The summer piazza often evolves curiosi-
ties in needlework. The other day, on one,
a woman was seen at work upon pair of
pillow shams, ''crazy embroidery" she
called it, with entire truth. With an in
genuity which some might think worthy a
better cause she was fitting together in
strips that were themselves composed of
bits, samples of machine embroidery on
sheer muslin. They were manufacturer

were thus utilized as large square which
was to be edged with q ruffle OF embroidery
to cover pillows. As an economical scheme
the idea was success: as thing of beauty
the covers were not to be desired.
'tFor years." said woman the other day,
'I have never slept without seeing that a
couple of silk handkerchiefs hung near my
toilet stand and that the bowl was half full
of water. When I was young woman, not
out of my teens, was in a hotel which took
fire. I should have been suffocated if my
uncle, with whom I was travelling, had not
thrown q wet silk handkerchief over my
face. Thus protected followed him through

What promises to be serious impetus to
the advancement of women in the indus
trial arts is foreshadowed by the new move
on the part of the School of Applied Design
for Women. About the middle of Septem-
Der at its rooms. corner Seventh avenue
and Twenty-third street, New York, the
school will inaugurate classes to teach
women how to make designs for wall
papers, prints, carpets and oilcloths, up
holstery materials and other manufactures
where patterns are needed. This means q
great deal to many women and to the
country at large. Women have shown such
aptitude and skill in the work with
scant knowledge that great things are
looked Tor with an opportunity to acquire
technical learning.

.sThe Inpostor."


AS the curtain rose on the first scene in "The
impostor." at Cordrsy's last night, there q
burst OF applause. evoked By the realism OF the
setting. As the play proceeded the audience
warmed up to a pitch of enthusiasm that has
rarely been excelled in the history of the house,
ana expressive approval was accorded the per-
formers in all the strongest situations. At the
close OF the second act, in the death scene of
Lady Ogden, in which Miss Margaret Marshall,
as the aged aristoerat; Miss Stella Rees, a.
kalth Fielding; r E. French. as the lrnpostor.
and DsyidElmer, as the old servant Andrew,
participated, there was a vigorous curtain call.
Miss Margaret Marshall gsve q remarkably i'm
pEessiye portrayal of the proud old lady who
boasted OF her ancient lineage and the unsullIed
reputation of her race. Indeed, this favorite
actress revealed finished talent in
held heretofore almost untouched by
her. The character requires gentle
and weli-toned treatment TO bring out the iull
force and personality of the creation, and Miss
Marshall entered into her work with such
happy conception and skilled preparation that
one lost sight OF her own strong pecGllarties, so
artful was her stimulation of the peculiRglties OF
her subject The character was well costumed
by Miss Marshall, whose makeup was in pleas
ing harmony with an excellent impersonation.

OF Nina Chauncey, and seldom have the rich

Strong Evidence That He Robbed God
win of Check and Cash.

h. s. Doane, who was arrested January on a
charge OF stealing a check for So. 80 and $40 in
cash from the commission house OF J. W. God
win Co., was given a hearing before Justice
Won Tobel yesterday upon a charge of grand
larceny. He was bound over to the superior
court for trial. His bonds were fixed at $500,
and failing to secure them he went to jail.
Up to the time OF his arrest Doape was in the
employ Of the City Bill Posting Company. On
December 81 last he went into Godwin's store
on West street TO hang up a streamer in one of
the windows. 1t was just about time to close
up and, not noticing him, Mr.. Goodwin waited
until the clerks went away aud then closed up
the place. The next morning the door was
found open and a check for $3.50 and
$40 in money was missing from the
cash drawer. It then occurred to Mr..
Goodwin that Doane had not left the
store the evening before and he Immediately
suspected him OF the theft. He notified the po-
lice but nothing was discovered until the fol-
lowing Saturday, when the check came up in
the clearing house. having been cashed by l.. A.
Treen, the shoe man. Doane was then arrested
and identified Us the man who presented the
check at Treen's.
At that time the hearing of the case was con-
tinued until yesterday, in order to allow the
complaining witness to make an important
Eastern trip. Doane testified tho witness
stand yesterday that young man named G..
Blake gave him the check in payment of o loan;
that he presented the check at Treen's, having
bought 80 pair of shoes, and was given s23 50
change. Blake was subp enaed and swore that
he never borrowed any money from Doane aud
never gave him the check.
Doane is about Is years old, and has the ap-
pearance OF a morphine fend. He has lived in
Seattle several years, having an unsavory
record

THAT TRUNK OF OPIUM.
Gus Jansen's Statement Of His Connec-
tfon with the Case.

G. Jansen, formerly baggageman at the North
ern Pacific depot in this city, who has Just ar
rived from Portland, said last night, in refer
ence TO bis alleged implication in the taking of
some opium out OF a trunk which passed
through the depot, that the trunk was never in
his hands at all. He said:
Noticed something suspicious about the trunk
at the time checked it, and after il mad gone
out on the train went up town and. meeting
Customs Inspector Holden, told him Of it, We
went down together and he telegraphed to
Puyallup and had the trunk brought back Ii
arrived the next day and the customs Officers
took it away before l saw it again. / do not
know how much opium was in the trunk, but
thought Holden's actions over 1t were funny.
] never accused him OF stealing the opium. but
when he came down the next night and wanted
me to sign paper, i asked him how much
opium there was in the trunk and when he
said twenty-five pounds, told him that didn't
care to get iEformer's fees on that Iconsidered
that there was much more in the trunk, and
thought at the time that he had made away
with some OF it himself.

EXPOSED THE FRAUD,
How Lady Caught One Of the Baking
Powder Ffeuds.

The fraudulent character of the methods used
to introduce some of the new and inferior bak-
ing powders to the housekeepers OF this vicinity
through bogus chemical tests, performed gen
orally by a company OF women agents, is fully
shown by the following incident: A lady OF
- street, who had been annoyed by the
agents, determined to test the efficacy of the
experiments. and she brought out some of the
baking powder which they were advertising.
The agent submitted the substance to the usual
tests and called the ladys attention TO the
presence of alum, ammonia and other alleged
injurious ingredients which could be distin-
guished by the peculiar odor, the residuum, etc.
The lady. OF course, saw all these unmistakable
signs of so-calied impurities and allowed the
agent full swing to expand upon the merits of
her own cooking powder. The agent finally in
quired of the lady what brand of baking powder
she had been experimenting with. "That baking
powder" replied the lady, sis the same that
you have been cracking up SO high" The agent
turned all colors and beat a hasty retreat
- street has not been bothered with baking
nowder agents since
