a Beautiful Room,

One of the first things to be consid.
cred in the work of beautifying a
room, whether it is the dining, family,
the bedroom or parlor, is the selec-
ton of the draperies. In these days
when draperies arc made in such
tasty and varied designs, and are
really so cheap, it ouslt not to be
much trouble to make very charm
ing effect with draperies Very lovely
summer draperies are made Of sheer
material They give to the room an
air of coolness. They should be ar
ranged to hang in natural simple lines
Much of the effect depends upon the
hanging of this or any other drapery.
If looped it should be done daintily,
with satin ribbon to harmonize, or
with cotton cord. The bows should
be full and so arranged as to be seen
from the outside Of the louise The
cords and tassels are easily made at
home by twisting together several
strands of heavy cotton.
Another very pretty ufapefy is DoD'
met, having full frill on the front
and lower edges. This style of drap-
cry looks best when hung from a
small brass rod. and caught on each
side with long cord Another dainty
curtain, aud one more stylish than
either o. the others is made of white
swiss, with insertions of lace. 1t is
very pretty with ruffle finish. To
give the drapery a richer effect, cur
tains Of blue and white Japanese cot
ton crepe may be used. These crepe
curtains should be pushed back close
to the ends of the pole, and permitted
to fall in straight lines. Even with
old and we'll worn furniture really
dainty look can be given to room by
pretty draperies.

THREE ARE KILLED
A Sad Railway Accident Occurs At
Charlotte, NC.
SWITCH ENGINE HITS A FREIGHT
Capt. Wise, swltchman Waiter zels.
Ter. and a Negro Coupler Named
Jack ecodaIl, Were the Victims.

Charlotte. N. G., Special-Three
men, were killed Wednesday night
about 10 o'clock at the water tank
near the Southern Railway crossing
at Vance street, in the southeast part
of the city, by the crashing of switch
engine into the rear of freight train
No. 7s, south bound. Conductor Wise.
whose home was In Columbia. S. c.;
Walter zeigler, a young white man EN-.
ployed as switchnan and a negro.
named Jack Goedall. coupler, were
the men who met death. The negro
died almost instantly, his legs being
virtually severed from his body. Capt,
Wise lived but a few minutes after he
was taken to the Presbyterian Eospi:
tai, and young zeigler expired about
an hour later there. No one else re-
ceived any injuries.
The freight is always heavy train
and it consisted of about fifteen cars.
AS is generally the case, the freight,
upon leaving the Southern yards short,
ly before 10 o'clock, gets up some head
way of its own power, and then is
pushed out Of. the city with the assis'
lance of the switch engine. This was
done. The long line of cars attached
to No. 73 had gained some momen'
tum when it neared the water tank,
and the switch engine. with the three
men standing on the RUNNING board, it
was said, came after it, expecting, OF
course, to make it's connection with
the rear OF the caboose with ease. But
something went wrong. Tfaihmen
said that the draw-head Of the heavy
freight engine blew out, and sulleniy
all the brakes became set and the lons
train virtually came to a standstlii'
with the swithch engine bearing down
only a short distance away. There
was not even time for the three mes
to jump to safety.
The switch engine crashed into the
caboose, crumpled and buckled it and
crushed the men on the running board,
AS soon as possible, an ambulance was
sent from the Presbyterian Hospital
First, Capt. Wise was taken away, and
he managed to live just about to get
there. Before he was taken away, by.
ISLANDERS heard him say: "Now III quit
the road for good. All my men have
got killed" His injuries were inter-
nal and he probably had no idea that
he was hurt so seriously-that he was
soon to 'quit the road" for good, and

Killed His Son.in.Iaw.

Dawson, Ga, special.-Jesse Wall
shot and killed Hill Oxford, his son:in-
law, Wednesday night in Oyford's
yard. The coroner's jury decide. that
the killing was unjustifable and Vail
was brought to Dawson in custody OF
the sheriff. Wallis statement at the IN
quest was to the effect that he was re
primanding Oxford for neglecting his
wife, when Oxford cursed him and ad-
vanced with an open knife, and that he
fired to save his own life. A knife was
found by Oxford's side. unopened, and
this, with the fact that he was shot in
the back and testimony of eye-wit-
nesses, led to the verdict rendered. Both
parties were well-known white men of
Terrell county.

Recipes.

Apple Cream-Take the pulp OF
twelve large baked apples, add the
grated rind and strained juice of one
lemon. Sweeten to taste. When cold
add half pint of whipped cream, and
beat all we'll together. Serve with
sponge fingers round the dish.
\ Quickly Prepared Pudding
Crumble a sponge cake in glass
dish, and over it pour some pineapple
Tor otherl jelly which has nearly set
When quite firm nice custard is
then poured over, and q little desic.
Gated cocoanut sprinkled on the top
Salmon Salad-Take a tin of the
best potted salmon, two hard-boiled
eggs, couple OF picked gherlsins
and one nice sized onion. Chop all
these very fine, then add a little salt
and pepper, and mix with vinegar.
This is prepared very quickly, and is
nice supper salad.
For Plum Pudding-After putting
the mixture in the moulds, make a
paste of flour and water, roll out to
about quarter of an inch thick, and
cover over the top OF each one before
putting on the cloth. This prevents
any OF the goodness boiling out. Re-
move paste before sending to table.
After boiling if the puddings are left
in an ordinarily warm place for three
or four days to thoroughly dry, they
will keep six or even twelve months.
Butter Cookies-Cream together
one cup of butter and one cup and a
half Of light brown sugar; then add
one teaspoon Of vanilla and one we'll
beaten egg. Slowly stir in two cups of
flour. Mold lightly with the hand.
Take out small portion Of the dough
each time: roll as thin as silver
dollar; cut the cookies with cutter
no larger than the dollar. Bake in a
moderate oven until a golden brown.
This will make one pound and quar-.
ter Of rich. crisp cookies.
