London Dressrakers Affected BY the
New Custom Of English Women.


London Dressnoakers Affected BY tho
New Custom Of Enpllsh Women.
The demand for ready made gowns
in London to-day is 80 great that the
small dressmaker complains that she
is being crushed ont of existence. Ac-
cording to report made by an in
spector of factories and workshops
there has never been a time when the
ready made clothing industry flourish
ed as at present.
Such clothing can be bought In
shops at all prices from $1.10 to s4o0.
Most of the cheaper dresses are made
in factories and one style is repro
duced often 200 times.
AS the ready made trade increases
naturally the dress trade, that Is the
sale Of material by the yard, decreases
and the small dressmakers cannot get
sufficient work. The convenience OF
entering a shop, seeing a gown, try
ing 1t on and having It sent home to
wear the same day or, If slight altera-
tions have to be made, the next day
has proved too alluring for the Lon
don woman and her suburban sister.
Another reason for the existing state
of affairs is the fact that the present
style of gown requires very little fit-
ting. soft folds serve to drape the fig
ure and bonlng and steels are rare.
Naturally the cheapness Of the ready
made dress adds TO its attracdveness.

.LOR|MER jackpot
Illinois Man Tells How H.
Was. Offered $1,000.
TOLD HE WOULD GET MORF
Explains to Investigators He Had
Heard Of Jackpot Which Was to
Be Divided Among Legislators
For StrangIns Bills.

Chicago, Sept. 27.-State Represent
ative Charles c. White of O'Fallen, ILL.,.
took the stand in the investigation into
the election of United States Senator
William Lorimer by the senatorial sub
committee on elections and privileges
Six of the seven members of the com
mittee were present.
White declared he had been asked
by the minority leader, Mr.. Browne.
to vote for Lorimer, and that Browne
told him he would receive $1,000 for
his vote. The testimony was the same
as has been given by White In the
two trials of Browne.
The first severe clash of the hearing
came when Mr.. Austrian asked what
money was promised White. The rep
resentative replied:
Il asked Browne how much l would
get from other sources, and he re-
piled, oh, about as much more"
Senator Lorimer's attorney objected
to this answer, arguing that the 10Th
er sources" were entirely outside the
case.
This brings up" he said, what has
been referred to as the Jackpot By
the words of the witness, other
sources it is shown that it has no
connection with the election Of Sen
ator Lorimer."
The committee retired into executive
session to consider admissibility of
this line of evidence.
On returning to the hearing room the
committee questioned the witness con
corning his understanding of the prom
Use of money from other sources.
White said he had heard of rumors
of what was known as a Jackpot"
which was to be divided among legis-
lators for "strangling or passing bills"
Shortly thereafter recess was taken.

The Rush for Wealth..

There are multitudes of people in
the world to-day who are steering and
sailing for Ophfr, simply because 1t
is the land of gold. What will they
do If they reach their desired havenr
They do not know. They do not even
ask the question. They will be rich.
They will SIT down on their gold. Let
us look out desires squareY in the
face. To win riches, 10 have certain
balance in9 the bank. and a certain
rating on the exchange, is real OBJ
ject, definite object; but it is a
frightfullyg small object for the devo-
ton of human life, and a bitterly
disappointing reward for the loss OF
an immortal soul. If wealth is our
desired haven. we may be sure that
1t will not satisfy us when We reach
it-Henry van Dyke.

Christians. In Old Roma.

Religious persecution as such Wis
unknown under the Romans The
Christians were regarded as seditious
In denying the divinity Of the Cae-
sars and the Roman gods they were
guilty Of high treason In Roman eyes
and were accordingly punished. But
their punishment had no religious sig
nificance whatever The Christians
were prosecuted not because they were
Christians, but because, i'm the opinion
of the authorities. they were disturb
ers of the peace. and safety Of the
state. Religious persecution was a
thought that never entered the Roman
mind.-New York American.

Wounds of the Heart.

In wounds of rhe heart itself the es-

due to the facr that the escape OF
blood from within its cavity or cavities

which its pumping action is maintain
