIE Diable will go to work again
in their old places this morning and at
the old rate. They agreed last night
that chorus girls are no prettier than
other pretty girls.

ing child of the stricken mother.
Without being fully informed of the
extent of her affliction, young Mrs.
German told that she had married
her husband in st. Paul two years
ago. They Immediately left the city,
and have since resided in New York,
Chicago, Boston and at various other
points.
The husband had been a travelling
man previous to his marriage, being
employed, at one time, for Chaplin &
Gore, the great liquor firm of Chicago.
Since his marriage, he had done no
regular work, but had received some
assistance from his brother, George
German, who is a travelling agent for
some agricultural implement house Of
Boston. She believed it was the Wal
worth Manufacturing company. He
had another brother, Harvey German,
who had once been a well known
bicycle rider of Brockton, Mass. She
described her husband lovingly, amidst
her sobs, as being always most devoted
to herself and the children. He was a
tall, handsome man with a dark brown
moustache and dark blue eyes. He had
not been a drinking man. He had
never been involved in any criminal
trouble. Four months ago she re-
turned here to be with her mother.
A month later her little boy was born.
The father had been financially un-
fortunate, and could not come to her
side. He had written frequently from
Chicago, and was expected here soon.
Last Sunday the baby was taken seri-
ously i'll. She at once telegraphed her
husband, care of the Great Northern
hotel, but received no reply. At 8
o'clock the same day the child was
dead Monday morning she received
a telegram, announcing that her mes

yesterday, and the news of his des-
perate death first broke the suspense.

that Charles was known to gamble, but
that his unsuspecting wife had been
kept in ignorance of the truth Mrs.
German would scarcely have the
money to send for her husbands re-
mains.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The body of
the man who was shot and killed
by Policeman Rosenthal in front of
the Auditorium last night has been
identified as that of Charles Cor
man, who lived at the Hotel Somer-
set, Twelfth street and Wabash
avenue. From the laundry mark on
his shirt he was supposed to be G.
E. Cole, but the linen was borrowed
his real identity was established
by the man who had befriended him.
Monday afternoon German received
a telegram from his wife in St
Paul, saying that his baby daughter
had died the night before, and urg-
ing him to come to her. He made
every effort to secure money to take
him to where his dead baby was,
and, after repeated failures, in a
moment of desperation he attempted
to rob Saloonkeeper McGloin that he
might have funds with which to go
to his wife. G.. e. Cole, the man
who loaned German the linen, and

German met Cole as the latter was
leaving the club house, and showed
him a telegram from his wife, Gen
evieve German, telling him of the
death of his child He tried to sell
a. large revolver to Cole, but the lat
ter did not have the amount neces-

to pawn the weapon, but could get
no more than Sc on it. German
then tried to trade it at the railroad
offices for ticket to st. Paul, and,
this effort being unsuccessful, the
two men went back to the hotel.
German was very uneasy, and about
Z o'clock said he must renew his eff
forts to get the money He started
down town, and was not seen again
by Cole until his body was identi-
fed. In Germans trunk We're found
letters of recommendation from va
rious bar rooms where he had been
employed, one of them being from
the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago.
All the testimonials spoke Of him as
a man of integrity. Earlier in the
day the body was identified as that
of George E. Cole, of Denver, but
the papers establish his identity as
German beyond a doubt.
