About women's Clubs.

Helen c. Candee, in the Century.
If any one should doubt the desire OF the
small remote town to make itself intellec-
tually worthy. let him read the programme
prepared for the winter work of a club
which occupied a prominent social position
on the prairies of the middle West. Here are
some of the topics for papers. all to be pre-
pared without the advantages of a library,
either public or private, and with no educa-
tional advantages beyond a local newspa-

Odds and Ends.

To make good tea and coffee the water
should be taken at the first bubble. Re-
member, continued boiling causes the water
TO part with its gases and become fiat.
This is the cause of much bad tea and
coffee.
The shirtwaists for fall fashionable tail
ors are turning out are plain, with a slight
ly full front. pleated back and sleeve a
triae fuller than the sleeve Of last season.
The material, the buttons, stocks and belts
must give the distinction.
A simple remedy for warts is a dram Of
s~alicylic acid with an ounce of cullodion in
a bottle which has a tiny brush run
through the cork. Apply this mixture to
the warts twice a day and in a few days
they will dry up and fall off.
OF jeweled buttons the mock opals are
easily the favorite. since they blend with
all light tints. Bead buttons, another nov
city, are small and covered with rows of
minute beads. Velvet buttons embroidered
with fieur de lis. paste and mock Jeweled
buttons are all seen.
Fobs for the watch are in fashion again
for women. and they are worn tucked
through the belt. All the old devices which
the jeweler can invent are wrought out in
these little fancies. every sort of fancy
stone, as we'll as valuable gems, being used
in the varied designs, while for riding there
is a leather fob with a fancy monogram for
ornament.
Many of the gowns by fashionable dress
makers have waists that open in the back
and are perfectly straight in front. with a
point. The skirt In many instances is put
on the belt. with the back fullness confined
in small box pleats flowing away from the
waist. Art nouveau embroidery is fire.
quently used, and chenille also in delicate
tints is applied in embroidered designs.
Roses may be propagated in several
ways, but some experience is required. An
excellent method. which has been tested
and found satisfactory. is to place a cut
ting in a bottle of water and suspend the
bottle where II can be warmed by the sun,
keeping water supplied as fast as IL evap-
crates. When roots appear the cutting
may be transferred to a small flower pot.
Some good hybrid perTietuals nave been
raised on their own roots in that manner.
Although the plan is not always successful.
yet il is easily tried and costs nothing.
y medical journal tells how a saucerful
of shaved Ice may be kept in "A sickroom
through a day and night If need be, even
with a fire in the room. Put the saucer
holding the ice in a soup plate and cover il
with another; then place the soup plate
thus arranged on a good. heavy pillow and
cover il with another pillow. pressing the
pillows SO that the plates are completely
imbedded In them. The paragraph adds
that one of the best ice-shavers is an old
jack-plane set deep. 1t should be turned
bottom upward and the ice moved back

PREMIER CASE CLAIMS
A TURN IN COURT THAT MAY PRO
LONG THE ALTON.
Judge Allen Has Been Hearing the
Matter for Several Days-Oth-
er Court Cases.

The long litigation in connection with the
receivership Of the Premier Steel Company,
that had every appearance OF a compromise
yesterday in Judge Aliens court. was given
a turn late in the afternoon that may delay
a settlement and prolong the litigation for
several days Judge Allen has been hear
ing the intervening petitions of the Brown
Ketcham iron works and the McElwaine-
Richards Company, each having claims
against the concern in the nature of me-
chanic's liens. Last December a decree was
granted by Judge Allen which settled the
receivership with the exception Of four
claims-those of the Brown-Ketcham iron
works, the Northumberland Company,
Henry Coburn and the H. F. Watson Com
pany. Henry L. Southwell, who held a
mortgage on the plant, to avoid expensive
litigation. purchased all the rest OF the
claims held against the company.
AT the time Of this partial settlement
there was about $4,000 in the hands of the
receiver and about $4,000 was paid to South
well, and also a 4 per cent. distribution to
the four remaining claimants and general
creditors. Southwell then offered to pay
the four remaining claimants 6 cents on the
dollar, making the total 10 per cent. Co
DuTn ana the H. r WdlSOn COHipdhy az
cepted the 10 per cent. distribution, but the
Brown-Ketcham iron works and the Nc
Northumberland Company refused. The
court then had $4,000 in the receivers
hands set aside pending the adjustment of
the two claims. These claims were about
settled by compromise yesterday afternoon,
when Attorney Jameson came into court,
representing the IL. +. Watson Company,
and set up a claim that his client had the
same right to a further distribution as the
two pending petitioners. He contended that
a clause i'm the agreement when the 10 per
cent. distribution was accepted speclfled
that the right of a mechanics lien was re-
served. He asked for a hearing, and Judge
Allen will hear his contention this morning.

colored physician of Brazil. Ind, whose

some time been trying to take away. The

TO revoke licenses directly without recourse

RECENT LEGAL OPINIONS.

-Lotteries-City Ordinances-Validity.-
San Francisco has a city and county ordi-
nance making it unlawful for any person
to have in his possession any lottery ticket.
The California Constitution also empowers
cities and counties TO make and enforce
within their limits such local. police and
sanitary regulations as are not in conflict
with general laws. 1t Is held that a con-
viction for violating such an ordinance is
proper. The United States government re-
fuses the use of its mails to advertising
lotteries. transmission of lottery tickets,
and the announcement of the winning num-
bers in lotteries, and such a prohibitive
ordinance is not void as being an unreason-
