HARRISON & Gillespie Bros.
Held at Bay by Wife and Cowhlded by
Husband.

Roanoke, Va, April 22-While Mrs.
Barksdale held John Grenway at bay
with a revolver, r. N. Barksdale pro-
ceeded to administer thrashing with a
cowhide in the Eagles Home this morn
ing. 1t appears that Barksdale met
Grenway on the street and told him that
ne wished to speak to him privately.
They went into the Eagles Home and
there Mrs. Barksdale was waiting, and
while she held Grenway at bay with a
revolver, Mr.. Barksdale applied the
lash. There were only few persons in
the building at the time.
Barksdale, who is a railroad man and
has not long been a resident of Roa-
noke, claimed that Grenway had made
some remarks about his wife which he
resented. Grenwav had warrants sworn
out for Mr.. and Mrs. Barksdale, charg-
ing them with assault. The case will
not come up for hearing until Friday.

The Confederate Veterans Of TaZeVell
County Have a Happy Gathering.
BROWN-HARMAN CAMP
ELECTS OFFICERS
After These Are Elected and Delegates to
the Reunion at Richmond We're Named,
a Beautiful Dinner Was Served at the
Jacksonville Hotel.

1t has been many day since as many
old Confederate soldiers were seen on
the streets of Tazewell as gathered
here-on last Tuesday. There were per-
haps two hundred or more. They came
together to attend meeting of Brown
Harman Camp of Confederate veter-
ans, to select delegates to the coming
Confederate Reunion at Richmond, and
to meet and enjoy a dinner which had
been provided by the solicitations Of
a number of the ladies in the town.
At eleven o'clock a meeting of
rown-Harman Camp was held in the
court house, with H. C. Anderson, Com
mander, presiding, and A. st. Clair
acting as secretary. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing
year: A. j. Tynes, Commander; Jas.
p. Whitman, Assistant Commander; T.
P. Bowen, Adjutant; Charles T. Scott,
Commissary; DIR. j. R. Gildersleeve,
Surgeon; Rev. J. Tyler Frazier, Chap
lain; S. c. Graham, Treasurer; A. A.
Thompson, Sergeant-Major.
The following were elected delegates
to the reunion at Richmond: Chas. w.
Crockett, Capt. Henry Bowen, S. C.

sleeve.
At IL o'clock all the veterans present
were requested to repair to the Jeffer-
sonville Hotel and partake of bounti-
full dinner which had been prepared for
them. About one hundred and fifty ac-
cepted the invitation, and they enjoyed
the excellent dinner served by Mr.. and
Mrs. Kelly, with good old Confederate
appetites. 1t was bright and happy
occasion, but it also had it's sad features
as well as it's bright ones. Many old
comrades who had been present at for
mer reunions were absent, taps having
been sounded for them; and it was also
realized that before another annual re-
union could come many others of the
old gray-haired veterans would pass
away. We saw and talked with num-
ber of those who attended the gather
ing, and they all said it was the most
pleasant reunion they had ever attend

Washington, April %. Secretary of
War Taft and his party arrived shortly
after eleven o'clock AZ the Washington
navy yards on board the Mayfower to-
night, after an absence of exactly a
month on trip that included Panama,
Cuba and Porto Rico. The Secretary
and Mrs. Taft were Immediately driven
to their residence.

were the guests of the secretary of the
war on the return trip. Others in the
party included Representative Burton,

Senator Kittredge, of South Dakota,
and Miss Marguerite Ide.
Later Secretary Taft gave out a
statement in which he says he four
matters in Cuba in "what under the
circumstances must be considered a
very satisfactory condition. The sec
retary said that there is every ground
for the hope that the plan adopted for
a census and primary election and then
a general election six months later
which will result in the selection of a
president and congress who will be able
to maintain themselves and give stable
rule to the island; and that the delay in
taking the census was taken by the
Cubans as an earnest of the American
governments desire to secure a stable
government before it leaves, $50 there
shall be no excuse for a second inter-
vention."

SNOWY EMBROIDERY ON PoNGEE
WAIST.

Waists are charming this fall, and
the new designs win admiration, even
from those who have watched them
develop during the summer. Beautiful
little suits of pOngees are made in
jumper fashion for fall wear, while the
front of the waist is beautifully done
in embroidery in Japanese style.
One very lovely heavyweight pongee
jumper suit had the whole front of the
waist trimmed with SNOWY embroidery
in the japanese colors, with blue pre-
dominating. The embroidery was in
the long japanese stitch design with
great flowers worked through the pat
tern and with long flower stems ex-
tending toward the belt line.
Another very pretty lightweight
waist to wear under the heavy winter
coat is the blouse of flet lace over silk
or over chiffon This is a waist that
is dressy and convenient. 1t can be
easily made upon plain inexpensive
lines, for it needs no trimming at all.
The lining may be trimmed with tiny
bands of silk if one so desires. The
soft filet lace over its silk or its creamy
chiffon lining makes a very comfOrta BILE
and becoming blouse for wear under
winter coat.

BELT NOVELTIES SEEN THIS
FALL.

The belt question rises anew each
time one considers ones wardrobe.
What belt shall be worn and how shall
the belt be made? Shall it be wide
and fitted TO the figure or narrow and
worn around the waist line as a tiny
finish to the gown? These are but a
few of the questions asked when one is
considering ones belt.
The best of the new belts, the most
expensive. and the belts that are
selected by those who count as among
the best dressed women of society. are
of only medium width. But what the
belt lacks in width it makes up in orna-
ment Cut leather, embroidered silk,
handsome braiding upon satin, delicate
traceries of silk upon a background of
chiffon over silk, these are just few
of the designs to be noted when one is
studying the new belts of the season
One of the pretty things Of fall is the
cut leather belt. which is to be worn
over a color. A lovely design is cut
in the leather and the entire belt is

JAPANESE VOGUE IN WOMEN S
CLOTHES.

The japanese vogue has as yet by nc
dominant in wraps for afternoon and
theater wear; also in boudoir gowns
and certain dress accessories, such as
embroideries and umbrella handles.
Many of the latter are made of costly
carved ivory, a group of heads being
the leading novelty. Cloisonne work is
used for the same purpose. and gro
tesque animal and birds heads make up
a number of the more expensive UNI
brella handles, others being composed
of jade, amethyst and onyx elaborated
with gold work.
Japanese embroideries are also shown
in separable motifs and in combination
with lace and other materials, many of
the designs being suitable for applique.
Many of these last are of Partisan
origin, although Japanese in character,
there can be no doubt. These Oriental
embroideries will find favor as narrow
vestees for coats.
Brocaded effects in machine-loom
woven bands are shown as an imitation
of these Japanese embroideries. They
are pretty and are cheap enough to
meet a popular demand for Oriental
effects.
Velvet appliques are combined with
embroideries in some of the newest
They show CLEANS of tinsel
in gold or silver, or both, and are in
floral and foliage patterns.

FROGS LEGS.

~ OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

A travelled friend is trying to teach
us to eat frogs legs.
! There is a pond at the foot of a
i meadow back of our house that has
/ up to this summer, been a nuisance on
account of the believing of the frogs.
They peep all the spring and below
all the midsummer nights.
Our visitor tells great stories of the
dishes to be evolved from the legs of
, the musicians, and when he went gum
ming last night and brought home f1f-
teen pairs of headquarters, as white
as chicken, and really not repulsive to
the eye, whatever they may be to
the imagination, / was willing to please
him by cooking them.
l fried them for breakfast, and those
of us who could overcome our early
prejudices against the dish ate and
liked them.
In the prospect of a repetition of the
expedition, will you kindly tell us some
other ways of cooking the amphibious
delicacy?
E. T. NJ. (HyattsviIIe, Ohio.
Dip the legs in egg, then in cracker
crumbs; set upon the ice for an hour
and fry in good dripping or in butter.
They should be freed from the fat
and of golden brown on the outside.
Or, if you weary of one way, try my
favorite recipe of:
FROGS LEGS A LA PROVENCALE.
Heat three tablespoonfuls of butter
in saucepan, and when it Kisses drop
in the legs and cook for five minutes.
Transfer them, then, to a covered
deep dish-a casserole if you have one
and keep hot while you drop a table
spoonful of minced parsley and tea
spoonful of minced chives into the hiss
ing butter.
A minute later turn the contents of
the saucepan into the casserole, sift a
tablespoonful of fine crumbs over all,
cover the casserole and cook gently for
half an hour. Send to table in the dish
in which they were baked.
Fricasseed frogs legs are also good.
You characterize them Alright in speak
ing of them as a delicacy.
