With the early spring weather. when
fur coats and fur-llned wraps are put |
aside. the three-piece tailor-made costume
springs into prominence once more This
season II would seem as though the tailors
had been trying to improve upon their
winter reputation for elaboration. for all
of the new models are trimmed after the
most complicated fashions
The materials in themselves are such
that their clever manipulation leads to
trimming effects that demand the highest
cnss OF skill in handling. Stripes, checks
and palds-those latter chiefly of the
nondescrlpt and broken varieties - are
mostly In favor, and there Is no limit,
save that set by the ingenuity OF the de-
signs to the trimming effects that can be
wrought In the use of the material alone,
lthout any extraneous help from braids,
velyets and other trimming novelties.
In the coat and skirt suit, which flour
ishes nightly In spite Of the vogue OF the
separate wrap on the other side OF the
ocean, some charming devices are set forth
In which this appearance Of an elaborate
trimming is effected in the use of the ma

81 WORKERS
HIT BY MACHINE
CAUSE FOR ALARM TO GLASS
sLoWERs BECAUSE or NEW
INVENTION,

PrTTsBURG, July 17.-sGet busy
and discover a plan to meet the win.
dow glass making machine on It's on
wsrd COURSE or get out Of the bust,
ness is in a nutshell the word that
is being passed down the line to the
window glass workers, by their ON.
rets.
That there is cause for alarm Is
shown by the fact that during the last
fire, 1872 machines, each one Of which
displaces 10 hand worlmen, produced
100000 5o.foot boxes. or almost one
half Of the entire window glass OUT
put Of the country.
Every machine in use in this coun-
try is operated by the American Win
dow Glass Company. The company
employs no member Of the militant un.
ion Of window glass workers, the
Amalgamated Association, with head
quarters in Cleveland, Ohio. All the
men in this union are employed by the
independent or hapd-o operating manu-.
iacturers.
Conflict in both production and
prices, therefore, has been the rule for
some time between the machine aud.
aand-operatlng producers. Up until
the last two fires the Independent man,
;ufacturers have had the best Of the
battle, due to the fact that while the
machine would produce the smaller
sizes satisfactorily; twas lamentablss
weak when u the large dou.
But allis different now After many
experiments, the machine has been
perfected and all sizes are produced
in good quality. The result was last
year, that the machine.made product
was the dominating factor in the mar.
ket. The workers were, therefore,
hit both coming and going. Displaced
by the machine their glass, made in
Independent factories, was thrown
aside for the product of the iron man.
Hence the ukase from their leaders.

WHEELING WOMAN AGAIN GETS
POSSESSION OF HER SHIN.
INC sPARkLERs.

WASHINGTON, Pa July 17.-Bes.
sic criswill Burton, "the Diamond
Queen, lis in jail here on charge Of
stealing the same diamonds which
she was alleged to have stolen from
Harry HIllman in Wheeling, and for
which charge she was acquitted by an
Ohio county jury. This time she is
accused Of stealing about $1,000 worth
Of the same gems from Charles E. Gil
more, a wealthy grocer of West WASH
ington.
Since her acquittal in Wheeling, Bes-
sic has been. living In Washington,
making her home with Mary Fomp;
klns on West Chestnut street. Gilmore
has been paying her considerable at.
tentlon during her residence here and
she has in no way discouraged him.
When Bessie left Wheeling she did
not bring the Tlllman sparklers with
her, but left them with her lawyers rs
security for her fees. After her friend.
ship for Gilmore had reached the
proper point she broacaed the subject
to redeem the gems. Yesterday Bessie,
Mrs Toupistns aand Gilmore to
Wheeling, where Gilmore put up 1850
I
in cash and secured the diamonds. The
three returned to Washington in the
afternoon at 2:SO o'clock and had sup.
per together at the home Of Mrs.
Tompklns. Gilmore went out on the
porch for not over five minutes and
when he returned into the house Bes-
sic was gone and SO were the dla.
monds.
Gilmore at once notified the officers,
who watched the depots to see that
the woman did not get out of town.
They were right in their suspicious
that Bessie would try to leave by rail,
for Just as the 1882 Baltimore and
Ohio train for Wheeling pulled in,
Bessie appeared. A plain clothes man
placed her under arrest and took her
to the jail. She was searched, but
did not have the missing diamonds.
Bessie said Gilmore would never get
them; that she had placed them where
he never would find them and that be-
fore he should have them she would
throw them in the river.
When told that she would have to
go to jail, she replied, "I don't give a
d-n. I've been in Jail before" Her
hearing will be had to-day.

KEIEFERV!LL NOT

NO CAUSE KNOWN YET FOR De.
sERTloN OF FAMILY QUAR-. 4
{ TER or AycErdTgRX AGO. :

cLARINGToN, o., July II. - The
story about Keefer coming back to the
wife he deserted 25 years ago, when
he was supposed to have been drown.
ed in the scloto-Lomas disaster, at
tracted much attention here, where
few knew of the return of Mr.. Keefer.
His name is Henry instead Of Thomas,
as the informant gave 1t.
Keefer turned up near Woodsfeld on
the Fourth of July, 25 years to the
day after he disappeared, and has
been working in the oil fields east Of
Woodsfield until he came here Mon
day.
Keefer has informed his wife and
son that he was not on the scioto, as
was supposed, but II he told them why
he left they have not repeated it.
Nothing is known outside his family
as to why he left, and they refuse to
talk. He has told nothing as to where
he went or what he did during the 25
years absence, further than to say
that he has been all over the world.
Dixon, the second husband of Keef-
er's wife, did not leave town, as he
said he was going to do. and was here
today. He did not go near his old
home, however, and says that he will
leave forever.
