A Suggestion.

u v. July o. lsIy
To The Editor ofthe Republican,:
DEAR SIN; In honoring the living heroes
Of the Republic, to whom we owe debt Of
uudiminishable gratitude, let us not be un-
mindful Of those who are sleeping beneath
their battered shields In their honored graves.
Among the latter the name of Macomb stands
high upon the scroll Of fame, and Is en-
balmcd In the warmcst affections Of his
countrymcn. As memorial of gratitude
for eminent services and In view Of all the
prophecies OF the case, 1t Is proposed, or
rather suggested, that the new square In the
First ward, now being inclosed and bcauti-
fed under the magic hand OF Gen. Michler,
Commissioner Of Public Buildings, should
bear the name Of the Macomb Square. Ir.
respective Of other services, In all the grada-
tons from cadet to general-ln-chief Of the
United States army, the achievement at
Plattsburg, in the war Of 1912, Ia sufficient
to Justify and secure this distinction. The
gnllantry displayed on that occasion added
a brilliant page 10 the military history of the
| Republic. The victory at Plattsburg, on the
18th of ScWcnybcr, 1914, was a great and
glorious victory. The forces under the com.
| mand Of Gen. Macomb consisted OF a hand.
full OF regulars, about / 800 strong, and many
| OF them lnyalids, LETT there by Gen. lizard,
who had marched away with the mass OF
the American army some days before, and
about 5000 Vermont and New York militia,
called out on the spur OF the occasion. With
this greatly Inferior force the British troops,
1900 strong, veterans of Gallo fame, under
Sir George Provost, were beaten and driven
back With signal defeat and great loss to the
daring and insulting invaders. Gen. Scott,
the hero Of Lundy's Lane, in the same war,
has already been honored, and justly hon
ored, by having his illustrlous name attached
to one Of the public squares Of the metrop-
oils; let his immediate predecessor, as gen
eral-in-chief Of the United States army, en-
Joy similar distinction. And to this be.
lieve all the defenders Of the Republic, with
true soldierly generosity, will say amen.
BY all means, Gen. Michler, let the new
square in the First ward be known hereafter
as the Macomb Square.
Hoping that some ADLER and more efIec.
tive pen may be enlisted In this matter,
remain, very respectfully, your obcdient ser
| want, SEpTIMUs TUsTIN,
Formerly aud for several years Chaplain
| of the United States Senate.

INTERESTING TO PETROLEUM DEALERS
French sayant, Prof. Dcvillc, has lately
submitted to the Academy of Sciences In
Paris an essay on the cause Of petroleum
explosions aud consequent CONGREGATIONS.
lie finds the cause, not In the greater in
aammability of the oil, but in It's great cx-
pansion Of volume under the Influence of n
higher temperature. Barrels filled with the
oil In the winter season either burst or crack
that the oil may flow out as soon us the
warm weather sets In. The oil thus freed
evaporates highly inaammable gas, which
takes fire at the touch OF the smallest spark
lie therefore advises that oil should be
shipped or stored In casks but partially filed
giving II room to expand in the higher tenn
pcraturc of the warmer seasons.

CHINESE LABoRERs FOR THE SOUTHERN
STATEs.-A contract has been made In this
city for the supply Of 90, 900 Chinese laborers,
to be employed as plantation hands In the
State of Tennessee. The very faithful and
Intelligent manner In which tho Chinese
laborcrs performed their work In construct
ing the Central Pacific railroad has attracted
attention to this unsurpassed class of rough
laborers. 1t Is understood that the passage
Of these laborers will be paid by their EN-
month. Another force Of $4,000 Is being
contracted for to proceed to the State OF
Mississippi Pretty soon, II this demand
goes on, California will be cleared of all the
Chinese laborcrs.-!Sdn Francisco Chronicle.

GREASE on CARPETs.-There Is nothing
that annoys tidy housekceper SO much as
to have her carpet spotted with lamp oil or
grease, and we therefore make known, for
their benefit, the following receipt for ex-
tracing oil or grease spots from carpets and
clothes; Cover the grease spots with whiting
and let 1t remain until it becomes saturated
with the greasei then serape II OIL and cover
it with another coat OF whiting, and II THIS
does not remove the grease repeat the appli.
cation. Three coats Of whiting will, In most
cases, remove the grease, when II should be
brushed oil with Il clothes brush. 30 says
one who pretends TO know.
