ELIZABETH LOVING
TELLS A SAD STORY
sWEARs SHE WAS DRUoGED AND
ATTACKED BY ESTES.
CONFESSED TO FATHER
Jury Hears the Tale That, II Is Al,
legged, Drove the Parent
to XIII Young
o. Man.

Houston, Va, June 26,-Between
sitting sobs, Miss Elizabeth Loving,
who has occupied the center of the
stage in the trial of her father, Judge
William G. Loving, for the murder OF
Theodore Estes, told on the witness
stand here Tuesday her story of her
alleged ruin by the young man whom
her parent shot down. ~.
1t was the same story she said she
told to her father on the morning of
the tragedy, and which resulted In his
hunting down and Staying the man
whom she charged with perpetrating
the deed. Estes, she said, had given
her drink of whisky from flask he
had In his pocket while they were out
buggy riding on the afternoon prior
to the killing. After taking the drink
she declared that she Immediately be-
gan to feel dizzy and her head
"spinned around" as if she had been
given some powerful drug. In this
condition, and despite her protests,
she declared, her escort drove her
over an unfrequented road and at
tackled her. She declared she re-
called nothing more until she re-
gained her senses while in bed late
that night at the home of County
Clerk E. L. Kidd, where she had been
visiting Miss Kidd.
Told Her Father the Story.
She testified that on the following
morning, when her father asked her
for the cause of her being brought>to
the home of Mr.. Kidd unconscious
and drugged she related to him on
bended knees the same statement she
made in court 1t was this recital,
declared the defense. which so af-
fected the mind of Judge Loving that
it impelled him to commit a crime
which, according to his statement,
could have been prevented by no
power except God Almighty"
Whether the story told by the 49,
year-old girl can be torn to pieces and
disproved by the prosecution remains
to be seen. They claim that it can
be shown that the outrage laid at the
door of the man whose lips are sealed
forever was impossible. The rebuttal
evidence by the prosecution will prob
ably be the most important, though
not the most sensational feature of
the case. A legal battle on the point
of admissibility of evidence will be
waged, as the defense has already an
nounced that it's case is nearing an
end.
Thinks Loving Was Insane.
DR.. William Tunstall, of Loving
stone, who saw Judge Loving before
and after the killing, testified that he
thought Loving committed the crime
while insane. He based his theory
practically on the fact that Loving
failed to speak to him in passing be-
fore the killing and afterward; that
Lovings head hung low and he was
pale" and also on his personal
knowledge of Loving, who, he said,
went on frequent debauches, ending
in delirium tremens.
DR.. H. B. Melvin of Halifax testified
that he had passed upon the mental
condition of many people and that
continued drink brought ca excite
ment which often ended in insanity.

MADAME N0RDICA TELLS
HOW TO MAKE A PROGRAM.

The Woman's Home Companion has
begun a series OF articles devoted to the
best music of living composers. In the
January article, Madame Lillian Nordica
writes. in regard to the making Of a pro-
gram;
I'm making a program, the first thing
of importance to be considered, after a
careful selection of the numbers, Is the
securing of contrast and variety in the
order of their arrangement. The grave.
the gay, the serious, the joyous. should
always be placed in contrast. for con-
tinuity Of mood in expression mars or de-
stroys the effect of even the best songs
For instance. one or ttg7 quieter songs
should be followed by brighter and more
Joyous ones, incidentally exercising care
that several numbers in the same time
two-four or three-four, as the case may
be-do not follow each other, for that
leads only to monotony, the very thing we
desire to avoid. It Is well to begin a
recital with something along simple lines,
and of a character general in It's appeal.
The program as a whole should gradually
increase in b%rilliancy as it progresses, in
Producing the more effective numbers
toward the close. To follow any other
course would produce an anti-climax."

THE SHORT SKIRT.

Some of the neatest walking skirts are
set in all-round pleats from the waist, and
II deftly shaped. do not look at all clumsy,
the front one being a fiat ~box-pleat.
A touch Of smartness is given by a band
of stitched taffeta at the hem, though this,
of course, would be out OF place for rough
and-ready" wear. Some cloth gowns are
made in this style. IN they certainly COM
bine usefulness and prettiness in no small
degree. The fact is we have grown SC
much accustomed to the long skirt that we
ave forgotten the really graceful poten-
t~ialities of the short one-whose praises al
this season cannot he sung too loudly from
the strictly practical point of view.
As a matter of fact, some women con-
trive to look very graceful in a short skirt
Then we are apt to forget how terribly the
difficulty OF holding it up well handicaps
the wearer of a long gown in the streets
for not one woman In a thousand knows
how to hold 1t up with that wonderful
adroitness which is an art of the finest.
Long may the short skirt reign!

CONCERNING HAND MADE
FRENCH LINGERIE.

The handmade French lingerie grows
daintier and lovelier each season. The
general effect Is quite simple, but the
labor and time expended on 1t are what
causes it's soaring prices.
Every stitch is taken by hand and each
seam is jointed by the most exquisite
beading.
The trimming is usually the finest Ger
man Val. and quite often real lace is used
instead Of the limitations.
Most of this underwear Is made up in
c%obwebby handkerchief liner and in adj
dition to thread tucks, lace, insertion and
delicate hand embroidery is lavished upon
each garment.
The greatest care Is taken to have the
fit perfect. Often drawers, petticoat and
underwaist are In one piece, or what is
more usual, the last two are made into
one garment from which all fullness
around the waist and hips is eliminaed,
and the drawers are cut n fitted with
out a wrinkle.
One charming bridal set of sheerest
handkerchief linen had the new skirt
drawers that fitted perfectly around the
hips, the fullness at the back being
brought into tucks about t-hree-quarters
of an inch wide, says the Philadelphia
Press.
Rufies OF lace edged the bottom, each
leg widening until it was almost as full
as a short skirt. Above the lower edge
two rows of insertion were arranged in
scalfops, the points of the upper row
being finished in embroidered bowknots
and those of the lower in tiny medalliions
of the Val. lace. Between the insertion
were sprays of exquisitely embroidered
daisies and forget-me-nots.
The chemise was made in
design, buttoning in the back and drawn
in at the waist line by satin ribbo run
through embroidered eyelets. A slight
fullness was given to the skirt of the
chelnise at the back by tucks about two
inches long, grouped in a band two inches
wide just below the beading.
The neck and armholes were finished
In inch-wide Valenciennes, drawn in NV
small oval eyelets, and the twelve-inch

There is nothing which shows a per-
sons breeding more than the manners
they practise, and yet some people
who consider their breeding above
question are often very lacking in
good manners. Whether one be gently
born or of the middle class all can
practise good manners, and because
n is gently born is no a why
one should be excused for a lack Of
politeness or an exhibition of glaring
rudeness to those whom they consider
interiors.
Being a woman 1 dislike to say
things that will reflect on womankind,
but l must acknowledge that women
are often more lacking in common
politeness than men. AS a rule men
will make an effort to show extra con-
sideration to those out Of their sphere,
while women seem to him it the
proper thing to be curt to servants
and persons whom they consider be-
meath them. A may be gra-
ciousness itself today. She will say

thing-are made to suffer by her rude
ness and temper.

favor of a young woman in the suburbs

me the information I required,

CHINESE COAL MINES.
Anthracite Taken from the Beds by
Primitive Methods.

The Valley of Poshan, in which are
the district towns of Poshan and Tue
chaun, is about 20 miles long and from
200 yards to nearly six miles broad,
says a consular report. The whole Of
this valley is a vast bed of coal, sit
uated at a deeper level In the middle
and appearing on the surface at the
edges, where it has been forced up
ward by the pressure against the lime
stone of the surrounding hills. AT the
northwest exit of the valley the coal
bed Is interrupted by a chain of lime
stone hills, but it commences again
n continues in undiminished GUAM
tity in a westerly direction for another
twenty miles between the main range
on the south and the Changtaishan on
the north. In this valley and it's
branches are situated the mining
centres of Puchi and Puchuan.
The best quality of anthracite coal
is found near the surface in the Hais-
ham Valley, and it is on account of
this coal that Poshan has been famous.
1t is principally used>in manufacture
ing coke, which, owing to its lightness,
can be. transported farther by wheel
barrow than the heavier coal Upfor-
tunately the Chinese have of late been
unable to cope with the water in the
shaft, and most of the mines have
been obliged to suspend work. The
method of removing water is extreme
ly primitive. A basket woven of will
low twigs is passed from one mar to
another, and is then emptied into a
ditch at the mouth of the coal pit.
AS the galleries are low and narrow
about three to four feet in diameter
the miners are obliged to work in a
sitting position, and during the time
that water is being removed from the
mine other work has to cease. The side
galleries are short M are shored up
with millet stalks supported by short
wooden props. In a country devoid of
timber the cost Of snoring up extensive
galleries, and in addition the difficulty
OF removing the water is so consider
able that the Chinese miners are pre-
vented from going far into a seam of
coal. The cost of timber may also ac-
count for the small diameter of the
galleries, which, if enlarged, would
need extra support. The coal, loaded
on low wooden trucks, with iron
wheels, manufactured at Chinlingchen
from Tienshan iron, is run along the
galleries on wooden rails until the bot
tom of the main shaft is reached, and
is Their hoisted by wicker baskets at
tached to a pulley on a framework
built over the mouth of the pit, pulled
by Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

INSANITY CAUSES TRAMPS.
Weary willies Affected by Peculiar
Dementia, Says Reitman.

That insanity is not only prevalent
among a great majority of tramps, no.
boes and buns, but that In a great many
cases 1t is the direct cause Of their en-
trance into that body of society, is the
opinion expressed by DR.. Ben L. Reit-
man, physician and ex-tramp of inter-
national reputation.
Said DR.. Reitman: "In the great body
Of tramps throughout this whole country
fully so per cent. are the victims of
insanity in one form or another. These
forms Of insanity are especially common
in persons afflicted with hysteria, cpl
lepsy, paranoia and other forms of ner-
vous diseases. Instead Of having fits of
epilepsy, imaginary pains of hysteria or
the delusion of being a Napoleon in
~paranoia, the itinerant vagrant has
'fuges.' The most common form Of
'fuge' is A~mbulatory A~utomatism.
I'm this condition the patient is car
ried away by an irresistible impulse. He
leaves his home and makes an excursion
or journey justified by no reasonable mo-
tive. The attack ended, the subject finds
himself on an unknown road or In a
strange town and Is unable to explain his
flight from home and friends. He re
turns home, but sooner or later a new
attack provokes a new escapade. Some
of these cases of Ambulatory Automa-
tism travel as gentlemen in frst-ciass
style; many as itinerant Migrants.
Another form of insanity very fire.
quent Is called dromania. The patient
has periodic spells Of an insane desire
lusions that he must make a trip some
where; that someone is driving him away
from his home; that he has some great
mission to fulfill.
IA great majority of the tramps now
thrown into jails are boys under 20 years
OF age. They are undoubtedly to a great
extent suffering from some form of mental
proper treatment would probably erect
a permanent cure. We owe 1t 10 them
and we also owe II to society al large
