The Fairy Lampiighter.

In q life Of Joseph Severn the nara

Keats in his last illness includes
graceful incident. Severn, worn out
with watching and tireless service,
would sometimes drop asleep and a.

the sick man in darkness, which he
dreaded. Realizing that this was liza

One evening he fastened thread from
the bottom of the candle already light
ed to the wick at the top Of another
unlighted one set ready near by.
Not being sure the experiment would
succeed, he had not mentioned 1t, and
when later on he fell mapping as the
first candle was burning low the H.

him, but lay patiently awaiting the ex-

But it was only the good fairy OF
many sickrooms-loving forethought-
that had lighted the candle.

sANDoW GIAL THE LATEST.
New Shirt Waist Lends an Athletic
Effect to the Figure.

Effect 10 the Figure.
The Sandow girl is in style. The new
shirt waists are built so that a woman
looks twice as wide as she is, says the
London Times. In her skirt she looks
narrower, for skirts are very clinging,
and they are fitted as far down as the
knees. But with the waist it is differ
ent. Here the figure must be broad
and apparently muscular, so that the
midsummer woman comes very near
being top heavy.
The new waists are made with the
shoulder plat. This is fold of cloth
which is put on in such a manner that
it projects over the shoulders. In GER
tain shape it is called the "GibsOnian."
and its immediate effect is to make the
shoulders look very wide. 1t is really
more becoming to a slender woman
than to plump one, but both styles
are wearing it, and you are gradually
getting used to the woman who looks
twice as broad as she did in the spring.
Sleeves display the same popularity.
They are tucked in rows of tucking
running around the arm, and they are
trimmed with bands of lace going
round and round, all Of which tend to
make the sleeves large and the arm
big.

IN SESSION
At Great Falls and Billings Are Held
the Annual Meeting Of the
WooIgrowers.
HILeER RECALLS EARLY DAYS
Both Conventions Agree to Hold Out
on the Shearers to Ensure
Fair Treatment.

Great Falls, July 2i.-The second
annual convention of the woolgrow
ers of Northern Montana was brought
to a close at 6 o'clock yesterday af
ternoon by the election of Col. j. II
Rice OF Fort Benton as president and
c. H. Campbell of Great Falls as sec.
retary, both to succeed themselves.
The convention complimented both
officers for the efficient work they
had done during the year and express
ed the hope that the same progres IS
would be made in 1903.
President Rice will send the names
of the ways and means committee to
the secretary at once and those ap-
pointed will be notified.
The executive session of the meet
ing lasted from l o'clock until almost
time for calling the convention to or.
der. There was nothing to be given
out or the proceedings.
The last session of the convention
was called to order shortly after 3
o'clock by the president, Col. ]. H
Rice. There were almost 100 mem.
bers present and as the meeting pro-
gressed this number was increased.
Several very interesting and in.
structive papers we're read. The hu-
morous side of THE History of Mon.
tana Wool Markets was given in a
letter by David Hilger of Lewistown.
A letter was read from Mr.. Hilger
by the president, in which he stated
his inability to be present, owing to
pressing business. However, he as
sured the association his whole heart
was with 1t in its purposes. He said
that next year he expected to be able
to ride from Lewistown to Great Falls
In a railway coach and avoid the long
120-mile drive, and felt sure, under
these conditions, he would be able
to be present. He sent his paper
along and 1t was well read by H. H.
Nelson of Cascade. It was the most
humorous of the convention and relat.
ed to many incidents in the early day
v,ooI yparLot at Fort nonton IL aloo
told of how, in those days, Major
Davenport was one of the buyers and
purchased anything done up in wool
sack and paid from rs to 80 cents q

of laughter during the delivering OF
the paper and no one appreciated thl
Jokes more than did the major.

y. CHICAGO. Aug. 25.-Whether or not
the exhuming of the remains buried in
Calvary cemetery as the body of Min
ME Mitchell shall develop that the
missing girls family was correct in
accepting the body as that of their
missing daughter the police have Sc
cured ample evidence to indicate that
some young woman was lured into the
basement of the Barthol:n house on
the Wednesday night that William
Bartholn and his sweetheart vanished
from sight.
An important witness, whose name
will not be made public for the present,
has been found. He is a business man
whose home is not far from the Bar
tholin house.
According to this witness, he alight-
ed from a l'orty-third street car short
" after 0 o'clock, an hour after Minnie
Mitchell and her lover bade adieu to
the Mitchell family Oh the steps Of the
house at 6O4 Forty-fourth street.
He walked along Calumet avenue,
and his walk led him past the Bartho-
lin home. AS he went by he noticed a
woman apparently quite young stand
ing on the grass plot in front Of the
building. The pedestrian had gone be.
yond the Bartholn residence when he
heard a mans voice, and looking back,
he could just discern figure outlined
against the staircase leading to the
basement which two weeks ago gave
up Mrs. Barthoiin's body. The man on
the steps, who Is assumed to have been
William Barthoiin, said something that
could not be heard, and the girl re-
sponded, asking why the first speaker
wanted her to go into the "hlthy'
basement. Turning back again when
he had progressed some distance in his
walk. the pedestrian caught a glimpse
of the woman descending into the base
ment.
The police have found canvass
overshoe covered with, blood in the
Bartholin house Its size precludcs 1t
having belonged to Mrs. Bartholin, but
it has not been identified as belonging
to Minnie Nlllcnrs..
