most of the effect depends upon the
colors and materials employed for it.
OF course it is made up on q founda-
tion of stout cardboard, which is cut
into diamond shape and used with
one point uppermost, the brush being
slipped into a loop specially made for
it. Cut piece of MORE, or of satin. or
velvet. or plush, for the front, just
about one-half inch larger all round
than the cardboard. Cut also a band
Of buc)kram about two inches wide.
and three inches longer than will
stretch acrose the diamond horizontal
ly from point to point. Cover this buck
ram with plush or velvet to accord with
the rest of the covering, and line the
middle Of this band with a scrap Of
silk; the ends need not b. thss lined.
Sew plumber of little imitatio., gems,
or large spangles, at equal distances
along the center Of this band, and add
some small pompons or drops of some
kind to the lower edge. Lay this band
across the center of the satin from
point to point, sew 1t down firmly at
each end from the wrong side, but
leave the exact middle of the band
slack SO that the handle Of the brush
will slip easily into it. The reason for
lining the middle part of the band is
now obvious.
Now stretch the satin very tightly
over the cardboard, drawing the raw
edges together on the wrong side with
lacing stitches OF strong thread. Be
careful to get the band in the middle
quito straight, forsthe holder will be
anything but ornamental if this is
crooked. 1t is as we'll to add the cord
round the edges below the band, the
bow at the tip Of tho point. and the ring
to hang the holder up by, before lining
the back neatly with sateen or a piece
of plain silk.
1t IS quite possible to make up the
feather brush itself at home, if the
worker is anxious for the whole thing
to hc OF her own workmanship. or If
she happens to have n number of fancy
feathers that she would like to use up
A turned" stick is needed, which may
either be gilded or enamelled. Take
the shortest of the feathers and arrange
them with the tips downward round the
lower edge of the stick. Tie them firmly
in place with some fine Irvine, and glue
this we'll to prevent it from coming I'M
tied. Add a second set of feathers
rather longer than the others. and Sc
cure them also with fine Irvine, gluinR
this as before. Continue this until the
brush is full enough, and hide the ends
of the last set Of feathers with ''sugar-
paper" shaped piece Of velvet, secured
here and there with touch of glue, and
having a band of wide gold braid tackled
round the upper edge to hide the place
where the velvet and stick meet. The
lower edge of the velvet should be van
dylked. 1t is a good plan to use kid or
leather instead Of velvet. and there
should be no difficulty in getting this
of a good and suitable color, as many
boolxbinders will dispose of scraps left
over from their own work.

Rumors OF Royalist Moves Baseless-Fcw
Natives Being Registered.
HONOLULU, Aug. 1s.-Before the &C.
par ture of the cruiser Philadelphia
there was great talk among the Roy
alists and their sympathizers of what
would be done when there was no
American ship here to protect the in
terests of the present government.
But week has passed and nothing
has been done. The English cruiser
Champion still remains, although
there are rumors of her departure in
the near future.
The war between Japan and China
has resulted in meeting between
Fulfil, the japanese consul, and Goo
Kim, who represents the Chinese gov
eminent, and both have absolutely
forbidden their countrymen to discuss
the war. as there are so many of each
race in the islands that there NAV be
serious trouble.
The registration of voters under the
laws of the new republic is proceed
ing, but rather slowly. The great
majority of those who register are
whites. The natives are still under
influence of their leaders and will not
come in. Not enough Hawaiians can
be found who are willing to take the
oath necessary to enable them to do
jury duty, and it is probable the coun-
ellis will pass a law which will enable
white men to try native cases.

to the rumor that they were killed.
Both escaped uninjured and later re-
joined the chase.
Fred Marshall, night operator at
Mayfair, told his version of the en-
counter at Mayfair and the shooting
of Special Officer McGrath. I'VE had
received instructions" said he. from
the chief train dispatcher to look
out for the men who murdered
Pat Owens, the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul officer at
Deerield few miles north. 1t was
about $40 o'clock this morning when
Conductor Simmons jumped from the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul freight
as IL came to stop at the Mayfair
crossing. Simmons told me that he
thought he had the men that killed
Owens in a car near the end of the
train. ! told McGrath, who had his
uniform on to stay out of sight as
much as possible. When l reached
the coal car in which the men were
hiding thought l recognized them
from descriptions as the ones wanted
for Owens murder. l called out to
McGrath: All right, come on. Nc
Grath came and started to climb upon
the ear, drawing his gun as he climbed.
One of the men, the largest and
most burly fellow, drew gun so
large that he had to use both
hands to operate it. He fred point
blank at McGrath. who fell badly
wounded at the first fire. | thought
1t best to run away, as l had no gun.
The murderous fellow took aim again
at the officer as McGrath was regain
ing his feet and another bullet crush
ed into his body. A third bullet was
fred into McGrath and then the COM
panion to the murderous thug drew
two big revolvers, which he fourished,
and yelling like demons, the pair
jumped off the opposite side of the
train and ran toward Milwaukee
avenue, where they met the farmer
whose wagon they took to make their
escape"

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.-President Debs
Of the American Railway Union was
recalled to-day by the strike commits
sion. He stated that he did not favor
compulsory arbitration in settlement
of labor troubles. He did not believe
that such a method would prove uni
Versally satisfactory. Asked if he
knew Of any dissatisfaction among the
Rock Island employees previous to the
strike, he said that there had been
trouble among the telegraphers of
the road and there was much dissatis-
faction. The statement that there
were not more than 200 American
Railway Union men on the Rock Is
land was absurd. The fact that the
road was completely tied up e ffectual-
ly disprOves such story.
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor was
the next witness. He prefaced his
testimony by brief outline of the
aims and principles of the federation
and gave figures showing the mem
bers of the organization. He told of
the calling of the conference of the
heads Of the labor organizations at
the Briggs house here and said that
after long elaboration the delegates
decided to request President Cleve-
land to attempt to settle the strike.
1--WE thought" he declared, that
If Mr.. Gladstone could do so
much good service in the Eng
fish coal strikes such an attempt
could not be beneath the dignity of
the president of the United States.
Accordingly a telegram was sent to
Mr.. Cleveland asking his aid. To that
message he did not deign to reply. In
fact, he took not the slightest notice
OF it. Mr. Debs was then called upon
and gave a history of the boycott, the
Pullman trouble and the railroad
strike. We considered the matter
carefully, and finally decided that we
could not order a general strike.
That it would be a uSurpation of
power and would for many reasons
be unwise. The delegates expressed
their sympathy with the movement
and soon afterwards we adjourned"
Mr.. Gompers explained that to eff
feet a general strike all the unions
participating must apree and said II
would have been impossible for the
Briggs house conference to have de-
clared general sympathetic strike.
Asked for his opinions as to methods
for preventing strikes, he said: 81 do
not condemn strikes as heartily as do
some men. | believe that so long as
present conditions exist they are nee
essary and | believe that all strikes
do good in calling attention to the
fact that laboring men will not be
driven further down into poverty. |
think the action of the strikers in par
alyzing the railroads of the country
was justifable."
Gompers was frankly uncompli-
mentary in his opinions regarding
the strike commission. Il think this
thing is rather late in the day." he
said. This examination by the COM
missioners is rather in the nature of
an inquest on a dead body. don't
anticipate great good from the pres
ent investigation.

murders, tried to rob a bank three
times, passed half a dozen forged

eide.
Folsom's companions obtained money
for him on forged checks. When one
was refused payment he plotted to
kill the bank cashier. The scheme
fell through, as the man engaged to
assist lost his nerve. On Friday last
he placed an iron rail on the Bath
and HammOndspOrt track, but the
obstruction was seen in time. Last
Monday, five houses, four barns and
gristmill were destroyed by fire.
When the officers appeared at Fol-
SONS house the young man grabbed a
butcher knife and tried to cut his own
throat. lie then dashed to the street
and threw himself in a nearby pond.
He was nearly drowned.
FolsOm's wife is the 17-year- old

the village. The ceremony was per-
formed by minister who had previ-
ously been adjudged insane.

IN the city two days, says that there
will be 10, 900 knights guartered there
in organized bodies, while many un-
attached members of the order are
expected. Already groups of uni
formed knights are here.
No little interest is attached to this
gathering, because Washington is the
birthplace of the order. It's founder,
Justus II. Rathbone, was a govern
ment official and it was established
in February, 1864, originally intended
as a fraternal and protective society
for government department clerks,
but it was conducted on lines which
gave it great popularity and its mem
bership has increased to 500 900.
Marines hall, where the first meet
ings were held, is still standing, and
will be occupied as headquarters of
the grand lodge of the District of
Columbia during the conclave.
