Rhinestones Are Used on the New
Moyen-age Dressers.

A good many of the new Moyen-
age dressers show a yoke cut into
points in some way or other to break
the straight line between the over
and under skirt.
On very beautiful reception gown.
the points come at either side of the
yoke. The lower part OF the skirt
was laid in groups Of shallow tucks
that held in the fullness of the dress
for some five or six inches below the
yoke. The waist was tucked at thc.
back and front to match the skirt,
though very little Of the tucking
showed under the wide bands of
steel-embroidered net that crossed
the bodice in surplice fashion at the
front and met in back in deep v.
The dress vas made Of silk crepon
in the new shade of deep blush pur-
pie, known as yerdange or grape.
Steel heads are used lavishly on the
new gowns and take the form Of
wonderful embroideries scattered
with prodiga) hand over both waists
and skirts. Silver, gold and rhine
stones are used as we'll as Steel but
one sees little net. Metal fruits and
flowers are quite the rage, clusters Of
them catching up the drapery Of an
overskirt or holding in the laces or
chiffons Of a bodice.-The Delineator

CHURCH WORKERS GET NO EN-.
COURAGENIENT.
A Man Who Has Ushered Fifteen
Years Has Not Received q Single
Word Of Thanks.

gentleman spent several weeks in
our town." where he was an entire
stranger, says a writer In The De-
lineator for December. During this
time he attended "our church" every
Sunday. A day or so before leaving.
he had occasion to enter a shoe store,
and recognized in the man who came
forward to wait upon him the usher
who had seated him the previous
Sunday.
After making his purchase, he
spoke OF the pleasant little church,
said ne was about to leave the town,
and thanked the usher for his kind
services to him every Sunday he had
been there. The latter was greatly
pleased and touched by the strangers
appreciation. and said that he had
ushered In "our church" for eighteen
years, but could not reminder that
any one had ever before spoken a
word OF thanks to him. 1t is partly
this thoughtless neglect of expressing
our gratitude which makes church
work So disco uraging.
These suggestions, If all carried out.
Will not fill "the church in our town"
or other churches in other towns i'm
mediately. but they might strengthen
a few weak portions Of our armor
and send US forth better equipped
Tor the conquest Of the world for

Mexico next year will celebrate the
centenary Of the beginning Of its re-
volt against Spanish rule, which re-
suited in independence after years OF
struggle. Hidalgo, the priest who led
the rebellion, met with crushing de-
feat, yet his motives have remained
unquestioned, and his memory is to
receive high honrs. He lived in med
ieval days, but the celebration is to
be modern and practical. At Saltillo,
where he once lived, the citizens pro-
pose to observe the centenary by paw
ing streets and in other parts of Mex
leo public improvements are to be in
augurated. The federal government
also has extencive plans for carrying
out the same idea. 1ts programme
calls for an expenditure of enarly ST.
100000 on schools, charitable institu-
tions, the National Museum, public
monuments, and parks. Whatever
may go to mere show, there is to be
Ane lot Of permanent improvements
to make the celebration memorable.
This seems like a Northern pro-
gramme. If it could include a DEM
onstration Of improved conditions of
labor, there would be added reason
for rejoicing.

nual convention of tn Southwest Med
ical association was the address of DR..
William Brumby, Texas State health
officer, who yesterday exhibited a pa
tient suffering from pellagra AS a
preventive measure, DR.. Brumby
suggested the exercise of the greatest
vigilance in using corn or corn prod
ucts in order that moldy or decaying
cereal be not used. He also urged that
an inspector be appointed, whose dut-
les it shall be to see that millers do
not utilize the "nubbins" or bad ears
of corn. and that the officer be given
power to seize and condemn any con-
singment of corn showing moldiness
In using corn on the cob, he sug-
gested, millers should cast off ends
or nubs as these are most liable to
contain the germ Of the disease.

chance to pray. The mob finally SUBJ
sided and short religious service
WAS held. after which he was strung
up. the rope being placed over a tele-
graph pole at aist and Washington

The mob found some difficulty In
breaking the cage. as 1t was an en-
tireiy steel structure; but after a half
hour OF telling blows upon the door
u gave way and Salzner was secured.
The mob rushed him out of the back
door Of the jail. which Is in the base
ment Of the Court House. around the
building through the yard and out
Into Washington avenue. and up to
s1st street. which Is a prominent cor.
ner and has a public square.

his life and was met by cries and
blows from the mob.
When Salzner was asked for his last
statement man. q stran ger in the
crowd. stepped forward and said he
believed Salzner was innocent. where
upon the mob fell upon him, kicked
him and finally knocked him down.
and IL was only the pleas of cooler
persons that saved his life. He was
compelled to beg for mercy from the
mob. and announced in loud voice
that salzner should be lynched, after
which he was driven from the mob
and all attention was given TO salz-
ners After salzner was hanged, and
while the body was being riddled with
bullets. the rope broke and the body
