ONANcouK, Va, March "a. Late last
night intelligence reached here Of a shock
ing accident that occurred yesterday
near Marsh Market, in the northern
part of Accomaok county. A most esti-
msble lady, the wife Of Mr.. Anderson,
happened 70 be alone at her home, her
husband having gone of to attend tosome
business, when she saw the saubble field
adjoining her house on fire. She ran out
and fought the flames vigorously to keep
them from reaching the house, but in
doing this her clothing caught fire. She
cried for help, running frantically about
and tanning the flames into greater fury.
The neighbors hearing her cries ran as
fast as they could to the scene of the dis
aster, but before they could reach the un-
fortunate lady she was dead. Her cloth
ing was entirely consumed and her feat
ures disfgured beyond recognition, the
flesh falling in great rolls from her bones.
The husband returned home some hours
after the tragic occurrence, and became
frantic with grief. The neighbors managed
to save the house.

Senator Edmunds has made palpable
failure of his attack upon the President.
The latter was too Jacksonian, if not too
shrewd, to fall into the net so stealthily
spread for him, and the best thing Mr..
Edmunds and his colleagues con do is to
drop the subject and turn their whole at
tention to the work for which the people
sent them to Washington. It is not pro.

chaplain devoted his opening prayer to
an invocation to God to rid the land of

There is q bill before the Maryland
legislature which seems to be setting the
press Of Baltimore at loggerheads- The
bill proposes 70 make twelve hours a
legal day's labor for employees OF the
street railway companies; a provision
which meets the approval Of all the
pareis. But the companies are striving
TO secure, as IN offset, an abolition Of the
quota Of park tax they are now required
TO pas, and it is upon this proposition
that the Journals have locked horns at
least the Sun and the Mogqlfag Herald
have, for the american seems rather non
committal. The Sun is bringing all its
forces to bear against the proposition,
while the Morning Herald aneeringly
charges that IL is influenced by interested
motives, because the proprietor of the
San owns less street car stock than real
estate. Originally the street railway
companies were assessed for 20
per cent of this tax, but when
the fare was reduced by law to five
cents, the assessment was lowered to 9
per cent. This reduction in the tax quota
the Sun declares has never been approved
by the people of Baltimore, but has
always been ascribed to the power
of the lobby, and it warns legislators who
feel inclined to vote for the removal Of
the remaining nine per cent that they
must prepare to at least ''haye their in.

Mechanics, in its last issue, discusses
questions of the ownership of inventions
made by employees, or by employers and
employees jointly. In the case of an
employe who invents and constructs a
machine in his employers time, Mec1tauics
concludes that the individual machine
thus constructed belongs to the employer,
who can sell or use it or make any dispo-

right to patent the invention belongs
solely to the employe, and his employer
has acquired no right to build duplicates
of the original machine.

tries. Ireland aOas the pioneer;
she as the leader of linen
luxury. All the belongings of
linen industry grow there more
luxuriantly than anywhere else.
We are told, a piano factory
has its habit of making the
parts of that delicate instru-
ment; makes them well or i'll;
persists in making just SO well
or just SO i'll; doesn't change
its habit; resists all effort to
change it. The workmen are
schooled to their tasks. The
foremen exact so much and
seem unable to exact any
more. The linen habit is
high in Ireland. All the tradi-.
tons of growing and handling
the flax; the preparations are
perfect; machinery perfect;
standards higher than any
where else in the world. 1t is
easy to reach the highest per-
fections there.
Such are the sources of
linens by countries. Our
buyer takes them one at a
time; is not bewildered by the
variety he finds there; bears
in mind the local influences;
chooses the characteristic best,
now here, now there. He
carries his wit from county to
country from year to year.
He chooses in Germany better
for having been in Scotland.
Next year he will choose still
better for this years expert
ence.
What's the net result of his
gatherings? You come to look
at sheetings, which will you
buy? VIII you choose by
countries? Partly. You will
look at French and Scotch
with two very different eyes.
You will look at Irish and ask
rs this the extravagant sheet
ing you told us about?" You
can pay from S5c to $2.I2H
a yard. With nothing but an
experienced eye to guide you,
you would wonder why we
set before you Scotch, Ger
man, Flemish, French and
Irish, all so nearly alike. We
think we have made that clear.
