neys. The defendants to the suit who are

She says she was compelled to to per-
form such manual labor as was required
In her duties at the laundry and that Mr.
Harrison and Mr. Swartzell, who were
experimenting and managing the laundry
employed her to work. Miss Moore claims
that at the time Of the accident the
mangle with which she was injured was
In a defective and unsafe condition; that
IL had neither hood or guard to afford pro-
lection to persons operating it and that
the defendants well knew of the unsafe
and dangerous condition of the mangle,
but carIessly and neghgently allowed ii TO
remain in an unsafe condition.
Miss Moore claims It on December l.
she was ordered by L. A Swartzel to
clean the rust off the mangle while the
machinery was in motion; that by COM
plying with his order, and by reason Of
the unsafe condition Of the mangle. her
right hand was caught and injured
severely and permanently. The bones in
the back Of her hand were crushed and
strained and the flesh was torn from her
wrist and hand and the third finger was
mashed into a pulp. Miss Moore claims
that she has no other vocation other than
that which would require the use of both
her hands and asks damages as follows:
For hospital and doctor bill 800; great
bodily pain and mental agony. $1,000; per
manenr injury to her right wrist and

WHERE'S THE CHlNAMAN2"
An Old Han Puzzled by Some Show
Pictures

Yesterday afternoon there was quite
crowd in front Of the Manhattan hotel
looking at the photographs Of the "Trip
to Chinatown" company. Among them
was an old man who was glancing at the
photos as if he was looking for a partic-
uIar one. He evidently did not find what
he was looking for, and it seemed to puz-
zle him a good deal. He couidn make
it out and perhaps thought some Of the
others could give him an explanation. Co
he turned to the fellow next to him and
said: THAT shows "A Trip to China
town, amt it; but where in the dickens
is the Chinaman?"

its whereabouts and Immediately secured
it and returned it to the Wichita club

advertising the fair it was decided TO
take some sort of means to have an en-
graved design Of uniform size and color
printed on business stationery of local
Arms showing in a small space and an
attractive way the name and date of the
fair. This will be done at once and peo-
pie all over the country, everybody who

with the date the place and the fair.
10 steps will be taken just now to pro-
cure subscriptions, but a committee will
begin within a week or two. The plan is
to have bigger fair by several things
than last year, and last nights enthusi-

will be done without a hitch. Secretary
Lockwood says. with an 1S-karat wink
Of his other eye, Just you wait; this
fair will be a paralyzer."

DRAWING ROOM CONVERSATIONAL.

Another drawing room converse
tional' was given by the Rhode Island
Metaphysical Association. in Tilling
hasts parlors, yesterday afternoon,
and Mrs Clara Lee Alden. Of Somer-
VILE. Mass, spoke on The God We
Worship" M the course OF her address,
Mrs. Alden said that there is but one
door between us and Christ and that
door is intuition. We must let Christ
into our thoughts and then we Will
realize our situation. What makes us
what we are today Is not what we are
thinking in our heads, but our sub
consciousness. There is where we have
our habit OF thinking. In order to
change our sub-consciousness we have
to change our habits OF thought, the
change being slow and gradual. We
have 10 grow out of old habits OF
thought by growing into new habits Of
thought.
She continued by saying that there
is no condition that cannot be over
come IL we let the. power of God mean
more TO us than the power OF disease.
Mrs. Alden then said. that she had been
cured from paralysis through her
awakening TO the consciousness OF her
oneness with God and has not had a
pain. she said for the hast ten years.
IL was n year after she gave herself 10
this thought before she could even be
lifted from her chair on 10 her feet.
