NEW CENTER PIECES

Table Talk

The question Of pretty centerpieces for
the table Is one that always interests
womankind. Good taste has so much lib
erty to expend itself in that direction, and
sometimes it seems as tho nothing repays
one better than the careful and artistic
arrangement Of table decoration.
The newest centerpieces are now
wrought In ribbon. This sort of work is
not difficult to those who have any
knowledge Of fancy work, and it is much
more quickly done than ordinary en-
broidery. Another new idea is to. have
the edges Of the centerpiece cut in sharp

A very pretty set of this description
recently noted was of fine white linen, en-
broidered with clusters of marquerites in
the palest shade Of yellow, tied with bows
Of shaded blue ribbon. The flower petals
were made of ribbon, and the centers of
the blossoms were in French knots of
filoselle, deeper in color. Narrow frills
bordered with blue and yellow baby rib

doilies that came with 1t were simple

Talking of flowers, the blossoms Of the
rhododendron can be very effectively en-
ployed, either in bowls or distributed.

Their cerise color is so brilliant The sug-
gestion is made that they be arranged
in the center Of the table In the form of q,
star. AT each point of the star candle
stick can be placed, and between the can
dlesticks festoons of cerise ribbon may
depend, attached to each by bow The
candles should have cerise shades, and
ribbon of the same color may be employed
elsewhere on the table.
Yet another idea Is to fill hallow
bowl with purple iris blossoms, or flags"
as they are popularity called. Smaller
bowls may adorn each corner of the table,
and from these to the center ropes OF
Towering clematis may be strung.

Allegations.

PITTSBURG, Aug. 2s.-The story that
there was dissatisfaction in the ranks
of the ST. Louis club and that certain
members of the team were dissatisfied
with the management of Patsey Dono-
van, has aroused the ire of certain of
the St. Louis players, particularly those
who were said TO be the archconspir-
ators. Among those mentioned as being
bitterly opposed to Donovan were the
famous O'Neil brothers, Brain and Bar

him last night. as we'll as for the other

Stanley Robson concurred in every

play again this season.

Railroads in Africa.

Advices from South Africa contain
some interesting figures concerning the
building of railroads for the year ended
June 80. According to these reports the
British South Africa Company opened
1,240 miles Of railway. making .557 miles
OF 35k-foot gauge and 81 miles of 2-foot
gauge in the country. Connection has
been established between Beira and Bull
owayo. The output of gold has in
creased from 1850 ounces in January
1901, to 22,137 ounces in May. 1903, with
an average of %. 600 ounces for the first
six months of this year. 1t is intended
shortly to throw open northern Rhodesia
TO prospectors and settlers. The trunk
railway to the north is approaching Fam
bezi, and large discoveries of gold, cop
per, lead, zinc, and coal are reported to
have been made. The mileage OF the
railways in progress in southern Rho
desia is now nearly 1000 miles-greater
than those of the Transvaal, Orange
River Colony. and Natal combined. The
immense deposits OF coal in this terri
tory are only slightly inferior to those
in South Wales. Gold is being produced
at the rate of about $4,000. OGO per an
mum. There are vast deposits of copper,
lead, zinc, and other minerals, while the
soil and climate are adapted to the Gull
tivation of grain, native cotton, and to-
bacco.

Few Houses Left.

Few Houses Left.
In disposing of the fifty houses on the
site OF the Union Station yesterday, Auc-
tioneer Radcliffe left but thirty more
structures to go under the hammer, and
which must be gotten out of the way
of the engineers and contractors in less
than sixty days. When these are gone
the auctioneer will have sold nearly
four hundred dwellings and other struc-
lures Those disposed OF yesterday
must be removed within thirty days.
while those sold last month must be
off the ground in ten days. OF these
latter buildings all but five have been
taken away.
In the crowd which watched the pro-
ceedings yesterday were several of the
engineers of the Baltimore and Ohio and
officers OF the Pennsylvania. These gen.

getting to work. as it has been their
boast that they can have the station
in shape to handle the crowds which
come to the Inauguration in 1905. Said
one of them:

laying us-this and trivial law suits.
There are some persons now trying to
hold up matters for no really honest
reason on the ground that the law un-
der which the improvements are 40 be
made is unconstitutional These cases
are not going to hold in court, but they
serve to delay actual construction. TIE
same class OF people are complaining
that the District should not contribute
the million and half dollars provided
for by the law. This view is in keeping
with the two by-four souls OF the people
who would delay us. They do not cake
into consideration the vast amount Of
money the railroads are going to Epend
here.
Before the lines are done they will
have spent more than SIS 900 900 In the
District OF this. about 20 per cent is
going to be paid out in salaries and
wages, and the merchants. hotel keepers.
shop keepers and business men generally
are going to get most of the money. In
other words, the railroad improvements
are going to put nearly $2.0OO.O 900 in cir
culation in Washington. The District
is going to get back more money than 1t
pays out.
In addition to this, the city is to
have one of the finest railroad stations
in the world"
The completed plans, those under
which the railroads are to ask for per-
mits 10 begin work. are expected to be
ready for the authorities in about ten
days.
