Mr. Miller Takes Your Measure.
Mrs. Miller Does the Rest.
Mr. and .Mrs. Miller are what might be termed "cut and
fit artists." Their work in several of the largest American cit
ies has called forth strong commendation. To begin with they
are expert tailors or dressmakers. But their method of opera
tion is new and novel, and very practical. Working together
they have produced thousands of fashionable garments, and be
ing abreast of the period in every detail, every garment they
cut is newest in mode. Beginning their engagement at this
store last Monday morning they will cut and fit all Dress
Goods and Silks selling for 50c per yard and upwards abso
lutely free and guaranteeing satisfaction.
Mr. Miller takes your measure, cuts your waist, shirt waist,
suit, skirt, party gown or evening gown; then Mrs. Miller fits it
perfectly and smoothly to your figure. They are assisted in
their work by a famous New York designer and cutter. All
done in broad daylight, quickly and deftly the result of long
and successful practice. Everything is gotten ready for the
final sewing the easiest part of making a dress, as every wom
an knows.
The only requirement of this offering is the fabric used is
bought here on this occasion and is priced 50c or over. It may
be wool, silk or linen, and can be cut in any manner you wish.

Ths May meeting of Btow Post, No. 1TM,
G. A It., Is always important, as at this
monthly meeting preparations are always
made In a general way for the proper ob
serrance of Memorial Day, iu which the
ex-soldier, and the geueral public take so
much interest. At this meeting which was
held Monday evening, a goodly number of
the offlceis and members were present, of
the former was, Leouard Agnew, Com
mander; D. W. Clark, acted as Senior Vice,
in place of Solomon Fitzgerald; C, A. Hill;
Chaplain; 8. C. Johnston, Quarter Master;
8. P. Irwin, Adjutant, and W. W. Watford,
Sergt. Major. Interest in Fost affairs
seems to be increasiong among the mem
bers, as Is evinced by the attendance and
enthusiasm, and the Department of Penn
sylvania seems to he doing everything for
the advancement of the noble order, with
suggestions and statements of the good it
has doue in the past by the promotion of its
patriotio principles such as State and Na
tional legislation, the aid of the order in
securing pensions for worthy comrades,
tombstones, maintaining a commlitnlon on
pensions at Waebiugton during the sessions
of Congress, at.i many benefits too numer
ous to meution. The duty of each comrade
to try and gather in the old boys into the
Post is strongly nrged, as well aseucourage
the Sons of Veterans, W. K. C. auxiliary
organizations In their work as the numbers
of the veterans dimiulfh, for the numbers
are growing less, It is officially stated at
the rate of ;i0,000 annually from the active
membership. Peter 8. Llmlell of Co. D,
0th Beg. N. Y , Cav. and a member of
Albert Wetherly Post, No. 128. of Chetlc,
Wis., was duly admitted on a card from
that Post, while G. W. Robinson moved
the relnstalment of Hon. It. n. Crawford
and Daniel Walters, which carried. It is
cheering to the Post that such good mem
bers are coming back and will train with
us in days to come. A committee of three
was appointed, on the announcement of
the death of our late comrade John Uark-
ness Weotworth, to draft resolutions. Com.
Agnew appointed as such, comrades Hill,
Felt and Irwin. The resolution known as
the "Iowa Resolution," or the McCumber
bill was read, which proposes by its terms
to pension all ex-soldiers who have attained
the age of 68 years at the rate of $20 per
month was read, and on motion of Clark
and seconded by Robinson, 'it was unani
mously adopted ,said paper to be sent to the
Dept. of Pa., from every Post In the State.
This law is a good one, as comparatively
few reach 75 years, while a large propor
tion who do reach it soon get their final
muster out and derive but little benefit from
the law. The following Darned comrades
were appointed a committee of general ar
rangements for Memorial Day: Irwin,
Clark and Robinson, their duty being of a
geueral character, conferring with the W,
R. C, No. M7, engaging speakers, attend-
ng to the muHic, arranging program, etc.
A general order aud circular was read con
cerning the 42 d State encampment of the
Q. A. R. at Erie, Pa , on June 2, 3, and 4,
which will be a magnificent affair accord
ing to the program. The number of the
comrades and their friends, who will go to
this encampment at the, "Gem City of the
Lakes," will be large indeed, as R. R. fare
has been reduced on all lines to 2 rents a
mile going and returning good until June
8, and R. K agents will be Instructed ac
cordingly. While hotel rats will be rea
sonable ranging from l ro SI per day, or
rooms at SO oents per day at several good
hotels and boarding houses, and bourd
where you please, according to the Eu
ropean plan. It is rarely that the State
encampment meets so near us, and when
the lime comes crowns win go to that His
toric place. A detailed program for Me
morial Day will be announced later.

Batter Carries the Child a Mile to a
Hospital Team Will Pay For
Funeral.
Pittsburg, May 5. Baseball claimed
its first victim of the season Sunday
afternoon when Charles Leebove,
nged 6. of 2219 Webster avenue, ex
pired at the rassavnnt hospital of
conciisKlon of the brain as the result
of being hit In the head by a batted
ball while watching a game at
Chaunrey street and Bedford avenue
Saturday afternoon.
The youngster, with about 100
other spectators, was watching a game
when a ball which was knocked foul
by Ralph Motts struck the boy with
terrific force and he fell to the ground
unconscious.
Motts was the first one at the boy's
side. Seeing how badly the young
ster was hurt, he raised him o l.'.s
shoulders and carried him to the hos
pital, almost a mile away.
Then Motts returned to Ms home,
changed his clothes and retar:id to
the hospital, where he lingered by the
boy's bed until the end came.
The father of the dead boy is a
cripple 'and the family is in poor cir
cumstances, and Motts told the moth
er that he and hlH companions will pay
the expenses of burial.
CARRIAGE HIT BY TRAIN.
JeBsop Officials Have Narrow Escape
While Crossing Tracks.
Washington, Pa., May 5. Three offi
cials of the Jessnp steel company had
a narrow escape from death Sunday
morning when a carriage In which
they were riding was demolished by a
switch engine on the Chartlers branch
of the Pennsylvania railroad.
The Injured are V. F. Wagner of
New York, vice president; George L.
Bishop of Boston, auditor, and Jame9
Warren, general manager of the local
plant, whose home Is In Washington.
The New York and Boston men had
been In Washington several days In
specting the Jessop plant, and were
returning to the railroad station when
the accident occurred. Bishop and
Wagner escaped Beilous injury by
Jumping. Warren was pinned be
neath the wreckage and was painfully
hurt.
"I shall snub him," declared Ray,
vindictively. "I hate 'lions.' " She
sniffed with disdain, and glaneed at
the admiring circle about her. "But,
Hay," expostulated Alice, who wai
chairman of the dance committee,
"you know he's heard so much about
you, captnln of the basket ball team,
and all that of course, he'll expect
you to dance with him at least
twice." Alice did not want tha
guest of honor to find the dance
lucking In any respect. Ray tossed
her head. "I shall not dance with
him at all, she said, grimly; and
everyone knew that she meant what
she said.
It was an unusual thing for a
girl to do to refuse In advance to
meet the guest of honor the leader
of the Glee Club, which the girls of
Glover Hall were to entertain at a
dance after enjoying a concert by the
club.
At the concert Ray could not sup
press a look of triumph at Alice.
The leader of the club wai rather
self-important looking. "I knew I
shouldn't like him,' she whispered.
"Emily has talked so much about
him that I'm sIcK of Ms very name.
I always detest people I am expected
to like. I like the second bass,"
designating a good looking but un
important youth In the back row. I
shall nsk to be Introduced to him."
Which she did, after the concert had
been smoothly but hurriedly ren
dered. The second bass smllod wlaely,
and gladly acknowledged his Intro
duction to Ray, the prettiest girl la
the room. "I'll see that you meet
all our best men," he told her, at
once. "Here's Bob, our leader, nowi
I'll get him" But Hay Inter
rupted. "I've left my wrap In the other
hall." she said; "would you mind get
ting It for me?" The danger was
averted for once. A little later,
w hen Ray again met the second basa
he glanced at her card the last
dance had not been taken.
"Now, I'll get Bob for that last
dance," he volunteered. Ray blush
ed, and darted a singularly pleading
glance at him. "I was saving that
dance for well, for you," she stam
mered. "It will make only Ave."
The young man looked very queer,
but seemed grate'ful. "I didn't dare
to ask for It," he murmured. Ray
could only smile, although she was
dying to explain her favor.
But when the laBt dance arrived,
up came the second bass, arm in arm
with the leader of the club. "Bob
hasn't had a dance with you this
evening." Bald he to Ray, "so I've
agreed to abdicate In his favor." He
beamed at Ray and at the leader
like a benevolent godfather. Ray
was furious. She had spent the
Evening dodging the leader; should
s'ne give In now, to be ridiculed by
all the girls who had heard her vow
she would not dance with him?
"I'm very sorry," she said. Ignor
ing the leader. "You see, I'm
rr'illy too tired to dance again. But
of course I wouldn't deprive your
friend of the pleasure. Here's his
sister now," and she eagerly wel
comed Kmily, who appeared at the
minute; then, without a word, Ray
led the crestfallen bass to a cosey
corner. "I may as well explain,"
the said stiffly, when she observed
that her companion was vainly try
ing to stifle his laughter. "As a
matter of fact I had made up my
mind not to dance with your leader.
I've heard so much about him that
I am tired of him. I knew he'd be
pampered and petted and conceited
and would condescend and bend,
and all that, and I just determined
that he shouldn't get a chance to
patronize me. I hate popular men."
She stopped short as she caught
sight of her partner's face. He had
just breath enough to gasp at Emily,
who once more apprrached: "You
tell her," and then he gave way to
his merriment, burying his face la
a pillow.
"Well, Ray," said Emily, "I knew
you'd like Robert when you met him,
but you were bo obstinate I didn't
know what to do. So I told him a'l
about It, how you said nothing would
Induce you to dance with him, and
how you hated popular men, and so
he got one of the other boys, a per
fect swelled head, who was only too
glad of the chance, to take bis place
and lead the club tonight. And It
Was really too funny the way you
singled Robert out, and asked for an
Introduction, and everything."
Emily paused for breath. There
was a Bllence, during which Robert's
mirth suddenly vanished and he sat
up, looking appealfngly and depre
catlngly at Ray.
That young lady hesitated. At
length she smiled. "Anyhow," Bhe
said, "I've told him very plainly my
opinion of popular mpn In general."
"Yes," he assented engerlv. "Ye,
but In particular?"

had been a practising phvsieinn for sev

Bright 's disease and after a thorough
rxumiiintion unit consiiiuinon oy emi
nent HiilValo physicians, his enso was
pronounced incimible and lie was ad
vised to prepare for the closing of his
oarthlv career.
Returning to his home with such sad
iiferiiintiou lie was spurred to make a
desperate analysis ami study of
Bright s disease, with the result tnnt
he formulated a remedy which com
pletely cured him and gave him an ad
ditional lease of thirty years of life, or
until the uge of SH years, ns mentioned
above.
Mr. Wiltse in his practice thereafter
used the remedy with great success. Tho
