WASHINGTON, July 19.-The CON-
mittee on judiciary, investigating the
charges against Representative Hayes,
from Alabama, regarding the appoint
ment OF Guy r. Bsarislee, of New York,
as cadet at the military academy, say in
concluding their report that IL Hayes did
not know that the certificate was entire
ly false, he lie certainly censursble fer
signing it on evidence so barren and aus
picious; bat recommend that no further
action be taken.
RoBEsoN's IMPEACHMENT.
The situation in regard to the Inn
| peachment OF Secretary Robson is this !:
After full discussion with the Demo-
cratic members OF the judiciary commit
tee, Mr.. Oliver, chairman of the real
estate pool committee, has determined
to make to ttss house the same report
that win be made by the naval commit.
tee, to-wit: to refer the evidence to the
judiciary committee.
THE POSTAL STRAW. BIDS.
Judge George P. Fisher was before the
committee on pGstoffices and p0stroads
to day, and explained his connection
with the pre- seCutiOn of the straw bid
frauds, especially the failure to convict
Contractor Kinds. Judge Fisher tssti-
fed that the postmsster-general had cut
off all chance and power OF the convic-
ton of Kinds, by granting Immunity to
all the really guilty parties il they would
testify against HinGs, about whose guilt
there was some doubt. Fisher said all
this was done before he had been called
into the case, and both he and Judge
Spence, assistant attorney general at the
postoffics department, told the posmss-
ter general it was very doubtful about
convicting Kinds, even before the in
dictment was found against him.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA RIOTS.
Governor ChamberI 'in, OF South Caro-
lima, arrived here to-day, and had con-
sultation with Secretary Cameron and
Attorney. General Taft regarding the re-
cent trouble at Hamburg. The governor
was fully informed as to what the views
of the general governments are upon
this affair, and they are substantially 20
the effect that the State of South Caro-
lima should execute its laws and bring
to prompt trial and punishment the par
ties who are guilty Of having melted the
riotous demonstrations and murder Ist
reported. The subject will without
doubt receive full consideration at the
next cabinet meeting, the impres.
sion being that the administration
intends to insist upon tie State laws
being executed in this particular case.
The conferences between Governor
Chamberlain and the cabinet officers
mentioned were very earnest, the Off
cials representing to the fullest extent
the views OF the President and cabinet
as to the absolute necessity OF prompt
action by the State authorities. Coy
ernor Chamberlain came to Washington
by invitation Of the secretary of war,
and also at the suggestion of congress
sionaA friends. He does not ask for mil
itary assistance to aid the State in brig
ing the offenders to justice.

DIR, ScHENCK's PULMoNIC SYRUP, SEA WEEr
Tonic, AND MANDRAKE PILLs.-These medicines
have undoubtedly performed more cures of Con.
sumption than any other remedy known to the
American public, They are compounded Of vege.
table ingredients, and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution. Other rem
edies advertised as cures for Consumption probably
contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerousdrue
in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptivc
patients, 1t must do great injury for Its tendency
is to contine the morbid matter in the system,
which, Of course, must make a cure impossible.
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted not TO con-
tain a particle of opium, 1t is composed of power
full but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver,
stomach, and blood, and thus correct all morbid
secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con
sumption can he cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way, ii is
obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmon--
AIRY Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable
medicine is accompanied by full directions. DIR.

ner Sixth and Arch Streets, PHILADELPHIA, every

How to 500 Up" Curtains.

Let mt give the inexperienced a way Of
doing up their own curtains by which
the object can be nicely accomplished at
home, and with no convcniences for dry
ing except IL vacant room, a pair of sheets
and plenty of pins,
First, shake the dust well out of the
lace, then put in tcpid water in which a
little soda has been dissolved, and wash
at once, carefully, with the hands, in
several waters if necessary to make them
free from dust and color. Then blue the
rinsing water, and blue the boiled starch
quite deeply, as the lace looks less blue
when hung against the light. Then,
having pinned down the sheets in a va
cant, airy room, pin on the curtain very
closely, stretched to exactly the size they
were before being wet. In Il few hours
they will be dry and ready to put up
again at the windows. The whole process
of washing and p%inning down should oc.
cupy as little time as possible, as lace will
shrink more than any other cotton goods
when long wet. Above all, it should not
be allowed to "soak" from the mistaken
idea that it washes more easily. Nor
should it ever be ironed, as it looks quite
fresh and new if properly dried. After
having the supervision of the washing
and drying Of sevcnty-ive pairs of lace
curtains for several years we conceived Il
way by which could be avoided the tedi-
u labor of pinning the lace to floor.
We ordered from the carpenter a set of
frames, very like the old fashioned %"qullt-
ing frames" thicklv studded along the
inside with the smallest size of ~galvanized
tenter hooks in which to fasten the lace,
and with holes and wooden pins to vary
the size to suit the different sizes of cur
tains. AS we said before, the curtains
should always be measured before being
wet and stretched in the frames to that
size to prevent shrinking. 1t takes but a
few moments to fasten the curtains to the
hooks, and five or six can be put in, one
above another, and all dried at once.
The frames can rest on four chairs. The
cost of them was four dOllars-thc price
of having one good pair lone away from
homeland made very tender, and even
useless after a year or two. They have
proved Il great saving of labor and time,
a thorough success and we find them a
most satisfactory aid in our system ofdo-
nestle economy.

Caucasian philanthropists, they were
lovingly attended to as brethren of a

senator's entertained Of being compelled
to place their wives and daughters
on an equality with Madame Pinchback.
The Washington Republican now in

New York Commercial Advertiser says
of him; "Such leaders as this man
should be rcpudiated by the colored pee.

give the colored radicals plainly to I'M
derstand that, as voting machines to
keep the republican whites in power,
they are acceptable. The moment they
aspire to official position they are repu-

pledges made by the republican party to
