Illinois Steel Company Declared Illegal b.
the Jones Island Attorney.

Illinois Steel Company Declared Illegal BY
the Jones Island Attorney.
Milwaukee, Oct. 2S.-The validity of
the organization Of the Illinois Steel
company was fiercely attacked In the
United States court yesterday. 1t was
asserted that not only Is the company
not citizen OF the state OF Illinois but
that 1t Is the illegal outgrowth Of two
other corporations, which are also al
legged to have been illegally incorporated.
Attorney Rublee A. Cole raised the
question in the trial of the first Of the
eviction suits filed by the steel company
against Jones island residents.
The steea company was formed In 1850
by the consolidation Of the North Chi
cago Rolling Mill company and the Un-
Ion Steel company. 1t is contended by
Cole that the organization Of these two
corporations was in violation OF the re-
vised statutes Of Illinois and ii was fur
Their asserted that the consolidation Of
the two companies was illegal.

1t was not robbery but revenge" was
the statement made by one official Of the
road yesterday. when the party of
twenty-six roadmasters Of the New
York Central system arrived at the
scene early Monday morning and COM
menced q critical survey Of the section
Of the embankment which had been
either washed or blown out, one Of the
roadmasters, a man who had great ex.
perience in the use of dynamite, said
that. the excavation looked to him very
much like the work Of dynamite.
THE tendency Of dynamite is to blast
downward rather than upward or out
ward, and one of the most expert track
builders OF the railroad says that a very
light charge Of dynamite would have
collapsed section of track fully as ex-
tensive as the section in question. The
locomotive was found in the river at
least thirty feet south of the depression
in the track, which makes 1t seem rea.
sonably certain that the engine leaped

FRAME FOR BRIDAL PARTY.

should be chiefly of gilt, on the white
ground, touch of color being given by
a dainty pink, blue or green, forming
the main decoration on the top of each
oval Except the central ones), and out
lined with gilt. as also are the broken
lines of the mosaic pattern.
The Napoleonic wreaths are of course
green, but the ribbons should match
the color used in the other decorations.
The heading about the central open
ings is also gilt.
A pretty variation of this design may
consist of a vine of leaves, forget-me-
nots, pink rosebuds, or any flower de-
sired, inclosing the rim of the oval,
which latter still remains gilt, the
flowers being added to the design as
it now appears.
When the painting is finished the por-
traits should be glued into position,
and the whole framed i'll passepartout,
the glass being securely held by linen
tape, which, when bound about the
edge, lasts longer than paper and may
be either left white or glided to match
the rest of the design.
On the back, winch should be OF thln

linen tape, two little brass rings to

EFFECT OF coLoRs.
II should ne Studied Wen Before q
House IL Decorated.

There are colors that are refreshing
and broadening, others that absorb
light and give boxed-up appearance 10
a room, others that make room with a
bleak northern exposure, or with no ex-
posure at all, appear bright and cheer
full; some that make a room appear
warm, some that make it cold.
The thermometer seems to fall six
degrees when you walk into blue
room. Yellow is an advancing color;
therefore, room fitted up in yellow
will appear smaller than it is.
On the other hand, blue of a certain
shade introduced generously into a
room will give an idea of space. Red
makes no difference in regard TO size.
Green makes very little.
If bright, sunny room gets it's light
from a space obtruded upon by russell
colored or yellow-painted houses, or
else looks out upon a stretch of green
grass, it should be decorated in a color
very different from the shade chosen if
the light comes from only an unbroken
expanse of sky.
Red brings out in a room whatever
hint of green turks in the composition
of the other colors employed
Green needs sunlight to develop the
yellow in it and make it seem cheerful.
If olive or red brown be used in con-
junction with mahogany furniture. the
effect is very different from what it
would be if blue were used. Rlue would
develop the tawny orange lurking in
the mahogany.
If ceiling is to be made higher leave
it light, that it may appear to recede.
Deepening the color used on the cell
ing would make it lower--an effect
desirable if the room is small and the
ceiling very high. Various tones of
yellow are substitutes for sunlight

BRIDAL PARTY FRAME.
An Original Idea for the Preservation
of Interesting Pictures.

The design accompanying this de-
scription shows an original idea for
preserving the individual photograph
of bridal group. The central ovals
may frame the faces of the bride and
her maid of honor, while the six brides
maids fill the other spaces. Another
arrangement may consist of the bride
and groom as central figures, the maid
of honor in the upper central small oval
and the best man below; the four cor
ners being occupied by the two brides
maids and two ushers, if a smaller
wedding party has been more expedient
than the one with the greater number
of participants.
The frame is very simply made, on a
piece of water color paper of any size
preferred, the oyals being first careful
" drawn in position and the decora-
tions then put in place. This latter

The contents of saucepan should
never cook. unless the recipe expressly
states to the contrary, without a cover
over them. Not only is the steaming
usually beneficial to the article in ques-

fill the kitchen it harms the walls ano
furniture. Moreover, it imparts that
smell of cooking. not to the one room
but more or less to the whole house
which is so disagreeable and is what Is
