court Judge Carver, of the court of ap-

sisting mainly of different sized holes,
that is familiar to everybody who has ever
had access to ancestral trunks. Enor-
mously wide petticoats used to be adorned
with this hand embroidery at the cost of
an incalculable amount of labor, time and
eyesight, but the invention of machinery
for embroidering, which can turn out
yards of work in a short time for small
price, has made hand work a rarity which
only the very wealthy indulge in, and they
want but the finest and most delicate sort.
So the hole embroidery has been sunk in
oblivion until this last year or so, when the
rage for revival has called forward an inli-
tation much prettier than the original.

not speak half dozen words without
raising the brows, frowning, contracting
the eyelids, wrinkling the nose, twitching
the mouth or indulging in some other IN
necessary movement of feature. While
blank immobility of countenance is by no
means to be desired, this habit of continual
restlessness is not attractive in itself and
leaves many traces in the shape of lines
and wrinkles. Equally pernicious is the
habit, unconsciously formed, of course, of
frowning when going to sleep, as the fore
head remains corrugated, and ill tempered
looking lines become settled between the
eyes.

At a called meeting of the Kindergar-
ten assocition Saturday afternoon at the
home of Mrs. T. E. Bowman, the advis-
ability of reopening Bethany kindergar-
ten was informally considered.
A canvass having been made to ascer-
tain the number of available pupils, it
was decided that a school in that locality
might probably be made to pay for itself.
This being one of the considerations, the
only remaining one WAS the question of
teachers.
Mrs. H. E Overholt, who has always
been the principal of that kindergarten,
is one of the must thoroughly equipped
kindergartners both by nature and train
ing.
But the fact that there is not available
a single trained assistant to give her,
and that such an assistant is necessary in
school of the size which Bethany kin
dergarten must be, in order to be self
sustaining, it was decided that the school
could not be reopened this season.

LAW DOES NO GOeD
For the Sweat shops of Chicago, When it
is State Law.

For the Sweat Shops of Chicago, When it
is State Law.
CHICAGO, March, 9-The sweat shop
and the system that supports it, were
under consideration in Central music
hall last evening. Nine speakers, repre-
senting the pulpit. the bar, the state gov
ernment. and trades most closely ident-
fed with the sweat shop, explained its
history, its operation, evils of its exist
ence and it's tenacity of life, and suggest
ed methods of reform. A large audience
was present.
A glance showed that it was composed
of people in all stations of life. From
men and women with toll hardened hands
to practical working phllanthropists, pro
fessional men and women, thinkers, and
lastly, men and women from whose hearts
all sympathy is not shut out by garments
of silk and sealskin.
Jane Ad dams, who has found life
work in the district where the sweat
shops most flourish, presided.
Judge M. F. Tuley said: "If all men
and women were what they ought to be,
If they could treat each other as hum an
beings, there would be no need of legis-
lation TO get rid of the sweat shops
recommend to our preachers that they
make missionaries of themselves, GO
among these manufacturers and sweat
bosses and convert them to a Christian
job. The only other way is to appeal to
The law. That has been tried.
"But when l remember the fate of
every law ever passed in this state to
ameliorate the condition of the common
people, l hang my head in shame. If
passed by the legislature, it has gone to
the supreme court and has been declared
Unconstitutional. The time of our juGg es
is spent in raking over the musty laws of
200 years ago. They are not keeping up
with the times.
ave now talk of appeal to federal law
and federal courts. | have not made a
critical review of this bill, but l know
our federal courts are more progressive
than our state courts.
1The court that could not find warrant
in the constitution for an income tax
could find warrant in it for a tax on
oleomargarine. A court that could find
warrant in the constitution to suppress q
Debs ought to be able to find warrant
for a bill to suppress sweat shops.
"The oleomargarine bill became a law
because it benefited the farmers and
farmers have votes. l say to you that
the power to suppress the sweat shop
lies in organization in your unions.
When you have your unions organized
and your votes under your own control
then you will get legislation"

SPRING MATERIALS.
Striped Silks and Satins-Thin Muslins and
Flower Designs.


Flower Designs.
Black and white form combination
still used for some of the most fashionable
costumes. Black and white striped silk
and black satin trimmed with white are
effectively employed, touch of some bril-
liant color being added.
The new Inuslins and nainsooks are very
thin and sheer, requiring to be made up
over a lining. This lining is usually
tinted to match the color which prevails
in the design printed the muslin.
Women who can afford it have silk lin
ings, but this is not really necessary, a
good effect being secured by the use of fine
sateen of thin quality.
Flower patterns prevail among printed
cottons and are treated in the natural
style. They are extremely pretty and del
icate. There are also oriental designs and
other more or less conventional figures,
but flowers predominant. They are in one
color or several colors on light ground,
and lace and ribbons form tho trimming
of costumes made of these lowered goods.
A great deal of very open embroidery is
used for summer gowns and for children's
garments. This seems to be an Imitation

COURT HOUSE ACCEPTED.

The COmmi SSH Omers Take Money
From the General Fund 10 Pay the
contractor.
The county commissioners have formal
" accepted the new court house and
Contractor Stevenson has drawn his last
warrant amounting to about $4,000.
The difficulty about the funds has
finally been settled. The county attor-
ney gave a written opinion that the
$4,000 taken from the court house fund
to pay for the lots condemned might be
turned back into the fund and that it may
be taken from the county general rev.
cue fund for that purpose.
It was accordingly ordered that this be
done and the money was turned over to
the contractor. This leaves the court
house paid for as it stands, but the work
of fixing up the grounds is yet to be
done.

New YORK, March 9.-Today the Ma

send $4,000 to Constantinople. 1t is
stated by the committee that the distri-
button of money is now being made
among the Armenians and that, at pres
emf. the great obstacle to the work of re-
lief is lack of funds rather than opposi-
ton on the part of the Sultan.
Mr.. Stephen E. Barton, of Westerly, r.

a large quantity of relief supplies to the
