Convict Curiey Assaults Another Keeper.
Convict Vim. 'Curley made desper-
ate assault upon Keeper Gus South
wick at jackson prison. When the
keeper came to take away Curley's
breakfast dishes the convict leaped
against the door, knocking Southwicl1
down. Curley then leaped upon him
and began to stab HIM with big
needle used in sewing brooms. Not
withstanding a score of wounds the
keeper regained his feet and fought
.Curley back into his cell and locked
the door. He then summoned help and
was taken TO the hospital where DIR.
Gibson dressed the wounds, some of
which are very serious.
This is the third assault Curley has
made upon his keepers within three
years. His first victim was Foreman
McCieary in the stone shop whom he
nearly killed with a chiscl; next .Dep-
uty Warden Northrup and several
guards were badly injured in a riot in
the shirt factory, led by Curley, Hunt
ley and Boote, for which Curley had 10
years added to the sentence he was al
ready serving.

Hawaii and Japan May Scrap.

Hawaii and Japan are having consid
cradle difficulty over the refusal of the
former to permit the landing of Japan
csc immigrants. Japan called Hawaii
down in strong terms, declaring that
while that government had the right
TO pass reasonable laws respecting inn
migration, the recent action in return
ing the japanese immigrants was a
gross violation of treaties, was arbi-
trary and capriciously enforced and
that the decision of the supreme court
in the habeas corpus cases was denial
of justice, and for that reason the Ha-
waiian government is expected to rec
ognize the principle of indemnity.
Japan also demands assurance that
like action would not be again taken
with japanese immigrants entering
Hawaii. The position taken by the
Hawaiian government is that the inn
migration laws are reasonable eXer-
else OF police power of the state and
that the administration has impartially
enforced them.

TROOPS FIRED ON THE MOB.
Urbana, o., Mob Lynches a Negro After
Troops KIN Two Citizens.


"Cliclk" Mitchell, colored man who
assaulted Mrs. T. M. Gaumer at Ur-
bana, o., was brought before that lady
and readily identified. When his guilt
became known about the town large
crowd surrounded the Jail and threat
ened TO lynch Mitchell. The militia
was called out and placed on guard at
the courthouse and Jail and Mitchell
had to be Struggled through the
crowds to the courthouse disguised in
a soldiers uniform. The assaulter
plead guilty and was immediately
given the extreme limit of the law-20
years imprisonment. the hearing last
ing but few minutes When the
crowd realized that they had been
foiled there was tremendous excite
ment among the 1,500 people on the
streets, but it was not until nearly ?
o'clock in the morning that an attempt
was made to do any violence and then.
as rush was made toward the Jail
the militia opened fire, and az the first
volley killed two citizens-Harry Bell
and Upton Baker - and seriously
wounded seven or eight more.
When the results of the firing be-
came known the local militia refused
to act further and the sheriff wired the
governor for more troops. The Spring
field Guards were ordered out and ar
rived at 7:10 n. IN. The mob steadily
increased and hundreds of women
urged the men on. The mob was con-
stantly abusing the troops and pelting
them with mud, so that the situation
finally became so strained that another
clash and the sacrifice of many lives
was feared. This led Mayor Ganson
to order the guards TO return to the
depot, but no sooner had they gone
than the mob made an attack upon the
Jail in force. Inside of three minutes
they had n rope around Mitchelrs neck
and were leading him out, but as they
came down the steps Mitchell slipped
and fell. In an instant the crowd was
upon him kicking and pounding him,
but the rope was soon readjusted and
the assaulter was swung up to tree
while hundreds of people of all classes
witnessed the spectacle.

woyIer and Gomez Meet in Battle.

Reports have been received Of bat
tie at La Reforma, Sancti Spiritus, in
which Gems. Gomez and Weyler met in
war for the first time. The engage
ment was the result of a plan of Gen.
Weyler to surround and crush Gomez
with an immensely superior force.
The scheme was defeated by the bril-
liant tactics displayed by Gomez. who.
outnumbered by 90 to /, succeeded in
holding the enemy in check for six
hours. Gen. Weyler formed three new
columns in addition to the IL, 900 men
who were already operating against
Gomez in Sancti Spiritus. At the head
of 5000 men he marched upon Gomez
at La Reforma. The two other Span
ish columns of 1000 men each were to
try to take the Cubans in the flank.
Weyler thought that with this second
army he could pen Gomez up and an
initiate him. The Cuban commander
occupied a strategic position and
awaited the attack. The Spanish col
umns were driven back repeatedly, and
even under Gen. Weylers own eye
they fled in terror at the charge of the
Cubans. Weylers horse was shot
three times, and then he retired to the
rear. The Cubans routed the left
flank of the Spanish completely, but
were not strong enough to follow up
their success. The supporting columns
of the Spanish arrived in the thick of
the fray, and Gomez retired to a
stronger position, and, night coming
on, Weyler abandoned the field.

How to Use whalebones.

Genuine whalebone is expensive.
There are several patent Clones" that
are much cheaper and fair substitute
for the true whalebone, but they can
seldom be used second time. Whale
bone will last long time and may be
used repeatedly. Whalebone casing costs
but a small amount and is much better
than any cases that can be prepared
from the waist lining. Purchase it by
the piece. One piece will be sufficient
for lining several bodices. Cut the bones
the proper length. which depends on the
figure.
Most dressmakers soak their whale
bones "a hours before sewing them in.
This is to make them soft and flexible
in order to sew them through to the
waist at the top, in the center and once
or twice more. This prevents the bones
slipping out of place. Cover the seams
with a silk and cotton tape that comes
for the purpose of casing. Do not Use
the double casing. Put the castings on
quite full SO that they have a wrinkled
effect, when the bones are slipped in
and sewed in place afterward. Remem-
Der to let the bones and casing for the
darts extend fully to the top of these
darts, but do not tack them higher than
two inches from the top. Cover the
whalebone at the top, where it is left
loose from the waist, with the casing,
which should be Topped over.-New
York Tribune.

Transparent Photographs.

To make photograph transparent OIL
the back of the paper thoroughly with
clear poppy oil. The photograph should
be unmounted for this purpose, or, if
already mounted, must be removed from
the cardboard by moistening with warm
water. The picture should be painted
after it is again dry if water colors are
used and only transparent washes arc
employed The wax finish is given by
covering the back of the photograph
with coating of fine white wax, which
is run ON thinly and evenly while melt
ed and allowed to dry undisturbed.
The picture is then mounted between
two glasses, which are firmly bound to-
gether at the edges by narrow strip of
paper neatly glued on. One of these
glasses is necessary to protect the wax
from injury behind and the other to
keep the face in good condition. There
is another method, in which the photo
graph is rendered semitransparent with
oil, as above mentioned, and is then sim
ply laid over the wax, which has been
melted and spread smoothly over plate
of glass. In this case the wax has been
tinted previously with strong flesh col.
ors where the face will strike it. Tho
dress, hands, ETC., are treated according
ly, care being taken to keep the differ
ent colors for each part within proper

THE STUDY OF MUSIC.
Early Principles-writing Music

Teaching Early Principles-writing Music
From Memory-sight Reading.
Advanced studies in thorough bass
and counterpoint are for the mature
mind, but the fundamental principles of
harmony-the A B G of music-should
be taught to the beginner. Scales and
chords can be made very interesting if
the pupil is taught how they are con-
structed and trained to hear them both
with the outer and inner ear. Every one
who deals with tones should be able to
hear them, think them and write them.
1t will greatly facilitate both reading
and memorizing music if the pupil be
! led from the outset to recognize the
sound and significance of every interval
and form he uses. He should continu
ally be put to the test by having inter-
vals chords, scales, ETC., played or sung
to him and by being called on to distin
guish them one from the other. He
should also be drilled to write down
passages of music played or sung to him
in groups say of from four to eight
measures.
Writing music from memory is vital
aid in developing the musical intelli
gence 1t will not be found unduly
troublesome when begun in the early
stages of progress. The pupil who can
| properly grasp his musical materials
| should be able to transpose all his exer-
1 cises and studies from one key to an
/ other and to write them down from
memory in their own or any other key.
| This exercise may be the means of lead
| ing to the expression in tones of some
original thought.
Too much attention cannot be paid to
sight reading. A well educated musician
] should be able to read and comprehend
| notes from the printed page, without
the medium of voice or instrument, pre-
cisely as a scholar in other branches can
read from a printed page of words.
| Whoever can read notes in this way
/ will find no difficulty in interpreting
them with the voice or the instrument
| he can command. Teachers are often
afraid of sight reading lest it lead the
pupil into careless habits. There is no
! danger of this, however, where the
! progress has been sure and where the
| music chosen for sight reading contains
! no technical or other difficulties that
have not already been conquered. For
! piano players the reading of four hand
! symphony arrangements is most useful
or of the piano part in good concerted
music with other instruments. Part
singing, without the aid of an instru-
ment, makes excellent sight reading for
two or more voices. A piano player, by
indulging in it, will always find that
| he gains in powers of expression.

why the sponge bag should not present
an attractive appearance, for few en-
terprising women with deft fingers have
certainly afforded models very pleasing
to look upon. Following is description
Of one of these models. which may be
modified to suit the convenience of spe-
cial cases:
The bag under consideration is COM
posed of art serge, in this case deep
shade of heliotrope and embroidered in
fax threads in terra cottas and subdued
green's Procure a quarter of yard or
serge, "a inches wide. which will ma e
two bags. For the lining buy the same
quantity of thin white macintosh of
rubber sheeting. If it is SO inches wide,
it will make two; if "a inches wide,
three bags. But do not buy any interme-
diate width, or it will cut to waste.
Gut your serge i'll two. fold one
piece in half and proceed to trace on it
the design you propose to work. As 1T
is useless to attempt ironing pattern
on to serge, trace it on thin tissue paper,
pin it to the serge and tack along all
the lines with white cotton; then tear
away the paper and you have your pat
tern clearly traced, with the advantage
that it will not rub off, while you can
easily remove any strokes which are un
necessary. The embroidery should be
about all inch from the bottom of the
bag.
When embroidered, place net cloth
on the back of the work and press with
a hot iron. Sew up the bag on the
wrong side to the depth Of 81 inches,
rub the seam open, fold back the edges
of the remaining portion and tack them
down with invisible stitches. Turn the
bag and next prepare the macintosh.
Fold it with the glazed side inward.
stitch each side closely to the same
depth as the serge bag, making it a trif1e
narrower; turn the edge over as if to
fell it, cut little off the under edge
and tack the other over it lightly for
about inches.
Slip this bag (without turning it) in
to the serge one. hem it on to the sides,
turn your serge down just over the edge
