ENCLAND'S DREYFuS
CASE is AT AN END
Committee Of Inquiry Finds
Judge at Trial of Beck
Was Responsible.
IMPRISONED
AdoIph Beck Served Five, Years for tn,
Crimes of William Thomas, and
Is at Last Given a Complete
Vindication.

London, Nov. 2S.-The report of the
committee of inquiry in the case of
Adolph Beck. h for the crimes Of
William Thomas, alias John Smith,
served a term of five years imprison-
ment in England on n charge OF obtain
ing money under false pretenses, places
practically the entire blame for the
miscarriage OF justice upon Judge Sir
Forrest Fulton, who excluded from
Beck's trial all the evidence favorable
to the accused, and who refused to state
the case for consideration of the higher
court. The committee finds hat If the
matter could have been brought before
h g higher court the flaw in the pro-
%ceedings must have been discovered
and the conviction %quashed, and If
there had been a qualified lawyer in
the home Office the real nature of he
miscarriage would have been SO
brought to the attention of the under
secretary for home affairs as to compel
intervention.
"England'sD reyfus case" as the Bee
scandal has been called, has set all
Great Britain by the ears for several
months. Beck. an absolutely innocent
man. was convicted for the same sort
of crimes. and under circumstances
which seem almost incredible. Justice
Sir Forrest Fulton instructed a verdict
against Beck in the face of the evil
dence, even after he had excluded
everything that would have been favor
able to the defense. and then denied an
appeal. 1t is said that he acted like
a mailman during the trial. and seemed
determined at any cost and any sacri-
flee of justice TO convict Beck. 1t was

cumlocution or of the awful miscar-
riage of English administration in his
day to compare with this case.

Senate that he must appear who sues
for divorce. This divorce committee,
consisting of nine members, has full
power. 1t can perform all the es-

WRINKLES.

A French cure for wrinkles, says the
Pilgrim for February, consists of a
compress of linen soaked in equal
quantities of alcohol and white of
egg bound tightly over the forehead
and allowed to remain overnight until
the wrinkles have disappeared. A
Berlin remedy begins with the nightly
face steaming or hot bath, very
slight massaging with cold cream
which must be thoroughly absorbed by
the skin, then lastly. after the skin has
been stretched perfectly smooth, tiny
strips of court plaster are fastened
over the wrinkle. Apply the plaster,
whicA should be rather stiff and OF
sufficient body to hold the skin in
place; on the forehead first using two
strips lengthwise and holding them in
place for a few seconds to insure per-
feet smoothness. Two pieces a quar-
ter of an inch wide and half an linen
long will fasten the wrinkles between
the eye down firmly while the burrows
at each side of the mouth are decora-
ted with d dainty lattice in plaster
strips. One can only tell by expert
menting as to the length of time the
plaster treatment should continue,
some skins being so easily irritated an
hour twice a day will be all that is
advisable, while others have worn the
plasters overnight with no III effects.
The treatment after the plasters are
removed should be faithfully attended
to or the skin will be rough and red.
| Softly dabble over the entire surface
with hot water then lightly massage
in the smallest amount possible OF
cold cream or skin food and when no
trace of cream remains dust over all
a smooth powder, being sure every
furrow is well covered so no dust from
house or street can work evil in the
tender skin.
When wrinkles first make their APP
pearance, diluted lemon juice Will re-
tard their growth by hardening the
skin, as will also an astringent POM
AIDE made as follows: 100 grams oil of
sweet almonds, so grams white wax,
rs grams each of tincture of benzoin
and rose water with IL grams of pull

not be rubbed in as a massage cream,
but gently applied after massage to

WOMEN AND MONEY.

Perhaps the first difficulty young
wives have to encounter, as well as
the last that old wives have still to
wrestle with, is the question of money
Most women, says a writer in Har-
per's Bazaar, are by nature economical.
They watch .outgo more carefully than
men do, and plan expenditures more
closely. The extravagant women are
usually those whose lives have not
been allowed to develop naturally
who have been forced into an economic
dependence, and taught the joys of
spending, with none of the counter
balancing difficulties of earning. But
even such women have economical
streaks in the midst of their lavish
ness-a sort of sDasmodic reversion
to type. In spite of this there is in
most masculine minds deep-seated
distrust of woman's financial ability;
and the consequence is that the world
is full of careful industrious wives
nagged and hindered by careless, i'm
pulsive husbands, who take to them
selves the credit of the. wife's saw
ings, and throw upon her the blame
Of their own loose methods. Few of
these women like to assert them
selves boldly as their husbands finan-
cial superiors-some of them even aid
him In his joyful career Of self-de-
ception-and when in desperation they
are driven to take the reins into their
own hands 1t hurts them worse than
1t does the husbands.

DIVORCES RARE IN CANADA.

In Canada there are but two things
which can dissolve marriage-death
and infidelity. An applicant, says the
World to-day, for divorce must act
under the provisions of law marked
at every step by the most rigorous
limitations If man, or a woman-
for the requirements are the same
wishes to secure divorce in Canada
he must resign himself at the outlet
to publicity. Publicity, absolute pub
licity, is an essential to divorce in the
dominion; there is no such thing as
securing a divorce on the quiet. A
formal notice. couched In the pre-
scribed form of law, announcing inten-
ton to apply for divorce, giving the
names of applicant and accused, with
the ground of accusation, must be in
serted for six months in two news
papers published in the town or city
where the applicant resided at the
time OF separation. A similar notice
must also be printed in the Canada
Gazette, the official organ Of the gov
eminent.
No court of law in the Dominion
of Canada has anything to do in grant,
ing divorce, no judge on the bench
has authority to consider any case
in which the marriage contract is
to be annulled, though he may in
certain matters say whether a mar

THE REVIVAL OF
OLD-FASHIONED
EMBROIDERIES

An old craze in the fancy work line,
which is called new, is canvas en-
broidery, but it is really one of the
oldest of feminine occupations. There
is difference, however, in the kinds
of materials used and the result pro-
duced, although the principle remains
the same.
In the old days, when this work was
| popular, there was only one kind OF
canvas to select from, and yarn was
used exclusively for working the pat
terms. Nowadays, there are all sorts
Of canvas weaves and as many beauti-
full colored silks, linens or cottons to
choose from, so when finished the
embroidered patterns appear much
more workmanlike.
bedroom set designed for a sum-
mer cottage was dainty enough to
use in spare room. The set con-
sisted of bedspread, shams, dresser,
commode and table scarf and one pill
low. The work was done on coarse
weave of cream linen. which resem-
bled scrim, and on which a pattern
had first been stamped in conven-
tional design of fieur de lis. The
center Of the bedspread had a mass
of the fieur de lis, while the border
was conventional and caught together
with a bowknot design, all done in
yellow silk.
The pattern was first darned. and
when finished the edge of each blos-
som was worked in a double cross
stitch design, covering two threads of
the canvas each way. This made it
stand out distinctly from the back
ground. giving it raised appearance.
The edge of the spread was scalloped
and buttonhole stitched with the yell
low silk.
The mosaic embroidery is also done
on canvas, which comes In little
squares. An artistic and useful toilet
mat for a bathroom was done i'm a
heavy blue and white linen thread.
The center pattern was in a diamond
design. When finished, each solid
blue check was starred with white, and
vice versa. The edge of the mat was
hemmed, and 1t was lined with felt.
For canvas embroidered curtains
there are several novel little edges
made from which to select for a fin
ish. These edges come in all coll
ors, as well as white and are made in
the clip form, which means that both
sides are alike. Curtain bands are
made to match and are finished with

for a loop.
Another new embroidery is the
Bulgarian. The work is becoming
popular here, as 1t is in Europe, and
promises to be one Of the favorite
occupations of the summer. It is done
on heavy linen, usually in three colors
of linen floss, which have laundering
qualities.
A table spread done in Bulgarian
work had a design of maple leaves
about the border, with the edge but
tonhole stitched. Polka dots, about
the size of a pea, were worked in red
and blue over the entire center up to
the border. The leaves were caught
together with a garland of polka dots
in alternate colors of red and blue.

something his host said at dinner
some passing reference to the mete-
roic rise of Mr.. ]. Spencer Atwood
from law to literature-had set that
prosperous young author thinking on
the not very remote yesterdays of his
life.
He might have hailed a hanson;
INDEED, he could we'll afford a carriage
and a pair of his own, but this night
he preferred to walk home.
In a narrow lane just off the Strand
he found himself at the street door of
a dingy brick building. Coming out
of his revery he laughed noiseless
little laugh, and stood for a moment
looking UP at a window which, for
years, had been his one opening to the
world. How many cigars had he
smoked, how many air castles had he
builded with one elbow on the ledge
of that lonely lookout?
While, as a matter of fact, he had
not foreseen this fame which was
come to him, he had, in some vague
way, felt it, and had experienced no
great surprise at it's coming.
It was pleasant, after years of alb
sence from the little lane, to stand
there in the midnight silence and look
up at the window where he had
dreamed some of the rosiest dreams
of his life.
A year ago he lived there.
Yesterday he lunched with the Lord
Chief Justice.
To-day he dined with Gladstone.
Tomorrow he would sail for Amer
lea. He was stealing quietly away,
for he hated noise and notoriety. He
was going to visit and to rest.
Goodbye, dear old stepstone, good
bye" he quoted and turned away.
AS he walked slowly to his luxuri-
Gus apartments Atwood began to ask
himself why he had come back to the
old place at midnight and alone. Was
it Mr.. Gladstone's reference to the old
days? or Mr.. Gladstone's old port? or
was he losing himself in his work?
Anyway he was glad that his stout
limbs had carried him back that he
might take leave of his old bachelor
