SAGINAW, Mich, Feb. s.
Miss Margaret Schwender, the
pretty seventeen-year-old high
school girl, who fled from her
home a few months age and who
was later found by her parents
when she was taken from a Sal
walton army rescue LONE in De-
troit, charged with infanticide, has
returned to the family homestead,
having been acquittei.
To jury of middle-aged mar
ried men, the girl told the story
of her shame and sorrow. In her
short dress and with her youthful
she looked more like
a high school girl than a mother
of a baby. She is small for her
age, appearing on the big witness
chair, as a child, still anxious to
play with dolls.
She told the story of the night
when the blaze of burning house
drew her from her home to watch
the fire; about the darkness of the
night; a young man offered to eS-
cort her home; she accepted; on
the way he assaulted her, and she

And the commissioners turned
a deaf ear.
Manager Dimmock of the street
railway company got the Puyal-
lup street railway franchise abso-
lutely by false pretense. He told
the cit ycouncil that fares would
never be more than 20 cents round
trip and that they might be reduc-
ed to 10 cents. On this promise
the franchise was granted. Then
are fare was raised to 40 cents.

legends Of Shadowy Craft of the New
England Coast. s3;.s
The coast Of New England has nus
merous legends concerning specter
ships firmly believed by the rugged
fishermen, who assert stoutly that on
various occasions glimpses Of the
shadowy craft have been seen, fol-
lowed invariably by fatal disaster.
The specter of the Palentine is occa-
sionally seen on Long Island sound
and is the forerunner Of a gale Of
wind. She was a Dutch trading YES
sci and was wrecked off Block island
in 1852. The wreckers, it is said, made
short work of her, stripping her fore
and aft and setting fire to the hull.
AS she drifted blazing off the coast a
human form was visible amid the
flames, the form of female passen-
ger, left to perish on the doomed
craft. Since and generally upon the
anniversary of the wreck a phantom
ship with blazing hull, charred spars
and scorched sails and rigging has
been seen cruising off Block island.

ghostly cruiser that sailed from a
New England port Of her last voyage,
which he termed "The Dead Ship of
Salem" In the seventeenth century a
ship was about to sail from Salem to
England. Her cargo was on board,
sails bent and passengers on deck,
when two passengers came hurriedly
off and engaged passage. The couple
were a young man and a young wo-
man, who, so tradition records, were
remarkable for their bearing and beau
ty.
Who they were or whence they came
no one in Salem town could tell. The
ship being detained by adverse winds,
the mysterious couple excited the sus-
picions of the townspeople, who view
ed them as uncanny and prophesied
disaster to the vessel if allowed to sail
in her. But the master, a bluff and
stern sailor, refused to listen and final
ly departed on a Friday.
The vessel never reached her desti-
nation and was never spoken, but later
in the year incoming vessels reported
sighting a craft with luminous rigging
and sails and shining hull and spars.
She was sailing with all canvas set
against the wind, with a crew Of dead
men standing in the shrouds and lean
ing over the rail. while upon the quar-
terdeck stood a young and beautiful
couple.-New York Herald.

In most umbrella factories the task
Of turning out ribs and stems Is left to
other factories making a specially of
those parts. These are sent to the
manufacturer, and the man whose
work it is to assemble the parts in

gether about the main rod and adjusts
the ferrule.
In cutting the cloth or silk seventy
five thicknesses or thereabout are ar
ranged upon table at which skilled
operators work. In one department
there are girls who operate hemming
machines. A thousand yards of hem.
med goods is a days work for one of
these girls. The machines doing this
job attain speed Of some 5000 rev.
olutions a minute. After the hemming
has been done the cloth or silk is cut
into triangular pieces with knife, as
before, but with a pattern laid upon
the cloth. The next operation is the
sewing OF the triangular pieces to-
gether by machinery.
The covers and frames are now
ready to be brought together In all
there are twenty -one places where the
cover is to be attached to the frame.
