- taken up by women and offers
saz1sR9s delightful field Of experiment in a
broad sense
There are few homes wherein an artistic
Spirit prevails that stencil decorations in
form or another are not apparent. The ap-
plication of this simple decorative treatment
lends itself admirably for all manner of fur
Iishings, imparting at it does simple, yet
effective and conventional mode of decora-
ton that is neither ornate nor commonplace.
Stencils are, applied to a number of sur
faces, such as walls for frieze and side wall,
or ceiling, wood work, leather, burlap, denim,
linen, canvas, pongee and other fabrics, be-
sides heavy papers of various sorts.
They are also variously applied to wood
en- and leather trimmed furniture, to window
and doorway hangings, couch pillows and
other essentials Of interior decoration.
Stencil treatment is especially adapted for
MissiOn interiors or those suggestive of that
great artist craftsman, William Norris
In stenciling, as in many other handicrafts
ones fancy may have free lance and the
more originality the worker possesses the
more artistic and valuable her work becomes
though many persons with no knowledge of
drawing may become expert stencilers as far
as the technical part is concerned and this
is big half of the question. The shops supply
stencil patterns, but then they are apt to be
copied by Others so that it is better for those
who do not possess any ability to draw and
lmproyise. to buy their patterns from artists
who have a practical knowledge of the re-
Quirements in drawing stencils.
HOW TO CUT AND DESIGN A STENCIL
The amateur must first study the practical
requirements Of stencil patterns before bold
ly starting to design them. One Of the first
considerations to keep in mind is that the
pattern must necessarily be broken I'D in
small parts called ties which hold the de-
sign together by means Of narrow uncut
strips These little ties are, of course an
essential part of it and may be introduced
in such a manner as to add character and
individuality, rather than to take those quail
tcations from it.
Veins in leaves become part Of the orna
ment. while the flowers and trees are con
ventiOnaliZed after various artistic treat
ment. When you once famiiarize yourself
with the characteristic outline and botanical
analysis, conventional trea tment of the same
bcomes very simple and in this manner the
designer will supply herself with the new
ideas
After the design is completed or copied, i
should be traced off on paper, which comes
especially for the purpose. Manila paper il
frequently employed. -. T.. !
Before proceeding to cut out the patter1
the paper must be oiled to render it non
absorbent. when the pigment is brushed owe
in applying the design to the surface. A so
luton frequently employed for this purpOs
consists of equal parts of linseed Oil and tur
pentine to which is added a quantity O
Japan dryer equal to One-siXth of the com
bined oil and turpentine. Any paint sho]
will mix this solution for you.

PHILADELPHIA. Dec. 3l.-Al
thought the funeral this afternoon oI
A. J. Cassatt, president of the Penn
sylvania railroad, was as simple and
the services as brief as 1t had beer
possible to make them, it was attend
ed by representatives of the largest
financial and railroad interests Of the
country.
The first of the Pennsylvania off
cials to arrive from points outside Of
the city were james McCrea, first
vice president: Joseph Wood, second
vice president; Z. A. Ford, passenger
traffic manager, and Samuel Moody
general agent, all of Pittsburg. They
reached Broad street station at $3.50
o'clock in Mr.. Mccrea's private car
which was attached to the regular ex'
press at Plttsburg They registered
at the Bellevue.strntford and then
Mr. McCrea, with Mr.. Wood, went to
the Philadelphia club, Of which the
former is member.
Beyond stating that they had come
to attend the funeral OF Mr.. CassatI
none OF the party had anything to
say. They will return to Pittsburg i'm
mediately after the services this aft
ernoon. A special train from Pitts
burg bearing e. B. Tayio4 fourth
president Of the western system; G,
L. Peck, general manager, and many
other officials, arrived here this morn
ing, and after the services the Off
cials will board the train at West
Philadelphia to return Immediately to
Pittsburg.
Many other special cars from all
over the east arrived this morning
bringing individuals and small parties
of the friends and associates in private
and business life OF the dead man
They will be in the city only for an
hour or two, and comparatively few
outside of the immediate relatives will
accompany the funeral party to Bryr
Mawr.
AS has been announced, there were
no pail bearers other than those pro
vided by the undertaken, and immed
lately after the service at Q O'Clock
at the house in Rittenhouse Square
the carriages, which did not number
more than 90, left for Bryn Mawr. They
will not stop at the church but will
proceed at once to the grave where
the commital service will be read.

WIFE or LOOMS
IN PARKERS.B|URG
NEARLY HEARTsRoKEN oVEF
DOWNFALL OF HER HUSBAND
I WHO is A FUGITIVE.

PARKERsBuRG, Dec. s1.- While
officers of the law all over the United
states are looking for her husband,
charged with stealing $4,000 from
Kuhn and Rickett, druggists Of Brook
fyn, and LOOMS former employers,
Mrs. E. E. LOOMS, formerly Miss Belle
Forsythe, is at the home of her moth
er on Eleventh street here, nearly
hsartbroken over his downfall. She
denies herself to everyone and suffers
the disgrace in silence.
She arrived here the day following
Christmas, about the time that her
husband escaped from the officers. In
New York, it was learned that she
was coming here. and after Loomis'
sensational escape by jumping from
a train at Jamestown, the police here
wer notified that the wife was in this
city, and that her husband would like
ly join her here.
Since that time the house has been
under police surveillance. 1t is not
now believed, that in view Of the pub
llclty given the affair, LOOMS will at
tempt to join his wife here, while it
is learned that she has no idea Of his
present whereabouts and has had no
communication with him.
Mrs. Loomis, it is understood, will
continue to make this city her home,
and will live with her mother here.
AS far as can be learned the author.
tiles have no clue to the present
whereabouts Of Loomis. who evidently
has succeeded in again getting far
away from his pursuers. 1t is sup
posed that he has an ample livelihood
available, as the result Of the alleged
theft from his former employers.

Shot Wife and
Kills Himself
l.AoMEsTEAn NEGRO pEppLER Is
DRIVEN BY JEALOUSY TO AT
TEMPT MURDER,

PITTSBURG, Dec. 3l.-Jealous OF
his wife and angry because she had
caused warrant to be issued for his
arrest, Robert Ford, a aeg:n ped
dler, yesterday shot his wife three
times and then killed himself. The
woman is not mortally hurt.
The Fords lived in Sixth avenue,
Homestead Ford was aged 40 and
his wife SS. They were married five
years ago and have no children. Ford
had been jealous of his wife and when
drunk abused her. On Wednesday
she appealed for protection to the po'
lice but Ford was not arrested on
promising not to molest her. The
next day he threatened her and she
swore out warrant before Justice
Of the Peace J.. c. Miller. charging
him with disorderly conduct.
Ford evaded arrest. having heard
OF the warrant, and last evening ne
went TO the house and, accusing his
wife of faithlessness, drew a revol-
yer. The woman fed to an alley back
of the house and Ford followed her
and shot at her three times, the bull
lets taking effect in her wrist, Inatct-
ing a scalp wound, and hitting her in
the leg.
The wife fell at the last shot and
Ford, placing the muzzle Of the revol-
yer to his ear, fred. falling dead. The
woman was taken to physicians of
fee, where her wounds were dressed.
Three years ago Ford was arrested
for assauittng a policeman, but es.
capped with handouts on, remaining
in hiding two days, manacled, before
he was recaptured and sent to the
workhouse.

To-day regular through trolley cars
were started between this city anil
Clarksburg. The schedule for these
cars was made up several days ago
and was printed in the West Virgin
ian. Cars have made several trips,
but were not running according 10
schedule. With the line extended
from Fairmont to Clarksburg dis.
tance of 26 miles, the Fairmont ana
Clarksburg Traction Company has
consummated a work which was the
aspiration Of the Falrmont and Clarks'
burg Electric Railway Company.
The organization Of the Falrmont
and Clarksburg Electric Railroad
Company was effected In June 1900.
This company acquired great deal
Of property and secured valuable fran
chlses of the Fairmont and Suburban
Railroad Company which owned and
operated the electric light system Of
the city at that time. When the new
company was formed there, was lit

Joseph Walter, the little son Of Mr..

The child was taken i'll of cholOrea

his parents and greatly beloved by a
large circle of relatives and friends
who are heart broken over his death.
The sympathy Of the entire commune

BODY WAS found.
FROZENIN SNOW
THROAT OF EMMET DAVIS WAS
CUT WITH RAZOR PROBABLY
BY HIS OWN HAND.

WHEELING, Dec. S1.-The dead
body Of Emmett Davis, well known
man living in the vicinity of Morris
town. Belmont county, Ohio. was
found yesterday morning in vacan;
lot owned by Isaac Hazlett in the
town of Morrlstown and a deep cash
across his throat a razor lying by
his side, was evident that the man
had taken his ow life.
Davis was a single man about 4J
years of age and tesided with his pa
rents, Mr.. and MIS-. Hammond Davis
we'll known Belmont county people
living on a farm about two miles
from Morrlstown.
He had been III for some time and
on several occasions he told members
of the family and friends that be
would end his life. tits supposed that
he grew respondent from Ill health
which prompted him to commit the
rash act.
Davis left home week ago last
Thursday, or December goth, and had
not been seen since. However, moth
ing was thought of his absence until
about two days ago, when 1t became
generally known that no person had
seen him, after several had missed
him and began making inquiries. Al
though a search TO some extent was
started, the body was discovered ac'
cldentally. Mr.! HazIett, on whose lot
the body was found, had a large
amount Of fodder stacked on the lot
which he has been feeding to cattle
He had been taking the fodder from
one side OF the pile at each time for
feeding, but yesterday morning he
happened to go around to the other
side, when he discovered the body.
Anyhow, the body had been covered
by snow up until the last few days and
it could not have been easily seen.
A deep cut almost from ear to ear
and Davis own razor lying at his side,
made plain that he ended his own
life. From the position of the body IT
seems that he was kneeling when he
committed the act and then fell over
backward.
The body was frozen and was in a
well preserved state. Coroner Diven
was notified, but, after learning the
facts, decided an inquest unnecessary
The funeral of the dead man will be
