made of cream colored pongee in
the shape of a meal sack. The sack is
tied with crimson satin ribbon, jus;

is faced with red, so that it shows
Q pretty contrast with the cream
colored pongee as it spreads open.
Cunningly peeping from the folds
of this top is brown velvet mouse

source of much amusement. A de-
sign of wheat ears is embroidered
upon the front of the pillow.

SECRET OF
A MONASTERY

VIENNA, July IA murder mys.
terry of 80 years standing has tus,
been cleared up, 1t is announced from
bucharest. In Moldavia an old man
and his three sons, all grown I'D. were
discovered one morning murdered
suspicion fell Immediately on the
wire or the man, who was missing,
and who was known to have lived on
exceedingly bad terms with her hus-
band and sons, who were in the habit
Of beating her very cruelty and other

cry was raised, she was never found.
There has recently died in the mon

THE POLICE RAID ON DIVES WITH THE RESULT
ANT ARRESTS OF 1000 PEOPLE, SHOW THAT A
CITY GIVEN OVER TO GRAFT BECOMES ALSO
CITY SUNK IN VICE OF THE WORST FORMS.

I these were concerned diamonds and
other jewels were at discount.
They had them to burn, but when
it came to the crucial test there were
few who had the price of a fine or
even money enough to pay for a tele-
phone or telegraph message.
Some of the scenes whep the plain
clothes men raided the houses were
almost beyond description. This is
especially true of some of the room
houses in the center and northwestern
sections of the city.
Young girls were found in various
stages of dishabille and their male
companions were not better off so
far as the quantity of clothing was
concerned Some of them were given
opportunity to dress for the street,
but there were others who were not
dealt with SO leniently and disarrang-
ed or incomplete toilets were the rule
rather than the exception.
In one instance a man and his
companion were hustled from one of
the houses to the station, and when
they were arraigned they told that
they were man and wife and lived
in Trenton and had been sent to the
place, which had been represented
to them as lodging house. No ere
dence was given their story; 5000 bail
was the decision as to the woman,
and $25 fine so far as the man was
concerned. The fine was paid, but 1t
was late today before bondsman
could be found for the wife. Their
story, by the way. was true. but the
fact that they did not carry their
marriage certificate with them Prov
ed disastrous.
There was another case which at
tracted attention. a very pretty
young woman had been arrested and
held to bail. Her companion paid
his fine and hurried away to get
someone to secure the girls release.
During his absence the girl made
one of the most impassioned appeals
imaginable for freedom, but the
MAGISTRATE was as adamant.

In one house eight prominent bust

Men and Women High UP Caught
in the Police Net-Shocking Scenes
and Startling Disclosures-A Police
Oficer Who Let Prominent Citizens
slip Through Is on the Rack.

PHILADELPHIA, July Mayor
Viewers vice raid has shocked Phil
a delphia beyond anything that has
occurred in this city. The ordinary
citizen never even dreamed of the
existence of such conditions.
That violators of the law, many
of them men and women of good
standing in the community, to the
number of 1000 or more, could be
rounded up in n few hours would
have been regarded as utterly i'm.
possible Weaver did it, though, and
the overlooking prisons testified to
the shocking conditions of the under
world.
Talk of the evil there has been
aplenty: it has been n part of the
crusade made by the few free news
papers against the ring that has con-
trolled the city. 1t has been dis.
counted. however, because of the
claim that it was inspired by politi-
cal prejudice.
Now. Weaver has laid bare the cor
ruption. He shown shown that cor
rupt and contented' Philadelphia has
applied not only to graft, but to low
er forms of vice. He has proved
what those on the inside have known
for years. and that is that Philadel-
phia has been the most open city in
the country. Little has been heard
of vice in the courts because the
criminals were not molested. They
paid tribute to the police and poll
ticians and were given full swing.
The result was o condition of af-
fairs that would not be tolerated in
any other American city. 1t was more
open and fragrant than existed in
New York at the time of the Park
hurst raids.
To enumerate the evils would be
simply to give full list of the dis
orderly houses, opium joints and
gambling resorts that have ever
thrived in the large cities. All have
for years been running In full blast.
Temptation confronted the young and
the weak on all sides. Weaver's raid
has at last given the reign of law
lessness "A check.
His remedy is Il hard one. Homes
have been broken. Men and women
who have stood well will go branded
to their graves TO them the raid
has brought fearful penalty. To

less serious matter. simply a check
to business.

few days ago. Near the Hay plot
is the grave of Amasa Stone. father
of Mrs. Hay. who had a national rep
utation through his connection with
the iron industry and railroad enter
prises. Men who did not amass great
wealth, but were notable in scientific
and professional pursuits, have been
laid away at Lake View. So it is
that John Hay rests at last among
the friends who knew him in the days
before he became a famous diplomat,
who loved him for his many fine quail
tiles and rejoiced with him in every
victory that led him nearer the ex.
allied station he reached at last, as

FAMOUS JOKE is RECALLED
Sydney Smiths Method 10 Get Fun
Out Of q Scotchman-Corh.
screw His System.

AT the Associated Booksellers
dinner in Edinburgh the other
week a story Illustrating one of
Sydney Smiths most famous Jokes
was recalled. All the world knows
Sydney Smiths saying that it re
qnired a surgical operation to get
d joke into a Scotsman's head.
But in 1874 he supplied a Scotsman
with "a consolatory Interpretation
of this dictum.
When William Chambers. the
publisher, was visiting London in
1874 there drove up to the door
of his lodgings in Greek street.

by Il pair of sleek horses. From
this descended an aged gentle
man. who. from his shovel hat and
black CATERS, was seen to be az 8 !
clesiastical dignitary. He was
ushered in and his name an
nounced, "Rev. Sydney Smith"
"You are surprised possibly at
my visit said Sydney. "There is
nothing at all strange about it.
The originator of the Edinburgh
REVIEW has come to see the origin
ator of the Edinburgh journal"
Smith talked about old times in
Edinburgh. He made some little
inquiry about Chambers own
early efforts, and he laughed
when Chambers reminded him of
a saying of his own about study
ing on a little oatmeal.
".Ah. labora, lahora," he said.
sententiously. "How that word
expresses the character of your
country!w
well, we do sometimes work
pretty hard" observed Chambers.
but for all that we can relish a

Scotch have a considerable fund
of humor."

Smith. "You are an immensely
