IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder a shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it. Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists so that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the iron
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch, and abso-
lutely clean. Begin by ironing the
back, then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs. When wrinkles appear ap-
ply the damp cloth and remove them.
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom. If there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
first raising each one with blunt
knife, and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give it
distinctness. After the shirt waist is
ironed it should be well aired by the
fire or in the sun before it is folded
and put away, says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

Der of injured is not known definitely
but fully score of victims were 10
Gated at various hospitals.
The fire broke out in the middle o,
the forenoon. There is rumor that
an elevator constructor, with his Ian
tern was working near gaseous liquids
in the cellar, and that this caused the
fire. One hundred persons were en-
ployed in the upper stories and most of
those killed were on the sixth floor.
The two buildings destroyed were
eight stories high. There were smaller
buildings burned and the fronts of
stores opposite were damaged.

BR|GANDS ARE BULGAR|ANS.
Communication May Have Been
Effected With Them.
THE NEWS is NOT CONFIRMED,

Constantinople, Oct. 2s.-Comnaunica-
ton has been established from Mink,
province of Salonica, with the brigands,
who abducted Miss Ellen NJ Stone, the
American missionary, and her COM
panion, Mrs. Tsilka.
c. NJ. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent
or envoy of the United States, in Bull
garia, as well as consul general at Con-
stantinople, said in an interview:
The brigands who attacked Miss
Stones party were disguised in Turk
ish fese and cloaks during the attack
and thus revealed their uniform, that
of the Macedonian committee. They
were recognized, too, as Bulgarians.
Moreover, they spoke poor Turkish,
but good Bulgarian and ate ham and
bacon.
Sofa, Bulgaria.-It is semi-officialIy
asserted that no indication has yet been
found of Miss Stones kidnappers hav-
ing been in Bulgaria. The Bulgarian
government is determined to annihilate
S1AO Ooho IL CIOSS lllc ,
and will deal with the utmost severity
with any Bulgarians whose completely
in the kidnapping shall be proved
Great resentment is felt here at the
exploitation to the discredit of Bulgaria
of crime committed in another state.
Washington.-No facts could be
CLEANED at the state department to
encourage hope in the case of Miss
Stone. The department does not know
as yet that communication has been
re-established between her brigand
captors and the missionary agents who
are trying to arrange for her ransom.
For the first time in four days, the de.
partment heard from it's agents in
Bulgaria, but the report simply went
to confirm some of the facts already
published respecting the Macedonian
committees supposed to have connec
ton with the affair.

NEW STATE INSTITUTIONS.
Building to Commence Soon on the Fort
Hays Reservation.

Topeka, Oct. 26.-The title of the
state of Kansas to the Fort Hays mill
tary reservation has been approved by
the secretary of the interior, and the
squatters on the land have been ordered
to move off. Just a short time previous
to the ceding of the land to the state
by the government, a number of men
filed homesteads on the reservation and
set up the claim that they had a prior
right to the land over the state. The
reservation was coded to the state with
the provision that it be made into a
public park and that a branch normal
college and an agricultural experiment
station be established there. These
provisions the state could not carry out
until the title to the land was perfected
and the matter was taken before the
secretary of the interior. 1t is under
stood arrangements will at once be
made to erect the necessary buildings
for the normal school and the expert
ment station, and that these institu-
tions will be opened next fall. They
will be under the supervision of the
board of regents of the state agricul-
tural college and the State Normal
school
