SQUARE DOLLY.

centerpiece, but bearing buttonholed
scroll edge.
This is very effective edging IL
nicely worked and filled in the solid
parts, and centerpiece treated in SIM
liar manner would be very pleasing.
In combination with green fern leaves
bright pink edging would be in har-
mony, but if white or cream edging is
preferred it is always satisfactory fin
ish at the edge of fancy pieces.
For cotton table covers, sofa pillow
slips and pillow shams this treatment
of applied centers will be found very
attractive, as, for instance, white
cloth with pink, blue or green patch
and design carried out in the same
shade of linen as the applied patch.
What could be more pleasing than a
centerpiece of white linen and a pale
pink applied center and design of
sweet peas worked in several delicate
tones of pink and blue and the stems
and leaves in light green?
The possibilities of this scheme are
without limit, and while these sugges-
tions are for the centerpiece and doiIies
only it is possible to adapt this idea to
most any piece of embroidery work.
Portieres of blue domino having bor-
derworked in white, with applied white
patches at stated intervals apart, would
result satisfactorily, and lambrequin
of white antique or butcher linen would
present an imposing appearance if
treated with a yellow crysanthemum
edge and applied ecru or light straw col
ored patches, under which the flower
seems to be caught or held by the ectn

A FUTURE POSSIBILITY.

Less than ten years ago, what may
be termed photographic and poster adj
vertising matter was recognized as
original with and almost exclusively
devoted to theatrical pursuits; but,
during the past five years, the COM
merclal advertiser, in keeping with
the times, has also resorted to this
method of announcing his wares, IN
til today they have made such inroaA
into this particular field that theatre
cal advertising matter has been reduc-
ed to secondary consideration.
In the primitive days of bill post
ing, the bill poster not only in the
small towns, but the large as well, uni
less he had absolute control of the
theatrical posting, could not exist.
Now it is quite the reverse. The bill
poster can keep every inch of his adj
vertising boards filled the year round
with commercial work, which. be-
sides being more profitable, is a great
deal less trouble to handle. Theatri-
cal work, no matter how severe the
weather, must go up at stipulatedl
time, while the commercial poster can
be kept over a week, without in the
least depreciating it's face value.
To the ordinary observer, CONNER
cial advertising matter, from an artis-
tic standpoint, is less compact and
far superior in design and color effect
to theatrical work, therefore ii is no.

bic effect on its reader than, PERTAINS.

EMBROIDERY DESIGNS.
A Really Charming Novelty Is the Applied
Center Treatment.

A Really Charming Novelty Is the Applied
Center Treatment.
One of the latest novelties for en-
broidery work is the applied center
treatment when a colored linen patch
is applied to the middle of centerpieces,
doilies, sofa-pillow covers and table
spreads.
Around the edge of patch card is
buttonholed down and caught under
the cord on the stem of flowers and
leaves embroidered on the body linen.
1t is a very effective scheme, and
some beautiful results can be had if
care is taken with the needlework and
in blending the colors.
Two designs are shown in the illus
trations, Que for round centerpiece
and one for a square dolly to match in
general design.
The centerpieces can be made from
IL to "a inches in diameter with the
patch center just half the diameter.
The pattern on this piece is the maid

or diluted, as an air, be caused to COM
bine with carbon, not direct, as in the
case of combustion, but through an in
tervening electrolyte, the energy Of the
carbon may be converted directly into
electrical energy instead of into heat.
Practically the active or oxidizing ele-
ment of the Jacques cell is supplied with
an excess of oxygen by means of an ar
tificial air blast or air pump. The cleo
trolyte, whose first action after the cell
is set up is to release its oxygen, and so
permit it to attac'c the carbon, is thus
continually renewed by fresh charges
of oxygen, which are at once carried to
the carbon for a continued attack. The
carbon is consumed and electric energy
is developed In a corresponding degree,
the rate of consumption and the
strength of the electric current being
gagged by the rapidity with which air
is supplied to the electrolyte compound.
The generating apparatus of the
Jacques cell is illustrated by the accom-
panying cut, from the Chicago Record,
and consists of pot of pure iron, sur
rounded by suitable furnace and con-
tanning caustic soda, into which ex-
tends a circular piece or cylinder of
carbon. Naturally the carbon must be
in such a state that it may serve as
good electrical conductor.
Gas carbon or powdered charcoal,
which has been pressed into form, are
available without special treatment,
burt anthracite coal has to be baked to
give it the requisite conductivity. Com
mercial caustic soda is used, without e1-
polling its usual impurities. In addl-
ton to the foregoing elements, an abr
pump is provided for forcing into the
caustic soda an excess of oxygen, the
air containing the oxygen being carried

By the use of this system, when its
success has been fully assured, the cost

thing like one-fourth of the present
cost, and the expense of maintenance.
or rather attendance, is reduced to a
minimum. There would be no boilers,
no engine, no dynamo, no water TO be
paid for, and no endless amount of sup
plies needed.

CLEvELAND's PRINCETON HOME.


in all directions. To the north are the
links of the Princeton Golf club, stretch
ing away to the Rocky Hill Ridge, five
miles distant. To the south lies the
town, with it's clustering trees and
pretty homes, with here and there a
spire or tower rising above the COM
mon level, and showing the location of
an edifice dedicated to education and
religion.
The presidents new home is of colon,
la architecture. 1t is surrounded by
pines and elms, with spacious lawns and
neatly-trimmed walks and driveways.
1t is pretty, but not extensive. Its d.
mansions are 50x50 feet, with an 81"
about 25x25 feet. Its interior is divided
into Is rooms, with a wide hallway run
ming through the center. 1t is 2H
stories in height, with well-finished
basement. 1t lis built of brick and stone.
with cream-colored stucco finish. Dark
brown trimmings give tasteful aspect
to the building, and the green blinds
in the almost square windows, which
are placed at regular intervals, form
an agreeable contrast with the light yell
low background. At the front of the
house are the conventional white pill
lars of colonial architecture, support
ing cosy portico, and at both ends are
smaller porticoes, with fancy iron sup
ports. A large glass window on tha
street side provides for house plants.
The whole place bears an aspect that
savors of the antique and secluded.
A hedge surrounding an embankment
six feet high shuts out the view from
the avenue, and even at the occasional
openings where walks and drives pierce
the hedge only a meager view of the
house is obtained, the thick foliage of
the pines and elms and laurels almost
hiding the house. The place is well
equipped with an orchard, garden for
flowers and vegetables, a gardeners
house and a well-appointedb barn.

natural colors OF twosshades in green
with the stems of q darn brown.
Before they are worked, however, it
will be necessary to apply the middle
stitch.
Obtain a piece of linen of pale-grcen
tint and cut it to the desired size, ar
range it on the body linen and pin it
fast temporarily, then run a piece of
cord around the edge of it and button
hole it down securely so as to hide the
edge of the green patch. This button
holed and raised edge will form an ex-
ceIlent finish and dividing line, and will
form a center wherein n piece of brio
a-brac or vase or ornament may rest.
With a compass mark circle to indi-
cate the outside of the centerpiece and
buttouhole the outer line in the draw
ing.
A very pretty and novel effect can be
had if the buttonholing is carried out
in the manner illustrated, and by en-
ploying two shades of any light color a
ripplcd or full effect can be produced,
as the illustration shows.
The projecting segments should be
worked with the lighter shade while
the recessed ones are to be carried out
in the darker shade. Long and short
stitches should be employed to obtain
the best results, and the finished edges
should be very satisfactory and pleas
ing.
A portiere of maidenhair fern, forget
me-nots, crysanthemums,s sweet peas or
other suitable blossoms may be worked
on the body linen, and when drawing
them in it would be weH not to crowd
the design, as an open one that is we'll
arranged is very much more satisfac-
tory in result than closely drawn and
huddled-together design.
Small round and square doilies to
match this design in center, pattern
and edge can be made six or eight
inches in diameter, or square, If de-
sired. A very nice set would be one
square centerpiece about 10 inches each
way, one round centerpiece and half
dozen each of square and round doilies,
all worked in the maidenhair fern pat
tern and having pale-green applied CEN
ters. The design for a square dolly.
shown in the other illustrations, is
somewhat similar in pattern to the

Cubans Arc Starving.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-The most
profound distress prevails among many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva.
ton not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
of the facts from sources whose credible
ity cannot be doubted. He has gone to
the length of his constitutional power
in calling the state of affairs to public
attention. The state department. has
exhausted its power and the letter to
the public sent out by Secretary Sher-
man the day before Christmas pointed
out the way to further alleviate the
miserable condition of the reconcen-
trados. Yesterday Assistant Secretary
Day received the sum of $1,000 from
certain charitably disposed persons,
whose names are not disclosed, and this
sum will be RENTED by telegraph to
Consul General Lee It is hoped by
the state department that the Ameri-
can people will come to the relief.

Gage Has Not Resigned.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Secretary
Gage was seen on his return from New
York and questioned as to the truth of
the published report tn at he had ten
dered his resignation to the president
and that it had been firmly declined
with many expressions of confidence
and appreciation of his ability as shown
in his administration of the treasury
department. Mr.. Gage was not in
clined to discuss the matter at length,
but said that he had not rendered his
resignation nor had he any reason to
believe that he and the president we re
not in substantial accord on the great
question now before the country. The
report, he said, probably sprung from
remark he had made to intimate
friends, to the effect that not for any
thing would he embarrass the president
and it he saw he was doing this he
would resign al once.

The Union LABEL.

President Edgar A. Perkins of the In

annual message read before the late con-

ing to say of the use Of union labels and
boycotts:
Nothing offers more for the energy
expended in extending it's influence than
does the union label. Without going
into extended remarks on the question,
1t can be said that it is one of the chief
agencies in furthering our cause. It
makes it possible for us to use our DOW
er for consumers, force that can be
welded to incalculable benefit. There
can be no doubt of the fairness of a
product If it bears the union label.
therefore, the agitation in favor Of the
label should be continued with renewed
vigor. The returns offered are large for
the investment -

WALco:T-TRAcY FIGHT A DRAW
Decision of the Referee Accepted as Emil
nentlY Fair by the Crowd.

DCIiSAoH 81 tHe referee accepted as Emil
nently Fair by the Crowd.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2S.-Joe Walcott and
Ion Tracy met last night for six rounds
IN the Winter Circus building at Har-
mon court and Wabash avenue. The
decision Of the referee was a draw, the
decision being accepted as eninently a
fair one by the crowd. Before the fight
1t was announced that if Walcott won
the fight he was open to fight for the
mlddleweight championship of the
world, "and," said Sol Van Praag, who
made the announcement. she has posted
$1 900 with Louis Houseman Of Chicago
as forfeit and he prefers Kid H-cCoJ."
This was greeted with jeers ly the
crowd and loud cries of s'Lavigne, La
vigne." O'Rourke then authorized the
announcement that Walcott was
matched to fight Kid Lavigne at 1877
pounds, the fight to come off Feb. % in
San Francisco. Walcott was the first
in the ring and was followed quickly
by Tracy. In the latter's corner were
Billy O'Connell, Joe Choynski and
Billy Stiff. Behind Walcott were Bob
Armstrong, Billy White and Tom
O'Rourke. Geo...,e c-4cr acted as ref
cree. WalcJvy weighed very close to
100, Tracy between l43 and 145.
