A BOOK HOLDER.


From a piece of dark brown channels
cut an oblong which, when folded, viii
q little more than cover the back and
sides of an ordinary book. 1t can be
stiffened by pasteboard cut nearly as
large, or by that very stiff canvas used
for mems clothing but purchasable Mt
dry goods stores, in which case a lining
Of silk, satin or satcen, of any chosen
shade, must be inserted. The outside
can have n design painted or outlined,
with some suitable motto in quaint let
tering.
Still another way TO make it is to
stiffen it with ribbon wire. which is fat
and can be laid entirely around the OBJ
long near its edge. 1t is covered with
ribbon held down by feather stitching,
which forms the decoration of the case.
If this is done. the ribbons for carrying
1t ought TO be placed around the case 70
they will pass under the book as 1t hangs
from the arm. Several books, large and
small, or packages of pamphlets and
written documents can easily he tied
in the case, and a little pocket made
of q bit of the chamois pasted in
side will hold visiting and business
cards, or an Identification paper in case
Of accident. On this pocket the full
name and address of the owner can be
painted or stitched. for after all there is
a possibilty-women are but human
that the book may be lost, case and all.
Any of the following may be put on the
outside Of the case:
"A book for companionship," They
are never alone who ara accompanied by
noble thoughts" "A friend always ready
TO talk or keep silence" "A good book
aud dear" "For solitary hours"

STRIKE AT INDIANAPOLIS.
AL the Street Car Lines in the City
Tied Up.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. %. - Another
strike of the street railway employees
was inaugurated this morning, and not
car was permitted to move on any of
the lines today. An effort was made
during the morning to bring out car
on the Brightwood line, but the strikers
showed determined front and the
company soon concluded that it would
be best To abandon the attempt. There
was full meeting of the brotherhood
this morning and they were unanimous
in favor of tying up the lines. Presi-
dent Frenzel today addressed letter to
Mayor Sullivan outlining the situation
and demanding police protection. II
this is not gwen, he says, he will hold
the city responsible for any loss that
may thereby ccclr to the company.
He recites tine fact that the strikers
have grounded the electric wires on all
lines and have threatened violence il
an attempt is made to move cars. This
attempt, he says, will be made in the
morning II he has any assurance OF
protection. A rumor was current to-
day that men would be brought here
from Chicago.

MATHER WANTS TO BE SINGLE.
She Brings Suit Against Emil Haberkorn
for Divorce.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-It was learned
late last night through q theatrical
friend of Emil Haberkorn that the lat
ter had teIegraphed to Chicago saying
his wife, Margaret Mather. had entered
suit for divorce here, and desiring par
t;culars. Mr.. Haberkorn is employed
IN David Henderson's Pittsburg house,
the Duquesne thea,er, as orchestral
leader. While he will make no opposi-
ton to divorce proceedings and has
partially expected their institution for
some little time. his natural curiosity
as to what charges will be made against
him prompted him to ask for particu-
lars.
No opportunity has presented itself
to gain access to the bills OF complaint,
If indeed the bill in question has not
been suppressed. Neither could Mr..
Henderson be found when the news
was received. The report of unpleas-
ant relations between Miss Mather and
her husband comes TO the public With
out having been preceded by any
rumors. Mr.. Haberkorn's own con-
lecture is that his wife has sued on the
ground of desertion.
