name and is carried on now by his grand
child. Charles Worth was a Yorkshireman
who served his apprenticeship In the
Diapers business in his native town. Some
lucky chance brought the young man to
Paris, where for many years he was inter-
prefer and salesman in a French drygoods
establishment. II was during this time
that he conceived the idea OF uniting the
business OF merchant with that OF dress
maker, and in this way he really estao-

took up the new English dressmaker. and
from that time his fortune was made.
A good many chroniclers OF this period
say that Worth's early success was largely
due TO the interest the Empress took in his
work. A woman OF unerrins taste the
Empress always showed herself, still she
consulted with him day after day In regard
to every detail OF her toilet. 1t was I'M
doubtedly this intimate association over
matters sartorial that refined the English

to say. the Maison Worth to-day draws Its
greatest clientele from Spain and South

TELLS OF FAMINE
BLIGHT IN CHINA
American Arrives in Tacoma
with a Terrible Tale of
Suffering.
american News Service)

Tacoma, Wash. March "Details
Of the terrible plight of the natives in
the famine districts of China were
brought to Tacoma today by Alfred W.
Bowman, a resident in the Orient
since 1890 and until recently an in
structor in the government middle
school at Luchowfu, founded by II
Ching Fang. Chinese minister to Eng
land.
Reports of the famine suffering
and the misery and distress on every
hand are not overdrawn,' said Mr.
Bowman. There are at least 1000,
600 natives in immediate danger OF
starvation and hundreds are dying
daily In many instances parents are
driven TO the extremes of selling their
own flesh and blood for food.
Chinese boys are being sold in the
provinces south of the famine district
for $3.50 in American money, while not
more than % cents each is offered for
girls. In fact many of the poor fami
lies found it difficult to sell them al
any price.
When | left Luchowfu on January
10 thousands of refugees from the
famine district were sWarming into
Anhui. which is just south of the fam
inc belt. Many with whom | talked
told narrowing tales OF misery and dis
tress and reported that hundreds were
dying daily. | was told that many chill
dren. principally boys, were sold.
The country around Luchowfu, il
the province of Anhui, had good fal
crop. but throughout the country to the
north, where the crops were destroy
ed by floods, there is terrible suffering
and every indication is that the fam
inc will be fully as disastrous as the
last one, when thousands died from
hunger"
Mr.. Bowman says the missionaries
are disbursing relief funds, but are moi
able to do much because their re
sources are limited. He added that
food principally is required to sustain
the people until another crop can be
grown and harvested.

IL is understood that the Mexican
government insists that aerial scout

10 the men in the event they cross
the border. The river being very
crooked between Eagle Pass and Lare-
do furnishes the aviators splendid OPP
portunity to do all kinds of turning
stunts in the event they attempt to
follow the course of the stream.
The work of Lieutenant Foulois and
aviator Parmalee will be watched with
keen interest by military men in all
parts of the world, since this is the
first time in the history of the flying
machine that it has been used for
scouting purposes where hostilities
were actually going on and it became
necessary for neighboring govern
ment to enforce neutrality laws.
Lieutenant Foulois will report the
result of this Investigations between
the two points to the officers in COM
mand of troops now doing patrol duty
along the Rio Grande. Prominent
military men from various parts OF the
country and the attaches from other
countries have gone to the Mexican
border to note the result of this mill
tary effort with the flying machine.
Both Foulois and Parmalee have the
utmost confidence in their ability with
this new Wright machine to perform
any duty assigned to them.

TO
FUND OF F|REMtN
Grateful Spring Grove Man
Sends $50 to Start the
Pension Fund.

In appreciation Of the services OF
the fire department in extinguishing
"a small blaze at the home of d. L.
afternoon. when a threatening fire was
checked before the loss exceeded
5000. Chief Ed Miller received a check
for $50 this morning. as a nucleus for
Aremen's pension fund. Twenty-Five
dollars OF the amount was from Mr..
Woodward and the other half was con-
tributed by the corporation.
Although not required to do by law
the local fire department has several
times fought fires in Spring Grove,
which would have meant the destruc-
ton of the property. had not the local
department responded. Spring Grove
has n water plug and fire alarm box
maintained at its own expense.
Probably an ordinance will be
drawn up under state statutes regul.
ating such cases for the assessment OF
a certain per cent Of the salary OF
each fireman for the pension fund
Chief Miller favors the idea, as do the
Mayor Opposes Plan.
Regarding recent law which
makes compulsory the creation OF
firemen's pension funds by taxation
in first and second class cities and
making it optional in other class cities
Mayor Zimmerman went on record to
day as being heartily opposed to any
such ordinance in Richmond.
He claims that ii would be no more
fair for the firemen to have a pension
fund than the laborers in any factory
He says the firemen have good jobs
and should save their money.
The mayor also made the state
ment that "a fireman may have re
course from the city for any injury re
ceived at a fire" The rest of the board
hold different opinions on the matter
Clerk BALI Bescher said there ought
to be a pension because the firemen
never receive damages for injuries
received in a fire, whereas in factory
employees can hold the company LA
bic for damage.
The duty OF fireman was said to
be similar to that of soldier. Look.
ing at the matter from this standpoint
