WHITE.CAPPERS.

White-cappcrs entered the home OF
Mrs Kate Eaton at Broadway. Rock
ingham count, several nights ago,
took the mother and son, John Robert,
out into the front yard and then and their
administered severe beating with a
coyhide until both mother and son had
to beg for mercy. Not content with
that, the midnight intruders went back
to the house, and after ransacking the
place and scattering the contents about,
set to work and almost demolished tn e
house.
This is the story that the Eaton wo-
man and her son are telling. The two
went to Harrisonburg and laid their
complaints before Commemorative
Attorney Conrad. Mayor Aldhizer, Of
Broadway, it is said, had not given the
couple much satisfaction and had
directed them to the county seat.
The Eaton woman looks to be about
60 years OF age, while her son is in his
tWenties. John Robert is not pre-
possessing looking youth. He pulled
his derby hat down over his ears, grip
ped his Winchester rifle, which he had
on his shoulder and told the common
wealth's attorney that he wanted re-
venge. The old mother gritted her
teeth, too, and declared that revenge
would be sweet to her also.
People from Broadway say that there
is another side Of the story. They say
that the Eatons are undesirable citizens
and that the White-cappers are band
Of good citizens who had exhausted
every other means to rid the town OF
the Eaton mother and son.
The mother and son since the affair
have been camping in the front yard
of the demolished home, the son with
his trus Winchester on bis knees
ready for another visit from the White
cappers.
Mrs. Eaton says she has a sister who
wants her property, and puts the blame
for the invasion upon her.
It is said that the people OF Broad
way will not be content until the Eatons
have left the community for good.
They say the visit to the common
wealth's attorney is mere bluff.

The Independence Leagne.

New York, Oct. 5.-Because OF the
absence OF wireless instructions from
William R. Hearst, the leaders OF the
independence League, whose state con-
yention met here this afternoon, have
failed to agree on programme. 1t
was the expectation Of the delegates
when they arrived to nominate the
entire republican state ticket, with the
exception OF Mayor Edward Schaeneck,
the candidate for lieutenant governor,
and to substitute in his place the name
Of William R. Hearst himself. But
there developed today considerable OPP
position to the plan from upstate dele
gates, many Of whom in the past were
affiliated with the democratic party,
and State Chairman John ]. Hopper,
and Secretary l.. }. O'Reilly have been
trying hard to get into touch with
Hearst to have hin issue orders as to
what shall be done.
1t was expected that Hearst, who
is coming on the Mauretania, would be
close enough to shore Ia direct the
convention before it met far n"mina'
tons tonight, and the anxious
delegates were assured that everything
would be all right by that time. 1t
was the expectation of the leaders
that the programme as arranged a
week ago would be carried out, but
until the Mauretania is heard from
the convention will be literally at
sea-"
The state committee OF the organl-
cation met at l O'Clock this afternoon
and settled few minor contests. 1t
then made up the temporary roll OF
the convention.
The initial session of the conven-
ton was to have been held at o'clock
this afternoon which was to be devoted
to the perfection of the temporary
organization. Adjournment was then
TO be taken until o'clock tonight.

Things Worth Knowing for My Lady
Of the NeedIe-Avoid the
Knot.

The geimpe Of plain sheer tulle or
net is more frequently used than that
of tucks. The yoke Is extremely shall
low, and the clear flesh tint is the
usual color.
dainty little workbag, Just fitted
to hold the embroidered collars and
belts and other paraphernalia OF the
summer piazza. is of figured lawn, over
a lining Of light blue china silk. China
silk makes a good lining, by the way.
for bags which are to hold embroid
cry silks and other things which
might be likely to catch upon rougher
fabrics. On each side of the bag is
semicircle OF lace insertion. border
ed with shirring Of blue baby ribbon.
The embroidery hoop handles are COW
cred with blue ribbon.
The use of a knot is to be avoided
in sewing and not to be tolerated in
embroidery. The accomplished needle
woman rarely finds 1t necessary to
start with a knot, save in gathering or
basting. Sometimes a tiny one is
slipped under hem. but 1t will show
on right side If material is sheer and
makes an ugly lump in ironing. Two
or three over and over stitches taken
on wrong side of material is as secure
as e knot and much more slightly. In
embroidery there is no excuse for a
knot. Two or three tiny stitches ta-
ken on outline or in body of work
where It is afterward covered win
hold any stitches. Knots only tend
to an untidy wrong side. which no
good embroiderer will tolerate and
make the work rough in laundering.
