All depends upon the choice Of the

One cannot discuss blouses without
touching the question of belts. This
year there is a charming novelty in
belts. They are made quite straight
and from five to twelve centimetros
in height. If the bust is naturally
short the belt must not be exaggerat-
ed. Many belts are made Of supple
leather and ornamented with buckle
behind, while a fancy hook and eye
fasten it in front They are also seen
in silk and cloth to match the skirt
with braces; this is a happy innova-

costume and often there is collar
stole-shaped, that is also attached C
the belt and which composes a very
practical garment. These braces may

IN
SICK ROOM

In sending flowers to an invalid, great
discrimination must be practiced. In
the first place, be careful not to cause
any extra work to the already over
burened family.
For this reason growing plants are
undesirable. and, besides. while the old
idea that they harmed the sick one by
remaining in the sick room over night
Is only a superstition. it is true that
the invalid may easily harm them,
especially if they are much handled.
In the second place, do not send
flowers having a very pronounced or
sickening odor. Tuberoses are thus
distinctly barred. as are other flowers
Of their class.
Thirdly, avoid violent color con-
trasts The nervous system is always
slightly deranEed and the perceptions

KEEP GREENWOOD
ON THE DRY WAGON
Agreement Made by ". f.
Morris Led TO the Refusal
OF a Liquor License
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.

HitNidA 70 IAAH EN HNANG JOUhNAl.
GEORGETOWN. oct. 1.-THE Gem
eral Sessions Court Of Delaware in and
for Sussex county, yesterday refused
a license for the hotel at Greenwood,
kept by w. T. Norris and closed the
hotel, after some remarkable develop
ments.
From the evidence presented in this
case it appears that w. +. Morris ap-.
piled for his license one year ago and
was met by a remonstrance from the
Law and order Society. represented
by Henry Ridgely of Dover Seeing
things going against him. Morris
sought an interview with the Law and
Order people and. upon their agree
ment to withdraw their remonstrance
for one year. signed and delivered to
them this remarkable agreement:
Believing the liquor traffic to be a
great evil, and both a menace and a
detriment to the moral tone and well
fare of the community. 1 pledge my
self that neither / nor the house will
apply for a liquor license for next
year"
When the year rolled around. Morris
changed his mind and applied sir,
Ridgely produced the agreement which
had been carefully preserved. The de-
fence Immediately took the high ground
that no person could be bound by an
agreement not to resort to the law
or submit a matter TO the courts for
settlement.
The sharp retort then came from
the Law and order people that they
would raise the issue that a man who
would make and execute an agreement
in writing. and then violate that agree
ment was not a proper man to have a
license.
The court refused the application for
a license. Thus Greenwood Joined the
ranks of dry towns.

What the Farmers are Doinq.

Much corn is being cut in some parts
of the county Just at present but the
work is slow and very high prices are
being paid by the farmers in order
to get the work done
Many farmers are now at work pick
ing their apples and a much better
crop is being harvested than was ex-
pected. Much cider and applebutter
are also being made and on account
of farm help being so scarce hundreds
Of bushels of apples will go to waste
as many farmers viii work at their
corn and let the apples go.
The late frosts have opened the
chestnut burrs and the country boys
are out gathering the nuts these morn
ings. The crop is not large but the
boys seem determined to get as many
as they can.

Broadway probably hasn't a show this

"The Tale of a Goose" have scored a
hit since the opening matinee on Mon
day John Ford & Company, in Lovers
and Lunatics" have a regular road pro-

 New York, Jan. 29 The first big surprise of the trial of Harry K. Thaw came to-day when Justice Fitz- gerald, on the motion of District At torney Jerome and with the consent of the attorneys for the man accused of the murder of Stanford White, an- nouneed that two of the jurors selected in the early days of the proceedings would be excused.
 Without any reflection on the jury men whatsoever said the presiding judge, Jurors Nos. 4 and will be ex- cused."
 The men in question are Arthur s, Campbell, a superintendent of tele- phone construction, and Harold R. Faire, printer and publisher of a pamphlet circulated in Wall street. The court room was crowded for the opening of the afternoon session when the announcement was made.
 'fBy agreement" said District Attor- ney Jerome, "the reasons for this ac- tion will not be made public, but they are of a business nature. Counsel rep- resenting the people and the defend ant have conferred with the court in regard to the matter )and 8 unani- nous decision was arrived at.

 Women and Children in Tears.
 Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 29.-At least fifty or sixty persons are dead as re- suit of an explosion in the Stewart coal mine near Fayetteville, in Fayette county, tonight, according to late re- ports received here, and it is expected the number will be increased by twen- ty-five.
 The explosion was caused by dust in the mine. Every effort is being made to get to the men who are entombed, but there is little hope that any of them are alive.
 At the time of the explosion there were about 200 men in the shaft, and there is grave apprehension that a great many of them were in the mine. The scene about the mine was pa- thetic one tonight men, women and children crying for their dear ones and imploring those on the ground to go to their rescue.
 The Stewart mine is shaft 56S feet deep. The development is in the Sew all seam, which ranges in thickness from four to five feet. The mine is To- cated on the White Oak Fuel compa- ny's private land, connecting with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Car lisle. It is about four miles from Fay etteville and seven miles from Thur mon. The mine has been in operation for three years or more, but has not | been fully developed.
 The permanent structures, such as head houses and tipples, have been completed within the last year. The manager of the mine is F. F. Dixon. The mill is owned by the Stewart Col fiery company. There were about twen- ty foreign miners killed, the other dead being Americans. A dozen negroes also lost their lives.

 Resumed This Morning.
 IA crowded court room marked the opening of the trial of Samuel Knox the negro indicted for murder in the first degree for the shooting of Fred erick M. Kelley in Church street near Grown on New Years night. Judge Case presides, The spectators gallery was crowded. Nearly one-half were colored people, syinpathizers or friends of Knox, and the remainder were friends of the luckless young man, Knox appeared cool and self-possessed and at one point even smiled broadly as something occurred of humorous nature. Crowds of colored people ar rived at 8 a. Tn., two hours before the case opened, and the court room door being unlocked they entered and made themselves at home. The crowd was so thick about the heating apparatus that the sheriff was obliged to scatter the throng around a little.
 At the close of the morning session only two jurors had been accepted, al- though more than a dozen had been called from the list of 6S jurors im- panelled. The first name called was that of Frank Foote of North Bran ford. After being examined by the state and cross- s-examined by counsel for Knox he was promptly excused by the defence. Tn rapid order the follow- ing was examined and excused either by the state or the defense; Richard H. Smith of Seymour, w. s. Osborn of Naugatuck, Homer l.. Bradley of North Haven, Evelyn H.. Upson of Wolcott, Charles c. LaForge of Ham den, Smith c. Wheeler of Oxford, E. w. Peck of Derby, Edward A. Holmes of Wolcott. Tn the case of some of those named the men were not pres ent, having been excused by the court for some reason. Most of those ex- cused were let off because of having formed an opinion or being opposed to capital punishment.
 Fred Draper of Naugatuck was the twelfth man called. and the first to be selected. One or two were excused after he was selected when Thomas Crane of Ansonia was examined and selected.
 The work of impanelling the re- mainder of the jury was resumed in the afternoon, and closed at about 4 o'clock.

POPE'S COMPROMISE NOT
 ACCEPTABLE TO FRANCE
CONDITIONS OF BISHOPS PROF oSITI0N NOT SATISFACTORILY

Minister of Education Briand Makes
 Short but Clear Response--In Cham
 Der of Deputies He Denies Vigorously
 That He Was Conceding to Clerical
 Pressure = Government Has Placed
 the Church in Legal Position in
 Spite of Herself.
 Paris, Jan, 29,-The proposition which the French bishops, with the approval of the pope, submitted to the govern ment seemed to offer the first real pros pect of an adjustment of the conflict between church and state under the separation regime, but tonight the hopes entertained by many were shat tered by Minister of Education Briand.
 The response made by the minister to the declaration of the bishops was short and clear. The minister said: The conditions are unacceptable"
 This rejection of the preferred settle ment was voiced in the course of the debate in the chamber of deputies on. the new public meetings bill the first section of which was adopted by an overwhelming majority. This bill pro- vtdes for the holding of meetings of all kinds without any previous declar- ation. The extreme socialists made vain endeavors to exclude religious ser vices from the scope of the bill, which they declared to be concession to the vatican, M. Briand, however, denied vigorously that he was conceding to clerical pressure, and pointed out the difficulties that would follow the ex- clusion of one body of French citizens from the rights granted to another body of citizens. He declared he al- ways had been moderate and concilia- tory, and even generous toward the church, and that he had thereby ob- tainef the support of the country When the church, however had enter ed upon illegal paths he had changed his attitude, and the church suffered defeat
 The minister then proceeded to ex- plain his present attitude concerning the decisions of the French episcopate. 'The treatening tone and the brutal ity of the declaration of the bishops has struck me as well as you. The conditions are unacceptable An i'm portant point is the circumstances un- der which they were laid down. The bishops caused the pope to adopt dec- laration admitting the possibility of an arrangement with the local authorities in the matter of the use of churches which previously had been declared impossible. That is not the position of victos.
 "The government has placed the church in a legal position in spite of herself, and that difficulties have aris- en, and will continue to arise is not surprising. The cabinet will face these difficulties, thanks to the support of the majority in the chamber. The opinion of this majority is clear, even if the text of the bisht1s enactments are not"
 The chamber adjourned at midnight
