Washing Cotton Dresses.

If cotton dresses are properly made, there is no reason why they should not be washed many times. To make up sateens and ginghams with boned basques, heavily lined skirts and velvet bound edges is an absurdity. Bodices and skirts may be made together, belt ing in by means of draw ribbon, which, being loosened, reduces the gown to straight lines without folds. The frills and founces about the should DTS are all set on draw ribbon headings and can also be let out fiat. The big sleeves are supplied with an armhole set with draw ribbon, by which it is narrowed for wear and widened for washing. Serpentine bodices are used also for wash dress designs, these bod ices being practically two straight sash pieces. There are no bones. Lace, if used on these gowns, is of good heavy washable, really more to be used than lace If ribbon is employed, it is made into bows easily adjusted and removed, or it is used under insertion of lace or embroidery, and so can be pulled out when the gown goes to the tub.-Bos- ton Courier.

Royal Pin Money.

The Princess of Wales long retire ment has enabled her to save much of her pin money-e10, 900 a year-and bring it ahp to comfortable amount.

MAY PROVE DOUBLE MURDER.
One Unknown Italian Dead and
His Companion Dying.
Both Found Alongside n Railroad
Track Near Setauket.

PORT JEFFERSON, L. l., Sept. H.-
Word was received here to-day that two
Italians, one dead and the other dying,
had been discovered this morning near
the Setauket depot. All the Indications
so far as known seem to point to double
murder.
1t Is supposed that the men have been
employed heretofore on the new line of
the road. The Coroner from this Place
was summoned and he Is now at seatau-
ket con llcting an investigation.
Since most OF the Italians at work on
the new railroad are known only by
numbers, 1t may be impossible to obtain
the names
Sctauket is about two miles from here.
The bodies OF the men were discovered
by the engineer of the first train on the
Long Island Railroad going west. He
pot and word was Immediately sent to
the officials here. The body of the dead
man was lying about thirty feet from
the rlilroad track. His head was crushed
In and he was badly cut. 1t appeared
as II it had been crushed by cub by
his side was lying bunch Of corn. He
seemed to be about hfty years old.
The dying man was lying on the oppo-
site side OF the track and not far
from where the body of the dead man
lay. He was unconscious, Or. Bates,
o. Setauket, worked over him and sue
coded in restoring him to semi conscious
ness. The man could not tell how he
was hurt His head was badly cut and
II looked as II IA club had been used.
Justice Wheeler, Of Port Jefferson,
was sent for and he telegraphed to
Coroner Bennett II the dying man is
alive when this afternoons train leaves
Setauket for patchogue. he will be
taken to n hospital there
There are two theories advanced. One
Is that the two Italians had been out
stealing corn and were surprised by
some farmer and his assistants and
beaten. The bunch of corn found lying
near the body OF the dead man would
seem to strengthen this theory. An
other theory advanced Is that both the
Italians were out walking and were set
upon by gang of toughs, who thought
they had money, and were finally over
powered and one beaten to death with
clubs
