In the Sewing Room.

Have some system in your sewing
room and save time and energy.
Place your patterns in large labeled
envelopes.
Keep your buttons in empty face
cream glass jars (much easier to find
than in the button bag) and keep them
in your machine drawer, with small
labeled boxes containing hooks and
eyes, pins, etc.
When making a garment pieces left
over may be pinned together, and so,
when needed, easily picked up. Tack
a strong cord on the wall or in
corner if possible, near your ma
chine, and on it pin your pattern,
trimming, material, etc., you are work
ing with. This will save many What

many bend-overs. Try it.

Wheat SEEDING.

In fitting the ground for sowing
wheat do not neglect to prepare the
seed bed in a thorough manner The
depth of the blowing should be regu
lated by the crop previously grown.
If oat stubble ground is used, as is
quite often done, the blowing may
be quite shallow; on some soils the
blowing may indeed be omitted en-

Possibilities Of an Acre.

Generally speaking, it may be said
that an acre of red clover should sup
port eight to ten hogs for three to
four months. Alfalfa should pasture
from II to 20 head for the same length
of time. Alfalfa should not, however,
be pastured so closely that moving
will not be necessary. The rule should
be to put on only enough hogs as will
allow one cutting of hay to be taken
off during the pasturage season.

Garnet Revival.

Every little while sees revival of
some old-fashioned gem or style and
now it is the garnet that women are
wearing once more. Many forms it
takes-and one may wear this pretty
red stone in many ways. The finest
garnets are the Bohemian variety,
and one may have them in rings, in
necklaces, in pendants or wear them
in brooches. There are barpins, too,
of garnets. and collar pins. slides and

Judge Bordwell came into court at 215 O'Clock with a rush. He advanced
to the bench, slammed down a book and his notes and at down with a frown
on his face.
AS is his custom, he announced the case: "The people of the State of
California vs. j. B. Mcnamara, charged with murder. Defendant in court
Are you ready to proceed, gentemenP"
Just previous to his entrance to the courtroom Judge Bordwell had called
the district attorney into conference with him. Evidently the district attorney
chair as the Judge finished his statement He said:
After long consideration of this case, if it pleases your honor, and after
consulting with counsel in this case, we have come to the conclusion that we
shall enter a plea of guilty"
There was a stir in the courtroom as Mr.. Davis finished. Then the dis
.uct attorney asked the court for the indictment in the case:

1874 Mr.. Harden expressed a wish to be

Live Together,

NEW YORK, Dec. 2.-That a man
may live in the same house as a wom-

as his wife, and yet not be guilty of
improper conduct, was decided yester-
day by Supreme Court Justice Golf, in
the divorce action of Mrs. Eva b.
Spaulding against George l.. Spauld-
ing, a music publisher.
The Spauldings were married in 1889.
They separated ten years ago and Mrs.
Spaulding then sued for absolute di-
vorce. The case remained on the cal
lendar until 1910, when it was discon-
tinued. She then sued again. alleging
her husband had been guilty of mis-
conduct with Jessie A. Moore, at PA
Walnut street, Roselle Park, N. j., and
had lived there alone with her for owe
a year.

AAdpoI has no use LOT anyone VIII
commits violence and murder, and it
never did have" said Henry r. Hilfers,
secretary of the Essex Trades Council
and of the State Federation of Labor.
Il honestly think that the general pub
lie believes this to be a fact.
1.-THE Mcnamara brothers have con-
fessed to the crimes of which they were
accused. They should suffer the full
penalty of the law.
Il believe the mere act that these
men have confessed to the crimes
show h general public that it was
the act of an individual or individuals
and not the act of organized labor or
any part of it.
I'VE had all confidence in their in
nocence, and we believe men should be
considered innocent until proven guilty
that is why we gave them our sup
port.

commits violence to further the aims
of organized labor cannot be punished

George A. Leary, national vice-presi-
dent of the Polishers, Brass and Sill

ing statement to an Evening STAR
reporter:
From the meagre reports that we
had last night l could not believe that
the Mcnamara brothers had pleaded
guilty, but from the published state
ments in the newspapers today it seems
they have done so. In that case l
believe they should have melted out
to them the full penalty of the law.

guilty as the other, and no favoritism
should be shown. They destroyed the

WOMAN SUICIDE IS
STILL A MYSTERY
Purse and Satchel Disappear
After She Leaps from
FerrybOat.

In an effort to discover the identity
of a mysterious woman, possibly from
Newark, who committed suicide by
jumping from the ferryboat Musconet-
cong while on it's way from Hoboken
to West Twenty-t hird street last night,
the police of New York and Hoboken
are making an investigation today.
Apparently, after the woman fiung
herself from the rear deck of the ferry
boat, someone who knew her tried to
prevent the discovery of her name. A
purse and satchel. which the woman
carried, mysteriously disappeared in
the confusion after she jumped over
board.
She is known to have left them on a
seat in the woman's cabin when she
started out on deck for the fatal leap,
vet when Captain Niemen, commander
of the ferryboat, asked that they be
brought him, there was no sign OF
either article. Unless the purse and
satchel were taken by a sneak thief,
the police are inclined to think they
were hidden by someone who had been
with the unknown woman and thought
by hiding them to prevent her identity
from becoming known.
1t is considered strange, however, that
if there was someone accompanying the
the companion failed to rush
from the cabin to try to restrain the
attempt at suicide.
Captain Niemen stopped the vessel
and lowered a llfeboat, but the woman
did not reappear on the surface. No
trace of the body has yet been found.

destroyed property and they threw a
large number of men out of employ
ment at different times by their acts.
For that life Imprisonment or the gal
lows is none too good for them.
The McNamara brothers acts will
not retard the labor movement. and
the movement should not be blamed
for the dastardly acts of these two
self-confessed criminals"
Henry j. Gottlob, of Typographical
Union No. 1oS, said:
I'VE were confident that the Nc
Namara brothers were innocent of the
charges made against them.
The confession, however, shows
h a they wilfully misled the labor
movement throughout the country, lust
as they wilfully and maliciously COM
mitted their crimes.
They are a pair of cold blooded
men.
Our sympathies went to them be-
cause they had been kidnapped out of
their own States and taken to another
place, and we were assured by them
that they were innocent.
mo sentence can be any too severe
to be given them"
William j.. Brennan. of Stationary
Firemen's Union No. SIS, said:
by their confessions the McNamaras
show that they were utterly without
good principle.
How they could do the crimes which
they admit is beyond human concep-
ton, and it appears to me that they
were out to wreck the labor movement
as well as to commit murder.
Hanging for them is too good, and
I hope they will be heavily dealt with
