DAINTY NEEDLE WORK.
"French China" Ks the EuphOniOua
Name Given to the Latest Fancy
I'm Embroidery.

New suggestions for embroidery or
adoptions of old ideas that pass mus
. ter as novelties are always welcomed
by the woman skilled with her needle,
particularly if she be of an artistic bent
Of mind. and French china work a new
and charming manifestation of needle
skill is likely, therefore, to find many
admirers. 1t is comparatively easy of
execution, and Is as dainty as bit of
Sevres porcelain, this dominant charac-
teristic Of delicacy accounting for the
name that has been bestowed upon this
latest development in needle painting.
The same patterns are used and there is
the same idea Of raised effect as in eight
zenith century ribbon work, but the end
Is achieved through the medium of en-
broidery silk and stitchery, pure and
simple. Half dozen threads of flo
Z are employed for the satin stitch which
ID ingeniously adapted to the render
ing of leaves and flowers, while the
stalks and finer details are worked out
In one or two strands. One advantage
OF this work is that no frame Is re-
luired while the patterns may be car
ried out in washing silk upon linen in

A UNIQUE NEWSPAPER.

Il. Stead-Will Be Sociological
I'm Character.

William T. Stead announces that he
will begin publishing unique newspa-
per in London in January. 1t probably
will be known as the Daily Paper, and
be almost entirely sociological in char
acter. Girls will deliver the sheet at
homes after the husband has gone to his
business. The messengers will collect
orders on tradesmen, to be telephone0
at the expense of the publisher from
depots established for the purpose, anG
the goods desired will be delivered col
lect by the storekeeper few hours later
Several other innovations are proposed
along this line. The news columns will
be devoted almost exclusively to news
for home circles, no sporting or mar
ket items being published. Four edi-
lions are planned. each suited to the
various divisions of the city. Mr. Stead
says the editorial views will be intense
~ political. but not partisan.

PARAsoL FOR DEFENSE.
London Women Of the Upper Tendon
Are Learning Protection
& Against Ruth ians.

For some reason thee has been q
great increase of late in what London
folk call "hooliganism." The riotous
street demonstrations on "Mafeking
night" and in celebration of the close
OF the Boer war, taught the stream Of
toughs who poured out from White
chapel into the West end that the re-
nowned London bobby" could not be
everywhere at once, and that with
ratio Of 20 hooligans to one bobby
quite bit of lawbreaking might be
done in more safety than had been sup
posed.
Since then number of solitary way
farers have been attacked and robbed,
and two or three have been murdered
all of which was most disconcerting to
the Independent English woman, who
has taken to going on bicycle rides into
the country by herself, and to walking.
about the city streets in the daytime
without the chaperone who was con-
sidered so necessary few years ago.
Lady Jeune had her purse wrenched
from her recently by hooligan in the
fashionable Kensington district of Lon
don, and Lady Mary Sackville was
robbed of her bag and chatelaine not
long ago by a rough who struck her
and decamped. Many other attacks Of
the sort have been made on less famous
folk.
In consequence of this state of affairs
it occurred to young French woman.
the wife of the famous French swords
man, Pierre Vigny, to undertake the in
struction of Englishwomen in the art of
self-defense with parasol or walking
stick, according to system devised by
her gallant husband who has devoted
years to its perfection. 1t may best be
! described as a mixture of the various
different methods of self-defense, prac-
ticed in England, France, Germany and
Japan. Many of the passes, thrusts and
wards used in fencing are comprised in
it. Some of the guards used by boxers
and movements Of the leg and foot prac-
ticed by opponents of French boxing are
introduced, as we'll as certain methods
peculiar to German swordsmen and pro-
fessors of the rapier. Numerous tricks
| are borrowed from the marvellous jap
anese system known as "Ju, Jit Su," or
weakness against strength" against

less as babe, and any delicate lady
who becomes proficient in the art can

tended for table covers, dresser scarfs
and any of the many accessories of this
sort for table and boudOir.
An exceedingly effective example of
this work is the table cover of which a
corner is here illustrated. Its grace
full ribbon-tied festoons of diminutive
blossoms. in tones Of rose, soft, faint
blues and yellows with here and there
touch of purple or orange, are charm
tngly blended with the green's of the
foliage. By a clever arrangement of
stitches, the characteristics of the flow
er forms are indicated, especially in
the roses, in which, touched in with
three shades of rose color, the satin
stitches are worked horizontally and
overlapping one another here and there
indicate the little crumplings of the
folded petals. A couple of stitches are
all that is necessary to indicate each of
the delicate green leaves in the sprays
Of foliage 1t is this that constitutes
one of the charms of the work that,
while by no means difficult to carry out,
1t affords so much opportunity for light
ness and variety of touch. Edged with
French lace, such cover is especially
adapted for the five o'clock tea table
with its equipment of glistening silver
and dainty china. Another design that
may be successfully carried out on fine
white linen shows pink roses incased
within an empire frame of laurel leaves
and small purple berries.-Brooklyn

at least one or two roughs so long az
she retains her presence of mind and
her umbrella!
The accompanying photograph, made
for the Kansas City Star, and for which
Nine. Vigny consented to pose, gives
better idea of the system than any de-
scription could.
Miss Baden-Powell, the sister of the
famous general, impressed by her broth
er's adage that "a smile and a stout
stick will carry one through any diff
Guilty" has become proficient in self
defense with a parasol and walking
cane.
The method of self-defense with an
umbrella or walking-stick does not take
long to acquire. After three months
tuition an average young girl would be
equal to almost any emergency No
matter how we'll a rough might box, he
would have no chance to get in blow.
and he would be powerless to protect
himself from terrible punishment in
the shape of thrusts or prods, and while
staggering from the effects of these he
would receive blows on the head and
face that would speedily dispose of him.
Furthermore, the pupils are taught how
| to trip an adversary up and throw him
with the handle of the umbrella, and
how to throw him, should he close
after the manner of the japanese. A
combined knowledge of the laws OF

How to Clean Lace Curtains.

A professional cleaner says that the
best method of cleansing lace curtains
at home is to make suds of warm wa
ter, white CASTLE soap and little borax.
If the curtains are very dirty, scrub
them gently with soft scrubbing brush.
Lace curtains should never be rubbed
between the hands. This stretches the
mesh and is very likely to tear holes in

BUSINESS IS BUSINESS.

Business men in other cities, when they want to clinch a transaction of some kind with a man from another city, invite him to their homes where a fine repast is provided, the family makes the evening pleasant for him, and he goes away feeling that he has made an acquisition to his list of &C., quaintances.
 It's very different in New York. A business deal may hang fire for a week between New Yorker and an out of town man and the New Yorker will not even mention his family. Indeed, if the man from other parts inadvert- ently mentions his wife or his children the New Yorker gives him a cold, meaningless state as though he didn't know what family ties are. Social amenities are entirely disregarded in business here. If a merchant wants to sell a large bill of goods to a man from some other city he will take him to lunch, to dinners, to the theaters, automobile riding, on a tour of the slums or any place that will put his prospective customer in a happy and buying frame of mind, but he doesn't take him near his home nor invite members of his family to help at the entertaining. The out of town man is not supposed to know that the New Yorker has a home or family. He is not supposed to inquire about the

HELD TO ANSWER
Juan Tells a Feeble Story in His Own
 Defense.

Juan, the Pima Indian, who was ar rested for stealing a horse belonging to F. w. Thode, from the pasture of w. ". Price, south of the river, was examined yesterday by Justice Rob- ertson and held to answer to the grand jury. His bond was fixed at $250, but he could not give it and was remanded to jail.
 Juan offered very weak sort of story in. defense of his conduct. He said he and another Indian were hunt ing horses in the vicinity of Prices ranch. Thus far the story was no doubt true, and they seemed to have found what they were locking for. But Juan said that when he saw the Thode horse it was night and in the doubtful light of the moon he discovered what he fancied was an Indian brand on the horse taken. He reasoned that if it was an Indian brand, he being an Indian. had better right to the horse than any white man. and there was no one to be found that night at the Price ranch of whom he could make inquiry. Rather than make any mis- take he took the horse along with him.

WHAT WILL THEY CONVENE FOR

With their national convention only fourteen weeks away. the democrats are without either strong candidates or definite issues.
 For the nominee there are many suggestions. but none is so well re- ceived as to move factions to combine either for or against him. There is not even a second choice upon whom to settle when local royalties have had their chance and failed.
 Suggested issues are as lifeless as suggested candidates. None has been presented that arouses any real in terest.
 t The public reception of the recent decision of the supreme court shows that neither trust batting nor trust de- fense can be made a paramount issue
 Senator Germans effort to make Panama the basis of a national move ment against imperialism has failed miserably. It was as futile as MT Bryan's Is to 1.
 ggThe present effort of the democrats in congress to make a great issue" out of the postal scandals will also fail The democrats do not really want the sweeping investigation" they demand It would go too far, and show that pork barrel statesmanship is absolute ly bipartisan.
 Without a candidate in sight, and without policies to execute if they should win, what will the democrats convene for in national assembly al St. Louis?

Mesa Votes Solidly for the Tonto
 Road.

Returns were received last night from the bond election at Mesa for the pur- pose of issuing bonds to aid in the construction of the Tonto road. The vote in favor of the bonds was unani- nous. There were sixty-eight votes cast out of a possible seventy. There was more enthusiasm in the election than could have been reasonably eX- pected in a contest so one sided that it was no contest at all. The officers of the election were: Inspector, D. M. Le- Baron; judges. J. H. Pomeroy and John A. Williams; clerks. J. G. Peterson and F. T. Pomeroy.
 This vote had been carefully can vassed and the election turned out as it had been supposed it would. Among the speakers at the mass meeting in this city last week were Dr. E. w. Will bur and Dr. A. J. Chandler. The for mer said that the most careful inquiry failed to show that there was any op- position at all in Mesa to the issue of the bonds He believed that every vote cast would be for them. Still, he said there were badly constructed people in every community and it was possi- ble that few votes might be cast against the bonds, but that the com munity would never find out who the Instructors were.
 pr. Chandler said that the committee appointed to have charge of the cam paign had had a most difficult and hopeless task which up to that time had been attended by no results. It was not the business of the committee to hunt up voters for the bonds but to
