REVIVAL OF HoNITON
LACE MAKING IN LEVoN
In England There Are Number of New
Centers of This Industry.

Devon no longer enjoys alone the
honor Of making Honiton point and
Hon1ton applique. East Anglia has
something to say in the matter, and
Norfolk can boast flourishing associ-
alton for the production of the lovely
fabric, as cottage industry, at the
little town of Diss. About seven years
ago, when a hard winter threw num-
bers of men out of work, the need for
real home industry suggested itself
TO an enterpriSing and philanthropic
lady, who saw that a boon would be
conferred on the poor people Of the
town If an association could be formed
and handicraft taught at which the
women could work in their own homes
The revival Of interest in English
made lace, and the exhibits at the wo-
mems exhibition at EarPs court in 1900,
gave the cue. Lace is always in de-
mand, and requires no expensive
plant or machinery; the pillow and
bobbins are the only initial outlay The
spring of 1900 saw Diss in consultation
With the villages round for radius Of
five miles. 1t was a womans move
ment, and over 100 ladies met together
to consider what could be DONE The
outcome of the conference was the en-
gagingS of an expert lady teacher to
instruct those who were willing to
learn the Honiton point and applique,
having
decided on as the associations spe-
cialty.
Diss is now fully established as a
center for handmade Honiton lace. The
industry has penetrated into eighteen
parishes in the neighborhood and the
association can boast nearly one hun
dred trained workers. From the first
1t has been entirely self-supporting.
No subscriptions have been asked for,
or even accepted when offered. Each
member has paid for her own lessons
and bought her own pillow and ma
terlal. Ladies learning merely for
pleasure are charged much higher in
struction fee, and these are, of course.
a steady source of income, and have
helped toward the creation of a fund
out OF Which ready money can be paid
TO each poor worker when she brings
home her 'sprig" to be mounted or her
section" to be Joined. Mounting and
joining require a specially skilled
worker. So far the Diss association
has worked to order only, as funds do
not yet permit of money being locked
up in stock; but with the present craze
for dainty lace the orders have been
quite as numerous as could have been
hoped in so short time. The whole
profits go either direct to pay the
workers or to increase the common
fund. There is no middleman; the or
ders come into the hands Of the COM
m1ttee and are given out to the work.
ers according to skill, capability, or
need of job, and bad or soiIed work is
rarely sent in. Another branch of the
Industry is the repairing of damaged
lace, and this ought to prove lucrative,
as skilled repa1rerS are far to SEEK

. MINNEAPOLIS

for the last six years has held the posi-
ton of auditor for the postoffice to the
treasury department, spent yesterday In
Minneapolis in consultation with POST
master Hale and Loren Fletcher.
RumorS have been afloat of late to the
effect that Mr.. Castle intends to resign
his position in the near future, but he
says he has no such intentions.
Mr.. Castles health has been poor for
the last few years, and he has been com.
PEELED to give up all active work at diff
ferent times.
He will remain at his summer home In
North ST. Paul for some time before go
ing back to Washington.
The nature of his visit to Minneapolis
yesterday was to confer on matters in
reference to the local postoffice, which
has recently undergone several changes.
1t is understood that Maj. Hale will be
appointed postmaster at the eXpiratisS OF
his present term. This is, at least, the
wish of his friends, and Congressman
Fletcher is said to favor him.
Mr.. Castles visit is supposed to have
reference to this question, though he is
not personally interested in the matter.

Among the reports from officers in
charge of river and harbor improve
ments, with estimates for the fiscal
year 1904, received by the chief of en-
gineers, is the following:
Capt. D. D. Gaillard submits the fol-
lowing for the Duluth, Mimi, district:
Duluth, Mimi, and Superior, Wis,
Dor, $4,000; Marquette, Mich, harbor,
$4,000; harbor of Refuge, Grand
Marais, Mich, $S3,401.
The Missouri river commission
which ceased to exist June 80, 1902,
submits it's last annual report. The
commission has been in existence since
1854. The report states that the policy
Of the commission, which has remain
ed unchanged, was for continuous,
progressive control of the river, con-
tracing it where necessary, giving the
channel proper direction and securely
holding it in place; but that unfor-
tunately the commission has not been
permitted to carry that plan out. The
report then enters into an elaborate
defense Of the commission, based upon
criticisms in the press and in the re-
port of the house committee on rivers
and harbors.
1t is asserted that congress specif-
cally directed the expenditure of funds
for local work unconnected with the
general improvement Of the river to
the amount of $2,218,000. The COM
mission has been at expense, the report
states, to maintain improvements.
Since the organization Of the commits
sion $7,150,000 has been appropriat-
ed for work under it, of which $780,
600 has been expended on the river
above Sioux City, Iowa; $2,164,364 on
detached localities; $380,082 on snag-
ging operations; $469,5S5 for surveys
and gauges; sS55,765 for plant, office
work and expenses of the commission,
leaving but So, 280, POI for effective, pro-
gressive and systematic improvements
of the river extending over period Of
eighteen years, part of this amount be-
ing expended near Kansas City, and
the remainder in the first reach.
The report says that this expendi-
ture has produced good results, al
though there is now danger attending
the navigation of the river as attest
ed by the wrecks of 800 steamboats, ly-
ed that no sufficient improvement of
the river has been made to demonstrate
what could be done for the benefit of
commerce. The following estimates
are made: Missouri river, $1,000,000 /;
Usage river, $4,000.
The amount for the Missouri river
to be expended without diversion for
any other purpose until the first reach
from near Jefferson City to the mouth
of the river shall be completed, which
1t is believed can be accomplished for
from 100000 to $3,500.000.

PROOF THAT 1T WAS
NOT A FAKE FIGHT
Physicians Conclusions From the Ap-
pearance of Jeffries' Bruised
Features.

SAN FRANCISCO. CAL, July 26.-Dr.
William Frederick, who attended Cham
pion Jeffries' injuries last night and this
morning and repaired his broken nose,
made the following statement regarding
his injuries.
The condition of Jeffries' face would
make it evident to anyone TINT Jeffries
was not engaged in a fake fight 1t
showed the punishment which he received
was enough to have put out fighter
who did not possess the extraordinary
staying powers of the champion The con-
and the left supraorbital margins, as well
as the detected condition of the splum
OF the nose, prove what fury the blows
must have possessed. Such blows rained
on one of less staying powers the fight
would have been over sooner. The other
visible efforts of Fftzsimmons show and
prove that an honest attempt was made
to turn the victory toward the loser"

RESPONSIBILITY FOR
A MINING HORROR
1t Seems to Rest Upon Miners Who
Used Open Lamps.

~ SCSHiS ~ nest OpO1 IHIHSTS VHO
Used Open Lamps.
JOHNSTOWN, Pa, July 26.-The
story has practically been told. All
that men now living know about the
catastrophe of the Cambria mill mine
on July 10 has been related to a jury
which has before it the duty of formu-
lating a verdict, placing as nearly as
they may, the responsibility for the
disaster.
By far the most important testimony
was heard this morning. 1t was that
of the mine inspectors, who, after a
careful survey of the scene, had unani-
mously agreed upon a theory of the
disaster. This theory excludes the idea
of gas having been fired by a blast. It
rests upon the fact that the explosion
was caused by men using open lamps
in place where only safeties were per-
mitted. The safety lamps which should
have been used were found carefully
laid away and the naked lamps were
found where they had been blown, by
the mine inspectors, who did not reveal
their discovery until on the witness
stand.
The responsibility, it would therefore
seem, must rest upon the men who
worked where the explosion occurred.
These men were Michael Levoc, Gus
tav Lewandrowski, William Schonsek
and Gottfried Hapke.

SHAPE OF MR.. TITUS
How Railroad Steward Glanced to Get
a Good Appointment.

CHICAGO, July 26.-It was made
known in railway circles here tonight
that II. j. titus, formerly a steward on
one of the Atoms dining cars, has been
appointed superintendent of commissary
of the Mobile &c Ohio railway, and will as
sumo his new duties Aug. Is.
Back of the announcement Is an inter-
esting little story. Mr.. Titus had recent
ly, on his Alton dining car, a passenger
who was so impressed with the courteous
attention of the steward that upon the
arrival of the train in Chicago the pas
bile & Ohio railway, repaired to the gen
eral offices of the Chicago e Alton rail-
way, and asked as to Mr.. Titus ability.
and promptly appointed the latter super
intendent Of commissary of the Mobile
g. Ohio.
Mr.. Titus will have his headquarters
In jackson, Tenn. He will be the young
est railway superintendent of dining cars
in the United States, his age being but

1t is doubtful whether Mayor Ames
will ever return to Minneapolis. His
friends and persons in charge of his
affairs here are of the opinion that
for some time, at least, he will remain
at West Baden.
That the doctor is preparing to shake
-tae dust Of Minneapolis from his feet
forever there is considerable evidence
His agents in this city, acting pre-
sumably under his authority, are dis
posing of his personal property as rap
idly as possible. Already most of these
effects have been sold.
Only few days ago the mayors ia
vorite black team, the span behind
which he and his family rode on state
occasions, was sold to Brando Sodini.
1t is not known what the consideration
was, but the team was a valuable and
handsome one and probably Melted the
mayor good sum.
Most of the doctors carriages have
also been sold, and those which remain
are understood to be on the market.
Speaking of the matter, ]. @. Sodini
said yesterday:
L am convinced that DR.. Ames will
not return to Minneapolis for many
months, and | have every reason to
believe that he is preparing to make
his permanent home in West Baden.
Perhaps, after the present public feel
Ing has subsidized, he may conclude to
return, but as matters are at present
West Baden is much the pleasanter
place. To return to Minneapolis now
would only be to give his enemies a
chance to abuse and humiIiate him,
and DR.. Ames is too proud a man to
court that sort of thing, especially
when he knows he has no way Of de-
Tending himself"
1t is probable, however, that the
mayor will have to make at least one
trip to Minneapolis. That will be
when his case is moved for trial in
the district court next fall. If Fred
Ames is tried next fall it is probable
that the doctor will be summoned as a
witness.

VAeRANT PRODUCES A ROLL.
Daniel Steinbecker Turned Out to Be q
Confidence Man.

Confidence Man.
Daniel Steinbecker, man Of unusually
good appearance, was arrested Friday,
charged with Vagrancy. He was tried in
the municipal court yesterday, and for
time 1t seemed as though he would
make pretty strong case against the
charge of va grancy.
He was well dressed, clean shaven, and
had every appearance of having money
The only thing which Officer Rhodes had
against him was that he had been around
here for some time and had no visible
means of support.
Steinbecker, however, had two wit
nesses who testified that he had been in
their employ at different times. Every
thing seemed to be coming the defend
ants way until a sturdy young man arose
in the rear of the room and spoke to one
of the officers, and Immediately the
stranger was placed on the stand.
He testified that on last Tuesday
Steinbecker had engaged him in CONVEX
sation at that time, and said that he was
in hard luck, but that he had a watch
that he would like to get some money on.
The timepiece, he said, was worth $780,
and he wanted the witness to buy it.
The witness was positive of the identi-
fication, and the judge decided that Stein
becker was dangerous man and fined
him $25. Steinbecker could speak Eng
fish, Scandinavian and German fluently.
