A New and workable Notion

A novel and very practical idea in
fancy work is to cut out cretonne pat
tern and put it on another material
as applique decoration. A good thing
about this is that any one with taste
and clever fingers can do it successful
ly, and If good cretonne is chosen the
effect is very pretty. The sketch in
black and white gives only the faintest
Idea of the work. for the coloring is
the chief beauty.

the length of the ribs on both sides a
crown roast may be prepared which is
very effective in appearance.
Stand the two pieces with the bone
side outward and draw them round to-
gether to a circle, tying or skewering
them. Cover the ends of the bones
with CREASED paper or a flour and wa
ter paste SO that they will not char,
then roast in a quick oven. In serv-

resign, the correspondent now learns from
close personal friend Of Mr.. White that
he will resign next year upon reaching
his 10th year.
Mr.. Whites decision to resign was taken
before the news of his sons suicide yes
terday reached him, but it is believed that
the sons death renders Mr.. Whites decis-
ion irrevocable. Mr.. White is staying at
Sassnitz, island of Ruegen, in the Bal
tic. Horace White Of Syracuse cabled to
Secretary Jackson early this morning the
news Of the death Of Frederick D. White,
but did not say he had committed suicide.
The correspondent after receiving de-
tails Of f. D. Whites death, wired to
Ambassador White at 9 o'clock this morn
ing and has just received reply from
Mrs. White, saying:
Your telegram, fortunately has not
reached Mr.. White. We have no details
as yet"
The correspondent understands that Mr..
White is greatly shocked and nervously
depressed at the death of his son. Mrs
White, therefore, fearing the result upon
her husband, has thus far withheld the
news of their sons suicide, intending to
gently break it to Mr.. White.

Called Him Off.

duct the re-scale. The government felt
it could not afford to continue him in the
work while charges were pending. At
the same time, until there can be an in
vestigation, the government does not feel
warranted in dismissing Farr from its
service. So he has been sent back to his
work in Wisconsin and probably after the
White Earth matter has died out the
charges will be taken up and investigated.
j 1t is limited quite strongly here that
certain lumbermen who had d ead-and-
down contracts on the White Earth last
winter know more about these charges
than anybody else. Farr was not con-
ducting his work in a manner to please
them, and since they could not use him,
they determined to destroy him. This
may be too harsh way Of stating the
case, but I give it as an interesting
phase Of the gossip down here.
Commissioner Jones declines to discuss
the matter in any way, beyond admitting
that Hunters letter containing charges
against Farr has been received at his
office. Instructions have been given en-
pIoyes OF the Indian bureau not to talk 10
newspaper men, so it is practically inn
possible to get any authoritative informa-
'tion.
I have reasons for believing, however,
that the foregoing is a reliable state
ment of the case as it stands to-day.
There is no question at the Indian Office
regarding the substantial correctness Of
Farr's rescale. He seems to have done
his work we'll. The department also in
dorses Captain Mercer. 1t has the ut
most confidence in both Farr and Mercer,
and has no difficulty in harmonizing the
apparently conflicting reports made by
them regarding White Earth pine. Had
charges not been made against Farr he
would have been selected to conduct the
re-scale.
