ago are really beautiful both in. line
and eolor and worth consideration to
those interested In pattern making.
The idea Of reproducing them exactly
on articles to be ~needieworked may
well commend itself. and in this way
many charming schemes of decoration
a be arranged.
The actual needlework OF the pat
terms requires some skill, aud it Is inn
portant to choose soft, clear coiors. 1t
Is worth while taking pains to secure
the exact china shades. Fine silks, as
a rule, are better ~than coarse. but d
good deal depends on the size and gem
ersl appearance OF the pattern.
1t is rather a quaintridea, which may
take the fancy of the possessor of a
fine old tea service; to have the table
cloths embroidered to match It.. Some
OF the blue and red and gold patterns
look very handsome carried out In this
way, The cloth may be cream or
white, but a faint Paris shade is really
better than either. The china pattern
shows TO the best advantage 0a ta.z,
at it gives a softer finish as q back
ground than either of the two before
named. The experienced needlewoman
win easily realize that something of
the success OF this kind OF work win
depend on the final touches OF border
ing and mounting. and she win know
better than TO edge an deliberately ems
broidered articles with SNOWY lace. As
3 rule, It IS the vzissst plan to keep
to plain machine stitched helns; other
wise the china embroidery is apt to
laaa its distinctfve appearance. How

RUN DOWN BY CITY ATTORNEY

The police and the Commonwealth
ATTORNEY seem determined to discour-
age dealers in Intoxicating liquors
from disposing of their goods to local
soft drink dealers, when they know
that the local dealers are intending to
resell to consumers here. The position
taken by the Commonwealth Attor-
ney of STAUNTON in the case of
Commonwealth VS.. Garrett and Com
pany seems to be tenable one and it
is hoped it will deter OUT of town
callers f, ON palming off ardent spir-
its upon soft drink dealers here:
Mr.. Garrett of the firm and Mr..
Walter H. Taylor, counsel for the
offending concern, soon saw the
strength of the commonwealth po-
sition and as representatives of the
company decided that the best thing
to do was to plead guilty. The pen
atty for an offence of this kind is a
fine of not less than 500. Phil. G..
Kelley and Co.. of kichmo nd, the
makers of Alto Malt, which contrjbut-
ed in no small degree to the downfall
of one Jim Boyer, have made no ap-
psarance whatever, as yet. They
have until August Gath to answer the
charge.

Some ten years ago the surviving
British officers of the Cfimean war
held banquet in London. One OF

take a vote on the question:
s'What name connected with that
wal will live longest in history"
When the ballots were counted, be-
hold, every vote was for Florence
Nightingale and when her name was
announced as the unanimous selection
of the grizzled veterans the banquet
hall rang with cheers.

ALSO EXAGGERATED
Mary Baldwin Seminary Has Not
Received Letters About Cave in

The reports that have been going
out touching the safety OF our schools
has, like other things about the cave
in, been exaggerated, we heard that
our schools would most likely be
affected by those wild sensational re-
ports. This is we think not likely.
In conversation with Mr.. W. w..
King of the Mary Baldwin Seminary,
a representative of the DISPATCH
leaned that up to yesterday at 2
O'clock he had received but one en-
curry and that was not an enquiry OF
alarm at conditions which might
affect the Seminary. but simple
question of interested inquiry relative
to the real facts. The letter never
intimated that the party had any fear
for the.safety of the seminary, and
this is the only letter received ny MI.
King on the subject. So the people.
way from here are not stampeded at
least.

How Circus Helps Business With
Local Stores

Local SS0ro8
That it does local merchants some
good to have a big circus like the
John Robinson Shows to come to
town is amply evidenced by the large
contracts made by local dealers. It
takes money TO run q great show, and
it takes vast amount of material to
feed the employees and animals.
Circus people live well, and only
the best of everything is used in the
commissary department.. That big
show leaves liberal lump of money
in a city at times is evident from the
contracts made here. To local
coffee firm the mammoth order Of 1, 900
pounds of coffee was given. From an
equally welltknown grocery house $500
worth of groceries was contracted.
Two hundred and fifty pairs of shoes
were added to the commissary wagon,
three carcasses of beef came from a
local butcher, as we'll as 800 pounds Of
animal meat. An order of $225 alone
went to one butcher. Several hundred
loaves of bread feed the hungry maws
of the circus people daily, and these.
too, come from local bakers Seventy
five quarts of milk from the dairies.i
Eight tons of hay, one hundred and
fifteen Bushels of oats, twosstons Ut
straw, and host of other nee essaries
were purchased in the city. AL told
nea1ly$ 5000 will be left here as re-
suit of the advent of the John Robin
son Shows. Eight hundred dollars
per CAV in railroad fares is paid by
the circus people. One of the business
men in connection with the show is
Peter Ross, the only registered stew
ard in the circus business, who has
charge of the feeding of the multi
tude as we'll as the purchasing for the
hundreds of hungry mouths.
The date for the big shows, and it
hould be carefully noted, as this is
the only big one coming this year, is
Monday Aug. 29th.

THE LATEST FROM CAvE-IN

So quiet was the cave in, on yester-
day, that we hardly felt we had one.
Had certain Mr.. Yoder who pur-
ports to have come here to make an
authentic and TRUTHFUL report to
the Washington Times OF conditions,
been on hand, he would hardly have
heard any rumb.lngs, unless they had
come from the outraged citizens of
STANTON, who are deeply lndig-
uant at his statements, his lack of
facts and fertility OF imagination.
There was some sliding of the walls
Of the three cave ms but there were
no new developments in any of them.
Early yesterday, Mr.. Harry Frazier, an
expert engineer, sswhose coming was
told in our report of yesterday, was
upon the scene with City Manager
Ashburner and Mr.. Charles Catlett
and together theyl consulted as to the
best method of dealing with the prop
osition.
After viewing the ground. MIR.
Frazier stated positively that the only
thing todo was to fill the chasm as
quickly as possible. In this Mr.. Cat
lett agrees. Mr.. Ashburner had al.
ready been of that opinion and had
done some work towards that end.
The representative of the Geological
Survey, Mr.. Van Horn, expressed the
same opinion before he left. Mr..
Frazier had no doubts on the subject
and if the matter had been left to
him individually, he would lose no
time in accommodating that end. His
advice was to fill..it and fill it quick.
Mr.. Ashburner in little while had
on the string three or four different
plants with steam shovels and proper
equipment, any one of which can be
| installed in short time, and will be
installed as soon as authority is given.
There was only one hole bored by
Mr.. Heald, who has charge of the u.
8. Government tests at the post Office,
about 80 feet east of where he bored
on Monday and struck solid rock at q
Ia feet. He then filled that hole and
