Hooker. the last survivor of DR.. Lyman
Beecher's eleven children, the only one
left of those famous brothers and sis
tiers known always as 1.-The Beecher
family
Mrs. Hooker was a member of the
board of women managers of the Chi
cago Worlds fair of 1893. For the serv-
ices of Cities day at that fair she pre-
pared and read before the audience
assembled universal litany" as she
named it. 1t consisted of a series of
quotations from the religious teachings
of ancient and modern peoples, includ-
ing Egyptian, Jewish, Chinese, Bud
dhist, Christian and Moslem. The quo
tations began thus:
Egyptian.-He hath made all that is and
without Him nothing that is hath been
made.-From Book of the Dead.
Christian.-All things were made by
Him and without Him was not anything
made that was made.-John i, s.
Jewish.-For thou lowest all things that
are and abhorreSt nothing that Thou hast
made; for never wouldst Thou have made
anything if Thou hadst hated it. But
Thou sparest all, for they are Thine, o
Thou Lover of Souls.-Wisdom of Sol
onion XII, "A.
On this interesting occasion Mrs.
Hooker read aloud the religious quota
tions from other peoples, and the
mayors of American cities, led by
Carter Harrison the elder of Chicago,
read in concert the Bible quotations.

she was working for women, Mrs
Hooker maintained in her home the

Pin Tucks and-Pin Tucks.

This yoke extends across the tops of
the sleeves, and again the pin tucks
appear, this time to give the required
fullness to the lower half of the sleeves.
The skirt is cut very wide around the
feet and then pin tucks begin on the
hips on each side of the front gore.
This gore is edged by narrow band
of green taffeta which also runs around
the bottom of the skirt. The same band

call Paradise park. The people who

trailing up to the clubhouse instead.

better imagined than described Finally
one day a particularly snuffy looking

FINED FOR CONSPIRACY.
Chicago Judge UphOlds Anti-Trust
LAW and Furnishes Coal Deal
ers' Association.

Chicago, June 13.-Members of the
Retail Coal Dealers Association of Illi-
nois and Wisconsin and of the North
ern Soft Coal Dealers association, who
were indicted last winter by special
grand jury summoned during the coal
famine to investigate the charges of
onspiracy lodged against them, were
found guilty Friday by Judge Horton.
The Is defendant companies and cor
porations represented in the Northern
Illinois Soft Coal Dealers association
were each fined $500. An appeal was
taken at once on writs of error. In
the case of the retail dealers associa-
ton Judge Horton accepted pro
forma plea of guilty in each case sew
eral months ago and instructed the
jury to return a verdict of guilty to
conform with the pro forma plea and
fined the defendants-nine officials of
the association-$1OO each.
His opinion, read Friday. was to the
effect that it overruled the defendants
motions for new trials. The officials,
including the president and board of
directors of the Retail Dealers Asso-
citation of Illinois and Wisconsin, who
were fined $500 each, are as follows:
w. NJ. Sanford. c. S. Lusk, F. f. Lukens,
Gus Aucutt, f. II. Keller, +. NJ. Nc
Even, +. M. Durkee, S. S. Maston and
r. s. Brown. In the Northern Illinois
Soft Coal Dealers association the IS
defendant coal companies and cor
porations take in almost every large
coal mining company in the coal pro-
ducing counties in the northern part
of the state. The indictments charge
the defendants with conspiracy to do
an illegal act injurious to public trade,
to regulate and fix prices, to suppress.
prevent and destroy competition and
TO prevent the shipment and sale of
coal by jobbers to consumers.
