LAUREL, Nd, September II. 1903.
Mr. Charles H. Stanley, one Of the fore
most citizens of Laurel, and well known
throughout the state, was member Of the
Maryland delegation, headed by Governor
John Walter Smith that attended the

Daniel Johnson, aged colored pen
sioner of the government, was buried at
Murkirk Md, Thursday afternoon. John
son died Wednesday at the Maryland Uni

result of injuries sustained in fall late

on Main street here. and received frac-
ture of the right knee and hip. At the
time of the accident, 1t was stated, no one
was around, but the groans of the old man
soon brought assistance to him. Upon aid
reaching him he requested that he be picked
up, telling those about him that he had
broken his leg. 1t was at first thought the
old man had met with but slight acct
dent and was dazed by the fall. Upon ex-
animation by local physician, however,
1t was considered best that the old man be
sent to a hospital, and Tuesday he was
taken to Baltimore. 1t is understood that
an examination of Johnson at the institu-
ton revealed that besides the injuries to
his knee and hip he was suffering from
internal hurts. The age of the injured
man told against him in his fight for life
and he rapidly sank until his death oc-
CURED as stated. Johnson was sixty five
years old and had lived here for many
years.

ARTISTIC SWEETS.
The Chief Patisserie Is an Important
Functionary.

Written for The Evening Star.
"They had their best hats on the table
and ate out of them.' said the excited maid
in a household Of moderate circumstances
who had been invited by the servants in a
family of great wealth to see the table
decorations at an elaborate function
She was right about the hats. and they
were large enough and quite effective
enough for any woman to delight in wear
ing. but they would not have been comfort
able, for they were of sugar.
The average housewife is apt to consider
the sugar work Of the confectioner as a
thing of the past ana not now to be con-
sidered in good taste. This is quite true
as she remembers the big. elaborate we'd
ding cakes, monuments of filigree work,
which were a glory some time ago. Now.
as a rule, the wedding cake is seen by tie
guests at a wedding only in small pieces
as 1t appears in the individual boxes. ana
the brides cake. which is cut at the taple,
is a simple affair.
That is the fashion with the up-to-date
American, but in places where there Is a
large German population these cakes are
still to be found, and the decorations have
increased rather than diminished. Ger
mans are believers in home festivals, and
at birthdays as well as wedding and other
anniversaries. turtle doves. Cupids. little
brides and grooms and other sentimental
emblems decorate their cakes along with
blematic things of all kinds for different
occasions
With the decline of the sentimental SYM
bols In fashionable society there has been a
development of sugar work in more artistic
designs, which are used for receptacles
| for ices and bonbons, and they help to bring
| the cost of the feasts of the rich into the
hundreds and thousands of dollars.
Hats, which surprised the modest little
serving maid. are a favorite form of dec
grafton. They appear in beautiful designs,
and Gainsboroughs and big ostrich plumes
and roses strikingly natural in form
| and color. Parasols are another pretty fad
| in this line. A New York chef patisserie
copied one used by Sarah Bernhardt and
called it by her name 1t was distinguished
| by fluffy top and fuchsia -twined handle.
There was never a time when things en-
blematic were in such general demand In
| every way. Yachts and automobiles are
| made in sugar for the table of the yachts
man and automobilist. A woman giving
| a house warming had set at each place on
| the dinner table small sugar houses filled
with bonbons. What looks to be a willow
| basket will be of pulled sugar. with twist
| ed handle a ribbon bow of spun sugar on
| the top and decorations Of American beauty
| roses, life size and in their natural color.
| Even charlottes have arched sugar tops.
and the housewife gets an idea from this
| and frosts the lady fingers used SO as to
| match a general color scheme.
