Blouse or Shirt Waist.

The tailored shirt waist is one of
the standbys of the wardrobe that is
always in demand no matter how
many more fancy blouses may or
may not be added to the list. This
one is among the latest and most de-
sirable and is equally we'll adapted
to linen, to cotton, to silk and to wool
waistings, while it can be made eth
err ysth or without the yoke AS IL
Illustrated. however, the material is
white linen with trimming of pearl
buttons, the effect being one of ex-
ceeding smartness as well as dainti-
ness. The yoke is eminently attrac-
tive in effect and is very generally
becoming, but as all the pleats ex-
tend to the shoulders it is optional.
Taffeta and flannel are both useful
so made and buttons can also be as
simple or as handsome as one may
like, while the model suits the entire
dress and the separate waist equal
ly well, so that it really fills a great
many needs.
There is fitted lining, which can
be used or omitted as liked, while
the waist itself consists of fronts and
the back. The back is tucked to give
tapering lines to the figure and the
fronts are laid in hens at their front
edges and in box pleat at each side

WILLIAM WHITLEY shot
London's Universal Proyider
Murdered in His Store.
Killed by a Man Calling Himself His
Son, Who Afterward Turned
Revolver on Himself.

London. William Whitley, known
as 1.-THE Universal Provider," who es-
tablished the great department store
in Westbourne Grove, the first of it's
kind in London, was shot dead by an
unidentified man, who afterward at
|. tempted to commit suicide.
Mr.. Whiteley was in his store when
the man, who was well dressed, en-
tered and insisted on seeing him.
The two men had heated interview,
which ended by Mr.. Whitley threat
ening to call the police. AS he turned
to re-enter his Office his assailant
fred twice from revolver into the
: back of Mr. Whiteley's head and
then shot himself in the forehead,
falling across his victim s body.
The store was full of customers,
who were thrown into panic. The
police had some trouble in restoring
order. They cleared fle place and
closed the doors.
The murderer is about thirty-five
years old. He gives the name of
Cecil Whitley. He is now lying in
hospital in a hopeless condition
When asked about the affair he said:
II shot my father"
Two sons of Mr.. Whitley who
have seen the murderer declare. that
they do not know him, and he is
stranger to the entire Whitley fam
lily
William Whitley, by birth York
shireman, has been for years one of
the most prominent merchants in
London. The Whitley store is one
of the recognized show places of
Great Britain's capital.
Whitley is said to have been the
originator of the department store
idea. In his own vast establishment
almost every conceivable sort of arti-
Gle could be purchased He was
dubbed in fun 1.-THE Universal Provid-
err" and came very near to meriting
the sobriquet. His employees num-
bered many hundreds.
In 1851 Whiteley went to London
with $50 as his sole wealth. He
worked while in a store, saved his
money and, borrowing enough from
his friends to make up a total capital
of $500, he opened business in West
bourne Grove in 1868.
His only employees were two girl
assistants and an errand boy. The
store has grown until now William
Whiteley, Ltd, has capital of more
than $4,500,000 The elder White
ley was president, and his son, Will
lam, Jr., is secretary of the company.
The London police have identified
the murderer of William Whiteley as
Horace George Rayner. The doctors
think that the assassin will recover.

A Hemstitched Guimpe.

An easy and very quick way to
make quite an elaborate guimpe
yoke is to draw the thread sufficient
ly to form sixteenth of an inch wide
stripes at inch and half distances.
Hemstitch both edges and embroider
some pretty simple vine, or else
featherstitch in vine effect on the
parts between. The drawn lines can
end at graduated distances to form
the yoke as exactly as possible the
size to show above the dress edge,
and thus avoid any extra or wasted
work.

COURT WORLDS NEWS CENTRE.
Phenomenal Arrangements to Send
Trial Reports All Over the World.

70 AL ONCA WIZ " OAA0
New York City.-Neverb before have
such elaborate and extraordinary ar
rangements been made to get news
from courtroom as in the Thaw
trial. 1t is literally true that Justice
Fitzgerald's courtroom is at present
the news centre of the world.
Two great cables swung down from
the dome of the Criminal Courts
building to the tables of the telegra-
piers, which we're massed around the
east and north sides of the white
marbled ventilating shaft which rises
six feet above the level of the main
floor. These cables are but a few
feet from the judges bench.
Each of these cables contained
nineteen wires, every one of them
direct" to flash the news of the
trial word for word to every centre
of the country and abroad. One Lon
don paper to serve its subscribers had
two wires. The Western Union and
the Postal shared the arrangements.
Besides these operators dozens
were located in any and every nook
and Granny in the big building which
could be devoted to the use OF the
wire service.
In different rooms adjoining the
courtroom score of special tele-
phone booths were set up for the use
of newspapers. One Pittsburg paper
had through telephone for its sle-
cial use to send the news OF tue
trial to the former home of Harry
Thaw
More than hundred messengers
and telegraph boys were kept con-
stantly on the run carrying messages
and copy from the courtroom.
Although 200 reporters, artists and
special correspondents representing
newspapers in the United States.
Canada, England and France sought
admittance to write about the trial,
there was room for only seventy of
them

NINE EXPLOSION KILLS 12.
Cave-In Follows, and 100 Others
Have. Narrow Escape.


Weston, W. Va.-Five Americans
and seven Italians are known to be
dead as the result of an explosion of
fire damp in the Pennsylvania Com
pany mine at Lorentz, w. Va, near
Buchanan Immediately after the
explosion the mine caved in and 100
miners narrowly escaped entomb-
ment.
The explosion occurred just as the
day force was leaving the mine. The
mine elevator had started for the
top, carrying about twenty men, and
almost eighty were still at the bot
tom of the shaft. Almost suffocated.
they huddled closely together and
cried up the shaft for assistance.
The elevator continued to make
trips until all the men at the bottom
of the shaft were brought to the sur
face.
The bodies of the men who were
killed were found about 100 feet back
in the mine. Apparently they had
been overcome with gas, as their bod
les were not burned.
