Rag Carpets.

I want to tell the readers of the
Woman's Work how I make use of
the little strings and scraps left over
when l make a new garment, and
what l do with the old garments
when they give out. [ try to keep
all such things stored away in a
corn sack in the closet till l have
spare time to use them; and then l
get them out, and all the white
clothes and strings l have [ strip
them up into strings about an inch
wide, then l cut a little hole in the
end of each string, and then l begin
looping them together. Some pre-
fer lacking them, but I like looping
the best. After l get them all looped
l then wind them into balls. The
red, blue, or any other color [ may
have I do the same as l did my white
rags. After the strings are pre-
pared I get some ball thread, such
as the merchants use in tieing up
goods. Then 1 dye it any color I
may want to have. [ warp it off into
strands the length l want, until l
get 200 strands warped off; then I
draw it in my loom through a 400
sleigh, skipping every other reed in
the sleigh. By putting it in this
way l have my warp one yard wide
in width.
Now l am ready for any old gar
ment strings. I dye my white strings
with laurel leaves and hickory bark,
setting the dye with alum. I pre-
fer this color, because it don't fade.
If I have not enough of red, blue
and black %colors, I dye my strings.
I am now ready for weaving. I
a in about eight or ten strings
of some color, then I weave three
or four of another color; I put in
some yellow or red, then three or
four more of the other. Next come
my eight or ten strings again. This
is the way [ made some rugs for my
rooms this fall. I prefer weaving
them to any way l have ever tried,
making homemade rugs. Old black
stockings and red fannels, with a
yellow stripe between the black,
make beautiful rugs.-Mrs. IF. Y. L.,

YOUNG WOMAN ASSAULTED.
Assalant Followed Her and Struck
Her With a Brick

While returning home Saturday night
about 10 o'clock Miss Emma Hawks
who lives at 513 Hydraulic avenue. was
down with a brick. Her screams, to-
gether with those Of a woman who was
z short distance ahead, proved too much
for the assailant and after beating the
girl brutally, he disappeared in the dark.
Miss Hawks works in the Tornado store
and was returning home after the store
closed. After leaving Douglas avenue. she
heard someone following her. but think
ing it was some person hurrying home,
paid no attention to il until the person
almost caught up with her. The street
at that point was very dark and, think
ing that she might be held up. she slip
ped her purse inside her sleeve. When
about the middle of the second block on
Ellis avenue she received a heavy blow
on the head. which knocked her to the
pavement. She screamed as she fell but
her assailant grabbed her by the hair
and thrust his hand over her mouth. then
began beating her head upon the pave
ment Miss Baker, who was just ahead,
heard her screams and ran back, and the
assailant. hearing her approach, released
Miss Hawks and disappeared. Several
persons arrived on the scene and accom-
panied Miss Hawks to her home. She
was not severely injured by the blow.
which she lays to the fact that the mis-
sile struck her on the coil of her hair.
1t is thought that the missile used in
striking Miss Hawks down was q brick
as one was found on the spot early Sun
day morning. and the brick found is like
those being used in the construction Of
the Frisco depot which would indicate
that her assailant had followed her from

WICHITA IS A
RESERVE CITY
Telegram to That Effect Re-
ceived Yesterday.
WILL INCREASE DEPOSITS
In Wichita National Banks
100000.

The following telegram from Washing
ton, D. c., was received yesterday after
noon by L. S Naftzger, president of
the Fourth National bank of this city:
Il. S. Naftzger, President of Fourth
National Bank:
Wichita designated as reserve city this
day. Certificate mailed you.
IF. P. KANE,
Deputy and Acting Comptroller"
While this message was sent to the
president OF the Fourth National bank,
il affords all national banks of Wichita
alike and places their credit in Wash
ington on an equal basis. 1t is in an
swer TO petitions sent to Washington by
every national bank in Wichita
The fact that Wichita is TO be made
a reserve city means that the bank de-
poSits Will be increased, on cOnserVa-
tive estimate. 81 100000. and places Wich-
ita on equal basis with Kansas City
and st. Joseph and other points For
merly the small b9,ks in Wichita's nat
ural territory were required TO make their
deposits in Kansas City. ST Joseph and
eastern reserve cities, and now while
they are not compelled to psace their
money in Wichita banks. it is natural to
suppose that it will be deposited In the
nearest reserve center.
Wichita's natural jObbing territory is
large and the banks expect to cover about
the same territory. Formerly when a
merchant in Oklahoma or any other part
of Wichita's territory bought goods from
a Wichita jobbing house il was neces-
sary to buy a draft on banks in Kansas
City, st. Louis or some other reserve
city and the small bank kept drafts on
these banks on hand for that purpose
Under the new order this will be done
away with to a large extent and instead
of going through the hands of banks in
other reserve cities the drafts will come
directly to Wichita and he drawn on
Wichita banks. This plan will greatly
increase the deposits in the banks here
and will be great convenience

Ii is a self governing organization es
tablished in 1877. 1t gives insurance TO
its members at actual cost, unmixed
with investments and speculative
schemes that only serve to increase the
cost and in the end disappoint the
policy holders. It's rates are based
upon the actual risks. A lower rate
would be unsafe, higher one needless
ly oppressive. 1t admits woman to
equal privileges with men in all re-
spects. All claims are paid promptly
and in full. The time to insure is now
while in health. Delays are dangerous.
A week hence may make it impossible

TO BAR WOMAN LAWYERS.
Bar Association Proposes to Put MALE"
In Its Constitution.

Resale Loew, AS she is known in the
practice OF law, or Mrs. T. H. Whitney,
as she is known at home, came up for con-
sideration at the regular meeting Of the
Bar Association last night. Some time
ago Ce2has Brainerd and Edward B. Whit
ney proposed her for membership in the
association. No woman had ever been
proposed for membership before and OPP
position Immediately arose.
For several days members of the associa-
tion have been trying to find a way Of
keeping Miss Loew, or any other woman
lawyer, out of the organization without
actually blackballing her. A way was
found last night when resolution, signed
by ten members, was introduced, providing
for An amendment to the constitution limit
ing the membership to "male" lawyers.
The resolution was introduced by Abra-
ham V. Campbell. II was laid over with
out debate until Tuesday, Dec. s.
The committee on judicial nominations
commended the denomination of Judge
Denis OBrien OF the Court OF Appeals
and Justice Henry Bischotf Of the SUI

VAC VEAGH GAVE OFFENCE.
Saved Himself From Recall by Quitting
The Hague.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-Information re-
ceived here from The Hague, both by letter
and through people who have just come
back from there, is to the effect that by
his sudden departure thence for home the
Hon. Wayne MacVeagh saved himself from
recall as the counsel of Venezuela and
the creditor nations which appeared before
the International Tribunal Of Arbitration
in opposition to the contention of England,
Germany and Italy that they were entitled
to preferential trea tment in the distribution
of the Venezuelan Indemnity fund.
According to statements which come
from reliable sources, Mr., MacVeagh set
the tribunal by the ears and provoked much
i'll feeling on ell sides. 1t is declared that
had Mr. Macveagh elected to stay until
the tribunal completed its work the situa-
ton would have developed protests against
his continuance as counsel
As it was, consideration WAS given to
the question Of his recall.
The principal charge against Mr.. Mac
yeagh was that he had written letter to the
executive council of the tribunal in which
be said in effect, accc ding to report, that
il the arbitrators were lawyers instead OF
diplomats they would know their business
better. This was regarded as insulting
by the tribunal. Another charge was that
he went far beyond his rights as counsel
by accusing the British Government Of
having fomented the revolution against
the Venezuelan Government. This state
ment gave great offeros to the United States
legation at The Hague. which maintained
that it was unwarranted
Mr.. Macveagb's departure from The
Hague left the interests of Venezuela and
the United States represented by William
r. Penfield. the Solicitor of the State De-
partment. and Herbert W. Bowen, tho
United States Minister to Venezuela.

SET A THEATRE on FIRE.
Night Waterman COnfesses That He and
Manager Started the Blaze.

BALTIMORE, Oct 19,-Early this morning
Ere started In one OF the dressing rooms
Of the Empire Theatre, and this afternoon
Charles 7. Bevan. the night Waterman.
informed the police that Leonard Scarlet,
manager OF the stock company playing
there, had set Are to the house and that
he helped him to do so. Bevan said
that after the performance last night Scar
lett ordered him to collect all the old pro-
grammes and, with some excelsior, banked
the collection behind door. Scarlet then
set fire to the pile and both walked away.
The fire was discovered by policeman
and was extinguished by the firemen before
It had gained much Roadway. A little less
than an hour afterward the blaze was
started again, this time by the Waterman,
acting, as he declares, under orders from
Scarlet. and it spread 80 rapidly as to
cause another alarm. The two fires and
the disappearance of Scarlet led the
authorities to make an investigation, which
led to the arrest and subsequent confess
sion OF Bevan.
The Empire has not been prospecting
financially Of late. The theatre recently
furnished bit Of gossip when the Leading
lady. Miss Mabel Bardine, refused to kiss
Mr.. Scarlet on the stage. The police
are now searching for Scarlet. His proper
name is Tibbets.

the revenue cutter Petrol the Canadian
craft which patrols the boundary line
between the Canadian and American waters
in this neighborhood. finally succeeded
in capturing the tug Star, manned by Capt.
Cobb, who is also the owner Of the boat,
about two miles over the line and just east
of Longpoint, at o'clock this afternoon.
The capture was witnessed by half a
dozen other craft of the fleet, including
the Silver Spray, which on two occasions
has given the Petrol an exciting but vain
chase The Petrol came down on the fleet
so suddenly and with such speed that the
fishermen scarcely realized that she was
among them until she was seen to run along
side of the Star, take her in tow and head
for Point Burwell. The Star is one of the
smallest of the fish tugs of the bay and is
not speedy.
