HINT/1 PBfoxF"? r? *0 h Hand Made Shirtwaists. A very fashionable white crepe waist has its front, stock and cuffs embroidered with clusters of small, pink roses and forget-me-nots in rib­ bon embroidery. The bunches of flowers have their leaves and stems done in pale, dull shades of green and golden brown. The bunches of flowers are connected by and inter­ spersed with little bowknots and loops and ends of ribbon. This ribbon ef­ fect is produced by outlining the sup­ posed ribbon with a single gold thread and working small black dots in em­ broidery silk, about an eighth of an inch apart between the gold lines. The effect is that of a dainty and novel ribbon. It is no wider, and probably not as wide, as baby rib­ bon. Woman's Box Coat. Loose box coats make exceedingly smart wraps that are eminently com­ fortable as well. This one is adapted to all the range of cloaking materials, but is shown in tan colored cloth with touches of darker velvet and is stitched with corti- celli silk. The spe­ cial features of the model are the mandolin sleeves and the additional lapels which are exceedingly effec­ tive. When liked, however, plain sleeves can be substituted for the larger ones, as shown in the small sketch. The coat is made with fronts and backs and is shaped by means of shoulder, under arm and center back seams. A pocket is inserted in each front and the closing is made invis­ ibly by means of a fly. The extra lapels are applied under the fronts sleeves are cut in one piece each and are finished with plain cuffs, but the plain sleeves are in regulation coat style with uppers and unders. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 4^ yards 21 inches wide, 2% yards 44 inches wide, or 2% yards 52 inches wide, with *4 yard of velvet to trim as illustrated. Dainty Corsage Sachet. The heart-shaped corsage sachet of white satin is to wear around the neck* beneath the lingerie. The rib­ bon edge and bow make a pretty fin­ ish, and it is suspended by a ribbon. Another corsage sachet on this or­ der consists of two pads about two inches square, with a small bow in the center of each. They are fastened to the ends of a strip of baby ribbon. Por the Japanese sachet, made of Japanese silk, a bag 2% by 3 inches, and in the top fasten a Japanese doll's head. Around its neck a rib­ bon is tied, stock fashion. The most popular sachet odors at present are sandal wood, orris and Japanese perfumes. About Sleeves. The very wide sleeves that are be­ ing worn at present undoubtedly tend to take away from the apparent height of the figure, and if you are rather inclined to be short yourself you will do wisely to exercise a judi­ cious supervision and to forbid your dressmaker to indulge in any vagaries either as regards the shape or trim­ ming of your sleeves. You can still have something which.--iv-Jifttite^suffl- # cienily fashionable without adding in an unbecoming way to the width of your figure. Misses' House Jacket. Pretty, tasteful morning jackets are always in demand and make attractive garments for breakfast wear as well as for use during the hours spent in one's own apartments. This one is designed for young girls and is ex­ ceedingly youthful and graceful, its broad collar droop­ ing well over the shoulders and the fitted back giving a trimness and neatness to the fig­ ure. As shown the m a t e r i a l i s sprigged muslin trimmed with frills of embroidery, but there are countless others which are equally appropriate. The jacket is made with fronts and back, the back being laid in tucks to the waist line and the fronts being gathered at the upper edge and stayed by means of an underfacing. The cape collar is arranged over the whole and the neck is finished with a little frill. The sleeves can be in either flowing style and finished with frills or in bishop style with cuffs as may be pre­ ferred. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 37g yards 27 inches wide, 2*4' yards 36 inches wide or 2% yards 44 inches wide, with 7V4 3gards of embroidery to trim as illus­ trated. Rhubarb Pudding. Wash and cut into inch pieces enough rhubarb to nearly fill a three- pint pudding dish. Mix half a nutmeg grated, three cups sugar. Butter the dish thick with cold butter. Put in a layer of soft bread crumbs, then a layer of rhubarb, then a thickness of sugar and a tablespoon of butter cut into little bits. Repeat the layers, having a thick layer of bread crumbs on top. Mix a little melted butter with the top crumbs. Bake about an hour, slowly at first, and serve ho% or cold. Lunch for Children. Because things to eat do not always present an attractive appearance their nourishing quality is not properly ap­ preciated.' The value of dates for children's • • • school luncheons is not fully appreci­ ated. They are rather sticky, bother­ some things, as they are originally purchased, and chcildren rarely care for them. They should be separated and washed, the stone removed, and a peanut or almond, salted preferably, substituted. The date is then rolled in corn starch or powdered sugar, and straightway becomes one of the ap­ petizing trifles dear to youth, and at the same time is healthful and 'nour­ ishing. In the Kitchen. Doughnuts or biscuits may be heat­ ed "amaist as good as new" by put­ ting them in a whole paper bag, sprinkling in a few drops only of, wat­ er, twisting the ends, putting in the oven, raised a little from the bottom on a grate. The oven must be very hot. New nutmegs may be distinguished from the last year's supply by scrap­ ing the surface with the finger. If new, the oil will moisten the spot at once. Mace, when new, is oily. It should always be purchased whole and ground as needed. A Dainty Work Bag. Such pretty little work bags can be made on a foundation of basket work with a piece of dainty silk. The little flat trays to be found in all sizes at Japanese shops are chosen, and the silk sewed on the inside rim. The bas­ ket is first lined and slightly padded with satchet if desired. The silk is gathered in bag fashion at the ton, making a pretty and substantial recep­ tacle for sewing materials or em­ broidery. Marie Antoinette Bodices. The tendency toward the Marie An­ toinette bodice for evening wear is marked. This style is really fascinat­ ing, with its long, pointed waist line, and very full skirt shirred into the skirt band. In white or ivory silk, the mode is ideal, and by next autumn it will be firmly established. This would not appear to admit of any change in the present full skirts, but would rather tend to increase them if anything. The great dresesmakers, at least, seem determined to adhere to the full modes for some time to come. Corset Cover. Shapely corset covers that fit nicely yet are not over snug are in constant demand and never can be too numer­ ous. This one is peculiarly pretty and attractive, is eminently simple and can be made of any of the ma­ terials in vogue for underwear. The model, how­ ever, is of linen batiste with inser­ tion and frills of e m b r o i d e r y a n d bands of beading. The corset cover is cut with fronts and back which are laid in narrow tucks to the waist line, and is closed at the center with a box plait in shirt waist style. Over the upper edge and at the waist line are applied bands of beading that are threaded with rib­ bon by means of which the size is reg­ ulated. The quantity of material required for the medium size is 1% yards of insertion, three yards of edging and 1V£ yards of beading to trim as illus­ trated. Black Is Steady Color. sensible investment, but at the mo­ ment the rule is that any black wrap be elaborate both in design and trim­ ming; bands of colored velvet, or cloth embroidered or edged with gold or silver braid, is an effective trim­ ming and are most used on the black coats. Others again have the white satin facings, embroidered with gold or silver, while still another style has bands of Persian velvet. Pickled Raisins. Make a syrup of one pound of brown sugar, one cup of vinegar, a level tea­ spoon each of cinnamon, allspice, and cloves, and a saltspoon of mace tied in a muslin bag. Heat the syrup to the boiling point and skim. Pour it on one pound of the best raisins on the stem and let stand two days, then put over the fire and let cook quarter of an hour. Pour into a jar and keep for use. To Mark Lingerie. The ready-made medallions, mono­ grams and initial letters for marking lingerie are handy for this purpose. They save hours of hand embroidery, and are as effective as anything that can be done at home. 1 Save all o!d zinc and when chim­ neys are filled with soot put a quan­ tity on the fire. It will carry all soot out of stovepipes and clean the chim­ neys. It is unwise to sprinkle a light car­ pet with tea leaves when sweeping unless they have first been rinsed in water, for otherwise they are apt to stain. Rose petals make a delightful filling for soft pillows. Save them from with­ ered bouquets or from fresh flowers and dry them. They may be treated as for potpourri or used with their own delicate perfume onlyi Never put a bed in an alcove; the air is apt to become stagnant there. Have it right in the room and do riot push it too close to the wall, then the air that comes in from the win­ dow has a chance to circulate"aroun4 the be** SIX DIE IN COLLISION ON INTERURBAN ROAD Accident on Lake Shore Electric Road tn Ohio Also Shows Nearly a Score Badly Hurt. Norwalk, Ohio, dispatch: In the worst accident in the history of the Lake Shore Electric railway six per­ sons were killed and nearly a score others badly hurt as the result of a collision between an eastbound fast electric passenger car and a west­ bound "package freight" car at Wells Corners, a few miles east of this city. The dead are: Charles Peck, Lo­ rain, Ohio; W. W. Sherwood, Garret- son, Ohio; Neil Sullivan, an inspector of safety appliances for the interstate commerce commission, Binghamton, N. Y.; Clarence Ketcham, Lorain, Ohio, Ralph Williams (colored), Indi­ anapolis, Ind.; unidentified man, in his pocket was a key ring with the name George Judd Tayliu, Alliance, Ohio f The accident occurred at a point quite distant from any s immediate means of communication, and assist­ ance was sent from Norwaik, where every physician and nurse in the city was called into service and hurried to the place of the accident on a spe­ cial car. When the injured had been attend­ ed^ to they were placed on a car and brought to this city, where they now are at the St. Charles hotel, the third floor of which has been turned into a hospital. All those who were killed were in the smoking compartment dt the pass­ enger car, and death came instantly, the bodies showing no sign of life when the reScuers went to work after they had recovered from the first shock of the accident. The injuries of several of those hurt are so serious that they may result fatally. CLAIMS TO BE WIDOW OF W, C. WHITNEY 8trange Woman Demands Share of Estate of the Late Millionaire-- She May Be Demented. Mineola. L. I., special:' A strange woman about 40 years of age and dressed in black appeared at the of­ fice of Surrogate Seabury and de­ clared to Clerk Downing that she was the. widow of the late William C. Whitney and wanted tp know why her claim against the deceased mil­ lionaire had not been satisfied. The clerk informed her that there was no claim on file in the surrogate's office and advised her to place it with Har­ ry Payne Whitney, the executor, of New York. The woman said she had mailed the claim to the surrogate by registered letter and had the receipt from the postoflice, but claimed she had left the receipt home when Clerk Down­ ing asked her to produce it. The only statement she would make was: "I am Mrs. William C. Whitney and married him June 10, 1900. My home is in Plainfield, N. J." She appeared to be demented. FARMER'S ESTA1E GOES TO PAY LAWYER'S FEES Negress Wins Suit for Property Left to Her by Father of White Girl--Little Is Left. Jackson, Mich., dispatch: The John Stitt will case, which has been con­ tested in the circuit court twice, was ended so far as this court is con­ cerned. The jury sustained the will. Stitt was a wealthy farmer of Jack­ son county who at death left his en­ tire estate to a negro girl, Etta Mich- en, instead of his own daughter, Mrs. Rose Whitney, the only direct heir. He also appointed Miss Michen ad­ ministratrix. The will was contested on the ground of undue influence and was tried first last October, when the jury disagreed after being out .forty-eight hours. Altogether the case occupied the attention of the court nine weeks, 146 witnesses testified and six of the ltest^ lawyers oi central Michigan were employed. It is believed that when the costs of the case are paid there will be nothing left of the for­ tune. ASKS $6,000,000 FROM ESTATE Independence Company $ays It Paid Stratton Too Much^or Mine. St. Louis, Mo., dispatch: A suit against the estate of W. Scott Strat­ ton, the late Colorado multimillion­ aire, was brought in the United States circuit court of appeals from the United States court at Denver. The ease is one in which Stratton's Inde­ pendence Limited Company seeks to recover $6.<»00,000 from the Stratton estate.

Russians to Exhibit. St. Petersburg cable: The Novoe Vreyma states that Russian exhibi­ tions for the St. Louis exposition have been organized by private initiative. o MOTIVE IN KIDNAPING OF AMERICAN CITIZEN IN TANGIER It is believed that the kidnaping of Ion Perdicaris, an American, and his stepson, Cromwell Varley, a British subject, by Raisuli, the Moorish ban- difcv has a deeper significance than at first appeared, for there is now an Impression that the leader of the ban­ dits in northern Morocco may incite to rebellion the people already dissat­ isfied with the reform which the new •ultan has endeavored to inspire. As Miss Stone was held for ransom so that the depleted treasury of the Ma­ cedonian insurgents might be replen­ ished, it is conjectured that the ban­ dit chief of northern Morocco is hold- Ins his captives for ransom sufficient- // ly large to enable him to successfully overthrow the present sultan and usurp his throne. Mr. Perdicaris, who is a wealthy man, is now 64 years old, having been born in the United States consulate at Athens April 1, 1840. His father, Gregory A. Perdicaris, was a natural­ ized citizen and held the position of consul general. For a while Mr. Per­ dicaris, Sr., was professor of Greek in Harvard. Ion Perdicaris was educated at Trenton Academy and spent the first twenty-five years of his life in Trenton, where the family was fam­ ous for its entertainments. During the civil war it gave liberally to the southern cause. At one time Ion Per­ dicaris seriously contemplated pur­ chasing the Bonaparte estate at Bor- dentown; but having spent several years in Europe and Africa, he finally decided to make Morocco his home. He bought the sultan's old palace a few miles outside of Tangier, and there he and his family have since resided. The chateau of Mr. Perdicaris is built upon a hill, which its owner has named Mount Washington. It is a magnificent place, and has been for years one of the show places and the center of the social life of Tangier. Mr. Perdicaris, who is president of the Hygienic Commission, is, of course, well known to all the diplo­ matic and consular representatives in Tangier. Sir Arthur Nicholson, the British Minister there, is his personal friend, and Mr. Gummere, the Ameri­ can Cbnsul, is another; and both are doing all that is possible to secure his release. He is not unknown to the sultan, and the poor of the Moorish when he purchased his Tangier cha­ teau, and they accompanied him abroad. In his youth he was considered a universal genius, with a talent for nearly everything of interest. He was, In addition to being a writer, painter and musician, a fine athlete and much Interested in the occult. He was an enthusiastic supporter of Home, the Spritualist, and was also a student of the^doctrines of Swedenborg. Raisuli, the brigand, whose band carried him off, has been at Mr. Per­ dicaris' house, and has always been well treated there; but on these visits he learned enough to know his host was the kind of person for whcHfi^he could command a large ransom. Mr. Perdicaris has the reputation of being generous and kind to all who come in contact with him, and he was especi­ ally kind to the Moors, who are now, according to his letter to the Ameri­ can Consul, treating him with as much consideration as a captive could expect. In this connection it i3 interesting to know that Raisuli, ap­ preciating the delicate health of Mr. Perdicaris and the fact that he might suffer from the absence of accus­ tomed comforts, sent back to his cha­ teau for bedding for him. This also illustrates the daring of the bandits, who, being hand-in-hand with the Moorish soldiery, have little to fear. The kidnaping was accomplished with great ease and without exciting suspicion. Raisuli was well known to Mr. Perdicaris, having often been treated kindly there. On the evening of May 18, Raisuli with a few of his band entered the place, and while some of them attacked the servants who interfered, the owner of the cha­ teau and his stepson were carried out, put upon horses and led away. Distance is counted by time in Mo­ rocco, and as the captives were car­ ried off to about a day's journey, it is probable that they are not fifty miles from Tangier. Itear Admiral Chadwick's South At­ lantic squadron will be sent to Tan­ gier from the Azores, and Rear Ad­ miral Jewell has been ordered to make a demonstration off Tangier in order to convince the Moroccan au­ thorities of this government's earnest­ ness in the demand for Mr. Perdica­ ris' release. This is not the first time the United States warships have been sent to Morocco. In 1801 Tripoli de­ clared war against the United States, demanding tribute. Instead, this gov­ ernment sent a squadron of frigates, under Commodore Preble, and after four bombardments and several land engagements the Barbary States ceased hostilities, and the Salli Rovers ceased to prey upon the Mediterra­ nean and the North Atlantic. MADE HIS OWN WAY. Aristocratic Englishman Has Had Checkered Career. Romantic in the extreme has been the career of Baron Lyveden, who has just arrived with a parliamentary party from England to tour this coun­ try. By going on the stage when a boy he offended his father, an aristo- -JUUUS. City have every reason to know him, for to them he has become a genuine benefactor. Count de Buisserat, the Belgian Minister, is his neighbor, oc­ cupying a villa adjoint Mr. Perdi­ caris. The captive has long been known as a sculptor of ability, as a painter and as a musician; and it is said that it waB his love for the beautiful that led him to make Tangier his home, for it is to-day the one place on the borders of the Mediterranean which has not been Europeanized. It is still a very foreign town, and years ago, when, as a young man, he saw it first, he was captivated with its appearance. He subsequently returned to it and pur­ chased the palace El Minzah, which overlooks the sapphire waters of the Mediterranean. Early in hie life he passe* a good deal of his time in New York, where his accomplishments were thoroughly appreciated. He had studied art and music in Europe, and for a while re­ sided in Ix^ndon, where, about thirty- five years ago, he was contributing papers on art topics to "The Galaxy. His parents continued to reside in a fine residence in Trenton until 1877, Pen Picture of Helen Gould. Miss Helen Miller Gould probably receives more requests for her photo­ graph than any other woman in Amer­ ica, but never responds favorably. She has sat for her picture two or three times, always with the strict un­ derstanding that no one else gets one of the photographs without her con­ sent. As an additional precaution she buys the original1 plates. Miss Gould is a brunette, with brown hair and eyes. Her face is not pretty, but it is singularly sweet in expression. Her voice is low, pleasant to hear. cratic clergyman. The youth came to America and became a waiter in a Bowery restaurant. Next he was a fisherman down in North Carolina, and when he tired of that life he worked his way bask to England and there became a sailor. Finally he wound up this part of his career on the American liner Paris, now the Philadelphia, on which he was a steward. In 1901 he succeeded, on the death of the second Lord Lyveden, to the titles and estates, which include some 15,000 acres of the best land in Northamptonshire, and since that time he has become one of the most popu­ lar peers in the United Kingdom. Col. Pope's Rise to Success. Col. Albert A. Pope of bicycle fame has reached his 64th year. He is hale and hearty and Just as young in spir­ it as he was the first day he turned out a bicycle.

He also read the biographies of big men and tried to emulate them. ILLINOIS STATE NEWS HAS GRUDGE AGAINST FAT MEN I VINDICATION FOR JUDGE HOPE. Man at Chicago Seeks to Kill Those Who Look Prosperous.

Thus far there has been no change in situation at Okawville regarding the Southern Illinois electric railway and work is at a standstill. The con­ tractors have not resumed work on the grading. The promoters say the cause of the present trouble is the refusal of the Cincinnati company to finaricef't-he project as it had proposed to do.' Unusual Funeral.

One who knew Jokai says tnat the novelist never troubled to work out his plot in detail beforehand. "He trusted to his imagination for guid­ ance- as to what his characters were to do at a given moment, and often when he had completed a chapter of a feuilleton which half Hungary was waiting to read he would remark to his friends, as the printer's devil rushed away with the copy, 'I should like to know what those people will find to do and say to-morrow.'" Unhappy International Marriage. Baroness Halkett, eldest daughter of Anson Phelps Stokes, no longer makes even an outward show of living with her Austrian husband, and there will be legal separation before long, it is thought.

Her sister, who married Robert Hunter, head of the Universi­ ty Settlement, is leading an ideally happy life. People Not Sociable Enough. Charles M. Russell, a Montana cow­ boy artist, who visited New Jersey recently, has returned to his Montana home, and in an interview says: "I'd rather live in a place wherp I know somebody and where everybody is somebody.
