QUAINT AND HISTORIC SHOES
EXHIBITED BY LIT BROTHERS
East and West Represented in Curious
Collection of Footgear.
A most Interesting exhibition of ancient
footwear Is being displayed In the -window
of Lit Brothers' store on Market street,
such Interesting things as boots worn by
Henry IV being shown. They are lon
Jack-boots of solld'looklng leather, which
much have hampered the august gentle
man considerably In his peregrinations.
Old postilion boots worn by Imperial
couriers In Austria are also In evidence.
They are fashioned of purple velvet, heav
ily embroidered In sliver and gold.
Japanese sandals are curious, being cut
out of solid wood, with a rope of straw
set over the Instep. Somo women's slip
pers from Java are particularly pretty,
being of silver thread embroidered with a.
quaint design In green and rd beads. Th
Chinese "lily-foot" slipper la absurdly
diminutive, made, of course, for bound
feet.
An old wedding shoe from the Tyrol,
oiacK, emoroinered in red, is attractive
while the Japanese garden clog of yellow
leather with rosettes of red wool are odd,
and seem Inappropriate for their Intended
purpose.
The exhibition Is designed to show the
difference between ancient and modern
bootB and shoes, and In looking at the
exhibition one learns what ono truly has
to bo thankful for nowadays.

SUFFRAGISTS IN WORD BATTLE
OVER CONGRESSIONAL UNION
Chicago Leader Attacks Motives of
Organization nnd Delegate Replies.
CHICAGO, June 7. War began among
the delegates to the National American
Woman Suffrage Association's mid-year
conference today when Mrs. Medllt Mc
Cormlck, of Chicago, attacked the mo
tives of the Congressional Union, a
rival suffrage organization. Some of the
delegates to the conference are members
of both organizations, among them Mrs.
Grace Wilbur Trout, of Chicago, Who
hurled the gauge of battle back and
warmly criticised Mrs. Mccormick's
jtlements.
Eighty women representing M Stales are
attending the conference, which will bo
held today and tomorrow. Mrs. Anna
Howard Shaw presided today. Mrs. Mr
Cormick, as chairman of the Congresslnn.
at Committee of the association, m.iriu
the report which started tho spirited bat
tle of words.
"The policy of this organization Is anti
democratic," said Mrs. McCormlck, sneak
ing of the congressional union. "It al
ways attacks the party In power. Our
plan should be to attack Individuals who
do not perform their public duties prop
erly." Mrs. Trout was on her feet Instantly.
"I do not believe In a plan of brow
beating nnd scolding men Into voting for
Riiffrage," she said. "You cannot handle
men that way. I bellevo In educating and
lnteretlng men In suffrage In a nice con
servative way. That Is the way we ob
tained suffrage In Illinois."
Mrs. McCormlck In her report recom
mended that tab be kept on the votes of
all Congressmen Unfriendly to suffrage,
on every question up before congress
Mrs. Trout declared nothing was to be
gained by this method. To stop the argu
ment Mrs Henry M, Toumans, of Wa t
kesha, Wis., moved to appoint a. com
mlttee to Iron out the differences On
motion of Mrs. Stanley McCormlck, of
New Tork, this was tabled.
During the arguments on the Con
gressional Union, Doctor Shaw used the
gavel several times to silence delegates
who were trying to speak without recog
nition from the ihalr. There were fre
quent cries of "steam roller" and "gag
rule."
For three hours the verbal war raged.
Mrs. Medlll McCormlck urging the dele
gates to keep away from the Con
gressional Union and Mrs. Trout defend
ing It Recess for luncheon was taken
shortly before one o'clock without reach
ing the routine program for the day's
session.

KING CONSTAMKS
CONDITION CRITICAL
Members of Cabinet Remain at
Palace All Night Europe
Awaits Outcome of Illness.
ATHENS, June 7. King Conslantlne's
condition was described as "critical" In
the first official bulletin Issued today.
Premier Gounarls and nearly all the
members ot tho Cabinet had remained
at the palace all night.
Slight Improvement was reported In a
second bulletin Issued by the King's phy
sicians, as follows;
"The King Is sleeping uninterruptedly.
His temperature Is 103.46, nearly a degree
lower than yesterday."
The King passed a very restless night
His temperature at midnight was 103.3,
his pulse 125 and his respiration 26. Phy
sicians said that while they expected A
rise In temperature following Saturday's
operation, the condition of their patient
unquestionably was alarming.
The Illness of the King has paralyzed
political activities preceding the elections
to be held June 13. There Is no doubt
that tho Avar party, led by former Pre
mier Venlzelos, has suffered through
sympathy with the King.
The pleural region In the lobes of tho
lungs, from which the King Is suffering.
Is due, according to a statement declared
to have emanated from the diplomatic
representative of a neutral Power, a man
who has the best possible means of know-y
Ing the truth, to a traglo eptsodo that oc
curred In April during a heated discus
slon between the King and his consort,
Queen Sophia, who Is a sister of the Ger
man Emperor.
An animated conversation, It Is stated,
took place In the King's library one even
ing, which developed Into a violent quar
rel, during whirit the Queen, whosa oe
easlotial outbursts of Impetuous temper
are well known to nil about her. Is nld
to have seized t sharp-pointed meUllh
peper knife and plunged It Jnto hfcr hus
band's tide.
The truth was hushed up and the King,
as lie would have done In any rase, gal
lantly attributed to InfluerUa the pleutls
that set In owing to the wound. It is
stated that the Queen deeply deplored and
regretted the aet of hasty temper.

of the respective branches.
The meetings will be held to pass many
minor bills that have accumulated on the

the summer recess Aoout "3 bills await
action In Common Council nnd concur
rence In the upper branch.
Many of these measures would have
been considered at last Thursday's ses
sion, but Common Council adjourned early

clerical attache, who died that day.
It Is expected that one or more special
meetings may be necessary to clear the

The BACON PIANO COMPANY,
guided by the three generations of
Bacons, might well be called the "school
master;" for not only was it the pioneer
in the piano business, and thus taught by
example, but many of the men employed
in its service have since founded their
own factories, where they have produced
some of the best-known pianos of the
present day. On the pay-rolls of the old
firm of Bacon & Raven are found the
names of Henry Steinway, Sr., and
Charles Steinway Sr., of Steinway &
Sons; David and John J. Decker, of
Decker Brothers; Frederick and Henry
Hazelton, of Hazelton Brothers; Free
born G. Smith, successor to W. B. Brad
bury, and many others.
That these men learned their trade well is
shown by the subsequent fame which they won.
The success of these men also indicates the
character of the skilled labor which h$gg
employed in the manufacture of the FRANUb
BACON PIANOS. These high standards of
labor? and tare as to detail, explain the long
record of business achievement, more substan
tial than that of many which have come and
gone.
