had something to do with her leaving

Detective Hutton, who Is working on
the case, tried to gain some informa-
ton from this young man yesterday
regarding the girls whereabouts, but
is convinced that he does not know
where she is. She was employed at
the Mills Dry Goods store, and while
pretending to work all of last week had
not sI1 owed up at the store at all.

LOST THEIR JOBS.
Railroads Reported to Have Laid OF
$4,000 Men Since Last October

chicago. April lon seventeen
representative railroads of the United
states. constituting one-third of the
mileage of the country, the total num-
per OF employees is 18 per cent smaller
than on June 80, 1907
This statement is based on authori-
tative figures just obtained by the
chicago General Managers associa-
ton for the information Of its mem
Ders The railroads from which re-
ports were received traverse practically
all sections of the country and the
hgures are said by railroad managers
to be fairly typical of railway condi-
tons generally. The percentage Of
men laid off is much the same among
all the lines, running from 5 to 25 per
cent OF the number employed last
June. In one or two instances the
figure Is larger.
The total mileage of the seventeen
railroads amounts to 71.S72 miles. On
June 30, 1907. the number of men
employed on these roads aggregated
58l,11S. At present the number is
476,947, a decrease of 104,766, or IS
per cent. A considerably greater num-
Der than this has actually been laid off
because the number Of employees in last
october was greater than in June, tn
time with which present conditions are
compared.
Eighteen per cent of all the railroa d
employees in the United States last June
30 is 305,000. There were approx
mately 10000 more men employed on
all the railroads in October than In
June. Making allowance for this fact,
the number Of idle employees at pres
emit Is probably in the neighborhood of
| $4,000.

GUIDED BY DREAM.
A Mother Travels 100 Miles to See Son
Hit by an 'L'' Train.

New York, April 1.-Separated from
her son, William G. Cooper by nearly
100 miles, Mrs. Ella Cooper Of Phila-
delphia, dreamed she saw him killed
by a Sixth avenue elevated train. So
vivid was the mothers dream that she
hurried to this city.
Her route across town from the
Pennsylvania railroad ferry lay
through West Twenty-third street BY
a remarkable coincidence, she reached
Seventh avenue few seconds after her
son had been knocked down and serf-
ously injured by an eastbound trolley
car. From the window Of the car in
which she was seated, she recognized
the face of the man lying on the
ground surrounded by a large crowd.
She jumped from the car and rushed
to his side. When he regained con-
seriousness, his mothers face was the
first thing that met his gaze. Believ-
ing her to be in Philadelphia, he could
not account for her presence.
In his dazed condition, the doctors
who responded with the ambulance
from the New York hospital thought
1t best not to tell him OF the psychic
phenomenon which had brought her to
his side. Mrs. Cooper bore up bravely
during the strange reunion, but when
the ambulance drove away, she

just how serious his injuries are the

AMEN CORNER MUST GO.
Demolition of the Fifth Avenue Hotel
Necessitates Another Location.

New York, April -Four plush set
tees which have been in the amen
corner Of the Fifth Avenue hotel for
the last Is years, have been turned
over by the hotel proprietors to the
members Of what is popularity known
as the amen Corner Corporation" At
a meeting of the members Monday, it
is stated, the question of relocating the
famous seats will be considered, their
removal from the Fifth Avenue hotel
having been necessitated by the demo1i-
ton of that structure. The statement
is made that there is not president
for 40 years, governor Of any great
state, a notable United States senator,
a distinguished foreign ambassador or
a renowned American diplomat who
has not occupied at one time or an
other one of those four amen corner
seats.

Take Care Of
Your Complexion
in the Spring


Nine. Millicent Marvin, the noted
specialist in beauty culture, gives
some excellent advice in the April
Delineator, to women whose complex
ions are source of worry owing to
the sun and weather conditions pre-
valent in the spring months. Among
other valuable hints Nine. Marvin
says:
Rubbing the skin once or twice a
day with a ripe tomato Is said to be
most helpful in clearing the complex
ion; lettuce juice has also beneficial
effect
While these simple remedies are per-
haps not generally known or used they
are none the less valuable.
Probably the safest and most sat
isfactOry thing for general use in keep
ing the skin soft and smooth and the
complexion clear and brilliant, is a
simple wash which can be easily pre-
pared at home. The receipt is as fol-
lows:
ounce of Cologne Spirits and four
ounces OF Eppotone. Put the Eppo-
tone in pint of hot water (not boil
ing), and after it is dissolved, strain
and let cool Then add the Rose Wa
ter and Cologne Spirits.
Apply this wash literally every night
and morning to the face, neck and
arms, after thoroughly washing in
warm water, and you will soon have
complexion that will be the envy
and admiration OF every woman you
know.

Grand Saturday in new racing comedy
called "Wildfire." displays the aforetime
singer as a charming and graceful come
dienne. still graciously beautiful and at
tractive. Miss Russell is, Of course. the
heroine of this breezy little play which
savors of the race track. George v. Ho-
bart and George Broadhurst are the au-
pears as Mrs. Henrietta Darlington,
widow who has been left with racing
stable. Unknown to her friends and fam
lily, she keeps the stable going and plans
to enter "Wildfire.' a promising mare for
the stakes of the Ocean Handicap.
Around this central theme the authors
have woven an entertaining story which
is productive Of comedy and sentiment.
The widow is sought by two men, one a
devotee of the race track, and the other
an automobile enthusiast. OF course there
are many. varied complications and some
counter plots, which, however, eventually
fall nearly into the happyending basket
Miss Russelrs performance Of the dash
ing widow is fascinating without being
brilliant as to acting and without being
distinctive. She plays In snappy and
vivacious way, and her impersonation is
marked by flashes of real dramatic skill.
