MAKING OF LACE.
An Industry That Is Little known in
America.

Plauen. Germany, Aug. Am in
dustry which is little known in
America is the manufacture of lace.
Aside from the Mexican drawn work
of the south very little attempt is
made by Americans to produce high
grade lace. On the other hand, many
cities on the continent, such as
Nottingham, Calais and Plauen, de-
pend largely upon the manufacture of
lace for their employment. The city
OF Plauen last year produced en-
broidery lace to an estimated value of
100000 marks Ca mark equals 23.S
cents). OF this only about one-fifth is
retained in Germany and the rest is
exported to other countries, especial
ly the United States and England.
The modern work may be said to
date from 1857, when the first hand
machine for making embroidery was
introduced from Switzerland, but it
was not until 1881, when Herr Bickel,
at Plauen, originated the idea of en-
broidering on tulle, that the speciality
was started that has since made
Plauen famous. The idea of embroid-
ering on net was later followed by
that of embroidering on material to
be chemically removed so as to leave
only the embroidered lace itself.
In considering lace work in the
Plauen district it may be noted that
lace can be made Iby three separate
methods, being known as needle, pill
low and machine.
Needle lace is made with the needle

SEWERS DIDN'T WORK.
Water Four Feet Deep on Kansas
Avenue on North Side.

A small section of North Topeka
was flooded again last night. Consid-
ering the things which have happened
to North Topeka during the past five
wears, this sounds serious, but 1T is not.
1t is simply the result of the poor sew
err facilities of three or four low spots
on the North side. The flood, which
was four feet deep in some places. was
plain rain water, and not a breakout
from either of the streams. The low
place at Saywell street and Kansas
avenue got a large portion of the sur
face water, which ran away so slowly
through the inadequate sewers, that
the street car company used horses to
haul its cars for two blocks this fore
noon because the motors were under
water. The water was still two feet
deep at this point at noon today, but
is fast receding. The streets around
Park and Van Buren, were also under
water, and the cellars, which have
been cleaned at great expense since
the last food, were again filled with
surface water. In this district an ice
wagon broke through "a sewer this
morning, and was unloaded before 1t
could be extricated. Citizens living in
the low places waded to their work
this morning. sticking close to the
sidewalks because the streets were I'M
safe. Many people who drove out in
their buggies. drove on the sidewalk
on account of suspected cave-ins m
the street.
Another low spot where some DAM
age was done, is just south of the Cen
trail avenue bridge over Soldier creek
Shunganunga is high but did not
overflow the banks.

by hand and lace so mace was called
old times needle" or point lace.
Pillow lace is made by Interviewing
by hand the various threads around
pins stuck in a pillow Machine made
lace is a quite recent development,
but embraces a good many systems.
Hand embroidery is still employed
in upper Vogtland, and is made with
either a regular sewing needle or with
the tambour needle. 1t is made on a
cotton or linen ground. Both needle
and pillow lace are occasionally to be
found also, though only to limited
extent. The manufacture of hand en-
broidered blouses and robes. also of
the socalled 'Battenberg' articles
little tapes joined together by needle
work-still fiourishes in this section.
Eibenstock is the largest hand en-
broidery center, and has a reputation
of rich designs and fancy work. To
larger extent it is noted for Its bead
embroideries. Polished Bohemian
beads of various colors and spangle
made from a mixture of gelatine and
cellulose are sewn on by hand and
used to make dress trimmings, edg-
ings skirts, collars, belts, etc. Bead
embroideries made on black tulle and
beadwork formed on metal tulle also
have a good sale.

TO ARREST DAYHOFF.
Will Be Brought to Topeka to Answer
Libel Charge.

Sheriff John Wilkerson went to Kan
sas City today to arrest /. L. DayhOff.
former state superintendent of instruc-
tion of Kansas, on a charge of criminal
libel. This is the criminal end of the
case brought against him by Mrs. Ella
Burton. a former educator, whom
Dayhoff attacked in his paper.
Mrs. Burton secured a judgment
against Dayhoff in the civil case,
wherein she asked for damages, in
district court at the spring term. The
decision was appealed by Dayhoff, and
the criminal libel end of the case.
which arose from the same articles
published in the Dayhoff paper, was
left for a later date. The warrant for
Dayhof has been out for some time.
Mr.. Dayhon. although IL is presumed
that he was not hiding from the Of
ficers. has been leading a very quiet
life since the time of the damage suit.
He was located last night ny Sheriff
Wilkerson in Kansas City, where he is
working as collector for a Kansas
City newspaper.

The Swiss operative is more skilled
than the German operative, and his
wages in this line are smaller. From
figures obtained at both centers in re-
gard to this industry it would seem
that the German worker receives the
same number of marks that the Swiss
worker does francs franc equals 1913
cents.) Another important point is
that the bleaching at st. Gall gives
more of dead white bleach than does
that of Plauen. The st. Gall bleach
cries obtain their water from the Bod
ensee (Lake of Constance), while at
Plauen they depend partly on wells
and part yon a small river, the Weiss
Elster. which is frequently muddy.
The hand machines in use at Plauen
are similar to those described in my
report on the Swiss industry (Swiss
Embroidery and Lace Industry, mono
graph, published by the bureau of
manufactures. PIP. 43), but are usually
five yards wide instead of four and a
half, as customary in Switzerland. This
machine was introduced from Switzer-
land in 1857 and in 1868 there were
100 in operation. This number gradu-
ally increased until there were some
4,S00 in 1893; since then they have not
been able to stand the competition of
the power machines and have decreased
in numbers until they are estimated
now at not much over $500. Each
machine is estimated to produced 5000
marks worth of embroidery a year, so
their total production may be roughly
figured at 100000 marks. The bulk
of the work in this line is for home
consumption i'm Germany and little is
exported

DIED FROM POISON.

The remains of Mrs. Bertha Wohler,
who committed suicide at her home

will be shipped to her old home at
Sylvan Grovee for burial Saturday.
The deceased was the wife of
Reinhole Wohler and has been in ill
health for a number of years. She
had been twice in the Topeka state
hospital for treatment and when dis
charged the last time from the in
stitution 1t was thought that she was
cured. It proved otherwise, and after
brooking for a time over her i'll health
the unfortunate lady decided Wednes-
day to end it all by taking a large
dose of the poison kept in the house
for the purpose of destroying
vermin.
There was no suspicion that Mrs.
Wohler contemplated her rash act I'M
til she was found at supper time that
evening suffering from the effects OF
the poison. Two physicians were
called at once but their efforts proved
unavAiliug, the stricken lady dying an
hour after drinking the poison.

machines used at Plauen has steadily in
creased in the past few years and is
now estimated at 1000. Each machine
is estimated to produce at least 10 DOC
marks of lace a year. so that the total
production in this line may be figured
at fully 100000 marks ANNUALLY.
In making lace the STABILITY of the
finished article depends more on the
artistic design than it does on the me-
chanical finish, and the designers of
the finer class of laces are highly
skilled men, The German govern
ment fosters the creation of special
schools located at every center that
produces a speciality. In pursuance of
this plan there is at Plauen a royal in
dustrial school that is one of the best
in Germany, and that has had good
deal to do, through the trained design
ers it has turned out, with extending
and perfecting Plauen's special indus
try of etched lace making. Connected
with the school is museum which has
one of the finest collections in Europe
of old and modern laces. Such a
museum is Of great help to the student.
In order to keep in touch with the in
dustry there are branch museums at
Eibenstock, Annaberg, Falkenstein,
Auerbach, Glauchau, Meerane and
F'rankenberg, the exhibits of which are
exchanged with the central museum at
Plauen.
The result of the study of the old
designs by the young men being
trained for a life work as designers
has shown itself not only in the imita-
ton of the old laces so exactly by
machines as scarcely to be distinguish
ed from hand work, but in the great
number of new forms and combina-
lions that are continually being intro
duced and by means of which the
Plauen manufacturers are enabled to
get the best prices and keep just d

of legislative appropriations.
The recommendations of the superin-
tendents of the Topeka and Osawato-
mic hospitals for the insane have been
received by the board.
DR.. L. L. Uhls. of Osawatomie, thinks
that the following are the things most
needed at his institution:
Improvement for water system. $4,000
store building and fixtures. $3.50. 5000

Musicians and musical instruments 1000
Total . ........... s7s, 800
DR.. T. c. Biddle of the Topeka hospi-
tai, concentrates his needs into three
items.
First-He wants a reception hospital
into which all new cases may be taken
and given intensive" treatment during
the first few months in the hope of eff
fecting a quick recovery. Such build
ing. with the necessary equipment Will
cost, it Is estimated, about 100000.
Second-Dr. Eddie wants tubercu-
lar payilIion for men. The pavilion
provided for women is having wonder
full success in treating the consumptive
inmates. The pavilion will cost $4,000
Third-Dr. Biddle wants two cottages
for employees of the institution, which
will cost, it is estimated, about soo,ooo.
In addition to the recommendations
for future work. the reports contain
many interesting facts and figures
about the work of the Institutions dur
