HELPS THE LINGERIE DRESS.
Ribbon Run Through Beading Has
Charming Effect.

Nowadays the lingerie dress has
done away with the unsightly safety
pin that used to keep the skirt and
waist together, and most of them are
put together at the waist line with a
piece of insertion or some other trim
ming. But most popular of all for
the tall girl who wants to outline her
waist is a piece Of beading through
which is run a soft ribbon about two
inches wide. At the left side of the
waist is put full bow, with two short
ends tackled up on the waist and a
couple of long loops and ends falling
down over the skirt. Finish the
sleeves in the same manner and run
the ribbon through the beading, fin.
ished at the top of the elbow with
full bow with rather long ends hang
ing down hiding the sharp lines of the
elbow joint. Do this on a simple mus
lin frock, with nothing but machine
tucks, and the effect is charming. The
Dresden ribbon seems most popular
of all this year, and has been put on
the market much cheaper than in
former years. These ribbons RIM
about three or four inches in width
and generally the edges are outlined
in solid color--for Instance. a white
ribbon simply covered with dainty
pink, blue and green flowers will have
ON its edge tiny band of solid pink or
blue-and some very stunning ones
with the pink outlined with a sugges.

most becoming to you
Pockets, too, are put on; small ones,
but deep enough for scissors.
The bibs of these aprons end at
their shoulder lines and are fastened
with a fancy pin to the gown
Be sure not to make the apron too
long, never below the knee. for an
apron to be jaunty must be short.

while through the knot is stuck a tiny
bunch of rosebuds. These little bon
nets could be easily copied by moth
er with even slight aspirations to mil
linery.
Fascinating bonnets are also shown
of soft, open straw, bent in poke
shape. The lingerie hat has by no
means lost prestige, and many dainty
embroidered or founced ones are
shown. A favorite lingerie hat is of
sheer linen, with an embroidered frill
and fat bow of liberty satin ribbon,
with big rose on each side.-Mon-

APRONS FoR THE SUMMER.
Dainty Little Garments Are Popular
This Season.

Aprons are popular this summer
not the cheap bingham kind, but the
flilly lace and ribbon ones.
They are worn by the girl at her
informal chafing-dish suppers, at her
sewing circle-in fact, anywhere she
has an excuse for wearing one, for
they are becoming so popular.
They are serviceable, too, for they
protect the front of the gown and
should be worn when she does fancy
work

delicate color, is used to make these

Will Make a Fuller Study OF the
Kapaa Lands on the
Ground.

Governor Frear and Secretary Mott
Smith got away on the Ke Au Hou
last evening for Kauai. They go to
take another look at the Kappa lands,
SO far as Governor Frear is concerned,
and to get first look so far as Mott
Smith is concerned. They were ac-
companied by Frederick E. Harvey,
second assistant Territorial surveyor,
who knows every foot of the land I'M
der discussion, having been for some
time engaged in surveying it.
I'VE CO." said Governor Frear yes
terday, ito acquaint Mr.. Mott-Smith
with the Kappa and adjacent lands,
the lands that are involved in the
present consideration, and to enable
me to secure some information which
did not have time to secure when
was there before.
TT is proposed now to exchange
government land north of Kappa for
Makee sugar land south Of Kappa, and
if the exchange is made then to plan
a system of water supply and irriga-
ton for the whole area OF government
owned land by which all portions of
the land shall have an equitable, and
if possible a sufficient, supply of wa
ter to be paid for at a reasonable
rate, whether the land is used for
cane or for anything else.
IF we are able to agree on the gen.
eral provisions of an exchange and
water system, then the details win be
worked out here. One of the import
ant details will of course be an ap-
praisement of the lands to be exchang-
ed. The question of areas, of the quail
ity of the soil and of the water sup
ply viii of course enter into this ques-
ton which is primarily one Of values.
I IT have disposed OF all matters re-
quiring my immediate attention ex-
cept the Kappa land matter and the
Nuuanu dam matter, and so I thought
/ would take advantage of this OPP
portunity of again going over to Ka-
uai and studying the situation on the
ground. I shall have with me Mr..
Harvey of the survey Office who is
familiar with the land and
will no doubt be of invaluable service
to me-"

PRESIDENT
ALARMED
CONTINUED from PAGE one,.

In spite of denials the report has
been persistent and those who want to
believe only the truth are at a loss
just what to think. Unfortunately de-
malls of am emphatic character in cur
rent administration affairs have not
always proven entirely truthful. Some
of the most emphatic denials in Wash
ington for years were made only week
or two before the order for sending the
battleships to the Pacific ocean was
formally made public There have been
other instances of a like character.
Standard Oil officials in New York
have had the report about Root IS resig-
nation for two or three weeks. 1t is
conceded that that trust has excellent
facilities for securing inside informa-
ton. 1t has agents who can find out
what is doing, even if the admins
tration be exceedingly hostile to the
corporation. At the same time it APP
pears that the Standard Oil Company
is conducting systematic warfare
against the administration, has only be-
gun, and proposes to undo the Presi-
dent if that be possible.
For business and political reasons
Secretary Root would be doing only
the natural thing were he to leave the
cabinet. He has secured all the official
honors possible for him and he could
make great deal of money practising
law. Perhaps the relations between
him and the President are not as cor
dial as they once were, but it is not
credible that there is friction between
them. The remark credited to the
President in conversation with Secre-
tary Root that he might as well leave
the cabinet and take Mr.. Bacon with
him. as the latter was all too intimate
with the firm of J. P. Morgan & Com
pany, was undoubtedly a gross exag-
geration, if it had any foundation at
all.

BUSINESS EXCITEMENT.

Attorney General Bonaparte's recent
interview has caused the business in
terest no little concern. In announcing
that he wanted to jail some of the big
ones he said! 1t is not my purpose to
waste time or effort on mere under
lings or subordinates. As / said not
long ago, it is difficult for the lay
mind to see how corporation can be
guilty of violating the laws and how
the president or directing spirit of
that corporation can be innocent. - As
Mr. Bonaparte gave out that interview
on his return to his desk in Washington,
after a conference at Oyster Bay it is
ineonceivable that President Roosevelt
should not have been in entire accord
with him on that point. But torrent

ENGINEERS DEAL
 IN BIG FIGURES
Concrete For Canal Locks Would Build 22,842 Eight-Room
 Houses.

Washingtonss December 29-The engi- neers of the Panama canal are dealing in vast figures these days and the Canal Record just received conveys graphic manner an idea of the magnitude of the work to be done upon the locks of the canal.
 It is stated for instance that the amount of concrete to be used in building these locks would suffice to construct eight room city houses of the generous size of 30x30 feet with two stories and base ment and with concrete floors and with concrete roof to the number of 22,S42.
 Allowing each of these houses .o-ioot lot, they would make a continuous street from New York to Philadelphia, with enough houses left over to make a row on one side of the street from Philadel- phia to Washington.
 The houses would furnish suburban homes for 10000 people or according to city standards would house a population equal to that of the city of Minneapolis.

 There is plenty of work in Georgia for those who go out of the liquor business, and plenty of work for all of the time of those who have wasted half their time through the use of liquor.

There Is no doubt that prohibition is wise from an economic standpoint. The overwhelm- ing sentiment of the white people of Georgia Is for prohibition and the law will be enforced.

PRISON CHAPEL IS
 DESTROYED BY FIRE
MORE THAN 5000 PRISONERS BE- COME PANlC-STRlCkEN AND SENSATIONAL SCENES ARE EN- AcTED-No ONE INJURED.

Pittsburg, December 29-The chapel of the Allegheny county workhouse located at Claremont, on the Alleghney river l2 miles northeast of the city was destroyed by fire today, which was attended by many sensations.
 There were more than 5000 prisoners in the institution and most of these had at tended worship just few minutes before Christmas decorations ignited from an open fireplace and instantly the whole interior was a mass of flames. The pris- oners, were on their way to the mess room, but were hurried to their cells and locked up. Then began such a chorus of prayers and imprecations as is seldom heard.
 Some of the prisoners were terror stricken, more were resentful and the dominating sentiment of the walls was that the flames might lick up the entire institution.
 The fire-fghting forces of the institution confined the flames to the chapel, which was completely destroyed, but several times the administration building and the east and west cell wings were in danger. The excitement continued long after the fire was controlled and in q number of cases, force had to be resortec to to restrain the obstreperous Inmates.

BRUTAL MURDER
 COMING TO LIGHT
AFTER BEING STUNNED BY BLOWS ON HEAD AGNES o'kEEFE IS THRUST HEADFoRE- MOST IN POOL OF WATER.

Newark, N J.. December 29.-Stunned by blows on the head and then trust | headforemost into a pool of water was the manner of death of the woman whose nude body was found on the Hackensack meadows, in the town of Harrison last Thursday. This grew some story was told tonight at the autopsy which left no doubt as to the details of the murderous work. The body Is believed to be that of Agnes O'Keefe, domestic who has been em- ployed by several families in Orange.
 The physicians discovered that the woman had been struck twice on the back of the head with such force as to render her unconscious, and that while in this state and still breathing, she was pitched headforemost into the pool where she was discovered. ss
 There were two abrasions at the base of the head, behind the right ear. Aft CT infiicting these the physicians de- termined the murderer slit the woman's clothing from the neck down. This feat was skillfully done. for though the cut ting was made with hardy more than Q slight movement of keen edged weapon, that stroke made it's way through the thickness of the clothing and at no time did the point of the knife enter the body. The shoes and stockings were pulled off with brutal haste and then seized by the feet, the woman was stood fairly on her head in the water and sS held until she was dead. The organs indicated that the woman had used blc6nolic stimu1ants, but that she had not done so to excess.
 The detectives are hard at work tracing the life of Agnes O'Keefe, and by this means to arrest the l~krderer.
