FOUR MEET AWFUL DEATH
The Victims Literally Cooked
Alive.
10 OTHERS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
Rv the Upsetting Of a Metal Pot in a
Pennsylvania Steel Plant Four ace
Killed Outright and Thirty VIII
Die.

Butler, Pa, Special-An explosion
caused by the upsetting of the metal
not in the Ne. / cupola OF the Stand
ard Steel Company here late Satur-
dav caused the death of four men, IA
tally injuring 20, and seriously injur-
inc 10 others. Nearly all of the men
were foreigners.
The large wheel plant, $50 by 100
feet, was demolished, causing a loss
estimated at 100000.
The dead are:
Nick Dorna,
Nicholas Blotar.
John Vereck,
Unknown man.
The condition of the 80 men injur-
ed is pitiable. Although still alive
the features of a majority are mutilat-
ed beyound recognition. The hot
metal was showered over them, caus-
inc horrible injuries. Arms, fingers
and ears were town, while a number
of men had their eyes burned out.
Several men are in the hospital with
their legs burned to a crisp. At mid
night the physicians attending the
injured said that at least 20 of the
men would die.
The explosion was caused by the up
setting Of a metal pot in the cupola,
which contained 5000 pounds of mol
ten metal ready for casting. A span
in the pot broke, allowing the liquid
iron to spill over the wet sand. An
explosion followed so quickly that
none of the workmen in the building
had a chance to escape. Streams Of
the burning metal poured out on the
workmen who we're literally cooked.
Twenty men near the cupola had
every shred of clothing blown off by
the force of the explosion. Many
were buried under the wreckage and
were not rescued for an hour after
the catastrophe. When the flames
shot from the burning cal works
fully 10000 people rushed to the
scene blocking streets and interfer-
ing with fire companies and ambulan-
ces. Through lack of room many Of
the injured were compelled to lie for
an hour on cots in street cars before
it was possible to take them to the
hospital a mile and a half away
Members of the fire department and
citizens assisted in caring for the men
who were totally naked and suffering
itensely with the cold.

Fashions in Belts.

With the departure of the corselet skirt
the ceinture is receiving renewed attention
and is. as of yore, capable of making or
marring costume. Any one can arrange
ceinture in fashion. but only the first
class modiste recognizes the full worth Of
bestowing the most careful attention on
what in appearance is merely folded or
fitted belt. The one in vogue at present is
only shaped at the upper edge. A very
common mistake Is found in the deusion
that ceinture can be relied upon to pull
a doubtful fit into law and order at the
waist, whereas all that can justifiably be
expected Of this adjunct is that it accentu-
ates a fit already conSummated. And
when, oh, when will the lady of embon-
point recognize that a buckle worn at the
back Is the sole prerogative of the elegant
ly slim figure.

The Rainy Day Costume.

1t may not be fashionable to go about
in rainy weather but 1t is, nevertheless,
often necessary, and in every outfit there
should be one costume that is suitable for
inclement weather. An old cloth suit is
generally relegated to this sort of wear
and is often excellent for the purpose but
frequently the only suit that Is old enough
for the purpose is too elaborate to be ap-
propriate. The simpler the rainy day suit
the better, and there must be no plaits
or trimmings to be ruined by the damp
ness. The skirt should be some inches
shorter than the regular walking skirt
and should be sufficiently full to be be-
coming, but just stated must have no
plaits which would require the skirt to be
pressed after each outing. A plain tailor
made jacket of three-quarter length Is
the smarter and the sleeves should be
long, for long gloves are quite inappropri-
ate for this style of dress.

Fashion Notes.

Velvet, either plain or ribbed, is the ma
terial Of the hour for all ceremonial after
noon gowns. There are lovely shades Of
brown, green and red velvet shown, for
these are among the fashionable colors of
the season.
One exquisite velvet gown was in the
most delightful shade of silver gray en-
broidered with chenille floss and silver.
The sleeves and corsage were of point
d'Angleterre, trimmed with embroidered
satin. The hat worn with this costume
was of blue velvet trimmed with sable and
feathers
Some of the tailor-made costumes are
severely plain, others are most deliberately
braided. Some &of the most exclusive mod
els have reyers and collar faced with vel
vet of a contrasting color
Black wells with velvet and chenille dots
are smart. The only colored ones worn
are the brown, single-thread mesh with
tiny dots. Wells are not worn now under
the hats.

Artificial Flowers.

Artificial flowers and fruits are in such
favor this season that few women con-
slider even a morning costume complete
without at least few green leaves tucked
into the trimming on their hats. worn in
a bunch at the belt or pinned to a coat like
d bouquet.
For evening wear both flowers and fruits
are particularly smart and have been
adopted alike by the debutante and elderly
matrons for formal receptions. theater par
ties and for quiet evenings at home when
either high or low neck frocks are donned
OF course the size and quantities of bios
SONS used depends alike upon the age and
physique OF the wearer. and incidentally
the kind OF flowers selected must be in

For the hair young women use lilies of
the valley, asparagus vines and other
dainty punches or wreaths of green leaves,
with an occasional bright red rose. or one
orchid the head dress, however. is small
Exactly opposite are those worn by elderly
matrons, for instead of small leaves they
choose UNNECESSARILY hats of roses, tulips
or other mixed flowers in gay colors. mixed

theater these flowers are most effective.

Silk Blouses Revived.

The finest white lingerie and cobweb
waists have been worn all through the
autumn with any style of cloth suit or
separate skirt, and by a number of wom-
en- this style Of bodice will not be laid
aside throughout the winter, but will be
worn over a thin silk or lawn slip. 1t is
a question whether or not it Is economical
to wear these white waists SO commonly
The principle is, of course, that instead of
having to be cleaned the bodice Can be
laundered each week, and then, only the
finer waists are permissible, and these
wear out quickly under constant washing
and II worn continually beneath a heavy
cloth coat The silk waists do not seem
more expensive than those of so-called
wash materials.

Flowers. whether autumn leaves or beauti-
full blossoms, are strikingly pretty on either
dark or light hats, and equally appropriate
for afternoon or business wear.

orchids that are worn on the corsage of
evening gowns, nothing prettier in decora-
ton has been devised for woman's USE
These are made up of blossoms and green
leaves twisted together in a vne-like shape

single vine that may be fastened at the
shoulder and draped crosswise to the waist

A Laundry Lesson.
From Harper's Bazaar

Tablecloths should be ironed on both
sides. If they are of good quality, are well
mostened. and then ironed until dry, they
will have quite enough stiffness and gloss.
If they are worn SO thin that they become
limp by once using, take what starch is
left after the other clothes have been
starched and dilute 1t with water enough
to rinse the tablecloth. Dry, sprinkle and
iron as usual. The thinned starch is just
enough to give some body to the soft old
linen.

A New Eur Wrap.

An unusual fashion in fur collars is to
be found this season. 1t is a large boa
shaped collar which is separate from the
pelerine cape, wrap stole with which 1t
is worn. 1t is attached in the center of
the back and again to the fronts, but Is
quite movable the rest of the way around
the neck This wrap is faced with the
same fur except inside the cape, which is
lined with satin.

The bolero. in Eton shape, was of caracal,
almost covered with fine braiding. 1t was
worn over severe shirt front and a waist

The Parisiennes are noted for the beauty
of their wells. They understand better than
the women of other nations the value of
a becoming length of spotted net. This
winter there is Il distinct revival of the
pale blue tue veil, spotted with black
chenille and edged with a narrow plated
frll. This is the veil to wear with chin
chila and sable toques. 1t is also the veil
for wintry day if the complexion be clear
and sufficiently bright. Pale blue is much
more fiattering to the complexion than the
average woman believes, much more so
than the various shades of pink, which are
enormously called beauty wells" There is
a certain shade of this nuance that is fiat
tering to the skin, but it cannot be bought
in the ordinary shop. and even at it's best
cannot be worn by all women. There is an
elegance about the pale blue veil spotted
with black, and it is especially attractive
when combined with a marabou set in the
natural shade.
