STARCHED CLOTHES.
The Fashion Was Started In England
by Queen Elizabeth.


by Queen Elizabeth.
The p1autice Of starching linen is
at least 400 years old. 1t is said
to have originated under Queen
Elizabeth. It's inventor was a Dutch
woman, the wife of 4 Mr.. Guilheem
who was driver at the royal court
Mrs. GuiIheem understood so well how
to improve Il small deficiency in the
bust of her royal mistress by means of
Stiffened collars, frills and laces that
Elizabeth overwhelmed her with IA
vOrs and privileges and finally elevated
her to the rank Of chief inspectress of
the court linen.
The fashion introduced by the queen
was of course soon followed by all
the women of rank The fad for this
new art finally degenerated into
veritable mania for starching, ironing,
plating. etc. Later special profess
Ors" of the art of starching estab-
Lshed themselves in London, among
whom a Flemish woman Of the name
of Dinghen van der Plasse seems to
have occupied the highest rank. Those
privileged to be initiated by her in the
art had to pay no less than E5 for
lesson.
Later they began to add blue color to
the starch. Queen Elizabeth, who was
very anxious about her questionable
beauty, found that the addition of blue
gave a green hue to her complexion.
She therefore prohibited her subjects
wearing any other than pure white
starched linen, claiming that blue
washed linen was injurious to health
But fashion proved superior even to
good Queen Bess." they continued
merrily to use blue starch, though one
woman after the other had to go to
prison for transgressing the "blue
aw."-BOstOn Post.

The "pure food law is designed"
by the Government to protect the
public from injurious ingredients in
both food and drugs. 1t is bene
fetal both to the public and to the
conscientious manufacturer. Ely's
Cream Balm, a successful remedy for
cold in the head. nasal catarrh, hay
fever, etc., containing no injurious
drugs, meets fully the requirements
of the new law, and that fact is
prominently stated on every package.
1t contains none of the injurious
drugs which are required by law to be
mentioned on the label. Hence you
can use it safely.

almost all the road districts there
is no excuse for this condition of
affairs. We thought we would
indict some of the overseers, but
finally decided not to do so but
to warn the overseers that this
condition of affairs must not
longer prevail.
The roads of the country are
gradually getting better. We
think the road tax is being eco
nomically expended. While we
think that some improvement in
methods Of working the roads
under the present law can be had,
still we know that the overseers
and people have not had the ex-
perience yet to fully learn the
best methods, and we are glad to
note that improvements are
being made.
We sent a committee to the
poor farm. This farm contains
about 200 acres of land, very little
of which is being cultivated. The
county is paying $75 per month
for the keeping Of the five
paupers. This includes their
board, care, clothing and medical
attention. We think this is
reasonable. The building in which
they are kept is not in good re-
pair. Their clothing seems to be
comfortable, and the only one
who was mentally able to give us
information said the food was
satisfactory. We think it would
be wise for the county court to
sell this farm, if it can be done
for a reasonable price and a
smaller tract Of land bought to
be used for a poor farm. -Four
OF the five paupers seem to be
mentally weak-in fact almost
imbeciles, and the house in which
they are kept should be repaired
and made more comfortable.
The court house is too small,
and is in bad repair although the
county court has done all that
could be done to repair 1t.
Many think it unsafe. 1t is in
convenient and not in keeping
with the buildings provided for
our sister counties. 1t would be a
waste of money to try to repair It,
It never can be made to meet the
demands of the business OF our
present population. We approve
the action of the levying court IN
making a start to build a new
one. We congratulate the people
of the county on the fact that we
are on a cash basis, and we think
a new court houseg can be built
very soon without increasing
taxation to any appreciable ex-
teut.
Just before adjourning we
heard complaint that certain
bows were congregating in front
of the Tom Allen school and dis
turbing the pupils by marching
and singing. We suggest that

NEGRO MEETS
SWIFT JUSTICE
Tom billiard, a Hope Negro,
Is Lynched for Attempting
to Commit a Horrib | e
Crime -Jury's Verdict.
(Hope Daily News. }

(Hope Daily News)
Hope. Ark. Jan. 18. This
morning at $40 O'Clock a negro
man named Tom Dillard, about
% years of age was hung to a
telegraph pole in front Of the
Capitol Hotel. The negro was
arrested Thursday night for an
attempted crime on a lady of this
city. He was taken in charge
by Night Marshal Griffith at five
o'clock Friday morning, taken
before the woman on whom the
assault was made and fully recog-
nized as the miscreant. To more
fully establish his identity he
was recognized by Mr.. Brun-
didge who was near the scene, as
the negro who was running away
from the SPOT of the attempted
outrage. Griffith locked the ne
gro up in the city calaboose and
during the day was taken to the
county Jail at Washington. After
his arrest billiard confessed to
having been guilty of a similar
outrage four months ago.
Yesterday there were rumors
that a crowd of men were to
visit Washington and take the
law in their own hands, but our
sheriff did not dream that such a
result would follow. However, a
little after midnight a body of
men, twenty-five in number, ap-
peared at the Jail door and de-
manded the possession Of billiard.
Being overpowered, the sheriff
acceded to the demands of the
crowd. not however, until he had
made an appeal to the men to let
the law take it's course. The
crowd brought the negro to Hope
and at $40 o'clock this morning
secured a rope and, after tying
his legs and arms, hung him to
a telegraph pole in front of the
Capital Hotel.
AS the form was being hauled
Iup SOM ten or twelve shots We're
fired into his body. Hundreds
of people were drawn to the
scene. This IS an example 10
such miscreants and should be
/ a lesson. Womanhood must be
protected and wherever an at
tempt of this nature is plade by
any class no punishment is too
severe, and hereafter the negro
element especially must be made
to recognize the fact that justice
will be vindicated and the strong
arm of the law upheld however
rigid the process may be.
At $50 O'Clock Coroner Cos
neil took charge of the remains
and summoned jury, who hav-
ing viewed the remains, returned
the following verdict:
I'VE, the lawful jurors of
Hampstead county, who, being
in due form sworn, say that the
said Tom billiard came to his
death about 4:45 a. M, the 18th
day of January, 1909 by being
hanged to telephone pole at
the hands of unknown parties.

1t is understood that the Law and Or. der League will now take steps look ing to a strict enforcement.
 If grand jury Is organized Monday and Is sworn in. there being much doubt as to the grand jury summoned to appear before Judge Weaver fin the Criminal Court, 1t is believed that the names of all men who have Federal revenue license will be called on to explain the necessity of such licenses and others may be taken before the jury to tell how he ascertained the use of revenue licenses in other mems hands.
 No statements are made by the lead CTS of the Law and order League as to the plans that will be put into exeeu- tion but that there Is to be something done here in the near future is appar- ent.
 The raids made in Mobile on hotels and other places Is being considered in Birmingham and a similar plan may be carried out here. Before the mid de of the coming week 1t is believed that the plans of operation will have been worked out and many arrests will follow
