New YORK, Nov. 22.-The only clear fact in
the Stewart grave robbery today Is that the DO
lice are still working on the case.
Judge Hilton was in consultation with the
chief Of police and Inspector Murray for two
hours this afternoon. The officers remarked
after the Judge left that there were no new dis
closures to make. Two arrests were made
Thursday night which it is thought NAV have
a bearing on the Stewart case.

An ObtHSe Man.

She was stylish young lady about is
years old, and to accommodate q friend
she took the baby out for an airing. She
was wheeling it UP and down the walk,
when an oldish man, very deaf, came by.
and inquired for certain person supposed
to live on that street. She nearly yelled
her head off trying to answer him. and he
looked around, caught sight OF the baby,
and said:
Mice child, that. l suppose you feel
proud of him?''

Despairing of making him understand
by word OF mouth, she pointed to the
baby, at herself, and then shook her
head.
''Yes-yes, I see t'other twin in the
house. Their father is fond of them, of
coursc?''
She turned the cab and hurried the other
way. but he followed, and asked:
''Do they kick around much nights?'
IL tell you 'taint mine!" she shouted,
looking very red in the face.

She made about twenty gestures in half
a minute, and he helped the cab through
the gate, and said:
'.Our children were all twins, and I'll
send my wife down to give you some ad-
vice. You see"
But she picked up a flower-pot and flung
it at him. He jumped back and lodged it.
and as she entered the house, he called
out:
IL hope insanity won't break out on the

A correspondent, 'W.," whose state
ment is entitled to full credence, sends us
the following account Of remarkable cpl
sode at Niagara years ago:
About the years 1926 to 1880 there lived
on the s.Saunder's Settlement Road" about
four miles from the Falls, a family by the
name of Straw, who had captured, in the
then dense forest of the neighborhOOd, a
voung fawn, which was domesticated, and
became so much attached to its captOrs
that il would follow the children into the
house play with them like dog. In time
II became SO much attached to the team
andits driver that it would follow wherever
they went. =,
One day grist was taken to the mill at
the Falls to be ground, and the deer, as
usual. followed to keep company. AS the
mill was approached, hound gave the
deer chase, which for eafety leaped the
raoeway, and sought an asylum below the
mill. but was instantly swept by the rush.
;no waters down and over the American
Fails. Soon it was discovered below by
some persons who had watched the cruel
chase and was seen to swim ashore at the
Ferry Landing. and it actually climbed
out npon the rocks, where from some in
;urv II had received from the fah. or from
fright, it soon perished.
The narrator, who at that time lived :
near neighbOr to tbs Straws, although ne
vas not witness to the fatal plunge, Of
ten had seen the fawn, and recollccts, as
doubtless many Of the old settlers do, the
circumstances, which at the dine was con-
sidered great episode In pioneer life ct

garding their future intentions. They all
contemplate raising large crops of oats,
with the intention of selling to the gov
ernmrnt at good prices. They anticipate
a prosperous future. Between Forts Gus
ter and Keogh there are very fine agricul-
tural and grazing lands. Here he passed
over some natural hay-fields. From Keogh
down tbe Yellowstone the country is not
SO rich in the immediate vicinity of the
river, but there are spots w,ll timbered.
and coal crops out in many places, with in
dications of very thick veins.
Gen. Tompkins expressed himself as
highly pleased with the country through
which he passed, and strongly advocates
the extension and completion ofthe North
ern Pacific road. Not only will the carry
ing cut of this project greatly facilitate the
transportation Of government stores to
large number of military posts in Montana
and the Yellowstone country but it will
materially diminish the cost of transpOrta-
tion. For instance, it costs at present to
move one hun lred pounds of freight from
D'S'AtiNM ~ AACOSh. % Sit' OC-IUO CcliS.
This is under an exceedingly low contract
Last year the cost of transportation was
double that amount. The officers of the
Union Pacific have guaranteed to deliver
the government stores at all seasons of the
same distance over their road for sc cents
per one hundred pounds. Like reductions
to other points would be the result. The
construction of this road would, in Gen.
Tompkins' opinion, also have great ten
dency to settle the Indian question, as In
dians proverbially recede from civilization.
The above description of the Yellow
stone co6ntry fully agrees with the reports
made by Coils, J. W. Forsyth and F. d.
Grant. who made an examination OF that
part of the country by order of Lieut..
Gen. Sheridan in 1875.

One of the best things in the world to
be is boy.
Boys have always been SO plenty that
they are not half appreciated.
A boy is willing to do any amount OF
work that is half play.
The feeling of boy toward Inmpkin-
pie has never been properly considered.
A boy furnishes half the entertainment,
and takes two-thirds of the sc0lding, Of
the family circle.
1t is impossible to say ut what age boy
becomes conscious thath trouser legs are
too short, and is anxious about the part of
his hair.
In fact, a hoy is hard subject to get >
moral from.

boy sound whipping.
When he got through the boy said,

The boy took the money, but we don't
know whether he told his mother about

in the family. we don't believe the lady
knows anything about it.

The Value OF Ayn... oniN.


Mrs. Henry Ware 1-gecher. in 'h' Chris
t;an Union, says: There are very many
articles with which every housekeeper is
familiar that can be made helpful in many
wavs. and some that can Tighten labor
wonderfully. if their modest eXceliences
were only better understood; and none

greet success and entire safety, as am
monia. Let us enuinerate some OF the
wavs in which. if properly applied, IL can
make many kinds of labor easy, over which
now we groan and are troubled.
A quart of concentrated spirits OF am

druggists for seventy-tive cents. THIS Is
the strongest form-so very powerfu' that

one Quart of alcohol with one quart OF
soft water; shake well together, and then

To remove grease spots. Put half

spot is of long standing, it may require
several applications. In woolen or cotton

applied. and also in black silk, though not

all the vindictiveness of sleuth-hound Of

brisiles rest on any hard substance while
wet. 1t is better to tie string around the
handle and hang up.
Silks.-A little ammonia in few spoon
fills of alcohol is excellent to sponge silk
dresses that have grown ''shiny, 'Or rusty,
as well as to take out spots. a silk-par
ticularly black - becomes almost like
new when so sponged.
For cleaning jewelry there is nothing
better than ammonia and water. If very
dull or dirty, rub little soap on a soft
brush, and brush them in this wise; rinse
in cold water; dry first in an old silk hand
kerchief, ard then rub with buck or cha
mois skin. Their freshness and brilliancy
when thus cleaned cannot he surpassed by
any compound used by jewelers..
For washing silver.-Put a half tea
spoonful into the suds in which the silver
is washed; having the water hot; wash
quickly, using small brush; rinse in hot
water, and dry with a clean linen towel /;
then rub very dry with chamois skin.
Washed in this manner silver becomes very
brilliant, and requires no polishing with
any OF the powders or whiting usually
employed, and the silver does not wear
out.
Glass.-Put half a teaspoonful into clear
water to wash tumblers or glass of any
kind rinse and dry well, and they will be
beautifully clear.
For washing windows, looking-glasses,
efc., a little ammonia in the water saves
much labor, aside from giving better pol
ish than anything else; and for general
house-cleaning it removes dirt, smoke al,
grease most effectually.
Spots on towels and hosiery will disappear
| with little trouble ii little ammonia is put
into enough water to soak the articles, and
they are left in an hour or two before
washing; and if 'upfnl is put into the

the night before washing. the ease with
which the articles can be washed, and thcil
great clearness and w.liteness, will be very

Yet each was to the other dead.

Her white face showed her misery.
