Secretary ."Wilson, of the department
of agriculture, concluded ft recent ad?

nn anecdote, says the Washington

"1 URed to know n clergyman, he
aajd, "who owned a fine farm, nnd
ran It on very economical lines, so
that 11 paid splendidly.
"Sometimes, though. 1 am afraid,
this good clergyman carried his econ

"Thus, ns he was taking his us-tial
dally stroll over his rich, broad acres
ono morning, he saw a ploughninn,
-while the horses rested. Hitting on the
handle of 'his plough. It occurred to
the minister that he paid his- plough

nnd he stopped ana said, gently, but
reproachfully:
" 'James, wouldn't II be a good plan
for yon to have a pair of pruning
shears here to bo cutting u few bushes
along the fence whllo tbo horses are
taking their ?bort rest?'
"James returned the minister's se?
rious gaze, and In the samo gentle, yot

NKW YORK. April 1.?Summon*
and complaint In a suit for I10O.OOO.
brought by Miss Florence H. Schenck,
against Charles II. Wilson, manager of
Alfred O. Vnuderblll'a string of rac?
ing horses, were Mod today by Duvl.l
Welch, of :!f? Nassau alreet, counsel
for Miss Schenck, who Is under ago.
Is suing through her guardian. Milton
A. Wlllmi'iii, who was appointed by
ih? court on December 21, last;
Miss Schenck charges that Wilson,
under a promise of marriage, lured
her away from her home nt Norfolk.
Va? In October, 1900, following which
he brought her *o the city, where they
lived together as husband and wife.
Subsequently they went lo London,
where Wilson had charge of Mr. Van
derbllt'a horses at the international
Horse Show In that city June last.
Rotumtllg here, Miss Schenck said.
he discovered thai Wilson was al?
ready married.
The complaint sots forth that on
October 27, H'tlfi. Miss Schenck prom?
ised to marry Wilson, after he hud
proposed to her.
Were to Marry in Washington.
"October 28, 1906," the complaint
nays, "the plaintiff, at the request of
the defendant, mid relying on bis
promise to marry her. accompanied
him to Washington. D. O, to be mar?
ried. Arriving Ihoro, the defendant
Uten nnd there failed to marry tho
plaintiff, nlthotigh she was ready and
willing to marry the defendant. But
the defetidnnt requested her to accom?
pany 'him to the city of New York
and promised that If she would ac?
company him there he would marry
her on their arrival. She agreed to
the postponement, believing he would
carry out his promise,
"On arriving in New York tho de?
fendant, at the plaintiff's request, re?
fused and railed to marry her."
Said He Was Single.
Miss Schenck then goes on to nl
lego that at the time Wilson promise 1
to marry her ho represented himself
I a? n single man, and that she, belley
I lug It to be true, nnd relying on his
: promises, left her father's home.
I "That, by reason of Ihn facts hero
l in alleged." the complaint, continues.
? "the plaintiff has suffered damage to
liter feelings, keen mortlllcatlon, insult,
Indignity, shame, ana humiliation; has
sufferod greatly In her reputation, has
bocome estranged from her relatives
j and friends, has received great and
I unpleasant notoriety nnd has been
Injured In mind and body, and has
.been damaged in the sum of $100,000.''
I Wilson has signified, through hi*
counsel, his Intention to defend the
j action, but so far has not Hied an au
Iswer to Miss Schenck's allegations.
STATE LEAGUE WILL
REVISE THE SCHEDULE
Protests From Several Cities so Vig?
orous That They Will Have to
be Heeded.
I 'RICHMOND, VA., April 1.?A.spo
elal meeting of the Virginia State
League magnates is to bo called, prob?
ably for next Saturday, for the pur?
pose of reopening the quostlon of a
schedule, serious flnws having been
discovered in the schedule adopted.
Tho schedule decided upon by the
promolers nt their recent meeting was
that substituted by Charles- Shaffer,
or Ronnoke, formerly manager on the
Richmond team. This schedule, for
Instance, called for a serious of games
between Danville and Richmond to bo
played In Danville on May 18, 19 and
20. On the three following days. May
21, 22 and 23. Dauvllle is scheduled to
i come lo Richmond for a series of
' games.
Richmond Is then scheduled to turn
right around and go back to Dan?
ville for three more games, making
nine straight games In all. The same
conditions will exist In Norfolk, Nor?
folk and Portsmouth being scheduled
to get here In this way for several se
rlea of gnmoa. It. is declared that
these Haws, with other*, will be ruin?
ous lo the game.
.lack Wells, president of the leagoo.
is In receipt of formnl protests from
both Norfolk nnd Portsmouth, with
I Richmond concurring. Danville will
. doubtless Join In also. Tho reopeulng
of tho schedule matter will probably
mean that an entirely different sched?
ule will ho ndopled. The protests re
colved are vigorous and explicit.
The date for the meeting has not
yet been decided upon, but President
Wells stated today that ho would
probably Issue a call to the magnates
. for Saturday.
He Got What He Needed.
"Nino yenrs ago it looked as if my
time had come." says Mr. C. Farthing,
of Mill Creek, Ind. Ter. "I was so
run down that life hung on a very
I slender thread. It was then my drug?
gist recommended Electric Bitter*. I
bought a bottle and I got what I need?
ed?strength. I nnd one foot In tho
grave, but Electric Ulttora put It back
on'the turf ngnlu, and I'vo been well
ever since." Sold under guarantee at

"wear the separate jacket.
Garment Will Qo a Feature of the
Coming 8eaion.
Quito a feature of the coming sea?
son's fashions will be tho separate
tailor mndo cloth Jacket, made for
wearing with odd aklrti and simple
frocks In light weight cloth, pongeo,
etc. For some scasone past It has uot
bean faoblonable to weur separata
Jackots except of silk or lace. Tho
Jucketa havo all been mude to match
tho skirts, and when n coat of differ?
ent material bus been used It bus been
u tup coat quite long, or at lenst three
quarters, and loose In build, whether
made of cloth or silk.
But the now fashions show a very
dellnlto place for the tight-fitting sop
urato tuilor-piade coat of cloth, such
aa Is shown, a ttght-littlng cutaway
with very little trimming, and thut
little of the most severely tailored
order.
White cloth Is most attractive In
tbeuo separate tailored skirts. It may
ho used with stitching or braid of tho
same material for Its only garniture,
but tho smartest cunts have collar
and cuffs of black velvet. The only
style of coat which Is most success?
ful In this severe dovelopmeut Is a
double-breaatcd cutaway, not very
long, and having only a slightly cut?
away effect, not sharply shaped at the
bottom only, but curving beautifully
from the top of the front to tb* bot?
tom.
A little braid la used In conjunction
with the velvet on the collar of the
coat, but on many of the most attrac?
tive models the braid Is not otherwise
employed.
ADVISES QIRL8 TO STRETCH.
It Cures Plmplea, Red Noae and Dis?
content, Says Discoverer.
"Stretch, glrlB, and be bountiful," la
the latest cry ot health agitators.
"Again stretch, stretch, stretch aud
be happy and good. The secret of the
Joy of dally living la dally and hourly
stretching."
Just how fur the new Stretch system
Is to go Is not known, but according to
last reports from tbo front tho limit
boa not been reached. Stretching is
the latest fad advanced by a fomal*
stretcher, who expounded her theories
to a number of women who were anx
loua to be beautiful yet happy. This
new method is guaranteed by Its dis?
coverer to cure dyspepsia, discontent,
red noso, blues, humpback, bad lum?
per, run down at the heel, und It will
change your mind after you have been
rehearsing what to say to bubby
when ho comcB homo late. In fact, at
all crucial moments of Ufa remember
ths slogan: "Stretch!"
Chocolate Cure for Thinneaa.
There Is a new cure for oxcosslve
thinneaa for which many woman are
going to an obscure little town In Oer
many. It seems to be a nervo cure aa
well aa a chocolate cure, for the peo?
ple tuklng ths cure are out of doors
moat of time enjoying the scenery
aad exerclalug a little. Then the pa
tlenta cat chucolate?lota of It?and
all the time.
Tho secret of the success of the
treatment seems to be In the fact that
the people become stout in tho right
places. The urmu become plump and
round and the neck and buet fill out
gracefully. The boat part of It all la
that the cure can be taken nt home
Just as well and It la strange that
people will travel so far out of their
way to get auch a simple treatmont.
The treatmont consists Biroply of eat?
ing chocolate all the time and drink?
ing tho beverage In largo quantttloa.
Ornamental Lace Berthaa.
For the satin princess gown or the
satin separate wuist there are beauti?
ful oriental laco berthas of exorbitant
prices or cheaper oneB of beauty at
much less cost. Some of tho finest
lace ones are aa sheer as cobweba
and abow a touch of oriental work in
tinsel effect. The metallic, arrange?
ment, when good, Is attractive and
really Imparts a decided touch of ele?
gance to the rich lace. The filet
berthas with rich point lace edgou are
fragile and look their best when used
decoratlvoly upon soft cbtffona of dull
oate tint
PIIHAv Tubing.
"I want some of the cheapest and
widest pillow tubing you havo!" ex?
claimed tho woman, leaning over the
linen counter. "You see, I got thl*
wide tubing to covor my beat'dreeaes.
All one has to do Is to sew up one
eud and put a drawstring in the other.
Our houae la duaty and this lu the
only way I can protect my clothes
from the furnace dual and gaa ac?
cumulation." The idea certainly Is a
good one, for often a dress will look
Old when not kept perfectly clean, and
a whole suit could be slipped lu the
tubing and kept perfectly clean.
EIGHTEEN PER CENT. OF
RAILROAD MEN ARE OFF
Nearly Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Railroad Men Now
Idle in This Country.
(By Associated Press)
CHICAGO. ItiLv, April 1.?On seven
teen representative railroads of the
United Slates constituting one-third j
of tho mileage of the country the totai
number of employes Is 18 per cent,
smaller than on June ,'|0, 1907. This
statement is based on nulhorallve
figures Just obtained by the Chicago
General Managers' Association for in?
formation of Its members. The rail?
roads from which reports were re
celved traverse practically all sec?
tions of the country and the figures
are said by ralldoad managers to be
talrely typical of railway conditions
generally.
The percentage of men laid off Is
much the same among; tho lines run?
ning from, IB to 2!i per rent, of the
number employed last June.* In one
or two nlstnncea the figure is larger.
The total mileage of the seventeen
roads, amounts to 71.S72 miles. On
.lime 30, 1908. the number of men em?
ployed on these roads aggregated
581.713. Ar present the number Is
470.917. n decrease of I04.7GC or 18
per cent. A consideraMy greater
number than this have actually been
laid off because the number of-em?
ployes In last October was greater
than In June, the time that the pre?
sent conditions are compared.
Eighteen per cent, of all the rail?
road employes In the United Slates
last June was .105.000. There were
approximately forty thousand more
men employed on all the railroads in
October than in duly. Making al?
lowance for this fact the number of
Idle employes at present is probably
in the neighborhood of 346,000.

The
General Demand
of the Well-informed of tho Woild has
always been for a bjmplc, plcusuut und
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; a laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its com?
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex?
cellent combination of SyTup of Figa and
Elixir of Scona, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark?
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given
tho preference by the Well-Informed.
To get its beneficial effects always buy
the genuine?manufactured by the Cali?
fornia Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale
by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
per bottle.
