Table Linen. Tea and Lunch Cloths.
Sllverware. Notes and
Answers.

The newest table linen is woven in
orchid or chrysanthemum patterns
which are sometimes arranged in
broad columns that are lengthwise,
this being likewise most stylish for
conservative designs. But all over
patterns of course have a showing,
since fashions do not change so rapid
ly, in household matters rs in dress
Hemstitching is the fsvorite finish for
high grade damask, but particularly
for tea cloths, which, beginning from
three quarters OF yard square, be.
come larger, yet not very much so,
since, for fashionable five o'clock teas,
all appurtenances are usually pl iced
on one or more small tables, from
whence the refreshing beverage with
light eatables are distributed to guests
TEA CLOTHS,
therefore. are are special exponents OF
tasteful handiwork executed on fine
linen thread, either white or colored
and here in particular ladies employ
their leisure either in parlors or on
summer hotel piazzas. Bu; linen
shops are supplied with great varie-
ties. The costliest tea cloths are dec
GRATED in Fayal work, and this may
be initiated at homo by drawing
threads for the space of an inch or
two and filling in with fine embroid-
cry thread in floral figures. A fringe
Of threads gives finish on the edges
and the cross threads are kept firm by
embroidered scallops. The work is al
ways white, and the genuine are inn
ported from the Azore Islands with
corresponding expense. Long scaris
are shown for luncheons with large
squares OF linen worked to match,
which are placed under plates, finger
bowl doiles and napkins being also in
keeping.

COUNCIL COMMITTEE WORK.
Some of Them Did a Little, But
Not Very Much.

Council committees were attended with
any degree of unanjmity yesterday. A few
of them did a little business. Others couldn't
get a quorum. The water works committee
met in the morning and did a little work. 1t
decided TO recommend a watering trough at
Twentieth avenue north and Second street.
1t refused to annul the order for mains on
Sixth street northeast, and on Lake street

Carriage Maker RoelIer S1ugged
and His VaIuables Taken.

Another street robbery occurred yesterday
morning early. 4 little after midnight NJ.
Roeller, the carriage dealer, was on his way
home. He was on Second avenue south, be-
tween Fifth and Sixth streets. Just as he
passed the Pottle building two men sprang
upon him. One grasped him by the shoulders
and the other struck him with a sapdbag or
large lump on his forehead. Mr.. Roeller
dropped to the ground unconscious.
The robbers relieved him of a SIS
watch, a SIS chain and 81 in money.
Roeller did not recover consciousness for
over two hours. When he came to his senses
he went home, and did not report the affair
to the police until yesterday morning. When
he reached home he discovered that his dia
mona shirt stud was missing, too. He went
back to the place of the encounter yesterday

The Grand Jury and the Grist of
Old Indictments.

The grand jurymen assembled in the court
house yesterday morning, but four of their
number were found TO be absent. This left
the number inadequate to form a quorum,
and a special venire was drawn, consisting
of j. NJ. Bartlett, Frank c. Nickels, j. B.

after them. The jury will meet at 10 o'clock

appeared on the calendar so often as TO be
old landmarks. iSadOre MOnaSch appeared
for himself. and his trial was set by Judge
Pond for April 10. The LAWYERS cas- s were
also set for that date. The cases of Glenn
and the Stewards went down for the same
date. Leo Heilpern appeared with his law
yers, and his case was set for A pril IL, al
though the matter will probably not be heard
until later. Default was entered in the case
of Edward Wagner, and in some other cases
coming up fr ON the municipal court.
The case of Clerk Haney was called, but
will probably not be heard this term, having
apparently gone TO rooSt in the supreme
court, where the demurrer is being consid-
cred. The assault case of Lafayette Tyler
was put on the calendar.
James Mayfield, the man who was arrested
directly upon his release from on
an Indictment. was before the criminal court
Yesterday with MS attorney, Frank Nye. The
eloquent relative of the great josher plead for
his client until the man burst into tears.
Frank wanted him released. He said that it
was a hardship that this man should be eX-
pected TO get witnesses on the case after
nearly five years had elapsed. lie had been
arrested and tried for the shooting of Walter
Winston. whose father, c. c. Winston, is q
sewing machine agent, during a row with the
man. The whole affair had been taken into
consideration III the first trial, and for that
reason he had been given the utmost INIT of
the law i'll The case, and had served nearly
five years. Then he was brought before the
court to answer on an indictment for an as
sault on the father.
MIR. Nye claimed thai the state should have
had the prisoner brought up at once when
the Indictment was found. Judge Lochren
asked if he had any precedent to show for
his motion to dismiss on the ground that
there had been a delay in the a~rraignment.
He SAID that he had none, but he thought it
an unheard Of thing, in fact, an action that
had not come up before in his memory. Mr..
Than did not argue very strongly against the
motion. but it came out that the old gentle
man VINO had been assaulted still had the
bullet in his head.
The case was argued for a time, and finally
Judge Lochren decided that the hearing
might be continued until next saturday,
when such authorities as can be gathered
viii be brought in to bear on the point at
issue. Mr.. Nye will make a hard battle for
the mans dismissal.

that have been made, but it demonstrates
just as forcibly as would the arrest of a dozen
