demonstrations of approval from the inter-
ested listeners. The vocal soloist Miss Edna

and hexibility, sang sacred selection

Everything points to the passing Of the

that their vogue remained for so long pc

This is realized when 1t is seen across a
large room or a theater The effect is al
ways patchy. Moreover, the fashion was
very trying to short figures. and not partic-
ularly becoming to tall ones. That the sep

ming have again been raised.
Detective Asch said yesterday that both
he and Manning had been working inces-
sanity on the case and had just learned
few things that might result in the arrest
of the guilty parties. When asked If the
investigat tion of the Selvage case had been
dropped Superintendent Taffe said yester-
day that in his opinion ii had merely be-
gun. He said that several facts in connec-
ton with the murder of the woman in 1900
had been secured within the week and that
he had given the detectives instructions TO
follow the to the end and reveal the
true facts If such thing was within their
power.
1t is the opinion of the police. however,
that Cantrell did considerable talking while
he was here merely for the notoriety he
gained. and the new clews were not discov-

Cooperative wedding Gifts.

New York Tribune.
Prospective brides will probably hail with
delight the news that cooperative wedding
gifts are a fast growing fad In England.
and one likely to spread to this side of the
water. There will be no more weeping over
the receipt of sixteen butter knives or two
dozen pepper cruets. or score of pickle
Dishes all of the same pattern. Sensitive
friends will no longer be mortally offended
because of the exchange of duplicates. The
cooperative idea seems to have been sug-
gested by the fact that servants and ten
ants on large estates found it the only way
open to them. well-known and lately
welded couple In England received, the
bride. gorgeous set of diamonds. and the
bridegroom, an automobile, from a number
of dear friends, who singly could have given
only comparatively trifling evidence of their
appreciation. 1t is not to be doubted that
any sensible American girl would prefer the
deed to house and lot to half hundred
specimens at s1O $40 or $50 frumpery.
