MR. BLAINE SPEAK s
Eahs Explanation OF the SoN&Hl A1ner5~
cana Policy OF Garfield.

| CHICAGO, Sept, l3.-An article will be
published here tomorrow from the pen OF
Hon. JAS. G. Blaine entitled 'tThe South
American Policy Of the Garfield Admins
tration.' Following are the salient por-
tions: The foreign policy Of President
Garfield 5 administration had two principal
objects in view, the first being to bring
about peace and prevent further wars in
North and South America, the second to
cultivate such friendly commercial rela-
tions with all American countries as would
lead to a large increase in the export trade
Of the United States, by supplying the
fabrics in which we are abundantly able to
compete with the manufacturing nations
Of Europe. 70 attain the second object
the first must be accomplished. IT would
be idle to attempt development and en-
largement Of our trade with the countries
Of North and South America If that trade
were liable At any unforeseen moment to be
violently interrupted by such wars as that
which for three years has engrossed and
almost engulfed Chill, Peru aid Bolivia
as that which was barely avoided by the
friendly offices of the United States be-
tween Chill aud the Argentine Republic; );
as that which has been postponed by the
same good offices, but not decidedly
abandoned, between Mexico and Gl1ate-
mala; as that which is threatened between
Brazil and Uruguay; as that which is even
now forshadoWed between Brazil and the
Argentine states.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. II. 3.--ThG Rich
mond Banking and Insurance Company
this morning posted at the counter the
following notice
1.-The president and board Of directors
are compelled to suspend business for the
present Trustees will be appointed and
it is believed that depositos will receive
dollar for dollar.
JouN B. DAVIS, President" :"
The bank officers state that tlp cause Of
suspension is due to large depositors re-
Gently Withdrawing funds, which action
so materially contracted and embarrassed
| their business that they were forced to The
step taken. The intimate relations be
tween this bank and the Planters National
I.banks Davis being president of both, has
created al Uneasy feeling among tiepositors
III the latter, causing small tlepositors to
; withdraw their funds. Business men hay
ing large deposits are rallying to its aid.
The directors, Of the Planters National
/ bank were III session all last night examir-
ing its condition. At 8 O'Clock this morn
ing Chas. E. Whitlock and James B. Hair,
the two wealthiest men in The city, were
elected directors. Davis then resigned the
presidency and Chas. +. Whitlock was
elected president.
No statement Of the condition of affairs
Of the banking and insurance company
could be obtained today. The amount Of
deposits is stated at about 5000, 1000, which
includes 100000 belonging to the state Of
Virginia, the bank being the state depos-
tory. The amount is secured bya bond
with good sureties. The actual Liabilities
put down at GOT 1000. Charles Z. Whit
lock was appointed trustee fora banking
and insurance company, and it is probable
that in dag or two definite statement
will be made Whitlock believes the de-
positors will not lose anything, except
from delay. J. B. Davis, late president of
Of the suspended Bank and Of the Planters
National bank, is q brother Of the United
States senator, Henry 6. Davis Of West
Virginia. Much sympathy is expressed
for him. \ slight run on the Planters
National Bank, which began Immediately
upon the fact Of the Suspension being made
public, continued until about | O'Clock,
when matters Quilted down under III assur-
ance OF plenty 0. money to pay Ill depoSi

| TO Crystalize Dried grasses-Take one
| pound of powdered alum, pour on two or
| !hree quarts Of boiling water, place the
era ,ses in and let them remain until the
solution becomes cold and the alt1m crys-
taizes; do not move them while crystal
izIng. 1t takes about twelve hours.
Prevention Of Fires~~Add one ounce Of
alum to the last water used to rinse child
ren's dresses, and they will be rendered
rninflamabIe, or SO slightly combustible
that they would take fire very slowly, if
at all, and would not flame. BED curtains
and linen in general may also be treated
III the same way.
TO Restore Color-When color on a fab
ric has been accidentally or otherwise de-
stroyed by acid, ammonia is applied to-
neutralize the same, after which an appli-
cation Of chloroform will, in almost all
eases, restore the original color. The ap-
plication OF ammonia is common, but that
of chloroform is but little known.
Housekeepers are sometimes troubled
with white spots ON their yarnshed
furniture, caused By contact with wet ar
ticles. These may be removed BY holding
warming-pan full Of Goals over the spot.
Care should be taken not to hold the Goals
near enough 10 scorch; and the place
should be- rubbed with a flannel cloth
while warm.
\ few drops OF cArbolic acid IN a pint OF
water will clean house plants Of lice in q
III a very short time. If mosquitoes or
other blood-suckers infest your sleeping
rooms at night, uncork bottle of penny
royal, and these insects leave in great
haste, nor will they return SO long as the
air in the room is loaded with the fumes
Of that aromatic herb.
10 Clean Light Kid Gloves--Put tables
spoonful of milk III II saucer; take piece
Of white flannel, wet it slightly in the
milk, then rub on yellow soap, and with it
clean the soiled parts of the glove. The
result is entirely satisfactory. Always
takea fresh place in the flannel, and when
all parts have been used, wash out clean
in water and proceed, observing to use
little moisture and much soap.

quartz lead in the heavy timber some
miles south of Red Mountain, Montana,

a rough cabin, with an open hole left
there for the purpose of developing
their property. Last week their pro-
visions got low and they came to Hele-

turned to camp Wednesday. On
approaching close to their cabin they
were startled at seeing a bear come
Ioahng out of the door with a noncha-
liant air, as If be were pretty well salts
