for dear life, but alas for her plans;
as the job was nearly completed, a
noise was heard in the hall, and Mrs.
Johnson exclaimed, with horror
"Hide, hide, I hear Mrs. A. $ and
Mrs. BIS voices; they are coming in
here"
Where, where shall / hide ~ he
gasped.
Behind that dressing table.
"Oh, my legs would show don't
you see it is only a table with no
cover on it?"
Here" she cried, ''is a closet, go
in there - and she hastily pushed
him in Goor, just in time 10 put the
trousers behind sofa cushion and to
get up a conventional expression
for the two women who were now fair
ly landed in the room.
"You here?" said Mrs. A why
thought saw you go into supper
with Mr.. Layton
so I did, but came up here to
get something, or fix my dress, l
mean tore the lace"
"Let me help you,'' said Mrs. b.,
pleasantly.
"Oh, no, it is nothing, only my
underskirt l have it now" pretend
ing to hold on to something as she
really kept her hand on the closet
door. Lovely ball is it not? Are
you not going down stairs? Do not
wait for me. /"
"Oh, we do not mind" declared
Mrs. A. "I left my handkerchief
somewhere about, and came up to
look for it.'
1T is not on the sofa," nearly
screamed Mrs. Johnson, thinking of
the trousers behind the pillow II
am sure saw it on the ballroom door
as l came OUT
Then we can all go in together,
suggested Mrs. B., who was rather
tired of losing so much time but
dear me, who is that knocking at
that door?"
For, to Mrs. Johnson S horror, faint
tapping, now growing louder and
more insistent every moment, delug-
ed her ears.
Nothing" she insisted. ''it is my
foot hitting the door" Mrs. A. and
B. exchanged glances. "They think
I'm crazy" thought Mrs. Johnson in
despair, as the knocking continued.
"What does Mr.. Johnson mean by
making such terrible noise," she
thought.
But suddenly all disguises and con-
ventionality fed as leaf before a
storm. Mary, Mary, for Gods
sake let me in you have pushed me
into the ballroom, and the people are
coming back from supper !"
The catastrophe was frightful.
The ladies flew from the dressing
room as Mr.. johnson, trouserless,
rushed in, and the curtain goes down
on the story in great confusion.
Later reports declare, though, that
nothing could persuade Mr.. Johnson
to go out again that season, for that

other accidents in a dress suit made
for man of one hundred and thirty
five pounds and worn by him when he
weighs two hundred pounds. .-Anzy

THE DOGS COLD NOSE.

When Noah, perceiving twas time to embark,
Desired the creatures to enter the ark,
The dog with friendliness truly sublime
Assisted in herding them. Two at a time
He drove in the elephants. zebras and gnus
Until they were packed like b0xful of screws
The cat in the cupboard, the mouse on the shelf.
But such was the lack of available space
He couldn't tuck all of him into the place,
And so, though the river rushed over the plain
And down from the heavens fell blankets OF rain.
He stood with his muzzle thrust out through the
deer
The whole forty days of that terrible pourl
Because of which drenching, the Sages unfold,
The nose of a healthy dog always is cold.

BUSINESS
 BANKRUPT Shoe Factory Closes
 Its Doors.
The Grover Com any Where the Explosion Took Place-By This Ac. ton Stores Are Exempt From Attachment.

Brockton, Mass, April 1O.-The shoe firm of R. R. Grover X Co of this city, at whose factory the disastrous boiler ing fifty eight lives and $25O,O0O prop erty loss, has voluntarily assigned for the benefit of creditors. The assignees are Charles F. Hall of the American Hide and Leather Co, Boston; Judge Warren A. Reed, and Fred B. Moward, vice-president of the Home National bank of this city.
 Judge Reed, speaking for the as- signees, said: ''It is impossible to give any adequate idea of the assets and liabilities. The assets consist mainly of the Emerson shoe stores scattered throughout the country. The assign ment is made to enable the firm to carry on the business during the cur rent season. The action has nothing to do with the legal responsibility of the firm for claims growing out of the dis aster"
 It is explained that the action ir filing assignment papers exempts the twenty-two stores of the company from oIIdeHHleHL III CdSc stllS SHOulu Ut brought.
 A meeting of the assignees will be held tomorrow to consider the ques tion of continuing the business. It is said the creditors are agreeable to al arrangement for the assignees to con
 tinue the business and to an ultimate reorganization.
 The corporation is composed of R
 B. Grover, president; J. F. Hill vice
 president; c. o. Emerson, treasurer
 and Daniel S. Howard, Jr, clerk.

DUMPING REFUSE
Residents of Eastern Sec.
 tion of City Up in Arms.

Residents of the eastern section of the city are up in arms over the dump ing of refuse on the roadsides in that district. The other day somebody un- loaded three or four wagonfuls of of fensive matter on the Stilson road and the neighbors would like to see the health authorities see if something can not be done to locate the offending par ties. In the meantime they would feel deeply grateful for the removal of the rubbish. There is a nice question. Supposing some one comes along in the night and dumps grabage on a mans land and the culprit cannot be found, who will pay the cost of carting it away? After the passage of the amendments to the charter the de- pertinent of health will be clothed with authority to abate nuisances and charge the expense to the owner of the property on which the nuisance existed, but it is fair to conclude that this could not be done unless the own- CT was responsible. for the trouble, un- less the health board decides to dc Business on the principle of the fellow who gave an innocent spectator to a light poke in the jaw and then ex cused his conduct by stating thai while he knew he was striking the
 wrong man the offender had disap peared and he was bound to punisl somebody.

shirked Work And Then Tried to Assault Su.
 perior Officer.

Los Angeles, Cal, April 1O.-Richard Starr, a sailor, member of the crew of Rear Admiral Goodrich's flagship Chicago, now lying at Long Branch, has been brought to Los Angeles under arrest for attempting to assault Ad- miral Goodrich. Starr was one of the crew of boat in which Admiral Good rich was being rowed ashore from the Chicago. The admiral reprimanded Starr for shirking in the use'of his oars, and the sailor, becoming en- ragged, attempted to assault the com manding officer of the Pacific squad ron. He was overpowered quickly by the other members of the crew and ar. rested. Later Starr was brought to Los Angeles and placed in jail. It is said his mind is unbalanced as the re- suit of the explosion on the battleship Missouri at Pensacola several months ago. He will be tried to determine his sanity.

THE SUN DOES NOT
 SHINE FOR T. C. PLATT.
Has Been One of the Senator's Strongest Supporters Heretofore Claims Now that the We'll Known Poli. tcian Has Entered Into Offensive and Defensive Alliance With Ex.Cov Black.

New York, April 10.-The New York Sun, which for years has been friendly to Senator Thomas c. Platt, and has supported him in his efforts to lead the republican party in this state, says to-day that an offensive and defensive alliance has been entered into between the senator and former Governor Frank s. Black. The Sun says:
 Senator Platt and eX-GOvernor Frank s. Black have had a long and very satisfactory talk at the Fifth Avenue hotel. The meeting between them took place on Wednesday even- ing. Every effort has been made to keep secret the fact that they met and talked over the republican situation in the state of New York. The news came out yesterday and William Barnes, Jr, chairman of the executive committee of the republican state con- mittee; Colonel George w. Dunn. ex- chairman of the state committee; Will liam l.. Ward republican national con- mitteeman for the state, and Represent tative John Dwight of Dryden are aware that Mr Platt and Mir Black have come to satisfactory under standing"
 The Sun further says that Mir Platt and Mir Black agreed to enter into an alliance and to invite other leaders throughout the state to join them, with the object of contesting the control of the party at the next state conven- ton,

The "H0ly Rollers"

A community which is expected to rival and finally surpass that of Dowie is established at Benton Harbor, Mich, says the Philadelphia Public Ledger. The name it has adopted is the Con- munity of Modern Israelites, but 1t is popularly called the Holy Rollers. The order throughout the country is said to number 144,OOO, and all are expected to be gathered at Benton HarbOr in August of 1916, when the world will end. The heads of the order are Ben jamin and Mary, formerly Kentuck- fans, who recently returned from Aus tralia with eighty converts. All are vegetarians, and they ascribe to this the fact that not one is baldheaded and all are robust. The community is pros porous, working 300 acres of fertile land. Everything is held in common, including children, who come in with their parents. Marriage is not allowed. and husband and wife separate on join ing.

Was Electrocuted in Sing Sing Prison
 This Morning.

Ossining, N. r., April 1O.-Martin Ebelt met death in the electric chair ill Sing Sing prison to-day. Ebelt strangled his wife to death July 24, 1903, near their home at Mt Vernon. The young woman was 19 years old and Ebelt was p. Jealousy was the motive for the murder.
 / Ebelt went to his death without betraying a trace of fear. Two priests had remained with him much of the night and when the keeper went to the cell to lead him to the death chamber he was greeted with a cheery Good morning." Ebelt called out Goodbye, boys," to the nine other men in the cells for the con demned and each one responded. The priests were reciting the prayer fol the dying and Ebelt, who carried 2 be muttering prayer.

Records of Immaculate Conception
 Parish Show Dunne's Birth Year.
 Birth Year.
 The Rev Michael O'Neile, first resi- dent Catholic pastor of Waterbury, enjoyed the distinction of baptizing Mayor-elect DUnne of Chicago. The entry on the parish records at the I'm maculate Conception church reads as follows: October %. 1853. I baptized. Edward, born on the tenth of this month. son of Patrick H. Dunne and Bridget Mary, his wife. Sponsors Edward Hughes Cantwell and Ellen Dwyer. Michael O'Neile.
 This is but enc of the thousands of similar instances which might be cited to show the great possibilities to children of the working classes in this country. At that time the outlook for offspring of men of limited means was not as bright as it is to-day and yet young Dunne surmounted all obstacles and forged his way to the mayoralty of the second largest city in the greatest country in the world. It proves, too, the folly of people think iny that there is anything in name. Judge Dunne's fathers name was Patrick and his mothers Bridget. both distinctly Irish, and in the opinion of some, handicaps upon those who bear such names outside Ireland. There's nothing in name. especially when one has to step into the arena and carve out a place for himself in the world In all such cases success depends or the man or the woman and people whC look at the question from any Othci standpoint make very serious mis | take

REVOLUTION IN AMERICA.
It Will Come, Says Rider Haggard, if Gigantic Trusts Are Not Curbed.

It Will Come, Says Rider Haggard,
 if Gigantic Trusts Are Not Curbed.
 H. Rider Haggard, who is in the United States as an envoy of the Brit ish government in the course of an in- vestigation of Salvation Army colonies in America, recently said at Amity, Colo: "I see nothing except revolution and ruin in this country if you do not curb your gigantic trusts. Prices have been elevated to the prohibitive point for all except the very rich, and this will cause trouble unless remedy is quickly and thoroughly applied.
 "Why, the bacon we eat in Amity on the table costs more in Colorado, where 1t is made, than 1t does in England! I believe the colonization of city people in large tracts of land will solve the problem of high prices.
 "The poor people who live in your big cities and in Colorado get what we con- slider in England good wage, but the cost of living is so high here that they have no conveniences, comforts or money. The poorer classes of people in England do not make as much mon- ey as in this country, but they live bet ter."

INDUSTRIAL WORK
 IN THE SOUTH

The Rev William R. Webster of Bos- ton spoke at Trinity church last night on educational work in the south among the highlanders between Vir- ginia and the gulf. "The masses of the southern people," he said, live out of contact with the higher civili- zation. Twenty millions out of twen- ty-three millions are scattered over the great plantations in the moun- tains through the sparsely settled pine lands, and rice and cane fields. While the central north has an average popu- lation of 140 to the square mile, the south has only p. Ignorance is dense and widespread. Morality is at a low ebb in broad sections. Between Vir- ginia and the Gulf of Mexico there are from three to four millions of the American Highlanders and the poor whites of the pineries. Many of them are descendants from the Revolu- tiOnary soldiers who started in with the tide of emigration that set in from the east to the west, many of whom became stranded in the mountains. "Waifs" in the great procession and others who did not believe in slavery, or could not compete with slave la bor, were forced back into the moun- tain fastnesses. So they have clung together in scattered communities. Separated from civilized life. ignorant of the trades, and of skilled labor, their mountain farms extremely poor and unprOductive, they have been involved in darkness equal to that of the Box CTS of China. and just as reckless in
 their disregard of law and life. Where the blood feuds prevail and the moon- shining they shoot one another and even shoot a judge on the bench with out any thought of the consequences. But when we remember that Abraham
 Lincoln. Andrew Jackson, Stonewall | Jackson. Gen John Logan were from | the same ancestry, we see the possi- Utilities of the future if they have the
 opportunities of improvement"

THE BRITISH BUDGET.
Chamberlain Says Revenue Exceeds
 His Estimate.

London, April 1O.-Budget day at tracted a large crowd of members of parliament and visitors to the house of commons to-day, and when the chan cellor of the exchequer, Austen Cham berlain, rose to make his annual state ment, the house was well filled in all parts.
 At the outset Mir Chamberlain put his hearers in good humor by an nOuncing that the revenue of the year just closed exceeded his estimate by nearly $15,O00,OO0, showing that the trade of the country had turned the corner and whereas q year ago there was a heavy deficit there had now been established something more than equi- librium between the revenue and ex- penditures.
