SWHKPIXO popularity is predicted for
the graceful, dainty gowns and coat

local shops. In such a distracting variety
of pleasing blends In delicate tones, or
striking combinations of the richer colors.
With the creamy touches of heavy lace,
which so charmingly finish the foulard
costume, nothing could be more attrac

the smart gown or coat suit of this
dainty, clinging texture, which is called
"shower-proof." not because It resists
the penetration of water or rain, but for
the reason that, tinlike the silken fabrics,
it Is not spotted or spoiled, nor Its fresh

which are so frequently features of gar

Summer.
Such a Graceful Thine.
With all the dressy sheen of silk and
the softer satins, the shower-proof fou

ST JONATHAN" TALMER.
CHICAGO. July 24. (Special.) Chicago
may or may not have one of the
most palsying strikes In Its history
after August L Thirteen thousand street
car employes want an Increase of about
11 per cent In wages. They have made
formal demand for It. It Is the optimistic
report of the unions that everybody In
the street-car traffic business will stand
together In this matter surface lines and
el-vated lines. If that be true and a
t-lke come, there will be some early
morning rising to reach down-town of
fices and stores.
The employee are encouraged by the
experiences of the street-car men In Phil
adelphia and Pittsburg. They have per
suaded themselves that, rather than tie
tip the commerce and business of Chicago,
tlie companies will yield and grant 30
cents an hour Instead of the 27 which
they now obtain. Neither side wants a
tiicht and the city hopes that outcome
will be averted.
Something new in the way of argument
l.fti been placed In the hands of the em
ployes. According to the terms of settle
ment of the traction question between the
i ity and the companies. Chicago gets 55
per cent of the net receipts accruing from
traffic Something like $l.fi"0.( a year
is tse amount that goes into the city
treasury. The employes think they ought
to have some of that money and they are
rolng after It. hence the city has a
proprietary Interest In a strike or peace
outcome- The increase asked for will add
to the total pay-roll of the companies
affected, probably upwards of $l.0O.-
This diversion cf some of the profits
..f street-car operation will mean the cut
ting off of a large slice of the city's
revenues. To this the employes answer

designs, and giving graceful charm to
the sweeping lengths of the simpler styles
of the mode.
The first sketch shows a smart striped
silk foulard, finished effectively with suit
novelty braid. Oddly-shaped panels are
set In on the sides of the skirt and at the
back. The silk braid encircles the collar,
gives a smart touch at the shoulders, and
appears again at the bust line. This is
one of the smart new semi-Princess
models, showing the distinctive draped
surplice carried very low, yet escaping
the waist line. The stripes, which are
of a changeable yellow tone against a
changeable dark blue ground, are used
effectively In the design. They meet
slantwise In the skirt and encircle the
arm.
In the three-quarter length sketches at
the top are sttawn three pretty little fou
lard frocks. "The first is In the dainty
crushed-strawberry tone, with translucent
buttons and piping to match.
The second Is of the modish rose color,
strikingly combined with borderings of
black satin and biscuit-colored net. The
long Prncess panel down the front is
worked out in rose and black silk braid.
The third is of a Havana brown pat
tern, with pipings of black satin. In this
frock the returning waist line Is quite
daringly revived, as Is also the hip yoke
recent months and a still larger Increase
to come will Just about hold the city's
share Intact. Fundamentally, the em
ployes say they should have an advance
In wages because the cost of living has
gone up.
Higher Cost of Living.
This higher cost of living is a very real
thing, as grocery, meat-shop and other
bills show. Best data obtainable demon
strate there has been a rise of one-half
of 1 per cent for July over June, of 2
per cent over January and of 7.9 per
cent' over July 1 a year ago. The price
Index is still pointing upward and the
unwelcome promise Is being held out by
merchants that it wiU alTect clothing as
well as table foods.
With the single exception of July 1.
1907. the data now recorded are the high
est ever sef down for this period of the
year. Among the articles affected are
breadstuffs. provisions, fruits, hides and
leather, textiles, oils, building materials
and live stock.
Popular Interest Is widest In the bread
stuffs because these affect every family
directly. Sharply Increasing in price in
the year ending are flour, hogs, mutton,
bacon, smoked hams. lard, butter, coffee,
tea. beans. Decreases are found in po
tatoes, peas, domestic salt, granulated
sugar and beef carcasses. In the season
of plenty some of the vegetables are com
paratively cheap, but fhe saving here is
more than offset by the general upward
trend.
Crane) Knows Orient Well.
Charles R. Crane, the newly appolntej
minister to Chins, is a conspicuous ex
ample of the modern man of wealth who
substituted what he could learn from
books and ,fmm extensive travel for a
formal education In n insttution of
learning. Richard T. Crane, father of
with the f skirt attached that one
hears rumors of from the centers of fash
Ions abroad.
The first of the lower models Is a
charming foulard Princess-model In pale
blue, with mock reveres of dark blue
satin Jeweled In tiny gold spangles and
a cream-toned gimp or rich lace Jeweled
In blue and gold spangles.
The second model Is of a Copenhagen
blue blended pattern, with pipings of
black satin, panellings of black silk braid
and buttons of cut Jet. This Is an ex
tremely smart and rich effect.
The third model Is In a rich brown
foulard, with panelings and empire drape
worked out in brown silk braid, and a
gimp of fine brown net. I-rfirge polka
dots In a deep cream tone give a smart
touch of contrast to the otherwise all
brown effect.
Many charming combinations of foulard
and Oriental nets are noted In the show
ings of the exclusive local outfitting es
tablishments. Particularly effective are
the, Oriental nets of square mesh, em
broidered or Jeweled in greens or red
and gold. These nets are used princi
pally for gimps and sleeves and for Inset
panellings. The modish catawba shade,
with tracings or scrolls of black, is among
the most popular of the foulard offer
Ings.
the appointee and founder of Crane &
Co.. which employs 6000 men, spends most
of his spare time writing excoriations of
the modern methods of education in the
universities of the country. He believes
these Institutions are a "tittle worse than
useless in that they do not properly fit
men for the practical tasks of life.
Whether Charles R. Crane personal
ly espoused this idea of his father or
not. It Is true that his formal educa
tion ended with the public schools.
Happliy he had keen powers of obser
vation, a hungry desire to learn of
things and peopies by seeing them at
close range and the money necessary to
take him to them. Thereby he gath
ered a fund of information rarely ac
quired even In these days of globe-trotting.
He has given particular attention
to things Oriental, foraging to unfre
quented provinces In Russia and China,
mingling with all grades of Oriental
society and making profound study of
what he observed.
Mr. Crane's appointment ought to be
of particular interest to the people of
the Pacific Coast. He Is thoroughly
In sympathy with the movement to
make a large place for American goods
In the Chinese market. He is a hard
headed business man to whom prac
tical things appeal more strongly than
the niceties of diplomacy, but he also
is a man of tact and poise who probably
can be depended on to meet any emer
gency in his posC

Since the defrauding of Mrs. Janjes
A. ratten out of a big sum for "de
luxe" books, some interesting light has
been thrown upon the ways of the plot
ters and the harvest of gold they
garner. Among the women of wealth
who. have fallen prey to the allure-
meats of "de luxe" editions are Mrs.
Mary J. Merinod, of St. Louis; Mrs. J.
R. Hoxie and Mrs. W. F. Wolfner, of
Chicago; Mrs. A. I. Fort, of Lacon,

Kalb. III. As Indicating the enormous
percentage of profit. It Is said that an
edition of Dickens In SO volumes was
purchased for $150 a set, was recon
structed and put on sale at the tidy
sum of 1 25,000 or as much thereof as
the expert salesman could get.
In the Dickens" de lure case the 30
books were taken apart and rebound into

were added, as well as a few copies of
original letters from Dickens. The re
modeling probably brought the cost of
each set up to $500. That left consider
able leeway for profit on a $15,000 sale.
A few sets of the Holloway edition of
Shakespeare were cleverly doctored, the
SO volumes being made Into 40, whicb were
illuminated. In colors. For the original
flyleaf another was put In, giving an Im
pression that the books were from the
private library of Sir Henry Irving. For
her set Mrs. Patten, wife of the wheat
king, paid $22,000. Mrs. Hoxie - Is said
to have argued the agent down to $19,000.
The actual cost of each set to the venders
Is estimated at $750.
One wealthy woman was persuaded to
pay $12,000 for a "Life of Napoleon," on
the representation of the salesman that
the Mayor and city officials were very
anxious to have a oopy for the city li
brary, but had not the funds with which
to buy It. The set now reposes In a glass
case, a "white elephant" on the hands of
the librarian.
Gift for Police on Fourth.
How three Chicago policemen profited
ty the "safe and sane Fourth" Is told
In a letter to a local paper. A poor Ger
man woman who earns her living at the
washtub since the death of her husband,
has a 16-year-old son of good habits,
employed In a suburb at $3 a week and
board. . The boy- came Into the city to
pass the holiday. Ignorant of the "safe
and sane" ordinances, he brought forth
a revolver belonging to his brother-ln-law
and discharged It once in celebratior.
The lad was arrested and taken to a
police station. A hearing was set for the
next day. It was his first offense, and
both the boy and his mother were greatly
frightened.
The next day three policemen met the
boy and a relative and told them the case
ought to be taken to "a higher court."
With that the boy became erased with
fear. The policemen then, according to
the letter, said If they were paid $6 each
the case would not be taken up. The
money was paid. The boy was fined $5
and costs. He also was ooliged to pay
$10 to a lawyer who had volunteered his
services. Altogether the price of the
boy's one shot was $36. A brother-in-law
paid It for him, and now the hard-working
mother Is wearing out her hands try
ing to pay back the money. She makes
$2 a day at best, hence it' will "take a
week of work at the tub to settle for the
"melon" cut by the guardians of the law.
The man who writes the letter ventures
to express the view that the policemen
had no right to take the money. And
as there are no protesting voices the
motion seems to be carried unanimously.
Says Christ Will Go to Chicago.
William T. Stead, the famous London
editor and publicist, once wrote a book
called "If Christ Came to Chicago." What
he said was not complimentary to the
town, nor was It wide of the truth. He
will have a chance at a companion book
or "follow-up" If the leaders of the Union
Bible Class are right In their prophecies.
They have read their Bibles in a way that
convinces them Christ will be In Chicago
within 1200 days.
H. L. Burnett, leader of the class, has
discovered from scriptural passages that
Christ will come "440 years before the
day of Jehovah" and that "he Is to reign
as high priest for 434 years before the
coming of Jehovah, the Father." With
these figures as a basis he makes the
cajculation that the appearance In the
flesh" must take place within three years.
The followers of Burnette are former ad
herents of the falthof John Alexander
Dowle.
Dosed With Too Much Religion.
Unique among the picturesque court
documents which tell of domestic unhap
piness among the husbands and wives of
Chicago is the bill which James Phillips
wrote for himself In a case In which he
seeks $5000 from Rev. T. F. Dornblaser,
pastor of Grace Evangelical Lutheran
Church, for alienation cf ,v- "Sections

of the preacher. After citing how his
own religious rights were belittled and
trampled upon by his wife at the behest
of her father, and how she persisted In
attending the father's service. Mr. Phil
Hps goes on:
"While & mother's love was being
lavisued on the dusky children of the
jungle and the ebony tribes of the
Fiji Islands and messages and love
and devotion were being- dispatched to
the wilds of Africa, w-here the fierce
and naked savages roam, plaintiff was
condemned to wander in public parks,
meekly poshing a baby carriag-e.
"Plaintiff further avers that when
the defendant came to Chicago to live
and to preach, he thought It would
contribute to his domestic happiness
to join hfs church. Defendant quickly
had plaintiff Immersed into the ram
ifications of the church militant. He
was -made secretary of two new or
ganizations, and the defendant herein,
seeing a rare chance of easing up In
his pastoral duties, now that his son-in-law
was within his spiritual as well
as domestic sway and command, quick
ly relieved himself of the task of Sun
day school teacher and shifted this
task on plaintiff's back, although plain
tiff was a very green band at this
work.
"Plaintiff can partly account for the
loss of his wife's affections on the score
that he was not sufficiently enthusi
astic regarding the preaching and
moral influence .of her father. On one
specific occasion, as plaintiff and his
family were seated at the dinner table
after the morning- sermon, plaintiff's
wife exclaimed:
" TDidn't papa whoop up her up this
morning Didn't you see him throw
his cuff off In his vehement denuncia
tion of the liquor traffic?'
"I ventured to remark that he was
paid for whooping her up, and from
that day I was a doomed man, so far
as my influence in my own home went.
"When Mr. Immaculate seats him
self at the head of the table and Miss
Hysteria in close proximity, with Miss
Petulance and Mr. Cynic In attendance
to reinforce, there Is small, chance for
Mr. Meek. Miss Hysteria amply fills
the role of Cassandra, and when the
plaintiff, Phillips, appeared before such
a gathering of virtue and wisdom he
was quickly overwhelmed between the
Scylla and Charyhdis of the preacher's
conclaves. Nine long and weary
months plaintiff has been constrained
Sets 10,000 Ems an Hour
Invention of a Michigan Mechanic; Requires No Heat for Melting Metal;
Is Operated by Two Men.
NEARL.T every, one is more or less
familiar with the typesetting ma
chines that are in daily use in our
large newspaper and printing offices,
which cast the type from molten metal
as the machine is operated. To build a
machine which would set ready-made
type has been the ambition of a number
of Inventors for some years past. The
most recent solution of the problem Is
embodied In a machine invented by A. G.
Baker, of Albion, Mich.
The machine has a capacity of setting
10 lines of type per minute of ordinary
column width, or technically speaking.
10,000 ems an hour, as against a record
of 6000 to 7000 ems on the older ma
chines. The upright portion of the machine Is
called the magazine and consists of 90
channels containing the different letters
of the alphabet, punctuation marks and
other characters used in printing. Each
channel Is Just wide enough to contain
the character allotted to it without allow
ing it any more room than it requires to
slide up and down easily. The channels
are entirely independent of one another,
so that any of them can be removed from
the machine if desired without disturb
ing the others.
The first channel at the right is but
eight inches long, while each succeeding
one is one-eighth of an inch longer, so
that the lower end of the magazine is In
clined from right to left, the top being
level.
The type is set by pressing the keys
on the keyboard, as in other typesetting
machines. When a key is pressed, it op
erates a plunger, which enters its cor
responding channel from the rear, and
pushes the lower piece of type out Into
the inclined guide plate in front, whence
it is carried by gravity to the assembling
point at the lower left-hand corner of the
machine. The guide-plate is so tilted that
those characters which are farthest from
the assembling point will travel fastest
when released from the magazine, be
cause of the greater Inclination of the:
plate at the end. while those nearer travel
more slowly. Consequently, all arrive at
the assembling point at the same time.
This enables one to operate the machine
very rapidly without the danger of trans
posing letters.
As the letters reach the angle In the
gulde-plata at the lower left-hand corner,
a sort of escapement action, actuated by
a spring concealed in the base, and op
erated by the depression of the keys,
places them on their feet in line ready for
removal at such time as may be desired.

Plot of Wool Dealers Exposed.
Chieagoans have just awakened to
the fact that the wool dealers' plot to
raise the price of wools was hatched
secretly at a meeting in this city last
October. Now they are warned by
local merchants that the price of men's
suits next Spring will be sharply .ad
vanced as a result of that plot unless
some good angel intervenes to prevent.
Fall goods were purchased long enough
ago to escape the Increased schedule
of prices, hence there will be no ma
terial advance in the cost of a suit of
clothes In the Autumn, hut for the
Spring the prospect is held out that
a suit which coBt 18 this Spring will
go up to $23 next Spring. ,
Henry C. Lyton, head of a big local
retail house dealing In men's cloth
ing said: "The prices on wool are now
so high that the woolen manufacturers
have advanced the quotations 35 to
46 cents a yard on serges alone. On
the higher grades of woolens they have
added 50 cents a yard. This means
that the average American working
man will have to pay from J2.50 to
95 more for a suit than he does now."
Information of this sort, so closely
affecting the pocketbooks of voters,
has amazingly quickened popular vigi
lance on the tariff doings in Wash
ington and has given President Taft's
declared policy for a revision down
ward a cordial reception here. Con
sumers somehow expect the pronun
ciamento of the President will turn
awry the plans of the wool men and
the woolen meJiufacturers. This is one
instance In wt ich there seems to be a
hearty commui ity of sentiment in the
ranks of both capital and labor in
Chicago. The merchants are firmly
set against a situation that would com
pel a readjustment of prices upward.
It always causos unpleasantni-ss in
dealings between merchant and cus
tomer, they say, and many refuse to
understand why the price advance is
necessary, while others cannot under
stand It. Other thjngs being equal,
they would rather see the whole price
structure lean the other way. A lowering-
scale of values breeds good hu
mor and makes merchandising: a com
parative pastime.
features is the distributing mechanism,
which operates backward and forward
across the top of the magazine, similar
In action to the carriage of a typewriter.
This part of the machine contains a num
ber of channels, like those of the maga
zine, except that they are much shorter.
In each channel of the distributor a line
of type is placed, and as the keys are
pressed In the setting of a new form, the
distributing device moves backward and
forward one space at a time. At the
top of each channel of the magazine,
and extending about one-third of the
way across the opening, are steel strips
called "wards." Each ward has a num
ber of protuberances upon Its surface,
corresponding In number and shape to
the nicks on the side of each type char
acter. The ward and Its corresponding
type character will fit each other per
fectly, but neither will fit any other
except its own compartment. As the
distributor moves across the top of the
magazine, each piece of type is tested
against the wards until it finds its
corresponding ward, and falls into its
own channel. In this way the type is
distributed without any extra effort
on the part of the operator, and coinci
dent with the setting of a new form.
The machine has been designed to set
all standard sizes and styles of type.

The fact that the machine requires
