ACCUSED AS A WITCH.

Tried For "Conversing With the Devil
 In the Form of Cat"
 Jane Wenham was indicted at the Hertfordshire assizes on March 4, 1712 for "conversing with the devil in the form of cat" under the provisions of the act of 1904. repealed in 1736. Her prosecutors wished to have her also indicted for practicing witchcraft to the harm of Ann Thorn, servant girl sixteen years old, but this was not allowed, although evidence was pro- duced at the trial to show what injury had been done the victim by means of crooked pins and by placing cakes and cats hairs in Ann Thorn's pillow and how the prisoner had caused the death of some cattle simply by walking through turnip field.
 The jury brought her in guilty" and MT. Justice Powell passed sen- tence of death, but took steps to quash the verdict. Wenham's prosecutors published an account of the case, but their arguments were pulverized by scientific men. Jane Wenham herself was liberated and taken under the protection of Colonel Hummer. who gave her a cottage. and we are told by pr. Hutchinson that in 1720 the whole country was fully convinced of her innocence.-London Spectator.

PADS AND FASHIONS

Neck ruffs of tulle. the exact tone of ones costume, are seen whenever a cooler day comes.
 Crochetted pearl collar pins is one of the latest fads, and very much in keeping with summer toilets.
 The Persian belts are usually finish ed with a very narroow edge of pa tent leather or dark. yellow suede.
 The majority of bathing shoes are low, but few high models laced with silk ribbons are also seen.
 The world is quite infatuated with the use of black and white stripes for simple morning frocks.
 White kid gloves are stitched in col ors to match the frock. Lavenders and pinks are especially favored.
 Most of the parasols this season have handles from five to eight inches than those of year ago:
 Jet necklaces with pendants of jet continue in favor They are seen more with collarless gowns than ever.
 Accordion plating is seen to good advantage in many of the dressy silk negligees, whether long or short.
 Rich cords as fastenings on the af- ternoon coat are relief after the various hook and button arrange ments.
 One of the prettiest novelties of the season, is the hat pin of Irish Crochet to be worn with the dainty summer hat
 Fringe deep or shallow is much in favor for sashes. and may be of the same color or in some sharply con- trasting shade.
 A new kind of embroidered stocking shows evelets in vine design and sol- i'd embroidery is also, much in eVl- dence.
 Capachons for the evening are of mousseline de soie sheered and trim med with rosettes of old gold or sil- yer tissue.
 A Persian belt adds a smart touch to the frock of black-or old and dark blue serge, and natural colored linen or pongee.
 Even foulard parasols are yelled with plain colored chiffon with eff fects that are just as good as those secured in gowns.
 Very smart. indeed. are the all-lin- en hats in most picturesque shapes. They are usually trimmed with loops or bows of soft ribbon.
 Pumps are very fashionable in one form or another. in kid. suede, and patent leather The stiff pump bow is seen. and the string bow also.

 Paris. July 21-French aviatorS are preparing to leave tonight for Calais on the English Channel to witness the cross-channel flight to be attempted tomorrow or Saturday by Madame Franck (Mrs Frank Hewartson), the first woman ever to hazard so daring a voyage through the skies in an aero- plane.
 Madame Franck is already in Calais, personally experimenting the assem- bling of her Farman biplane. She ex- presses perfect confidence in her ab1l- dty to make the aerial journey to Do yer. England, alone and declares that nothing can daunt her.
 Yer instructor, Henrie Farman, man. E.scturer of the Farman biplane and ~sS of the leading French aviators, decTared today that Madame Franck was perfectly capable of manipulating the aeroplane in this ambitious flight and that he had no doubt of her suc- cess
 A large number of private yachts will be spread out across the Channel to render aid to Madame Franck should there be mishap. while a fleet of tor pedo boats from the French navy will attempt to keep pace with her.
 Madame Franck. under which name she appeared in aviation meets with her biplane. is regarded as one of the foremost women flyers. She is the wife of Frank HewartsOn. an English journalist, residing in Paris. The cross-channel flight has been attempt ed five times, threes flights being suc- ceSsful.

TO PROSECUTE MAKERS
 OF ICE CREAM CONES

Washington, July 21.-Prosecu- tions against manufacturers of ice cream cones containing borax are to be instituted by the government un- der the pure food law. Large seiz- ures of cones were made recently in different parts of the country. An alysis of the cones seized disclosed the presence of borax, property which has been held to be deleterious to the human stomach.
 The cones, chemically tested, were found to contain also saccharine and benzoate of soda, but it was said at the department that the proposed prosecutions would be based solely on the presence of borax, inasmuch as saccharine still was under investiga- ton and benzoate of soda had been held to be harmless when used in small quantities. Inspectors will con- tinue to make seizures wherever cones are found containing borax. Manu- facturers using borax contend that this ingredient is necessary to make the cones hold their shape

Watch Your Shoulders,

When standing before looking glass notice if your shoulders are the same height. Generally the right is higher than the left: The reason for this un- evenness lies in the way one sits. You get into a comfortable chair at your desk, and at once you rest your right elbow on the arm of your chair or your desk. thus throwing one shoulder higher than the other This is especial ly the case where one writes a great deal When you notice that one shoul- der is higher than the other the thing to do is to change your way of sitting at your desk Two simple exercises will be beneficial. The arm of the low CT shoulder should be extended up- ward. the hand grasping a dumbbell That of the higher shoulder should be lowered and made to support heavy weight

OLD PRECEDENT INVOKED TO JUSTIFY EXTRA CHARGE
 AT NEW YORK TERMINAL

The much mooted question as to the meaning of terminal charge" in the order of the New Haven road is- sued this week, announcing that two extra coupons would be taken from mileage books on trips between this city and New York, was explained yesterday in the following statement issued by the company.
 "A terminal is known as the end or a railway 1ine-or terminus. It applies also to the ends of divisions. In this instance it is New York. The cost of construction, enlarging and maintaining terminals is relatively greater than the cost at local sta- tions, or intermediate points. In the case of New York it is disproportion- ately great, and it is not an uncom- mon practice for railways to fix a specific charge, sometimes on freight traffic and sometimes on passenger traffic, to in a measure meet the ex- cessive cost involved. An instance of this will be remembered in the day of the New York, Providence and Boston railroad. When the Thames river bridge at New London was com pleted, charge of two extra 4cou- pons for crossing the bridge was made to defray the expenses of con Struction."

MORE RAILROAD CLERKS GET RAISE OF PAY ON
 NEW HAVEN SYSTEM

The clerks of the stores department of the New Haven road received a 6 per cent. increase in wages yesterday. For the past month or more the heads of various departments have been busy figuring the rates of pay. Those belonging to unions have already re- ceived an per cent. increase. It has been previously stated that all those not connected with any labor organi- zation would receive a general increase of per cent. this increase including nearly every one on the system with the exception of the dining car. parlor car and sleeping car porters. It seems that the road is of the opinion that these men make money enough.
 The stores department, which is un- der R. A. Weston. is about the last department to receive the increase. and it was kept a secret until yesterday when the men received their pay. this increase affected the laborers as well as the clerks of this department.

COMMUTERS MAKE COMPLAINTS ABOUT
 NEW HAVEN ROAD

That the commuters using the New York, New Haven & Hartford rail- road into and out of New York are determined to keep the road up to the company has jumped their com mutation rates and defeated the at tempts to have them lowered again is the reading between the lines in the warning which has been sent out to the officials of the railroad com sion of New York. That body has advised the railroad officials that a large number of complaints about running the trains too short-handed, delays, etc., have been made to them and that certain defects will have to be ,remedied in order to avoid a public hearing on the complaints be- fore the commission.
 One of the grievances is that the company does not employ as many men as it should. It is said that trains are not infrequently brought order that the collection of tickets may be completed. More trains on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, are demanded by the patrons and they declare that the windows of ticket of fees ought to be kept open continu- ously instead of for just 15 minutes before train-time. It is also suggest ed by the commission that the gates on car platforms be kept. closed be- tween stations, as the cars are fre- quently so crowded that some pas sengers have to ride outside.
 Additional stairways to the bridge over the tracks at Bartow the sta- tion where passengers detrain for City Island, are wanted and the com missioners think also that station signs ''To New York would be much better than ITO Westbound Trains" the legend now displayed, inasmuch as there are many people whose .'bump of locality is not sufficiently developed to enable them to keep the points of the compass clearly in mind.
