Tuesday.
LONDON, Oct. 17— The trial of
Or. H. II Crippen for th*> murder of
his wife. Belle Klmore, the music hall
singer will be|;n to-morrow- morning
at 10. Id in Old Bailey Court.
Of such great importance is the
trial considered that Lord Chief Jus
tice A hormone will preside. King's
Counsel Muir will be in charge of
the prosecution, assisted by Barrister
Humphreys, who appeared for the
crown iu the preliminary hearing in
Bow Street Police Court.
Barrister A. A. Tobin, assisted by
Barrister Huntley Jenkins, have been
retained to represent Crippen. Bar
rister F. K. Smith, usaluted by Bar
rister Harrington Ward, will appeur
for Miss Kthel Clare Leneve, Crtp
pen'a typist, who has been indicted
on the charge of being an accessory
after the fact.
Solicitor Newton, who has looked
after the interests of Crippen and
Mlaa Leneve since their arrest, will
prompt the barristers for the prison
ers. In England a solicitor practices
only in the civil courts, barristers rep
-eaenting prisoners In the criminal
•ourts. where the form of procedure
Is materially diflerent.
To .flak Acquittal.
It la generally believed that the de
fense will demand that Lord Chjet
lustlce Alverstone is to Instruct the
lury to acquit Crippen as soon as the
TOW'n ha* rested on the ground that
luffletent evidence has not been ad
jured to convict. This will necessi
tate a reply on the part of the crown
>efore the Lord Chief Justice an
nounces his decision. It is not believ
ed Lord Alverstone will accede to the
igjmand of the defense, preferring to
illow the case to go to the jury.
It ia expected that th<^ trial will
mat a week.
The trial of Miss Leneve will follow
Jrlppen’s immediately. If Crippen Is
acquitted Miss Leneve will probably
be freed.
It Is reported that both prisoners
are cool and condent and evince no
anxiety. ’ i
, Thousands of persona have applied
for seats in the court room, but all
have been refused; Only the presa

Last Seen Boarding Train for

At last th« police believe they ha\e

; by drinking carbolic acid more than
one week ago, and whose body haa
i »ince lain unclaimed at Woody’s un
j dertaklng establishment on Broad
I Street. The police think the man Is
an lnsan. soldier who escaped from
the Washington asylum near the na
tional capital Saturday. September ■».
The soldier was an Inmate of the
ward for the criminal Insane. lie
lost his reason w hile serving his coun
try in the campaign against the little
brown men of the Philippines. One
dav this soldier shot a romrade-ln
artns— shot him in the hack and kill
ed him. For this he waa court-mar
tialed and sentenced to life impris
onment at the military prison at Fort
l.ea\enworth. „
About three years ago this same
soldier attacked another prisoner with
a knife. Then the government au
thorities said he was insane and aent
him to the Waahington asylum.
, After his Incarceration the soldier
began to Improve, and recently seem
ed to have recovered hts mental facul
ties to such an extent that he was
allowed the liberty of the grounds.
Arrangements were being made, too,
to send him bat k to prison.
Knowing this, the soldier struck
down a guard Saturday one Week ago,
dashed across the lawn, out of the
gates and escaped. Since that time
the asylum authorities were unable
to find any trace of him beyond the
fact that he had been seen boarding
a train for the South.
It Is believed that he came to
Richmond and ended his life here.

New Mail Edition.
From this date, The Richmond Virginian, will, in addition to the three editions already
printed, issue another edition in time to mail it on the trains leaving Richmond at 3 P. M. This
edition can be sent to all stations on the Norfolk & Western between Petersburg and Norfolk
and Petersburg and Lynchburg, and to such stations on the Southern Railway between
Richmond and Durham as have postal serv ice.
If any of our subscribers who are getting the State Edition desire to be served with this 3 P. M.
edition, and receive this edition of The Virginian in the evening, instead of the State Edition in
the morning, they will please write at once stating their wish and the change will be made.
With this addition to our service, The Virginian will be printing four editions, two of which are
prepared with special reference to our city subscribers, and two with special reference to our out

the 3 P. M. edition of The Virginian, and those who desire the morning service can secure the
State Edition, as heretofore.
The growth of our circulation both in the city and in the State at large has been so great in
recent weeks, that we feel constrained to make public acknowledgement of our thanks for th-i
support which we are receiving.

SHIRK PARK. PHILADELPHIA.
October IT.—Surrounded by 28,000
baseball bus* and under conditions of
»iiffl<-ient Intensity and excitement to
make the seen* dramatic, the Phila
delphia and Chicago Cub* fought out
the Aral battle for th* championship
of the whole world and the inter
stellar spaces this afternoon at Bhtbe
Park.
The crowd was the greatest that
ever gathered In this sober city and
from the noise and palpitating en
thusiasm one wondered how it was
that Philadelphia got her name of
being—well not so very fast. It was
the biggest baseball day Phllly has
e\er known and she seemed to ap
preciate the honor. The stands,
i pavllllons. boxes and bleacher* were
I crowded while the outfield with the
! exception of a gap In centre field
which served as an entrance and exit,
resembled the interior of a subway
car in rush hours.
The circus seats failed to arrive
and 8,000 outfield overflow to stand
through the afternoon.
Welcome Cuba.
It was a fairly impartial crowd, and
i when Chance led his men on the
field at 1:15, the visitors received a
tremendous ovation. Owing to the
crowd in the outfield, ground rules
were necessary, which allowed two
base* on a hit beyond the ropes. In
i the preliminary practice, Jimmy I>y
I gert pitched to the Athletics and
■King" Cole warmed up the <’ul> bat
! ters. Theer was no deny ing that the
i Cubs appeared more at their ease than
the home boys. From the way they
j handled themselves It might have been
poor old Boston they were playing tn
1 stead of the sterling Mack men and
a regular game In roldseason Instead
of the get-away In the greatest series
' of baseball season.
The residents along Twentieth
street made enough money off the
game not to have to worry for .a
while over ihe high cost of living.
; They let out their roofs, porches and
j front rooms at a dollar per. It was
j a great day for the photographers
who were allowed to roam the field
until Just before the game began. One
of the most affecting scenes presented
to the view of the cameras was
Chance and Captain Davis, of the
Athletics. In a loving handclasp. What
was in their hearts, however, the cam
era* couldn't disclose.
The crowd in left field was *o close
that any kind of hard swat meant
two bases.

That a new danger of the far
reaching Importance t<> the laundry
man has arisen within tIt»• last two
or ttiree year* mu the declaration of
President Kdwtn S. Purdy In hi* an
nual address before the I.aundr;.men's
National Association which he read
Monday morning when nearly 2.000
members assembled in twenty-seventh
annual *■ 'imn at the Jefferson hotel.
‘‘I rttfor ’’ ho rlo. lot .1.1 tlt.c Inn.
denc.v of legislatures to pass laws
limiting the ages of laundry employes,
prescribing the number of working
hours, the restriction of machinery,
■ regulations_of -hygiene arid .general
working conditions In laundries and
other places of female employment. It
■ Is hut safe to say that while sortie of
! this legislation Is entirely wholesome
land proper in the Intel'esls of public
health, there Is, nevertheless, consider
' aide danger that such legislative
enactments will at times go beyond
■ ihelr original Intentions. Ill-advised
i legislation will result to the detriment
!and financial injury of every Industry
! concerned. There is hut one way to
protect ourselves against such adverse
legislation, and that is by concerted
'and united action on the part of ail
the laundrymen within each particu
lar State of the t'nion. We have
quite a few examples of the truth of
this statement, for laundrymen of the
States of Illinois, New York, < >hio and
; perhaps a few others have In that
j manner been able to prevent un
reasonable and Injurious legislation in
those respective States.
"If it were for no other reason
than to be ready for such an emer
gency. I am of the opinion that every
laundrytnan belonging to a State as
sociation would be well repaid by the
protection thus afforded to his flnan
1 clal Interest.-.
Prices Maintained.
"General laundry conditions during
! this past year based upon personal
I observation have been above the aver
age. but were at times characterised
by unusual fluctuations. Steady prices
on the whole have been maintained,
and aome slight advances in certain
localities, especially on collars and
household linen; but. unfortunately,
It should also be noted that breaks
have occurred In certain localities. It
* Is generally conceded that laundry
I expenses are steadily rising and are
. materially affecting the profits of our
business. We, an an association, are
precluded from entering into anv
proposition establishing prices to bo
charged for laundry work. State as
sociations are similarly situated* and
the matter can be C -t handled by
local associations
"it Is. however, within the scope of
■ this association as an educational fae
; tor to impress upon our members the
; fact that prices for laundry work must
be rigidly In accord with the prin
clples of the cost of production. Hul
letins upon this particular subject
havd from time to time been dlstrtb
, uted among our members, and while
some of them may have deemed this
an unnecessary expense, It was the
Judgment of your officers that only
by continuous hammering away at
this topic those of us who may be
weak might be shown the error of our
way's.
Need for Kdurniion.
"There Is still greater need for a
campaign of ,edU' atlon among the
j general public with reference trf' a
'proper understanding of the modern
steam laundry business
"We are ail aware of the remark
able lack of knowledge on the pari
of the people, and also, unfortunate
ly, on the part of the public press
whether intentionally or not, concern
ing the real status of the steam laun
dry of the present time and the greal
Improvements which have been niadt
in th« lrtnnrirv Kit t, ***■<• 1 ♦ i -
less for rue to state that sm’h lack
of understanding results first In a
disinclination to patronize the laun
dries; second, in the lack of discrimi
nation between sanitary and unsani
tary establishments, ami. third, in un
justly blaming the launderer fm
things over which he has no control.
If the proper knowledge could be
conveyed to the general public, it Is,
therefore, logical to sav that laun
dries would be imre generally pa
tronized. filthy and unsanitary wash
eras could no longer successfully
compete with us. and, to use a well
known expression of our brother from
Connecticut. 'the iniquities of the
manufacturer would be no longer vis
ited upon the launurymen."
Wants Permanent Quarter*.
President Purdy announced the es
tablishment of a permanent business
office for the association, and in doing
so sain.
The laundry industry is continually
evolving from year to year, large in
vestments running into thousands of
dollars are constantly made, and it
is but iair to say that if the present
strides are maintained, the laundry
business will ultimately be recognized
as one of the really big enterprises of
the country. 1 have in mind Hie es
tablishment of a permanent business
office for this association, to be in
charge of a regular employe or offi
cer, as tlie Cits.; may he. Such a pian
would do uwh) with the yearly chang
ing and shifting of our office records
and would provide headquarter's for
the accumulation of literature of in
terest to the laundry industry, aprt
would, in time, become a clearing
house for much useful knowledge and
information concerning our business.’'
