Flowerpots and Birdcages.

A low, broad window ledge filled
with plants attracted my attention be-
cause of the coverings for the pots,
which were of fine, plated cane or
wicker, stained brown. They opened
and shut, and so inclosed pot, either
large or small. These are most unob-
husive and welcome relief from the
inevitable iardiniere, which often ruins
the good effect of the plants. Jardi-
nieres are of two classes, very good or
very bad. Some of the very good are
the brass, plain or the Benares, which
are always made in good shapes
Cheaper jardinieres of the good class
are made in heavy pottery, six sided
and left in the natural color, with a
gay green border edge and bunch of
flowers or fruit one doesn't know
which, in each hexagon, done in nice
blues and tones of brownish yellow.
Speaking of the wicker jardinieres re-
minds me of some birdcages which
may be bought called thrush cages.
These are big wicker cages, stained
brown or black the kind one sees in
old illustrations of the Vicar of Wake
field, swinging in the easement win

Not Knutson's Body.

Bemidji, Mimi. Dec. 4.-The body
which was found in front of the Chris
tianson saloon at Blaekduck, and iden
titled as that of Chris Knutson, was, at
the preliminary hearing before Justice
Martin yesterday afternoon, found to be
the body of some one whose identity is
unknown. At first the cause of death
was a mystery, but matters in connec-
ton with the case have been discovered
that promise to make it of more than
ordinary interest.
Paul LeMay has been arrested for the
murder of the unknown man, and was
before the justice yesterday afternoon.
At the inquest he denied any knowl-
edge of the affair. but since then man
by the name of Waldren has made the
statement that LeMas confessed TO him
that he and another We're with the
murdered man on the night of the
crime and that he accused them of
stealing his money on the night pre-
yious and that they both struck him in
the jaw. and seeing him fall, left him
to be picked up.
IeMay was in the employ of Waldren
and the latter took his oath to the truth
Of his statement, and was corroborated
by the testimony of Mrs. Waldren.
aside from these witnesses, no one was
sworn except the doctor who saw the
body in the saloon where 1t had been
placed. The remains will be exhumed
and a thorough investigation made.

Toilet Hints.

A perfumed slip to lay upon the pill
low at night is made of an oblong of
folded cotton wadding with powdered
orris root scattered over it in linen
slip This imparts faint, clinging per-
fume to the hair.
White wine vinegar and two drains
each of rosemary, rue, camphor and
lavender make an excellent skin tonic
if a little is added to the daily bath
water.
There is no better all round skin ap-
plication than cold cream. 1t smooths
and softens the texture and removes
irritation from almost any cause.
Lemons are general favorite among
toilet accessories. a little juice will
keep the nails in good condition and get
rid of almost any kind of stain.
An excellent aid in keeping the skin
thoroughly clean is soft face brush.
The bristles should not be stiff, and
this useful toilet article should be
welded with great discretion.
A thin paste of salad oil and salt will
remove hot water marks from polished
tables and trays.

Members of Commission Insist That
Attorneys Expedite Matters Before
the Commission.

Scranton, Pa Dec. 4.-There were no
developments this morning looking
towards settlement outside of the
commission of the existing differences
between the mine workers and their
employers. Rumors of peace are still
current But the attorneys ON either
side profess not to have any informa-
ton on the subject. 1t is hoped by
the strike commission that the attor-
neys will find method of expediting
the hearings. Up to this time the pro-
ceedings have been somewhat slow and
the commission threatens to adopt rules
that will hasten matters, if the attor-
neys on both sides do not agree on some
quick method of presenting statistics
and other data relating to wages. These
lawyers have held several conferences,
and 1t is likely they will soon come to
some understanding.

plow, there is attached a firmly built
carriage with transferable rest for

by the financiers here who wish to

Venezuela claims. An important COM

is believed in some circles, however
that the plan for a peaceable ADJUST

The Venezuelan delegates maintain
that their status has been seriously af-

measures announced today, but they
declare that it would be obviously bad
policy, in spite of the critical position
of their country, to make any sugges-
ton to Europe until the attitude of the
United St..tes, both as joint creditor
and a largely interested political power,
had been ascertained.
Venezuela, it is reported, offers the
payment on a unified loan of over $3,-

the customs, with the establishment of
a European bank at Caracas to super

surgents in Trinidad says that new
plan of campaign has been adopted and
that the center of the republic will In
future be the scene of the operations
which, they claim, are certain to result

idea when they We're attacked by Presi-
dent Castro at La Victoria, where they
were defeated, tho it is asserted that
their retirement was due to a change OF
plans. General Ferrera holds Ciudad
Bolivar independently, having received
no support from General Matos. Vene-

jured by the long period of unrest, in
favor of the intervention of the United
