NEW THING IN STREETS.

The Street Committee has con-
tracted for a carload of asphalt to
be used as an experiment in improv-
inc one of the streets. 1t will be
put on Seventh street between Main
and Virginia as soon as the rock
base is spread. The asphalt is a
black, oily sand that is taken out of
a mine near Bowling Green, KY. II
is spread on the macadam street II
inches thick and rolled. In a short
while it becomes perfectly hard and
is not only impervious to water but
makes the street free from dust, as
it has all the advantages of an oiled
street. Many cities are adopting il
on their streets and the experiment.
here will be watched with interest

FREIGHT WRECK
SUNDAY NIGHT.
An Even Dozen Empty Cars
Mixed Up and Ruined.
AN AXLE is BROKEN.
Took Hours to Clear Away
Debris and Open
Road.
AN AXLE is BROKEN.

Freight train No30., going north,
Sunday night met with costly ac-
cident about two miles south of the
city. The engineer had applied a
full force of power to gain rapid
speed before reaching the heavy
grade beginning at the bridge when
an axle on one Of the cars broke and
a dozen cars were wrecked. Fortu-
nately, the southbound afternoon
train had passed just a short time
before, though it was about an hour
and half behind schedule time.
Had this not been the case the pass
enger train would have been shut off
and passengers would have had to
be carried back via. Central City and
Russellville to reach Nashville.
AS it was, the Nashville accommo-
dalton was stopped at Pembroke
when it reached there about lilo.
1t was followed in an hour or more
by a wrecking train and the accom-
mediation passengers, fifty or sixty
in number, were permitted to board
the wreckingtrain and were carried
to the scene of the accident, where
they were transferred to another
wrecker which was on the north
side of the disabled train and
brought into the city at O'Clock in
the morning.
The through passenger train from
the south, which arrives here at 1920
at night, was stopped at Guthrie
and the passengers carried to Rus
sellville and from there to Central
City.
1t required all Sunday night and
up to 10 o'clock yesterday before the
wrecked cars could be gotten out of
the way and the road opened up for
regular trains. The accident oc-
Cured where there was a deep cut
for the road-bed and it was impossi-
BILE to track round the wreck.
No one was injured in the accident
and most, if not all of the cars, being
empty there was but little loss, ex-
cepting the smashing up of the cars
none of which were flats. The loss
on cars will be quite heavy -

NEGRO BRUTE
Attempts an Assault on Hop
kins County Girl.

Hopkins county is greatly excited
over an attempted outrage in that
county last Friday. Miss Myrtle
Fugate, aged 16, while gathering
apples in the orchard near her home
was attacked by a negro and a strug-
gle ensued in which her clothes were
torn off and her screams brought
rescuers just in time from the house.
The negro escaped and despite vigi-
liant search is still at large. If
caught, he is almost sure to be
lynched.

Hall and Living Room. !.

- u -T
The main room Of the lower floor, is,
the living room, fourteen feet by TWEEN
ty-four. The small entrance hall is
merely a recess in the living room, and
is treated in woodwork and color scheme
as part Of the larger room. Nothing
could be more effective in this house
than it's color scheme for the lower
floor suggesting the autumn tints Of
gray brown, soft olive green and richer
browns, and here and there touch of
copper, strong yellow and red.
All the woodwork Of the lower floor
is of cypress stained a gray brown, the
walls are covered with ingram paper in.
soft olive green, the frieze in dull cop
per tones tending toward orange, and
the ceiling covered with light tint Of
peach-color, subtle blending Of faint
yellow and yellowish pink into a tone
that is both and neither. =.
The floor is Of Carolina comb grain
pine, stained to a darker tone Of gray
brown than the woodwork, and Gov
cred with rugs showing hues Of warm
brown, gray, deep red and orange. The
furniture is dark brown fumed oak.
The principal structural feature of
the living room is the large fireplace at
the end farthest from the hal. Z The
mantel should be of hard burned red
brick, as the colors, instead Of carry-
ing into it the dark and varied tones.

What the Home Furniture Doctor
- y.-. - a. Nav Do. - E, . ,~I,,' s. -

Even new furniture is sometimes de-
fectlve and the housewife who knows
how to fix bureau drawers that stick.
castors that squeak, or make stiff locks
work easily, will save not only trouble
and expense, but considerable annoy
ance. Even loose round on dining
room chair, the arm Of q rocker may
be readily fitted into place and
scratches and marks on new furniture
removed by few simple, common
sense rules. %
One OF the most annoying things that
happens in the household, as every one
who has had the experience knows, is
to have bureau drawers that stick.
This happens to wood that has not
been properly seasoned and which in
damp weather swells and causes the
difficulty. Occasionally it may be
remedied by rubbing common laundry
drawer. But if this has no effect it
will be necessary to sandpaper the
sides, bottom and back, or it may be
that plane will have to be used in
order to effect complete cure.
Locks frequently are worked with
difficulty and it is hard to turn the,
keys in them when the days and nights
are damp, for the metal seems to get :.
bit rusty and makes easy action impos-
sLDlo. - remedy L1lS a Few drops OF
! kerosene oil around the tongue is usual,
| " sufficient to timber the workings of
the lock and to clear away the rust. II
the. first treatment does not have the
desired effect it should be continued
at intervals of one or two days until
the, keys turn readily in the locks. AZ
ter the oil has been dropped in and has
/ had time to settle around the spring it
/ is a good plan to turn the key, force
( the tongue up and down, and in this
way help to ease the action.
( Many women complain of castors on
beds and chairs that squeak and work
with difficulty.
This defect, according to prominent
furniture dealer, is difficult to remedy.
tho few drops Of oil will sometimes
help. Rubber rollers are less apt to be
affected this way. Should roller drop
Iout of the castings, new one had best
be purchased.
rounds on chairs are annoying
/ besides giving the pieces of furniture
/ the appearance of cheapness and gem
seral disability. They may be-. easily
made tight by filing the grooves. into
i which they are fitted with a good glue.
AS soon as this dries and the rounds
are made secure the glue that has run
down on the outside may be Clipped
4 off with knife. A loose arm to a
frocker, or the runners on rocker may
be frightened in the same way.

House Interior Like a Ship.

One Of the most originally construct
ed houses in the United States is owned
and occupied by Captain M. P. Doullut,
president of the Louisiana Navigation
& Fisheries company, New Orleans.
Captain Doullut states that he built the
house in which to end his days, and to
suit himself. NJ i:.s
He likes to feel that he is aboard a
vessel even when he is at home, and the
interior is so constructed as to suggest
this at all times. The house overlooks
the river and the captain vessels land
directly in front when they are in port.
From the cupola the captain can stand
and see the lights Of Canal street on
the right and those Of Chalmette to

had made them different from anything

it's. construction. It cost about $4,000,

The lower story is Of brick, the upper

eled after the Japanese style. The
caves and cornice are built directly
from Japanese patterns.
The house is ceiled with pressed steel
and finished as deliberately as the sa-
loon Of ship. The cupola is con
structed exactly like a pilot-house, and
has windows all around. If breeze is

Steep sloped Roof.

Interesting features abound in this
house. It is distinguished at once by
the unusually long line Of the roof,
with it's steep slope, low caves, and the
bold spring outward Of the roofline at
the Overhang. 4T5a9g%:t, 49,. 5
The little entrance porch is approach
ed by cement steps buttressed on either
side with stone like the foundation.
These, buttresses have broad copings of
cement, providing a place for the long
fower-boxes which add such a touch of
color and grace when they are overflow
ing with dropping vines and bright with
flowers. With the exception, Of the
small-paned easements, all the windows
in the house are double-hung, with
small, square panes in the upper sash.
The most attractive feature of the ex-
terror is the large porch at the side.
This is foored with cement and butt
ressed with stone, and has steps leading
into the garden, It opens from. that
portion of the living room which is used
| as dining room, and is ample in size
and partly recessed, $50 that it serves in
summer for an outdoor dining room.
