FOR WOMEN WHO RMBRo1DER.

Empire work is the latest form of
fancy work with which the rocking
chair feet occupies itself during the
long mornings at the beach or noun
tains. 1t consists really of applique
work in novel designs upon a new ma
terial called empire silk, which comes
In almost invisible stripes of self color
green, rose, cream, blue, yellow,
gold and deep crimson. The work is
done with lace applique and silk en-
broidery, surrounding medallion shaped
painted photographs on silk which are
appliqued to the design. Honiton
braid, spangles and embroidery floss
are the materials used in working out
the design. Only an elementary
knowledge of embroidery is needed to
accomplish the work, for it consists
chiefly of sewing the lace braids down.
Cushions are bought traced for work
ing. A soft, messy green cushion silk
had traced on it a group of daisies,
beneath which are crossed palms.
Fringed drapery, caught up with cord
and tassels, completed the design. The
daisies We're made of Honiton braid,
each petal being cut out separately and
sewed to the pattern. The palms
were nldoS WILL punt ldC0 DIdiu, Willie
the drapery was indicated by white
silk outlines, dotted with French knots
and lace flower heads The fringe
was made of single stitches of equal
depth in cream silk, each stitch ending
in a small French knot, and the cord
and tassels were worked out in similar
fashion. In the lower part of the de-
sign were bees, their wings being
worked with Honiton braid and their
heads, bodies and legs in cream and
white thread. In the painted medal
lion patterns a pretty design was one
having two medallions, surrounded
with wreaths in spangles and lace. the
interstices being powdered with flower
heads, except where the two medal
lions We're connected with draperies.
A design in 1ilacs on cream silk had the
flower done in Honiton braid. finished
With French knots in the center and
the leaves embroidered with white
silk. Gold and silver thread formed
the outlinessof a graceful Tyre on an
other pattern, the whole being sur
rounded by a floral design in lace,
spangles and silk. 1t must be borne
IN mind that the coloring as a rule is
supplied by the background and the
design is worked out in cream or
white, relieved by the spangles or a
little gold or silver thread. The work
is SO simple yet effective, that it is
likely to be exceedingly popular. New

Efforts to relieve Aqua Dulce.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. ~ Advices
received by the Colombian legation
here say that the Colombian govern
ment is still making efforts to send re-
lief to the town Of Aqua Dulce, now
besieged by the reyolutionists. The
new Colombian war vessel recently
purchased by Colombia left Seattle
Wednesday, but owing to her limited
coal capacity probably will coal at
Acapulco, and fortnight may elapse
before she can succor the besieged
town. Meanwhile Colombia may dis
patch several thousand of the troops
now concentrating on the isthmus to
the port of Chiriqui, on the east coast,
by boat, and from there it is but a
march of forty miles across to Aqua
Dulce, the entire journey requiring less
than two days. rs ~ is.sa5. 80 so ST..

COAL STRIKE ENDED
West Virginia Miners Vote to
Resume Work.
MITCHELL SAID TO HAVE ADVISED.
Operators Have Agreed to Take Back
All the Old workmen, and OPP
eratIons VIII, BE Begun
on Monday Next.

HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Sept. 81
It is now believed that the coal strike
In West Virginia is practically at an
end, At mass meeting of miners
from all the coalfields along the Nor
folk and Western railroad here it was
almost unanimously agreed to end the
strike provided the operators w@l take
back the old miners, andothe operators
have signifed their intention of doing
this The miners have agreed to re-
turn to work next Monday morning.
1t is reported here that President
Mitchell advised the strikers to return
to work, as he realized that winter is
near at hand and the miners in this
field could not hold out much longer,
as almost every one is dependent upon
the union for food and clothing. 1t is
thought the strikers in the New River
and Kanawha fields will soon follow
the action of the strikers on the Nor
folk and Western The Poca hontas
mine continues to burn, but the oper-
ators think they viii soon have it un-
der control. No violence has been re-
ported from any quarter of the Norfolk
and WesterH coaldeld.
General Manager johnson of the
Norfolk and Western was asked what
the basis of settlement of the strike
was, and he replied that there was
no agreement at all, the mine workers
simply declaring the strike off and or
dering the men to return to work next
Monday. He said there had been no
conference with the mine operators or
others interested in the strike.

strike casea IGNORES.

WILKESBARRE, Pa, Sept. 5.-The
grand jury has ignored the cases
against r. w. Kinney, Charles Reyn-
olds and William Watkins The three
men were employed as special officers
at the WaInke colliery, Duryea, and
during a riot which occurred there
two weeks ago they were arrested and
committed to Jail in default Of bail on
the charge of manslaughter and incit-
ing to riot. Subsequently they were
released on bail after habeas corpus
hearing. The action of the grand jury
establishes precedent in that men
employed to protect life and property
about the coal mines and who may in
the discharge of their duty shoot and
kill cannot be held for the crime of
murder or manslaughter.

speech delivered here yesterday was
designed to conciliate the Poles so far
as this could be dene by phraseology
that did not imply weakness and to re-
affirm the continuance of the present

have received the emperor's speech in
