March 12.—-W0rth, the famous "man dressmaker,” is dead. - Charles Frederic Worth was born in Bourne, Lincolnshire. England, in 1825. At the age of 13 he was apprenticed to a : printer, his parents being desirous that he should learn that trade, but he evinced a strong hostility to han‘ dling type and abandoned th e printing office aft- er ho had served , about seven ’ months. He then ~§l\-\¢.‘:‘went to London ‘ and through the K . flhsfi‘iwork in a draper’s .2515, 4.811? 80068) shop. 5'. which position he left to enter the employment 0 f ‘ Swan 8; Edgar, drapers, where he became a favorite. He first conceived the idea of designing fash— , ions through conversations with the buy- ers of Swan 8: Edgar and frequently made ' _ suggestions Which the heads of depart ments were not slow to see in-a favorable . light. The more he talked with the buy- ; ers the more he resolved to go to Paris and soon began the study of French. When about 21 years of age, he went to Paris and shortly after his arrival in that city secured a position with Gagelin & Co. and in a few years was placed at the head of a department. In his new capacity he _ inaugurated many new departures. While in the employ of Gagelin & Co. he received medals for displays at the London and ‘Paris expositions. Later he established the firm of Worth & Boberg and in 1870 founded the famous house of Worth. His fame as a dressmaker abounded, and among the many admirers of his skill was the err-Empress Eugenie, for whom he made a great many elegant dresses. ' It has been said that while Paris rules . the world in fashion the man who ruled Paris—M. Worth—was a Lincolnshire England) lad, so that really it was an nglishman who was the arbiter of the - world’s fashions. , , An Italian Historian Dead. MILAN,’ March 12.—Cesare Cantu, the historian, is dead. He was born near '- Milan in 1804. He became professor of literature in the college of Sondiro in the Valteline, whence he went to Come and thence to Milan. After embracing the Liberal cause he wrote his “Reflections on the History of Lombardy In the Seven- tenth Century.” which excited the hostili- ty of the Austrian government and result- ed in his imprisonment for three years. During his captivity Cantu wrote “Mar- gherita Pustorla, " a historical romance, a Work which has often been compared to the "Pomessi Sposi” of Manzoni. He com- posed various religious hymns, and his poem "Algiso," his “Letture Giovanelli” and the articles which be contributed to The BibliotecaIt-aliana and The Indica- . tore. of Milan popularized his name throughout Italy. Cantu published ‘ ‘ Storia Universalc,” “History of Italian Litera- ture,” “History ,of the Last Hundred _ Years,” “History of the Italians, ” ”Mila- no, Storia del Popolo e pel Popolo” and other Works. ‘ T...‘ Ailsa ma Not Start.

Being a State om... His-Certification of Bills Was Always Regarded as Suf- ficient by Treasurers4—Leon Abbott, Jr.’s, Statement. 'TRENTON, March 12.‘-—The startling rev- elations brought out by the witnesses be- fore the senate investigating committee as to'the reckless expenditure of money for purchasing supplies, furniture, etc., for the state capitol make it interesting to note the law under which B. J. Ford oper- ated. . The law under which Ford first received his appointment was approved April 18, 1889, and he was appointed in May. The governor was given the power to nominate, appoint and commission a superintend- ent of the statehouse for a term of three years. He was to have the general super- vision and care of the capitol and to em- ploy as many necessary assistants and at such prices as the governor, attorney gen- eral and state treasurer should approve. He was required to render monthly ac- counts to the state treasurer, who should ] certify the same, and they should then be paid by the treasurer on the warrant of the comptroller. The superintendent’s salary was fixed at $2,000 a year. , In the following year the act was passed appropriating $30,000 for furnishing the various offices of the capitol and to be ex- pended under the direction of the govern- or and comptroller, and another act au- thorized Ford to expend 820,000 more for “painting. repairing, furnishingand ven- tilating” the executive chamber, legisla- tive chamber, courtrooms and various other ofiiccs and for beautifying the grounds, with the approval of the govern- or and treasurer. Ford Was Energetic. In 1891 Governor Abbott was authorized to expend any amount he saw fit upon va-- rious alterations in the state library and other offices and to erect a new assembly chamber. It was during this year that Ford was carrying on his commission busi- ness at such a big rate with Mullins & (30., the furniture dealers of Newark, and Samuel Heath, the lumber merchant of Trenton, as brought out before the com- mittee on Friday. _ During the session of 1892 Ford succeed- ed in getting another bill through relating. to himself. His term would expire in May of that year. The new law continued him in office for two years longer and made the term five years. The governor was also authorized that year to provide a new ven— tilating system for the senate chamber, and no limit was fixed for the expenditure of money. It was this year that Ford put in a bill of $500 for superintending the work. ' A lot of new furniture was pur. chased for the chamber. In 1893 Ford came forward with a new bill, and the legislature promptly passed it for him. This increased his salary to $3,- 000 a year. He was not content with his commission business. The law under which Ford has operated required that the state treasurer should certify to all his accounts before the bills should be paid. The bills filed away in the state treasurer’s office show that this was done. The officials at the capitol, how- ever,’say that, as Mr. Ford was a state ofiicer and had the right to approve his own bills, the further approval of the treas- urer was only a perfunctory act. Ford’s Certification Not Questioned. All bills came to the treasurer’s office with Ford’s approval upon them. Treas- urer John J. Toffey and Treasurer George B. Gray both certified to all of Ford’s bills without question after he had approved them himself. It would, it is pleaded for them, have been considered “a breach of official etiquette” not to do this so long as Ford was a state officer and not a mere employee! From the evidence of John Biker, who acted as Ford’s clerk, the su- perintendent did not even keep a record of all the supplies purchased to submit to the treasurer, as the law required. Under the law passed in 1894, which re- moved Ford,‘ the governor, treasurer and comptroller are placed in charge of the capitol, and the custodian is appointed by them and is not a state ofiflcer. He is not permitted to purchase any supplies beyond an expenditure of 8100 without first sub- mitting the matter to the commission. He has no authority to approve bills except as any clerk might do so for his-employer. The state officers in ofiice during Ford’s reign have been as follows: Governors, Green. 1887-90; Abbett, 1890-3; treasur- ers, Tofley, 1885-91; Gray, 1891—4; Swain in office; comptrollers, Anderson, 1880-91; Heppeheimer, 18914; Hancock in office. Young Mr. Abbott's Desk. NEW YORK, March 12.-—-Leon Abbott, son of the late ex~Governor Abbett, lives on Hudson street, near Ninth, Hobokcn. When asked if he received the desk pur- chased at the expense of the state for 8100, he said: “ Yes, I received the desk when I’ was private secretary for my father.' Whether it was given to me to do my work as private secretary or as a token of esteem I never inquired. All that I know about it is that I received the desk. I believe I have it still. I never inquired whether the state paid for it or whether it-was .pur- chased by friends. They can have the desk if they want it badly. If the senate so desire, I will appear and tell them all I know about the desk transaction. 'I used it to do my work as private secretary for . my father, and when his term of office ex- pired I shipped it to my home. ” Senator George to Retire.

THE ROBINSONS ON TRIAL. the Work of Selecting the Jury Will Prob- ably Consume Several Days—Only Three Months of Life Are Left Mur- derer Harry Hayward. BUFFALO, March 12.-—-Today the dis- perior court of the two Robinsons, Clar- ance and Sadie, indicted for murder in the first degree, for the killing of Montgomery Gibbs, a young lawyer. on Delaware av- enue, a year ago. ' This murder, by reason of-the promi- nence of the victim, the celebrity of the section of the city in which he met his death and the bafiling mystery which sur- rounded the crime, created more of a sen- sation than any other murder that has been recorded in the annals of Bufialo in the past ten years. Mr. Gibbs, a reticent and inoffensive citizen, was walking alone up a residence street bordered with mansions brilliant with lights about 10 o’clock in the even- ing. Suddenly three pistol shots rang out in quick succession. The neighbors and passcrsby found Gibbs dying from a bullet wound in the head andglying in the driveway leading to a fashionable resi- dence. He expired without uttering a word. His assailants had vanished and left nothing as a clcw to their identity. Rumors soon connected Gibbs’ name with some of the families in the immediate vi- cinity, and hints of love affairs were rife, much to the annoyance of many innocent people. The theory that he was assailed by footpads was hardly credited. His watch and money had been untouched. He had no enemies, as far as could be learned. Nobody had seen the crime com- mitted, and the only persons who claimed to have seen his assailants were two mes- senger boys, who said they saw two men run away from the spot where the firing occurred, but the police were unable, on experiment, to see the same distance un- der the same circumstances, as the boys declared they did, so ’their evidence was thought of little worth. The Reporter \Vas Right. A reporter found what he thought were 'the footprints of a woman near the spot, but this also was given little heed. No ar- rests were made until several months later 'the Buffalo police received word from the police of Cleveland that they had Clarence. . Robinson under arrest and had wormed out of his pals a charge that he was impli- cated in a Buffalo murder. Assistant Su- perintendent Cusack of the Buffalo police went to Cleveland and “pinched” Robin- son’s wife, Sadie, who, thinking that her husband was to. be charged with murder, confessed that she killed. Gibbs herself. She was brought to Buffalo, but refused to give any particulars. Robinson, learning that his wife was under arrest in Buffalo for the Gibbs murder, made a clean breast of the matter, telling how he and his wife had gone out to “hold up” somebody that night, Sadie being attired in men’s clothes. Gibbs had resisted them, and in the tussle he had been shot. Clarence Robinson was brought here, where he has been jailed apart from his wife ever since. The dis— trict attorney has found the disguise which Sadie wore on the night and other corrob- orative evidence and believes he has a strong case. There are many people here who believe that the Robinsons are lying and had nothing to do with the afiair. Attorney W. W. Saperston is defending both. The question whether the confes- sions of the Robinsons will be admitted by the court as evidence against them or how much of them, and curiosity to see the pair and hear what they will say for them- selves on the stand, filled the courtroom as soon as the doors were opened. The proceeding of impaneling a jury may con- sume two or three days. ' will claim that their confession made in Cleveland was bogus and made with the hope of attracting notoriety and getting them out of their trouble in Cleveland. . Harry Hayward Sentenced. MINNEAPOLIS, March 12. —Harry T. Hayward, cwvic’ted of the murder of Catherine Ging, has three months to live. Sentence was passed on him by Judge Seagrave Smith today after a motion for anarrest of sentence by Mr. Erwin had been denied. Harry came into the court in the same leisurely, calm manner that has characterized his demeanor all through the» trial and suryvcyed the crowd coldly while the handcuffs were being removed. Judge Smith agreed to examine the grounds urged for a new trial on March 28 and then passed sentence. He said he had just and righteous one, and while he did not believe in capital punishment it was his painful duty to pass sentence in accord- ance with the law. .i“The sentence of this court,” he continued, ”is that you be taken to the Hennepin county jail and be confined for a period of three months, and at a time to be fixed by the governor of this state you be taken to the place of exe- cution and banged by the neck until you are dead. ” Harry listened calmly and sat down without the slightest show of feel- ing. _ ___~ “Old Abe” Miners Probably Dead. .

Afllicted With Rheumatism. Mr. Geo. A. Mills, of Lebanon, Conn, says: “I was afiiieted with rheumatism in my back all last winter. It was so severe at times that I could not stand up straight, but was drawn over on one side. I tried different remedies "without receiving any relief until I bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s Pam Balm. After using it for three days, according to directions, my rheumatism was gone and has not returned since. I have since recommended it to others and know they have been benefited by its use.
