His Death Yesterday, After Linger-
ing and Painful Illness.


VIM. E. Lindsay died yesterday morn
ing, about o'clock, at his residence,
No. 1112 West Sixth street. His death
resulted from complication of diseases.
He had been ill for several years and
suffered intensely. He spent last winter
and the early part of the spring near
Asheville, N. G., from which place he
returned week ago yesterday. His
condition gradually grew worse after
his return from the South.
The deceased was born in New Lon
don, Pa, but resided in this city nearly
all his life. With the exception of a
short time, when he was in business in
the South, he was always in the employ
of the Harlan & Hollingsworth Co. He
was given the position of GRAND boy in
1860 and three years later was put in
charge of the company's store. At the
time of his death he occupied the posi-
ton of storekeepor at the ihain store.
This post is one of responsibility and
one that demands in a large degree in
telligence, judgment and fidelity.
He was also member of Delaware
Lodge, A. D. U. W., and for many years
was its recorder.
His wife and six children survive him,
The arrangements for his funeral have
not been made.

shown in figure l was made from one
of those swell front affairs, so familiar
in New England homes of the past,
but of course any similar shape or pat
tern would be equally fitting. To
make the change it is necessary to re-
move the upper drawers, upholstering
the space left thereby-seat, sides and
back. The fat top of the bureau, OF
course, will not be required as such,
and can be utilized as a seat by cutting
to the proper size and mailing In place.
The cushion may be removable and
can be covered with denim, jute, vel
our or corduroy to suit ones purse.
The back and sides should be padded,
covering with the same material as
cushion. Finish the edges neatly
with gimp of suitable color or small
brass headed nails. Should the wood
be dark mahogany any of the shades of
denim now offered will answer admir-
ably, and the pillows and holsters, if
osed, may be decorated to advantage
with outline designs. The suggestion
of using SO humble a material as denim
is with view to economy; more costly
material may be used when desired.
A very handsome little settle may be
fitted up in the parlor in much the
same manner. Figure . illustrates
what may be done in this direction.
Have the bureau we'll scraped so as to
remove all of the old finish. After the
cabinet work is effected give three

coats of white enamel. The settle as
shown here has been decorated with
papier mache or composition orna.
ments, which can be applied with glue
and nailed in place to suit ones fancy.
When hard, these ornaments may be
softened by wrapping in cloth, wrung
out in hot water, after which they may
be twisted to any design required.
House decorators and picture trainers
are large users of such material, and
amateurs may purchase of them. When
such ornamentation is attempted it
should always be previous to the
painting, and may after this latter
process is effected be further touched
up with gold paint. A beautiful
white and gold divan of small dimen-
sions, particularly well adapted for
placing against the back of an upright
piano, can be gotten up in this manner
at small expense. Upholstering OF

These, after being thoroughly mixed,
are reduced to q powder. Placed
