Stockings Made to Order.

Certain women in New York
have their stockings made to
order by a little Italian, who,
from artistic shoe-1naking, has
become a tailor of stockings.
He contends that it is badly fit
ted and carelessly made stock
ings that dishgure women's feet
and cause the many trials and
tribulations from which pedi>
cures reap fortunes.
He cuts his stockings to fit
the feet of his customers. The
slender foot with high instep,
the short, broad foot, the taper
ing foot and the odd foot that is
narrow at the heel and very
broad at the bail. which is al
most impossible to fit in all
ordinary stocking, all delight
the little Italian.
1t is not at all likely that he
will ever make a fortune, as his
prices are only such as the very
rich or very vain would pay.
But one can d a W
moral from his theory. A cheap
stocking is unquestionably a
poor investment. 1t is not the
poor material, but the bad shape
and a cheap stocking is nearly
always bad shape, that is dear
at any price.
Fancy stockings are very
pretty this season. Some of them
remind one of circus riders
they are so gay. Stripes and
plaids and checks. zigzag de-
signs of from two to five colors
are shown, and black and white
are a popular COM bination. EN-
b1oidered and spangled clocks
are shown, and medallions ol
real lace set in the insteps OF the
stockings to wear with low-cu'
slippers are extremely pretty

Advertisers are prone to be
impatient of results. That is to
say, the new and inexperienced
ones are. The older ones know
better. There is nothing more
true than it demands time for
accomplishment of any desired
object. The farmer sows his
wheat in the autumn and waits
until the following June Or July
for harvest. Makers of wagons
buy material which is not made
into a complete wagon for three
years. Professional men study

WOMAN KILLED IN hLABAMI

A terrific storm passed
through several Southern States
Monday doing considerable dam
age
At Salisbury, N. c., the Salis>
bury hosiery mill was struck by
lightning, and most of the build
ing and machinery, along with
$1,000 pairs OF socks, were burned.
The loss will, it is thought, be
covered by insurance The fire
throws eighty. five people out of
employment. During the same
storm Miss Susie Overman was
struck by lightning and badly,
though not fatally hurt. :.
At Opelika, Ala, the roof was
blown off the Mineral Well Ho~
tel, aud in the eastern part of
the city a two-room house was
demolished and Amy Huegley
instantly killed Many trees
were blown down and much
damage done.
The little town Of Riderville,
twenty-five miles north of Sell
ma, Ala. was visited by a cy~
clone. The saw mill of the E. E.
Jackson Lumber Company and
the company store was badly
wrecked, and a number of dwell
ing houses demolished. A large
frame dwelling was carried more
than a hundred yards and over>
turned and the parts Of several
houses were blown completely
away. Ex-Governor Jackson, Of
Maryland, who is president of
the lumber company, was visits
ing the mills and, with several
others was in the office during
the storm. The office was
wrecked, but all miraciously es>
capped injury. The cyclone was
about one eighth of a mile wide
and moved in a southeasterly di
rection.
A special from Lexington, Ga,
says: GA destructive wind and
rain storm passed over this
county to day. Hail, the size of
bird eggs, did considerable dams
age. At Crawford a mum Der of
barns, trees and fences were
blown down. Two stores were
unroofed and the steeples On
two churches were blown off"
AMER1CUs, Ca, March zS.-A
severe wind storm passed over
this section late this afternoon.
Ten miles east of III is place great
damage was caused in the tin>
Der. Fifteen houses are report

KILLED HIS WIFE IN A
DREAM.
A Remark able Accidental Shoot
ing During a Troubled
Sleep.

Special from Tacoma, Wash,
says DR.. Chas. Corey shot and
killed his wife this morning
while the two were lyiug asleep,
Coreyswas i'll, and his story of
the affair is that he was labor
ing under a nightmare, believ>
ing his wife was being pursued
by a stranger, who was intent
on killing her.
In his dream Corey says he
followed the two from Tacoma
to Washington. and just as he
fanCicd the man was about to
stab her, fired twice with his re-
volver. He aWoke with a start
to find himself sitting in bed,
with smoking revolver in his
hand. Corey had drawn his re-
volver from its place under his
pillow and killed his wife.
The relations between Corey
and his wife have been very
afectionate, and the authorities
believe his story. He is nearly
crazed with grief, and his friends
are watching him to prevent
suicide. Mrs. Corey was 3 lead
er in social club circles. She
was afraid of a revolver, and
frequently expressed fear that
she would some day be killed by
one. Corey was not arrested.

VACCINATION.
lDr. Kaufmanu on Diseases. !

In 1898, DR.. Jenner, after
series of observations and eX.
perimeuts of more than eighteen
years, came before the English
public with his discovery of
vaccination, which consisted OF
the introduction OF virus into
the system, obtained from the
COW Gin which animal the GI-
Sease arises spontaneously, the
object being to shield the per
son so treated from the infection
of the small pox. The practice
was first introduced in this Coun
try in 1896 by Benjamin Water
house of Boston, the first pro
feSsor of medicine in Harvard
College. The value of this dis
cover : is now generally admit
ted. Now, am a firm believer
in the practice of vaccination
where the virus is pure, but
where the virus is obtained from
so called healthy person and
inoculated INTO the system Of
others, only to find it impure, l
must say that such practice IS
unworthy any honest physician;
but look at the thousands OF
such cases we find where through
the ignorance of doctors, more
humors are caused by using inn
pure matter in vaccination than
from all other sources com bin
ed. Undoubtedly you have seen
cases, yourself, of vile humors
contracted in this manner. 1t.
has caused my heart to ache and
my cheek to burn with shame
to see the thousands of persons
suffering from humors in the
blood contracted by the per-
nicious practice of many doctors
who, in the time of a "small>pox
scare" use any matter Obtaina-
BILE, 40 matter whether it is pure
or impure. Their only idea
seems to be to obtain their fee,
and as many of them as possible
neither do they care whether
your system is poisoned or not.
Now, my good mothers, when
you get your little ones vacci-
mated. go to some honest physi~
clan, one whom you can trust
and be sure that the matter is
pure and rresh. Always be sure
that the matter used is obtained
from the Cow. Be sure and use
no other, then you will know
that your child's system is not
poisoned. On this subj.ct you
can not be too careful. In my
remarks, probably you think l
am too hard Oh my own profes
sion. But l am not, for l speak
only of that class who thiuh
more of their pockets than OF
their patients, and that there are
hundreds of them | am ashamed
to say, but still such is the fact.

Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of
the English Baptist Church at
Minersville, Pa, when suffering
with rheumatism, was advised
to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm.
He says: GA few applications cf
this liniment proved of great

Inflammation and relieved the
pain. Should any sufferer profit
by giving Pain Balm a trial it

EASTER IN PARIS.
The Festival as Observed in the
Gay French Capital.

New Years is the great Par
isian festival and gift-givine
time, but within the past few
years Easter has proved very
formidable rival to it. In Paris
the con irmation season begins
with the termination cf Lent,
and lasts until the end Of May,
as the ceremony is only performs
ed on Sunday, and III each
church or district in turn. Then
too, at Eastertide marriages ale
more frequent among all classes
than at any other season of the
year. For third reason Easter
is all eventful epoch i'll Paris
fact to the whole world-for it
is then that the new fashions
and styles that will find favor
during the Summer months III
all the world of fashion are first
introduced.
For the confirmation, or the
wedding, all the shops have ex~
positions of white costumes and
all their accessories. Spotless
displays Of dresses, wells, satch>
els, rosaries, prayer books, hose,
shoes, etc. Then, too, it IS pro-
per fol- the parents TO don new
attire for these auspicious occas>
sions, a black silk being the
coveted aud proper thing for
the working or middle class.
The aristocratic brides mother
adopts richer wear; silk being
the rule, and generally in colors,
so that a great variety Of mat
ron1y costumes are shown at
Easter.
Gitt~giving also III axes Easter
tide a joyous season there. On
the occasion of a wedding not
only the bride receives gifts.
but handsome presents are made
by the bridegroom and his fam
lily to the sisters and family of
the bride. This custom of East,
er giving is not restricted to
brides and bridesmaids. AL
though only few years old, this
pretty tad Of gilt-givipg has
grown to enormous proportions
The shops are crowded with so
called Easter novelties, each in
its different line Of business
specially designed as an offering,
the egg in its many variations
predominating. Much ingen-
uity is displayed in making
these, "beufs de Paques' Fast-
er eggs, bear out their names.
Articles Of ever description
are used for these Easter Offer
ings--- scent bottles, purses, card
cases, pieces of costly lace, fans,
dainty lace trimmed handker
chiefs, watches, rings, sacuets,
brooches, bracelets, flowers, etc, ,
invariably presented in a box or
case i'll the form of the proverbs
ial egg.
In many instances large sums
are spent On these gifts, and
when an article of latge dimen>
oions is chosen, such as a cloak,
mantle, book, dress or fancy
furniture, the egg difficulty Is
overcome by accompanying, it
with a small box in the shape Of
an egg filled with bon-bons.

The American army advanced
at 6 o'clock this morning, sweep
ing onward three miles before
ten o'clock, and driving the
rebels beyond Bocave. to the
east of Bulacan, and on the rails
road leading to Malolos.
Our troops met with but
slight resistance.
The Filipinos fred volleys
yesterday evening, for til. pur~
pose of drawing the American
fire and disclosing the locality

Two men of the Pennsylvania
regiment and one man belong

PICTURE OF DESOLATION.
The country between Marilao
and Manila presents a picture of
desolation. Smoke is curling
from hundreds Of ash heaps, and
the remains of trees and fences
torn by shrapneI are to be seen
everywhere. The ganeral ap-
pearance of the country is as if
it had been swept by cyclone.
The roads are strewn with fur
niture and clothing dropped in
flight by the Filipinos.
The only persons remaining
behind are few aged persons,
too inhrm to escape.
They camp beside the ruins of
the former homes and beg pass
ers by for any kind of assistance
The majority of them are living
Oh the generosity of our soldiers,
who give them PORTIONS of their
ratiOns.
Bodies of dead Filipinos are
stranded in the shadows of the
river or are retreating in the
Jungle where they crawled to
del or where left in the wake of
the hurriedly retreating army.
There is no time at present to
bury them.
The inhabitants who fed
from MArilao ana N"ycauayan
left in such a panic that on
tables our soldiers found spread
money and valulbles, and in the
rooms were trunks containing
other property of value.
This was the case in most Of
the houses deserted. They were
not molested by our soldiers,
but the Chinese who slip in bes
tween the armies, are looting
when they can and have taken
possession of several houses,
over which they raised Chinese
flags, some of which were torn
down.
7:35 p. NAT daylight Gen~
eral MacArthur's division ad
vanced from Marilao along the
railroad to Bigaa, five miles dis>
tant, with the Nebraska. South
Dakota and Pennsylvania Reg
iments on the right and the
Kansas and Montana Regiment.
and the Third Artillery on the
left. General Wheaton's brig
ade is in reserve.
The American forces met
with strong opposition in the
Jungle. First one N=braskan,
then one Pennsylvania and af-
terward two of the Montana
Regiments were killed. Thirty
Eve were wounded. including
one officer of the Kansas Regi-
ment.
The enemy also tore up Sec
tions of the railroad i'll many
places and attempted to burn
the bridge at Bigaa but the FIRE
was extinguished owing to the
timely arrival of the Aneri
cans. The rebels had not fn>
ished their trenches along the
line of to days march, showing
they were not prepared for our
advance.
1t is believed, however, that
there will be a hard fight before
Malolos is taken.
