BAD WATER
SPO|LS ENGINES

The greatest drawback TO operation
which the mechanical department Of
the FL Paso. Northeastern has 70 eaa
tend with is the fact that much q he
motive power is in bad shape and a
large per centage of the engines viii
have to be given a general o%Yehsnl
ing before they will be III first class
condition again, says the Fl paso Ter
aid. Four of the new engines seent-
;y ordered from the cast nave arrived
IN Alamogordo, and will be placed n
service at once. which Will enable tie
company to send in some of the en-.
zines now in use for a general over
hauling The installation of the new
water purifying processes whicG We're
recently put in at various points along
the line where the supply was poor
is also helping matters a great deal.
Some time ago the company took up
the adyisability Of splitting the diyis-
ion between Alamogordo and Santa
Raso and making two divisions out Of
the run. This division as II now
stands is 1876 miles in length 4 II
split in two would make a division
from Gallinas to Santa Rosa 100 miles.
and a division between Gallinas and
Alamogordo, 90 miles, two very nice
distances. 1t was shown by the engl-
neers that a large per cent Of the en-.
gine failures happened after the en-.
gines had passed Gallinas, and It was
thought that if the division was split
at that point many of these failures
would be done away with.
In view of the fact that the contract
the company has with the engineers
and trainmen calls for one hundred
miles as the minimum run when on
the road, it was thought the loss o.
O miles on each run between Ala
mogordo and Gallinas would proyt
too much of an expense, however. E
warrant splitting the runs and thu
matter is still in allegiance.

OSTRICH FEATHER TRIMMING
Some Suggestions Regarding Its Ar
rangement for the Home
Milliuer.

The ostrich feather does not Wane In
popularity. On the contrary, there are
more ostrich feathers worn this season
than ever before and they are arranged
with more variety Of effect. One can
do more with feathers than In previous
seasons, for they are heavier and they
are more pliabie. Feathers that were
once brittle and stiff are now charming
ly pllabie and well fdapted to the pur-
poses OF trimming, says the Brooklyn
Eagle,
A nest Of feathers il one OF the new
ways Of using ostrich tips. Let the hat
be any shape, but preferably one of those
shapes with a wide brim that turns up
sharply at one side, the taller the bet
ter.
Take the feathers, which must be five
in number, and have them all the same
length. One, however, is longer than
the rest, but the remainder are all of a
length. Fagten the feathers together.
Pull them out in the form Of a feather
nest, And when spread out well sew
/ ti1tbh w JbF tiVHb VI NV nut NDW pun
them out over the brim, lacking them
here and there, SO that they will not
blow away.
The great trouble for an amateur In ar
ranging ostrich feathers upon a hat Ia
that they are not fastened properly to
the hat. The home milllner will take
a stitch here and there and call the hat
trimmed. But the m%illiner sews the
feathers fast TO the hat, cunningly ar
ranging the stitches so hat they do
not show, yet securing the feathers be-
yond all fear Of blowing away.
And there IL another trimming. II Is
called the twin feather trimming. II Ia
one Of the novelties Of the summer For
this Is needed a ready~to-wear hat or q
hat Of fancy straw, which needs no other
trimming than a feather. This hat.
which should be jauntily shaped, Is large
and the brim Curls upward In a sweeping
manner, while one side rises splendidly
In O great curve.
Now, to trim the hat, take two feath-
ers Of exactly the same length, which
should be about half q yard long, anil
sew them to the hat, In precisely the
same spot. Then take and drape the
feathers In such a manner that one
falls down the back Of the hat upon the
couture and the other Is pulled down
at the side so as to touch Ue ear and
the neck.
The popularity OF the %uncurled feather
Is a boon to the summer Woman who has
hitherto had trouble In keeping herselr
curled. No matter how straight the
feather may be this season it will not
be out Of style, for Dame Fashion is
wearing hers uncurled as well as curled.

GOVERNOR OF FINLAND SHOT
General RObrikOR MOrtaIIy wounded
at Entrance of senate at
HeIsingfors.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 16-6:16 p. m.-
General Bobrikoff, governor general Of
Finland. was shot and mortally wounded
at IL o'clock this morning at the entrance
to the Finnish senate at Helsingford.
The assassin, a man named Schaumann
son of Senator Schaumann. Immediately
committed suicide. Robrekoff was shot in
the stomach and neck. He is being brought
to St. Petersburg in dying condition. The
attack is ascribed TO Finnish patriotism
Schaumann is believed to be a member Of
what is known as me Finnish Patriotic
party.
A private message from Helsingfors says
Governor Bobrtkoff was taken to a hospital
at HelsinEfors. Schaumann was lawyer
by profession.
General Count Bobrikoff, who was ap-
pointed governor general of Finland in
1899 made himself very unpopular by his
severe measures against the press of Fin
land and the stern manner in which he
followed out the policy of Russia towards
the Firms This led to serious rioting at
Helsingfors in 1909. which was suppressed
by Cossacks. The last recorded act of
General Bobrtkoff was in March of this
year, when he issued a proclamation for
bidding the people to darken their windows
at unusual hours" People who chose
to go to bed before 10 O'Clock at night were
subject to heavy fines. This step was due
to the neglect of the Firms to illuminate
their houses in honor of the beginning OF
the war with Japan.
