Washing Embroidery.

Great care should be used in wash
ing silk embroideries. Even the best
silk will not bear having soap rubbed
upon 1t. One should use warm water
not hot, and suds made from some
pure soap. With reasonable care white
silk embroideries can be. laundered
many times without turning yellow.
which is generally the result of too
hot water and poor soap or cheap
washing powders.

TRAGIC FATE BLIGHTS
LIFE OF AMBASSADOR

TT is the irony of fate that at the
i height of his career. with no
blemish on his reputation, and
through no fault OF his own.
Baron speek Won Sternburg. should
German ambassador, should stand
upon the brink Of diplomatic and
social oblivion. But such is the
tragic fact. A cancerous growth, ter
ribly dishguring the ambassadors
face. has apparently ruined beyond
repair career full OF promise and
the social prospects OF his beautiful
American wife. and It is understood
here that Germany will send another
ambassador some time within the
next six months.
The baron caught this infection Of
the face. the nature OF which physi-
clans do not seem 10 understand
clearly. during his service for the
kaiser In India. and within the last
year II has developed in the hideous
fashion peculiar to such attacks,
spreading well over one side Of his
face. He has, however, made a brave
fight from the start. appealing to the
foremost medical authorities Of this
country and Europe for aid. and hii
Mexico Missouri message., 1907-07-18

plucky effort to prevent the disease
from spelling his diplomatic career
has won the keen sympathy of Wash.
ington people.
The baron hurried across the water
as soon as congress adjourned last
spring and subjected himself to a
heroic course OF treatment at health
resorts. From these places he went
10 the German Spas for the help they
could give him. Reports that have
reached this country. however. are 20
the effect that he has no more than
held his own. The Disagreement con-
tinues. His friends here. then, felt
no little apprehension when they saw
a notice that Baron and Baroness
speck Won Sternburg had been COM
manded to take breakfast with the
kaiser. Sure enough within day o.
two after the ambassador was the
guest of his ruler a German paper
which frequently has the right tip
on court affairs published a report
that sternburg would be recalled.
This was denied very mildly. indeed.
by oficials OF the German foreign Of.
nee. They stated that there was nc
intention to recall Sternburg "ai
present" or words 10 that effect.

CONTROVERSY OVER THE
FAIRBANKS BIRTHPLACE

Much was made OF a picture in
the book representing the house In
which Mr.. Fairbanks was born. AS
the house was burned few years
after his birth and no picture had
been taken of It, Mr.. Fairbanks at
the request OF Mr.. Smith (my father)
made a rough pencil sketch from
memory which was dressed up for
publication" This, Mr.. Smith says.
is all the connection Mr., Fairbanks
had with the picture.
In the autobiography Mr. Smith
says Mr.. Fairbanks was four years OF
age when the cabin was burned, and
Indianians are pointing to the asser-
ton that Mr.. Fairbanks can sketch
with accuracy a building that was de-
stroyed when he was four years old
as a demonstration Of his wonderful
memory.

PRESIDENT ORDERS CUT
In CANAL ZONE EXPENSES

VIZ ASHINGToN.-By direction OF
w the president there 10 20 be an.
other reorganization OF the isthmian
canal commission. This time the
principal branch Of the commission
affected will be that In Washington
which has been executing the orders
Of Chief Engineer Goethals with
reference to the dispatch of labor and
supplies TO the canal zone. Now.
however, the president has given I'm.
perative instructions that the most
rigid economy consistent with the
highest degree Of efficiency" shall be
the policy. AS result an order has
been issued abolishlng the auditors
ONCE and placing the work OF auditing
the accounts OF the commission under
the auditor for the war department.
The purchasing business will be in.
trusted to an officer Of the army.
Joseph Bucklin Bishop of New
York. who has been in charge of the
Office here since the reorganization
some months ago. may proceed to the
isthmus and perform the duties OF
secretary there. The advisablIity Of
this action is now under considera-
ton. The president has stated en-
phatically that Mr.. Bishop must be
retained at his salary of $4,000 per
annum. David r. Ross, purchasing
agent, and Ernest S. Benson. general

auditor, who also received $4,000
each, have resigned. The former win
probably be succeeded by MAJ. Hodges
Of the engineering corps OF the army.
whose army pay will be increased to
5000.
II is said the president expects
criticisms OF the cLnal administration
during tho next session, both from
Democrats and from representatives
OF that element In his own party
which is not in sympathy with his
policies generally. As rigid economy
is the surest way to avoid just criti.
cisn, he has instructed Secretary
Taft to cut expenses TO the bone,
while at the same time seeing TO II
that the dirt is kept flying,
Secretary Taft has forwarded to the
president reports showing that, ex'
