Stitch SILK Garments with Cotton

stitch SIX WIN CottUH'
When making garments of silk, use
fine cotton thread for stitching up the
seams This will prevent them from
the ~.puckering'' which is almost I'M
avoidable with silk thread. It is a
good idea to first try stitching on a
small piece of silk, to make sure that
the tension is just right. In places
where the stitching shows, or is used
as a trimming, the upper thread can
be of silk, with cotton on the bob
bin. Also for blind hemming on crepe
de chine, silk muslin, chiffon, ETC., very
fine cotton thread is far less notice.

Relief Expedition Feeds Over 500
People Who Were In starv-
ing Condition.

New Orleans, La.--Thc total death roll
from the hurricane of last Monday Is
now 252. And that represents only the
known dead Searches now being made
by relief expeditions in the stretches OF
marshes and lowlands in Terre Bonne
and LaFourche parishes will undoubtedly
reveal more casualties.
A section gang working on the Louis
vile railroad found thirty-six bodies be.
tween Dunbar and Claiborne, all of them
being almost stripped of clothing, and
with nothing to identify them.
The islands on the southeast coast OF
Louisiana and the lowlands nearby were
visited, and while there was great de-
struction of boats and houses, there was
no loss of life there.
A. Cardona, who went on a relief eX'
pedition in the lower stretch of Bayou
LaFourche, going as far south as Lee
vile, at the mouth of the bayou, reports
an awful condition existing there. He
says they fed 500 people, who were in a
starving condition, without homes and
without clothing.
He also reports that at a point on the
Terre Bonne side of Bayou LaFourche,
near the mouth, seventeen members of
family were drowned in one house, and
that the neighbors surviving had to burn
the wrecked building and cremate the
bodies to avoid disease.
He says that the drowned cattle, hogs
and other animals are beginning to pl-
trify now that the water has receded
and that the atmosphere is very foul.
There are thousand refugees in Hou-
ma, who are being cared for. Relief
is being sent from New Orleans to Hou
ma and Congressman Broussard has ap,
pealed to the federal government to have
Col. Foote, the local army commandant,
detailed to take charge of the relief in
that section.

stack near Touchet station where he
was found hiding, John Small, the ne
gro convict who escaped from the
state penitentiary last Monday was
captured last night about 6 o'clock
and brought back to the penal institu-
ton this morning. The chase with the
dogs lasted over "a hours and had the
negro not been captured when he was
last night, he could easily have had
several more hours of liberty owing to
the fact that both dogs and posses
were fatigued and unable to go any
further. 1t was because of this fact
that the convict, together with the
dogs and the men composing the
searching parties, were housed in
Touchet last night being too tired to
return to the city.
