One of the most marked outward

habit is one Of the first things that OBJ

is due not only to the high pressure at
which so many New Workers. are kept,
but to the noise of the street traffic.

Despite the brave air with which Nu-

with Cornelius, he was really in deadly
fear for his own safety. AS he had
said, with more truth than he suspect
ed. the net was. indeed, closing about
him; watchful eyes seemed to encom-
pass him, and he felt that there was
no mar or woman whom he could real

VENETIAN ACES.

Great Advance On the Methods Of
Primitive Needle Workers.
The stamp of perfected elegance
which all Venice lace bears is the re-
suit Of its having been evolved in a
period and environment Of luxury and
constantly widening art development.
Primitive needlewomen display no art
ingenuity in getting beyond the SIM
pier twisted effects in thread work.
The product Of native Indians, Of Sy-
rians, Of South Americans, and even
of the Mexicans, is all fiat. Twisted
threads forming meshes similar to
those seen in veilings and with a 'star"
ground, are the sole resource Of these
workers, to whom even the open but
tonhole stitch as an establishment is
unknown.
Though often most complex in de-
sign, the early laces of Italy and Spain
were equally fat until the workers be-
gan to initiate with the needle the
raised and knotted effects olAthe hard
~reticella or bone laces Of Greece. Once
the method OF applying the buttonho1e
stitch became known among Them
however, the e~xperimenters among the
more enlightened workers Of those
countries, and later Of France and
England, were untiring In testing the
possibilities. Soon this stitch became
the basis Of an Venetian laces. It was
used for the making Of every portion
Of the pattern, including the plain and
ornamental brides that connected the
closely placed. but irregular, mottfsi
for the cordonets or raised borders and
edges, and even for the hlling-iD
stitches.

with the air Of q man whose thoughts
were for away. "Oh,. anything. any

things Scrowding on me at once, have
taken the nerve out Of me somehow: /
want bracing up. Yes, get some bran;

There was no hesitation about Corne-
Illus when he set out on that errand. In
q few minutes he re-entered the room
with a bottle of brandy, some glasses
and water. Nugent half-filled q tum-
bier with the neat spirit and drank 1t
of, blinked and coughed a little, and
then smiled on the other mar.

Low Lands Under Water and Deep
Lakes in the HOllOws.

NEW YORK, Feb. 26.-Floods which have
been caused Throughout Long Island by the
heavy snowfalls and rains of the past ten
much impeded. and in some cases service
on the Long Island Railroad has been tenn
porarily abandoned. In consequence of the
large quantities of sand and great depth of
water that covered the tracks at several
points west of Westbury all east-bound
and west-bound trains of the main line and
Port jefferson branch were tied up. Hun
dreds of passengers were obliged to walk
several miles to get around the badly
flooded districts in order TO secure trans
portation to the city.
Between Hicksville and MinOla there were
thousands Of acres of depressed lands under
water to-day, great lakes being formed by
the water damned up in the hollows, and
a number of houses just east or WeStbury
were in the midst OF great lake of two or
feet I'm depth, and the residents were forced
to make their way To the upiands by means
of rafts. Pigs and chickens were drowned
and all loose stuff foated away.
The Hospital for Contagious Diseases on
Kingston avenue. Brooklyn. was flooded to-
boiler and engine rooms, and ii was impos-
sible 10 make fire in either of the boilers
of the engines. Gas stoves were used to
heat the wards, in which there were many
patients. The hospital staff called on the
park department to furnish boats that
ii might be possible to reach the pavilons
of the hospital. which are separated from
the main building by yard in which
there was several feet of water. The
grounds of the hospital are about eight
lower than some Of the ground in the i'm
mediate vicinity.

SHOT BY AN ILLINOIS MOB
KENTUCKIAN KILLED FOR DISRE-
GARDING A WARNING.
Was Acquitted of the Charge of MUIR
der, but Had Been Told Not to
Return to His Old Home.

JACKSONVILLE, ILL.,, Feb 26.-Wood-
ford Hughes was shot by mob early to-
day at Nortonville, a small town in the
southern part of this county, six miles
from a railroad. Hughes, until a few
months ago, lived at Nortonville. Last Au-
gust James Sweeney, of the same town,
was shot while driving one night along a
country road. His injuries were serious, but
he finally recovered. Hughes was accused
of doing the shooting and a mob of Swee-
ney's friends surrounded his house with the
intention of lynching him, but he had fed
to another county. Three weeks later
Hughes came to this city and gave himself
up to the authorities. He was tried and
cleared OF the charge, but was warned
never TO go TO the Nortonville neighbor-
hood again. He opened a butcher shop here
and needed the warning about going TO
Nortonvllle until yesterday. when he went
down to buy some cattle. Some of his enc
mics learned of his presence in the neigh
borhood and during the night organized
a mob and surrounded the house where he
was staying, and shot him in his bed. At
least dozen shots were fired through the
window Of his room and hfS body was
riddled with bullets. Some of the shots
were so well directed that the entire top of
his head blown off. Hughes came to
this county from Kentucky four years ago.
He was thirty-seven years old and leaves a
wife and one child.

ARMY TO BE REDUCED.
Secretary Root Will Cut Chaffee's
Force TO About $4,000 Men.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Secretary Root
in conformity with assurances recently
made TO various committees of Congress,
has arranged for a gradual reduction of
the military force in the Philippines to
about 5000 men. Orders have been sent
to General Chaffee, commanding the division
of the Philippines, TO arrange TO send home
all the regiments under his command that
were sent to the Philippines in 1899. About
1900 troops are affected by these orders
The movement will be made very slowly,
a regiment at a time I'm the order in which
they arrived In the Philippines. and in each
case only when the regiment can be spared
without embarrassment and without i'm
pairing the military control of the situa-
tom All the troops sent out in 1898 already
have been recalled TO the United States
with the exception of those who re-enlisted
for service in the archipelago
When all the fresh troops in the United
States under orders to the Philippines have
arrived there IL is calculated that General
Chaffee will have an effective fighting force
of 900 men exclusive of the regiments of
1893, which are to be brought home at his
earliest convenience. 1t is not believed that
# will be possible for the first of these
troops to leave the Philippines for at least
three months.
