NEW COLLEGE, SIS, 900.
Request of Il. N. Carson to Orphan
Girls-Girard as Pattern.

Philadelphia was announced
that the win of r. N. Carson, of this
city, who died suddenly in theatre
here last week, provides for So
100000 college for orphan girls, pat
termed after Girard College, in this
city, which is exclusively for boys.
The bequest becomes effective after
the death of the widow, Mrs. Frances
Carson. The institution will be To-
Gated at Flourtown, just over the city
line, in Montgomery County.
The will is almost identical with
that of Stephen Girard, who founded
the largest college of its kind in the
world. Like Mr.. Girard's will, Mr..
Carson's bequest provides that the
institution shall not be controlled by
any religious denomination and that
no religious services shall be held in
the institution that are peculiar or
exclusive to any church.
The college will be open to all poor
white girls both of whose parents are
dead. In the matter of admission
preference is to be given equally to
girls born in Philadelphia or in Mont
gomery County. After that admis-
sions are to be to those born in Penn
sylvania, and, lastly, to those born
elsewhere in the United States. The
age of admission Is between six and
ten years, and of discharge from the
college at eighteen, or earlier II the
trustees deem it for the best interest
of the girls.

Broken Engagement Causes Tragedy
Which Shocks Shamolxin, Pa.

Wnicn SHOCKS SnamOkln, ia.
Shamokin, Pa - This city is
wrought up as rarely ever before by
the murder of William Klinger, a
member of one of the leading families
of Locust Gap, by Miss Lucy Dough-
ton, who was eighteen years old and
leader of the High School sopho-
more class, and who killed herself
with the same revolver with which
she slew young Klinger.
In an examination of Ringers eff
fects the authorities found letter,
which they regard as the key to the
tragedy. 1t was in Miss Doughton's
handwriting, and read as follows:
will, l know you would rather l
would not write, but | must know
what you are going to do. l want you
to marry me. but know you would
prefer to serve time in Sunbury. The
suspense is torturing. l hate you
now as much as l loved you"
Klinger went to the young woman's
home and found her walking in the
yard They talked with each other
a while, when angry words followed
by two pistol shots were heard. The
young woman and her former sweet
heart were found dead within few
feet of each other, each with bullet
wound in the head.
Up to three months ago Klinger,
who was twenty-three years old, had
paid the girl attentions with the view
of matrimony. After their engage
ment he ceased calling on her.

Walking Skirt with Panels.

The skirt that is made with panels
is a favorite among the latest models
and has much to commend it. The
long narrow cores give sIendernesa
to the figure, while there still liz
abundant flare at the lower portion
and there is unusual opportunity af.
forded for effective use of the fash
ionable stripes. This one combines
plain cores with fancy panels and il

in shades of brown and tan, and is

but it will be found appropriate both
for all fashionable suitings and for
the similar materials used for the
odd skirts to be worn with the sepa-
rate coats that are promised such
vogue. If striped materials are chosen
the pleated portions of the panels
would be peculiarly effective cut on
the bias or cross. The use of but
tons makes distinctive feature Of

NoN-UNIoN MECHANICS.
Statement in Reference to the Local
Labor Situation.

The statement was made at labor head
quarters last night that the matter Of the
Importation Of non-union mechanics into
the District by the master builders and
other employers will be brought before
the Central Labor Union tomorrow night.
1t was the opinion of certain labor leaders
that the two central bodes-the Building
Trades Mechanics Council and the Cen
trail Labor Unien-will unite in opposition
to the importation and that they may de-
eide to take drastic steps.
On the other hand. some Of the employ
ers. stated that they have been forced in
self-protection to take the stand they
have, and that they will continue to en-
ploy non-unionists until such time the
origin of the trouble, the. dispute among
the plumbers, is settled.
The report was current last night that
a number Of mechanics who are not affll-
lated with organized labor will arrive in
this city tomorrow and go to work on
certain buildings where there are vacan-
cies and others on which trouble is ex-
Dected.
