The case Of Senator Clark of Montana
vino is alleged to have obtained his cleo
tion through bribery, is given pretty
serious aspect by the decision OF the Su-
IRENE court Of Montana 6isb.rring John
L. Welcome Of Butts for paying a mem eF
OF the legislature a large sum TO vote Tor
Cltrk for Senator. Tho man he tried TO
bribs was State Senator W. a. CLARK /,
and CLARK was the principal witness
against him. The only other witness
was CHE Whiteside, to whom CLARK turned
over tie money with view to exposing
tie trensaotion. Assuming that the
court made an impartial investigation
ami was not influenced by political CON-
slaerations It's finding puts u United States
Sc lator Clark in q bad predicament
er .ainly his case will now have TO lie In
vsstiga.ed by the Senate. 10 admit d
man to Congress guilty of buying his
election il far more dangerous than to
admit one guilty of polygamy. Nothing
pollutes the fountain Of justice like cor
ruption by the use of money. OF course
we do not mean to be understood az ex-
pressing this opinion that Senator Clark
is guilty. We only cay that prima faeie
ease has been made out against him Of
sufficient strength to MAKE an inveniga-
lion absolutely Decesasry.

LACES FOR MY LADY'S GOWN.

the rose figure in it is the great favor

Falenciennes.
Na'enciennes lace may be had from
25 cents up. In the more expensive and
rarely seen kinds an eighth-inch width
might cost 1925 yard and it would not
be an exorbitant price
Chantilly lace is so gossamer-like
that it is a great favorite for all-over
lace dresses. 1t is made by machinery,
the only Chantilly lace gown made by
hand being sold for $1,000.
OF pillow laces, the best known are
Nalenciennes, duchess, Mechlin, NAL

honiton and Chantilly. If needlework

HOniton lace is the handsomest lace
made in England and received its vogue
from Queen Victoria, who ordered her

for her was the ioveliest the workers

INNOCENCE ESTABLISHED.
Greek Lad Arrested rs Vagrant, but
Liberated by Court.

Special Policeman Peach arrested a neat
ly dressed boy named George Piero last
night and locked him up at the third pre-
cinst station on a charge of begging. The
little boy Is only thirteen years old. and is
Greek. He came 10 this country with his
father and brother, and has been engaged
in the sale of oriental goods. He was ar
rested after he had been seen by the Off
Ger to call at a number of houses on K
street. This morning he was put in the
prison vehicle with old offenders and driven
to the Police Court.
charge of vagrancy was read against
the youthful prisoner. and, apparently not
understanding just what that meant the
boy entered plea of guilty. Judge Kim
ball heard the statement of the officer. and
then listened to the explanation made by
the boy. The latter told the court that he
learned to speak English at a school in
Athens conducted by missionaries. He de-
MED that he was begging last night, and
said he was at the houses of rich people
making engagements with them to call to-
day and display goods. In addition to his
statement he produced a letter of introduce
ton from q prominent clergyman. Judge
Kimball directed the clerk to change the
plea in the case, and exonerated the boy.

IN THE FIELD OF LABOR.
Matters of Interest to Affiliated
Trades Organizations.

Trades ORGANIZATIONS
President Gompers of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor has been advised that the
green glass bottle workers of Streator, Ill,
who struck in order to secure better con-
ditions, have had their demands conceded.
Under the auspices of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor a union of textile workers
has been organized at Danville, Va
The cooperation of the American Fedora
ton of Labor has been asked by the Plate
Glass Workers of Alexandria, Ind, to pre-
vent the discharge of some of their men,
which, they claim, under the circumstances
would be an injustice.
Word has also been received in this city
that the International Stonemasons' Union
has decided not to affiliate with either the
Building Trades Council or the American
Federation Of Labor. This action was
taken after long debate at the recent con-
vention Of the order at Kansas City, Mo,
resolutions being adopted that while the
American Federation of Labor and the
National Building Trades Council of Amer
lea have our best wishes for their success
we do not feel that the time is yet ripe for
US to cast our fortunes with those of these
two labor bodies. We have very strong
union and our national Representatives can
settle all of our disputes much better than
can the officers of the American Fedora
ton or of the National Building Trades
Council. The trades which belong to the
Building Trades Council do not stand by
the actions Of their own body Right here
in Kansas City, when Kansas City had her
last big strike, the building trades took up
the fight and made dismal failure
There is not so much cause against the
American Federation of Labor but to afIili-
ate with one would be to make the other
sore. We are strong enough as a national
body, and do not at the present time
need any help We can settle our own
trOlrhleS We are perfectly willing that any
local union should affiliate with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor or with the Ma
tional Building Trades Council, but as
national body We do not intend to do so.''
