Commissioner's Report on Hamlet
Wreck.
Basing its announcement on find
ings as a preventative in further rail
road wrecks, the North Carolina cor
poration commission rendered a decis
ion of the wreck of two trains , last
Sunday evening on the Seaboard Air
Line Railway near Hamlet. This is
an endorsement of the block system,
and recommends such installation. The
commission ordered that a report of
of its findings be mailed to President
Walters, of the railroad company.
The report sets forth those who were
examined as persons having know
ledge of the facts concerning the
wreek. There is also set forth in this
report these several facts:
"This wreek was caused by the
failure of agents of the railroad com
pany to observe and obey the rules
and regulations of the company gov
erning the movement of trains." It
would serve no useful purpose for the
corporation commission to find which
agents are guilty of negligence in thi9
A- J l r -1 i-i .

binding or conclusive upon any one
and might be prejudicial in other in
vestigations. The purpose of our in
vestigation, as all understand it is
that the corporation commission
might take such measures 'within its
powers as to prevent the recurrence
f such accidents. We are satisfied
that the Wreck would not have oc
curred had the block system been in
operation on the portion of the road
where it occurred. The operator at
Rockingham and the operator at
Hamlet, only six miles apart, per
mitted trains to leave these places at
about the same instant of time, meet
ing each other, &nd neither knew
that this" had been done until the
trains were beyond their control. This
could not have happened under the
block system. Eight passenger and
freight trains, besides the special
trains daily, go over the Seaboard Air,
Line's side-track between Hamlet and'
Monroe. We have no power to order
the block system of signals to be put
in operation on this section of the
road, but we do most earnestly rec
ommend that the Seaboard Air Line
Railway install the block system ser-
. vice between Hamlet and Monroe as
soon as practicable."

A Criminal Ring.
Salisbury, Special. What is believ
ed to be a gang of counterfeiters, has
been located in thiscity by Sheriff
Julian, of Rowan county.. The -discovery
was made through two silver
pieces sent to the sheriff from Cleve
land, parties at that place having pro
cured the spurious coin while in Sal
isbury. Federal officers are expected
' to take a hand in running down the
counterfeiters.
New York City. One of the latest
variations of the shirt waist is the
one that gives the ' suggestion of a
coat. It is double, breasted, plain,
finished with tailor severity and is
altogether chic and smart for certain
occasions. Made from linen, French
pique, duck or similar material it
makes a most satisfactory waist for
golf, tennis, riding and the like and
also for general morning wear. Made
from light weight flannel it is admir
able for outings in the mountains or
by ,the seashore, while it suits both
the! separate waist and entire gown
equally well. As ilustrated white
butcher's" linen is used, held by pearl
buttons.
The waist is made with fronts and
Back and is finished at the neck with
coat collar and lapels. The left
front is supplied with a pocket and
the sleeves are in shirt waist style.
The chemisette is entirely separate
and closed at the back while 'the
waist is closed at the front with but
tons and buttonholes.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four yards
twenty-one, three and a half yards
twenty-seven or two and three
eighths yards thirty-six inches wide.
PONGEE PARASOL EMBROIDERY.
Quite oriental is a pongee parasol
embroidered with the characteristic
old Chinese dragon. One may not be
over anxious to display a fondness
for these dragons but I have seen
some waists with these dragons done
on the front in self color that were
very handsome.
EMBROIDERED BABY CAPS.
The baby caps cut from a straight
piece of embroidery, shaped at s the
ends, and trimmed with lace around
the face, are very nice for the small
baby . whosev caps so soon become
rumpled, for they spread out flat upon
their-draw strings, and may be wash
ed and ironed with very little trouble
The particular point in their con
struction is to shape the ends propar
ly so that the cap fits well about the
back of the littie head- .
i Fancy Blouse Waist.
The fancy waist is in constant de
mand and new and fresh designs are
therefore quite certain to find a
hearty welcome. This one is abso
lutely novel and can be treated in
various ways. In the illustration
white mercerized batiste is combined
with a simple all-over lace edged
with frills of Valenciennes, the effect
being as dainty and chic as well
can be. All the many lingerie
materials are, however, appropriate,
and the trimming portion can be of .
-m . 1 1 "1
emoroiaery quite as wen as oi iace
or it can be cut from the material
and embroidered by hand. Indeed,
countless variations might be. sug
gested. In addition to all these, uses
-the waist makes an admirable one
for the popular thin silks and serves
equally well for the separate blouse
and the entire gown.
There is a fitted lining which can
be used or omitted as material ren
ders desirable and the waist itself
consists of the front and the backs
that are tucked to form a deep yoke.
The front portion of the trimming is
cut in two sections that are lapped
one overs the other and are held by
ornamental buttons, while that of
the back consists of straight straps
and curved portions. The closing is
made invisibly beneath the box pleat
at the back, and there is a choice
allowed of elbow . or full length
sleeves.
The quantity of material required
for the medium size is four and one
half, yards twenty-one, three and a
quarter yards . twenty-seven or two
and" a quarter yards forty-four inches
wide, with one yard of all-over lace
and twelve yards of- edging.
SKIRT AND. WAIST ALIKE.
Skirt and waist alike are favored
for sporting costumes, and are made
of light weight flannels and serges.
There are manyjdays when even light
weight flannel is burdensome, how
ever, and for such weather linen or
pongee are best liked for all-alike
suits. .
NEW MOTOR WRAPS.
The newest race and motor wraps
are made of dyed shantung silks.
A FRAGRANT POMANDER. '
Take a fine sound orange and stick

dry, but will still smell deliciously

HOLDER FOR EOTJGHS.
A simple holder for- fruit tree
boughs, which we shall soon be able
to use for decoration, is a part of
the bamboo pole on which rugs are
rolled when bought. Cut it the de
sired length and cut a hole in the
side several inches long. Close the
end of the rod with a wooden peg
cr a large cork and fill with water
to a height a little less than the side
aperture. Put long branches in at the
top and shorter twigs at the side. This
is an artistic decoration for a Jap
anese tea or luncheon. -
. MARKING CLOTHES.
How many women adhere to the
old-fashioned method of marking
clothes with a new steel pen and
marking ink? It is the simplest
thing in the world to mark linen with
a stencil and orush. Each member
of the family should have his own
stencil, which costs but little if only
initials are used. The boy or girl at
school will need the full name, which
costs more. An entire wardrobe may
be marked in half an hour's time by
means of stencils, and the danger of
ink spreading is entirely obviated.
LAUNDERING SILK HANDKER
CHIEFS. Silk handkerchiefs should be soaked
for a short time in a prepared lather
of boiled soap and warm 'water, says
a writer in the Economist. They
should then be squeezed out with the
hands and rinsed in cold water, to
which two tablespoonfuls of alcohol
are added to every quart, after which
they should be squeezed as dry as
possible, but not wrung. Finally, they
should be laid in cotton, rolled up,
and ironed as soon as possible on
the wrong side, with a cloth between
the iron and silk.
DELICATE FABRICS RENEWED.
To make delicate fabrics look like
new: Boil one cupful of rice in three
quarts of water; drain and use water
for starch. Wet the cloths in it,
wring, roll in dry cloth for an hour
or two, then iron. (The rice comes
handy for dinner.) Corn starch is
better than laundry starch for stif
fening lace curtains or other laces.
Starch of all kinds should become
lukewarm before using. Hot starch
turns dainty colors dark and ruins
their beauty. Dissolve two ounces of
jowdered gum arabic in a quart of
boiling water, strain, and keep bot
tled. A little added to starch for
dresses and skirts (white or colored)
gives an appearance of newness, and
they will -keep stiff and clean longer
than when starched with ordinary
clear starch.
Corn Mush, Sandwiches. Cut cold
corn mush into thin slices, dip in
flour, and fry. When done, place be
tween slices of bread, well buttered;
let them stand for three or four min
utes. , -
Beet Relish. One quart of cooked
chopped beets, ' one quart of raw
chopped cabbage, one-half teacupfhl
of horseradish, two teacupfuls of su
gar, one table spoonful of salt, vinegar
to moisten thoroughly.
Cheese Salad. Color neufchatel
cheese - slightly with green vegetable
coloring and mould it into the forms
of small eggs. Place lettuce leaves
on individual plates to form small
nests and put the moulded eggs into
them. Sprinkle the eggs with pink
sugar and serve with salad dressing.
Southern Sweet Bread. Stir into
one teacupful of cane syrup one tea
spoonful of soda and add to this one
half cupful of sweet -.milk, one tea-spoonful-of
spice and ginger mixed, a
pinch of salt, two tablespoonfuls of
melted butter, a well-beaten egg, and
sufficient meal to make a stiff bat-
ter. Bake quickly.
Minced Mutton on Toast. Take
remnants of cold roast mutton and
force through meat chopper, then
heat very hot in a frying pan with
a sufficient quantity of gravy or hot
water to keep it moist. Season with
salt and pepper and a few grains of
mustard. Remove from fire and cov
er over buttered pieces of toast al
ready arranged on serving platter.
Dot bits of outer over the top.
Goldenrod Eggs. Hard-boil yolks
of two eggs (by dropping them into
boiling water and letting them sim
mer for fifteen minutes;) drain and
press through a sieve. Toast two
pieces of bread; make one-half cup
of cream sauce, pour over the toast.,
Then heap on the yolks,, season, and
stand in a hot over for two minutes,
to reheat and serve immediately. They
may be garnished with parsley or
celery-
CATCHES RABBITS IN NUMBER.
Victim Traps Himself and Resets
The . Snare for Others.
Consul General Bray reports from
Melbourne that'a.new rabbit trap is
being used in Australia with great
success, whereby rabbits may be
caught alive in very large numbers.
It is used in connection with . small
trap yards, diagrams for the construc
tion of which are supplied by the
patentee of the traps. The trap it
self is 18 inches long, 12 inches high
and 6 inches in width. It has a bal
anced moving floor and a door at
each end, which opens and closes au
tomatically. The weight of a rabbit
on the inverse end of a floor Lcses
the door behind him by which he has
entered and opens the door in front
leading to the trap yard,, so that the
rabbit ha3 no option but to go on,
and when he leaves the trap it goes
bock to its former position, thus re
seting itself. The small trap yards
are constructed of double-wire netting
fences, in the spaces between which
green fodder or hay is cultivated or
provided, and, although these foods
cannot be reached by the rabbits, it
entices them to enter through the
traps to try and get out. the fodder
from the other side. Two, three or
more traps may be used in connec
tion with each trap yard. The inven
tion has been tried with great suc
cess on several extensive ranches in
Australia, and the inventor has a
number of certificates from leading
ranchmen, one of whom states that
with two of the traps set at a small
water hole he caught 630 rabbits la
one night.
INSTEAD OF HASH.
A writer in an exchang9 suggests
that the remains of. a dinner be made
into a salad instead 'of the everlasting
hash, and gives the following direc
tions: Cut beef, potatoes, beets and
turnips in .cubes, keeping each sep
arate. Cut the cold cabbage fine.
Place on a platter a bottomless
wooden mold or pasteboard box with
compartments, such as eggs come in,
and fill each compartment with a
different vegetable and one. cr more
with meat. When all are arrange'd set
in the icebox until cold, then pull up
the frame in which the different
things are molded, leaving them aU
in shape. Serve with French dress
ing, mayonnaise or a boiled dressing,
as preferred. If you have no regu
lar egg compartment box,- take any
pasteboard box and with strips cf
pasteboard mark into triangles or
squares.
FOUR YEARS OF AGONY.
Whole Foot Nothing: Kut Proud' FtesU

"In the year 1899 the side of my right
foot was cut off from the little toe down
to the heel, 'and the physician who had
charge of une was trying to sew up the
side of my foot, but with, no- success. At
last my whole foot and way up above my

tried different physicians and all kinds of

crutches. In two weeks afterwards 1 saw
a change in my limb. Then I began using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment often during
the day, and kept it up for seven months,
when my limb was healed up just the
same as if I never had trouble. It is
eight months now since I stopped using
Cuticura Remedies, the best on God's
earth. I aui working at the present day,
