Women know that furniture covering is sometimes very troublesome to harmonize.

We will do our best to help you solve the problem; not only by variety of goods, but also by decorative service.

How G. F. B. Howard Made His Escape From the Ohio Penitentiary SAT UPON THE GUARD Hia Varied Career as a Peripatetic Evangelist and Confidence Man "Two Hundred Dollars Reward." F. B.

Howard, No. 23,041. Escaped from the Ohio Penitentiary-, September 12, 1807." This is the opening paragraph of a plac- ar now ornamenting the walls of various Philadelphia police stations. In type of the blackest much as though it were an advertisement of some stolen horse it tells of the escape, and describes one of the cleverest and perhaps most unique members of the jolly. fraternity of the gold brK'k and the jimmy.

No vulgar craftsman or amateur is this man whom society has numbered among its enemies as 25,041 but oiie who deals with the emotions of men who coins into good, hard cash the confidence he has the power to inspire in his victims. It is no easy thing for a thin man escape the watchdogs of the country's criminal But when a man who tips the it, he must exercise an ingenuity propor- tionate to his size. In the Ohio eniten- tiary it is the boast of the officers that 3 fmm thnt. institution than from any other. Now it was ol jovioualy impossible lor a man oi I Howard's weight to caie a wall or to I cre3p through the narrow crevice that i seed as a window, and the days when I prisoners could tunnel the walls or be sewn up in a sack for dead disappeared with the Count of Monte Cristo.

Sat On tbe Guard So it happened that No. 25,041 was forced to resort to other means to gain freedom. And then the spirit of ingenuity which had so faithfully worked for him when free came bravely to the i-esoie when its owner was pining behind the bars. He won the confidence of his szuard. One night when the aforesaid guard was enjoying the reminiscences of his prisoner he was surprised to suddenly find himself upon the floor with No.

whole 215 pounds sitting upon him- To take the keys and to strip the guard of his clothing was the work ot but a moment. To gag Jiiiii and bind him was the work of another. The unconscious guard woke from his enforced sleep a few hours later to find the bird flown. A ladder leaning against the wall showed the means the grave confidence man had used. And as the ladder on the outside of the wall the means ol descent was also visible.

In the dim light of the corridor he had emerged into the yard without being seen, and had evidently waited for a favorable moment to scale the wall. Having been regarded as a "trusty" he had explored the vard time and again, and the location of the various prison tools was as familiar to him as was his cell. An Itinerant Preacher Descriptions of the fugitive were sent to each large city, and the best Ohio detectives bayed in chase. For two years, notwithstanding their well-meant efforts, he has been at large. Regularly do those he left behind him so careless'y send out anxious requests for his apprehension, but he pays no attention to their flattering desire for his company.

This notice of last September is the latest sent for him. Although his face is not seen, his deeds go before him. In the respective roles of temperance lecturer and itinerant minister, he sways the scepter of roguery oyer hundreds of quacking subjects. His fervent appeals to the erring to walk in tlys ways ot the holy and the abstemious, those who have heard him say, are marvels of oratory. His voice is sympathetic 1 and musical, and it sways his hearers as the evangelists of the early "50s.

But it I is when he arrives at some moderately jarEe country town that his genius breaks i loose and shines forth like a light in tne wilderness. The congregations that he gathers, his fervent appeals for contribu- may suit nis iancy ana nis mma at tne time, and his faint, tender smile as he gathers in the shining sheckels and meditatively departs are things, it is said, that would have made old Fagin weep tears of joy or jacK nepnera oreak out in a Paean of thanksgiving. I ne nas a aainty lasinon ot settling a while nlace beonmino. th that his unctious manner and suave ad ore dress warrant then some mornine he 1 1 i i mvolutary contribution on the dwellers and fades away like the mists at sunrise. Chicago has been his headquarters for some years.

He has lectured under various names in almost all the large cities of the East. Baltimore has fallen frequentlv victim to his wiles. Nor has the Citv of the markers been forgotten. He dresses not at all the physogomy of the profes sional crook. A weak mouth is hidden by a brown mustache, and with it he does his utmost to hide a jzold upper tooth.

His manner is easy and his speech fluent. He is badly wanted at the Ohio crook reservation. It is not likely, however that he will ever pay it a voluntary visit! PIER NEARLY DONE Chestnut Street Structure to Be Finished on Time The public pavilion at the foot of Chestnut street, which has been In course of construction since June 1. is fast near-Ing completion.

Ervin. was married to John Anderson, at the home of the bride's parents, 1437 Columbia avenue, at 7 o'clock, by the Rev. Dr. Ford, pastor of the Gethsemane Baptist Church. The bride, who was given away by her father! was handsomely gowned in white satin, trimmed with Valenciennes lar-e.

and carried lilies of the valley. Miss Helen Ketch-urn, of Overbrook. who was maid of honor, was attired iu white crepe de chine, trimmed point lace. The. best man was Warren Anderson, a brother of the groom.

Mrs. Bredell's Visit to Her.Hus-' band irv Moyamensing Prison FIRST SIGHT OF BABY Father Sees His Little One as the Girl-Motker Holds It In Her Arms.

Affecting Scene Only a few days ago there stopped at the gate of the untried department of Moyamensing Prison' a young woman who showed in her face traces of deep sorrow. She was neatly attired and she would be called pretty on close appearance. It was not the first time that she had rang the bell that brings admission, for she had been a frequent visitor during the past six months. The keeper knew her familiar features well. When she entered' at previous times she always carried some delicacy to a man within ever waiting to see her and console her in the distress his crime and shame had caused her.

On this occasion her hands and arms held something else. The mother, for such the girl had become within a year of her bridal, was the wife of Baldwin S. Bredell, the counterfeit machine maker and engraver, and the babe she fondled was his child. It was a strange place to meet his first born for i the first time, three weeks or so after its birth. Lp to the third tier the sad faced woman went, to the cell where her husband sat, and with him as companion the other man who had been his accomplice Arthur Taylor, one of the best engravers.

for his years, in the country. The scene mneea was patnetic as tne nuspana and father looked into the eyes oi the little stranger which she held toward him. Will Plead Gnilt-? were smiles and tears commingled, because the day of penalty was nigh, and all three knew how rapidly it was coming. Only a wife six months when the blow that seemed to crush all her hopes fell; a mother six months later, while the man she had wedded was locked away from home and happiness. No wonder that Bredell eou-ld scarce restrain a sob or that the other occupant of the cell turned away for the moment.

The devoted woman will see her husband again and again before he is brought to the bar with Taylor to plead guilty and receive his sentence. Monday next is the day fixed for the arraignment of all who are implicated in the famous counterfeit rasp? end Bredell both comparatively young as age goes; Jacobs, of Lancaster, the "King I'm" of the great conspiracy against the National Treasury; Kendig, of the same town; Downing, the revenue officer, who is charged with betraying his trust: Burns.

There is no other way oiit of the difficulty. They can be called to plead and be immediately sentenced, or the announcement of the punishment may be held in abeyance un til after the Ingham and Hewitt case is disposed of.

AWAY Vou fi "Wife Disappears Her Photo- crrupii Went With Her Mrs. Mary Helms, tbe 21-year-old wife of i August Helms, of 2122 Reese left her borne last Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, and from that hour her MRS. MARY HELMS.

so far as her husband, family and friends are concerned, has beeu completely oblit erated. Inquiries and searches have been made, but without avail. As to the reason of Mrs. Helms' disappearance, both Mr. Helms and the family are in the dark.

The only theory advanced Is. that the younp wife has been taken ill in the street and removed to a hospital. Mrs. Helms has been subject to fainting spells, and has eften remained in a state i of unconsciousness for seme time. There Is one act of the woman that casts a cloud or deeper mystery over her disappearance; before she went out she took the only photograph of herself in the house from its frame, and carried it away with her.

COFFEE HEART. Many People Think Tliej- Have Heart Tronble. "My husband and I used to drink Mocha and Java coffee at forty cents a pound. We made it strong and always had it for breakfast; somethimes in cold weather for luncheon and dinner. A form of heart disease came ou to both of us.

Husband complained of bis heart missing a beat sometimes and that he could not sleep after drinking coffee for the six o'clock dinner. I had pains at the heart, and very peculiar smothering sensations, frequently accompanied with sick headache. My physician forbid the iise of coffee, and we were put on Postun Food Coffee, with the result that both husband and myself havo fully regained our health and our hearts are all right and perfect now. "I have reached such perfection in making Postum that husband cannot tell either by look or taste whether he is drinking fine coffee or Postum, and be is a connoisseur in coffee. We drink Postum two or three times a day, and it never palls on our taste.

"'A good many people make Postum in a very slipshod manner; that is, they dash a little into the coffee pot and let it bubble up a little while and serve it, but that makes the flattest kind of a drink. On tbe contrary, when four heaping teaspoons to the pint of water are used and tbe Postum allowed to boil fully fifteen minutes after, the boiling begins, (not counting after it is put on the stove but after the real boiling begins) then one obtains a beverage that is worth -while. 'I have no objections to your usine my name." Mrs. J. M.
