SHOWS SIGNS OF SPREADING Teamsters' Strike in Chicago Is Likely to Involve Members of Other Unions. M.4NY CLASHES IN THE STREETS A Num'oer of Collisions Between Non- Union and Union Teamsters — Labor Leaders Protest to President Roose velt Chicr.i-o, May 10. —The large de partment stores and the express com panies yesterday resumed business on almost a normal basis. They sent ill 'ir wagons into the extreme parts of the citv, in some instances without police protection, and transacted their business without trouble of a serious character. Sixteen hundred teams were ar work and the number will be increased to-day. Notwithstanding this apparent gain, however, there are strong indications that the strike will spread within the next few days, not •only among the teamsters, but will in volve other unions as well. There were numerous clashes in the streets between non-union men anil the po'ice and union teamsters who attempted to block the passage of'the wagons of the Employers' Teaming Co. There were also a number of at tacks made on non-union men by workmen in buildings, who pelted them with a'l sorts of missiles from safr distances Ch'cago, May 11. —A strongly word-j •ed protest against the sending of fed eral • roups to Chicago was submitted to President Roosevelt Wednesday. | The protest is signed by C. P. Shea, I pr< ■: ,!ent of the International Broth erhood of T< amsters: Charles Dold.

There were a number of outbreaks 3'esterday. Chicago, May 12. —The teamsters' , strike yesterday was quieter. Driving j storms of wind and rain drove pickets from their posts. There was little dis- j turbance in the business quarter. On J the outskirts, however, there were a few attacks made on the drivers of de livery wagons, but with the exception of one negro who was knocked sense less by a stone, nobody was injured. The committee waited on the mayor with a request that an order permit- ! ting policemen to ride on the wagons of the firms against which the team sters are on strike be countermanded, on the ground that the police were be ing used in a manner to discriminate against the strikers. The mayor told the committee that he had issued the order enabling the police to ride on the wagons; that he would be personally responsible for the effect of that order, and said he did not consider that the police were ex ceeding their rights or powers at all. Chicago, May 13.—The Employers' association yesterday operated 1,900 ! wagons and made deliveries in all j parts of the city, in spite of the team sters' strike. Two non-union drivers were assaulted and beaten, one of them so severely that he may die. Be yond these cases there was no inter ference with the wagons worth men tioning. It required, however, a force of 4,000 policemen and deputy sheriffs to afford security for the wagons and to guard freight houses and stores. It is announced by the Employers' asso ciation and the express companies that in less than a week they expect to be doing business as though there never was a strike. Cornell's Athletes Won Easily. Philadelphia, May 13.—The help of Taylor, the intercollegiate quarter mib> champion, who was barred by the University of Pennsylvania faculty for falling behind in his studies, could not have turned defeat into victory in Fri day's Pennsylvania-Cornell dual meet at Franklin Field, as the Cornell team won easily, the final score being <>G to 51.

New York, May 13. —Nan Patterson, the one time Florodora show girl, was released on her own recognizance from the Tombs prison after almost a year within its walls awaiting a de termination of the charge that she had murdered her protector. Caesar Young. She was loudly cheered by a crowd of 2,000 persons as she left the prison. The move to discharge Nan Patter son came rather unexpectedly to the public. It was an hour or more be fore nr>on when District Attorney Jerome appeared before Recorder Goff and announced that he desired to move the discharge of the former chorus girl without bail and on her own recognizance. This announcement followed three trials for murder. The second and third of these trials—the latter con cluded but a few days ago—resulted in disagreements; the first in the dis charge of the jury because of the ill ness of a juror before the case had been concluded. Not the least interesting of the day's events and perhaps the great dramatic climax to the troubles of the former Florodora girl was the reunion in free dom with her sister, Mrs. .1. Morgan Smith, and her brother-in-law, .1. Mor gan Smith, both of whom were dis charged by Justice Cowing in the court of general sessions after being held on charges of conspiracy in con nection with the Patterson case. Smith was also held for contempt of court in failing to obey a subpena as a witness at the first trial. He was fined $250 and released on this charge. Then came the surprise, for Nan Patterson herself paid the fine out of a S3OO check which had been given her by a friendly newspaper. OIL TANK COLLAPSED. Two Men Killed and Dozens Injured at Point Breeze, Pa. Philadelphia. May 13.—Two men were killed, one was fatally injured and two score others were more or less seriously burned yesterday by the collapse of an immense gas holder at ihe Point Breeze works of the United (las Improvement Co. in tin- southern part of the city. The dead men are George H. Whalen, a tin roofer, and James Ogilbie, his assistant. Owen Brady, an employe of the gas com pany, was fatally injured. The gas holder collapsed from some unknown cause and the great volume of gas which the holder contained ex ploded with such force that buildings within a radius of half a mile were shaken. When the holder collapsed Whalen and Ogilbe were at work on a small building near by. It is believed that when the gas escaped from the holder it was ignited by the tinner's furnace, causing a groat, flame. There were more than 50 men a short dis tance from the tank and nearly all of them were either badly burned or scorched before they could escape from the fire zone. Whalen and Ogilbie were so badly burned that they died in a few min utes. A general call for ambulances was sent out and all the injured were conveyed to hospitals. About a dozen are still in the hospitals under treat ment for burns. DUN'S TRADE REVIEW. Manufacturing Activity Is Unabated, but Bad Weather Retards Retail Trade. New York, May 13. —R. G. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: Unsettled weather still retards re tail trade and uneven distribution of moisture prevents crop prospects from attaining an ideal position, but the general result is much better than nor mal and far more satisfactory than at this time in 1904. Mercantile pay ments are fairly prompt, money is easy and abundant, while confidence in the future is the ruling sentiment. The decline in Wall street to the low est average for the 60 most active rail way securities since last January has had no perceptible influence on busi ness. Manufacturing activity Is unabated, the leading industries reporting a minimum percentage of idle machin ery, and pig iron production is ex pected to establish a new record of over 2,000,000 tons for the current month. Failures this week in the United States are 197. against 230 the cor responding week last year. Failures in Canada number 21, against 23 last year. Paroles for Several Prisoners. Columbus, ()., May 13.—The board of penitentiary managers has paroled these prisoners: Robert Ditto, Tusca rawas county, arson, ten years, re ceived in 1901; John Sawyer, Craw ford county, manslaughter, five years, received 1904; Andrew Spohr, Mont gomery county, grand larceny, four years, received 1903; Ora Lambert, Paulding county, assault, three years, received 1904; William McDonald, Hamilton county, assault, 15 years, re ceived 1899; Fred Carey, Athens, shooting to kill, two years, received 1901; Frank H.

DRESSMAKER COMES AIN AUTOCRAT BUT A FAITHFUL FRIEND IS THIS VISITOR. Lady of Scissors and Styles a Person age of Distinction—Man Is Super fluous Furniture, When She Ap pears—She Regards Most Elegant Stuffs with Indifference —Never a Vender of Malice, She Gleams with Gayety and Gossip. BY MARC! A RliT E. fi ANO ST ICR Copxrinl't, J'Juj, by Joseph H. Bowles A function, mysterious and sacred, as recurrent as moon or the tides in cal, is known to the initiated as the coni cal is known to the initiated as the com ing of the dressmaker. Its rites are treated with the deepest awe, and never without proper ceremony, although there be those who tear their hair and gnash their teeth when the time for cel ebration comes around. To the man of the house, the coming of the dressmaker is as annoying as the old-fashioned house-cleaning. In both cases he is made to realize his insigni licatice. is impressed with the fact that ! he is only a big clumsy and blundering man-body, and is, for once in his life, shoved aside with as little formality as if he were merely a superfluous bit ol furniture. The dressmaker, let it be understood, is a personage of distinction. For weeks before her arrival affairs have been so ar ranged as to give her an undisputed right | of way. She is often engaged months in advance and her dates are as lixed and as carefully made as those which an nounce visits of royalty. In her own ! character she is plain Mary Jenkins or Kitty Cassidy. In her role of dressma ker she is an autocrat, and stately dames and fair demoiselles bow before her. One solicits her in the autumn for a week in the spring. One who is at all forehanded engages her for the fall the day the spring sewing is iinished. Her prices are high, but nobody disputes them. A dressmaker who has style and savoir-faire in the creation of feminine toilettes may simply ask what price she pleases. ♦ » • • • When she is expected an air of excite ment pervades the household. Breakfast is earlier than usual. The children are hurried off to school. Visi ble impatience flurries the mistress, and the maid moves about as hastily as if looking for an invitation to a wake. Should John choose that special morn ing to loiter a little before going to busi ness, saying that he has to meet a man on his way to the ofllce and will take a later train, deep dejection seizes his womankind. There are times when the best of men is a stumbling block; when one waves a joyful hand at the most adorable husband »she disappears around the corner. Everything else yields to the urgency of the moment when the lady of the scis sors and the styles appears on the scene. Samples were sent for weeks ago, and goods anxiously selected and purchased. Mother and daughters have reminded one another whenever errands have been made to the local shops, to bring home needles and buttons and braids aud sewing silk and linings and hooks and eyes and twist. It would be too dreadful to tind anything lacking when the dressmaker's time had come. When she has taken off her hat and Jacket, and unrolled her patterns, the artiste surveys the materials laid out for her inspection. The shimmering silks, the filmy gauzes, the sheer lawns, the flowered organdies, the lustrous mo hairs. the soft wools, whatever the fab rics chosen may be, are spread before her with a certain pride. Beautiful and costly they may be, but the dressmaker is never enthusiastic. She regards the most elegant stuffs with indifference, as befits one who handles such goods daily, and to whom nothing is sumptuous or magnificent. She is often haughty, and occasionally condescend ing, but take her for all in all, she is businesslike, and who dows not know that between business and sentiment there is a divorce which cannot be ig nored? If she says nothing critical, you may thank your stars; if she approves, be certain that your horoscope was cast in a fortunate hour; if she waxes cordial in her glance and words, fate has indeed been kind to you. • • • • • Alter a little, the dressmaker, in the place of commanding ofllcer, assigns to each member of the family her task. One presides at the sewing machine,another meekly stitches according to direction, another bastes; each does as she is told. If three or four gowns are in process of making at once, there is superficial con fusion, and there are naturally weari some half-hours of trying on, of tang ing skirts and adjusting sleeves. The latter indicate the ebb and flow of fashion's waves. One year they pnfr at the shoulder, the next they flare at the wrist. Sometimes the puff is below the elbow. Sometimes the sleeve clings to the arm. as the rind of an apple to the fruit. Turn to any toilet-chronicle of the past thousand years, and observe how sleeves have varied in caprice and whim all the way along the centuries, just as they do now. Empires crumble, dynasties wane, battles rage, the map of the world is changed, but sleeves main tain their whirling dance through all. and the dressmaker sits as calmly 011 the top of a heap of ruins as in the palace of a queen. Princesses indeed bow at her behest. Our first lady of the land could not have gone to the inaugural ball the other eve ning in March, had not some lady of the shears fashioned her splendid gown, from yards and yards and yards of iri descent brocade, woven on special looms from a pattern immediately destroyed. To the queen on her coronation day and the maiden on her bridal, the dress maker is alike Indispensable. * * • « • The house is kept at concert pitch un til the work is under good headway. Then the potentate of the occasion re laxes her severity and conversation be gins. eddying in and out, rippling 011 like a brook, swirling around familiar topics, and gleaming with gayety and gossip. (Joing as she does everywhere, the dress maker hears no end of pleasant things, and knows no end of interesting occur rences. She is no vender of malice or purveyor of scandal. She is only a bard working little woman, who earns every dollar she receives, and who entertains her employers agreeably by a bit of chat from the world outside, even when she dictates to them most firmly as to the length of their petticoats aud the height of their stocks. I)o not grudge her the money you pay into her faithful hand. Of course, while she is with you, call ers cannot be admitted, committee meetings must be evaded, and parties of pleasure abandoned. By an unwritten but imperative law, the dressmaker's days are her own, and she takes prece dence for the time, every other engage ment lessening in importance before i Iters. Fort his reason the woman lavish prefers another course front that of the woman economical. She sends her goods to a dressmaking establishment, goes there to be fitted, and has her dresses sent home, wrapped in many folds of tissue paper, and finished to the last fluting and frill, with a bill far in ex cess of the one presented by the itiner ant seamstress. One who has a big bank account, or a deep purse, may save her self t rouble by going to the dressmaker, instead of summoning the dressmaker to her. In India, this whole branch of handi work is given to men, who charge very little, yet perform miracles of beautiful needle-craft. European arid American ladies have great satisfaction in the eve ning gowns made by gentle natives, with deft hands and smiling faces. They ' dress the Mem Sahibs as those gentle women wish, making anew or making over with swift dexterity. But when they dress a Mohammedan or Hindu bride, the gown is something like one described by an author who writes of India, and whose words I quote: "She wore a purple petticoat em bossed with a rich border of scattered bunches of flowers, each flower formed of various gems, while the leaves and stents were of embroidered gold and silk threads. Her bodice was of the same material as the petticoat; the entire vest was marked with circular rows of pearls and rubies." We have nothing to show quite so superb as t his. TO HOLD ONE'S SHOES. Here Is a Means for Keeping the Shoes Dust and Out of the Wa,. A box can easily be converted into a shoe-nest, like the one shown in the il- FRACTICAI, SHOE WEST. | lustration, where shoes, slippers and j rubbers may be kept in orderly condi tion, says a contributor to Farm and Fireside. This double-deck shoe-nest requires but little skill and very little practical knowledge to make, and as 110 definite size can be given the drawing shows quite clearly how one or several of them can be made to fit the space in any closet. In a small closet no legs j will be required under one corner of the j nest, as both ends can rest on the top j of the surbase; in a large closet, how- j ever, where it is not desired to extend j it along the side, the unsupported end is held up by a leg. Nursery Portiere. For a nursery portiere nothing is prettier than burlaps in one of the artis- j tic tones of blup or brown, or whatever color matches the room, with a border of English tapestry illustrating nursery rhymes. Strips of these tapestries 00 inches wide cost 90 cents. They are de lightful in color and design, and the choice of subjects is ample. One may have a procession of goose girls driving their flocks through lovely meadows to an unseen brook; a windy garden with maids hanging out clothes, and several others as dear to memory or as exciting to the imagination. The strips may be used for wall decorations, also. The Hygiene of Perfumes. Perfumes are not selected for their hygienic value, but such they have. Doctors tell us that a handkerchief may be made antiseptic by the use of perfume. The action of the spirit of the scent and the essential oils can de stroy the grms. Lavender is supposed to soothe the nerves. That is why the bed linen is lavender scented. Jas mine induces nerve exhaustion and de pression. Don't use strong scent. Use delicate, clean perfumes only. To Thicken Eyebrows. Comb the eyebrows and clip the edges of them. Then use the salve accom panying until the growth is increased: ! Red vaseline, two ounces; tincture 01 cantharides, one-eighth ounce; oil ol lavender. 15 drops; oil of rosemary, JJ drops. Mix thoroughly. Apply to the eyebrows with a tiny toothbrush once a day until the growth is sufficiently 1 stimulated, then less often. NO MORE HEADACHE GENERAL WEAKNESS AND FEVEB DISAPPEAR TOO. How a Woman TVm Frwrt from Troubles That Had Mado Life Wretched for Many Years. The immediate causes of headaches vary, but most of them come from poor or poisoned blood. In anamiia the blood is scanty or thin ; tho nerves aro imper fectly nourished aud pain is tho way in which they express their weakness. 111 colds tho blood absorbs poison from tho mucous surfaces, and tho poison irritates tho nerves and produces pain. In rheu matism, malaria and the grip, tho poison in tho blood produces liko discomfort. In indigestion tho gases from the impure matter kept in tho system affect the blood in tho same way. The ordinary headache-cures at best give only temporary relief. They deaden tho pain but do not drive tho poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on tho contrary thoroughly renew tho blood and the pain disappears perma nently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailing relief in head aches caused by anaemia. Miss Stella Blocker recently said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did mo a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all tho timo. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I became entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she Wad asked. "For several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came ou by slow degrees. I had been going down hill for ninny years." " Did you have any other ailments?" " I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were af fected as well as my head." " How did you come to take tlio rem edy that cured you?" " I saw in a southern newspaper a statement of some person who was cured of a like trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink ! Pills. My physician hadn't done me any ; good, so I bought a box of these pills. I After I had taken one box I felt so much | better that I kept ou until I became en tirely well." Miss Blocker's home is at Leander, I Louisiana.
