Carelessness Around Open
Fires Causes Two Deaths
in Vicinity.

Two more horrible tragedies were
added Sunday to the list Of deaths by
burning that have occurred during the
last month, and save for the variance
in names there is but little difference
ia the terrible details.
The setting for each tragedy is the
same An open fireplace. the swish

small child, a piercing cry, the flash

unimagtnable, and then the comfort

Within the last month more than
six persons have been burned to
death In Clarksburg and the surround
ing territory.

fire at the home of her father-in-law,

Elizabeth Ellen Sheets, age 21 years.
wife Of Andrew j. Sheets became ig-
nited and before the blaze was extin-
guished she was fatally burned, death
relieving her suffering at 2:SO o'clock
Sunday morning.
One very sad part Of the affair was
that Mrs. Sheets was only married
two weeks ago in her Pennsylvania
home, and this was here first visit
to her husbands people, coming here
after spending some time on a honey
moon trip.
The funeral was held from the
home Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock,
the burial following in the Sheets
cemetery.
The second terrible accident hap
pehed Saturday, when Charles ColiI-
ski, the three-year-old son of Tony
coiinski, Of Simpson, about twelve
miles east of here, was fatally burned,
while playing near an open crate fire
in his home. The small boy did not
die instantly but suffered long enough
to be brought to the st. Marys hos
pital here, where he died Sunday
morning.
The body was taken to Simpson
Sunday evening on the accommodation
train, and the funeral will be held
there Tuesday afternoon from the Col

WA STE or WATER
UP BEFORE BOARD
Drastic Action against the
Same is Likely to Be
Taken.
Taken.

The water works ana sewerage
board is in session this afternoon
having under discussion the need
less waste Of water throughout the
city by letting the water run to pre-
vent freezing and some drastic
measures must be. employed to check
this useless waste of altered water.
A~report of the secretary shows the
number of gallons of water dis
charged in twenty-four hours
through different sized openings and
under different pressure to be as
follows:
IA three-quarter inch service line
under pressure of sevonty4ave pounds
per square inch, the average
pressure throughout the city except
ing the highest points in the Wine
addition, will discharge sl16, 900 gal
Ions in twenty-four hours; and a
one inch service line under the same
pressure will discharge $4,000 GAL
Ions in twenty-four hours. A one
half inch service line will discharge
under pressure of seventy-fve
pounds per square inch s5,sO4 gal
lsns rin twenty-four hours.
In view of the fact that the water
is being filtered at very great ex-
pense and the needless waste Of
water becomes burden on each in
diyidual consumer through the ne
cessity of Increased revenue to meet
the Increased expense OF publication
and pumpage. Active cooperation
on the part Of consumers to check
the waste of water during the cold
weather would help to reduce the
operating expenses Of the depart

PLAIN LINES MOST POPULAR
This Seasons Linen Suits Are Made
With None or Very Little
Trimming.

While the coarser linens are used,
those made of the finer twisted thread
are liked quite, as well. Very little
trimming is needed The lace collar
and cuffs or the lingerie frill at neck
and wrists suffice, though, of course
buttons and buttonholes, lace and EN-.
broidery may figure as trimmings
Oddly Of cut is, however, the only
thing necessary for those who wish
something different 1t is surely diff
ferent enough to have the back of the
coat and skirt cut across on the bias
or otherwise manipulated. Yet, such
manipulations offer no difficulties tc
the laundress. These suits may BIZ
made coat and skirt fashion or in the
coat and dress effect. Both styles
have their good points, many consid
ering the former the most economical
| since a fresh blouse may be donned
as often as the wearer pleases. And
sleeves and necks do have way OF
becoming soiled before 1t is necessary
to send the entire dress to the laun.
dry.
Many dresses are being made, too
| in linen and kindred weaves. The Sc.
verify of these all-in-one gowns Is be
ginning to disappear. While the puffs
seen on taffetas are not available there
are pipings, inlayings and bands In
contrasting fabrics.
Fancy linens and linens with open
work borders are effectively utilized
though one who is at all clever at de
signing will be able to achieve very
fine suits with the plain sorts Its
the design, cut and finish that counts
also the accessories. One girl, for ex
ample, Is to look smart in her white
linens this summer; the only color
! she is to add is sapphire or coral, az
the spirit may move her. Whether she
chooses the blue or the odd pink
shade she will wear 1t in the shape OF
silk stockings, ribbon watch fob and
necktie, and no other color will ar
pear except she chooses to carry q
parasol in the color she Is wearing.

Wired Feathers for Hats.

AS the hats are all trimmed very
high wired feathers arranged to sew
on hats may be purchased. and flow.
ers also in pompon effects. One OF
these feather tower effects costs $3.50;
others are near the one dollar margin;
the price varies according to the quail.
ity and kind OF feathers. Aigrettes are
are still in evidence, though more in
white than black. In buying white
ostrich feathers Of the less expensive
grade it is well to run ones hand
gently down the length of the quill
pressing back the feather to see that
1t has been properly dyed, as these
are apt to show the blown of the nat
ural feather in the outdoor light and

For the Summer Resort.

The very thin negligees are SO de-
lightful that one sometimes forgets
they may not be practical, for many
summer resorts are cool at night and
in the early hours of the day, and for
these places 1t is better to take some
thing of heavier weight, such as an
albastross negligee. These may be had
with a deep collar of dotted Swiss,
made with Valeciennes insertion and
edging and in pastel colors. The
sleeves are finished with a deep cuff Of
dotted Swiss and lace.
