with success can De Utilized, while the
trimming can be almost any contrast

The up-to-date sleeve is absolutely
essential to the style of the waist or
the gown. No other feature changes
SO often and none so surely marks
the fashion. Illustrated are some adj
mirable designs which can be utilized
alike for remodeling and for new ma

riety as to suit almost all occasions and
all materials. The long sleeve with She
deep cuffs is exceedingly charming
for the fancy waists Of simple occas-

ter lengths are equally desirable for the
more dressy blouses, and the shirt
waist model suits the plain tailored
sort. In the illustration the long fancy
sleeve is made of lawn with tucking

The trial Of Greene AMI Gaynor con-
sumed about thirteen and half
weeks. The defendants were charged
with conspiracy to defraud the Govern
ment and embezzlement in connection
with the big Government engineering
works near Savannah. They were first
indicted at Savannah, in 1899. They
Were arrested, but they resisted extra
dition to Georgia, and when decision
was rendered against them they fed
from New York to. Canada. Each for
feited bail to the amount of $4,000.
Measures were taken to secure extra
dition, and there was some hope of a
favorable outcome, when the accused
men fled from Montreal to Quebec,
thus changing the legal jurisdiction.
III May, 1902, detectives kidnapped
them, and, taking them aboard a fast
tug carried them to Montreal, where
it was hoped the measures for extra
dition would be successful. There was
an exciting chase ON the river. Upon
arrival in Montreal Judge Lafontaine
committed the men to JAIL but Judge
Caron, of Quebec, granted a writ of
habeas corpus and Greene and Gaynor
were taken back to that place and set
at liberty
An appeal by this Government to the
Privy Council of England was enter
tained, and in February, 1905, a decree
was handed down in favor of the Uni
ted States. The Lords in Council ad-
vised that tAe two judgments of Judge
Caron at Quebec must be reversed,
the respondents paying the costs of
the proceedings.
Later the men were brought to this
country and their trial at Savannah
was begun.
The prosecution of Greene and Gay
nor has already cost the Government
$150.000 or $2O0,O00 and the end is not
vet, because the defense has the right
of appeal TO the United States Supreme
Court, if any errors ran be shown in
the thirteen-weeks' trial The defend
ants are said to have expended $780,
900.

4 1T is important to this people to
4 grappie with the problems connected
I with the amassing Of enormous for
tunes and the use of those fortunes,
both corporate and individual, in busi-
ness. We should discriminate in the
sharpest way between fortunes well
won and fortunes i'll won; between
those gained as an incident to perform
ing great services to the community as
whole and those gained in evil fash
ion by keeping just within the limits
of mere law honesty OF course no
amount Of charity in spending such
fortunes in any way compensates for
misconduct in making them. AS 4
matter of personal conviction. and
without pretending to discuss the de-
tails or formulate the system, | feel
that we shall intimately have to con-
slider the adoption of some such scheme
as that of a progressive tax on all for
tunes beyond a certain amount either
given in life or devised or bequeathed
upon death to any individual-a tax so
framed as to put it out o. the power of
the owner of one of these enormous
fortunes to hand on more than a cer-
tain amount to any one individual-the
tax, of course to be imposed by the Ma
tional and not the State government.
Such taxation should, of course, be
aimed merely at the inheritance or
transmission in their entirety Of those
fortunes swollen beyond all healthy
limits
During the delivery Of The speech the
Presidents features afforded an inter-
esting study in expressions AT times
he beamed and even laughed outright
with good nature For instance, when
he declared he was certain the country
would soon have a good rate bill he
looked dow at Senator Foraker, only
few feet away, and smiled broadly.
But the Presidents face took on Sc.
we're, almost savage lock, as he de-
nounced the liar in public life as no
better than the thief, and inveighed
against the brutal greed of the have
nots" and the brutal greed of the
"haves."
And It was interesting, also, to watch
the features Of the Senators. jammed
up close to the speaker, AS the Presi-
dent fayed the sensational and UNI
thinking writer's who attack public men
without just cause, there wer3 smiles
of intense satisfaction from tGe Sena-
tors, many OF whom have lately been
targets for the ten-cert magazines.
Whatever disappointment was felt be-
cause of the mildness of the Muck
Rake" feature of the speecr was more
than made up by the surprise caused
by the advocacy of the tax on fortunes.

An exquisite example of the beauty
of lace was seen in window Of large
New York shop. The window was
draped in rich, dark velvet and the
only object In the space was court
gown. Of white satin and q brocade
which might literally have stood
alone. The ground was creamy white
and the large figures were solid silver
and gold thread. The wonderful beau
ty Of the fabric was nearly lost sight
of when the point lace which adorned
the entire front Of the gown was be-
held. There was deep bertha Of the
lace, and a wide drapery down the
front of the waist and skirt. The lace
was the work Of the most skilled hands
and was probably worth the traditional
kings ransom.

CHEATED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

They Must Make Restitution of Sums
Embezzled While Making I1nprovs-
lnents at Savannah Harbor-F ugitivss
For Years-Brought Back From Canada
After Very Bitter Fight.
Savannah, Ga Benjamin D. Greene
nd John F. Gaynor, convicted on
three counts, after their remarkable
fight, of conspiracy to defraud the
United States Government many years
ago in connection with harbor improve
nents here, were sentenced by Judge
Emory Speer to four years each in the
penitentiary the maximum aggregate
term under the law being seventeen
years. But on each was imposed a
maximum fine. $575, ,749, this being the
estimated amount of the embezzlement
If each.
1T is believed that Greene and Cay
nor have enough money to pay their
fines, but it is improbable that they
will do so. The case will be appealed,
and if they are obliged to serve SEN
tence the fine need not be paid if, after
serving thirty days, they make affidavit
to the effect that they have not more
than $50 outside of their homestead
rights.
Judge Speer read the prisoners
caustic lecture for ten minutes before
ae announced the sentence. In the
course Of his remarks he said
1T has been said by a cynical New
Yorker that man with million can
not be convicted Of a crime in Amer
ica. The verdict of this jury may be
expected to dissipate such pessimism."
The prisoners took the sentence
coolly and were returned to jail The
sentence will be executed at Atlanta,
Ga. With Communication for good be-
havior the men will not have to serve
mort than three years.

Mayor of Cincinnati Sorry the City

Cincinnati, Ohio.-There has been
talk over the fact that Mayor Dempsey
did not mention the name of Andrew
Carnegie in his speech formally accept
ing the new Walnut Hills Branch Lii
brary. The other speakers lauded
Carnegie, but the Mayor did not refer
to him. There was some question as
to whether it was an oversight. The
Mayor stated it was not. He said:
Il purposely refrained from any ref
erence to Carnegie, because l wanted
to be perfectly honest in the matter.
have no deep admiration for man
who has made his millions out of the
sweat and blood of the toiling classes,
but who attemr IS TO atone for the OPP
preston by giving away buildings, and
thus advertising himself as a phiIan-
thropist. The place his benefcenee
should have begun was in his work
shop
I'm fact, am inclined to regret that
the great city of Cincinnati did not
build and pay for the branch Libraries
instead of receiving them as charity
from a man who could have no real
sympathy with city Of which he knew
nothing, and in which he had no inter

Springfield, Mo-The lynching by
rope and fire Of the two negroes, Dun
can and Copeland did not complete the
nights work of horror. Those two
black men, protesting their innocence
of the charge of attacking a white girl,
had been hanged from an electric tower
topped by the Goddess Of Liberty, and
fires had been lighted under them be-
fore they We're dead.

Cured just before daylight
The last man put to death was Will
Alien, charged with the killing in Jan

was mobbed and the cringing negro
dragged to the spot where the horror
of few hours before had been per-
petrated.
The better element of the city is in
dignant at the work of the mob, es-
pecially as there is no reason to be-
lieve that the three negroes who We're
lynched were guilty of the crimes for
which they died. Miss Mabel Edmond

said that she could positively identify
the guilty ones if they were brought to
her.

One authority declares that skirts
are to be fraction shortec than during
the winter but those who ought to
know declare that there will be no
change in the length or shape of the
sleeve. We are also told that tailor
mades win be more severe than they
were last year. but that there win be
little difference in the garniture and
effect of the frock for more elaborate
occasions. Sleeves have been given a
great deal of attention the last few
years, for all conturiers appreciate the
fact that this part Of the dress demands
vital attention.
AS a matter Of fact, sleeves can hard
" be improved upon. They are neither
huge horrors nor strained sklmps.
Rather are they charmingly graceful

most becoming The plain coat sleeve
is right in Its way, too, being suitable
