Snellenburg- store at Twelfth and Market streets was the scene of much activity last night. The entire establishment had been giveh over to the florists, carpenters and decorators who were working like veritable beavers to enhance the natural beauty of the store In anticipation of the opening to-day The new departments which are thrown open to-day are the tailor-made costumes for women, coats, wraps, separate skirts, shirt waists, corsets, underwear, apparel for young ladles and little girls.

Infant goods and cycling suits. Everything, indeed, to outfit women is included on the second floor, which Is without doubt the best lighted, best ventilated and most cheerful establishment of Its kind in the wide world. In addition to its ordinary beauty, the Boor was transformed into a bower of loveliness by the lavish use of flowers. All about there were hundreds npon hundreds of palms, while the massive white pillars were en-tw-iued with wild smllax. Flowers of all kinds were judiciously arranged and the whole presented a scene of Indescribable loveliness.

The markets of the world have been called upon to furnish the beautiful stock. Not oniy Philadelphia and York manufacturers contributed, hut those abroad have scut their quota to this exhibition. The well-known Snellenburg policy, which Is embodied in a circular letter addressed to the employes and which is framed and hung Tin in a prominent nlace in the store, will apply to this department, as well as the others. The sentence is as follows: "The policy of the firm Is to furnish good goods at the lowest prices, never to do less than it promises, but -more if possible, and to make interested friends of Its patrons." To this one sentence the whole success of the firm can be traced. The old departments, namely, suits and coats fur little boys, the "Good Philadelphia I Made Clothing lor men ami ooys, custom tailoring, haberdasheries, shoes for all the family, hats, cycles and outing wear, preseut a nrigmer appearance than ever, i ne lathers and sons were not slighted in any possible manner.

The tlrst floor, with its unlimited stock of fresh new haberdashery, rivaled the second in point of beauty, the scrupulous cleanliness and fresh white paint lending so much to the floral adornments. i The third floor of the establishment is not us gorgeous as those lower down, but It Is there that the reputation of the house Is largely made In the "Good Philadelphia Made Clothing." The entire manufacturing department of the firm, occupying the fifth and sixth floors, will be thrown open to visitors. Guides will he In attendance to escort any patrons of the firm through the immense manufacturing plant. Those who take advantage of this opportunity will be well repaid by the many curious things there ure to see. Flat-Irons which are heated by electricity and possess a never-varying temperature are used to press the garments.

The amount of work accomplished in a day by a man using an iron of this kind Is doubled. A knife which cuts through seventy two thicknesses of cloth at one stroke is another curiosity. Ihis reduces the cost of a single suit astonishingly. The sixth floor Is a bee hive of industry. Men and women use sewing by machinery.

The girls who sew the buttonholes work with Incredible rapidity, their needles plying away in a manner truly marvelous. Seven hundred people are constantly employed In making the garments, while the store gives employment to four thousand Phllndelplilatis. The present opening is but a preliminary to the real opening of the entire store. The three added buildings are now in the hands of the carpenters and builders. False walls are erected throughout the new buildings, which permits the business to go on despite the operations of the workmen.

Every visiting lady will be presented with a dainty uoHeguy, of which thousands upou thousands were being prepared for the open-lug of to-day, Friday and Saturday. ROBBED A SICK WOMAN Porgette Sent to Jail for Stealing All of Mrs. Newman's Furniture. Nelson Porgette and his wife, Goldle, occupied seats In the dock before Judge Au-denried In Quarter Sessions Court, Xo. 1, yesterday.

They were charged with having stolen household goods and wearing apparel valued at over $1,00, belonging to Mrs. Florence Newman. The latter had been quite ill and was told that unless she went to a hospital for treatment she would not recover. Being without family, she had decided to break up her nicely-furnished home at North Twelfth street and store her goods. Porgette, with whom she was acquainted, came to her and told a tale of hardship and finally Induced her to forego storing her goods and permit him and his wife to Instal themselves In the house, promising to take good care of the things and pointing out how nice it would be for her to come to a nice warm home after leaving the hospital.

Mrs. Newman went to the hospital on January 5 and left on January 11, being away only six days. When she returned to the house she did not find the promised "nice warm" reception. Instead, she was greeted by an empty house. The Porgettes had disappeared and with tbeni went all the furniture and even the personal effects of Mrs.

Newman, who was left with absolutely nothing but the clothes she had on her back. There was not sufficient evidence to warrant a conviction as against Mrs. Porgette and she was acquitted. As she heard these words she began crying, tlrst silently and then violently. Wheii she stepped from the dock, leaving her husband behind, she reeled for a moment and was caught by a couple of officers as she sunk In a faint.

She was carried to an otlice opposite the court room. and after liberal applications of cold water and much fanning she was Her first question was as to where she was, uud upon lieing told she gave a scream and swooned again. After once more being revived she quickly took her departure. The husband, who was also in tears, dried his eyes, and upon taking the stand snld he had purchased the articles from Mrs. Newman, but bis story could not stand the rigid cross-examination of Assistant District Attorney Fluietter and he repeatedly contradicted himself.

He said he hud paid $180 on account the purchase price, but he admitted that he had done no work since last October, when he made some In an advertising scheme. The Jury placed no cic-dence in his story and he was convicted. Judge Audenried imposed a sentence of two years, tlrst learning that Porgette had ready served two terms. MRS.

A pitiable figure was Sammy Henderson as he stood In the Court of Quarter Sessions yesterday. He was there in accordance with the time-honored formality of the law to enter his plea. Charged with the brutal killing of little Percy Lockyer, with no one to defend him except, of course, his lawyers It might be supposed that he would say: 'Giillty" But it was not so. He was led to the bar of Justice, moving with shambling gnlt, his head down, his large mouth half-open, his eyes looking vacantly at the floor. There he stood with Lawyers Crowley and Kelr behind him as prompters.

He did not raise bis head when Judge Audenried asked If he pleaded "guilty" or "not guilty" to the charge. He was apparently both deaf and dumb. One of the lawyers gave him a gentle punch In the back, whispering: "Say 'not Without raising his head, the accused lad murmured "Not" and got no further, until the lawyer repeated his entreaty, aud theu Sammy, still addressing the floor, mumbled, "Not not gull tyl" Still more painful was the effort to in duce him to respond to the Inquiry: "How will you be trie I The heroic reply: By God aud my country:" Is generally butcher- ed, nut It is procaine tnat it was never less fittingly rendered than by Sammy Header- son. It came in letters. In syllables uud words until at last the detached pica was compiete- tue majesty oi tne law for the time satisfied.

Theu the lad was led away to prison again. Ills understanding of the order: "Come alougl" was very good. He raised his head a little, his feet shambled a little less as he made his exit. He seemed to feel that though he was now more than ever a prisoner, he was for the time free at least from the eyes of the curious crowd for while Hll criminals are objects of Interest, the youthful ones receive especial attention. The Impression he made was that of a lad not absolutely feeble-minded, but very near the border line; one who If he had been takeu hand earlier iu life might hove become harmless although not intelligent citizen Just such as would have become a dnugerous, cunulng criminal, but not a brilliant one.

PASTEURIZATION FAVORED Many Important and Interesting Papers Head at the C'loslner Sessions of the State Veterinary Association. The Supply of Milk In Glass Bottles Approved. Yesterday was the last day of the annual meeting of the Pennsylvania State Veterinary Medical Association, which was hcid In the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania.

The transaction of routine business and the reading of papers occupied the time al both sessions of the conference. A few unimportant changes were also made In the by-laws of the association. Dr. G. K.

Swank. V. M. was proposed for membership and elected. One of the most Interesting papers real during the proceedings was that of Dr.

M. P. Ravenal, on "Milk Supply from a Bacteriological Standpoint." Dr. Ravenal is the Bncteriollglst of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board and instructor of bacteriol ogy in the Veterinary Department of the University of Pennsylvania. Dr.

Ravenal said that until about the year 1870 milk was not considered as being capable of carrying epidemic disease, but since that time the evidence on this point Is overwhelming and appalling. From INTO to 1SS1 he showed from statistics that there were fifty epidemics of typhoid fever, with cases; fifteen epidemics of scarlet fever, with 800 cases: seven epidemics of diphtheria, with 500 cases. Then, taking up the records from 1S81, further statistics show fifty-three epidemics of typhoid fever, with 3.220 cases; twenty-six epidemics of scarlet fever, with l.tjltt cases; eleven epideni'cs of diphtheria, with 501 eases: two of foot and mouth discuses, three of throat trouble, two of acute poisoning and one of Asiatic cholera; In all, "lit! cases. Pasteurization Urged. "These figures," suld Dr.

Ravenal In conclusion, "are Inside of the real truth, as in many of the epidemics reported the number of cases occurring are not given. It would be comparatively easy to outline Ideal condl. Hons for a milk supply, but tho commercial aspect of the case must also be considered and the regulations enforced must be of a nature which will allow so Important a food product to.be within the reach of the masses. I advocate strongly pasteurization of milk on the farm. This is considered necessary by some ho advocate the utmost care In hand ling as a substitute, but when It Is remembered that In dairies where the utmost pre cautions are observed under the most careful management and where the average number of germs does not exceed 3.000 to COoO per C.

the number will occasionally reach as high as 200.000 per C. it will be seen that nothing can take the place of sterilization. "Where It is Impossible to pasteurize on the farm the milk may be sent In bulk us rapidly as possible to a central part In the city and there be bottled and pasteurized The use of the glass jar In the delivery of milk. It seems to me. Is a great advance over the old system of can delivery.

To sum up, milk should be delivered to the consumer In us normal a condition as possible. This Is obtained by the proper care of tho cow, cure of the milker as re- gards his persou and clothing, and care of the milk after It is drawn. In one word, cleanliness In all things Is the set ret of a good ni(l supply, and If this can be strictly observed such artificial aids as pasteurization are not necessary. In actual practice, however, I believe that pasteurization will give best results." Another Plea for Pasteurization. Dr.

Howard B. Felton read a paper on "Pasteurization versus Purity," which title. he said, was suggested by a paper read recently by Dr. John I. Carter before tho Avon-dale Institute, In which he condemns the pasteurization of milk, claiming that bv the process the life principle is taken out of the milk and it is rendered unwholesome and nnnutrltious.

This view- was combated by Dr. Felton, who contended that Pasteur has done no more valuable service for mankind than giving us the process which bears his name. Dr. J. C.

Mlchencr read a paper on "Feeding Animals," In which he contended Hint while pedigree Is Important, skill In feeding makes the successful breeder. Our live stock interests are the greatest of any people ou the face of the earth, and they demand that we understand and practice the business for the best results. The other papers read were as follows: Dr. M. E.

Connrd, "What Our Dairy Cattle Inherit;" Dr. H. B. Felton, "Pasteurization versus Purity;" Dr. H.

P. Keely, "Eversiou of tho Uterus In Cows;" Dr. C. J. Marshall, "What a Veterinarian Ought to Know About Commercial Milk;" Dr.

W. S. Phillip, "Tetanus;" Dr. S. J.

J. llarger, "Lesions of Spavin:" Dr. W. P. Phlpps, "Tetanus 'as I Have Found It In Chester County;" Dr.

J. F. Huttertield, "Report of Case of Distressed Breathing In Cow." Besolutlons Adoptefl. Before the conference adjourned several resolutions were submitted and agreed to. One of these was In reference to the supply of milk In bottles.

This system the association favors, and the resolution in reference to it asserted that the association approves of all changes and advances in methods of milk distribution that tend to brlug this important article of food to the consumer with additional guarantees of purity, whole-someness and cleanliness, ami further that a system of milk Inspection based upon chemical examination alone is Incomplete and Insufficient because It omits the points that are of most vital Interest In the protection of the public health, and we do not believe In a system of inspection that Interferes with the proper development of methods of milk supply. The other resolutions related to matters strictly of interest to the veterinary profession. eity Notes Judge Penrose yesterday settled the estate of Antoinette Schludy, deceased, and awarded a legacy of $000 to the Geruiau Hospital.
