attached to the regulation pole by means
of rings and pins, or they may be made
with 4 hem through which the pole is
drawn If this method is used the hem
must be made of only sufficient width
to permit of encasing the pole. so that
when the curtains are pushed back from
the center the gathers will be fine and
regular. A heading may be left above
the hem If liked. Where a single curtain
is used at a narrow door or window, a
very pretty idea is to throw the curtain
over d pole and drape the top, .'tacking"
1t in place with a needle and stout
thread.
For bedroom windows, thin strong
poles of brass are now very much used.
They are prettier than the thick wooden
poles and really stronger. Madras cur
tains can be washed, but care must be
used that they do not fade either dur
ing that process or in the drying. White
soap is the best for the purpose, and it
should not be rubbed on the curtain. A
warm suds should be made and the cur
tains plunged therein and tossed about
until the dirt and dust have been elimi-
mated. Another bath of warm suds
should be in waiting in the next tub to
receive them after the first water has
done it's work. Last of all they should
be rinsed in clear, tepid water and hung
to dry in shady place. If the washing
Is done in an apartment they should be
put out on. the line during the hours

When seven eighths dry they must be

DID NOT
DISCUSS PROTECTION
No Action Taken at the
Meeting Held in Har-
risburg

Harrisburg. Pa, July 2s.-The Trl-state
League magnates who met here last
night, failed to take action on the propo-
sition to enter the National Association,
as was expected.
Members of the league assert that the
.Tri-state League is not after protection,
and does not need IT,
President Creamer said there was Moth
ing in tho report that the league was
seeking national protection,
THE Tri-State League" added Cream
er, has no idea of taking up the ques-
ton OF national protection at ALL The
league is perfectly satisfied with the de-
tision Of the Dauphln County Court, and
feels that 1t Is on sure ground.
1.-THE stories from Altoona TO the effect
that we need protection are all nonsense.
and did not emanate from any authorita-
tive source.
''As a matter Of fact, no overtures have
been made on either side. and you may
say as strong as you can. that the story
of hunting for protection is absolutely
haseless.
I'VE are perfectly satisfied" he con-
cluded, with the result OF the season SO
far and do not see the wisdom nt this
time OF asking for league protection. for
we do not need IT,"
Despite President Creamers confident
assertion, however interviews with Of
hcials of the clubs in the various towns
give reason for believing that the matter
is being considered. even though unof-
ncially.
Another meeting viii be held next weok.
at which this matter viii probably be
fully gone over
The question of reducing number of
umpires from five TO four was considered
and final consideration was postponed UNI
I'll all of the clubs can get together and
decide.
The matter OF club bonds, given 20 guar
antee to finish the season, was taken up
and it developed that the league was fully
protected.

Glenwood Springs, Colo, April "a.
In spite Of the fact that Secretary
Loeb rode twenty-five miles from the
presidents camp yesterday he spent
several hours in the saddle today af-
ter disposing of an unusually heavy
mail. He is preparing himself so that
he can make the next trip with great
er ease. A large bundle of newspap-
ers was sent to the camp by Elmer
Chapman, the courier. Many of the
papers contained fake stories of the
presidents hunt. The members Of
the hunting party were greatly dis
pleased when they learned Of the char
acter of some of the stories printed
by several papers having correspond
ents at Newcastle. The correspond
ents located there have no facilities
for getting news and they are entire.

that an amicable adjustment of the

No news has been received here OF

The officers and men of the Rus
sian fleet have expressed themselves
as confident of their ability to meet

ARE BUYING MANY TRANSPORTS.
Are particular What Is Bought and
Are Securing Vessels From 5000
to 5000 Tons-SmalI Ships Bought
For Their Own Convenience.

San Francisco, April %. = "Th'
! war in the Orient will last another
two years, was the statement made
today by Captain e. H. Jackson, who
arrived here today on the Korea ant
who says that he is fastening to Lon
don to send out vessel which has
been purchased by the Japanese fol
transport service.
Captain Jackson added: 1.-THE
Japanese are making preparations for
an indefinite term of fighting, and
this can be best understood by the
way they are buying up steamers
They have purchased several hun
dred during the past few months and
when left Kobe they had taken over
twelve vessels during the fourteen
days previous to my departure.
They are particular as to what
they buy and only want vessels from
5000 to 6,OO0 tons. They have to get
small ships so that they can run into
any of their ports and are easily navi-
gable in the inland sea. This will be
the third vessel that | have sent out
to them.
g London is the great market for
steamers, and though they have pur-
chased some old boats they have Sc
cured some exceedingly good ones.
Spot cash is paid for all the YES
sells, and the neutrality laws are care
fully observed. A private firm gives
an order for the building of boat
and when the time of delivery comes
the firm which gave the order has not
the money to pay for the vessel and
a chance buyer comes along. That's
the way.
