LAST HOLD OF THE MACDONELL S

At Glengarry, in the Highlands of
Scotland, there is an interesting me-
mortal of the pride of an old family.
1t is a picturesque feuda1 castle,
grandly planted on lofty rock, which
projects over deep blue lake and
keeps watch over wild landscape of
mountains and rushing streams.
This is the castle of the Macdone1ls,
formerly one of the greatest of the
Highland clans, but now fallen upon
evil days. Bonnie Prince Charlie"
slept in the castle the night after he
was defeated at Cu1loden, and Cum
berland and his redcoats battered it
into ruins few weeks later.
The head of the clan is now a poor
man, and the fine estate of his ances-
tors has passed into the hands of an
English millionaire. But, proud of his

Answers to Correspondents.

"a Reader" writes: "Will you kind
ly give me your ideas on decorating a
dining-room and sitting-room com
bined, having east and south windows
and door on the north side? The room
is I3xI3 and has thirty-four-inch
wainscoting. I shall buy either rug
or carpet"
If it is possible to show the real
grain of your wood and you desire
such finish, I would advise you to
use wood tint and dead-lac varnisll
upon it. If it has been painted there
is varnish remover which takes off
all paint and varnish and leaves the
wood bare. 1t can then be treated as
new wood.
1t you prefer you can paint your
woodwork dark brown with a dull
finish, or make it ivory white.
AS your room is so light and cheer
full, you have a wide choice in colors.
A blue and white delft design for your
side wall would look we'll with what
ever woodwork you have, the ceiling
to be white. You should have white
net curtains with over-draperies of In
dian silk at SO cents a yard, or tie soft
and more durable raw silk at $I.so.
These could match the blue of the fig
ure in the wall paper in color.
A couch or deep window seat, COW
cred in dark blue corduroy or denim,
should be placed in such a room, and
the table cover should also be of blue,
with galloon border. One easy chair
and smaller table could be added if
room permits, and there should GER

Use portieres of crimson jute velour
between your sitting-room and parlor.
AS your carpets are green, showing
dull pink, and the walls will remain
sage green, a decisive color note
seems needed. Use corduroy in the
same shade of green, or a trif1e darker,
for the cover of your box-window
seat and couch. Use pillow or cush-
ions upon these in various shades of
green and dull pink to crimson. An

There are two doors, one leading into
the hall and one into the kitchen.
The bedroom has also grained
woodwork-oak and walnut 1t has
one window, and the furniture is wal
nut. The carpet is light red Axn1in-
ster, with a spray Of flowers here and
there. What would you advise for the
windows, and what color paper for
the walls?"
Choose plain pumpkin yellow paper
for the side walls of your dining
room, and have the ceiling white. This
will aid in making your room seem
lighter Another improvement would
be to make the woodwork ivory
white. On your bed chamber walls
use clear white paper, with sprays
Of red roses at wide intervals Your
ceiling should be white. Use white
dotted muslin curtains trimmed with
ruffles up the front and caught back
on either side Of the window frame.
"Ypsilanti" says: Il have been
much interested in reading your hints
on decorating and furnishing, and
write to ask your opinion about a
room we wish to recarpet. The finish

vailing color in the wall paper. I had
thought Of getting oak 1inoleum for
the edge outside Of the rug, but don't
know how it will look with a white
base. | cannot spend much on it, and
do not wish to paint the room, but
merely to fix up the floor to harmon
ize with the rest of the room. There
is clock shelf twenty-sevcn inches
long. What would be a pretty and
inexpensive drapery for it?"
Use dark green filling for the
floor margin, and place upon it a rug
Of small figured green tan and ivory.
One in Brussels carpeting would cost
you about SIS; a cotton fibre rug in
green and white would cost about $I8
or SEQ; and an art square Of ingram
carpet could be had for $40 or $I2
A length of dull green cotton vel
vet, plain, could be laid along the
clock shelf and allowed to fall about
eight inches on each side. Shelves Of
this kind are very difficult to render
harmonious in a room. Could you not
have some book shelves built in under
it? It would look well to paint the
shelves ivory white like the wood
work.

the plaster and the pine woodwork
had been treated with a simple coat
OF forest green stain and dead finish.
The windows were draped with frilled
curtains of sheer white muslin, having
clusters Of blue .cornfower on a clear
white ground. The bed had a valanc-
ed spread of it and a home made
dressing table repeated the material
and the fri1ls.
The bed was of white iron and two
or three chairs in the room were
painted white, while the center of the
floor was covered with lined rug of
dark blue denim, which was stretched
and held taut by tacks. A brass can
dlestick stood on the little white table,
and the washbowl and pitcher were of
white porcelain with fiat gold bands.
Altogether, this cheap little room was
neat and dainty, and seemed an ideal
country bedroom.
In modern architecture the mistake
is often made of introducing an incon-
gruous mantel into a room. This fea-
ture means so much in establishing
the character of room that it should
be carefully considered Ordinarily it
is well to select the simplest design.
Many shops design and put upon the
wholesale and retail markets what are
known as ''stock mantels." These are
in all styles, sizes and shapes. Ere.

renovated, the best thing to do is to
buy one of these ready-to-use man

Wide Choice Of For
nishing Materials to
Make the Home
Look Cool IN the

or cottage, or in making the city
l. home or apartment more inviting
and "livable" during the warm
summer months, the selection of Gre
tonnes, linen taffetas, inexpensive cot
ton prints and f1owered lawns should
be a first consideration.
A wide choice of these charming
materials is offered this season. Field
flowers, quaint, old-fashioned bios
SONS and rich roses and orchids all
find a place in their color and decora-
ton
In the bedroom, of which picture
is given, formal design of roses and
tulips, with a bit of blue ribbon and
good deal of green, is shown on the
ecru ground of the linen taffeta. 1t
shows what excellent effects may be
obtained by using the same material
for window draperies and chair cover
ings.
Linen taffeta sells from $1.75 to
$3.50 a yard, and is fifty inches wide.
This season white backgrounds are
offered in this material, which is a de-
parture from former styles. A yell
low hollyhock in several shades, set
in clusters of their green leaves, is an
attractive pattern.
In room where eggshe1 white en-
amel is used upon the woodwork and
this yellow hollyhock taffeta is en-
ployed for draperies, and a wing chair
covered in it, the walls should be pa
pered to the picture rail with soft
shade of yellow cartridge paper, while
the ceiling should be covered to the
rail with paper showing single ho1-
lyhocks of the same yellow on white
ground.
If the old-fashioned glazed or wax
ed chintz, which is having a revival
just now, is used, a good method of
treating the woodwork is to select
some shade shown in the chintz and
have the woodwork finished with en-
ame1 matching it. The effect is ar
tistic, particularly when the walls have
a dull surface of rough plaster given
water color wash or of fibre or car
fridge paper.
In cases where the walls were in
white or gray plaster, uncolored in
any way, [ have seen dainty bedrooms
evolved chiefly by the use of pretty
fowered muslins. One room of this
kind especially impressed me.

complaint of two private detectives,
who claimed to hail from Iowa, by
the name Van Vert and Peabody,
for selling them liquor, pleaded not
guilty and stood trial in the record
er's court this morning. The drug.
gist admitted selling them bottle
of whiskey, but maintained that
they obtained it on plea that they
were going on an. outing trip and
wanted to take it along for medical
use. Bath prosecuting witnesses tes-
titled that the whiskey was sold them
without qualification. The jury,
however, evidently preferred to be-

a verdict of acquittal.

Two Horses Killed After

Shots - Bandits
~ Retire.

Johnston, Pa, June 2o.-A des.
perate attempt was made by four
masked men to rob Superintendent
VIII. c. Ramsey, and Secretary
Frank Howard. of the Johnstown
Water Company of about $4,000
in cash, which they were convey.
ing to the new Dalton Run dam
near this city, to pay off the 400
men employed there. The two men
made a run for it and escaped, but
not until two horses had been kill
ed and about twenty-five shots had
been exchanged.
Mr.. Ramsey and Mr.. Howard
started from this city in the early
afternoon, and had reached a wood
ed stretch Of the highway which af-
fords an excellent opportunity foI
a holdup. Both men were heavily
armed and were driving in a bog.
gy with the money in a satchel at
their feet. Close behind them, on
horseback, rode Chester Miltenber-
ger, an employee. who has been in
,he habit Of riding down from the
dam to meet and protect the pay
masters. Across his knees Milten-
berger carried a loaded Winchester
rifle. -
The first intimationr the party
had that there was trouble ahead
was fusillade of shots from the
deep woods and the totteripg and
sudden twitching of the horse which
was drawing the buggy. An in
slant later the horse that Milten.
berger was riding was shot from
under him.
= The paying party drew their
weapons and directed their fire
toward the woods, where as yet they
had been unable to see their assail.
ants. The horse that Ramsey and
Howard were driving staggered on,
and just as it became evident that
he must go down Howard grabbed
the valise and jumped from the
buggy and started to run. Ram
sey also left the vehicle, but he
and Milten berger retreated slowly,
exchanging shots with the men IN
the woods. A bullet grazed Ram.
sey's forehead and inflicted slight
wound. Otherwise the men escap.
ed unipjured.
While walking backward Ram.
sey and Miltenberger got sight oi
the highwaymen, but could not de-
scribe them accurately.
With the bandits in the woods
and the two man in the road still
firing at them, the party traversed
a considerable distance, but How.
ard had run ahead with the money
and when the highwaymen sav
that their loot was beyend theil
reach they abandoned the chase
Local police went to the scene tt
find only the two horses lying deaG
in the road. The people in the vi
cinity of where the attempted hold
up took place have taken up th'
search, and tonight a hundred arm
ed men are securing the countr,
for the highwaymen.
