SINGULAR coincidenca.

In connection with the death of DR..
Wilkinson, bishop of st. Andrews, a
singular coincidence is established,
says an English exchange. 1t is re-
markable fact that all the predeces-
sors of DR.. Stubs as bishops of Truro
have died suddenly. The first occu-
pant of the See, DR.. Benson, after
ward archbishop Of Canterbury, was
taken i'll while at service at Harvard
en- church, and died in few minutes;
DR.. Wilkinson was second bishop of
Truro, and he died during a meeting
at Edinburgh; and DR.. Gott, the third
bishop, died suddenly while giving di-
rections to his chaplain in his study at
Trenython.

ON DRESS

This is the season of the party dress,
and we offer below a suggestion in
our illustration of one which for orig
inality of design and for simple grace
it would be hard to beat. 1t is made of
white silk trimmed with silver sequins
and fine white lace and insertion. A
large bunch of pale pink roses at the
waist and a pale pink ribbon in the
hair give the touch of color necessary
to complete the effect.
Chiffon is again in great favor for
evening frocks, all the prettiest of
them being made in this material. A
tanned with bands of velvet, cut on the
cross.
There is nothing, perhaps more fas-
cinating in the feminine wardrobe
than teagowns and the still more in
formal negligees worn in deshabille.
Created from almost every conceiv-
able fabric, from rich brocades to
chiffon and lace, in every color and
known shade of color, trimmed with
everything possible from fur to tulle,
there is no end to the expression of
individual taste in these robes worn
in the privacy of ones own home, and
therefore allowing more scope for per-
sonal preferences.
In the recent trousseaus of the late
autumn and early winter brides there
have been some especially beautiful
examples of these indoor garments.
One In supple scarlet panne velvet
trimmed with ermine, and another in
emerald green edged with mink, and a
third in white lace and turquoise blue
satin with touch of black caracul,
are bit unique, but nevertheless de-
cidedly effective on chill days, when

bers street. who meant to go to Eliza
beth early this morning and went to
bed instead, his sleeping quarters be-

what worse for wear, ready to come
right In as soon Is the door was opened.

out to get a policeman. BY the time
the doctor and the policeman returned
Fine had remove his outer garments
and was preparing for a good rest.
The prisoner was asked by the judge
if he had been drinking. He declared
that he had not. and accounted
for the circumstance by say
ing that he had not had any
money for three days. When asked
why he had gone to the doctors house
he said that 1t might be because he
was mixed up, as he had intended to go
to Elizabeth.
DR.. Loeb said unoficially that he did
not think the mans mind was quite
right, so he was held for examination
as to his sanity.

CARNEGIE ANSWERS ATTACK OF R. T.
CRANE ON TECHNICAL EDUCATION

Pittsburg, Pa, Jan. 13.-In a letter
given out yesterday Andrew Carnegie
replies to Richard T. Crane, the Chi
cago millionaire who, in a recent
speech in Chicago, declared Mr.. Car
negie might as well have thrown into
the lake the s12,O0O,0O0 with which
he built and endowed the Carnegie
technical schools in this city.
In his letter Mr.. Carnegie says:
Dear Mr.. Crane: l have little time
to devote to the defense of technical
education. / do not think it needs
any. 1t is speaking for itself, and
will speak for ITSELF and even you
will be satisfied by and by that we
are on the right path. You asked me
four questions.
"To the first l answer that when |
started in business did not know OF
one technically educated mechanic
but several families in Pittsburg were

tive and he has made a great success
and is a partner now in one of the
leading firms for special steels. l do
not believe that he would have achiev-
ed this so rapidly had it not been for
his superior education. If | were in
business today the young man whom
would take into any service would
be the most highly educated mechanic.
"This answers all four of your
questions, and l should like to ask
you one in return. The apprentice
system is thing of the past. What
do you propose as substitute The
best one. and the one better than the
original, is to give the instruction to
