A SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

James l.. Kennedy, Aged ii Years, Killed
While at Work at Delaware Cotton Co.'s
Mills.
While at work in the finishing de-
partmenJ of the mill Of the Delaware
Cotton Co., formerly tho Arlington
Mills on Vandever avenue, near Market
street, at Z. 40 O'Clock Friday morning,
James Lea Kennedy, aged IA years, son
of Mr.. ard Mrs. James Kennedy of No.
M3ble street, was caught in machinery
ard almost instantly killed.
Soon after the ACCIDENT Coroner Fiick
began an examination. 1t was learned
that the boy was standing near a cal
endar olling shaft, when his foot
slipped and he fell, his head going
between q large pully and the bolt. A
number of people were nearby and saw
the accident and the machinery was
stopped at once. Several men went to
the assistance of the boy and drew him
from the machine. Death was probably
instantaneous, but the Phoenix ambu-
lance was summoned and started for the
Delaware Hospital, out before the hos
pital was reached 1t was evident to the
ambulance corps that life was extinct,
and by direcl ton of the coroner the
body of the boy was moved to the resi-
dence of his parents.
Immediately after the accident the
machinery in the finishing department
of the mill was shut down, but later
operations were resumed Some of tho
operatives were so badly affected by the
accident that they we're made sick.
James Kennedy, father of the UNI
fortunate boy, is employed by the Dia-
mond Ice Go. There are six other chill
dren besides the one who was killed.
Mr.. Kennedy did not want his son to
work in the mill, bur the lad did not
want to go to school and insisted upon
working and the father reluctantly con
sented,

There is a fascination about big
profits to business man. but the
conservative and cautious trader prefers
to have the lesser Fer cent Of interest
and the larger per cent of safety in his
investments. There is no business man
who would not consider it sound
proposition to invest in an enterprise
in which absolute loss was impossible
and which offered ninty eight chances
in hundred of rich profit. The
statistics OF cures effected by DR..
pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
show that Einty eight per cent of cases
of weak lungs' can be absolutely
cured. Almost il not all forms of
physical weakness may be traced to
starvation. Starvation saps the strength.
The body is Just as much starved when
the stomach cannot extract nutrition
from the fond it receives as when there
is no fond. Weak lungs" bronchial

The PrOper Gloves.

Glace kid, buttoned gloves are the correct
ones for church, with two four buttons
and of white or a light tan. If tan.
heavier kid is used, and one or two buttons
are sufficient - in fact, regular heavy
walking glove is the smartest Many wo-
men always cling to a suede glove Of the
mousequetaire style with two buttons only.
These are Of lighter shade Of color than
the gown or of black. OF course, this does
not refer to q red or a green or blue
gown-simply to the brown or gray A
white suede glove Is absolutely inappro-
pirate, however.
So much depends upon the lining of the
muff as to what gloves can be worn from
a practical point of view that it Is as well
to buy one with reference to the other.
The present fashion of the white lining or
the fur lining for the very rich fur NUNS
makes 1t possible to wear white or light
gloves, whereas the dark Innings so soon
soil the gloves that it is generally silly to
follow slavishly the fashion of wearing
white goves, especially IL economy has to
be consulted.
AS the church costume is emphatically a
walking costume, heavy walking boots or
boots Of kid and patent leather are correct.
The fancy dress boot or shoe is not then
sensible or in good taste.

otherwise excellent, garments attest to
a mistaken impression of the manu-

1t is perfectly true that good many women
do wear fiat or dart fitted fronts. but the
great majority have not the smallest fnten-
ton of resigning that fel!citous pouch or
blouse yet awhile. On another mooted point
the spring woman, so to speak, Is about to
declare herself; she is going to wear silver
in preference to gold, except when she needs
a bullion rose for her hat or belt for her
muslin gowns. Again 1t is plain to see that
blue will lead all the colors, and by this is
meant blue ranging from the deepest

be produced in pastel colorings There is a

ExtravagantIy Pretty NegIigees for
Morning Wear.

No woman who has been a guest at any
one Of the great country houses clarifying
the face of our noble land will fail to ap-
preciate the charms and usefulness of the
coffee jacket. 1t has no relation to the his
toric and debatable tea gown. because it
is worn at wholly different function from
that at which the tea robe properly makes
its appearance.
In the morning at country houses 1t Is
the commendable custom to send to the
rooms of the guests silver trays set with
small, individual silver coffee equipages. A
slice two of toast, dry biscuit and
orange accompanies, as a rule, each tray,
and as the maid brings in the little spread
the guest arrays herself in a very fetching
and fanciful silk petticoat, pair of quilt
ed satin lounging shoes and a coffee jacket
of gay material and gracious pattern 1t is
the sociabe custom, moreover, in country
houses for the smartly jacketed coffee
drinkers to getEer, with their trays and
gossip, in some coy boudoir, and because
of this custom the jackets of the coffee
lovers have grown in style and splendor.
These. garments are ordinarily we'll open
in the throat, but longSleeved and easy of
fit. Upon these general lines the taste of
the individual jacket wearer plays infinite
variations. Three instructive examples are
given. The first is a pretty belted jacket
of pale yellow satin surfaced foulard,
adorned with a shoulder band and cincture
of golden brown panne ribbon, which in
turn Is held in place by big buttons of
paste topaz. Mechlin lace and yellow chif-
fon are the other materials used. A worthy
companion to this is the flowing jacket Of
pastel pink liberty satin, garnished with
yoke and sleeves and broad reyers Of imi-
tation tea tinted Irish lace. A broad satin
ribbon of a tint that exactly matches the
lace passes under the revers and knots in
front.
OF very plant silk warp French flannel,
llchen grey in color the third garment is
constructed. Inside lining Of baby blue
Forentine silk is used, and undersleeves
and jabot of coarse grey Malta lace form
its simple and effective decoration. For
next summer the originators of delicate
corrections are making soft cream bastiste
coffee Jackets frilled deliberately with VAL
encennes edging; and cooler still will be
the negligees of gace china silk, button
holed in scallops along the edges and COM
pleted with undersleeves Of tucked white
81 muslin
