Much Is Expected of the Conference to Be Held In New Bcdford. NEW BEDFORD, Mass, Aug. 24.—The principal feature of interest in the strike situation today is the conference to be held on the call of Mayor Brownell. The labor secretaries have voted .to attend the con- ference, but the manufacturers are non- commlttal, most of them declining to an- swer anyquestions on the matter. Messrs. Barry and Warner of the state board of arbitration arrived in the city today. To a reporter they said that their visit was not really an official one. They had come simply to look over the ground and will decide later on a course of action. The gentlemen held a conference with the oili- cials of the spinners? union.

' At the Probable Coat of Her Life She Bes- , cued Her Little Ones. HUNTINGTON, . N. Y., Aug. 24.—-Mrs. William Kelsey of this village was hor- ribly burned while trying to save her children, who were in danger of being burned by the explosion of .a kerosene lamp. Mrs. Kelsey was down stairs in her kitchen attending to some household du- ties when she heard her children scream up stairs. She quickly ran up and found that a kerosene lamp had exploded, and that her two children were surrounded by flames. . Mrs. Kelsey dashed through the blazing oil and seized the children, who were in bed. The exploding lamp had scattered the burning oil arSund the room, and when she reached the children the whole room was blazing. Nevertheless Mrs. Kelsey sprang to the bed where the children were crying and picked them up. The flames, which were all about her, set fire to her dress. She ran down stairs with the children in her arms and with her clothing burning. This gave the flames on her clothing some air, and soon she was totally wrapped in flames. The brave mother put the fire out on the clothes of her children. and the flames on her own garments, which were bum- ing her flesh. made her run out into the yard screaming with pain. Her cries were heard by some of her neighbors, who ran with blankets and soon had her wrapped in them, smothering the flames. Her clothing was cut from her, and she pre- sented a horrible sight. Flesh peeled from her body, and there was the smell of the burning flesh. ' Drs. Rodman, Willis and Lindsay were quickly summoned to attend the woman, and they did everything in their power to case her pain. The doctors, however, have but little hope of her recovery. She was taken back to the house, and her body is black and charred from the fire. The two children were more frightened than burned. The lamp was standing on a bureau in the room where the children were in bed. Neighbors rang the fire alarm, and the volunteer firemen put the flames out in the Kelsey house before much damage was done. A Good Thing For Holyoke. .

LONDON, Aug. 24.—A dispatch from Shanghai, today says that the Japanese minister to Korea has been killed by his own countrymen. The Central News has advices from Shanghai to the effect that the Japanese government has declared rice tobe not in- cluded among articles contraband of war. The attempt of the Chinese government to float a loan of 1,000,000 tools, to be guaranteed by Chinese merchants, has proved a flat failure. ' The American consul at Shanghai has ordered the Japanese living in that city to discard the Chinese costumes, and advises a majority of them to return to their na- tive country. A news agency of this city has received information from Honolulu to the effect that trouble has arisen between the Chi- nose. and Japanese laborers employed in Hawaii and that several fights have oc- curred.

Mr. George Gould Asks Professor Bilcs of Glasgow to Examine Err. SOUTHAMPTON, Aug. 2i.—Mr. George Gould has requested Mr. J. Harvard Biles, professor of naval architecture at the Uni- Versity of Glasgow, to make a. special sur- vey of the Vigilant for the purpose of proving the falsity of the rumors circulat- ed at Cowes regarding the recent accident to that yacht’s cen terboard.

The board is leveling, and its connect- ing chain and shackles are repairing. The work will probably occupy five days. Tug Almost Run Down by the Oregon.

It is Easy to Make and the-Children will Enjoy It Immensely. things, and even the smallest tots reach out for the colored pictures with evident delight. A room, therefore, the walls of which are covered with these pretty things is sure to appeal to all their hearts. The various art magazines, the Sunday papers and some few of the finest adver- tisement cards will supply the material. All that you need to make a picture room out of the ordinary nursery is a little energy and a. generous supply of that gumption attributed to all live Yankees. The pictures should first be sorted, and some kind of order arranged. Then when you have a sufficient number and have planned how to place them so as to get the best results, you will be ready to be- gin the practical work. Each picture should be. set within a frame, so to speak, or each should be sur- rounded by a moulding tacked about the edge. The best for-the purpose is the nar- row, half-inCh width painted in a, flat tone, such as paper hanu‘ers use about the panels of a room. If tint-I. is more costly than seems wise, in view of the amount required, the ordinary gilt sort will an- swer; the main essential is to get some- thing unobtrusive and as plain as pos- sible. The pictures once grouped and the moulding selected, the next step is to make smooth, flour paste, and to cover the entire wall with the gay, pretty scenes; then when they are dry and firm, to fit the moulding neatly about each one and to tack the strips in place with the long, slender brads made for the purpose. The one difficulty is to make the joints of the moulding neat and exact. All the rest is simple, and only alittle judgment is required to make a. collection which will be to the children a. perpetual de- light. One woman of unusually fertile re- sources has hit upon a plan for dispensing with the wood moulding, and for using ordinary manila rope in its place. Her success has been great, and her room is in some ways better than the ordinary sort, so if the moulding seems a. troublesome fact, there is a way of evading that part of the work. In this especial ' room the pictures are selected with unusual care, and are grouped according to size. The rope is carried in straight lines, both horizontal and vertical, between the edges, and is tacked fast at each place of meeting with an ornamental nail. The effect is really an excellent one, and the rope makes quite a sufficient frame in addition to having reduced both the labor and the cost. 3 POINTS WORTH KNOWING.. A Dozen Things of Real Value to Thought- ful Housewives. Salt dissolved in alcohol will take out grease sp'ots. A very fine steel pen is the best for mark- ing with indelible ink. Court plaster should never be applied to a bruised wound. Moths dislike newspaper as much'as the prepared tar paper. ’ Banana peel will clean tan shoes as well as the regular dressing. Wood ashes very finely sifted are good for scouring knives and tinware. All rugs. when shaken, should be handled by the middle and not by the ends. When ironing, a. woman should sit instead of stand, and work in a cool room. Cauliflower used for pickles should be prepared by first boiling the vegeta- bles. ‘ A teaspoonful of powdered borax added to cold starch will tend to give the linen extra stiffness. Rain water and white castile soap in luke—warm suds is the best mixture in which to wash embroidcries. llIaking Lace in Italy. A returned traveller from Italy says: While away I paid a. visit to a lace school where about 350 Italian girls, all wearing the national costume, were industriously at work making the finest kinds of lace. These girls, whose ages range from 10 to 18 years, sat in great, barely furnished, well- lighted rooms, on low chairs, holding their lace frames on their knees. They wore a. short, bright-colored pctticoat, a green, red or orange fichu across the chest, silver rings in their ears and cads or coral necklaces around their necks. They draw their needles slowly and gracefully back and forth, and gravely, except when. some girlish joke raisesa storm of smothered laughter. The work is all carefully superintended by the teachers. They sometimes fill orders for veils worth over $1,000. ' \Vhile there I was shown a piece of lace drapery said to be worth $1,800, seven months having been spent in making the foundation alone. __.___.__,._.. Economy of Youth, Men wear better than women because they sleep better—not longer, perhaps, but generally better. A speculator may lose a thousand dollars during the day, but he goes home, takes a cold bath, eats a good dinner, goes to bed and sleeps soundly. If a business woman loses a point, a. good boarder or a tenant, or if the modiste spoils a lady’s dress, the an- noyance will keep her awake half the night. Sleep, nature’s sweet restorer, is the most potent of medicines, and it is to their intelligent use of it that so many men manage to fight hard and still Show young faces, good physiques and fine health. Care 'is a malicious bedfellow and lines in more wrinkles and deeper furrows than the hand of time.

A San Francisco’s woman’s bit of preaching, here given, might be followed with profit by some: “The woman who wants to round out her attenuated an- atomy, fill up the hollows in her neck and face and grow magical dimples at her joints mustbe merry. \Vorry is wearing ' and aging.
