HOME FOR AGED MEMBERS.
Scheme Is Occupying tho Attention Of
knights OF Pythias

Knights of Pythias OF this city and
vicinity are Interested In a scheme for
the creation of a home for its old and
INDECENT members. The plan is being
discussed quietly. but with energy. In
August the grand lodge meets iIf
tive action will be taken i'm another
Pythian project. that of building a $780,
900 temple in Philadelphia. Aside from
the lodges of Philadelphia and vicinity
the temple project Is not generally ap-
proved. and leading members of the or
der i'm this section of the state are anXi-
Gus to create sentiment in favor of
the home idea before action is taken
on the temple plan at the meeting of
the grand lodge.
Agents representing several sections
Of the six counties comprising the
northeastern distric. of the state have
been in Scranton since Saturday. Tney
have succeeded in winning over to the
home idea several influential members
of tn order who had previously been
interested in forwarding the temple
movement. Local knights. however.
are beginning to realize that home
would be of great benefit in providing
for helpless members of the order in
this part of the state. while the temple
would directly benefit only the lodges
of Philadelphia and vicinity.
The work of the local men has pro-
ceeded 50 favorably that a convention
will be called during the next few
months to forward their plans. This is
thought to be necessary in order that
the temple element may be successfully
opposed before or during the grand
lodge session. The siX-county conven-
ton will probably be held in this city.
Aside from the immediate benefit to
lodges in this section of the state, the
home project, it is thought, will interest
others, especially in those cities where
the home might be located. Scranton.
Northumberland, Wilkes-Barre and
Williamsport have been prominently
mentioned as desirable locations for the
home, and if the movement assumes
proportions indicative of success, 1t is
probable that steps in each of these
cities will be taken by citizens generally
to secure the institution.

RUFFS FOR HER NECK.
Very Full and Framing Her Fair Young
Facc-It Is Some ii ines Made OF Flowers
and Is Like u Cockatoo's Rufflc.

Trianon ruffs and tiny toques of en-
broidered velvet are seen at all the
swell afternoon entertainments where
fine clothes obtain. The gown may be
as plain as you please. but the ruff, or
ruche. must be of the most elaborate
arrangement. An extremely smart one
is as full as can be, sets high about the
ears and far out over the shoulders. 1t
is made of a soft. golden yellow tinted
mousSeline de sole, in q succession OF
double box plaits. edged all about with
tiny black thread lace.
With it Is worn tiny tOque of yell
low and pink mirror velvet. all
crushed flat to the head in an artistic
mass. the velvet caught high at one
side in tall loops. with lot of crushed
pink roses and dull purple violets. A
most effective head and shoulder deco
ration for such wear is q combination
of black and palest pink
The ruff takes the form of fichu, and
is made of the softest of black gauze.
Among the frills on the shoulders Is
delicious mass of tiny pink SILK bios
SONS hanging on long, green stems. A
mass of the pink blossoms decorate
the breast. A bit of a hat in the shape
of a flat turban of gold braid has a
crown of crushed pink blossoms like
those on tine fichu. Two sharp wings
of black stand upright at the left side.
A delightfully."- dainty muff to go with
this lovely get up is made of lot of
black frills of gauZe, and lot or
crushed pink blossoms, with a. big bow
and two fluttering ends of black satin
ribbon. Narrow edgings of butter-col-
Ored lace trim many of the black
ruches. For evening wear ruches of
pale tints are decorated in this way and
make delightful shoulder coverings
Adjustable collars and wrist decOra
tions are made of rows Of ribbon set on
a broad band in loops, interspersed with
fots of butter colored lace. A trim
ming of this sort can be set on the
extreme edge of the sleeve, thus simu-
lating the new mode of decorating over
the hand.
The beautiful rich Dresden ribbons
are wonderfully becoming when ar
ranged in ruffs after the style of Eliza
bethan times to set high up at the
back and fall in soft loops at the front.
often the ribbon has a narrow edging
of delicate point de Venice lace.

MURMURS OF FASHION.

Rose pink crepon with ecru lace. and a
touch i'm the borders of very dark red.
will suit most compilations.
Lapels square and lace bordered. epau-
let's square and loaded with sequinage.
fichus long and narrow-these furnish va
riety.
There is tendency this season in favor
Of pointed-toe shoes. with patent leather
vamps and cloth uppers to match the
gown.
A beautiful effect is produced by square
epaulets of fine ecrl lace over a bodice Of
very dark green velvet which opens in
front over an ecru silk vest with a yoke
outlined with lace.
Chine, taffeta or faille silks of dark
grounds. covered with lighter pompadour
effects are the thing for street. while the
same skirt may be utilized with a more
delicate shaded bodice for evening.
Collarettes are and will remain fashion
able. Some of them are perfect dreams of
beauty. The pointed and square are very
much I'm demand. but collars with epaulets
will no doubt be the prevailing style.
Very new are the Louis coats of black
and dark green velvet. made with wide re-
verse attached to broad appliqued white
satin collars. The fronts of many are fin
ished by jabot of white or cream lace.
Tea gowns are made with huge square
epaulets, lace laden. with vatican pleats
at front and back and with heavy cord
girdles loosely knotted in front. If the
figure is very slender the cord may pass
across the back. Four stout or medium
figures it should be attached at either side
under the lapel which. boreder with lace,
flows uninterrupted to the hem.

COMING ATTRACTIONS.

"Delmonico's at G." by Glen MacDon-
ough will be the attraction at the
Frothingham Friday and Saturday
evenings and Saturday afternoon This
a attraction has been recently secured by
J. NJ. Ward from c. b. Jefferson, Klaw
4 Erlanger, and the reception of the
play no doubt will be a cordial one.
'.Delmonicos at g. is Glen MacDon-
ough's best work; 1t is full of action. ev-
cry line of-it is bright, and in construc-
tion indicates the workmanship of a
skilled dramatist. This is strictly n
farce and is wholly intended for amuse-
ment, but appeals as do his other plays
to the best taste. j. NJ. Ward has Sc
cured an excellent company of actors
of the best rank who canont fail to
give delightful and artistic perform
ance. Many specialties will be intro
duced
We have convincing proofs that one
| of the very best sensational plays on
the road this season will be 'The New
Captains Mate" by the Dittmar Bros.
and interpreted by that brilliant and
magnetic little star. Miss Florence
Bindley, and her excellent company.
1t is quite safe to say nothing more
elaborate in the way of scenic and me-
chanical effects will be placed upon any
stage this season and truly no more
pleasing performance witnessed. Man
anger Roberts assures us that the thea-
ter can clean their stage of every piece
of their theater scenery, stage settings,
etc, as they carry everything with
which to give their entire performance.

James B. Mackie, the clever young
comedian who has scored such great
success as BILLY Grimes" In Grimes

farce comedy at the Academy on Mon

favorably remembered for his clever
work as "Grimesey. Me Boy" i'm "A
Bunch of Keys, which part he played
successfully for five seasons, but his
present work as BILLY Grimes in
..Grimes' Cellar Door," is by far the
best he has ever done. and firmly es-
tablished him an original comedian of
many accomplishments.

THAT NINE "STRlKE."
The Mt. Pleasant Mine Trouble Has Been
Exaggerated.

The report that sixty miners In the
Mt. Pleasant mine. owned by w. T..
Smith, had struck for higher wages. is
not correct. A dozen or fifteen miners
employed in the new shaft to the upper
vein stopped work Monday morning.
The men, it is understood, have some
grievance about wages which has not
been fully considered by Mr.. Smith,
who was in New York until Tuesday.
The new vein is not in absolutely work
able condition and the men at work in
it were being employed at an actual loss
to the owner. Under these circum-
stances it is not likely that work will
be at once resumed.

FEMALE CRIMINALS.
From the Chicago News

From the Chicago News.
Lombroso, an italian expert on
crime, finds that the typical female
criminal has lots of coarse hair, long
face. q receding forehead, over-jutting
brows. prominent cheek-bones, an ex-
aggerated frontal angle as seen in
monkeys and savage faces and espe-
cially square, massive jaws and firm
mouth. She Is virile. masculine in
voice and figure, lank and meager,
without rounded form and able there
fore to wear male attire without de-
lection. The eyes of the female Of
fender are said to be sunken, deepset;
wrinkles soon show and in elderly wo-
men are strongly developed in certain
parts of the face; the cranial capacity
Is inferior to that Of the normal wo-
man; there is II greater tendency to
grow gray and to badness.
The vices most prominent in the fem
mime criminal are found to be great
cruelty, passionate temper rising
quickly into eXtraVagant fury, an eX-
cessive craving for revenge, low cum
ming strongly developed, greed, shame
less rapacity, an inordinate love of
lucre. mendacity to the utter contempt
of all truthfulness. Such women are
erotic but not capable of pure, devot-
ed love; they are weak in.that matern-
al feeling which is usually the strong
est sentiment in the feminine nature;
they are given to dissipation, audac-
ious. violent. imperious, dominating
weaker characters whether of their
own or of the opposite sex; their vices,
In a word. are of the male rather than
the female.
The Italian proverb, 1.-The woman is
seldom wicked but when she Is she sur
passes the man." finds ample proof in
the following instances of her cruelty:
Catherine Hayes, having caused her
husbands death. wished to cut off his
head with penknife and boil it; Mrs
Manning dug the grave for her victim
three weeks ahead, just in front of her
kitchen fire, where she roasted and ate
goose the very afternoon Of the crime
Kate Webster dismembered the corpse
of her mistress and boiled it piecemeal;
Hannah Dobbs strangled a lOdger and
dragged her body downstairs to bury
1t among ashes In a disused cellar.
Jealously prompts more women than
men to mad acts and poisoning is
much more popular method with her of
wreaking vengeance than among her
brother criminals. One woman, whose
whole life had been a series of remark
ably skillful poisoning cases, was so
devotedly attached to this deadly ia
miliar friend that she carried it al
ways about with her, and when ar
rested and some arsenic was found in
her pocket "she seemed to tremble with
pleasure and gazed upon the white
powder with eyes beaming with rap
ture.
Female culprits endure prison priva-
tions much easier and longer than
criminals of the other sex. England
has instances of women captives who
have reached the age Of 80, having lived
within the relentless walls for fifty and
sixty years.
