Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Schramm.
wife Of Theobold Schramm, Of the
Fourth ward. passed away after pro-
tracted illness from pulmonary con-
sumption. She was about 40 years OF
age, and an estimable woman. A hus-
band and large family of children
are left to mourn her untimely demise.
Arrangements had not been completed
for the funeral last evening.
The firemen do not appear to be
satisfied with the extra compensation
allotted them by Council Tuesday
evening, and an effort may yet be
made to have the additional 500 added
to the 5000 prescribed. Chief Camp
bell has called meeting of all the
firemen for City Hall tomorrow night
at which time the matter will be
thoroughly discussed.
The High school base ball club has
been trying to get game out of the
Linslys of Wheeling, bat have so far
been unsuccessful. The game booked
for yesterday afternoon was called off
by the Wheeling team. which is the
second time the clubs have failed to
make connection. The High school
boys have now concluded to invade
the enemy's territory, and will go up
to Wheeling this afternoon to meet
their rivals.
Yesterday Deputy Revenue Collector
r. G. Meyers was called to st. Glars
vile by the death Of his father, Henry
c. Meyers, which occurred at his home
in that place Wednesday. Deceased
was one of the oldest citizens in point
OF residence at ST. Clairsyille, where
he has for many years carried on a

ness. A large circle Of friends and
acquaintance will be panied to hear of
his death.

At the meeting of Council the mat
ter of purchasing the property adjoin-
ing the city building for city pur-
poses came up and was again referred
to committee. 1t is understood
though, that arrangements will soon
be completed for acquiring the prop
erty, and then the project to build will
be revived. The levy of mills, the
same as last year, was passed by
Council Tuesday night. The fact that
he promoters Of the Belmont Light

advertise for bids for city lighting
would appear to be conclusive evil
dence that the franchise will be &C.
cepted by the company within the
limit provided for.

an exhibition of his skill on Union
street, and attracted good-sized
crowd by his clever feats. The man
gave his name as Harry Kramer, and
said he is on his way to his home at
Washington, D. C. He claimed to
have been travelling with a show in
Mexico, but was compelled to discon-
tinue his engagement on account of
rheumatism. He says he has made as
high as SAL in a day by free contribu-
tions.

A MANS UNLUCKY DAY,

Probably the most wonderful story of a
mans unlucky day that has ever been
told appears in the Lancet, which intro
duccS it as a curious instance of coinci-
dence. A patient, at the age of 10 years,
fractured his right INDEX finger. 1t hap
pened on Aug. 26. When Is years old he
fractured his left leg below the knee
through falling from horseback, also on
Aug. 26. When II years old he fractured
both bones of the left forearm by Stun
bling, his arm striking the edge of a
brick aug. 2G). In another year, on Aug.
26, when - years old, he had compound
fracture of the left leg above the ankle,
by his foot being caught under an iron
rod and his body falling forward. Next
year, again on the same date, Aug. 26, he
had compound fracture of both legs, the
right being 50 severely crushed hat it
had to be amputatGd at the lower third
of the thigh. This was caused by a horse
which was hitched to a train of coal, run
ming wild under ground, and which
caught him in narrow passage, crushing
both legs severely. After this he did not
WrOk on Aug. 26 for % years, and little
wonder, but in 1890 he forgot his fateful
day and went to work, with the result
that he sustained a compound fracture
of the left leg. After this he has studi-
ously avoided working on Aug. 26,
though never missing work at other
times.

here, young man,'-he marched me up to
the clerks desk and turned the register
about-"thatS my name right there. I'm
a state senator and no family to spend it
on. Now you tell me where l can lay my
hands on poor little San Cover this
night, and I'm your friend to the full ex-
tent of my power and pull"
Not being able to earn the senator's
gratitude in this particular way, 1 did
1 could by directing him to enquire
for Samuel Walters at the freight yards.
Then l gave him my card with a New
York address and asked him to give it to
Samuel-which, l know now he did.
That ends the story proper. But there
is a sequel.
Samuel called on me in New York a
year after I had met him in Chicago.
Tn working hard at the drawing
now" he said. i've got all the senator's
bank account at my back, so | can afford
to study art. That's my serious occupa-
ton. My amusement is to scare the
grand uncle. He doesn't know where |
am. l get letters mailed to him from all
parts of the world. One ought to have
left Sydney. Australia, day before yestcr-
day. When I'm tw%enty-one then sister,
and my drummer brother-in-law and the
senator and I begin legal proceedings to
make the gr%andunclc give an account Of
the property"
And after that, what do you expect
to do?' I asked.
well, there the senator and | differ. |
look forward to paying him back; he
says he's going to make me his principal
heir. He hasn't got a chick or child of
his own"
But in any case you stick to the
drawing?'
In any case / stick to the drawing.
Living to make, or no living to make, q
man wants to have an anchor. That's
my anchor. And, anyhow, I'd rather draw
well then be president. That's where the
senator thinks I'm foolish
And all this programme has been very
we'll fulfilled in the last -four of five
years, except for the alterations due to
death and love.
For when Samuels forces advanced
against "old Beelzebub,' the enemy sent
for a lawyer and-so his son afterWard
BSaid-intended to surrender the property
in equal shares, unimpaired, to Samuc
! Cover and his sister, but a fit of some
kind cut short his good intentions. The
senator said he believed the other Beel-
zebub got mad when he saw his twin
brother was going to do right and took
him off just in time.
Also Samuel fell in love so far modify
ing his intention of devoting himself tc
art that he let a young woman, who will.
shortly become Mrs. Samuel, share his
devotion.
I believe Samuel has at last tired OF
sending to the senator a check for cash
advanced" which the senator always
sends back TO him. Anyhow, Samuel can
not prevent an Illinois confederation
ex-senator now-from making his will as
he pleases.

it will dc as an all-year-round dress;
and it is more healthy, because heavy
weight cloth becomes distressing on the
first approach of warm weather. A heavy
petticoat and a warm inside jacket or a
collar of fur will give all the needed
warmth for the coolest winter days.
Black is always in good taste for these
useful Gowns and it is advisable to line
black with black, as it less likely to show
spots and when it begins TO wear arOun%
the bottom it is easy to put a new frill
of black where it might be impossible
to match light colors.
A word here for the Innings. BY all
means have the tailor gown lined with
silk. To the casual observer it seems
absurd to talk of silk Innings for a
woman who must ecOnOmize, but not
to the initiated. The woman with the
small income is on tea-talking terms
with women who spend a thousand a
year, and she must in some essentials
out on an appearance of richness. 1t
is not necessary that more than two of
her gowns be lined with silk.
For a cloth gown six yards, so inches
WIDE, will be sufficient, the cloth costing
$1.5O a yard, silk lining 81, making $40.
Any material, serge, Venetian cloth, tri-
cot, may be used. Have the skirt plain,
with rows of stitching or bias folds
around the bottom; have a short box
front coat with velvet collar, and YOU
nave a costume Indt never goes out OF
style. If you wish to be up to date, the
new cutaway coat is pretty and becom-
ing to tall, slender figures, and remark
ably fashionable just now. With these
F, may be worn a black or gray or green
cloth tOque trimmed with wings or loops
of ribbons costing, complete, not more
than $500.
A calling or reception dress of CASH
mere or fame cloth, made in the new
p~olonaise effects, is stylish and popular.
The one given here is of gray cashmere,
with a Waistcoat Of turquoise blue vel
vet, with wide revers of white satin COW
cred with lace. For the cashmere, ST;
silk lining, 81; making at home-a good
dressmaker will make it in three days
Sc; trimmings, SO, To those to whom
gray is not becoming, there are many
shades of tan and faWn. A pretty CON-
binatiOn with tan is watermelon pink,
one of the newest shades this season.
The waistcoat effect has many ad-
vantages. When next season comes the
old velvet and lace can be replaced with
something new in color or a chiffon or
fancy silk. and with some bands of black
silk or velvet around the bottom last
years gown is quite pretty enough to do
service for another season. With these
gowns may be WORE a hat of black or
violet velvet, with ostrich tips. In buy
ing velvet for a hat, it is advisable to
have a good quality. 1t will not fade so
easily nor show creases, and can be
steamed and made over next season. The
same may be said of feathers. A good

Samuel was strictly accurate in all these

of his veracity.
[ had offered him a little money, which
he refused, and some ~refrcshment, which
he also refused, and he had said good
