NUN YELLING SUIT.
Somber Effect Alleviated by Bright
Braid Trimming.

Nuns yelling in itself is rather SOM
Der looking. Ribbon and the brighter
kinds of braid make an effective trim
ming.
The double skirt effect is an appro-
pirate model for the material. The
upper portion viii fit the hips smooth
ly and the lower half might be tuck
ed to the upper.
A design in braid would trim the
lower part of the upper skirt and also
border the fiounce.
If one likes the tuck arrangement as
finish to both skirts this will be
equally pretty, and very narrow rib
bon could be sewed on the edge of
each tuck, or a wider width could be
used in rows alternately with the
tucks.
FLARING BELL SLEEVES.
The waist should be made on fitted
lining, with material slaid on around
the armholes. The neck will be cut
square for wear with a chemisette of
finely tucked. unlined chiffon cloth,
and sleeves puffed at the elbow win
be of the same material.
Deep cuffs of the chiffon trimmed
with rows of ribbon will reach the
waist. Sleeves in f1aring bell form
will Top the sheerer sleeves and will
turn back to show facings Of black
silk braided with black soutache braid
or appliqued with silk motifs.
The waist proper is cut in jumper
effect, with wide armholes, tucked on
the shoulders to yoke depth, the outer
edge falling over the armhole seams.
The square neck and outer edges
could be trimmed with bands match
ing that used on the bell sleeves.
COVERED WITH BRAIDING.
AS the material is somewhat light in
weight for a coat, 1t should be made
up rather fancy looking.
1t could be half length or more and
cut with seams from the shoulders.
The remaining body portion and the
sleeves will be cut in one piece, with
a seam the length of the sleeve.
These will be covered with braiding
and the same kind of decoration viii
conceal the seams from the shoulders
Cut the neck w. shape, close slightly
double breasted over the bust, then
cut the front edges sharply away.
The back viii be semifftting. The
neck may be finished with any hand
some black fiat trimming that strikes
ones fancy. The sleeves should fall
faring bell shape and be trimmed TO
match the neck.

JUDGE GARNER
MARK TWAIN" OF KENTUCKY.
Leading Winchester Citizen Here
Says His Town is the Nearest
Place in the Universe TO
Heaven"

Judge John E. Garner, former
Mayor Of Winchester, and conceded
to be one of the most brilliant humor-
lists in Kentucky, was in Lexington
Tuesday, having come here to attend
a meeting of the Episcopal Commit
tee of this diocese. Judge Garner
before he became "Mark Twain" of
Kentucky, edited paper at Win
chester. But that was years ago and
he says as he has long since reform
ed it is unkind to throw this up to
him now. Judge Garner has State
wide reputation as a POSTMASTER,
and but very few banquets and other
similar functions have been held IN
the Gateway City" in recent years
that he has not acted In this capac-
ity. He was the POSTMASTER at the
Commercial Club banquet given in
his city more than year ago to the
State Development Convention and
those who attended have not yet quit
laughing at. his side-spitting re-
marks on that occasion. More re-
Gently he was the POSTMASTER at the
banquet given to the officers of the
Burley Tobacco. Society and added
new laurels to his crown.
Not long ago Judge Garner wrote
for The Winchester News an account
Of his plunge into journalism, which
compares favorably with the best
things that Mark Twain, or Bill Nye
ever wrote. The Courier-J Journal
copied the article In full and it has
heen reproduced by scores of papers
since. Judge Garner is as proud of
Winchester, which he describes as
'the nearest point in the universe to
heaven" as his town is of him and
us legion of friends there never tire
IF sounding his praise.-The Lexing-
ton Leader.

TELLS STORY OF
ANN|S MURDER
Yacht Club Member Was Eye Witness
Victim Taken Una
wares.

Flushing, N. Y, Dec. 1.-THE story
of the Staying of William E. Annis, a
publisher, as he sat in his catboat,
clad only in bathing suit, was made
part of the record in the trial of
Thornton ]. Hams, magazine writ
er, charged with being a principal
with his brother, Captain Peter G.
Hams, Jr., in the murder of Annis
last summer.
Tracing the movements of the prin-
cipals in the Bayside Yacht club trag-
edy with the aid Of miniature iron
figures and models of the float and
the catboat Pam, Edwin Andrews, a
yacht club member, showed under ex-
animation how the army captain,
standing on the floats edge, held
aloft the obscuring boom and sail Of
Annis' boat and shot the publisher
as he sat at the tiller.
There was surprise when it was
learned that John Tonning, a Swedish
boatman, who saw the tragedy, could
not be located. District Attorney
Darrin said he thought Tonning was
in Sweden, but that nothing had been
heard from him since last Septemr
Der.
''He is a most important witness
for u.s." said Lawyer Mcintyre, for
through him we would have shown
that he struck Captain Hams after
the shooting with boat hook or oar,
and that to protect his brother,
Thornton Hxins drew his revolver"
The cross-examination of Andrews
consumed the major portion of the
session, and Lawyer Mcintyre sought
to develop that Thornton Hams had
used expressions after the shooting
to the effect that he had tried to dis
suade Captain Hams from his act
and that he would hold him until the
officers came.
Special Prosecutor White declared
in the opening of the states case that
evidence would be brought out to
show that Thornton Hams had full
knowledge Of his brothers intention
to kill Annis and virtually led the
way to the yacht club and directed
the search for the publisher. Mr..
White declared that Thornton Hams
pointed his revolver at Mrs. Annis
and prevented her from going to the
aid Of her wounded husband.

Lemans, Dec. 17.-Wilbur Wright
the American aeroplanist, made .
most remarkable fight in his aero
plane. Instead of rising gradually,
the machine shot up like rocket to
height of 240 feet. The asronaut
then permitted it to drop about so
feet, at which altitude he stopped the
engine. The machine glided down
smoothly and gracefully, landing
about three-quarters Of a mile from
the starting point. Members Of the
English Aero club who were present
became wildly enthusiastic over the
performance.

Small Town is Crowded With Wit

his father, Judge James Hargis, and

was desired that time be given to
look into their records.
The jury will be selected soon af-

CASTRO RETAINS
HIS C0MP0SURE
Says He Has Not Heard of Trouble
at H0me-H0IIand'S Acts
Piracy.

Berlin, Dec. 17.-President Castro of
Venezuela maintains his composure
in the face of alarming reports which
have been published here regarding
the disturbances in Venezuela. When
dispatches were shown to him that
the people of Caracas had arisen
against him, burned the pictures and
statues of the president in the pub
lie squares and had made an attack
upon a number of buildings, includ-
ing the stores of several Of his warm
est adherents, and that several per-
sons had been killed, Castro, after
having one of the members of his
party make a translation of these
into Spanish, said quietly: 81 don't
believe it. I had dispatches from Ca
racas, but they mentioned nothing of
the kind"
President Castro was asked for an
expression of his views regaroing
Hollands seizure of Venezuelan
ships, but he answered: 81 am in Ger
many in private capacity"
He referred the correspondent to
Senior Veloz-Goiticoa, the Venezuelan
charge d'affaires, whom he author
lied to talk for him. The charge
then made the following statement:
I'm reply to your question, doubt
what has been published with regard
to Hollands aggression, because no
declaration of war has been made,
nor has a blockade been announced,
and none established. Therefore, the
seizure of small Venezuelan vessels
by sheer force can not be described
other than as an act of piracy, I'M
worthy any enlightened civilized
country.
"On the other hand, such a course
would jeopardize the arrangements
which Venezuela has proposed to
Holland through confidential agents,
and could even have a worse effect,
inasmuci as Venezuela in meeting
payments due to Holland takes for
that purpose q portion of the pre-
scribed 80 per cent Of the customs
receipts. Thus Hollands act might
fplace Venezuela in position Of be-
ing unable to continue payne hts,
which also would jeopardize the in
terests of other nations. Holland ,s
in the wrong in the difficulty between
that country and Venezuela, and she
IL still more involved through the at,
titude which the Dutch government
recently has adopted.
"In view of this state Of the case.
the Venezuelan government has In
formed the diplomatic corps at Ca
racas of these facts, and is waiting
before taking any further steps,"
