THE WEATHER
UNSETTLED
"What goes up must come down.
Here It Is the third day of May and wo
are having splendid April weather. And
you, you child of convention, fumed and
ranted beneath your old derby all of last
week with tho mercury trying for an
altitude record, only to appear this morn
ing with a forced smile under a brim of
straw. It's all every Interesting, for 11
was only last week that we were having
a most terrible argument with the "Girl
Wo Talk Everything Over With" con
cerning the relative Independence of men
and women.
"Take fashions, for Instance," she said.
"Of course, you can't wear silk knee
breeches or anything like that, but you
can wear a suit you bought three yeara
ago, and if It Is not soiled or worn out
nobody knows the difference. And Just
think, here these full skirts are coming in
again, and I look awfully In a full skirt,
but I have got to wear them Just the
same, and isn't It tragic? I wish I wert
a man."
It is very hard, Indeed, not to agree
with tho G. W. T. E. O. W., and we did,
of course that Is, with everything except
the part about her being a man, for that
would not do at all. But, coming down
the street this morning with tha straw

the weather waB less adapted to them

TRADING STAMP CO.
TO CLOSE BUSINESS
Abolition of Acme Tea Pre
mium Subsidiary to Be Fol
lowed by Price Reductions.
Tho Crown Stamp Company, ono of the
largest trading stamp concerns in Phila
delphia and a subsidiary of the Acme
Tea Company, will be voluntarily sus
pended. Tho Acme Tea Company stores,
which were the principal dlspensora of the
stamps, gave oway their last on Saturday,
but the distribution through retail stores
that bought the stamps on contract from
tho Crown Company and gavo them out
with purchases to stlmuato trade will be
continued until tho expiration of the
contracts.
The holders of the Crown stamps will
be nble to redeen them at full value, ac
cording to William Crow, president of the
Crown Company and vice president of
tho Acme Tea Company. The Crown
Stamp Company was organized as a sub
sidiary of the Acme company In 1906.
The decision to suspend was brought
about by tho desire of the officers of the
parent concern to put the money needed
to operate the stamp business Into the
tea company, Mr. Crow said today. Ho
denied reports that the stamp company
was In financial difficulties,
"The Crown Company Is in good con
dition," said Mr. Crow, "Any report to
the contrary Is absurd, as the stamp
company and the Acme tea business are
Interlocking and the stamp company had
the Acme business back of It.
"The decision to retire the stamp com
pany was not a sudden one," he said.
"We have been contemplating the move
for some time. The money saved by
suspending the etamp business will be
put Into the tea company by way of re
duced prices. It was the desire to lower
prices at, the tea company stores that; led
to our decision to suspend There will be
sweeping reductions, ...
"The Crown Company has discounted
its bills since It started, and we will con
tinue to do so until the business Is wound
up "
Mr. Crow estimated that between SOO.000
and 300,000 of the books of the stamp com
pany were still outstanding. Each book
contains 1000 6tamps. which are pasted m
by purchasers of the Acme Btores and
other concerns which distribute them.
Each book is redeemed In merchandise at
the Crown Company headquarters, 1007
Arch street. The. premiums given In ex
change for a book are valued at 11.60.
Retailers who buy stamps from the
Crgwn Company pay J1.50 a thousand
Tha headquarters will continue at 1007
Arch street until all the books outstand
ing are presented for redemption and
the retail stores that are distributing the
stamps on contract have completed giv
ing out their stock.

MINEOIA, N. Y., May 3. Coolly and
without a trace of emotion, Mrs. Florence

her chief attorney, George M. Levy, and

When District Attorney Smith, In his
examination of talesmen, asked one

about sending a woman to the electric
chair, Mrs. Carman turned around to
her husband and smiled.
Once she clashed spiritedly with Levy.
After nine talesmen had been examined
and excused Levy indicated he waa going
to accept Peter Rohrbabh, a clerk, of
Seacllff, L. I. Mrs, Carman reached over
and tapped Levy's shoulder. A whispered
conversation followed, in which it was
apparent the defendant vehemently
argued against accepting Rohrbach, Doc

wife, joined In the conference. Levy
wanted the talesman on the Jury, and
after a few minutes won Mrs. Carman
over to his side,
Rohrbach was accepted as the first
Juror, As he took a Beat in the Jury box
Mrs. Carman turned her cold, blue eyes
on him. For several minutes she stared
fixedly at him, tapping at the same time
with her fingers on the rail of the Jury
box. She stopped gazing at him only
when the examination of another tales
man started.
Two other Jurors. In addition to Rohr
bach, were selected this afternoon. They
