FANCIES OF FASHION
CUAiNTNESS SHOWN IN MANY OF
SEASONS MODES.
C~hangeabIe Silks Most Appropriate for
Trimming That Just Now Is
Much Faya~s3-Embroid-
cry on Serge Dresses.

Ruches trim some of the newest
silk froCks. Tie old fashioned double
bOx-pleating, stitched in the middle
and pinked on the edges, is used to
edge sleeves, fchus and the edges OF
skirts.
The Changeable silks are especially
appropriate for this kind of trimming.
They are quaint in themselves, and
when made with fiChus and the new
self-trimming they hint of grandmoth-
cTs day-Only they are much lOvelier!
A charming frock brought from
Paris was of blue and green change
able silk, with a fichu Of very fine
tulle embroidered in blue coinspots.
The yoke of the gown was of plain
tulle. Sleeves were pulled and elbow
length. The skirt opened at the side
over rufied underskirt.
Some of the new tailored serge
dresses are showing broad bands Of
embroidery around the hips. Blue
serge is trimmed with light blue; red
with a brighter shade, and SO IN.
Lingerie frills Of sheer batiste or
net are used on many of the serge
frocks.
A lovely white frock Of sheer linen
had heavy embroidery in beige colored
yarn.
Many summer frocks have scarfs
designed for them. These are draped
around the shoulders in the form Of
little nantes. One in soft liberty
satin was crossed at the back and the
ends finished with deep silk fringe.
For those in mourning, scarfs of
crepe lined with mousseline de sole
are worn.
Figured tulle over white silk is
used for little separate coats for
young girls.
White corded silk is also favored
for the little ones. Trimmings in
black soutache or braid give a cry
chic finish. Irish lace and "toile de
Jouy" are also much used on fancy
coats and froCks.
Hats of the cretonne are made over
little bonnet wire shapes, fitting quite
closely.
Natural colored pongee dresses are
trimmed with scarlet or bright blue.
This is particularly favored for young
girls who need simplicity with a sug-
gestion of brightness.-New York Sun.

Knew Just What to Do.

A parlor lamp which did duty for
the same young mar seven nights in
the week had struck and was slowly
going out. The red glow grew fainter
and fainter, and as the shadows
merged one by n into the gloom a
weird and eerie feeling crept into the
young girls soul. George" she ask
ed, in tones that were tremulous with
suppressed agitation, what would
you do IL you were strapped hand and
foot in a chair while a candle, stuck
in the top of a key of gunpowder a
foot from your head, burned slowly
down and down and DOWN."
And George, who has been gazing
expectantly at the lamp, answered. :"
would blow 1t out"
She shivered.

The Window Seal,

Outlines it is in%convenient to go to
the expense of having a window seat
built in a bay window that graces a
college girls room. 1t is surprisingly
cheap to have one built out of store
boxes. Do not make the mistake Of
having the usual narrow seat built,
but rather a broad, serviceable n
that will permit comfortable, reclining
among the pillows and cushions. This
latter may not be SO graceful as the
smaller seat, but 1t Is surely mor
comfortable. Large divan covers will
hide the material that the seat is col
structed OF.

Bows PLAY With a Gun.

Wessington.-A sad accident hap
pened on the +. +. Demming farm nine
miles north Of this place, resulting in
the death of the little 5-year-old daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Demming. A shot
gun had been left in a wagon in the
barnyard, but the cartridges had all
been removed from the gun. In the
afternoon the children, a couple Of
boys aged 7 and 8 years respectively,
and the little girl were playing about
the premises. They were naturally
attracted by the gun, and securing it,
pretended to be shooting rabbits. FL
nally the pretense paled to them and
they began looking around for cart
ridges. Knowing where their father
kept them, they climbed up on top Of
the cupboard and got one, but it hal
pened to be an old rusty that
would not go into the gun very easily,

breech was forced shut the charge was
set off, taking effect in the little girls

BURGLARS at Aberdeen.

Aberdeen.-Safe blowers entered the
building of the Minneapolis Brewing

pany during the night, cracked the
safe in each establishment, and got
away with about $50 in cash. In each
instance the safe was a total wreck,

About two months ago my hands

Sioux Falls.-A petition in volunta-

federal court by David w. Cuthbert-
son and his wife, Emma G.. CuthbcTt-

being given as their postoffiCe address.
The husband schedules his liabilities
at $G3, 3S5.31 and his assets at $7,035.
Mrs. C~uthbertson schedules her lia-
bilitics at the same amount as her hus-
band, with no assets. The assets of
the husband consist of real estate and
personal property and insurance poll
cies of $4,000. The full amount Of the
real and personal property is claimed
to be exempt, leaving only the insur-
ance policies for the benefit of credit
ors. Cuthbertson formerly was en-
gagged in business at Carroll, Iowa, and
his liabilities were incurred at that
time. The heaviest single items OF
Indebtedness are judgments secured
in 1903 by the First National bank Of

College, and, pitching his tent in Fred.
best years of his life to his profession.
DR.. Pitts was quite a noted man
and had a large and increasing prac-
tice. His round of calls included
Bradford. He was well acquainted
with her people and took a lively in
terest In everything that p~ertained
to their welfare. He heartily seconded
their efforts in building the little
church. DR.. Pitts was also a man OF
musical and literary turn of mind.
Just prior to the dedication Of the
church he was inspired to write a
song to be used on dedication day. He
said, speaking of his songs, 81 call
them inspirations, as they came to
me with force, and l had to write them
out"

wind. And as he thought of this little
sanctuary surrounded by these great
giants of the forest whom God planted
there, as If to protect His chosen ones
from harm, he penned this title, THE
Little Brown Church in the Vale" to
his song and wrote:
There's a church In the valley by the
wildwood,
No livelier place in the dale:
No spot is so dear TO my childhood
AS the little brown church In the vale.
How sweet on a bright Sabbath morning
To list to the clear ringing bell;
It's tones so sweetly are calling,
Oh, come to the church in the vale.
There, close by the church In the valley,
Lies one that l loved so well:
She sleeps, sweetly sleeps, meath the will
low;
Disturb not her rest in the vale.
There. close by the side of that loved
one,
Meath the tree where the wild flowers
bloom,
When the farewell hymn shall be chanted
l shall rest by her side in the tomb.
CHORUS.
Oh, come, come. come, come,
Come to the church in the wildwood,
Oh, come to the church in the vale;
No spot Is so dear to my childhood
AS the little brown church in the vale.
This little bit of history will correct
a wrong impression that "The Little
Brown Church in the Vale" is only a
child of the imagination, and to as.
sure all that 1t Is "a u enough
church." and can be seen by any one
who will make a pilgrimage to Brad
ford. THE Little Brown Church" .till

COST EXCEEDED RESOURCES

All bids submitted on the construc-
ton OF the Confederate Memorial In
stitute were rejected yesterday at a
meeting in Washington of the execu-
tive committee of the Confederate Me-
mortal Association. The architects.
Messrs. Bissell e Slnkler, of Philadel-
phia. were directed TO prepare new de-
signs which VIII be capable of bids
within the amount OF money which
the association has to eXpend.
MISUNDERSTANDING j. Taylor Ely
son, president OF the Confederate Me-
mortal Association. returned to the
city last night. The other members OF
the executive committee are General
Robert White, Wheeling. w. Va. chair
man; Colonel Thomas Kenan. Raleigh,
y. c.; Captain ]. NJ Hickey. Wash
ington. D c.. and Judge George L
Christian. of Richmond.
Exceeded Resources.
When the bids on the construction
OF the institute were opened on Mon
day of last week, It was found that
the lowest exceeded the sum total OF
money in hand for the purpose of con-
struction. This was a surprise to the
committee, inasmuch as 1T had been
expected that the plans previously
adopted weer such that the cost would
not be greater than the available cash.
Feeling that there is no way in sight
in which to secure more money. the
committee could not see its way clear
to go into debt, and. in fact, felt that
1t ought not to DO So
Probably about two months will now
be consumed by the architects in pre-
pairing. the new plans, in which the
building will be so modified in general
design as to bring the cost within reach
of the association. 1t is hoped that
this can be done without materially
reducing the size or detracting from
the beauty and symmetry of the struc-
ture. The committee regrets that any
further delay should have become nee
cssary.
In its advertisement the COMMITTEES
stipulated that 1t should have ten days
within which to consider the PROPOSE
tions OF contractors. and in considera
ton Of the unexpectedly high prices
this was taken advantage of. After
due consideration It was determined
to reject all the proposals.
The site for the institute, when erect
ed. is to be on the Boulevard, in the
western part OF the city. A large lot,
$40 by $50 feet is 10 be used, having
been donated by the State and by Lee
Camp of Confederate Veterans. as
part OF the Soldiers Home grounds.

OFFICER T|NSLEY
FIRED FOR CAUSE
Policeman Stone Given Fifty
Dollar Fine for Being Drunk
While on Duty.

In line with its expressed determi-
nation to maintain the highest dsci-
pline compatible with the best inter-
ests of the force, the Board Of Police
Commissioners last night tried three
officers on charges, Gismissing one and
filming the other two.
T. ". Tinsley, of the First District,
was charged with being generally in
efficient as police officer. and, after
hearing both sides of the case, the
board dismissed him forthwith. In
the charges made against him 1t was
said that Tinsley participated in a
boys rock battle instead of breaking
II up in the usual way, and that he
instructed woman he saw rolling a
perambulator down the street to re-
move her kindergarten from the side
walk. The mother voiced strong COM
plant. and the matter came to the ears
OF the higher officials Tinsley was
formerly n member OF the Fire Dc
partment.
w. r. Stone. also of the First Dis
trict. was fined $50 for being drunk
while on duty The fine is usually
heavier, but Stone has but recently
been elected. and the board considered
this as modifying circumstance.
J. a. Baughan, of the Third District
washington Ward). was fined So for
leaving the city without permit. He
went only as far as Forest Hill. but
he became involved in an alteration
there with a man, and was fined af-
forwards by magistrate $3.50.
The dismissal of Tinsley created a
vacancy. and the board elected j. H.
Du Buque of 4i5 North Thirty-second
Street in the formers stead. Du
Buquc is an electrician by trade
The three men tried last night were
ell recruits More charges have re-
gently been preferred and sustained
against new men than against the old
or members of the force. despite the
fact that that they were thoroughly
instructed to their duties before
being assigned to work
