FOR a New Umbrella.

Before using a new umbrella inject
small quantity of vaseline into the
hinge portions of the frame. Vase
line will not spread like oil and spoil
the covering, and Is a sure preven-
tive against rust. Wet umbrellas
should be stood on their handles to
dry; this allows the water to run out
of them, instead OF into the part
where the silk and ribs meet, thus
causing the metal to rust and the
silk to rot.

Mole and Ermine.
Mole and ermine are much used to-

less black and white fur In the new
millinery than one did last year. Hats
with draped crowns OF rich MORE,
corded silk, velvet or brocade and
with brims of fur are popular, and
many of them are exceedingly likabie,
The Rembrandt tam is easily and sue
cessfully developed In this comblna-
tion, and there are countless other
shapes, small and large, that are as
adaptable.
The big hat whose crown Is entirely
of fur while the brim is of chiffon or
lace fur trimmed is considered exceed
ingly chic and is often very lovely.
Sometimes the crown Of the big nat
Is of white and silver brocade or OF
brocade In some darker coloring. and
the wide brim Is of chiffon, its fiat lay
ers edged with narrow lines OF fur,
and often the whole large shape Is or
velvet or satin or brocade and the fur
Is used merely in a scarf or Danu
around the crown or perhaps In SCARF
and as a border to the brim.
Whole muffs and draped hats or
stunning brocade, with very slight
trimming of fur, are among the I'M

very good looking, though others are

THIRTY-FIVE CONVICTS
BURNED IN IRON CAGE
trapped Like So Many Rats Negroes
Are Roasted Alive.

jackson, Miss, July 22.-Trapped
by flames in the second story of an
antlquated convict cage the first
floor of which was used to store hav.
grain and molasses, thirty-five ne
gro prisoners were burned to death
at the Oakley convict farm, 20 miles
from here last night.
With the flames rapidly eating
away on the only stairway leading to
the second floor the entrapped pris-
oners frantically tore at the heavy
bars that covered the windows, but
to no avail. Their screams brought
the two night guards to the scene be-
fore they had seen the flames and
soon other prison attaches hurried to
the .caeae". Their efforts were futile,
however, Kan the flames drove them
back each time they attempted to lib
crate the men. At last they stood
aEhast when slowly the frantic
screams Of the burning convicts died
away as one after another succumbed
to the flames. Finally all was quiet
and the smell of burning human flesh
permeated the air as the flames burn
ed the last of the building.

preliminary to county conferences

ference and to unite in a resolve to
think and talk about the things that
are worth while.
