DETAIL OF JAPANESE EMBROIDERY

grow stately hollyhoc';s, pink and
white, and yellow, and crimson. The
silver look of the shingles is carried
out with light gray silesia cut in the
shape of the shingles themselves, and
each one is finished with irregularly
buttonhole stitchings and marked like
the streaks seen in old wood These
slabs are then literally shinged on, like
those on the side of house. and
against this background the holly
hooks are realistically carried out in
embroidery and applied work.
Another successful conception by
the same artist-for one must be an
artist to obtain such results-is a
group of white sailboats in a summer
blue sea in the distance, with reedv
oresroEnd and group of pink marsh
ma;lows as the salient feature. The
possibilities for such conceptions are
boundless; all that is required is the
cIevernesa to produce them.-N. Y.

A DOCTORS DIRECTIONS.
They save a daughter
from blindness.

When a father writes that yours "is the
best medicine in the world" you can
allow something for seeming extrava-
gance in the statement if you know that
the medicine so praised, cured a loved
daughter of disease and restored to her
the eyesight nearly lost. The best med
icine in the world for you is the medicine
that cures you. There can't be anything
better. No medicine can do more than
cure. That is why John S. Goode of
orrick, Mo-, writes in these strong terms :
"Dr. Ayers sarsaparil1a is the best med
icine in the world. My daughter had 2

THE STARVING CUBANS.
The Government Takes Cogni-'
zance of Prevailing Distress.
Americans Called Upon to Contribute
Money. Clothing and Supplies OF Vari-
Gus Kinds, Which VIII be Dis
tributed by Consul q eneral Lee.

WASHINGTON, Dec. %. most
profound distress prevails alnoDg many
thousands of people in Cuba. Starva-.
tion not only impends, but is an actual
fact. The president has been informed
OF the facts from sources whose credi-
bility cannot be doubted. He has gone
to the length OF his constitutional
power in calling the state OF affairs to
the attention of the American people.
The state department hns used all Of
its authority to mitigate the condi-
tions there, and the letter TO the pub
lie, sent out by Secretary sherman
the day before Christmas, pointed out
the way TO further alleviate the iniser-
able condition Of the reconcentrados.
Yesterday the sum OF S., 600 was re-
ceiyed by Assistant Secretary Day
from certain charitably disposed per-
sons, whose names are not disclosed,
and this sum will be remitted by tele-
graph early this morning to Consul
General Lee for disbursement among
the more pressing cases
1t is hoped by the department of
state that the American people will
come to the relief, and that promptly,
by subscriptions of money, clothing
and supplies Of various kinds. The
newspapers are expected to lend a
generous aid in carrying forward this
movement. The machinery for distri-
button has been provided by the state
department, and Consul General Lee
has undertaken, with the aid of the
American consular officers in Cuba, to
give personal attention to the alleva-
tion of distress by the distribution of
the gifts of the American people.
One line of steamers plying between
New York and Ilavana-the Ward
line--it is said, has undertaken TO for
ward any contributions of goods to
Gen. Lee ut Havana, and it is believed

port. The Spanish authorities have
consented TO remit all duties on relief
supplies so forwarded The state de-
partment directs that they be sent di-
rect to Consul-General Lee, either
money by draft or check or goods.
Consul-General Lee last night cabled
the stale department just what is
wanting at this iuncLure, and his list
is as follows:
Summer clothing, secondhand or
otherwise principally for women and
children; medicines for fevers, includ-
ing n large proportion of quinine, hard
bread, corn meal, bacon, rice, lard, po-
tatoes, beans, peas, salt fish--princi-

measure provides that all persons con-
vicedof petit larceny shall, instead of
being punished as now provided by
law, be punished with with not less
than 10 nor more than 80 stripes, but
in cases of convictions of females or
male infants under the age of l5 years,
it shall be optional with the said fe-
male and the parent or guardian OF
said infant whether they shall be
punished with stripes or according to
the statutes in force at this time; and
If there be no parent or guardian COM
petent, in the opinion of the trial JUS
tice or court, TO choose for said infant,
and in every case where any person
convicted is ordered to be SO punished
with stripes, the court may, in its dis
erection, order SO many of the stripes to
be given at the time, and require the
convict, on his own recognizance, to
appear before the court at some future
day to receive the remaining stripes;
provided, this act shall not apply to

Naval Academy Buildings Unsafe for The
Occupancy of the Students.


Occupancy of the Students.
WAsnINGroN, Dec. 2S.--The danger
GUS state OF the buildings at the naval
academy led Secretary Long to request
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt to make
an inquiry into their condition and IA
report upon the repairs needed. Mr.
Roosevelts report, which has just becI
made, shows that the studies build
ings have fallen into such ruin tha
the cadets have been assigned to attics
and garrets as the only available
spaces, while the storehouse is in such
condition that the storekeeper refuses
to be responsible for the safety of the
goods IN his care.
Mr. Roosevelt found that there was
need for much new construction, but
the least that can be done is to rebuild
Immediately the armory, boat house,
power house and basin for boats. This
work is deemed to be Immediately re.
quired in order that the boys shall not
suffer in the technical part of their
education.
1t is the design to make the build
ings part of Il general scheme for the
reconstruction of the academic build
ings; but, while this is the case and
they will not be bits of patchwork,
still they may be regarded as complete
In themselves without reference to
what may be done hereafter in the
way of building. The work will cost
between $780, 900 and 81, 900, 600.

with Il young man named Marcus

Irritation, with the result that
Nassauer became violently infatu-

Clayton, where he put up at the Hotel
Autenrieth, that he might be near the
object of his affections.
Yesterday he visited her at her
fathers house, and it seems asked her
to accompany him for a walk,
which she refused to do, when
he drew n pistol and shot
her twice, inflicting painful, though
not dangerous, wounds, after which
he put the weapon to his own head
and blew out his brains.
