BY ALFRED ,. STOPPER.

Washington, Dec. 6.-tSpecial.)--W. F. Vandiver today had conference with Judge Clements. of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and was in formed by him that 1t had been decided to have the hearing in the complaint of the Montgomery bureau against the fourteen railroads at Montgomery Jan uary S-10.
 The hearings will be conducted by Commissioners Clements and Clark. There are some other cases to be dis posed of at Montgomery while they are in the city and they will probably be designated in few days.
 The Montgomery Freight Bureau has had to wait a long time for recogni- tion, but the interested parties are for- tunate in having two members of the commission conduct the hearings. This is due to the importance of the ques- tions at issue.
 Many. other cities have to put up with special examiners, so numerous are complaints before the commission. But Judge Clements was at Montgom- cry a few weeks ago, and he wants to look carefully into the contentious between the shippers and the railroad companies.
 MT. vandiver left tonight for his home in Montgomery.

AGED W0HaE KILLED.



A horrible death came to an
aged woman of Apex yesterday,
this being Mrs. Nathan Holle-
man, who was fifty years of age,
md who was run over by a
freight train of the Seaboard at
d dangerous crossing in Apex.
The terrible accident occurred
about three o'clock yesterday af-
terno0n at the water tank at
Apex. Mrs. Holleman was cross
ing the track from behind the
tank. and the train was backing.
1t was upon her before she could
act. and the wheels which crush
ed the life out of her mangled
body, cut this in half. Her face
was not disfgured.
Mrs. H0lleman had been sit
ting up with a sick daughter, and
had then gone to a store to make
some purchases. She started to
her home and in so doing had TO
cross the track of the Seaboard.
This she started to do at the
water tank, and the freight,
backing in on the side track ran
her down. The train struck her
so quickly that il was all over
before any alarm could be raised.
The body was brought to Raj
eigh on a freight train and was
embalmed at the Brown coffin
house. 1t was taken back to
Apex this morning, but the bur.
ial will not take place till Friday
as she had sons in Mississippi for
whom the wait will be made.
The funeral will take place Fri
day afternoon from the Central
Baptist church.
Her husband, MIR. Nathan Hcl.
leman is a contractor and car
ptnter at Apex and besides him
she was survived by four sons
and two daughters. D4rwood

The President Explains.

washington, Nov. IL. In an
swer to one of the numerous pro-
tests which have been received
at the White House against the
gold coins which have been COIN
ed without the words I'm Gold
We Trust" President Roose-
velt had written a letter which
he to-day made public. The let
ter follows:
when the question of the
new coinage came up we looked
into the law and found there was
no warrant therein for putting
IN God We Trust on the coins
as is the custom, although with
out legal warrant and grown
up. however, | might have felt
at liberty to keep the inscription
had l approved of its being on
the coin. But as | did not ap-
prove of it, | did not direct that
it should again be put on. OF
course the matter of law is abEo-
lutely in the hands of Congress
and any direction of Congress in
the matter will be Immediately
obeyed. At lr sent as | have
said there is no warrant in law
for the inscription.
DOES NO GOOD.
MY own feeling in the matter
is due to my very firm conviction
that to put such motto on colEs
or to use it in any kindred man
ner, not only does no good, but
does positive harm. and is in ef-
feet irreverence, which comes
dangerously close to sacrilege.
| A beautiful and solemn sentence
such as the one in question
should be treated and uttered
only with that fine reverence
which necessarily implies a GER
tain exaltation of spirit. ANY
use which tends to cheaper it.
and above all, any use which
tends to secure its being treated
in a spirit Of levity is from every
standpoint profoundly to be re-
GREETED.
1T is a motto which it is in
deed well to have Inscribed on
our great national monuments.
in our temples of justice. in our
legislative halls. and in buildings
sach as those at West Point. and
Annapolis in short wherever it
will tend to arouse and inspire a
lofty emotion in those who look
thereon. But it seems to emf
nently unwise So cheaper such a
motto by use on coins. just as it
would be to cheaper it by use on
on postage stamps or in adver-
tisements.
SOURCE or JEST AND RiC!CULE.
AS regards the use OF coinage
we lave actural experience by
which to go. In all my life !
have never heard any human be-
ing speak reverently of this mot
10 on the coins or show any
signs Of its having appealed to
any high emotion in him. but |
have literally hundreds Of times
heard it used as an occasion of,
and incitement to the snsering
rilicule which Il is above all
things undesirable that SO beat
tiful and exalted a phrase should
excite.
For example throughout the
contest extending over several
decades on the free coinage ques-
ton the existence Of this motto
on the coins was a constant
source Of jest and ridicule, and
this was unavoidable. Every
one must remember the innum-
erable cartoons and articles based
on phrases like In God We
Trust for the eight cents. In
God We Trust for the short
weight. In God We Trust for
the thirty.seven cents we do not
pay. and so forth and so forth.
Surely | am within bounds when
| say that a use of the phrase

Hardanger embroidery, proper, is in reality
a variety of drawnwork, called-when it~was
brought out in this country some years ago
by a Danish lady-Norwegian or Swedish
drawnwork, sometimes Scandinavian drawn
work 1t is a combination of simple stitches
and open spaces formed by drawing out the
threads, leaving bars to be worked over. The
distinctive feature of Hardanger Work-thus
called from the little town of Hardanger, in
Norway where a great deal of it Is done,
even though the claim of it's origination by
the women of Hardanger is disputed-is the
fat-stitch, in blocks, outlining the design,
with the little drawn squares, either plain or
picoted, filled with simple stitch or lett
open. The work is done on an open weave
fabric, the threads of which should be alike,
warp and wool, and very evenly woven, in
order to secure the best results The best
quality of linen scrim answers admirably for
many purposes. a heayier-two-thread or
must be outlined by the block stitches before
which surrounded by the stitches, never
the side to which the stitch lies parallel.
Be sure that your work is accurately started.
Most designs are best begun at corner,
working both ways, although many prefer to
start at the exact center. Having found
this, run a thread to the edge, each side,
thus dividing the square in fourths, then
begin at the center to work, counting out
each way. In working a border it is always
best to begin at the edge The block stitches
differ in size, usually covering or threads,
and either threads or "holes" may be
counted; most workers prefer the latter
method, thinking it less tiresome and this
is true, if the fabric is evenly woven and
