 Some of the prettiest armlets have come out to fill just that need-armlets which are nothing more in the world than long cuffs made for wearing with chemisettes.
 Some of them are fascinating, in the way they end in frills, pleated or ruff fled, which flare out prettily, not over the hand, but at the top of the cuff. over the pun itself. For a blouse that is to be laundered often, don't get the ones with pleated rufies. for pleating doesn't do up well. And rufiing Is pret- tiest when 1t is treated to a goffering

 A good idea, according to one girl Mno gets along upon about as near nothing a year as ever girl did. is to make arInlets of lace and "hxings to match the blouse, and thens instead of sewing them to the blouse, keep them sep arate, so that the blouse may do double duty--as a short and long sleeve affair.
 The lower part of a good sleeve pat tern is all you need to make them on. They should be made on paper. if much lace Is to enter into their composition.

 Often embroidery--insertion or motifs is joined by rows of insertion crossed and eriss-crossed in a pattern of it's own, Usually the designs of the lace used for these separate cuffs are so staple in design that 1t is often possible to match the lace of the blouse whose sleeves you want to lengthen in cuffs all ready to attach.

ing money from letters and oashing the chsoks
in them himself or through Bates and lie Roy.
Claytons picture. it is said. is in the Rogues
Gallery: The police say ne stole mail pouch
in Buffalo containing $4,000 In checks and
obtained $1,000 on them
Many complaints have been made during the
last two months by Newark business men that
they have not received mail sent 10 them ana
that checks and money have been lost IN the
mails in transit The police also received com,
plants that checks which had been tempered
with were being cashed IN various places, ana
when the local police and the postofhce IN.
spectors began to compare notes they found
that some Of the checks cashed were those re-
ported lost.

broker Of No. 922 Ninth avenue. New York, led
to the arrest Of the three men Il was drawn
August so, 1905, by William Koch & Son, man

who said he got IL from Clayton.
It's up to me-" the detectives say Clayton
told them; I'm crooked and have been for
years, but Bates is a dog"

suburb of Philadelphia. The wedding took
place in the City Hall here. Mrs. Clayton s
mother died last Wednesday, and she went home

BLACK HAND" MURDER, SAY POLICE
Italians Body, Badly Mutilated, Found in
Woods Near New Rochelle.

Joseph Restrifo thIrty-fve years old, we'll
TODD mason and contractor, was found early
yesterday morning hacked to death. beneath a
tree on the Lathers estate on Lathers Hill at
New Rochelle. It is generally believed that he
was another victim OF the Black Hand" society.
This makes the ninth Italian murder IN West
chester in the last few months
1t is the opinion Of Coroner Van Patten. Of
Mount Vernon, who is Investigating the case,
that Restrifo was murdered some distance from
the woods, and that his body was then carried
TO the spot The murdered mans head was q
mass Of deep cuts, which, it is believed was
made by a Ratchet. There was q four-inch
wound the right ear, a deep cut over the
left ear, a gaping hole in the forehead and q
stab wound in the neck. evidently made by a
stilletto, which had pierced the JuguIar vein.
It is known that Restrifo had $500 last week
and only 81 u was found in his pockets. His
watch missing. On one of his fingers were
two valuable rings.
Chief of Police Timmons does not believe that
the Italian was murdered for his money but
thinks 1t for vengeance.

CALLS WRECK MURDER.
Passenger Says 1t Vas Due to
Brakeman's negligence.

Ogden Brewer. of No $50 Nassau street, who
was a passenger on the express which ran into
the Long Branch train near Philadelphia yes
terday afternoon, in an interview declared that
the accident was nothing short of murder. The
rear brakeman of the Long Branch train, he
said. might have averted the accident had he
gone far enough to the rear to see the other
train before il got to the curve.
THE Long Branch train" he said. was stalled
about a thousand feet beyond the curve. An
airbraks had become set. At the curve was q
block signal. This had been set after the pas
sage Of the Long Branch train. but it could not
be seen by the engineer of our train soon enough
for him 10 stop his engine before ploughing into
the of the train ahead. Our train-I was
riding IN the Pullman smoker at the rear
dashed around that curve at the rate Of sixty
miles an hour, and piled into the rear Of the
other train. It was vestibuled. but the cars were
smashed into kindlingwood.
'If a brakeman had been sent back to the
curve where he could have seen any approach
ing train, our train could have been stopped In
time. The block signal, saw, was set ell right.
talked 70 the engineer of our train. He said
he had been the road forty-two years. and
this was the first accident he had been in. He
admitted that the signal was set against him,
and said that he put on the air brakes as soon
as he saw the signal, but they did not work
right. The Long Branch train had been there
fifteen twenty minutes, was told, and had
not sent a iagman back. I did not see the
fagynan. I guess he wasn't around
when we smashed into the train, I got out
and talked to the passengers Of the other train.
Fortunately. many of the men had left the train
TO watch the train crew work ar the tight brakes.
They said that the fagman did not go back
near the curve 1t nothing less than MUIR
der. It showed absolute negligence. kind Of
negligence that happens so often that think
Il ought TO be brought TO the attention OF the
public If the brakeman had gone back to the
curve as he had ample time TO do. he could
have stopped the train in time"
Mr. Brewer told of the marvellous escape OF
one Of the men passengers of the Long Branch
train He said: II standing beside the
body of dead woman, when man said TO me,
That woman and I were standing together on

BUoYs TO MARK BOUNDARY LINE.
They VIII Be Used to Warn Fishermen on
Lake Erie.

Washington Sept. 29-From time TO time
complaints received by this government that
American fishermen on Lake Erie are annoyed
unwarrantably by the Canadian authorities by
charges that they are fishing in Canadian wa
ters and the consequent seizure Of their vessels.
Officers OF the revenue cutter service have
suggested that a line Of buoys be established IN
Lake Erie as a tentative boundary line. The
matter was referred 10 the Department OF State
because OF international phases OF the question.
and Acting Secretary Adee. in response TO a
suggestion from the Treasury Department, said
there was no reason why the buoys should not
be laid, but that, Of course, they could not be
considered as a definite international boundary.
He suggested that the officers Of the American
revenue cutter Morrill, and the Canadian revenue
cutter Vigilant arrange for the placing Of the
buoys which, far as the fishermen of both
countries were concerned. might be regarded as
the boundary. The State Department was in
formed to-day by the Treasury Department that
that idea would be carried into effect.
