new. and you have no idea what a
smart touch it gives an old coat put
over collar. cuffs or set in a double
breasted tailor vest.
1t comes in all the dull vegetable
dyes. in hunting green, golf red,
mahogany. bluet blue, navy blue and
every conceivable shade of brown, light
and dark. Sometimes it is en-
broidered with outline work in gold
thread or silk.
The embrOideries most in vogue for
| fur trimmings are straps from old
Chinese silk petticoats, to be found
in any Chinese shop, bands from
! Persian towels. strips Of Russian or
Hungarian peasant work and all the
rich Turkish. India and Japanese hand
embroideries The colors are selected

lining as closely as possible. 1t would
be very easy for Il clever girl to lmi-
tate Russian or Japanese embroidery
and make her own trimming just to
match her coat.
There is one bit Of good fortune in
this seasons furS. they are fashionable
all lengths, and both loose and tight
fitting. You are in the style whether
your coat is REFER, blouse or basque,
and your sleeves may have fulness at
the shoulder, or trifle at the elbow,
and the stole effect Of last winter IS
quite gone out.
Nearly all coats. plain rs we'll rs
fancy, have light Innings this season,
satin-brocade, damasse and broche
silk and plain light twilled taffeta. AS
this was somewhat the vogue in 10O3-4,
many women will unpack their furs
with 4 sense Of dismay over the soi.ed
conditions OF their pretty coat Innings.
But there is no need to worry, for L
soiled lining that is still in good con-
dition otherwise can be made as good
as new by the right sort Of home clean
ing.
Lifings for fur coats are fitted in
after the coat is quite finished and
may be removed without any ripping

Use always a seamless pattern: place

In piecing, make sure that the nap OF

open to all who are willing to take it as it

This knowledge OF Christ can be Known
but partially through reading Of the skies

through these come to & knowledge of Gcd.
But such study is too easy school for

For success III any pursuit OF truth taerc

For it there is needed a desire which

LEAP YEAR El|G|BLES.
Directory Of Real Good Things
Waiting 10 Be Taken.

The year 1904 is u leap year.
Everyone knows the reason which
makes the particular period of
time known lis the leap year SO
facinating to the feminine world.
During 1904 it will be proper for
the young lady whose heart has
been unwittingly lost,to some nice
young man, to suggest that the
young man become her beloved
ronsort. Undoubtedly MANY Of
the young ladies' have their eyes
and hearts fixed upon some GER
tain gentleman. But there are so
many modest, unassuming, gentle
men only waiting for the word to
fly like a dove to its resting place,
that we deem it only fair to re-
veal to the admiring popluace
some of the traits which entit'e
these gentlemen to the considera-
ton and alteration of women kind.
Therefore we shall publish sort
of dictory Of admirable characters,
knwing we perform a service to
the world. Ladies are requested
to secure scrap books and preserve
these biographical sketches for
future referenre.

ENGLAND TIED UP BY FOG.
Dismal Pail Spreads Over the Greater
Part Of Kingdom Causing Great
Damage to Business.

London, Dec. 23.-Such q complete
disorganization of railroad traffic and
shipping as has resulted from the fog
has been unknown for many years. A
dismal pail spread over the greater part
of the kingdom, causing enormous bust
ness losses and threatening to deprive
thousands of their Christmas parcels.
Statisticians estimate that the losses in
q single day of such a fog in London
alone amount to fully 100000. Rail-
way traffic. both for long and short dis
tances, was almost paralyzed. A condi-
ton resembling chaos prevailed in the
postal service. Only two vessels entered
the port Of London Wednesday, condi-
ton of affairs such as has not occurred
for 20 years. The mouth Of the river
was crammed with vessels loaded with
perishable foodstuffs OF all descriptions.
The streets Of Londonpresented remark
able scenes. Nothing was visible except
linkboyss torches and. the occasional
flareof the big creosote lights whichthe
authorities employ u assist trafac.
Nearly everybody suffered from head
ache, which the doctors attributed tothe
fog. 80

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 22.-Omcials of
many industrial concerns in and about
Pittsburg are searching for men whom
they wish to put to work in their plants.
The bright prospects for an increased
amount of business after the first of next
year are responsible for this move and
thousands of unemployed in the city
and suburban towns will be given steady
work after January /. For the month of
December business in FVttsburg has in
creased materially in almost every line,
improvementshave been made in nearly
every industrial concern in the city dur:
ing the last few months. and the inn:
provements have not all been COM
pleted. The starting up Of many new
works will also give employment to
thousands of idle men. !.

Wilkinson passed sentence on the Lin
coin Z. county whitecappers Tuesday,
sending one man to prison for life, five
others were given so years each, and
another Is years. ether offenders were
given lighter punishment. Those con-
victed are members Of the Farmers
league. This action is the most drastic
ever applied in this section in the pun
ishment Of race rioters, and has created
CONSERVATION among the whites accused
Of harassing negroes. Judge Wilkinson
says he proposes to put an end to the
reign Of terror in this state.
The Farmers league" some months
ago inaugurated reign of terror
throughout the county. Negro homes
were burned, many were shot into from
the darkness, many negroes were killed
or wounded or whipped. Notices were
posted in many places throughout the
county warning the negroes to leave.
Judge Wilkinson ordered a grand jury
to take up the case, and as q result the
grand jury at the present term Of court
returned 62 true bills Of Indictment.
Seven Of these were for murder, 81 for
other felonies and the rest for. various
other forms of misdemeanor. Three
hundred men were accused Of conspir-
acy.

There are two developments Of the
ocean passenger traffic. both steerage
and saloon. which have not attracted
much attention heretofore, and yet
which are getting to be important fea.
lures in the business. The first is
the increasing number Of citizens Of

come over to visit their. native land
and stay for. season and then re.
turn. This has. always been the Gus
tom Of the Scandinavian peoples, but Il

TERRIBLE DISASTER.
Seven Men Are suftocated by Smoke
and Heat in Clay
Mine.

Bolivar, Pa, Dec. 23.-Seven men were
suffocated Thursday in the No. 2 soft
clay mine of the Reese Hammond Fire
Brick company, near here. The cause
of the disaster was most peculiar. A
small building, about 16 by 20, burned
down at the mouth of the mine. The
air shaft from the workings to the sur
face, some distance in the mine, acted
as q sort Of flue and drew into the drift
the heat and smoke from the fire, thus
suffocating the men, whose escape was
shut of by the fire at the opening.
