PEWTER HURT BY FALL-NEW
DEPOT COMPLETED.

Gadsden, November 9.-(Special.) Miss
Bessie jenkins, an employee of the En-
pire laundry, suffered a very painful ac-
cident yesterday. While at work with
the ironer she had her hand caught be-
tween the rolls and drawn into the ma
chine SO that it could not be extricated
until the machinery YVES stopped. The
rolls being hot, the hand was not only
frightfully crushed, but badly burned as
well. In fact, the flesh was completely
burned from two of her fingers. The
girls hand will probably be saved.
While engaged in the work of con-
structing a house in the swestern part
of the city, Joe Berry, carpenter from
Smokeneck, fell from the second story
to the ground and sustained more or
less serious injuries. He suffered broken
shoulder and some severe cuts about the
head and face and may be injured in
ternally. He was carried to the hospital
and is resting as well as the nature OF
his injuries will admit.
Tomorrow night young men OF the city

will be held at the courthouse and speak,
ers for the occasion have been secured,
among the number being C. P. Smith,
former mayor of the city, and an ardent
advocate of the amendment.
The contractors of the new Louisville
and Nashville depot have finished their

exception of a few decorations and the

probably be thrown open to the public

MODELLED AFTER rHE JAPANESE.
New Parasol That Is Seemingly Going
to Become Popular.

For those who are going as far
south as Florida and Havana there is
offered charming new parasol called
the Clio Clio San. says the New York
Sun. 1t is quite fiat, with a gilded
silk and wide hem of colored chiffon.
The shape and design are copied
straight from the paper parasol used
by the Japanese.
1t leads the way for all the rest. The
wide. fiat shape is to be preferred
above all others for the season of
1909. The framework differs from the
American kind, which is usually made
up of eight ribs. The new ones have
is ribs, all of which are ,gilded.
Attached 10 the handle is large
up over the ribs when the parasol is
closed and keeps 1t in compact form.
This in itself is pretty idea and can
be used on any parasol old or new.
Colored chintz parasols will be made
on this plan for everyday country use.
They have the Is gilded ribs and the
heavy rings of celluloid.
Last summer the Paris women made
the straw parasol the fashionable one
of Europe. A scented African grass
was used and the handle was of bam-
boo or natural wood. These are in
America now, and possibly will be
taken up widely for summer resort
use
These parasols, like all the other
new ones, have the long directoire
handle added to the fiat Japanese top.
