In many cases shoppers who are addressed by other shoppers wisn query, twill you please show me some .ef the tats?' become indignant and sharply reply that they are not sales women, but a prominent, wealthy woman of West Walnut street proved an exception to this rule in one Of the most popular stores the other day.

JUMPING ON TRIPLER.

 Charles E. Trip1er Of liquid air fame, 1 has made some startling statements
 and predictions, which, If true, ma. k
 his discoveries as among the mcss tnl-
 portant in the history of the word.
 T7hs leading magazines have 90 her aided it and those who have seen the demonstrations have found it easy to treat with respect even the mosj ex- travagant claims fer the new power in Idynamics MT. TrjpIar laid great stress upon the economy and the pow CT of liquid air. Not only these claims
 but practically all his predictions arc now disputed by professional scien-
 tists who have risen up as if by con
 certed arrangement to make it un-

 MT. TripIer has shown lately that he is much nestled at the scholastic at taclZs, arid he intinates that he. knows whereof he speaks, while his detrac5- ors have secured their knowledge from musty tones. Is he playing Keeley trick on us? Or do the scian- tifie ibockwarns know? The 'fGcien- hsts'' once declared absurd the thaery of a round world and proved their case-by the books.

A NEW WAR BALLOON.
German Army to Try Count Zeppeln's
 Invention-At Work for Years.

Perhaps the problem of the military lairship may have been solved by the invention of Count Zeppelin. At any rate, the German army officials think well enough of it to Ee planning to give il a trial on July 1.
 Of course, the problem is to get ma cbinery at once strong enough to drive 9 balloon and light enough to be car riad by it.
 Count Zeppelin's 1nventicn com priSes an aluminium cylinder filled with coal gas and hydrogen, small engine worked by the gas thus gener- ated and big alumtnu fan prcpellers driven by the engine.
 It is not claimed that balloon equipped with the Zeppelin engine can make head way against a strong wind It should be sent uD only in gentle Iand breezes. It is to be tried over Lake Constance, the largest landlocked bceIy of water immediately available
 Count Zeppelin has been at work for scne years upon his invention. About two years ago he was conducting ex- reriments with q small balloon near Berlin when the generating cylinder burst No one was injured on that co casicn, IS the balloon was worked from the ground

REVIVE \ LOST ART.

Two American women have succeed ed in reviving . beautiful lost art, which for generations no European workman or artist has been able to bring to life. This is the art of mak- ing gilded leather wall hangings.
 The revival of this old art is due en- tirely to the perseverance, of two sis ters, the Misses Mary and Clara Ware, who are graduates of the courses in decoration Of the school connected with the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. While continuing their studies in Ncnia2 they were much impressed by the beauty of the gilded leather in some df the old palaces, and gradually they were led to investigate the meth ods that had produced if. Taey found that in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries Eilded leather was ore of the chief industries of Spain. where it had been introduced at least three hundred years before by the Moors In the present century practically no leather of this kind has been produced, and it has remained for these two young American women to show it's possi- bilitie3 in modern schemes Cf dec3ra- tion

 The federal crop report, just sSsued, showing a reduction of about per cent in the average condition Of w-n- ter wheat as compared with that of a month ago, suggests cons: :dera bly smaller yield for the year. Tha crop last season was 675 000.000 bushels; and decrease Of not more than 125,- O00,000 bushels would be an important factor in shaping future prices The carr tsd-over supply will probably ap- proximate 100 100000 bushels; so that with the indicated product the coun- try would have a supply Of $50, ,00G,0 bushels for food, seed, export and re- serve. This may be considered a mod- crate prospect for nation which rs- quires upward of 40,O00,090 bushels for food and 200 000,0 900 bushels for ex- port; but the reports from Europe are of similar tenor, no country having reason to anticipate more than a fair average yield, while in Russia the drought is too prevalent to allow a hopeful yield of wheat or rye In Rouman:a, Servia and Bulgaria a short wheat crop is regarded as 1nav- it3ble Whatever the American farmer may lose in yield therefore, he is likely to regain in stiffened prices and g very ready market

SETTLE THE STRIKE.
Tailors Return to Work AfteI
Being Out One
Day.
BILL OF PRICES Is COMPROMISED.

Tradesmen Demand Raise of 25 Per Cent,
the Committse Accepts 10 Per Cent,
Which Is Ratified by the Union at Its
Meeting Last Night.
Tailors employed in the establish
ments of f. F. Dorm, j. B. Zimmer Il
Co. and Gus Englin returned to work
this morning. The settlement of the
strike inaugurated yesterday, while in
the nature of a compromise, is claimed
by the workmen as a victory for The
union
The tradesmen demanded in their
bill of prices a raise in wages of % per
cent and the recognition of their
union. At a conference between the
proprietors and a committee repre-
senting the local tailors' organization
last night the whole situation was
thoroughly discussed. 1t was ex-
planned to the tailors that competition
was becoming so strong that it was
impossible to accede to a % per cent
increase in wages.
The men represented that necessar-
les of life were also enhancing in cost,
and they must make better pay in
order to live as they had previously.
However, they were willing to make
concessions rather than be parties to
Il protracted strike.
Proposition Mutually satisfactory.
A proposition to reduce the amount
of the raise to 10 per cent proved mu-
tually agreeable. The ''bill" was
signed by the employers, and the
committee reported it's action to the
union, by which it was ratified,
whereupon it was decided to resume
work today.
