SCARFS SPANGLFD

The spangled or sequined scarfs are in great demand for neckwear, and the girl who is quick at spanelIng or beading can make one of these at lit- tie cost.
 Buy figured, dotted or rinEed net in black or white. in supple quality.
 Outline each figure, dot or ring with gold beads or tiny sequine and you have tho effect of the Syrian scarfs which cost from $15 to $2O.
 These are heavy and suitable for theater- roers of rather mature years.
 The younger girl should content herself with long, soft scarf of chiffon or figured net, trimmed with lace, or, best of all, fine crepe de chine in delicate coIorings.
 The latter may have deep hems with the owners monogram embroid- cred in self-tone on one end.

GIFTS FOR XMAS

It ifs never too early in the year to begin to make Christmas presents, and just now there are many new ideas which may be picked up even during q mornings walk. Take, for Instance, the matter of workings They may be made in all shapes and sizes, they may be fashioned of almost all materials, and when done they arc always useful
 This year cretonno Is particularly de- sirahle, and 1t may be purchased In many delightful designs. There is the hoavy corded variety; there Is the 5oCt rather translucent kind of domestic make, and there is the fascinating shadow cretonne, always SO dainty and pretty,
 As 10 the bags, there are the am plo ones made to draw up with rib- bon or those made on a stick. These last, by the way, are worth noticing Their contents are unlikely to get out of place, and little pockets may bo ar ranged all around them so each indl- vidual help to sewing may be quickly and easily found. The sticks on which they are made are purchased at almost any hardware store for 1 cent apiece, and they may be round or Hat like those used in the bottoms of window curtains
 Bags strung on ribbons need rings and the best arc of white bone. They arc for sale at art needlework shops and thpy rOgt ntt1a If Ie n ooOd idan to give the dainty lady a glove bag fitted with different colored cottons needles, scissors and thimhle.
 For the matron what could be nicer than a darning bag with china egg or one of the patent darners and scy- oral sizes Of 4arning needles?
 For the girl white bag" is nice This may have cotton, fine and coarse and an kinds of needles within.
 Bags mad be of other materials than cretonne. Little white embroidered bags are nice, and lovely ones are made | of large silk handkerchiefs or handana' Upright with color
 Bags may be round or fiat Eome ore built on a foundation of covered card, hoard, and the most beautiful of all arc of pompadour ribbon gathered round a fiat basket which forms the bottom, There Is hardly bit Of bright ma terial around the house that could mol bo fashioned into a charming gift that would well repay the work done upor 1t by the competent needlewoman,

FINE GIRLS KNOW

That chamois gloves are not appro- priatc to elaborate costumes. They are for service distinctly.
 That tan colored shoes are not the thing for formal occasions or French heelcd slippers for hreakfast.
 That gay mules, charming in the bedroom, are the essence of sloucn- mess in the drawing room or dining room.
 That a worn-out lace or chiffon frock Is bad form for lnockabout morning wear, Discarded party fin cry can be often utilized for fancy work.
 That hat loaded with feathers is unsuitable for a short tailored suit It also gtves sawed-off look to the wearer.
 That few women look well with plain lace or chiffon scarfs tied over the head. They should be made Into fluffy hood arrangements.
 That bedraggled or soiled white potticoat Is unpardonnble. With the modern fashion of having the skirt to the ankles, even under lingerie skirt, dinglness Is simply not excus- able
 That a tailored suit is not consid- cred smart for wearing to the theator in the evening Most girls can man age 10 own at least one dainty house frock though the materials are cheap.
 That the girl who rides in the street car should have a general utility even ing coat that is not SO light colored nor conspicuous.
 That nothing will more quickly ruin the appearance of gown than a crushed ruching or frayed or soiled hem to the skirt.
 That startling stockings are not re fined, no matter if they arc worn by some fashionable girl.

A CERTAINTY.

A lady in a southern town was ap- preached by her colored maid
 Well, Jenny?" she asked, seeing that something was in the air
 Please, Mis- Mary might I have the aftnoon off three weeks rum Wednes- day?" Then, noticing an undecided look In her mistress face, she added hastily-"I want to go to my finances fun'ral"
 "Goodness mo, answered the lady, Your fiance's funeral! Why you don't know that he's even going to die, let alone the date Of his funeral That is something We cant any Of us be sure about-~when we are going to die,"
 "Yes'm, said the girl doubtfully. Then, with a triumphant note in her voice-"I'se sure about him, Mis- eos he's goin' to be hung!"-Everybody $ Magazine.

SHOOTS HOLE IN TEMPLE

Montgomery, June 17-(Special. 1.-The the state were shocked today to hear that Mrs Henry B. Steagall, one of the best known young matrons of the state had taken her own life at the family home in Ozark. She arose at an early hour and went into the bathroom, where alone, she shot hole in her right tenn pie, death following shortly after.
 Mrs. Steagall had been i'll for long time, and was recently in d Montgomery infirmary. She had said lately that she was never going to be well again and only yesterday talked in blue and Respondent way of her condition This is supposed to have weighed on her mind so that she was not responsible for her acts. She was S7 years of age and a sister of Joseph o. Thompson, chairman of the Alabama republican committed
 Mr. Steagall was in Montgomery last night returning to his home this morn- after the shooting, which took place at 6 a. m. He is reported to be prostrated with grief and to be inconsolable over the great loss he has sustained. He took his wife home not many weeks ago after treatment here for serious troubles.
 The deceased woman was greatly be- loved. She had fire children, the young est being only ten months of age, and the eldest years. The funeral will take place at Ozark tomorrow.

ROOSEVELT WANTS
 MAN FROM THE WEST

Chicago, June 17.-(Special.) )-Senator Borah of Idaho, impatient over the de- lay in settling the vice presidency, called up the White House today seeking for information. Borah wants the place to go to a wetsern man. He prefers Sem ator Piles of Washington, who, by the way, Is native of Livingston county, Kentucky, went west, made $1,000,000 and is in the Senate, where he deserves to be. All the President would have to say to Borah pertained to the Iowa situation.
 The President in outlining the mat ter told Borah that either Cummns or Deliver would be satisfactory to him. A few minutes after this Manager Hitchcock got White House call, an1 was told to squelch all vice presiden- tial talk until Taft had been nominated Vice presidential history invariably points out ths futility of speculation Representative Tawney of Minnesota says tonight that Sherman of New York Is the man for the place.
 sherman is the only active candidate in the field worthy of consideration. He Is backed by Cannon, Tawney and the House organization. The other men are protesting that they won't take it. Chief among them is Fairbanks, for whom the delegates will vote as d unit if they get the word from the White house

PRESSMEN'S UNION
 ELECTS OFFICERS
President George L, Berry is
 Reelected
NEE TING IS HARMONIOUS
Differences Between Three Glasses of Pressmen Are Adjusted and To- days Session Will Be Most
 Peaceful of Meeting.

Mobile, June 17.-The third day of the convention of the International Printing Pressmen's and Assistants union brought forth the election of officers as the most important feature. The election resulted as follows, with the vote in the closely contested places:
 President, George L. Berry. San Fran cisco reelected without opposition.
 First vice president, w l.. Murphy. Butte, Mont, reelected
 Second vice president, Michael II. Flannery, Chicago.
 Third Vice President, Peter J. Breen, New York reelected.
 Secretary-treasurer, Patrick H. Mullen. Chicago, reelected.
 Mir, Mullen received 1O9 votes out of A. total of 172 having two opponents. The result of the election indicated entire sat isfaction on the part of the organization with the Berry administration and tho work of the executive board. composed of the officers, all being reelected ex- cept MT. Warrington, who declined to stand for reelection.
 The work of the credentials committee sprung an early morning fight, but har- moniIus action was restored In short or der
 Rising to a point of special privilege, Delegate Crowley of Holyoke, Mass, made remarkable plea for harmony among the members. His plea was on account of the fight nfade against Repre- sentative Randall of Toronto He closed with motion to seat the Toronto dele- gate. Representative r. c. Webb of the Pressman and the Feeders concurred in the stand of Delegate Crowley. The change in this temper of the convention toward Toronto and the Canadian unions was very remarkable. Amid tumultuous scenes MT Randall was unanimously seated, and was called on for remarks about the Canadian situation. He pledged his word again to try his utmost to have the assessment money paid into the in- ternational treasury and promote har- money between Canada and America
 Every indication tonight is that bet ter understanding has been reached by the three classes of press workers and tomorrow it will it is believed, see one of the most harmonious meetings ever held by the organization The threat ened split in the convention appears to have been forestalled and prevented, and the question of jurisdiction may be am- icably decided.

Eufaula, June 17.-(Special )-Citizens of Clio are looking to preparations for the entertainment of the Barbour County Confederate veterans, who will hold their annual reunion in that city on July 24. Mayor A. L. Mclean of that place is ne- gotiating to secure the services of the military band of this city, and an old fashioned barbecue will perhaps be an interesting feature of the programme Judge w. H. Pruett, who is president of the association, will correspond with Sem ator Joseph F. Johnston in an effort to secure him to deliver an address and to speak on the occasion. President Pruett says invitations are open to all who may desire to participate in the exer- cises and invitations will not be confined simply to Barbour county veterans, as has heretofore been the custom.
 Judson c. Chapman, vice president, and A. H. Collatt of the proposed electric road to connect this city with Opelika, spent yesterday here. The day was con- stunned in examining the various surveys for entering the city, with view of reaching some conclusion upon a specific route. As soon as this can be determined upon by the projectors meeting of tile city council will be immediately called to grant franchise The officials will go over the route as far as Pittsborough, looking into details, and will then re- turn here when some conclusion will be reached. MT. Chapman is very emphatic in his statement that the road will most assuredly be built and thinks the work will be fairly under headway within the next month or two.
 Six hundred and seventy-two bales of cotton turned upon the streets for ship ment yesterday is an unusual sight for the season. Louis Gay, prominent Quit man county, Georgia, farmer, who re- sides about 15 miles from the city, turned loose his holdings, amounting to 606 bales In one lot, while there were other smaller lots sold. A. J. Miller of this city, rep resenting Wiel Bros., of Montgomery, was the purchaser.

NO PLAGUE IN ST. THOMAS.
Many Erroneous Reports Have Been
 Sent Broadcast.

New York, June 17.-Emphatic and thoroughly substantiated denials have been received in New York from the Island of St. Thomas, Danish West Indies, in the matter of the misappre- hension existing in the United States concerning the reported presence of the bubonic plague on the island.
 St. Thomas is port of call for nearly all the steamship lines running to the West Indies, and it Is trans shipping point for much West Indian cargo, and the erroneous reports have caused great Reorganization in and suffering to local and inter-insular business.
 There are absolutely no signs of the bubonic plague in St. Thomas and there never have been any.
