In these days of enforced economy,
it should be a pleasure to- any woman
to learn how she can save the cost of
a new gown for herself and a suit for
the little one, or can make her hus-
bands faded clothing look like new.
Diamonds Dyes, which are prepared
especially for home use. will do all
this. They are so simple and easy TO
use that even a child can get bright
and beautiful colors by following the
directions on each package.
There is no need of soiling the hands
with Diamond Dyes; just lift and stir
the goods with two sticks while in the
dye bath and one will not get any
stains or spots.
In coloring dresses, coats, and all
large articles, to get full and salts
factory color, it is absolutely necessary
to have a special dye for cotton and
different dye for wooden goods. This
is done in Diamond Dyes, and before
buying dyes. one should know whether
the article to be colored is cotton or
wool, and get the proper dye. Do not
buy dyes that claim to color every
thing. for their use will result in fail

The fact that the hose carts of the

thoroughly cleaned, oiled and put in
the proper shape at least once a month
was forcibly illustrated Tuesday even
ing when they were called out. The
Liberty hose cart axles had not been
oiled for so long that it took five men
TO pull the cart out of the building and
then it was all one horse could do to
pull the cart up the grade on Center
street. The Alerts experienced as much
trouble, but in a different way. The
buckles on the harness were so rusty
that it was almost impossible to fast
ened them. This was the sole cause
of the delay of both companies II
reaching the fire. Some arrangements
should be made by Council whereby
the carts would always be in proper
condition to take out.

SAN FRANCISCO, February 9.-Alone

dreds of miles from any other land and

dore Gussman is waiting to be rescued.
A letter to Il friend here. Capt. Charles
Baettee, which he sent by a French man
of-war that CHANGED to cruise in his To-
calfty. describes the solitude in which he
has been isolated for months.
Gussman might have left his imprison-
ment BY the vessel which brought his

been deserting his post Of duty. He is
one OF three men sent down TO Cipperton
island last July by the Oceanic Phosphate
Company to keep possession Of the COM
nany.s property and Of tho island, His
companions deserted him at the time the
Mexican man-of-war Democratic hauled
down the American flag and hoisted the
Mexican standard Gussman refused 10
leave then, although an effort was made
10 SHANGHAI him by the Mexican captain,
In order to remain at his post of duty
Gussnan practically narooned himself,
swimming ashore from the warship with
evidence of his employers titles to the
island concealed in one of his shoes.

Wilkesbarre February 8. - When
court opened this morning for the trial
of Sheriff Martin and his deputies
Judge Woodward spoke to the jurors
about receiving letters bearing upon
any point in the trial. He said:
IF you receive any letters with re-
ference to the trial, whether anony-
nous or signed, it is your duty to hand
them over to the district attorney, and
you must not allow them to make an
impression upon your mind
The first witness called to-day was
John Yourshekowitz, one of the Har-
wood strikers. He said that on Sep
TENDER 9, the strikers held meeting
at Harwood and they understood if
they could get the Lattimer men to
Join them they would win the strike.
They decided not to carry anything
having the semblance of weapons and
to behave quietly and peaceably. At
West Hazleton, he said they met the
sheriff and his deputies, who pushed
them around with guns and hit several
of them One man, and this witness
at this juncture pointed out Deputy
Ario P. Plat, tore down the flag. At
Lattimer the sheriff stopped them, hit
two men in the front rank, and tried
to fire his revolver. 1t snapped twice
and then exploded Right away there
was a volley of shots from the depu-
ties, and many Of the strikers fell.
On cross examination witness said
that at West Hazleton the sheriff got
hold of his coat and pushed his re>
volver in his face saying:
Il am the sheriff of Luzerne county
and you cannot go to Lattimer' | DIG
nothing. | was frightened"
Only three witnesses were heard at
this afternoons session, and only one
gave evidence which is at all new.
Lewis Altsuiki told how, on arriv-
ing at West HaZleton with the strlk-
ers, two deputies seized him and tore
his shirt. He said a number Of men
were SO frightened by the deputies
threatening them with their guns that
they ran home and did not march to
Lattimer.
On cross-examination, he admitted
that the sheriff had told the strikers
to go home and that they disobeyed
and marched on to Lattimer.
Ellery BONN, an undertaken, OF
Hazleton, who buried thirteen of the
victims, described their wounds, say
ing all were shot in the back except
one who had bullet in his forehead.
John Adreaski told the same story
as many others about the meeting on
the night before the shooting, the
march to West Hazleton, what occur
red there and the march on to Latt1-
mer.
Court adjourned at this point.
The Commonwealth has about a
hundred more witnesses.
