embroidery with silk in darker shades
of pink; the inner petals are edged
with cording and satin-stitch. the
outer with buttonhole stitch; the cen.
ter is painted green, with surround
ing knot stitches worked with yellow
silk, the lines being, long stitches OF
pale green. The leaves and buds are
painted green, and are outlined with
cording-stitch worked with darker
green silk; in painting the leaves and
stalks, several tints of green, with
just a little brown for the stalks,
should be used, as the effect obtained
by them would be immensely superior
to only one uniform tone of green.
When the work is finished the super
fluous ma terial beyond the buttonhole
edge must be cut away with pair OF
small, sharp scissors, taking great
care not to cut the stitches.

The Nav of Prettiness.

Wrappers of cashmere or French
flannel. lined with china silk and en-
broidered in color matching the lin
ing, are as popular as ever, but al
batross in white over color is pre-
ferred to the cashmere and flannel,
though it is not SO warm. The loose
texture of the albatross allows a
CLEAN of the lining color to show
through, and the effect, especially in
pink and white, is delightful. Feather
stitching or herring boning finishes
the hens, or perhaps all the edges are
scalloped and buttonholed in color.

President Ford, Commissioner Mel

relative to the application OF the Della

The representatives Of the Water De

considered that such action would be
an unwise precedent and also detfi-
ment to the city and It's people, as
there would be less Of revenue 20 the
cit, amounting TO between sli, 600 and
sl5,OOO a year, as the company uses
about Ito of the city water. Mr.
Leisen said the city had spent abnut
S8, 600 10 get water to the Iodd'a Gut

should be granted there woulc be
nothing to prevent the combination OF

INTERESTING FACTS.
Remarks by an Observer.


1T seem strange 70 me, " remarked a
prominent physician the other day. "why
so many people make light of what is, in
many respects, one of the most dangerous
dlseases-Grip. Scores of people whom
know seem TO regard this deudly malady as
joke OF call Il fashionable.
Possibly there is no disease that Is as
TAR reaching In ils effects as this same
fashionable Grip Fashionabla indeed !
When ] stop TO think of the appalling re-
suits of Grip that have come under my
observation, 1t makes me shudder. Would
you consider II fashionable to have a
weak heart, affected lungs or impaired eve
sight Would il te a joke to sIiend the
remainder of your days in an insane
asylum These are not more fancieE; they
are pictures drawn from life, showing The
awful results from Grip. OF course all
persons suffering from an attack OF Grip
are not left with these Affections, but 1
have yet to discover a person who has had
this disease who has not been left with
some portion of his system weakened. Il
is this weak spot that Is susceptible TO
every unhealthy influence that comes along
i he best way TO prevent Grip Is to keep the
system in such good condition that it will
throw of any tendencies toward this preva-
lent disease
The best way to Ifortlfy yourself against
Grin Is 10 take Magee's Malt Emulsion
Il gives you the strength and vitality neces-
sary to stand severe weather, and can
always be depended upon. Il IL nutrient
of the highest value, and after period of
low vitality It puts hope into the patient
and makes life worth living. Il replaces
| the wasted tissues and holds all gains.
Magee's Malt Emulsion Is a pure cod
| liver oil, combined with syrup Diastssic
non-alcoholic Malt and Hypophosphites OF
| Lime and Soda. Goa Liver Oil has long
been recognized by the medical profession
] as the best remedy for Bronchial and
/ Pulmonary affections and In Magee's you
/ get the pure article IN combination with
the Malt and hypophosphites. Diastasic
Malt Extract, such as Is used in MaRee's
Melt Emulsion, Is non.Rlcoholic and il
regarded By physicians as the highest
form Of food. You thus get a food a
| medicine and tonic combined. Magee's
| emulsion is the greatest flesh bnilder an0
| invigorator known. Il strengthens the veal
and imparts vitality 10 the most delicate
/ invalid. Don't delay-it's dangerous; star
taking Il today.
Beware of the wine preparations. They
| are only artificial stimulanta and the re-
action which followstheir use leaves you II
a worse condition than before. There i
only one Magee's Malt Emulsion and I
contains no whisky-no wine-iust food.

The boys of the St. Petersburg gym
nasium struck, today. in order TO compel
the Offering up of prayers in school for
the repose of the soul of the lieutenant.
The Russ prints a detailed account of
the execution, from which it appears that
when Schmidt received the news that the
authorities had refused TO commute the
death penalty, he wept for the three
sailors his companions, saying they were
so young and honest and he would prefer
to die alone
The condemned men were taken TO
the small deserted island of Borizan and
were shot at SUNRISE. Schmidt addressed
his eXecutioners, 60 sailors of the cruiser
leretz, saying
Il die for the Russian people and the
fatherland and many Of you, doubtless
viii hereafter share my death for the same
cause.
Schmidt refused to accept the sacrament
and asked not to be blindfolded. II,
met his death with head up and eyes open
The firing party was stationed at a dis
tance OF 80 PAGES.
Two OF the sailors we're killed at the
first volley and one more at the third
Schmidt did not fall until the iourtl
volley.

St. Petersburg, Russia, March 20
Gen Kuropatkin's last order of the day
10 the First Manchurian Army. printed
in the Russky Invalid (the military organ)
TODAY is a remarkable exposure of the
causes Of the Russian defeats, showing
that they were due to a lack OF prepare
ton and equipment and to the fact that
there were no explosive shells for the
mountain artillery, &c, in the early
stages of the war.
Gen Kuropatkin does not shirk bis
own responsibility as Minister of War
before the war broke OUT, but points
out that the causes of the defeats were
deeper, namely, the morale of the troops
and Of the officers, who did not display
initiative, independence OF enthusiasm
in spite of the iron nerves and heroic
spirits Of the soldiers.
All this, the general boldly announces
battributable 70 the oppression Of bureau
cratic ruling during the last 80 years
which, in the case of the officers, drove
men Of independence from the service,
leaving only worthless drones
He congratulates the troops on the adj
vent of liberty and hopes for the regenera-
tion OF the people.
Gen Kuropatkin gives the entire losses
Of the First Manchurian Army, which
averaged a strenth of 100000 men and
200 officers. as 1895 officers killed ano
l.733 wounded, and lO,435 men killed
and Sc, $50 wounded.
lie concludes with expressing the opin
ion that the army should be so strength
ened in time of peace that victory will be

City Solicitor Townsend Advises Street and

Relative TO the contention raised as

tor Townsend sent an opinion TO the Street
and Sewer Department, in reply 70 the

reviewing the subject the city solicitor
says.
~ am forced 10 the conclusion that it
would be extremely ill-advised action on
the part of your honorable body to set
up any claim 20 the land on which the
tracks of the p. b. & W. Railroad Co.
are laid as a public street or highway
Of the city of Wilmington, as / believe
that such proceeding would involve the
city in useless expense and would result
in a failure 10 sustain such contention.
On the contrary, / can but say that from
an examination of all OF the evidence that
has been introduced. my personal opinion
is that the land from Orange street 20 the
| city line on the southwest over which the
tracks of the railroad company have for
years been laid is owned by the railroad
company. and that it secured a private
right therein, and that there never has
been any public highway or street over
such lands acquired by condemnation OF
/ purchase from the railroad company, nor
/ does il appear that the railroad company
has dedicated the whole or any part OF
such right of way to the city as q public
I street.
The opinion was filed and Il is not likely
that the department will take any action.
