fashion a large center piece. and make
the smaller ones to match. Instead of
button-holing the edges, trim them
with a heavy Cluny lace and see how
pleased she viii be. I think this holds
especially good since table cloths have
been relegated to the chests for
luncheon and after-theater suppers, for
the lace shows UP on the polished table
as it does on nothing else.
The plain bits of linen are nearly

by any manner of means. and the
woman who doesn't sew a single
stitch can mark every piece Of linen

You have asked me a very difficult

quired TO write letters. attend to the
luggage when travelling, attend to the
hotel bills and make yourself generally
useful. Your salary would all depend
Now and then one hears of a compan-

Yes, you may please yourself about
dress unless Ii is otherwise specified,

should dress as well as the lady her

you may be attractive, but try to dress

killed outright by these methods OF
feeding the foundation for years OF in
validism is likely to be laid. Have reg
ular hours for feeding and never de-
viate from them unless the child is
asleep. Pure milk should constitute
the main part of the diet for a year-old
child. together with plenty of graham
bread. Carefully toasted white bread,
boiled rice, poached eggs, chicken and
mutton broth with all fat re-
moved and well cooked cereals
served without sugar will fur

SOAP TOOTH POWDERS (Aary).--
You are quite correct in believing a
soapy tooth wash superior to the ordi-
nary sorts; it is very cleansing, an es-
sential quality, and the distasteful
soapiness may be overcome by an ad-
mixture of orris root, which also I'M
parts a delicate fragrance to the
breath. 1t is more economical to buy
the ingredients IN bulk and mix them
at home than to buy prepared article.
Buy cake of pure white CASTLE soap
and shave OF two ounces of 1t, which
reduce to fine powder. In place of
mortar for powdering the soap. use
heavy wooden vegetable masher and an
earthenware bowl. Mix with the pow
dered soap two ounces of Fiorentine
orris root and one-half pound cf pre-
cipitated chalk. Pass the mixture
through a fine sieve several times to
thoroughly blend the ingredients, then
put away in a dry place, preferably in

PLEAS ARE
NOT VALID
ATTORNEY GENERAL MOODY
DENIES PACKERS
ALLEGATIONS

Washington, D. G., Nov. 17-Em-
phatic denial Of every allegation made
by the indicted packers in their pleas
in bar based upon the Investigation of
James r. Garfield, commissioner Of
corporations, will form an important
part of the answer which will be filed
by the government in the court at
Chicago early next week. Attorney
General Moody has just given out a
statement which, as he said, will give
the public that accurate information
to which It was entitled.
He declared that none of the eight
pleas was Of sufficient force to ball1
the government in its determination
to prosecute the beef men now under
indictment. Ten pleas have been
filed, eight Of them being based upon
the alleged conduct of Mr.. Garfield.
After reciting the resolution under
which the commissioners made, his In
vestigation and the substance Of the
pleas to which he refers, the attorney
general enters into his wholesale de-
nial. F ..s
It il denied, as charged III another
plea. that the government cb.ained
any papers of the defendants for use
before the grand jury otherwise than
| by the orderly n,ocess of subpoena
1t is also denied that the Injunction
proceedings against the so-called
"beef trust" constitute any bar to
criminal prosecution. 1t is added that
the answer already prepared by Mr.
Pagin under the direction of the At.
torney general raises mixed issue
of law and fact.

MARSHALLTOWN EDITOR IS
A SUICIDE; WAS DESPONDENT

Marshalltown, Nov. IA, profound
sensation was caused here last evening
by the suicide of S. P. Ayers, editor of
the Marshalltown Herald, a prominent
citizen and man well known through
out the state.
The body was discovered in an
outhouse at his home by a son of the
dead man. A revolver at his side and
bullet wound in the head, told the
cause of DEATH In his desk the follow
ing note was found, explaining the rea-
son for his act:
II have suffered on and on since |
was hurt, hoping to fully recover, but
see no hope now, as paralysis, and
perhaps loss of reason is threatened.
If cannot be help, cannot be a
burden"
About year ago, Ayers was at
tackled by burglars as he was passing
q dark alley in this city. He grappled
with his assailants and was shot in the
back of the head. The bullet made ap.
parently only slight wound, and doc.
tors said it was not serious. Ayers

tinuing he said:
"Evangelists make much use OF
songs intended to reach the emotions;
either songs which recall memories OF
mother and childhood or those that
hold up the hope Of meeting friends
who have passed over to the other
side of Jordan, such as Well Meet on
That Beautiful Shore When the Roll
is Called Up Yonder, I'll Be There,
and other hymns appertaining to the
evergreen shore and a good time. All
this has nothing to do with the con
version of sinners. There should be

FAVORITE SONG
IS DENOUNCED BY PRE.A CHER

Chicago, Nov. II. Lead, Kindly
Light" the hymn which has soothed
the dying agony of countless numbers
and which was the best loved song of
President Mckinley, yesterday was
declared to be unfit for the praise and
worship of God. This declaration was
made by Rev W. A. Patterson of
Princeton, Ind, who made the open
ing address of the day at the United
Presbyterian Psalmody convention.
Rev. Mr.. Patterson spoke on "The
Psalms and Evangelistic Work. He
criticised the song only when used as
La church hymn in the worshipping of
God and offered as a substitute the
forty-third psalm. He said: "The song
Lead Kindly Light may mean any
thing that any man chooses to make
1t mean, be he Christian, Pantheist or
Buddhist"

The tragic death by suicide of the
editor of the Herald Of this city last
evening recalls the fact that another

the Herald is now located, came to

started daily paper called the Press.
Later he consolidated 1t with the old

failure financially and Beverly. after
sinking fortune estimated at $40. 900,
gave up the attempt and killed himself
in his Office.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 17.-As the
time for the meeting Of congress ap-
proaches it becomes more and more
evident that railway men are prepar-
ing to compromise.
The wiser presidents OF great rail-
road corporations have been forced to
take notice of the fact that the Presi-
dent has behind him the support of
practically the whole people. Public
sentiment in favor Of railway rate
regulations has become stronger in
stead of weaker during the vacation
of congress.
Men like President Mellen OF the
New York, New Haven and Hartford,
President Cassstt, Of the Pennsylva-
MIA, and President Baer Of the Read
ing have come to the conclusion that
1t will he Impossible to prevent the
passage Of law providing for the
regulation of railroad rates by a gov
ernment commission, as urged by
President Roosevelt. These railroad
magnates, and others, have accord
ingly begun to frame a compromise
bill, which, after all, is largely along
the line taken by President Roosevelt,
but which aims most particularly to
strengthen and dignity the commits
sion.
Want Rate Commission.
The railroad proposition is that a
railroad rate commission shall be
created composed Of about nine mem
bers, who shall each be given salary
of 81 900 a month, and who shall be
professional railroad experts or law
yers. In this way it Is hoped to I'M
prove the personnel OF the commits
sion to such an extent that Its deci-
sions can safely be followed by the
railroads themselves.
Compromise Is Practical Surrender.
In addition to this the railroads
compromise embodies proposition
that any decision Of the commission
shall be subject to q writ OF injunc-
ton issued by any competent court
Of federal jurisdiction. This is mere
ly putting into words what would be
the case anyway, because under the
original rate bill passed last winter
the interstate commerce commission
could be enjoined from enforcing the
rate. The right of injunction is not
being impaired in any way.
The so-called compromise by the
railroads so far as it has been out
lined is practically surrender. II
gives color to the report, which has
been current for some months, that
the railroads were so much in fear
Of prosecution, under the antitrust
law, for their combinations between
competing lines that they were willing
/ to accept a rate regulation law to es
cape something worse.
Government Ownership Feared.
Fear Of radical public sentiment In
the direction of government owner
ship of railroads is said to be an
other reason for this manifest change

suit against her husband for separate

sought a reconciliation she was told
not to enter the house again. A de.
