THE NEWS.
By WHITWORTH & WATHU8.
Subscription $1 per year.
~ Just as we go to press we
received a special phone from
Alva stating that the County
Commissioners refused to incor-
porate the Choctaw town of Au.
gusta,
has about 2,200,000. a striking evidence
as to modern tendencies. The size of
motors haB Increased from two and a
half horse power In 1887, to four and
a half In 1900. All this work Is done
from lighting and power circuits fed
with current from central stations,
and does not Include isolated motor
plants, which it is said would add
many thousand horse-power to the
total.
The plant In the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, which of late has adopted elec-
tricity on a large scale, is described.
It appears that the plant replacing
steam in the carpenter's shops is giv-
ing the same power for about one-
third of the total consumption and is
saving In labor about $6.60 daily.
A large Canadian cement works to
have a capacity of 2,000 barrels a day
is to be operated by electric power.
While all such work may have
much to do with the high price of
copper, the fact comes out that alumi-
num, for electrical work is coming into
great vogue In this country. It is be-
ing used extensively for power trans-
mission circuits and electric tramway
•feeders, and a switchboard is in use
which is said to be the first to have
aluminum bus bars.
WATER It AO FOB TIIN IIKA1).
Did you ever hear of a water bag for
the head? Here is one, and the in-
ventor of it is a woman, Stella Rowe,
of Cincinnati, Ohio. The bag is shaped
like a hood, is tied under the chin of
the wearer and has an opening at the
FASHIONS rOK WOMKM.
Velvet gowns are very chic this
•eason, and are worn for all oocMlons.
For morning ™*r the styles are much
.apler tTian ror Uie afternoon—In
act, they copy closely after the cloth.
They are in the simple tailor styles
for street wear In the morning and
the elaborately trimmed and light col-
ored velvets for the afternoon. Black
velvet Is exceedingly popular, but the
different shades of brown are also
considered desirable, and gray in all
shades is still in demand. There are
also costumes made in a blue green,
a sapphire blue, and a dark hunter's
green, but one sees many more blac't
than anything else. These same nod-
els are used for velveteen, which is an
fashionable this year as velvet an Is
manufactured of most beautiful m
and texture, so that it is almost
possible to tell it from the velvel. A.-
a rule, velveteen and velvet gowns ; f
worn only in the street, but t'n . <• :•
some few models made up for t>;
house. These, however, are as a ml',
of velveteen. The velvet is for <!lr«
dress only and then, trimmei' with
point lace, as usual, or with some t m-
broidery done on the velvet in. If.
SOME FETCHING NOVKLTIK.S.
Next to velvets, satin-faced broad-
cloths rank in favor. Panne velvet,
stitched, is much liked as a trimming
for costumes of broadcloth. Whip-
cords, zibelines, camel's hair, worsted
burlaps, Venetian "cloth, mixed chevi-
ots and'serges are also used for street
gowns. Louisine and novelty silks are
top, into which water, hot or cold, is
poured. If you happen to have a head-
ache you will want ice water, but some-
thing else may be the trouble and hot
water will serve the purpose better.
It is an easy way of applying hot or
cold compresses to the head, and, the
bag being divided into compartments,
only one or two of them may be tilled,
If preferred.
SILK FROM 8PIDKIIS.
M. Cachet, a Fro. rii iavant, who has
been experimenting with the object of
finding spiders that would furnish silk
for fabrics, wit the expectation of
being able to discover a number of
species that would answr his purpose,
it is stated, has met wi.h di appoint-
ment. and that thus far the Madv^as-
car spider seems to be the only one
upon which any dependent; can bo
placed. Attempts to use lb. cocoons
of these he abandoned after :i year's
trial. At the factory in Paiis the silk
is taken directly from the spiders,
which are placed In separate boxes on
a Bhelf above the machine. The strands
are conducted carefully by hand to
the spindle, which twists them into a
thread. Sometimes as many as thirty-
six strands are required for one
thread. When the silk of a spider is
exhausted it is removed and specially
fed for a new supply. The operation
does not appear to affect their health.
GETTING RID OF MOSQUITOES.
It may be something of a consola-
tion to germ-seeking Americans to
know that theirs is not the only mos-
quito-bitten country on the face of
thn it'obe.
The Japanese, says the New York
Herald, is as subject to stinging retorts
from these pests as we are, and,
though they long ago adopted the mos-
quito netting, no well-regulated Jap
ever thinks of crawling under it with-
out his mosquito lamp, trimmed and
burning.
The lamp, which is usually of bur-
nished metal, looks at first sight like
a small bicycle lamp, except that it
has a small haudle. and the "bull's
eye" and the "chimney" are open to
the air.
When the little wick is afire, the Jap
cautiously appr.;.his singing prey,
and presto! he disappears like magic.
He has been drawn into the lamp with
the draught created by the heat and
cremated.
PolHu Dotted Velveteen SHirt
"Waist, "WHite Stitching.
From John Wanamaker, Broadway, N. Y.
taking the place of foulards for the fall
season. The up-to-date girl has now
replaced her summer shirt waists with
one or two of velveteen. A pretty
model is of black velveteen with em-
broidered polka dots in white. The
edge of the diagonal flap down the
front is stitched with white Corticelli
stitching silk, which is put up on
quarter ounce spools and comes in
all colors to match the latest dress
goods. The high stock is of velveteen
with turn over collar and narrow tie
of black taffeta stitched in white.
LACE LORE.
Lace proper only dates back to the
sixteenth century, and may be divided
into two classes, needlepoint, and
that which is produced by interweav-
ing threads with bobbins on a pillow.
Needle point represents the transi-
tion phase between embroidery on fine
linen and the making of lace as a
separate and valuable fabric, in which
both the ornament and the ground-
work are produced by the worker.
The great impetus to lace-making
in France, and the Low Countries was
given by Colbert, the famous minister
of Louis Quartorze, who realized that
the prosperity of the country depend-
ed very much on the small paying in-
dustries that the lower and middle
classes can produce In their own
homes.
The Revolution checked the lace-
making trade, but Napoleon, with his
empresses Josephine and Marie Louise,
sought to revive it.
Chantilly lace, if genuine, never
dates back further than the seven-
teenth century, and black silk chan-
tilly is all of the eighteenth, and later.
Among tlie best known laces in Eng-
land a.v iloniton. Northants, Medford
and Buckinghamshire varieties. Nee-
dlerun laces are occasionally made in
small quantities In several counties.
This season Irish lace is in the as-
cendancy. The chief Irish laces are
needlepoints of more or less beauty,
principally made in convents, at You-
ghal. New Ross, and Kinmare; and
after these Cairlckmacross and Lim-
eiick. and the modern crochet ami
tatting.
The revival of Irish lace dates fro::
the terrible Irish famine and f ver

THOUGHT HE WAR SAFE.
Frank's grandmother had some fruit
spread out in her yard to dry, and the
boy couldn't resist the temptation to
take som? of it. A neighbor saw him
and told his grandmother, who called
the young man up for a lecture.
"Why, nobody saw me take it," said
Frank.
"Nobody saw you?" said the old lady.
"Well, I suppose God saw me, but I
didn't think he'd tell you about it."

A Hetppry
New Year,
The beginning of another year is at band and it is a pleasure
for us to take advantage of this occasion to wish for our friends^ a
very happy New Year.
Jne of the pleasantest features of every successful merchants
business is his yearly opportunity of looking back over twelve
months hard work with the satisfaction of knowing that his custo-
mers have appreciated his efforts to serve them. He can look for-
ward to the ensuing year feeling well repaid by the confidence of
his patrons and by the assurance of their support as long as he con-
tinues to honestly serve their interests.
Our business policy is pre-eminently one that gives to our cus-
tomers interests the same importance as our own.
With no strings on you by which to solicit trade we necessarily
depend upon the good will of the people for our support. Our
methods stand first and always for good goods at lowest prices and
the large yolume of our business, conducted under the least possible
expense,testifies to the fact that we can and do undersell our com-
petitors throughout our eutire line.. Those who deal with us save
money and we point with pride to +he fact that we have no accounts
therefore you have no bills to pay but your own when buying of us,
showing that right treatment is always appreciated.
Among our New Year resolutions the first shall be to work
harder than ever in the interest of our customers, and in return we
ask only a continuance of the same cordial support that we have
received so generously in the past. We extend to all the compli-
ments of the season, and our best wishes for a prosperous New Year
