HOME DRESSMAKER
" CATCHES UP ON HER
SEWING IN FEBRUARY
By FRANCES CARROLL.


-HIS is the great month for the
home dressmaker. She has had
time to rest from the rush OF
the holiday sewing, and it is not
yet time to begin the work about
the home which spring makes neces-
sary.
February gives to US that midwinter
lull which every clever woman will
utilize in saving herself hurry when the
enervating days shall have come.
This month the way is clear to catch
ing up OH the sewing that is always in
demand-linge-ie, clothes for the chill
dren, both for school and for play, and
the gingham house dresses and aprons
that are ever needful
These are necessities Of dress upon
which fashion has very little effect,
and this is the reason that they can be
easily made now without risk.
Month of
White Sales.
There is still another reason why the
wise woman utilizes February for sew
ing. 1t is the month Of white sales,
when lovely cotton materials and laces
for trimming them can be bought cheap
ly. These, when made up at home,
make possible even to the woman of
very moderate means many things
which she could not afford to buy other
wise at the shops.
The wisest lesson a girl learns is to
sew. All through the years of her
Womanhood she will be grateful for
this knowledge, for it will enable her
to present the smart appearance that
her sister who depends entirely upon
ready-made clothing can never present.
For she can have quantities of dainty
lingerie for the same cost that few
pieces could be purchased ready made.
And there is no comparison in the
wear of the home made lingerie and
that bought in the shops.
Clothes made at home, of good ma
terial, will cost half and last twice as
long as those bought in the stores.
Shopping Down
To a System.
I know one systematic mother who
begins about the middle of January at
ssndinC the white sales. She makes a
LIST OF Just what will be needed for each
If her three children, beginning with
their underwear and ending with the
Eweet little dotted Swiss that is to be a
dressy little fTock. By the first of Febru-
Rry she has laid in the materials at
small cost for the children's clothes for
the year to come. Throughout the
month of February she employees a wO-
man by the day to do the plain sewing
while she herself designs, and cuts, and
Its.
There is no great demand upon her
time from other sources during this
mid-winter lulI and so she can be as
busy as she pleases, and as happy as
she is busy replenishing the children's
WarjrObes. "
Think OF il,
Think of beginning the spring with
every chick and child comfortably fitted
out for a full year!

HANDS OFF CHINA"
Signatory Powers Indorse United

Next to the fact of the Chinese peace
conference itself, the presentation by
the six powers Of a joint note to the
peace commissioners at Shanghai yester'
day is considered at the State Depart
ment as the most important turn thus
far given the Chinese situation. II the
note is successful in Fastening an ad'
justment of the now demoraiiZed gov

measure also stand as a vindication OF
the conservative policy OF the United

In the Identical notes presented to i'm

SINGER TO SEEK DIVORCE.
Nine. Marie RappoId and Physi
cian-Husband Have Separated.

New York, Dec 1s-Dr. J. C. Rappold,
jr.. a Brooklyn physician and husband of
Mime. Marie Rappold, prima donna in
the Metropolitan opera company, to-day
admitted that he and the famous opera
singer have separated.
The separation, the physician declared,
was caused by a battle between his pride
and his wife's ambitions. While Mrs.
Rappold felt that she could not give up
her career, DR.. Rappold. feeling unable to
maintain HIMSELF on the same scale of
grandeur as his wife is living in, said he
would not sacrifice his pride to be de-
pendent on her. He declared, however,
that no legal steps would be taken in the
matter of their separation.
When Nine. Rappold was informed of
her husbands statement tonight she
said:
II don't know what he is talking about.
The cause of our separation is not as has
been stated by the doctor. He says that
he could not support me properly. He
has a practice In Brooklyn from which
he has a splendid income"

PEACE In CHINA
BELIEVED NEAR
Rebeland Imperial Delegates
Begin Conference.

Shanghai Dec. 19-Hope for a speedy
settlement of China's difficulties scared
to-day with the announcement that a
friendly offer Of assistance had been ten
dered by the six great powers-the United
States, Japan, Great Britain, Russia,
France, and Germany.
This action of the powers will undoubt-
edly have strong influence on the confer
ence between the rebel and the imperial
delegates, which began to-day with re-
markable felicity.
There is little doubt here that WI Ting
fang will win his demand for a republic.
Tang Shao VI insisted that he repre-
sented Premier Yuan Shih kai, and not
the throne, which is regarded as signifi-
cant.
Whatever the form of government de-
cided upon, Yuan will be at its head. If
China is to be an empire, Yuan will be
regent; If q republic, he will be the first
president In the event of either choice,
the stanchest OF the imperial delegates
admit that Manchuria rule is doomed.
The leaders of the revolutionary party
are much chagrined at Tang Shao Yrs
refusal to accept their hospitable ar
rangements for his entertainment while
here. He has taken up his residence in
he private house of a British merchant
and accepted the services Of an armed
guard
To facilitate the transmission Of infor-
nation bearing on the conferences, Yuan
Shih Kai has authorized WI Ting-fang to
use his Ghe premier's) name in his tele-
grams, so he will be able to utilize tele-
graph wires now in imperial hands Yuan
Shih Kai will have the privilege of using
Wu Ting-fang's name to obtain services
over the wires controlled by the repub-
uCans
1t is said that WI Ting-fang will not
agree TO set date for a second confer
enCe until all the imperial forces are re-
turned to the positions they occupied be-
fore the violation OF the armistice

Death Of Joseph TrGVGIi

A telephone dispatch from Palisade
yesterday afternoon stated that a mes
sage had been received there announc-
ing the sudden death of Joseph Trevelli
at Mineral Hill hat morning. No other
particulars we're obtainable.

Eureka County. He came to Eureka
about 35 years ago from Italy and for
several years was engaged in the coal

was started from Palisade to Eureka he
established a boarding house and saloon
at Mineral Station and conducted it for
many years. During a portion Of this
period he had a contract and carried
the mail from Mineral Station to Min
eral Hill. For the last few years he has
been conducting a store and saloon at
Mineral Hill. He was well known and
popular throughout the county and
leaves many friends who will regret to
learn OF his death.
Deceased was a native of Provinces
di Navarro, Italy, and about 90 years OF
age.

EUREKA MINERS NARROW ESCAPE


Near Fatal Accident Caused By Thaw-
ing Out Giant Powder Underground
Four well known Eureka miners had
a narrow escape last Sunday morning
from meeting an untimeiy death in the
Nevada Central Copper Oompany's
mine near Oak Station, about IS miles
north Of Eureka, when q quantity OF
giant powder that was being thawed
out on the level above which they we're
working took fire.
Contrary to the orders OF Supt. G
W. Leighton, a box containing So sticks
Of giant powder was taken into n drift
on the 400 foot level and placed on .
powder thawer that is heated with
candles. The thawer was put in opera
tion and lett to do its work. 1t evident
ly became overheated and ignited the
box, and the powder was soon burning
and throwing out it's deadly gases.
John Hancock, Jr., Alfred Huebner,
Walter Young and Frank King were at
work below in a drift just off the 500
foot level. They heard the noise made
by the burning powder and went to the
mouth of the drift to investigate. They
found the incline filled with smoke
and Immediately started mp the incline
for the surface. All bat Hancock we're
overcome by the fumes of the burning
powder, but succeeded in getting back
to the drift. Hancock got through the
bad air and finally reached the surface.
AS the engine is only in operation while
lifting loads to the surface, and the
engineer vas engaged in sharpening
drills in the blacksmith shop, he had
to go there to notify the latter to start
the engine and blower. The blower
was soon forcing a supply of fresh air
to the men on the 500 foot level and
clearing the mine of the deadly powder
fumes. As soon as the incline was
partly cleared the skip was put in oper.
alton, and on each trip one of the men
at the 500 foot level was brought to the
surface.
The men are reported to have soon re-
covered from the powder fumes with no
bad after effects. They certainly had q
narrow escape. for had the fumes pene-
trated to the mouth of the drift in
which they were working, none Of the
men would have been able to get up the
incline for assistance and fresh air. As
the accident occurred at 1915 q. M, it
is probable the mems condition would
not have been discovered until they
failed to report at the boarding house
for their MONDAY dinner.

E. & P. RAILROAD MATTERS
Temporary Bridge Across the Humboldt River Completed
and Contractors Are Reported Making Every Prepara-
ton to Rush Reconstruction Work-New Traction
Engine Fails to Make Good

Outside OF the preparatory steps being taken at Palisade by
the contractors that are to rebuild the Eureka & Palisade Railway
there is little or no news to offer this week regarding the recon
struction plans of the railway company. No action has as yet been
taken here by the Richmond Eureka Mining Company looking to
the resumption of work in its mines on Ruby Hill. But now that
is known that the contractors have already thrown a temporary
bridge across the Humboldt river at Palisade and are showing
every evidence of soon getting very busy on the main line. the
people are seemingly willing to let well enough alone and await
developments.
While the telephone line to PaEsade has not been giving very
good service for the past few days, the SENTINEL yesterday succeed
ed In getting the following news notes from a correspondent at that
place:
