TOO IMBRS
Present Federal force Can't i
Reach General Navarro. !
RE-ENFORCEMENTS ON WAY.
i
With Added Strength and Field Guns
Government Men Probably Will De
Able to Drive Insurrectos Back
to the Mountains.
El Paso, Tex., Doc. 22. Cnlnicr sur
vey of the situation following tlio re
pulse of the Mexican troops In Mnl
I'aso, wet of Chihuahua, shows that
the battle was a greater victory for
the Insurgents than believed, even aft
er forty-two wounded had been
brought Into Chihuahua and the fed
erals had admitted the death of twenty-one.
It now develops that about
thirty wounded were not brought on
the train to Chihuahua, but are held
in camp at Bustlllos, to which point
the federals were forced to retreat
after the ambuscade.
It also develops that when the fed
erals retreated they left many of their
wounded and dead on the battlefield
and lhat It was only after the rebels
had left that the wounded and dead
were picked up.
The victory of the rebels has given
great Impetus to their cause, and
American who expressed confidence
In the ability of Mexico to end the re
bellion In a few days now shako their
heads doubtfully.
The railroad is out of business, and
the Insurrectos hold the mountain
passes. General Navarro still Is at
Pedernalcs without food and supplies,
and his condition appears serious. The
federals have one advantage, however
they have field guns, which they can
bring up from the rear, and by sheer
force of numbers after many more re
enforcements are moved Into the state
from the City of Mexico they may be
able to beat hack the rebels. This
will only run them farther Into the
mountains. The Infested country is
almost Impenetrable.
Pasquale Orozoco, the chief of arms
of the insurgents, has Issued a procla
mation calling on all patriots to rise
and join the rebels. He declares that
they have not yet lost a battle and
that they have demonstrated that It Is
possible to cope with the Mexican
nrmy.
Two train loads of troops carrying
field pieces and ample ammunition en
route from the City of Mexico to Chi
huahua will reach Chihuahua some
time today. They will be sent over
land to relieve General Navnrro. The
troops will act as a convoy for sup
plies for the army now bottled up and
surrounded by the rebels.
It Is feared that the Americans at
Temoscha and Madera, of whom there
are many, will soon be suffering for
want of provisions, as the trains have
been stopped since a week ago.
ARRESTS CAUSE SUICIDE.
Man Wrote He Was Tired of Being
Locked Up So Often.
Buffalo, Dec. 22. "I am committing
suicide because I am tired of life and
of trying to avoid arrest by the police.
I am disheartened. I have never harm
ed any person except myself, but the
police would not let me alone."
So wrote. Horace Iteed, thirty years
old, to County Probation Officer Colley
Just before taking cyanide of potas
sium In a police station cell. The man
was well known among the druggists
of a certain section of the city because
of his fondness for cocaine. He had
been on probation tor about a year and
had euml himself of the cocaine habit.
Two detectives had repeatedly ar
rested him for vagrancy, although he
was working and supporting himself.

who heroically risked their lives In
lighting the llnmes. Nine large build
ings were destroyed or partly wrecked.

The Laugh Cure and the Sport;,
Amusement Fund.
FONDNESS FOR DRESS UPHELD
A Clergyman Who Has the Temerity
to Advise Men to Marry Girls Whos?
Gowns Are Modeled After the Latest
Fashions Claude Lorraine Mirrors.
Dear Elsa Such n funny thing hap
pened whllo I wns marketing tlih
morning. A very attractive looking
fish shop has recently located around
tho corner from us, which I patronized
for tho first time todny. Tho tnnn who
waited on me wns a foreigner of some
unknown nationality, nnd when I
nsked lor n quart of oysters he was
plnlnly puzzled, but when he picked
up a lnrge paper bag the tables were
turned, nnd It was I who wns the most
puzzled. We looked nt one another
for n moment, and then 1 gently said.
"It was oysters I asked for."
"Yes, I know," ho stammered, "hut
nre you sure they nre sold by the
quart V"
He screwed up his face and then
very uncertainly picked up a wooden
quart measure such as those used for
measuring apples and things and threw
in n couple of oysters In their shells
It suddenly dawned on me that ho was
going to give me n dry quart of oys-
tiiie OLonifiED nBAN par.
ters In the shells, and just as he was
about to place them In the stout pa
per bag I interrupted tho proceedings
by saying, "Never mind," nnd fled
precipitously thnt I might have a
chance to laugh without offending the
poor man.
The Laugh Cure.
This story Is one I will tell as my
contribution to the half hour laugh
cure which we have instituted ns a
regular thing each evening after din
ner. It is fine for the digestion and an
all round good thing. We nil take a
turn at producing for the occasion
something which will create Inughter.
To make tho effort worth while nnd to
Introduce a sporty element Into the
game we have an amusement fund,
and the one voted to give the most
amusing story has the privilege of se
lecting the entertainment for which
the amusement fund shall next be ex
pended. The story can be either read
or told, or n series of funny pictures
mny furnish the fun, or some one may
make a grotesque face and set us all
Into a "lit of giggles." Perhaps this
sounds very silly, but In reality it Is
part of the plan to relax entirely from
dignity nnd restraint.
About n glowing fire the trio, as
Dick calls Dorothy, Margaret and me.
were sitting drinking tea the other
afternoon and eating tho most delicious
new tea dainty, a concoction of Mar
garet's. Before getting down to the
gist of the story let mo say that this
same dainty was nothing more than n
small round, rather thick biscuit plen
tlfully sprinkled with cream cheese, In
the center of which alluringly reposed
a maraschino cherry, but It was line.
Suddenly one of us made a remark
about a certain pretty woman being
so "fond of dress."
"And why shouldn't she bo?" spoke
up Dorothy. "It surely is one of the
speclnl nnd important duties of a worn
nn to be fond of dress nnd to exercise
all her faculties to make that fondness
obvious."
And I, supporting the cause, madt
my little speech to the effect that a
New York clergyman arrived In a tnlk
from the pulpit recently at a sensible
conclusion nbout womnu's dress. Hi
hud tho courage of his conviction and
denounced the dowd, nnd he had the
temerity to advise men to choose as
wives those girls whoso gowns nre
modeled after the latest fashion nnd
lints of the newest shapes. Just think
of such Indorsement for the freak hats
of tho season.
Now, according to my mind, this Is
common sense. It helps refute the old
theory that If a woman takes an in
terest In dress she Is n frivolous, brain
less Idiot. As n matter of fact, a new
hat, a gown In which she feels sh.'
looks well, has a perfect tonic effect on
n woman nnd no less on the pooph-
with whom she comes In contnet. Take
what Is called a "fashion plate" Into
nn assemblage of badly gowned worn
en nnd wntch the effect. They inns
disapprove, but they will feel their In
feriorlty. They may be younger In
years, but they Instantly feel older In
spirit. They realize that they havi
missed something that can only be
imparted by the knowledge that one Is
good to look upon, and, though a worn
an mny be plain nnd past her flr-it
youth, she may feel assured that sh
V) this If her clothes aro up to date.
The clergyman goes tho length or
pointing out that tho woman who likes
to bo In tho "latest fashion" Is not
likely to bo a dull housewife or a so
clal falluro, while her opposite Is like
ly to have u dreary mind nnd innnnwr
and bo narrow In her vlows.
Well, wo broke up the lea fight by
concluding thnt wo didn't want to bi
slavish Imitations of oach other stir
torlally, but unless wo kept up wit!
, '
tho dress procession wo would bo off
Immensely.
Claude Lorraine Mirror.
I have had n bcnutlful tlmo lntcly
poking about among the nntlquo shops
nnd lmve picked up n charming Claude
Lorraine mirror. Theso glasses, you
know, nro so named from the supposed
likeness to the pictures of the famous
painter. A Claude mirror Is a blnck
cned convex glass which shows the
fffect of a scene reproduced In a some
what exaggerated' perspective. Lor
raine was n painter of landscapes Just
ly celebrated for his renderings of
light effects, of sunlight nnd shadow.
This kind of mirror Is therefore call
ed a Clnude glass nnd Is diligently
Bought after nowndnys.
In my Journoylngs I also picked up
somo pottery Jnrs that resemble speci
mens of Pueblo works of art, and ns
I learned that they were Intended for
benn pots, n sort of glorified variety as
it were, I nui going to present two of
them to ns mnny Boston friends for
Christmas gifts,
Don't expect to hear from me until
nfter the holidays, for I'll be Just rush
ed to death up to the last moment.
Yours ns over, MABEL.
Here's a Clever Apron.
Ono may always learn something
new of the thrifty housekeeper. The
latest orlglnnllty along this lino Is tho
kitchen npron coutrlved from the tall
of a shirt. A clover little woman who
likes to put every penny she can save
from necessaries Into pretty clothes
nnd uttrnctlve furnishings for her
home gets all her around the house
aprons ns well as pinafores for the
children from her husband's outworn
shirts. The collur nnd bosom of a
man's shirt wenr out long before the
lower portion, and the back breadth,
hcmtnftj ns It Is already, around part
of the sides and the bottom makes a
very good apron. Tho top comes Just
nbove the bust line, and from there
straps made from the shirt sleeves
pass over tho shoulder and button
back of the neck. The sides nre round
ed out to fit smoothly under the nrm,
nnd short straps attached at the waist
lino button in tho back. Such nn
npron may bo mndo In half nn hour,
buttonholes and all.
How to Curl Feathers.
Before curling feathers that have
been luld nway they should bo hung
In the sun nnd air for hours. The next
step is to stroke the fronds tho wrong
way that is, from the tip to tho quill.
This will make the feather fluffy.
To curl take tho plume in the left
hand and hold It over steam. Begin
at the tip and stroke with a blunt
knife, taking about half a dozen
fronds at n time. The curl will form
underneath. When both sides of the
feather are done curl a few of the
upper fronds In an opposite direction
that Is, so that tho curl will fall, over
the quill.
Something New In Furs.
If you have any tall trimmings on
your furs cut them off, for they offend
Mme. la Mode exceedingly this win
ter, and she'll have nothing whatever
to do with them. In their place should
bo substituted handsome silk tassels,
long and of goodly proportions. In

fact, all kinds of passementerie orna-
meats on furs are quite the latest
trimmings.
The smnrt set of Persian paw seen
In tho cut is so adorned, nnd tho orna
meats add much beauty to the graceful
Bcarf. The cake mold hat Is of the
