Aug. 17.-—A memorial service for the late Jzuncs Russell Lowell was held in \Vestminster Abbey. Special seats ‘ Were reserved in the choir for Americans, and among those in attendance was the United States minister, Mr. Lincoln. The ceremony was an impressive one. Arch- deacon Farrnr delivered a glowing tribute to Lowell, as one of the greatest American poets of his generation. “But,” added the speaker, “hewas more than a poet. He had many clalms upon the memory of both the American and the English people. He was one of the sacred unions binding England and Amenca more closely together. He was one of those true Americans to whom the slavcs owed their freedom and 20,000,000 of his fellow subjects their awakened conscience. ' He was loved and his memory will be re- vered by the two mightiest nations of the world.” “’3“; “'hitman’s Tribute. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 17.—The following on the death of James Russell Lowell has been sent by Walt Whitman from his. home in Camden: “Let me send my little word, too, to J. R. Lowell’s memory. .1118 was the true American’s and humanity’s spirit in the light of his own convictions, and he wrought them out faithfully. _ HIS written pages preserve a certain attitude everywhere. As Emerson says: ‘We are, at any rate, beholden to kings and emi- nencies for their grand standard of atmos- phere and manners at suggestion of them.’ ” THEY CHARGE FRAUD. Creditors of William E. Schmertz Say He Was Solvent. PITTSBURG, Aug. 17.—In the United States circuit court Attorneys J. A. Lang« fitt and S. C. McCandless, representing 0. M. Lee and W. F. Moore, of Massachu- setts; Myer Rubber company, of New J er- sey; the New Jersey Rubber company, of New York city; the Fourth National bank, of New York city, and other creditors, ’ filedabill in equity against William E. Schmertz, William Loeflier, Amelia Schmertz, E. M. Quimby, S. Severance, W. H. McCleery, sherifi of Allegheny county, and W. E. Schmerts & Co. After setting forth their claims they state they believe the total indebtedness of W. E. Schmertz & Co. eXceeds the sum of $700,- 000, while the known assets will not ex- ceed $325,000. The plaintiffs charge that the confessed judgments are greatly in ex- cess of any actual indebtedness owning by Schmertz to his relatives or friends, and that the same are collusive and fraudulent and for the purpose of hindering and de- laying creditors. The plaintifls also say that Mr. Schmcrtz has been insolvent for along time and has been obtaining goods and money on false pretenses and by fraudulent connivance and assistance of the other defendants. They ask the court to appoint a receiver and decree that W. E. Schmertz was solvent when he exe- cuted warrants to confess the judgments, and also that the judgments were collu- sive and fraudulent. A hearing will be had on Wednesday. Dr. Cronin’s Friends at a Picnic.

' ' A Man with liany Aliases in Prison in New York. ' .,. —‘ - CHARGEDz-WITIFABDUGTION - “His Career of Crime Extends Ovrr i Years and Dyer a Ldrge Part of . tho COuntry%‘Arrcsted Over One Hundred Times. NEW YORK, Aug: 17.—-Sylvester F. Wil- son, or Christian Wilson, or \V. S. Frank- lin, manager of female baseballists. is be- hind the bars of the Harlem police court prison charged with abducting Lydia Sunderland. Wilson has been arrested on any number of charges in every part oi the United States, but so far as known has never been convicted. No clumsy rascal is no, for, though his tastes be de- praved, there isa sort of fineness in his artful dodging from a convictls cell. He has been arrested over 100 times and always escaped. - Among the offenses charged are' abduction, forgery, swindlin g, blackmail, sending obscene matter through the mail and assault. . He Is 'a'Smootli Talker. Wilson is-abont forty years of age. He is arbig man with broad shoulders and an imposing appearance. He wears long, black side whiskers that sweep over his shoulders. A smooth, oily talker, pushing, energetic, tireless, with the most consum- , mate assurance, he fears nothing, always relying upon his wonderful mental re sources to get him out of every difficulty. Bankrupted His Benefactor. Over thirty years ago he was adopted into the family of the Rev. Hugh Atkin- son, a struggling minister in the small town of Humboldt, Nob. About the time he reached his majority he was smart enough to get possession ofaweekly news paper of that town. He had already gained an unenviable notoriety among the, people of the village. His new venture suited his abnormal craving after fame of some kind. He was arrested for libel and then the more serious one of blackmail was laid against him, and the sheriff closed up the office. His foster father went on his bond for $2,000, mortgaging his house to secure the bond. The precocious youth jumped his bail and the poor old man was made homeless. Beginning His Career. Then began a career of offenses against _ every law. In 1873 Wilson was arrested in Cincinnati for sending an obscene paper through the mails. His record in Cincin- nati was very checkered. He defrauded printers, shouted anarchy, and published matter of a blackmailing character. Dur- ing that year he was three times before the police courts on serious charges. In 1875 he swindled aman named Robert Keith. He took Mr. Keith in hand and before they parted company the $10,000 the latter had taken to the city had disap- peared. Keith was never able to get the man in his clutches. No more daring piece of work is on record than Wilson’s operations in Phila- delphia. He had been so thoroughly ex- posed by the newspapers of Cincinnati that he left that city. When the Content nial exposition opened in 1876 the ever smiling Wilson decided to go there and prey on the country visitors. He now changed his name from Christian to Syl. vester F. “If I do not clear $10,000 at least,” he declared, “I will be sadly disappointed.” Made Money Rapidly. That he made money there c _n be no doubt, but he also had 8. gr at do}. of diffi- culty in keeping out of j, 1. Opening a ticket scalping office on C estnut street, he was apparently carrying things with a- high hand. That all stopped in the course of a few weeks, for he was arrested on a charge of forging passes and tickets over the Pennsylvania railroad. The following May he was again arrested on the same charge. He was doing busi- ness in Camden, N. J ., and the railway detectives broke open his trunks and found five passes that had undoubtedly been stolen from the office. They were signed properly, but a careful investigation proved that the names were forgeries. Wilson had flown to New York. Oflicers followed (1 he was arrested and taken to Camden. ilson engaged counsel and made a most vi orous defense. The case was a notori- ou one, and when the jury disagreed everybody in Camden was astonished. Twice afterward was he put to trial, but both times there was a disagreement. This so disgusted the railway officials that they dropped the matter and Wilson returned to New York, and was soon afterward ar- rested on the charge of attempted abduc- tion. His Last Victim. His last victim, Lydia ,Sunderland, is lgight, pretty and Smart. She said that s' e was glad that Mr. Gerry’s society had got her, for she wanted to be good again. To a reporter who saw Wilson he said thfit he was a much persecuted person. I am innocent of all these charges,” he said, “and can prove that there is nothing wrong in this case. I was educating that girl so as to make her my wife.” J ames W. Cameron, who was Wilson’s partner, is now urging the prosecution to go ahead and send Wilson to jail, said that there was no question about the latter’s guilt. Says tho‘Report Is Biased. HARRISBURG, Aug. 17.—P. F. Cafirey, the secretary of the Knights of Labor leg- islative committee, is displeased with Chairman Butler’s report to the order and will submit one of his own in a few days. Mr. Caifrey thinks the Butler report was pissed politically in favor of the Repub loans. The American the Winner.

H. Burton, of Montreal, and G. W. HySIOp, of Toronto. . . -g'James S. Whipple Wins. LITTLE VALLEY. N.

AT SOME TIME EACH SUMMER Almost every town dweller is translated into a summer tourist. The translation—material, not spiritual—brings wants of many sorts. The dreamy haze of seashore or the inspiration of mountain climbing in August,may not be enjoyed without preparation. A little forethought now will save discomfort then. Discomfort discounts a vacation. You do the thinking, drop your want thoughts in our cars, “we do the rest.” LEATHER BAGS. Your life is scant unless you have the needed Grip to serve for a. night out of town or to carry the incidentals needed by your side on train or boat. Perhaps you are unconscious of the need until the means to supply it appear. When supplied you wonder how you managed to exist before. It may be that this list will open your eyes: Alligator Gripsacks, fine nickel trimmings, from 89 cents up. Glad— value. , 7 No Seconds—no holes to mark how the first owner of the skin was compelled to surrender it. You can add to the ensemble of your traveling rig for a moiety of recent cost. SHI .T WAISTS. ' ‘ on. \Tghié’llwoman who has once known the comfort of a Shirt or Blouse Waist won’t care to count them out of her vacation outfit. Neat, cool and ”'13le to nothing cost.

You’d think the special sale of Ladies’ Outing Shirts just started, judging by the stock and the crowds. During the past week we purchased another case of these suits, closing out the balance of the stock, save only soiled samples, of the largest and best makers of Women’s clothing in the country. The prices at which these goods were bought make a big loss ’t the makers. Don’t worry about that. The firm is rich and can stand it. The season as a whole has been good ; they’ve made money. And so you will find profits from others’ losses, but nobody will be hurt. These suits are of many sorts, including Outing Flannel, Sateen, Cheviot, White Lawn, etc. The prices would be from $3 to $5; they are divided into two lots 5 Lot 1, 98 cents. Lot 2, $1.49. There never could be a more perfect coincidence between time and a bargain. The hot weather suggests comfort and recreation. These Outing Suits meet the case in one important element of dress. BOOKS.
