Miss ROoseVeIfs Portrait

The winsome countenance OF Miss Alice
Roosevelt will shortly look forth from ivory
for the daughter Of the President is hav-
ing her miniature painted in New York.
Miss Zoe Fleming Dunlap, of No. 465 Cen
tral Fark West, is the lucky artist who Is
executing the commission, and already the
likeness is we'll on toward completion
1t represents Miss Roosevelt in her hap
piest moments and the expression Is said
to be her best. In fact, 1t was seen by the
Presidents wife and Mrs. Hansbrough,
wife of Senator Hansbrough Of New
Hampshire when they were in the city
on Decoration Day at the unveiling Of the
Sherman statue ceremonies, and 1t was
pronounced by them to be an excellent
likeness. They were delighted with It,
which pleased the artist tremendously.
One reaso nthat Miss Roosevelts friends
expect the miniature to be satisfactory, be-
sides the fact that Miss Dunlap is par
ticularly gifted in this line Of ant, is that
1t is being painted from life
1t was begun in Washington last spring
when Miss Dunlap was visiting Mrs.
Hansbrough, and since then the artist has
gone to Washington specially on several
different occasions for the purpose of af.
fixing the lineaments OF the President.

comparing the miniature with the original
when it will be completed.
This is the first time that Miss Roose

result. That it will be eminently salts
factory none for moment doubt, for Mis-
Roosevelt has the style peculiarly suite,
to such quaint sort Of likenesses.
Miss Dunlap, the artist, is not tryinl
any experiments with ivory, for she ha
long been acknowledged in New York to b
one of the cleverest miniature painters d
the city. Her work has a finish and deli

French masters, and she has a collection
which includes the likenesses of man

SHIPBUILDING CONCERN
ASKS FOR RECEIVERS
United States Company Is
Charged With Insolvency

Trenton, n. D. June Il. -- s"us'
Kirkuatrlck In the United States cir
cult court at bis chambers in Newark
made an order returnable In Trenton
next Monday for cause TO be shown
why receiver should not be ap-
pointed for the United States Ship
building Company. The application
was made by Roland b. Conklin and
others, who charge that the company
Is insolvent and who also allege fraud
in connection with its incorporation
and management The company was
organized about a year ago, with an
authorized capital OF s2O,O00,00O and
with a provision for a bond issue of
S16,O0O,OOO. Of which s9.OO0,0O0 was to
be underwritten by a trust company.
lt is charged by Conklin and his co
suitors that the properties acquired
were worth nothing like S20.000,000
and that the earning capacity was
only S1,O00.00O, an amount insufficient
to pay the companys fixed charges II
Is also charged that by reason Of q

Lace Makers of Malta

The Consular reports give some in
teresting facts about the manufacture
Of Maltese lace.
OF late years It's fame has been in
creasing, and il now bids fair to become
popular In the United States, more es-
pecially as the art Of lace-making is dy-
ing out among the European peasantry,
particularly in Belgium, where the pro-
duction is decreasing on account OF the
small wages earned by the women en-
gagged in it. Lace-malSing machinery
has also influenced the low prices paid
for such labor.
the greater part of Maltese lace
which is made for expectation comes
from the Island of Gozo, one of the
Maltese group, where there are many
women and girls engaged in its manu-
facture. There is hardly a family
among the poorer classes that does not
produce lace, all of it handmade. Con-
sui John II. Trout says that he does not
believe machinery for the purpose will
ever be introduced, as the people have
the deepest aversion to labOr-saving
machinery of all kinds. In. many lines
of industry the methods in vogue years
ago are employed today.
In these Maltese families the art of
lace-making is handed down from gem
Grafton to generation. Often one Will
find a beautiful design only made by
one family. In the matter of designs,
the workers of Malta are entirely origl-
nal, though skilled in carrying out spe-
cial designs such as are sometimes or
dered.
Wages earned by the men are so low
that housewives are very glad to earn
additional money by lace-making at
home, giving all their spare time to it,
and training their children in the art.
Some of the articles made are handker-
chiefs, edglngs, pillow covers, collars,
boleros, lamp shades, shawls, mantil-
las. and even whole skirts. SILK is the
material originally and chiefly used, but
lately there has been demand for cot
ton lace. Maltese lace is extremely
delicate and fine, its floral traceries be-
ing especially beautiful.
During the past six months, say Con-
sui Grout, more lace has been invoiced
10 American dry goods houses than
for forty years. Some large firms con-
troll the work of many families, supply
ing them with the silk or cotton used
in making the lace.
