War Department is Worried.

Washington, Dec. 2s.-In answer
to the question as to whether II has
been determined to suspend the op-
Grafton of the order for the with
drawal of troops rrom Goldfield the
reply was made at the war depart
ment today that IL would be for the
president to determine that question
but IL any disposition was shown by
the governor of Nevada to call the
legislature in special session to
deaf with tho subject OF the disor-
tiers In the mining section the war
department probably will be willing
to permit the United States troops
to remain at Goldfieid reasonable
length of time up to about three
weeks in order to enable the legis-
qature to meet and pass necessary
legislation upon the subject.
The war department is partic-
ularly desirous of being relieved
from the charge that 1t is maintain
ing the troops there in defiance of
the constitutional provision that
troops should be regularly called for
by a legislature.
War Department is Embarrassed.
In fact the war department is be-
ing considerably embarrassed by
the present status of affairs in Gold
field.
President Roosevelt is non-com-
initial and while he has the authority
to order troops to or from Goldfield,
he appears to have dismissed the
matter for the time being while the
war department is being blamed for
conditions.
Too Many Strings.
1t is said that the mine operators
are taking advantage of every
means to keep the troops in Gold
field. On the other hand the min
ers are determined to force the
withdrawal of the troops.
1t was believed when the troops
went to Goldfield that there would
be an outbreak on the part of the
miners unless the troops were sent.
The mines, however, by continued
good behavior have placed the offi-
cials in a most embarrassing posi-
ton.
The war department desires the
troops Withdrawn and unless the
| legislature asks that they remain
the president will undoubtedly pu
the order for their removal in force

HOW TO LIGHTEN A ROOM.

Not only should there be yellow on
the walls, but also on the ceiling, for
the sake Of the reflection. A pretty
treatment is to have light pumpkin
yellow on the walls as far as the pic
ture molding and a lighter shade
above this and on the ceiling. Then
yellow silk sash curtains, pulled back,
tend to make a room sunny
Brass can make wonderful differ
ence to a dreary room. A large jar

dark corner will tighten up most mar
vellously The andirons, too, will give
a CHEEKY reflection, even candlesticks

of brass in a sunless room cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Mirrors

The fancy bodices there shown are
built with an eye to the human frame,

Little Touches That viii DO Much

No one wants a gloomy room, but
what to do with such room is a
problem that has bothered more than
one.
Many woman has foregone inside
curtains and even sash curtains to al
low all the light possible to come into
the room. but still It looks dreary
It is not as much the light that one
needs as the sunshine, and when this
cannot be had one must make it, or
rather get the effect of It.
A room with a northern aspect
should not. of course, be papered in
blue, or some such cold color, but
rather in rich, warm tones of olive
green, brown, red or yellow. If the
room gets but little light and sun
shine, yellow should be the choice.
