The case OF the government against
William Davenport, who is charged
with committing an assault with intent
to kill upon William Allen. was heard
in Portland, Friday afternoon. Both
OF these men are veterans at the TOgus
Home. Allen now lies in critical con-
dition. DR.. Walter E. Elwell, the sur
geon of the Home. testified that the
wounds that Allen had received We're
of very serious nature. but that it

they would be fatal. Four inmates of

Capt. Francis A. Cook. formerly conf

Secretary Longs attention having been
called again, Sunday night. to reports
that he contemplated resigning from the
cabinet, he again authorized an emphatic
denial that such was the case. He said
there was not a word of truth In the re-
port and that he had not the slightest
intention of resigning.
There were no advices. Sunday. to the

VAIL OF THE DRY GOODS MAN.
Short Skirts and a New Knickerbocker
Habit Playing Hob With the Silk
Trade

The short-skirt habit is playing hob
with the sale of the expensive silk pet
ticoatS which women were buying by
the half dozen a short time ago" said a
dry goods merchant to 81 sun reporter.
"At the faintest sign of bad weather
now a woman jumps into stout shoes
and an abbreviated skirt if she intends
going out. 1t may be healthful. but
it's bad for trade.
Golf has done it. The women have
found out how comfortable those ankle
skirts are. and now two women out OF
three. for every daytime excursion they
make that isn't for very formal puT-
pose wear sensible attire. as they call
il. So far as city walking goes the tad
started in earnest less than year ago
Now almost every woman you meet Is
a rainy daisy.
with the short-skirt habit they're
getting another craze which. as a man
and a dry goods dealer. I'm equally OPP
posed 10. They're quitting wearing
petticoats at all and they're wearing
knickerbockers. That's an English fad
You can tell the women who've got II
by the skimpiness of their skirts. Tho
effect isn't pleasing and I can tell yo'
the dry goods trade doesn't approve OF
it at all. Those things wear 80 long.
"If this fad doesn't pass soon there'I
be a slump in the silk trade" conctuo'
ed the dry goods man gloomily.

II seems to me there is less hearth
ness nowadays in the celebration Of
Christmas than there used to be in
years gone by. We may have Just as

content with simple pleasures and de-
mand much more for our enjoyment
than our ancestors: which is q sign
Of progression. perhaps. but certainly
does not add to either health or happi-
ness. Do, you remember Christmas
Eve at Dingley Dell. immortalized by
Dickens. It Is thus described:
when they were all tired Of blind
mans buff. there was a great game at
snap-dragon. and when fingers enough
were burned with that and all the raj
sins were gone. they sat down by a
huge fire of blazing logs to substan-
tial supper. and a mighty bowl of was
sail. something smaller than an ordi-
nary washhouse copper. In which the
hot apples were kissing and bubbling
with u rich look. and jolly sound,
that were perfectly Irresistible

The big match making machine
briefly. is an endless chain belt 60(
feet long and several feet vide. with
horizontal surfaces. and passing over
pulleys at each end. The links In the
chain are pairs Of ,elamps running
cross wise. Of the belt. and are nine
inches, apart. The belt travels by
jerks. 30 strokes minute and nine
irc!es 1T q stroke and at each stop
4eo spiints drop from the feeding ma
chine into the pair Of clamps beneath
1t and are automatically locked be-
tween them.
The splints stand on end, and are
separated into seven rows by laths to
keep their heads from sticking to-
gether when coated with melted phos-
phorus. In its travels the belt or
carrier" slides over a long, steam
heated drying table which. takes the
moisture out of the splints 80 that
they will readily absorb melted wax.
Just before each frame Of splints
leaves the table beater strikes a
blow on the upper ends OF the upright
sticks. ieveling them SO that they will
pass evenly over the phosphorus roller.
The leveied ends are then dragged
through 4 bath OF melted paraffin
wax SO that the match will burn
easily when struck.
After passing over a second drying
table the wax ends Of the spiints are
drawn over roller that has its lower
part immersed in steam heated melted
phosphorus. The phosphorus caught
by the. ends of the splints Is dried by
the time the splints reach the end Of
the machine. There circular cam
cones down and uniocks each frame.
and a comb" descends and pushes. the
block Of 400 matches down on to an in
clined oscillating table. which auto
matically arranges them in parallel
rows. Thence the matches are carried
10 the packing tables. put in match
boxes. and then in packing boxes and
crates for shipment. Five boys run 4
match making machine. which makes
matches in just 80 minutes and turns
out $4,000. .010 in 20 hours.
The feeder" is an endless belt like
the carrier. but shorter. 1t moves in
unison with the carrier. and just over
II at one point. The feeder moves past
eight windows in little room through
which boys poke splints into its frames
After passing all the windows a frame
usually contains its 400 splints. As
both belts stop. feeder frame auto
matically delivers its splints into a car
rier frame just underneath. 4
