cushions, if finished with frill and
bows of light-colored satin ribbon.
Hay, excelsior, hair straw and feath-
ers are used to fiji these variously
designed cushions to the heavier ones
of which should be added a small loop
of strong silk cord or leather.
Any man will find n scarf pin case
most acceptable; for that matter, SO
will any young lady who owns a
goodly collection of sticlI-pins. A
dainty case recently seen was made
of an oblong piece of pale blue satin,
about three inches in length and sew
en- in width. This was lined with
pink quilted satin, and the joining of
the edges was concealed by ruching
of narrow pink satin ribbon. A strip
of wider ribbon bands this case when
not open. Yellow with white, garnet
with pink, gray with red, pale green
with white, are other dainty combi-
nations for these pretty articles.
Odd scraps of celluloid, satin, silk,
velvet, etc, serve in making beauti-
full little stamp boxes. A box can be
made by Joining together, with but
tonhole stitch, four oblong pieces of
silk covered cardboard. A heart

cred with silk and decorated with
simple needleworlS, can be fastened
to this 10y small bow of satin rib
bon. A pretty model seen was of
white and green silk, the cover
worked with silk floss in daisy de-
sign. A square box of pinkish cellu-
loid had n cover Of the same hand
painted with pink and white clover
blossoms and leaves. This was at

green satin ribbon tied in tiny bows.

tending from the upper corners to the

yellow satin baby ribbon.

Pretty Gifts "NIad

Pretty Gifts "Made Out OF Nothing"
The eyes of fair sojourners in the
fancy work departments of our large
stores are delighted with the various
lovely articles, so attractively
displayed. The average wontn,
"never so happy" as some one ssid,
''as when creating something out of
nothing" saves and boards scrap3 of
pretty materials for many months,
and early in the autumn sets to work
to make many varieties of this all
important something"
This year the pretty, useful silk,
satin and cardboard articles and the
dainty little knicknacks are more at
tractive and less intricate than ever
before, and so, only time, inexpensive
materials, and a bit of feminine in
genuity are required in fashioning
them.
Among the bits appropriate as gifts
for men are scarf pin cases, brush
and comb cases, bachelor pillows,
stamp boxes, waste-paper baskets,
Tobacco pouches, newspaper pockets,
penwipers, photo holders, etc. 1

reason that many women frequently
worry on a headache in thinking

timely suggestions are therefore in

The Elliot Brings No Important News
From the Scene OF the Disturbance.
The steamer Elliot. from Bluefelds,
which arrived at Tybee Sunday night at
7:3O o'clock, came up the river yesterday
morning. She brought 10000 punches
of bananas.
Capt. Brown. of the Elliot. says there
has absolutely nothing of interest hap
pened since his LAST trip to the Mosquito
reservation, and that when he left things
were more quiet than they had been 3t
any time since he had been going there.
The San Francisco and the New YORK
are still on the scene, but the British
man-Of-War had left Bluefelds before
Capt. Brown arrived. The Mosquito chief,
Clarence, he says while he has been car
ried back to Bluehelds, has not been rein
stated, as has been rumOred in some re-
ports sent out. The excitement over the
escape of Aguella. the murderer of the
American, Wilson, has subsided. though
the criminal has not been recaptured, and
very little attempt is now being made to
find him. 1t was believed that he was
spirited away by the Nicaraguans.
When asked why some determination
were not reached with regard to the situa-
tion in the reservation, Capt. Brown said
it was on account of the delay of the
American government. He said ever
since the American government had inter
fered on account of the landing Of the
British soldiers on the bluff, the people
there have been asking why the United
States does not take some action at once
to relieve the situation and restore trade
to its condition before the outbreak.

THE CYLINDER COLLAPSED.
Thomas Gross Crushed and Drowned
Under Lazaretto Bridge.


Thomas Cross, a negro, aged about %
years, employed at the Lazaretto creek
bridge on the Tybee railroad, was killed
yesterday by the collapse of the large
iron cylinder which is being built under
the bridge to hold the stone pier.
The cylinder was made of sheetiron
three-eights of an inch in thickness and
was twenty feet in diameter. In this
was to be placed the stone con
crete and cement that was 10
form the pier to hold this draw
bridge in place. This pier is to take the
place Of the old pile pier which was almost
destroyed by the tornado.
The cylinder had been sunk to a depth
of twenty feet or more, and the water
was being pumped out Of it preparatory
TO putting in the stone and cement. The
strain outside, however, it seems was
greater than had been calculated upon
Cross was down in the cylinder chucking
up the cracks to make ii water tight
Several other men had been working in
it with him, but they had left the cylin-
der, and he was the only one inside it when
the crash came. The cylinder gave in un-
der the strain without any warning and
it cannot be known whether Cross was
killed outright by being struck by the
crashing iron or was drowned. probably
it was the latter
Coroner Dixon was notified and the
body was brought to the city and taken
to the mOrgue, where it was prepared for
burial. 1t was then taken to the home of
the dead mans family, at No. Margaret
street.
1t is not known whether the cylinder
can be Strengthened out or whether an
other one will have TO be built as a casing
for the stone pier.
