CANADIAN STEAMER AGROUND.
The Montreal Reports Accident by
Marine Telephone.

Ottawa, Ontario. Oct. 3Q.-In Lake St
Peter, below Montreal, the steamer Mon

bottom. The vessel lies out of the chan

preston is that something went wrong
with the steering gear. At the spot where
the Montreal went aground there is a soft
bottom, so that it is not thought likely
that any serious damage has been done to
the hull Of the vessel
The officers reported the grounding
promptly by marine telephone and the
officials Of the company were at once in a

half an hour after the receipt of the news
at Quebec the government steamer Lady

It was ascertained at an autopsy to-

death.
Who fired the fatal shot will never be

another hunting party which was running

might have shot himself accidentally was
shattered by the autopsy.

to the room was through a paper-cov-

TABLE DRAPERY FOR SUMMER.
Many New and Beautiful Models Seen
This Year.

Dainty napery is an important item
among furnishings for the summer
cottage, and though fashions vary but
little in table linens each season sees
some slight changes in designs, or
decoration. Most housekeepers make
no change whatever in dinner cloths
and napkins and use the same napery
as when in town, usually fine damask.
hemmed or hemStitched. Drawn work,
is always popular as a finish for fine
table linen. and many new and beauti-
full models are seen this year. Bor-N
ders so finely worked and drawn as to
appear like fancy braid inserted,
with corners as fragile looking as a.
cobweb, decorate dainty doilies, while
holder and heavier patterns ornament
the handsome cloths. Doilies and
table coiths are always hemstitched
when trimmed with drawn work. The
former come in sizes from the small
square to be placed under finger bowls
to those measuring 12x12 inches.
Table cloths vary in size from one
yard to two and half yards square,
and come in both simple and elaborate
designs. Every season sees it's own
favorite design in damasR and this
year the satin spot handsomely bor-
dered predominates Many women
claim that this kind of a cloth shows
on silver and cut glass better than
any other damask ever woven. The
housekeeper who has to economic
hnds the spot and dot patterns prove
less expensive than other designs, for
they can often be matched in case Of
an accident to set, or If some pieces,
have become worn before the others.
In buying linen it is well to remember
that the unbleached varieties last
longer, as general rule, than the
bleached and only few washings will,
render them perfectly white.
