The strike of the men who make
high-priced custom shoes last week
brought out the fact that the cost OF
these articles was due in proportion
more to the workmanship than to the
cost of materials. In fact the man
who makes the shoes receives for his
work Il very large percentage of the
selling price. One shoemaker whose
hands had struck was in despair be-
cause n lawyer in this city with very
small feet. who had been his custom
cr for many years. had just ordered
two pairs OF congress CATERS. Since
the Morguc reports were compiled by
an inquisitive man who was interested
in the style Of shoes worn by suicides
the congress gaiter has lost favor.
This investigator proved that nearly
% percent of the men found drowned
and the suicides from the parks wore
congress CATERS. At any rate these
shoes are no longer popular. This
particular lawyer, however. has worn
congress CATERS for many years and
owing to the smallness of his feet
special last was made for him. The
shoemaker's other customers could
find ready-made shoes to suit them if
his men declined to work. but he
knew that II the lawyer could not find
pair of congress CATERS that would
tit him in any shoe store in New York
BY strong personal appeal he sue
cceled in getting one Of his workmen
to make these shoes and the lawyer
himself probably does not know how
near he came to going without his ia
vorite shoes this summer.

places, but the upper portion of his
body was uninjured, save for a few
cuts. 4 fire broke out and for more
than an hour the flames burned about
the lower portion of his body. His
legs to the thighs were literally roast

ciating torture. The members OF the
train crew were utterly powerless to
help him. Every effort was made 70

bers under which he was buried, but
nothing could be done for fear of being
at once crushed under the heavy mass
Of debris.
An hour after the accident Powell
died. and the cranes tore the wrecsage
away and the body was released.
The body was sent to Canton Mon.
day night, and was taken to the home
at 500 Union street. The funeral ser.
vices will be held Wednesday morning
at o'clock from st. Johns church.
Powell was young man of scarcely
more than 20 years of age. He was
son Of Peter Powell, who sweeps
the streets around the square. AT one
time he was employed as a hostler
and later worked at the w. &c l.. E.
