How to Renovate Mating

In taking up mating the tack heads sometimes leave circles of rust. When the mating is to be turned this does not make much difference, but if you wish to remove rust stains have in readiness some muriatic acid, dry cloths, hot iron, sponge, bowl of boiling water, an old nailbrush and a bucket or two of cold water. Cover the spot with white paper and place a hot iron upon it. When the spot Is well heated dip in the acid and apply to the spot. This will turn it vivid yellow. Then dip the brush into the boiling water and very quickly apply dt to the spot, Sponge off with cold water. Several applications will be re- quired to correct the effect of the acid, which is very strong. Be careful only to touch the stain, as the acid will spread if given a chance.

A DEVIL IN SKIRTS. :"

Unlike most melodramas, "A Devil in Skirts" which will be played at Polls fo-morrow evening, tells a prob able story. The plot of the play is strong, sensational and yet consistent. The title is suggested by a beautiful and accomplished diplomatic adven- turess, who long moved in the most se- lect circles of Washington society. Al ways intriguing, now for a state. se- cret. then for a heart, she lived a life of perfect ease, until while engaged in a most infamous plot, she ran afoul of a young Washington newspaper man. The production of "A Devil in Skirts! is an entirely adequate one.

pi.eeurasers of Suicide.

A favorite method of suicide in Ja- pan lately has been to leap over cer- tain waterfalls. So frequent have such occurrences become that police are now constantly stationed in their neighbor- hood, and large notice boards are erect ed bearing inscriptions in large let ters, of which the following transla- ton is an example, says the St James Gazette: "Do not drown yourself here. Intending suicides are warned that heaven disapproves of the utilization of Kegon waterfall for the purpose. This is certified on the best priestly authority, and serious consequences in the hereafter are guaranteed. To drown here is also forbidden by the prefec- t1ral authorities"

A DEsPERADO'S VIEWS
Gustave Marx Tells Why He
 Became an Outlaw.

 ScaGolain9 Painting," Says Chi-
 caEO Man-A SchoOImate's Tribute.
 Gustave Marx, the young desperado of Chicago whose confession has clear ed away the mystery surrounding six murders, Is pronounced by alienists a victim of the dime novel, of gang feuds and of the lawless dance hall. Reared in rough quarter of Chicago, Marx and the three accomplices he ac- cuees drifted naturally into outlawry.
 ssIt wasn't so much dime novels, I guess" said Marx as he lounged against the grating of his cell. We were. not trying to be bad men for the glory in it. We needed the money that's all.
 T was making $25 a week as a painter, but that is not enough when you are hitting up the races. Did I eveE expect to reform? We'll, I guess not could never have gone back to ths old slow life on $25 week. Whats lie anyway? To enjoy yourself till you die, isn't it? And you can't die more than once, can you? knew tbay'd get me sooner or later, but I afsFde up my mind I'd have a good time as long as 1t lasted and then take my medicine.
 The men were killed. because they did not obey orders quick enough. Some. of them made foolish moves aft CT we had the drop on them, and these moves cost them their lives"
 Marks companions, Harvey vandine, Peter Niedermeier and Ernest Roeski, are fugitives, with score of police on their trail
 eve had.decided to kill Roeski,'' said Marx, because we could not trust him. He slipped away and did not take part in the car barn robbery
 sN6ne of us trusted Niedermeier,n: he continued. T was not afraid of him telling on me, for be was worse than I was, but he was tricky, and I was afraid he would shoot me in the back and grab all the money after he did some job. T. always kept him cov- cred and would have killed him first had he attempted anything. Vandine was honest. I trusted him.
 They can't hang me but once. I was never afraid of anything. I al ways expected to be killed. I wish I had been killed when shot Quinn.
 sYes, used to read the Bible when Twas home. That was a bluff for the old folks. I, wasn't much on the read rnnly: newspapers and some thrillers, of course. But any one who tries to followtout dime novel methods in hold upsrWill get caught every time,'
 Then how did you get, into the fife?"
 T couldn't see that would be risk ing nay life in a holdup any more than did every day on rickety scaffold- ing painting. Our first job fell through. We were regular amateurs. We were going to hold up a Northwestern train

How to Wave the Hair.

According to the hairdresser, an easy way to wave the hair without the heated iron is to braid it in three strands, two large and one quite small. Braid loosely and when the end is reached hold the small strand tight and push the others up to the roots and pin it in place to remain over night.

 Everything is ''la taupe" (moleskin) with Parisians. and it Is used for fiounces, boleros, pelerines, etc. New mousseline de soie robes are mole col ored and decorated with a wide band of mole at the edge of the skirt and inch wide bands on the corsage.

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQUES

The gorgeous Papinta repeated her sensation at the Jacques yesterday, and on all sides one hears exclamations ol enthusiasm over the splendid spectacu
 lar dances she is introducing. Unlike the Girl with the Auburn Hair, there is no mystery about Papinta, although to some there is something 1nexpl1cable in the way she manages to secure such bewilderfngly beautiful effects in the dances she executes. This is, of course, done by the aid of mirrors and electric lights, but to handle all the apparatus used fourteen men have to be pressed into service. These men are engaged in manipulating lights which are used from every conceivable point and in placing the mirrors which are exceed 1ngly large ande heavy and have to be adjusted with the most precise care. As anyone will admit who has seen the act, it is one of the most fascinating and enchanting spectacles ever ar ranged for stage exhibition, easily car ry1ng the spectator in fancy to scenes of ancient splendor that are now but faint memories of history. It is an act that everyone should see and wOn- der how far it Is possible to carry nov

The Governor has set at rest all ru
'mors as to the disposition of the Tyre
Good Roads bill by announcing that
he has approved the measure. While
this bill was not in our opinion the
best one before the Legislature, says
the Middletown transcript, it was the
only one that passed. It apprOpriates
$4,000 of State aid yearly to each
county, conditioned on the county pro
viding like sum, and calls for three
commissioners, one from each county.
The Governor has appointed Mr.. Cor
nelius J. HGrrigan as New Castle
County's commissioner, and the choice
is an excellent one and sugurs well for
the start of the system.
With the two appropriations of $10,-
600 each, New Castle County ought to
be able to build from to miles of
improved roads each year, as with
crushed stone at hand and fairly cheap
and gravel in abundance in nearly
every locality, the cost per mile should
not be over SO, 900 to S4, 900 per mile.
In the two years covered by the ap-
preparation this ought to result in 10
or Is miles of good hard highways,
that should stand as an object lesson
20 the public We hope that the Levy
Court will at once provide the neces-
sary funds so that the first years work
may be completed before the frosts of
the next winter set in. And we hope
that the commissioners of Roads will
provide a plan that will result in Sc
curing a continuous good road from
one end of the county to the other
rather than to do piece meal work
which will result in a system resem-
bling ''crazy quilt" Let us have a
good State Road and the branches will
follow naturally.
