regular boarder at a hotel In a frontier
town. He and a number of his friends were
wont to resort every evening to the smok-
ing room of the hotel, which they used as
sort of club and their wants were attend
ed to by fair waitress who may be called
Miss White. She was a nice quiet girl,
without any nonsense about her, and at
tended to the wants Of her patrons with
regularity and promptitude. One evening
after she had retired for the night, the
landlord informed the company that this
was the last time she would walt upon
them, as she was going to be married next
day. When the landlord had gone out
Jimmie Hughes, the young man referred to,
got up and said he thought il only right
that they should show their appreciation
OF her services by making her a little pres
ent on this suspicious occasion. He took
a sheet Of paper, wrote his name down for
$780, and passed 1t round. The girl was
popular and the idea caught on, and when
1t came round again to generous Jimmie
the total amounted to something over
$1,000. They summoned the landlord, hand
ed over the amount to him. and asked him
to give it to Miss White next morning with
their hearty good wishes for her happiness
Next day she was married, and the happy
bridegroom was-Jimmie Hughes.

STENCIL REPoUssE WORK
How the Old-Time Art Has Been De.
Perforated by Modern Methods.

From the New York Evening Post
Inc beauty of repousse work commends
1t to all lovers of art. 1t demands patient
labor, a good eye, firm hand, and a talent
for artistic design. First-class work paws
very handsomely and always finds a ready
market. But alas for art; the cheap-John
spirit has found it's way into this field. and
Is bringing forth deplorable results The
first step in this direction was made by en-
ploytng compound dies which punched the
metal IN such a way as to produce a
rough imitation Of the real work. The
blank was then finished by a workman who
practlcally was no more than a manual
laborer. This style of imitation did not in
met much injury upon the industry The
aCtlon or the die was apparent in spite of
all the retouching, and gave the finished
plate cheap mechanical appearance that
could be detected across room.
Inc next step was more scientific and eff
ilclent. 1t consisted in using stencils on the
back of the plate by which the hammering
became mere mechanical work. For simple
designs TWO stencils were sufficient While
Tor more complicated ones three four and
hVe were used. These stencils are made nv
artists and are usually very attractive
graceful or striking The work when done
properly is pleasing, and even when pro-
uuced by a novice is not objectionable but
by using the stencil almost ANYBODY can
manufacture plate in much shorter time
than by the old method. Both men and

ers, for somehow simplicity is not only an
unusual but an expensive quality. Ready
made dress frocks for misses are ridicu-
iously furbelowed, and good taste demands
that they should be otherwise. Simple lines
and girlish effects of trimming are the re-
quirements for the jeune file, though her
pale party frock may be made in the rich
est satin. Chiffon and ribbon sashes may
be hers, and she may wear small patterned
silks, point d'esprit, plain net and canvas.
But her trimmings are all babyfied, her
bodice knots tight rosettes, her founccs
scant and not too many of them.

A tour of the shops will just now result
In the finding of many inexpensive tex
tiles, the charming colorng and delcacy
Of which admit of the dressiest effects.
Rarely lovely muslins, painted gauzes and
organdies are seen at prices so low that
one marvels that the whole world Is not
gowned in airy, lace-trimmed attire. True,
the making up of such prettiness is a point
that few of us can afford not to consider,
but high priced dressmaker is not with
these modest fabrics, a necessity. Any
woman who has some knowledge of dress
may direct the undertaking, and a good
pattern with fairly sensible seamstress
can do the rest If heaven is on the side
Of the right, the gown will be made in two

wearer, of course.

and means of acquiring pretty summer

to be fitted out like a small cupboard or
chiffonier with shelves and little drawers.
But how about the woman with COM
paratively old-fashioned 36-inch trunk? Her
task is less easy, but by taking thought she
can save her wardrobe from creasing and
pack twice as much in given space as her
careless sister. The first principle to be OBJ
served is to keep the contents of the trunk
in fiat layers-this was evidently understood
by the man who first devised trays" But
a lot more can be packed in a trunk IL the
trays are removed-all except the top one
having several compartments in it. and
possibly the one Immediately beneath This
second tray is very useful when it comes
with the canvas strip or lattice work in
stead of board bottom, as then it does not
offer the hard fiat surface to crush the
lightweight gowns Immediately beneath it.

The heavier things should be put first into
the trunk. By heavier things is meant
wooden and cloth dress skirts, golf cape or

article to take on land trips. Fold the rug
to a size corresponding to the floor of the
trunk, and lay 1t in. Then comes the golf
cape, which can be folded first on the floor

ficiently impressed by the letter from
the Library Committee of the City
Council to induce him to break his rule
of demanding that cities to which he
gives public library buildings appro-
pirate 10 per cent. of the amount of
his donation annually for the mainten-
ance of the institution.
Mayor Myers, as chairman of the
committee, received a letter yesterday
from Mr.. Carnegie's secretary, Mr..
DSA ~ oAAAt lAAoI was "a ASAB C0I W
the point. In justice to the other cities
to which Mr.. Carnegie has given. or
will give, public library buildings"
wrote Mr.. Bertram, Savannah cannot
be considered upon any other than the
10 per cent basis"
That was all there was to it. 1t was
rather blow. 1t is doubtful if the
committee will decide to recommend to
Council an annual appropriation of 10
per cent. of what Mr.. Carnegie might
donate. One of it's members said posi-
lively that the committee would make
an unfavorable report, as the city is
scarcely able to make so large an an
nual expenditure.
A donation of $4,000 was suggested
to Mr.. Carnegie by the committee, and
it was delicately limited that some
thing like per cent. of that amount
would be about all that Savannah, with
its other financial burdens, would be
able to appropriate annually for the
maintenance of the library. Mr.. Car
negte's reply means that $4,000 year
would have to be expended by the city
The alternative of smaller dona-
ton is open to the committee, but that
does not avoid the 10 per cent. feature
Whatever amount might be accepted
from the lti-millionaire would carry
with it the obligation that the city put
UP one-tenth as much every year. The
largest amount ever mentioned as a
possible appropriation by the city was
$4,000, and that was when the hope
was expressed that 100000 would be
given.
1t is question in many minds as to
whether the people of the city gener-
ally want a public library for which
large annual appropriation would have
to be made. Many expressions against
it have been heard. Mayor Myers wants
a public meeting for the consideration
of the question, and one will probably
be held soon. From the views then ex-
pressed the City Council would be able
to gain an idea as to what the popular
opinion may be.

A BAR TO CRIME
JUDGE BARROW OPPOSED TO DE-
LAYS IN CRIMINAL TRIALS.

Jury for the Murder of Hattie
Bruen Last Thursday Night, and
the Negroes Stewart and Young
for the Murder of Young Dover
FOuntain-Burke and Stewart to
BE Tried This Week.-Mrs.. FOun-
tain Appeared Before the Grand
Jury.
Judge Barrow is determined on
prompt trials of criminal cases in the
Superior Court. The prompt and or
derby enforcement of the law he be-
aieves to be the greatest deterrent
to crime. and the greatest safeguard
against mob violence.
To the grand jury, which met yes
terday afternoon to act upon indict-
ments against the negro John Burke,
who shot and killed Hattie Bruen
Thursday night, and against James
Stewart and Richard Young for the
murder of young Dover Fountain,
Judge Barrow commented upon the
Importance of the prompt administra
ton of the law in criminal cases.
II have directed that you be called
together" he said, lin order that you
might consider two indictments. I have
deemed this action appropriate in view
of the recent and dreadful crimes of
violence that have shocked this COM
munity. The defendants in the cases
that will be brought to your attention
1 shall try next week, in the event you
Chn4I1d az fha tvs
them warrants their being presented
to the court"
The grand jury was in session a lit
tie more than half an hour and return
ed indictments against both Young
and Stewart for the Fountain murder,
and against Burke for the murder of
the Bruen woman. There were several
witnesses in the Burke case. Mrs.
Fountain, the mother of the murdered
boy, was the only witness against
Young and Stewart She was in the
jury room but a few minutes and the
indictment followed.
The cases have already been assign
ed for trial. that against Burke for
Tuesday and that against Stewart for
the day following. Young, jointly i'm
dicted with Stewart is still at large,
though every effort has been made to
effect his arrest and these efforts are
still being kept up with undated en-
ergy.
The crimes with which the two men
now in Jail are charged are too recent
to require further notice. Burke killed
a negro woman with whom he had been
living, while the assault upon young
Fountain and his aged mother by
Stewart and Young. in which the boy
lost his life, was one of the most wan
ton and cruel crimes in the recent his
tory of the county.
