SuggestiOns to Fancy-WOrkers.


In the substitution of pin-trays for
pin-cushions an opportunity is afforded
for covering a part Of the bureau or
dressing-table with pretty sachet. These
are In varying sizes, the smallest being
infinitesimal and the largest vast enough
to conceal the whole bureau top. In the
latter case no other cover IL necessary.
and the toilet accessories are laid upon
the sachet, which. Of course. is fiat. ana
but lightly stuffed with the perfumed
wadding. That Is dainty fancy which
many a woman has now of keeping every
article OF her personal possession suff-
ciently In contact with the one odor she
selects and solely adhcres to for them to
absorb and retain a faint trace of IL.
Combs and brushes. laid with this intent
upon the sachet. acquire an impalpabic
fragrance, which IL deiicately impaired
to the hair on which they are used. No,
thing shows more lack OF taste than the
over-free use OF perfumes The violet.
rose. heliotrope. whichever Is used. should
be family suggested rather than obtru-
sively perceived.
A sachet that was large enough TO
nearly cover a bureau top was among thr
bridal gifts at a very recent wedding. and
was enough out OF the ordinary to merit
description. 1t was made Of violet satin.
scented with violet powder. and tackled
with a pearl bead covering each stitch,
into a wavslike surface. To have done
this successfully the upper part Of the
sachet must have been cut considerable.
larger than the under part. and unless
the satin was as thick and rich as In the
model. thin interlining would have to
be introduced TO keep the pillows from
fattening down. The corners were deco,
rated with very beautiful triangles OF
duchesse lace. which could hardly BE- OBJ
tanned except by cutting q lace handker-
chief into four, and otherwise disposing
Of the cambria centre. The centre of the
sachet was orpamented with large INF
tial. worked with seed-pearls. At those
portions of the edge left between the
lace corners the satin is full enough to
project slightly over and conceal the
edge. SO that no trimming IL required.
The sachets used for covering the bot
tom OF bureau and closet drawers may
be simply covered with silkol!ne or
cheese-cloth. the scent-powder being scat
tered between sheet wadding. Little mus.
lin bags filled with the scent can be used
In shoe-drawers and wardrobes.

My Friend.

The following touching poem was writ
ten in the prison dead-house at Camp
Chase by Colonel W. * Hawkins. A fell
low-prisoner was engaged 10 a beautiful
lady; she proved faithless, and her let
ter came breaking the troth soon after
he died. and this was the Colonel's reply:
Your letter came but came too late,
For Heaven had claimed its own;
All sudden change, from prison bars
Unto the Great White Throne,
And yet ] think he would have stayed
For one more day of pain,
Could he have read those tardy words
Which you have sent In vain.
Why did you wait, fair lady.
Through so many a weary hour?
Had you other lovers with you
In that silken. dainty bower?
Did others bow before your charms,
And Irvine bright garlands there?
And yet, | ween, in all that throng
His spirit had no peer.
| wish that you were by me now.
As ] draw the sheet aside,
To see how pure the look he wore
A while before he died.
Yet the sorrow that you gave him
Still had left its weary trace
And q meek and sanity sadness
Dwells upon his pallid face.
Her love" he said could change for
The winters cold TO spring.:
All trust of tboughtless maiden's love.
Thou art a little thing!
For when these valleys fair. In May.
once more with bloom shall wave.
The northern violets shall bow
Above his humble grave.
Your dole OF scanty words had been
But one more pang 10 bear;
Though 10 the last he kissed with love
This frcsS OF YOUR SOFT hdlr,
did not put IL where he said.
For. when the angels come.
l would not have them ind the sign
OF falsehood in the tomb.
I've read the letter and know
The wiles that you have wrought
To win that noble heart OF his.
And gained it-fearful thoughts
What lavish wealth men sometimes give
For q trife, light and small!
What manly forms are often held
In Fancy's fiimsy thrall!
You shall not pity him. for now
lies past your hope and fear;
Although | wish that you could stand
With me beside his bier.
stlll forgive YOU; Heaven knows
For mercy you'il have need.
Since God Ills awful Judgment sends
On each unworthy deed.
Tonight the cold winds whistle by.
As | my viglls keep
Within the prison dead-house where
Few mourners come 10 weep.
A rude. plank coffin holds him now.
Yet Death gives always grace
Ana ! would rather see him thus
Ihan clasped In your embrace.
Tonight your rooms are very gay
With wit. and wine, and song;
Ana you are smiling. just as II
You never did wrong
your hand so fair that none would think
IL penned these words OF pain;
Your skin SO white--would TO God your
soul
Were half 80 free OF stain.
I'd rather be this dear. dear friend
Than you in all your giee;
For you are held In grievous bonds,
Whom serve. We 10 this life. wa serve

jones L. Trnvers is Prepared to Meet
Death.
Warden Leonard of the District jail to-
day issued the invitations to witness the
execution Of James L. Travers the young
colored man who is to be hanged within
the walls of the prison tomorrow for the
murder Of his mistress Lena Gross, on the
10th of last November. 1t is the purpose of
the warden to limit the number of specta-
tors at the execution, and only that number
of invitations authorized by law has been
issued.
The unfortunate man has become per-
fectly resigned to his fate, and patiently
awaits the terrible ordeal through which he
is to pass in a few hours. confident that he
will pass from this to a better world He
has given up all hope Of a reprieve or COM
mutation of sentence. The mans spiritual
adviser is Father Sullivan of st. Peters
Catholic Church. and the clergyman feels
that Travers is truly penitent.
The warden is directed by the court to ex-
ecute the man between the hours Of 10 A.
m. and l PM, and it is the intention of
Mr. Leonard to have the execution take
place at II O'Clock tomorrow morning.

J. A careful study of the ground was made,
| and a final determination reached In the
/ matter of the location" OF the proposed
building of the Hearst school for girls: The
site selected is the one which was contem-
plated in the plan approved by Mrs. Hearst
when she made the generous offer to the
trustees, which was accepted, to erect A
building to be used as a. girls school. The
committee subsequently, made report of
Bishop Paret, and it has been approved by
him.
The site selected is an attractive location
on the west side of the, grounds near the
| Intersection of Wood1ey road and the pro-
posed Cathedral avenue. In accordance
| with the general scheme of the arrange
ment of the group of buildings the cathe-
dral win be built on the high ground which

and in front Of it will be a court, with the
various buildings arranged in harmonious
groups on each side.

ginning Of the line of buildings on the west
side. and, as stated, will be eligibly and
conspicuously located, with group of fine
forest trees in the rear. The style of ar
chitecture will be the renaissance, and this
style will govern the design of the cathedral
as we'll as the other buildings. 1t Is pro-
posed to begin the excavation for the

AnacOstfa Road Threatened With n
PeremptOry Mandnmus.
As was foreshadowed in The Stars report
OF the case yesterday, Judge Cole this
morning granted a rule against the Ana
costa Railway Company, requiring the
company to show cause why the petition of
VIM. H. Peck for a writ of mandamus to
compel the company to resume the opera
ton of the road should not be granted.
The rule Is made returnable before Judge
Cole at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning.
Awaiting themselves of the leave granted
by Judge Cole yesterday. Messrs. Ralston
and Siddons, counsel for Mr.. Peck. today
amended the petition by stating that the
company had not abandoned the whole of
the road, but were operating but a short
distance of the line. The company was
represented by Mr.. James S. Edwards, who
opposed the Issuance of the rule to show
cause, contending there is nothing in the
general incorporation act or in the special
acts OF Congress authorizing the construc-
ton and operation CT the road which would
warrant the court In compelling a resump.
ton of operations.
Judge Cole. however, thought that the
petition, as amended, at least justified
him n requiring the company to answer
and he directed that the rule to show cause
