acts. The defense then called william
and Joseph Ward. sons Of the couple

their father with a bread knife be-
tween the time of the breaking Of the
go-cart and the alleged assault on the
mother.
In rebuttal the state called Mrs
Ward. who declared thar she was in
possession Of all her senses on the

acter offered by the testimony Of Henry
B. Thompson, George Mcintyre. Moses

start in on a system OF improvements
for the island. is particularly interest
ing, in view Of his recent effort to
loan out to the banks Of Cuba a large
part of the money in the Cuban treas
ury. The banks were so prosperous
that they promptly and politely de-
clined the offer.
Under the American administration
OF Cuban affairs. the income of the
islands has exceeded the expenditures,
by about 100000 a month more than
was the case under the administration
Of President Palma. There is now
about $4,000. 900 in the treasury. This
accumulating surplus was beginning 20
be embarrassing to Governor Magoon,
and in view of the refusal Of the In
sular banks to come to his assistance
bv taking part Of the funds off his
hands. so that the money would not
be living idle, he has come 70 the con-
clusion to carry out some Of the work
previously planned. The Cuban Con-
gress appropriated s5.OOO.OOO for the i'm
provement of roads in the island
These estimates he has carefully
scaled down. but he has decided TO
expend four-fifths of the amounts re-
commended by the Congress. The
work is to be begun in Pinar del Rio
Province. which is the greatest tooac-
co producing province.
The Cuban Congress following the
practice that is well known in % the
United States Congress. also provides
a pork barrel in the shape OF ap-
preparations for the construction OF
buildings and the repair Of existing
structures in different parts Of the
island, and upon this and other public
works, Governor Magoon intends 70
expend S4,oO0,0OO more. The proposed
purchase Of certain church property
i'm Havana for use as customs offices
involving S2,OOO.OOo has been held up
pending appraisement.

PAPER CLOTH
MAKING MILLS

BY Our Own Wire. Publishers Press.
WASHINGTON. May 15>-Announce-
ment is made through the consular
agency Of the government that the
German inventor OF psser cloth from
which garments are being made in
tends starting mills in the United
States. Experts on paper yarn, have
reported that the necessary raw ma
terial is abundant. and Of fine quality,
in the United States. The process
of preparing the new thread and yarn
is a secret one and is patented in all
civilized countries.
Consul Carl b. Hurst. Of Plauen,
Germany, who at the request OF the
Bureau of Manufacturers investigated
the paper cloth, reports that xylohn
combines the good qualities of
cotton and linen at one-third the
price Of cotton and one-tenth price of
linen. II is more readily dyed than
cotton or linen and thus lends itself
TO more delicate shades. 1t is strong
enough to be made into Canvas
shoes, hats. and wall hangings. and
Consul Hurst says that the cost of the
material for a full three-piece suit OF
clothes Of medium thickness and aver
age weight is not over 81. Being woven
IL possesses sufficient porosity to make
a hygienic garment. He says:
although there seems to be no limit
to the uses to which the paper yarn
can be put. fashion win have to take
up the new material before il can be
worn as mems and women's clothing.
While possessing most of the good
qualities of fashionable stuffs. il may
lack in finish and style the appearance
OF finer grades Of woolen goods; but
II really makes little difference wheth-
er the paper-woven garment becomes
the vogue or not, as its many admir-
able qualities coupled with excessive
cheapness. are bound to make it an
article Of practical and far-reachins
benehcence."

Revers Of light blue silk stitched
with the narrowest of silk soutache
braid trim the front of the coat, which
is fitted. except at the front where II
hangs in loose effect, lacking about six
inches of meeting. The collar matches
the revers and both are bound with
folds Of narrow blue silk. Beyond the
revers the coat is laid In broad plaits,
which lengthen the shoulders and the
sleeves are elbow puffs finished simply
with bands of silk over which en-
broidered linen cuffs are worn.
The dressmakers show striking indi-
viduality of line in designing these
little coats. and herein is the secret OF
their success.
Finishing the costume is a mush-
