SUGGESTIONS FOR MACHINE
SEWERS

When there is a very large amount Of fine stitching to be done on the machine, when goodly pile of sheets, table-linen, white froclSs, tucking and ruling has accumulated, then let the house sewer select day of damp moist atmosphere. or even one of 1air. for her task, secure that she will be able to run off one long seam after another. without any of that snapping of the thread at the same time so trying to the patience and so injurious to the appearance of the work For, as with the lace-makers, who are obliged to work In damp rooms lest the delicate threads they weave may break and spoil the precious web, the moist air of the rainy day renders the thread of the machine supple and elastic, and better able to bear any tension without break ing
 | It would really be saving of time and temper if the house sewer wouldlay 1 aside such work for suitable weather-a day in summer when the warm air is saturated with moisture, or one in winter when fog and thaw render exercise out of doors unpleasant for then the thread of the sewing machine is on its best behavior.
 l A current of air of the breeze from an open window will cause the thread to break, even though the barometer is below change" and the little color 1 barometer has gone from blue to violet | nptthor rh "a the fire of the radiator
 A correct eye is everything in doing machine work well. But there are a few common-sense points that may be told without waiting to learn by ex- perience. For instance you can stitch more evenly on the right of the press | er-foot with the bulk of material lying to the left than the other way. The tendency of the feed, or teeth, is to throw the work somewhat off, as well as on, and the stitching is better guided | on this side.
 When you are stitching a seam, with one piece bias and one straight, let the bias side come next the feed-that is, be cn ae undn- side. This is especially important in thin materials Naturally the feed takes up the side to it little faster. When the bias, or crossway, side is to it, the machine feeds" all right But if the straight edge is toward it, there will be pucker.
 We use so many machines now in our daily life that we may make one word of caution serve for sewers, as well as for the faithful sewing machine: Keer

ATTACKED THE TRAIN
A Band of Bad Boys Who Threw Rocks
at the Train

For some days past the trains on the
Redondo road have been made the object
of attack by number of small boys at
Golden. Whether they imagined themselves
a party of Cuban patriots and the little mar
row gauge trains conveyances filled with
Spanish troops is not known, but they GER
talnIy acted as If they did. Whenever the
cars would pass that point, which is two
miles south of University station, the
youngsters would assail 1t with voley Of
stones.
On Monday several rocks passed through
the car windows and struck a lady and
child in the face. The trainmen stopped the
cars and chased after the boys. They caught
Robert and Louis Thompson and took them
to the city. 1t was intended to turn the
pair over to the police but the father Of
the boys consulted with Mr.. Perry, the SUI
perintendent OF the road, and promised to
see that the youngsters behaved in future.
so they were released. Officer Baker took
Philip Lopez, boy residing at University,
into custody, but as the trainmen were I'M
able to identify him he was not sent to the
police station. 1t is probable that the crowd
will cease their mischief, as they will be
prosecuted IL any more raids are attempted
on the cars.

A FAMILY FRACAs
WELL KNOWN SANTA BARBARA
PEOPLE AT WAR
An Ex-Stepmother Causes Trouble and
the Ex-Stepson Retaliates-Re-
ciprocal Charges

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. slowing 10
the prominence of all parties concerned.
there has been big sensation caused here
by the arrest, on Monday afternoon last of
Thomas Storke, the 21-year-old son of Dis
trict Attorney c. A. Stoik at the instance
of Mrs. Yda Adds Storke, his stepmother.
The charge is petty larceny. The warrant
was issued out of Justice w. c. GammilIs
court. In Difference to the young mans So
cial position, all the Santa Barbara papers
at first suppressed the news OF his arrest.
Young Storke now states that ne mas
brought a countercharge against the lady
for perjury. This morning at 10 O'Clock, on
q warrant issued by Justice Crane on Iues-
day night, MRS. Storke was arrested on the
charge named, and allowed to go until to-
morrow on her own recognizance. Storke
declared last night that he meant to bring
another charge this evening in addition for
criminal libel, and that he likewise hopes to
secure an Indictment from the grand jury
next week against Mrs. Storke on grounds
not divulged.
The trouble arose over the allegation OF
Mrs. Storke that her stepson had taken
letter from the postoffice addressed to her
and containing remittance of 81 in money
order form sent to her by San Francisco
paper In payment for correspondence. She
alleges also that he showed this letter to
several parties, and that he retained the
money order.
The young man totally denies complain
ants allegation. He states that the letter
and also the money order wera addressed
not to Y. A. Storke, but to I. NJ. Storke; that
he diligeutIy sought for such party, know
ing that his own initials were 1T. M" and
that also he had done no work as cor
respondent for which he should receive the
said dollar. He thereupon wrote the send
er and returned the money.
BY letter from Ballard it appears that
a few excellent crops have been secured
there by irrigation, despite the fearful
drought. w. T. Mead, manager of Rancho
Alsal, has two hundred tons of hay now
curing.
James Troop, manager of the Gould
ranch, near Santa YneZ, whose skull was
kicked In by a horse, and who was expect
ed by the doctors to die, is recovering.
The Baptist church of Santa Barbara has
lust been renovated.
The city and postal authorities are work.
ing to secure the extension of the free de-
livery system in Santa Barbara.
There is to be regular college at the
Old Mission, Santa Barbara. under the di-
rection of the Franciscan fathers. Last
year their school for candidates for the
priesthood was successfully established.
1t is now, however, intended to enlarge its
sphere, and to add a regular university
course, wherein to prepare young people for
all walks of life

THE WHALER LEANDER
She Was Last Seen in a Dangerous
Position

ST. MICHAEL, Alaska, July 81, via Vic
torla. B. c., Aug. 3.-Grave fears are ne
tertained for the safety of the steam whaler
Alexander Of San Francisco. The whalers
Bayliss and Karluk, from north of Boring
straits, under date of June a. send a dis
patch that the Alexander was sighted off
FOX island. In the Aleutian group, in April.
She was then in what might become dan
gerous position. Her nose was we'll out on
the Ice. but she was not thought at the
time to be In serious danger.
The fleet proceeded north and did not
become alarmed until late in June, when
the Alexander failed to show up. All the
other whalers that were in the vicinity of
Fox island have reached Boring straits
and reported. In the fleet the opinion is
general that either the Alexander was lost
or she has sustained serious damage and
was compelled to return to San Francis
co Tor repairs. No indications of a wreck
in the vicinity of Fox island have been re-
ported at Dutch harbor or Unalaska. In
the latter part June the steamer William
Bayliss was at Plover bay, with six
whales, the steamer Karluk at Kings is
land, with five, and the steamer Jeannette
at Norton islands. with three whales.
