NEW TOUCHES FOR GIRDLEs.
Small Details That Will Be Found &c
Prove Charming Additions.

Nearly every modiste has ideas of
belts, which she develops as occasion
offers, and while there is no very great
latitude possible with the ordinary
frock, still many small details may be
used that give original touches to
the costume and prove charming ad-
ditions.
For example, one clever foreign
modiste takes two or three rings COW
cred with heavy silk, buttonholed
around the edges. and through these
the ribbons or folds of the material
are drawn in various combinations.
Another girdle of ribbon by the
same modiste has for lowered mus
lin or silk frocks cluster of blossoms
matching some of those in the dress
drawn loosely through a knot in the
girdle. In this case the knot should
be at the center front or to one side
of it.
A young girl, for whom this dress
maker made an organdie lawn party
frock in white with blackberry bios
SONS and leaves in lavender and pink,
had a cluster of white berry blossoms
and a cluster of unripe berries pulled
through the white silk sash drawn
high at the left side, and her large
white leghorn hat was trimmed with
trails of berry vines showing the
white flowers and also now and then
unripe green berries and an occa'
sional purple one.

Deborah. Don't try. 1t will only
make him more angry, and"
But Ellen stood up in the boat,
balancing herself lightly in spite of
the pitching, pointed her pistol at
the other boat now not more than
half mile away, and pulled the trig-
ger. There was a tremendous report,
for Ellen had put in an extra large
charge in default of bullet.
A., Someone in the boat astern stood
up and waved his hat.
Ellen let him have the other pistol.
OF course, there was sound and moth
noise and the smoke relieved her feel
ings. Deborah covered down in the
boat, released the tiller, let go the
sheet and stopped her ears with her
fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols
and by the quickest kind of work,
seized the tiller and sheet and got the
boat under control before she preached
to. 1t was narrow escape, however,
and convinced Lady Darlington that
She could not indulge in any more
sham battling. She watched the other
boat carefully as her own gathered
way once more but could detect no
evidence that her firing had in the
least intimidated those who were
coming so recklessly after her.
Promising Deborah that she would
not fire them again, she got the young
woman to take the helm once more
while she reloaded her pistols. She
would have given anything for a
couple Of good honest leaden bullets.
If she had even had a jeweled ring,
She would have pounded it into shape
and rammed 1t down the barrel, but
she had Invested herself of all her
Jewels except her wedding ring and
she could not make up her mind to
blow that away in the present emer-
gency. Still the pistols were heavily
charged and at close quarters there
would be an unpleasant dose of pow
der for anyone who tried to modest
her.
The other boat was coming up hand
over hand now. In half an hour she
would be alongside. Ellen swept the
harbor ahead of her and was sur
prised to see-she had not noticed il

ship, an American merchantmen evi

that it must be the New Eagle. II
she could intercept that ship and gel

to heave to or to check her way, the

MIR. LOUD TEsTIFIEs IN LILLEY
 INVESTIGATION.
Gives Opposite Testimony To That Of His Former Private Secretary.
 Mr. Liifey Has Controversy with Newspaper Man.

Washington, Apr. 6-xRepresentative George A. Loud, of Michigan, today denied before the special House com mittee investigating the charges against the Electric Boat Company. that he had complained bitterly that W.zD. Gordon. of his district. an attor- ney of the corhpany. had borne down" upon him in the matter of submarine iexislation. as testified to Friday by Frank Edinborough, formerly his pri- Yata secretary. '
 He said MT. Gordon had not done so, nor had he in any way threatened him with political opposition; neither had he urged upon him the subject of sup marines. Mir. Loud said that when he had learned of MT. Gordon's employ ment by the Electric Boat Company he had expressed extreme regret that MT. Gordon had accepted employment with the company. He also denied knowi- edge of causing letter or telegram to be written, as testified to by Mir. Edtn- Informing Mr..Gordon. of hts action in committee in voting for sub marines, He said he could find no rec ord of such a letter. He also express ed regret, while on . trip on the Do'- phfn, to number Of ConRresmen' among whom was MT. Lilley, that the Electric Boat Company had employed an attorney in his district. No one had ever intimated to him. he said. that Mir. Cor don would become candidate against him if he did not vote for sub marines
 MT. Loud said he bad nevar been in- fiuenced by any one outside the Maya! iAHairs Committee, but have always. he continued. upon my own Judgment voted for what I deemed best for the naval service and my duty as mem- Der of that committee"
 Before Mir. Loud took the stano, Chairman Boutelle called attention 70 the fact that affidavits. letters. etc. presented to the committee. but not made public by 1t, had been published in the newspapers. He said these maj ters were not proper evidence until they became part of the public record This course is understood to have been taken because of the action Of Mr Lhl- ley in making public certain docu- ments he had presented to the commit. tee.

Of chief interest among the matters considered by the Council last night were the conditions of the pubic schools. a communication from the mayor In regard to deficit in the treasury, and communication from City Electrician Blakey advising that fin his opinion the Montgomery Trac- tion Company had not sufficiently fm- proved it's service.
 The communication from MT. Blakey was not long but it was pointed After stating that the cars of the company were in poor condition and that there had been no improvement in the tracks Mir. Blakey went into detail of descrip- tion.
 There was no discussion on the com munication which was received and re- fsrred but it Is probable that 1t will be. when 1t is brought up next in the regular order of business, matter of the most serious consideration.
 The school question was that which brought forth most debate and the main result after the augmentation was that the City Engineer Is to pre- pare plans contemplating the division Of the auditorium of the Girls High School on South Lawrence street Into three school rooms to be utilized in

 Mahaly is about 45 years old. She has learned in that time that unto car rying the collection plate around church the rest of worldly honors are as to the giimmer of the hreiy to the radiant glory of the sun. Hence Ma haly regarded the small negro with some scorn as he made the above state- sment. and waited in condescension for the dime.
 But Jake was not overcome by tho scorn exhibited by Mahaly. He knew that he had the title to her unbounded respect, nor was he a long time in as- serting that title. With careless air he 1aid s5 bill on the plate and en- tirely obiivious of the gasp of aston- ishment that almost overcome the oid rnegress, waited for his change, mean while apparently intent on other

 The plans before the Council for a general relief came formally befcresti1e aldermen in a report from thes City School Board and called for the con struction of one high school for white persons and two eight room schooi buildings tor negroes. The construc- tion of those buildings, 1t is believed, would abate the now existent conges- ton. A bond issuance of 3150.000 ts anticipated by the plans.
 What caused most debate last night was a consideration for immediate re lief. Alderman Saul made a point that perhaps the congestion at the Sayre Street School might be absted if there should not be what he alleged to be discrimination asainst south Mont gomery schools. point that brought on talk about the remaking of school wards. In the debate Aldermen Gun ter and Moritz. and Johnson spoke at some length.
 The entire Council showed itself in sympathy with the movement for the extension of the school system.

 COUNTRY.
OVER 3O,ooO PEOPLE KILLED LAST YEAR
Figures Gathered by Bureau of Labor Show That Workers in Steel and Iron Are in Greatest Daneer--Mueh Could be Done to Save Many-Min- ing and Electrical Work Fatal.

Washington, Dec. I5.--Between 90 and 5 thousand deaths and million injuries is the accident record in the United States in the last year among workingmen. according to a bulletin on accidents issued Monday by the Bureau of Labor
 Of those employed in factories and workshops. it Is stated that probably the most exposed class are the work CTS in iron and steel. Fatal accidents among electricians and electrical line nen and coal miners are declared to be excessive, while railway trainmen were killed in the proportion of 7046 to 1000.
 The bulletin declares that much that could be done for the protection of the workingmen Is neglected, though many and far-reaching improvements have been introduced in factory prac- tices in the last decade
 It Is pointed out that the possibili- ties for successful accident prevention have been clearly demonstrated In the experience of foreign countries.
 
 Granting" the bulletin states. "that the underlying conditions in European countries are often quite different and that many of our industrial accidents may be the result of ignorant. reck less indifference or carelessness. the fact remains that an immense amount of human life is wasted and a vast amount of injury is done to health and strength. with resulting physical i'm pairment. which has very consider able economic value to the nation as a whole
