The Tribune is in receipt of a copy
of the annual report of the Albany
Mutual Building association.
The total receipts were Sill, 5OS.27

The itimized account of expenses
shows that this vast volume of bust,
Less. a~ggregating more than 100000
received, cared for and paid out again,
was done with an outlay of $221.25,
which is less than one-ffth of one per
cent.
II we could all conduct Il business
in that way it would be no trouble to
make money. In the newspaper bust,
ness the ratio of expenses to revenues
is usually as 100 to 100, and some
don't get off that well.
The success of every mutual build
ing loan association is a minimum of
expenses with a maximum of careful
judgment and integrity in managing
the company's affairs. Cheyenne and
Laramie are both fortunate in having

Long white tulle or feather boas can
be made up to date by cutting when
just long enough to encircle the neck
of broad black velvet ribbon with long
fioppy loops and ends. The box-plait-
ed ruches of four layers of box plaits
divided in half by an inch band of
ribbon to match the suit are very
fetching and becoming.
All the newest collars have rufies
at the top and bottom. A pretty one
of plain linen has a futed ruffle also

another rufle twice this width fitting
over the blouse front and back. The
more elaborate dressy collars of chif-
fon have tulle ruffles, with loops of
baby ribbon set at regular intervals
Buttons ere a most favored trim
ming. They are used not only upon
tailored gowns and summer frocks,
but upon the more elaborate evening
costumes. They are oft-times placed
the full length Of the clinging skirt at
one side, in the center front or in the
center back This line of buttons is
continuation of the button TRIM
ming upon the bodice portion, and is
one of the little tricks employed to
give the much-desired Longtime" eff
feet.
One of the prettiest fashions of a
year of pretty fashions is that of
threading the skirt of frock with
ribbons at founce depth. Instead of
using the beading which was formerly
employed in carrying out this idea,
this present mode demands that ac-
tual Sits be cut in the dress. These
are buttonholed and the ribbon or vel
vet Is then passed in and out. The
fullness of the skirt is drawn in to
suit the figure of the wearer, result
which is the reason for describing the
less troublesome beading The ends of
the ribbon are either tied at intervals
or are all looped at the left side.

LOVE IDEA BREAKS WILL.
School Denied $51 900 for Teaching
Swedenborg on Conjugal State.

School Denied $51 900 for Teaching
Swedenborg on Conjugal State.
Any bequest in Pennsylvania to any
institution that teaches conjugal love
after the tenets of Swedenborg is void.
So decided Judge Smith of the Lancas-
ter County Orphans Court at Lancas-
ter, Pa, in the opinion distributing
$51, 1855 in the estate of Frederick j..
Kramph. The rules of conduct enun-
ciated in Swedenborg's book, Judge
Smith declares, derogate the statutes
of the commonwealth and are in con-
fict with public policy. Concluding
Judge Smith says:
while it appears that the Academy
of the New Church is such a school as
was intended by the testator to receive
the residue of his estate, yet it also
appears that the testator's intention
was not proper one. While one in a
lifetime may donate his property as
he pleases, may choose his God or gods
according to the dictates of his own
conscience, may adopt any religion
which is agreeable to him, and may
create his own form Of worship, yet he
may not contribute his estate to take
effect after death for the nurture Of
objects outside the limits of social en-
tity.'
For that reason the bequest Is de-
cided to be void. and, it falling, the es-
tate will be distributed under the in
testate laws of the State"
There were three claimants to the
bequest in question, two rival factions
in the Swedenborgian church and the
heirs of the estate. The court award
ed the entire estate to the heirs.
Mr. Kramph died fifty years ago, but
his real estate was only recently sold.
In his will he gave the residue of his
estate for the endowing of university
of the New Jerusalem to be founded In
the consolidated city of Philadelphia
to teach the doctrines laid down in the
writings of Swedenborg. The Academy
Of the New Church with a university
at Bryn Athyn, near Philadelphia,
proved its right to the bequest under
the will.
The one complaint against his teach
ing is on conjugal lere, and the court
devotes its opinion 10 that feature and
says the teaching is in conflict with
the laws of the State and contrary to
accepted public policy.

When should 8 Girl Marry.

People in love do not reason. Here

| Of a girl can justify their Office by do
| ing the thinking she is neglecting for
dreaming always more pleasant pas
| time to one in love.
1t is sacriiege for an ignorant girl
| of 16 to become a wife. Even worse
| for her to assume the obligations and
responsibility of motherhood. The ay-
erage girl of is is too young to marry.
immature in body and mind Far bet
ter to wait than TO risk the happiness
Of, two lives.
| Late marriages are usually made out
of respect and friendship, the founda-
tons of love, but they miss the thrill
| and passion of love itself. Such mar
riages provide home and congenial
companionship for the man and woman
who have outlived their first youth
with its buried emotions and tender
memories, and makes for them sort
Of Indian summer of happiness. The
| ideal time Of life for woman to marry
| is from twenty to thirty-five. For a
man, from twenty-five to forty-fiye.
Society women do not marry young,
and who can find an "old'' woman of
thirty in society? They are plentiful
enough among the 10000, where women
marry at sixteen, seventeen and eight
cen, and settle down to humdrum ex-
istence filed with dishes to wash and
babies to care for.
Home ought not &c be dull place.
| It ought to be the most interesting spot
| In the world to the wife and mother.
But it is impossible for a girl who has
not attained her physical and mental
growth to grasp the true significance
and meaning of the home or TO bear its
burdens without deteriorating.
Some of the happiest marriages are
those between persons over twenty five
and under thirty-five. They have seen
life anu met interesting people, they
are sure of themselves, and no "af-
fnity," were she equipped with mag
netic batteries from head to foot could
separate them They are married for

Shall the gown be made plain or shall
it be much trimmed? Both extremes
are sought by those who go in for pretty
dresses. Should one be unable to de
eide upon style, there is the popular
plated or killed skirt made ankle
length with a fitted hip yoke. And there
is the cutaway coat which buttons with
two or three buttons and is cut away
to show the waist and belt This style
is very fashionable.

A STRANGE SENTENCE.
Punishment for Murder that Wa
More Cruel than Death.

Punishment for Murder that Was
More Cruel than Death.
In 1901 man died in the Catskills
who had been condemned by one Of
the strangest sentences on record.
Ralph Sutherland was born in 17O1 and
lived in stone house near Leeds. He
was man of violent temper and mo-
rose disposition. Stunned by his neigh
bors and generally disliked. Not be-
ing able to get an American servant,
he imported a Scotehwoman, and, ac-
cording to the usages of the times, vir-
tually held her in bondage until her
passage money had been refunded.
Unable to endure any longer the
raging temper of her master, the girl
ran away. Immediately upon discover
ing her absence the man set off in an
angry chase upon his horse and soon
overlook her. The poor woman never
reached the house alive, and Suther-
land was indicted and arrested on the
charge of murder.
At the trial he tried to prove that
his horse had taken fright, run away,
pitched him out of the saddle and
dashed the girl to death upon the
rocks, but the jury did not accept the
defense. and Sutherland was sentenced
to die upon the scaffold.
Then came the plea of the INSULT
cheney of circumstantial evidence and
the efforts of influential relatives.
These so worked upon the court that
the Judge delayed the sentence of death
until the prisoner should be 80 years
old.
1t was ordered that the culprit
should be released upon his own re
cognizance and that, pending the final
execution of his sentence, he should
keep a hangman's moose about his neck
! and show himself before the judges of
CatskilI once year to prove that he
wore his badge Of -infamy and kept
