Over them is sifted a tiny shower OF
sugar, which barely conceals the pur-
pie and yellow tints. These blossoms
cost as much as 80 cents. II every
guest should decide to eat one 1t can
be seen how much of an expense such
dish would be.
Among the candied fruits which are
to be found in all shops none costs SO
much as the candied mint. But 1t is
in the end less expensive than some
of the others because so little of it
is required. A pound of candied mint
costs more than four dollars But a
taste IS all that anybody requires. so
strong is the flavor. The old-fashioned
sugared violets have been almost en-
tirely superseded at dinner by the
new candied reproductions of the flow
ers. These colored flowers In candy
are arranged just as the natural flow
ers. There are not violets and rose
buds, jonquils and fieur de lis all in
one bonbonniere. The same color
scheme is maintained throughout all
the dishes. Just as the real jon
quils are grouped together in the
flower vases. so are the yellow sugar
blossoms placed together with no
other flower to break the color
scheme.

perforated papers and on them the

Barnes doesn't even answer her.

Tho Old Dogma and the New.

The Yale graduate whose diploma
dates back to the early '70s has seen
since then changes in the religious
life, functions and spirit of the uni
versity that would have amazed col
lege ancestors of the Puritan creed
He has seen the clerical unity OF the
corporation give place to non-cler-
lcal majority; university president
not clergyman break the clerical
succession of well nigh 200 years; the
old Congregational divinity school,
with such a roster as Taylor, Bacon
and Dwight. proclaim non-sectarian-
ism; the college graduating each year
more Episcopalians than Congrega-
tionalists Sunday services shifted to
Woolsey hall with sermons by preach
ers of diverse creeds; and such minor
looslng of the stern old regimen of
orthodoxy as the extinction of Sunday
chapel and of the afternoon Sunday
service. Another advance step in ra-
tional liberality is now made with the
Sunday opening of the art school col
lections and of Peabody museum TO
the public. To the young Of the pres
ent New England generation the in
cident may seem trivial. 1t in fact,
while small in itself, is another sign

CARE IN WASHING LAcEs.
Precautions Will Prolong Usefulness
of Dainty Garments.

Colored embroideries should be
washed in suds made of white soap in
moderately warm water They must
never be boiled nor allowed to lie wet
after washing. Instead. they should be
hung up Immediately to dry in a shady
place.
Sunlight will fade the colors, and
boiling or lying in a wet heap will
cause them to run.
An added orecaution well worth
adopting is to immerse the piece pre-
vious to washing it in water contain
ing cupful or two of vinegar the OBJ
ject being to neutralize the alkali of
the soap.
Embroidered and lace-trimmed
pieces should be taken from the line
while but half dry and Immediately
ironed TO secure the best result.
Never iron lace with the point of the
wrong side over several layers of
flannel covered with sheet of old
linen.
Never iron lace with the point of

VIOLENT sNEEzE BURST EYEBALL

The strain OF a violent sneeze burSI

in this optic. He was sitting on the
side Of bis bed when he had an attack
Of sneezing. The last sneeze was more
violent than its predecessors and Nc

by a physician today did Mr. Mc0llsh
know that his eye ball had burst like

Beyond a few incipient demonstra-
tlons, nothing occurred since dayoreak

cripple the Fire Department signal
service and place the city az the mer-
cy Of fire brands.
Two deaths at 81. Johns Hospital

was shot through the lungs Friday
night, succumbed at 4 O'Clock this
morning.
William Donnigau, a negro, 80 years
old, who was hanged TO a tree near
mis- home last night, died at midday,
after a remarkable fight for life. The
arrival Of more troops during the day
has served TO clinch the conditions OF
Quietude which prevail.
A systematic patrol has been ad-
opted. The Staying Of Kankakee youth
last night by a member Of the Second
Regiment while that body was in Kan
kakee, on It's way to Springfield led to
friction between the military and
civil officials.
AS a result, the Staying was investi-
| gated and Private j. B. Klein was ex-
onerated. The military officers de-
plore the occurrence, fearing II may
have a disquieting effect just as 1t is
believed peace was dawning.
Governor DeEeen and Brigadier
General E. G. Young, in charge OF the
troops, agreed last night that the crisis
OF the situation would be reached TO-
day and tonight. Ii Sunday saw a
cessation of the lynching and riotiug
that has made Friday and Saturday
memorable, the officials declared they
would take IL as evidence that the
spirit Of the mob had been broken and
the crest OF difficulties passed.
EFFORTS MADE TO CUT WIRES
The real scare OF the day came when
men were discovered on the roof Of the
Fire Departments headquarters ad-
joining the City Hall, hacking at the
wires which, il severed, would put every
tire-alarm box In the city out Of com
mission. Three commissary wagons
loaded WITH soldiers were rushed TO
the building, but the men escaped,
Firemen connected with the signal
service gasped at the idea Of what
may have resulted IL this attempt had
been successful. Springfield might
have been destroyed, they declare, II
several fires had been started at div
ers places.
Many rumors were spread through
out the day, connecting the militia
with the killing OF white men anc
negroes, but none was verified. The
prompt investigation OF the killing Of
Earl Wilson at Kankakee and trial Of
Private Kllen showed the citizens
that the militia would not partake Of
any unwarranted demonstrations In
