Niagara Falls, June 9.-American
suggestions for effecting peace with
Mexico were presented to the Huer-
ia delegates today by the Argentine,
Brazilian and Chilean mediators. It
is reported the American plan pro-
vides for the recognition of the dele
gates from President Carranza with
out requiring a formal armistice and
regardless of the constitutionalist
protestations that no provisional
government for Mexico will be ar
ranged here. The mediators are
now convinced that Carranza may
be trusted to stop actual fighting
while officially denying that truce
exists. This concession has been
made because the constituencies
army is unfavorable to any compro-
mise with Huerta.

any official communication rescind-

.F|REMEN DID
NOBLE FIGHTING
Saved Much Valuable PrOperty on
North Magnolia Street this
Afternoon

A little after l o'clock this after
noon fire alarm came in from the
Linwood Apartments, leased and
opearted as an apartment house by
Mrs. Beaton, the widowed sister of
Mrs. Joseph Malever. The fire was
in the ceiling of the two-story ell at
the rear of the house and spread
with incredible rapidity so that when
the firemen arrived at the scene,
that portion of the roof was in a
great blaze
One stream of water was soon
playing on the fire from the hydrant
at the front corner OF the house.
There was some little delay in cou-
ping the one at the next corner on
Main street. In a very short time,
however, there were three streams
of water on the house and the roof
and inside were covered with men,
paid and volunteer firemen and citi-
zens.
A great deal Of the furniture was
taken out, as it looked like the
house would burn up in a few min
utes. When the water began to
play on the fire, the flames on the
outside was extinguished in a few
minutes, but smoke poured from ev-
was smouldering fire inside the root
This, however, was soon out The
damage is considerable to both house
and furniture, probably more done
by water than fire. Much of the
goods carried out was damaged.
Mrs. Beaton has some insurance
of her household goods. but whether
enough to make the damage good
or not We do not know. The house,
which is owned by the Edwards es-
tate, was insured and the loss will
be fully covered.
The house was formerly the home
of the late Mr.. and Mrs Judson Ed
wards and of the Edwards brothers
of this city and Mrs. Henry Stokes,
and is a very large residence and
quite valuable.

Checks the VOGUE.

Checks are used almost as literally
as stripes and plaids. Blackand-white
checked street suits are shown in all
the newest cuts. They are always a
good choice for the women who need
not be very economical. For the wo-
man who can have only one suit the
checked one is hardly the right choice,
It is much more noticeable than one
of plain color, and therefore the owner
of one tires of it more quickly than
she would tire of a plain colored suit.
Moreover, black-and-white checked
wooden goods does grow soiled rather
quickly. Small as the amount Of white
seems to be at a glance in such suit
it is really half of the whole surface
so it is hardly to be wondered at that
it soon needs to be sent to the cleaner.

USE FOR OLD LACE CURTAINS
May Be Employed for Effective De-
signs in Decorative Needle
work as Suggested.

The housewife who is the owner Of
some really pretty old lace curtains
has in them valuable materials for
economical decorative needlework if
the fairly good parts of the curtain
display effective designs. If the de-
sign is small and dainty and enough
duplicates Of it are intact, then they
may be appliqued successfully to net
for yokes, cuffs and even panels for
children's wash dresses. For the lat
ter purpose the pattern should be
sharply cut out and arranged to the
best advantage on background Of
linen or washable material and basted
firmly, taking care that all of 1t is
perfectly fat. Either buttonhole the
outline fnVisipIy in white or use a
thicker thread and holder stitch Let
the applique stand out distinctly; if
fancy dictates, work in veinings and
other markings to suit your taste.
1t is comparatively easy matter
to convert the larger unchanged
pieces of old lace curtains into a va
riety of table and cushion covers, etc.
By combining with linen or batiste
very effective bureau or table covers
can be made in many attractive pat

On the Road.

The general never went anywhere
without a well-stocked library, guide
books, instruction books, maps. All
were consulted long and often, and
with a childlike faith that Henrietta's
sarcasm and the sign-posts had not
been able to shake.
Bartlett knew of this unfortunate
tendency of the generals and resolved
to get rid of those books and maps and
papers. With every mile indicated
and nicely tabulated, every turn and
landmark mentioned, it would be al
most impossible to get off the beaten
route, and they must avoid telegraph
stations and post offices as much as
possible. The success of the scheme
lay IN keeping Bachelor away from
all touch and communication with the
city They must, if possible, get lost,
