THE OLD RUSS HOUSE.

Isabel Sewall has written for the Far
mington Chronicle an interesting article on
the old Russ house, an historic old tavern
in Pennington Falls, one of the Oldest
houses in the town, now deserted and going
to decay. On a recent visit to the house 1t
was found that there were four large rooms
and several small ones on the ground floor
and that all the large rooms originally had
fireplaces two very large ones with brick
ovens attached. The lower rooms had all
been papered with modern wall paper, but
under this paper was more or less elaborate
frescoing. That the house was built by one
Jonathan Russ seemed to be the general i'm
preston among the older people of the vii
lage, and several could remember when his
son, "Major' ohm Russ, kept tavern there.
"Why, my aunt said that when she was
young she worked in the tavern as table

MAKING REAL LACE IN AMERICA.

An article on lace making in the The
New Idea Woman'S Magazine for Novem-
Der contains reference to the starting of the
lace industry in this country by four bos-
ton girls. "1hese young women,' it appears,
chad d great longing to make the handsome
laces known to Europe. They secured Mrs
Florence Weber, who had studied the art of
Italian lacemaking from an Italian in this
country and from the schools OF Italy. They
became SO Interested in this work that they
We're not satisfied to make the Italian lace
alone, but were soon studying the faces ma
tive to the different European countries.
1t was not long before they interested Mr..
Cary, a Boston philanthropist, in their
work and he organized them into a cooper
alive society, part OF the iiandIcraft Sales
room. They are guaranteed fixed salary,
and whenever their profits fall short their
benetactor makes good the loss: They have
a bright, airy room to work in, and they
have no overseer, for they are put on their
honor. The shop is controlled by Board
of Directors their only other supervisor is
their teacher, who comes to Instruct them
three times week. The ambition of these
young women is to make lace no less lovely
than the Aencon of France and the BruS-
sells of Belgium. Their other aim is to make
their enterprise self-Supportlng They have
not accomplished this up to the present, as
it is no easy task to convince buyers OF lace
that these cultivated women can make laces
such as are made by the European peasan-
try, and Italians, who have been trained in
this handicraft from mother to daughter
through the centuries. In spite of this these
girls are gaining a large patronage, and
they expect to have their work running on
paying basis. They not only make the finest
Italian, French, and English laces, but also
repair and clean them with great skill.
They make their own designs, and usually

successful schools in town. She reports
that wages for teachers are much higher
than here and that California has the finest

She has become quite enthusiastic over

in shooting rabbit and quail, which are very
plentiful in that vicinity. About six miles

Manufacturers of Pink Pills Win Prelimi-
nary Skirmish in Libel Action Against
Golfers.
SCHENECTADY, n. Y, Nov. Justice
Van Kirk, of the Supreme Court of the
State of New York, has handed down two
decisions on preliminary motions in the
action for 100000 damages for malicious
libel, brought by the manufacturers of DR..
Williams Pink Pills against Golfers
Weekly. Both decisions are in favor of
the medicine company. The court holds
with the plaintiff that certain portions of
the answer of the defendant are irrelevant
and redundant and grants motion to
strike them out. A motion by the attorneys
for Golfers requiring, the medicine COM
pany to furnish the defendants with the
formula of its medical preparation is
denied. In the opinion handed down,
Justice Van, Kirk says, "the ingredients
that make up this compound are not at is
sue in the case. There is no part of the
answer pleading that the compound sold by
the plaintiff was not valuable as medicine
nor that it's ingredients have been changed
