Directions for Useful and Ornamental
 Work Bag.

This pretty work bag is made of silk and crochet.covcred brass rings. A light shade of silk is used for the bag part. A darker shade of crochet silk, or silk-finished cotton for the brass rings. A pretty combination is made by having the bag of pale lavender, the crocheting of deep royal purple. The brass rings used are about five eighths of an inch in diameter. There are nine rosettes of the brass ring work in row. Each rosette is com- posed of one ring in the center, sur rounded by six rings. Make one round of nine rosettes. Between each of these nine rosettes, fasten the lower

FIRES DESTROY FORESTS.
About 1880 Acres of Timber De-
strOyed in New England.

Unusually dry conditions in the forests
throughout Massachusetts, caused by the
absence of rain during the last month.
have been responsible to a large extent
for the great damage by forest fires. which
have swept through southeastern WOrces-
ter county, across the Cape Cod district
and over Bristol and Plymouth counties.
About 100 acres have been destroyed.
and in several cases the flames have no,
been checked, despite the fact that 900
men are engaged in fighting them.
The extensive fires which have devas-
tated the Cape Cod forests had their
origin in small blaZos caused by sparks
from locomotives, while various causes
have been responsible for the others.
Blackened trunks and smoldering embers
are all that remain in many places where
formerly were forests of marketable tim
Der and heavy underbrush.
The most extensive fire is that raging
in the Douglas woods. one of the richest
areas of timberland in the State The
flames there have devastated 5000 acres
in Massachusetts and have spread into
Connecticut, where the damage is brlicv-
ed to be about onc-ffth rs great Begin
ming in Douglas the fire has eaten its
way through the forest land in the towns
of Sutton. East Douglas, Webster, Mill

spreading.

MANY MOORS SLAIN.
Sultnn's Troops Defeat Large Force
of Moroccan Rebels.

The Sultans troops are reported to
have defeated again large force of the
knaSS tribesmen, in whose territory Caid
Sir Harry MacLean has bean held cap
tive. Six hundred Moors were killed and
several of their villages were burned.
III Paris the Moroccan situation is re-
garded as having assumed a distinctly
more serious aspect. The ferment in the
interior of Morocco, the proclamation of
Mulai Hafz, the Sultan's brother, as sui
tan by section of the rebels, and the
appearance of a new Moorish army before
Casablanca have created fear that the
whole country soon will be ablaze with
fana ;icism.
More than 1000 colonial infantry, cav
airy and troops of other arms have been
mobilized at Oran and are ready to en-
bark on board transports, and other trans
ports and warships are in readiness Mt
Mediterranean ports to sail for Morocco.
Public sentiment is becoming stronger
against the halfway measures, which, it
Is feared. will lead TO disaster. The Paris
papers assert that the world must sup
port France if it is decided 10 send
military expedition to Fez, as in no other
way, the newspapers say, can the state
of anarchy in Morocco be ended. The
government, however, is resisting this
pressure, desiring to keep within the
bounds of the Algcciras convention, and
reports that negotiations are under way
for an enlargement of the mandate of the
powers are emphatically denied. Never
thelcSS it is admitted. even in official cir
CleS, that something might happen which
would place an entirely new complexion
on the situation and compel France, in
the name of the powers, to chastise Mo-
rocco.

TALK By TAFT.
Would Revise Tariff and Put Biz
NiOlatOrs of Law I'm Prison.


William Howard Taft. Secretary Of
War, and the administrations candi-
date for the Republican presidential
nomination. at Columbus detailed his
views on pressing public questions be-
fore the Buckeye Republican Club. Sec
retary Taft was received with enthusi-
aSm, every person present rising and
cheering him vigorously.
The Secretary's address was the first
and most important of a series to be
made at various points In the West
prior to his sailing for the Philippines
and Japan on the 10th of September.
From political standpoint it was
noted that Secretary Taft laid down
his opinions in such way that there
was no mistaking his candidacy and
hardly any doubt, also. that he expects
to have as his chief opponent on the
Democratic ticket William Jennings
Bryan. Mr.. Taft singled Mr.. Bryan
out repeatedly in discussing public
questions and the views of other indi-
viduals.
The salient features of the Secre-
tary's address were:
He favors additional railroad rate leg
iSlation. notably an increase OF power to
the Interstate Commerce Commission.
He favors changes in the antitrust
law which will more clearly define it.
lie believes there can be such a thing
as a lawful trust, but emphasizes the
danger of unlawful monOpoies.
He does not agree with Mr.. Bryan as
to the trust license plan and as to what
should be done with the trusts"
He is in favor of remedying the "swOl-
len fortune" evil and suggests State leg
islation.
He believes that the graduated Inherit
ance and income tax might be properly
resorted to by the government in case
OF financial emergency.
He denies that Rooscvet'S policies are
socialistic and that the President was re-
sponsible for State legislation reducing
railroad passenger rates or for Wall street
t1urrieS.
He designated Mr.. Bryan's scheme Of
government as "nerveless" and denies the
practicability of a national referendum.
He comes out squarely aaainst govern
ment ownership Of railroads.
He announces that he is against free
trade, but favors tariff revision and be-
leves there should be no tariff tinkering
until after the next presidential election.

terest of the public health, but differ
enceS have arisen at each stage of the
attempt to frame regulations for the
government of the export trade in such
commodities owing to honest difference
of opinion as to the proper definition of
adulteration.
Although taking an advanced position
in this matter as revealed in the strin-
gent legislation contained in the pure
food law, the government Of the United
States has been obliged at times to take
sharp issue with some of the European
government officials as to the harmfulness
of certain ingredients of our food export
ed. Against purely technical objections
the Agricultural Department has been
contending with difficulty for a long time.
But with the passage of the pure food
act with the authority contained therein
to apply its provisions to imported food
and drugs and wines, the department finds
its hand / uch strengthened in dealing
with European governments, which are
now beginning to show a very practical
interest in the inquiry which DIR. Wiley
is making into the nature of the ingredi-
ents of the great quantities of foreign
delicatessen and liquors that are flowing
into the United States.

EDDY CASE is DROPPED.
Those who Began Case Decide to
Dismiss 1t.

The famous suit in equity brought
March l by George W. Glover, son of
Mrs. Mary Baker q. Eddy, and others
as next friends against Calvin S. Frye
and others for accounting of the property
of the aged head of the Christian Science
church, came to an abrupt end Wednes
day.
Immediately after the opening of court
in the continued hearing regarding Mrs.
Eddy's competency before Judge Edgar
Aldrich and his cOmaSterS at Concord
y. H., William f. Chandler, senior cOun
sci for the next friends" announced that
he had filed with the clerk of the court a
motion for the dismissal of the suit.
Mr.. Chandler said that there were many
reasons for this action, but that the prin-
cipal one was ''the unproftableness Of
any immediate result of a decision in our
favor upon the exact issue as now framed,
compared with the burdens and disadvan-
tages to be endured by us, both before and
after such a decision"

Despite the te!egraphers' strike and the
acute effect of this and other adverse fac
tors, trade conditions reflect no recession
in activity and volume of demands in
leading lines. There is, however, az ex-
pected, more caution in approaching new
undertakings of magnitude.
1t is excellent testimony to the healthy
: basis of commerce in this section that the
returns make a gratifying exhibit in pay
mentS through the banks, in freight move
ments, mercantile defaults and factory
production, all these comparing favorably
with high records year ago. The banks
successfully maintain ample reserves, but
there is more urgent discount Offering and
crop mo- i1s needs involve heavy ship
ments of currency to the interior.
Pressure upon available funds causes
no discrimination against responsible Gus
toners seeking accommodation, yet close
scanning of credits is in order, partlcu-
larly with reference to commitments tol
the future. Notwithstanding heavier
tone pcrVadeS some quarters, current
transactions sustain good feeling in the
leading industries and wholesale branches.
Distribution of finished materials and
raw Supplies is maintained at the highest

Crude materials have not changed III

Crop reports again agree as to fine
progress in corn and spring wheat growth,

throughout agricultural sections, where
heavy OutlayS are made for farm addi-
tionS and tools. This encouraging fca-
ture impartS more confidence to the buy
ing of staple merchandise.
Country buyers in unusually large num-
bers now make their selections here, and
the bookings for early delivery run into
large totals in the textiles. clothing, boots
and shoes. furniture and food products.

FACTS ABOUT : =: :
=: : : THE CENSUS.

Uncle Sam is a successful publisher.
He issues annually the horse book"
which has an enormous circulation. Over
million copies of the book have been
printed, and still the public demand for
il is not satisfied. Another edition of
250,OOO copies of this famous volume. the
full title of which is Special Diseases
of the Horse has just been ordered. This
makes over a million copies ordered, but
before the demand is supplied these will
be exhausted and Congressman will find
il necessary to go down in their pockets
to have copies of the book printed for
constituents after using their congress
sional quota. An idea of the magnitude
Of the work may be formed from the state
ment that the first edition of 361 900
copies if laid end to end would cover n
space fifty miles long. and if piled up
fatwise would make 1OS piles as high as
the Washington monument.
In 1904 the census bureau started out
to ascertain whether the country is get
ting better and it now announces that

prisons to the entire population has de-
creased since 1890. Out of every million

not including trust magnatcS, while in
1890 there were 1061. The census eX-
perts point out that this decrease may
mean only an extension of the probation
and parole system. In 1880 : per cent
of the prisoners were women; in 1890 1
per cent. and in 1904 ) per cent. COlored
persons were more common among the
prisoners in 1904 than they were in 1890.
