HUSBAND HAS NEW PLAN NO\ Will Save Until He Owns Tailc Shop and She Will Sew at His Side. The Tabernicks, until they came to th country, not long ago. lived In a Russia ' garrison town, where Tabernick, who is tailor, stitched away on blouses and Sui day frocks for the peasantry and on re< letter days had a chance to sew gold braf on beautl.ul uniforms that went in at ti waist and were grandly padded In ti : chest. Their life was hard, for Tabernlck w? ; generously cursed and poorly paid. Bi | what would you? Russia is Russia an I God rewards His cliosep. Even then there were compensation ; There were the children, with black brea enough for all and with onion soup o feast days and when somebody paid. 1 : winter, too, the river was frozen, wit ; skating room for all. And in summer was never hot, and the breeze that rlj : pled across the grain fields smelled goc ; as it blew through the open door of tto | little shop where the Tabernicks stitche I and stitched and stitched and the blacl I eyed little ones played. America Beckons Them. > Then came the massacres. And one < | those little books printed in Russian an ; Hebrew that the very wise person of tto ; steamship company sent out about thi | time fell into the hands of the Tabernlck ! They read it after the stltchjng was dor ; in the evening, as the children slept, to I the flickering light of a little lamp with > big smell. I "We go. Sarah," said Tabernlck, h ; little work-worn face aglow. "We go 1 ; America, where there is much gold an i we can hold up our heads, with the lltt ! ones. We have saved. And the rlc uncle by Xovima will lend us the rest, ( an Interest." SJx weeks ago the Tabernicks came 1 Washington, the Tabernicks, father an mother, and three little ones, two girls t eight and Ave and a little boy of tw years, and started to live in a two-rooi flat at 958 F street southwest. And Tabei nick got work, at good wages. There wa plenty to eat in the house?bread, whil bread, and onion soup every day, wit milk for the children. No Such Heat at Home. But it was hot?hot with a wet heat ui known In the garrison town where tto river froze solid all winter long and i summer the breeze rippled across tto grain fields. And 8arah, the mothei drooped and was unhappy. And the chi dren cried and would not eat, their bo<] les ablaze from the little red dots c the heat that stinas. Then somebody told Sarah, the mothei of the children's home in the country where it was cool, with meat and pota toes to eat and milk to drink, and wher the children's less might grow sturdy an their cheeks fat and red, like the appl< And she sent them there for days. But the lonesomeness grew worse. Fa Tabernlck was away all day. And sh called them back to her after the rati when the heat had gone. But it cam back again, soon. And the oountry horn would not take the little ones just fo awhile. Yesterday morning at 9 o'clock tMn Tabernlck called the children to her. "Run out and play," she said to th girls of Ave and eight. "Run out am play under the trees where there is shad and the pump is nearby with cool watei Baby and I are going to sleep." Lie Down to Sleep and Beet. And Sarah, with the little boy of tw in her arms, crept into the little fron room. She put the little boy on the flooi turned on tne gas and lay down besid him. He was fretful at first, and cried scratching his little body where the skli was red and angry from the heat tha stings. But he was very little and weal and soon he stopped, for the gas wa filling the room. And a little while late the mother ceased sobbing and lay quiel too, with the baby's head pillowed on he unbounu black hair. Jt was 5 o'clock that afternoon whei Mrx Victor Conroy, who is the wife o a cook in one of the local hotels, heart the eldest Tabernlck girl crying and beg ging her mother and baby brother t wake up. She listened until the cries becaim fainter and strangled. Then, as sh rushed out into the hallway, she noticet the sickening smell of escaping gas. She screamed. A grocer, hurrying b; the house, stopped and bustled inside Between them they carried Mrs. Taber nic< and her baby to the outside aii A IHnrllv npichhnrhnnd rirwtnr ?r?nn ramc A little while later they were both li a clean, white bed at the hospital, ver: eick, but on the road to getting well. "Ah," said Tabernlck to a big, sympa thetic policeman, "I did not know, thought it Just the heat. But I gues not now. My 8arah Is lonesome, home sick for the stitch, stitch, stitch tha we do all day in the little shop a home, where the river is frozen all win ter long and in summer the breeze blow from the grain flelds. "You let her go when she is well, seid her and the little ones to the coun try. By and by I get a shop of m: own and we will stitch, stitch, stitch, al day long together, side 'by side, with th little ones around." So that's the simple little story of th tragedy of the Tabernicks. STEVE ADAMS' TRIAL. Taking of Testimony Begun a' Grand Junction, Col., Today.

The action of the court came as a coraplete surprise. ** The members of the new company s- proudly marched into Armory Hall at 8:30 o'clock last night. Practically every member of the company was present. The men gave a lusty cheer in approbation of >f their victory. 3 They then discarded their coats. After going through the usual military maneuvie ers they marched down King street, where it they drilled. s. Announcement was made by Capt.

Mr. Brent said this morning the injunction was rather sweeping. As soon as Judge Barley returns he will r at once make application to dissolve the " injunction. Mr. Brent further said he . will take the case to the state court of '5 appeals should the lower court decide against him. Attorneys Norton and Boothe have been retained by the new company to look after its interests. In the legal battle to be waged to ie determine who has a right to the use of n the hall, the question of ownership will e be the salient issue. Among other r things the Injunction issued reads: "This injunction is granted because l~ the judge is of opinion that prima facie 1- the said Frank L. Slaymaker, captain as >r aforesaid, is entitled to the possession and use of the said armory building, r. It is not intended by this injunction r, order to determine Anally as to the l- title of said property, but on the face of e the deed, which is filed as an exhibit d with the bill, the title is in the city i. council of Alexandria, Va., in trust for the use and beneAt of the active memir bers of any new military company that e may be hereafter organized and mus- i, tered in in said city, and the judge Is of ~ e opinion that the interests of the public C e require that the prima, facie right Ii r should be carried out until a full hear- T ing upon the merits; and the object of tl i. this Injunction order is to put the said F Frank L. Slaymaker, captain of Come pany G, 70th Regiment or Virginia Vol- t< d unteers, in immediate possession of said M e armory." h; Capt.

He Issued the following statement to his men: C o "An injunction was served upon me d! , this afternoon about 5 o'clock to turn a: over to Frank L. Slaymaker and others c< " our armory. It was too late for our S e attorney to take action, as, the Judge oj has left town. h "This, to me, is a peculiar order. Still, t?
