mother was away endeavoring as best
she could to earn a few pennies for

read the Stars story OF the poverty
stricken woman. 1t was she who had
agreed to take care of baby Static.
The first glance of the dingy surround

baby would have shocked and discour-
aged the average person, but pretty Miss
Emma Winnifred, the trim little 4-year-
old daughter of Mrs. Moore. who went

EXPOSITION'S
CANOPY HUNG

The huge canopy which will form the
overhead setting of the Industrial Ex-
position, which opens in the First Regi-
ment Armory on Monday, was swung into
place last night by the army of workmen
now engaged in decorating the auditorium
and when illuminated It resembles the
golden glow of the Northern Lights.
The centre of the canopy is finished in
a rich golden yellow and is surrounded
by a dark red border. Suspended from
the tapestry, at welljudged intervals, are
fourteen large tassels of red and gold,
and its four corners are draped in Roman
fashion, giving an effective display to the
general color scheme of golden yellow,
On the tlraping ends of the canopyare four
large letter Ms studded In jewels.
The entire tapestry Is framed in elec-
tric lights, and re1ectors from sixteen
chandeliers augment the illumination.
! 1t required twenty rigging men and
twelve decorators over four hours to swing
the canopy into place
The canopy is $50 feet long and forty
feet wide and weighs over 1000 pounds.
The iron tubes which support 1t weigh
1900 pounds and the four draping tas-
sells weigh 400 pounds.
In addition to the huge canopy there
will be 10000 square yards of golden
yellow bunting used in the decorations
and 5000 square yards of burlap will
be spread upon the floor space OF the
arn1ory.
Concealed behind the bunting are the
incandescent lights which illuminate
the hall.
The overhead decorating is now com
pleted and the electricians are working
on the two electrical fountains, Which
will be the most beautiful ever seen at
any Industrial exposition. The wiring
will be so arranged that the color of the
water and lights is constantly changing.
A large part of the heavy machinery
has already been moved In, and before
Saturday it is expected that all the ex.
hibitors win have claimed their space.

Court to Hear
Grade Petition
Irrom a stan Correspondent


TRENTON, May 9,--The proceedings to
determine whether the Pierce grade
crossing law is valldly passed statute
are not likely to be instituted until next
week. The attorney-general' Office has
about completed the petition to submit
the matter TO the court, but the con.
sent of Chief Justice Gummere for per-
mission to file the petition must first be
obtained, and Assistant Attorney General
Gaskill thought today that 1t would not
be convenient to obtain this permission
before next Tuesday.
The case, when il finally comes up,
will probably be heard by the main
branch OF the Supreme CoNt. The pro-
ceedings are to be instituted at the re-
quest of Governor Wilson, who is acting
under authority OF a law passed In 1875
and never before invoked.

ing the discovery to the house on
Forty-eighth street and brought the
painting away with him inclosed in
roll of burlap.
Pietro reported to Randolph Mason
that the stolen picture had been thus
recovered and that the authority of
New Italy now considered the matter
ended.
The Marquis Mazaccra, however,
did not consider it thus ended. The
score with Tolman Perkins remained
yet to be settled. The Latin mind
was not accustomed to the idea Of
punitive damages at law for an In
jury.
On a certain Sunday morning, a
few days after the recovery of the
picture Of the Virgin of the Noun
tain, New York was astonished by a
homicide belonging, in it's deliberate,
cruel and theatrtc details, to some
inquisitorial era. Mr.. Tolman Per-
kins, bachelor, was found by his
valet at seven o'clock on this Sunday
morning, in the library Of his house
on Forty-eighth street in a dying
condition.
Mr.. Perkins, insensible from loss
of blood, was taken Immediately to
a hospital and saline solution In
jected into his veins. He revived a
little and attempted to talk, but was
unable to do so. A pencil was put
into his fingers and he was asked 20
write the name of the person who had
attacked him. Finally, after repeated
efforts, he wrote the following words:
1T was that Italian, the Marquis
Mazaccra, who did it. When I get
well ! will kill him"
He died at three o'clock. But the
curtain was not yet rung down on the
tragedy.
