Eleven years ago Charles H. Martin

Eleven years ago CnarlcS ii. Martin
and Martha Spencer were married in
Ohio. After their modest wedding the
young couple, with their joint savings,
bought a small farm near Oberlin, and
became residents of Lorain county where
they lived for Il year. Martin was then
attacked with the western fever in its
most acute form, and, selling his farm,
started for the Neosho valley, Kansas.
Mrs. Martin was left in Ohio, intending
to remain until her husband should locate
farm and send for her. Martin, when
he reached the boundless west, caught
the fever in dead earnest, and for six
months was sick at Usage City. When
first Frustrated he wrote for his wife, but
the letter never reached her, and shortly
before his recovery he received his own
missive through the dead letter depart
ment. He wrote again, but received no
response, and when able to travel started
for Ohio again with a much lighter
purse. He went to Oberlin and found
that his wife after waiting vainly for Il
letter from her husband had gone to
Chester to her aunts. To Chester Mar
lin proceeded at once, and there was .in-
formed that his aunt had occupied lot
in the village cemetery for four months,
and that Mrs. Martin had gone to Cleve-
land. The anxious husband came to this
city and advertised and searched, but in
vain. Geart broken and discouraged
Martin again departed westward.
He lost what little money he had
remaining and roamed about for two
years aimlessly. The Black Hills excite
ment caught him and he was one of the
first tie stake out a claim therein. He To-
Gated several in succession, selling them
in IJrr fn of fho md Of
three years found himself worth in the
neighborhood of ten thousand dollars,
which he invested IN q stock ranch in
Southern Kansas, and settled down to
the life of a cattle grower.
Last Monday he again appeared in this
city, in response to letter sent him, and
was reunited to his wife from whom he
had been separated for nearly ten years.
After the death of her relative, Mrs Mar.
tin had not gone to Cleveland, as was
thought, but had gone to gainesville.
There she remained a few weeks, and
taking what little wealth she had inheri-
ted from her aunt, started to Kansas to
seek her husband. She returned three
months later and ever since made Cleve-
land her home, supporting herself by
sewing. The was informed of her hus-
bands search for her here but all efforts
to discover trace of him through letters
to the West were fruitless, and She calm
ly waited for events to occur. Her patti
ence was rewarded, for early this month
letter was received at Chester from the
long absent Martin, asking if anything
had been heard of his wife.
The last few days have been spent by
the long separated pair in renewing the
courtship of their youth and receiving
the CONGRATULATIONS of the friends gained
by the lady during her eight years. resi-
they start for Florence, Kansas, near
which town Martins farms lies, and
where his check is good for $25, 600.

THE LAUNDRY.

To REMOVE oils and varnishes from
silk fabrics use benzine, ether, and soap
very cautiously.
PAINT stains that are dry and old may
be removed from cotton or wooden
goods with chloroform. It is a good
plan to first cover the spot with olive
oil OF butter.
MACHINE grease may be removed
from wash goods by dipping the fabric
In cold rain water and soda.
A LITTLE gin dissolved in skim milk
and water will restore the stiffness and
luster to Grape, and make it look like
new.
To wash colored table linen use tepid
water, with little powdered borax ;
wash quickly, using but little soap, and
rinse in tepid water containing boiled
starch; dry in the shade, and when
almost dry, iron.
BLACK stockings should be washed
in cool lather of plain white soap, a
little ammonia, and rain water. Do
not wiring but press the moisture out.
and roll in cloth and keep from the
air while drying.
To REMOVE tar, rub thoroughly with
clean lard, and then wash with soap and
warm water. This may be applied to
either the hands or clothes.
To WASH wooden goods nicely, to each
pail of water used add one tablespoon
full Of ammonia and one of beef-gall
wash out quickly and rinse thoroughly
in warm water with a very little beef
gall added.
WHEN the color of silk has been de.
stroyed by any strong acid, it may be
restored by carefully wetting the spot
with strong soap lather, to which q
little saleratus has been added. When
the color has been taken out by fruit
stains ammonia will restore it.
IT is common paragraph in the
newspaper: "How to clean rusty fiat
irons" Beeswax is often recommended
so is kerosene, and white wax. None
of these are really effectual. The wo
man in the other part of the house, the
wife of carpenter, says she always
uses the half worn pieces of sand paper
that her husband throws away. She
rubs the rusty iron over it few times
and it is perfectly smooth and FREE
from rust. We were very glad to learr
this bit of clever ho1gcwite!y mag
ing. It is worth remembering

To prevent scarlet fa1 mel or worsted
goods OF any description from losing
their color when washed, put half a
cup OF flour with quart of cold water
and let it boil about fifteen minutes,
and then mix with the warm suds in
which the goods are to be washed. Do
not rub on beard, but squeeze and
rinse up and down several times. Make
the snds before putting the article in,

NASHViLLE'S Reform.

ment ON Foot
Looking 10 the Forfeiture oftbe Charter
aad TurniBg the City Into

NAsHvILLE, Tenn, December S.-A large
| number of the most respectable people il
Nashville met at the Masonic Theater TO-
night, at which a citizens reform association
was organized by the election of Col. A. s
Collar president following resolutions
presented by Col. Coiyar, were unanimously
adopted:
Resolred, That the ward system of munici.
pal government for the city of Nashville has
proved failure.
Resolued, That while conservatism and in.
telligence demand that an established system
shall not be rashiy changed, that Irregular.
-, - or even great abuses OF system should
still standing. vet Thefsgy system len good in itself
| long and expensive tests, itself proves faff-
ure, it would be gross negligence and slug
gish indifference, leading to self-destruction,
not to change it.
Resolved, That the great error of the ward
system as heretofore kept Hp in many cities,
as we believe, in its working is twofold.
Firs', it gives too mush power to leading
ward politicians, who, as 3 rule, are not
trained to business; and are not suited ID
no anage the business affairs of a city, and we
hereby utter our solemn and deliberate
Judgment that what city needs in
the conduct of its affairs is business
men and not legislators; seconu, ihe "aIo
system az practiced is an effort TO transact
business without any head, and is founded
in an established fallaey, that is, large num-
bers with equal powers. This may be right
iu policy, but it is established fallacy in
business which demands consideration and
personal responsibility. Therefore
Resoltsd, That it is the sense of this meet
ing that the city of Nashville will be batter
off, and its business affairs better managed,
if they are put in the hands of five frst-class
business men selected alone by the legal
voters on account of their business capacity,
than in the hands of any larger number; it
is further
Rcsotued, That we hereby instruct our rep
resentstives elected from Davidson county
TO the General Assembly to use all possible
me ans 10 procure the passage of such bill
as will carry into effect the views herein ex-
pressed.

In another column of this mornings AP-
PEAL will be found an article from the Nash
vile American that deserves the attention of
every citizen. The speedy justice guaranteed
TO ihen constitutional tight is not 10 be
had in this State. The docket of he Supreme
Court OF the State is crowded with cases to
which prompt attention cannot be given.
TIE fault is not with the judges OF the court.
They are ovsrworked, but their utmost ef-
forts cannot accomplish all that is required.
Il is the legislature that must take action
and insure justice to the people. II the peo-
pie are to obey he law, the courts must be in
coalition TO decide, 10 disputed cases,
what the law is. The bar OF Memphis is
showing praisewosthy vigilance in the at,en-
ton it is giving 10 this weighty matter, and
We are desired to notify its members that
their presence is requested at the office Of
Mr.. Estes at IL o'clock this morning, 10
take into consideration the important subject
We here call attention TO.

THE "Royal Benefit" of which W had the
personal assurance Of the agent here that it
was beyond question sound institution, has,
as we warned him in the course OF an inter-
view, gone the way OF all the other organizi-
tions of its kind. 1t rested on basis that
was bad, that TO all careful and prudent men
was seen 10 be false. Il had no way of esrn-
ing the pre- emiums it offered for new business,
and therefore had no recourse but to rob
Peter to pay 2 ul. The FIRST classes profted
by the scheme, The weight OF which was
borne on the shoulders OF the LATER. This
was too much for them and collapse ensued.
The few others that remain will go the same
way, and by and by he people will wake up
and wonder why they did not take the aG-
vice offered by the APPEAL some year or
more ago snd let these so called benefit soci-
cites severely alone.

MANNING.CHALMERS
Meeting OF the Congressional Friends Of
the Former to Determine What
Action Shall Re Taken
In Regard to His Certificate of Election
The Meade CIaim-Tw0-Cent
Postage-Capital Briefs.

WASHINGTON, December S-The House
Committee on Postofices and Postroads this
morning unanimously adopted the report
OF Chairman Bingham in favor of the
passsge of Representative Auderson's rs. ]
bill reducing letter postsge 10 two csnis per
hall ounce, 10 lake effect January 1, 1884.
Mr.. Bingham, in his report to the House
urging the reduction of letter postage 10 two
cents, gives statistics as far back as 1892,
when the rate for carr ying letters was six
cents for a distance of thirty miles and
twenty-five cents fer $50 miles. There is
$50 careful estimate, based on history OF
the reductions in the past, which sustains the
theory of the report, that the stimulus to
letter-writing which would particularly be
caused by reduction would greatly lessen the
estimated loss the fret year, which, not
counting such increase OF letters; would only
reach $500, 1000. The entire loss, the report
assumes, could be Offset by fair allow nee
for carrying the mail-m after of the govern
meut. 1t is also estimated that should TIE
reduction not take effect until January /,
1884, as provided in the amended Anderson
bill the surplus of the first half of that finan-
cial year.would balance the loss of the last
half, andthere would be ample time TO eI-
esnme6l sGraa1l ia in the printed supply Of gov
surplus of the Postofice Department In J6S2
will be fully doubled, it is believed, in 1888.
IL is suggested also that when the loss exPe-
rienced by this reduction should be fully
made up, and when there shall again be a
surplus, a reduction of postage on drop
letters should be made

THE Hon. David Dudley Field has given
his opinion of the Sunday law as laid down
in the new penal code of New York, which
is very largely his own hSndiwork. He ssys
the laws SIS they stand are sufficiently general
in statement and elastic in character to cover
all the legitimate requirements Of scci Ely.
They allow all works Of necessity aud ch sri-
ty, and in the present state of civiliz ,tion
the selling of newspapers, the running of
railroad trains aud ferry boats, operating tele-
graph wires and a score of other businesses
are works OF necessity. The keeping open
OF q restaurant or i livery stable, the taxi ug
of q sick vile or child down the harbor in
the summer, and, III short, pretty much
everything anyone is minded to do, provided
he does it in quiet and respectable way,
60 as not 10 excite attention and disturb any
body else, are entirely permissible. The
police justices do not seem TO have construed
the code in this spirit, nor is il at all likely
the higher courts will. Th. laws, therefore,
will in future De eolorced as rigidly as they
were last Sunday, aud the result will be
present loss to New York and the ultimate
repeal of the stupid code.

claim aggregates in round numbers 1875, 600
with interest from the 18th of May, 1920
This claim is without parallel in regard to
It's history as well as its justice. 1t has been
pending since 1908, and mas been before Con-
eress since 1928, and has been reported
fayorsbly from three committees OF the
Senate and ten committees of the House
and a bill providing for Its payment ha.
twice passed the Senate and once passed
the House, but never so as to become
an act OF the same Congress. Ii ha.
received the indorsement of The second

Meade, who is one OF the Two Survivors OF the
original heirs, has been in straitened circum-
stances for many wears and mas done writing
