His Seathing Words to Mrs LiZ-

 New York, July 16-An extraordi- nary scene was witnessed in the court room of Recorder Golf. when a jury acquitted Mrs Lizzie Madaus of kill ing her husband, an engraver. with q potato knife .Hhe recorder had charg ed the jury strongly for conviction and few believed the defence could hope for anything better than a disagree ment Even the prisoner, who had been stoical throughout the trial. cried as the recorder finished his charge.
 Mrs Madaus' five children, including her prison born infant, were in the court and the nearby corridor.
 When the jury returned and the foreman announced the verdict, Re corder Golf said to the prisoner: ''The ancients had a law whereby in the case of q very outrageous crime they would sometimes permit the criminal to live that he might suffer the shame of his crime, which they considered severer punishment than any they could inflict, and something like this must have been in this iury's mind that they let you live and look upon the faces of your children, the children whom you have made orphans.
 '.The result of this verdict, most ex- traordinary as it is, in the face of your own testimony, gives you your free dom, but you will carry with you the knowledge that you have murdered your husband and orphaned your chil- dren. You may go"
 The recorder refused to restore two children to the mother which he plac- ed in the care of charitable society.

AFFAIRS IN CHICAGO.
Strikers Meeting To-Day Which Is
 Expected To Be Stormy One.

EStrikers' Meeting To-Day Which Is Expected To Be a Stormy One. k Chicago, July 16.-Fhe eyes of thou sands of business men this morning were turned on Wostad's hall, where the striking freight handlers were te meet during the forenoon. The re ports of committees last night said lagreements had been arrived at be tween the committees and the Lake Shore & Michigan, Southern, the Hi nois Central, the Nickel Plate and the Northwestern road They reported that the last named road had guaran- teed 171a cents to truckers, but Assist ant General Manager Aishton to-day denied that any agreement had been reached. ~There were troubled minds over the situation as to the Illinois Central also, for all remembered that several days ago a committee signed an agreement with this road which was repudiated by the majority of the strikers.
 The strikers meeting is expected to be stormy one, for President Curran has declared determined opposition to the agreements reached yesterday, while on the other hand the men are credited with desire to accept the slightest concessions in order to re- turn to work.
 Chief of Police O'Neill expressed re- lief that the wholesalers had agreed not to attempt to move freight until ? D. m The merchants had intended to make determined effort to resume shipping this morning, but when a prospect of peace appeared last night they decided to wait a little longer before taking action which it was be- lieyed certain would precipitate yio- lence.
 Chicago, July 16.-After ten days of strife the Chicago freight handlers strike terminated to-day in an unquali- fled victory for the railroads. A meet ing of the strikers, presided over by president Turran, resulted in an almost unanimous vote to return to work, leaving the wage scale and other questions for settlement between the men and their respective roads. At the conclusion of the meeting the strik- CTS went by hundreds to the ware houses to apply for their old positions and teamsters who had remained out through sympathy again took up their reins. By noon immense quantities of freight held for days was being carted to the railroads or unloaded from warehouses and cars

AMBITIOUS WOMEN
- TURN FARMERS

The abandoned farms of New Hamp-
shire and Vermont are coming into
popularity Think of that They are
being redeemed by women who have
very limited capital, constitution
tagged by earning their living in New
York. and an ambition to be proprie-
tors of something or other while accu-
mulating enough money to take life
more easily, says the Chicago Journal.
Most of these women do not spend
all the year on their estates. They
remain there during the summer.
Then they raise some kind of a crop,
recuperate. and enjoy themselves at
the same time.
They are regarded by the farming
communities as valuable acquisitions,
because they are always to the fore in
advocating and assisting in putting
improvements into effect.
One woman who assists In trans.
cribing legal documents for one Of
Gotham's most important attorneys
has purchased one of these farms Last
summer she entertained half-dozen
literary women of New York on her
estate"
She has put dormer windows into
the quaint old house. settees beside
the big fireplace, and hung crane and
kettles on It. and has furnished up all
the rooms with fascinating old furni.

Within 'nelghboring' distance there
are ten city women bread winners,

merly abandoned farms. They are
getting revenue out of their landed
property besides having royal rest
from their usual cares.
-Four Of these women have decided
to remain on their farms all the year
round. OF course. they will spend a
few weeks annually In town. But
they have turned their city work down.
They are farmers-lady farmers! One

THE ECONOMY CORNER

The woman who dresses well on a
small income is the woman who al.
ways saves her leftover bits of lace,
ribbon velvet or other trimming and
carefully keeps them for future use.
Likewise when n season Is done. she
goes carefully over her wardrobe, and
whatever seems to contain a germ of
future utility she brushes, cleans and
also carefully puts away. From these
things she evolves many a pretty bit

her second best hats.
Some things, however, often seem

died II one knows how to do 1t. Here
are some suggestions from a practical
and successful milliner on renovation:
Feathers which have become soiled
may be washed in hot water and soap.
Soft water should be used. Rinse
rinse thoroughly to get the soap out.
Brush quilts with nail brush or hair
brush.
Wash ostrich feathers in the same
way. and after rinsing thoroughly.
pass them through warm solution of
oxalic acid. After this they should be
starched in plain starch.
The fibres Of ostrich may be curled
with curling iron that is not very
hot Steam the fibres before curling.
Feather are also curled with a dull
knife Hold lightly opd do NOT pnrl too
tight. Do not curl the entire length,
but only at the end of each fibre.
Light colored feathers may be wash.
ed in benzine without detriment to
their curl or color.
Wings and fancy feathers are very
satisfactorily cleaned by washing in
benzine. After drying and pluming
with a brush, white wings should be
rubbed with magnesia.
Some all.silk ribbons and pieces of
silk may be washed in soft water. us.
ing a pure, white laundry soap. 1t IL
well to try small piece first, for all
dyes will not stand the process. Wash
gently and rinse thoroughly. Roll in
a towel and iron under tissue paper
when partially dry. Do not wiring the
ribbon or silk, but squeeze the water
out by running through a wringer
with towel or squeeze between the
palms OF the hands. Ribbons and silks
should be ironed while damp.
Silks are often satisfactorily clean.
ed in gasoline or benzine. In using
,either of these n sufficient oriantity
must be used to cover entirely the
piece being cleaned, otherwise the re.
suit will not be satisfactory. 1t hardly
seems necessary to repeat the caution
about not using either of these inflam'
mable liquids near fire. But II must
be remembered they are very danger.

From this position you are able to
move backward or forward with ease
and grace at any time If your oppo-

able to side step and get out Of her

swing your left hand for her face.
The position OF the arms and hands
are next taught. The right hand must
be well up, so as to guard the chin and
face. The left hand is turned out so
as to catch a blow on the back of your

the elbow well down, so as to protect
the stomach and abdomen. You mHst

SOME HINTS ON
HAT TRIMMING

Here is the way to make pretty
facing of Chiffon and taffeta roses for
a turban. 1t is especially good for the
dressier velvet turbans The effect can
be snowy or quiet. according to wheth'
er the chiffon is of the same color as
the turban or a strong contrast Much
depends upon the wear that is to be
given the hat as to which colors to
choose. The taffeta used should be OF
the same color as the chiffon, but may
be shade or so darker. In the self
tone effects that are now being used.
pretty effects'are obtained by using
velvet, taffeta and chiffon in varying
shades of one color.
Cut from plain chiffon a foundation
that will fit the brim. Upon this lay
bias folds of chiffon one-half inch
wide after folding, row on row. and
sew to the foundation with silk
thread matching the chiffon in color.
This facing of folds makes the foun'
dalton for the fat roses of taffeta.
To make these. cut circular piece
Of taffeta two and half inches In di
ameter. Sew to this round and round
a bias fold of the taffeta, one incl
wide after folding. Hold rather scant
so that the outer edge will have ten
dency to curl inward like rose petal
Terminate the fold in the middle will

half-dozen of these roses, or as man!
as are needed, are set on the founda
ton of chiffon folds and sewed firmly
The facing is then ready TO be seweC
on the brim.
Also pretty for facings Is lact

iaCings of felt, panne silk, or satin ar,
first covered smoothly with lace. All
over lace Is best, but that having al
edge may be used. II all-over lace Il
