BOYCE AWAITS COURT SENTENCE
Shortage In His Keeping of Brothers Estate Has
 Been Made Good
LOST ALL IN WALL STREET

William G. Boyce who formerly con- ducted a blacksmith shop on State street, between Lee and Clinton ave- nue. pleaded guilty in the Superior court yesterday to embedding the funds of the estate of his brother, Albert Boyce, while acting as executor.
 Judge Edwin B. Gager deferred sen tence until Monday. desiring to fur ther consider the matter before pass ing on it.. Since Boyce's arrest a few | months ago. the shortages in his ac- counts to the heirs have been made up. The full story of Boyce's arrest in New York State and his return to this city with Detective Cronin- was told in the Farmer at the time of the ar rest. When Boyce's brother died he left a widow and son. and an estate valued at about $10,000. The estate was partially in securities and the rest ill cash. The securities included 15o
 shares of T.. s. Steel. common; 200 shares of Chicago Terminal Co.,: and 50 shares U. s. Steel, preferred. In
 cash there was $2,1o0. The will direct
 ed that the proceeds be, distributed be-
 tween the widow and son, the exc cu-
 tor to sell the stocks at his own dis
 cretion. Shortly after his brothers
 death, Boyce sold the common stock
 of the U. s. Steel and the Chicago
 Terminal Go. stock and distributed the
 proceeds and cash on hand at the
 death. the accounting showing that
 s7,460 was distributed As is the usual
 custom there was slight delay in the
 final settlement. of, the estate. In the
 interim Boyce went to New York and fell in with some Wall Street sharps. There Boyce was induced to part with his preferred U. S. Steel stock and
 with the proceeds invest in other stock on margin. The upshot of it all was that Boyce lost everything. and could
 not make the final accounting.
 After a time. the widow who resided with her father in Long Island. insist
 ed upon settlement. and not finding Bovce in this city placed the matter in the hands of the police. James Boyce. a brother of the accused, came on from the West and promised to make good the deficiency before any action had been made against his brother After Williams arrest, his two sisters and brother, James stated that they would stand for the short age. Later the two sisters backed out, as they heard the widow would not prosecute. so that in the end brother James paved up the shortage. some thing like ss20O0. Judge Edward K. Nicholson made a strong plea for 1eni- ency for his client. stating that the estate had not lost anything, that there was no shortage or dedication, although there was at the time of the arrest He did not want MT. Boyce to go uupunished but did not want to see him go to states prison.

 Constantinople. Sept 1S.--A tobacco combine that will control the marke< in Turkish and Egyptian tobaccos and that will have a capital of more than $2o,00O, ,0OO, is being organized here. ac- cording to information that leaked out today.
 The details are being kept secret but it is known that Fakray Bey, a prominent Cairo lawyer, is promoting the organization. Fakray is the son of Sir Hussein Fakray Pasha, who for 30 years has held different portfolios in the Egyptian cabinet and has act ed on several occasions as regent in the absence of the Khedive His fa- ther's prominence leads to the belief that the combine will be backed by the Egyptian government
 The scheme, also, has strong finan- cial backing in London and it seems that English capitalists will eventually control the enterprise,

WHY HE LEFT THE MINISTRY.

"I could not remain minister and be honest''-those are the words of a young man. who only three years be- fore had attained the dearest wish of his heart,-to be a minister of the Gospel. He had struggled through years of hardship and privation to ob- tain a theological education. and he entered the ministry with the highest spiritual ideals. backed with the sound common sense and kindly tolerance of the man of trained intellect. He loved his work and worked devoutly and eagerly. He left the ministry because as he says, 3I could not be honest in tellectually. I could not be honest morally. I could not be honest social fly. Repeatedly I made the attempt. Repeatedly the attempt ended in dis aster."
 Just how these grave changes are substantiated, this man who left the ministry tells fully in the October Woman's Home Companion. It is human document of intense interest which should be read not only by ev- cry minister. but also by every lay man. It throws a light on certain relations between pastor and people which are too often misunderstood.

PantaIoon Gowns.

IA climax to folly, the unscru-
pulous designers OF fashion have
"new thing" in ladies wearing ap-
parel-presumably to see how far
from the path of common decency mi
lady will 60 in her attempt to keep up
with style. II is extreme, but the top
notcher in fashion will either have
to take back seat or 60 up against
it. The new fad is a pantaloon
gown and this thriller in wearing ap-
parel sets the Directoire gown upon
a pedestal of modesty.
1t has the directoire back, long eff
feet, Louis the Fourteenth and bo-
lero shape. Seven yards of cloth
composes the whole dress.
But that is not the point. When
the wearer stands still it resembles
an ordinary pretty costume. The
moment she moves it is quite differ
ent. What has seemed a skirt parts
just above the knees and regular
trousers come into view. Trousers
just trousers. They make no pre-
tense of being anything else.
