Cleaning Costly Fabrics.

A careless waiter, or an accident. at
the dinner table may cause the appa-
rent ruin of laces. silks or velvets worth
large sums of money. Ii the lady tries
to clean them herself, she makes mat
tiers worse, and makes it impossible
for the professional cleaners to do any
thing with them afterward. These
cleaners have peculiar methods in rem
ovating these delicate fabrics, and
many Of them they will not reveal, as
they are secrets of their trade.
THE treatment of fine laces," said
a cleaner, sis an expensive and trouble
some process. A thick blanket of soft
RAGS is sewed around the bottle, and
on this the lace is pinned. 1t is quite
impossible to rub lace, as it would tear
/ it to pieces. The bottle is then placed
in bath of soapy warm water. After
soaking for twenty minutes it is boiled
/ for some time and then allowed to
cool It is dipped in several baths of
clear water. until the soap seems to be
removed The lace Is then removed
/ from the bottle, and after part of the
water is driven out by gentle pressure
it is hung up to dry.
LATTER time it is laid on soft cloth
to dry still more. When still slightly
damp it is placed on 3 hair cushion
covered with flannel, and is fastened
there with lace pins. This is a work
of skill and patience A pin passed
through each loop and twist is given
before the pin is fastened Sometimes
the loop is drawn straight and some
times not, the operator seeking TO fol-
i low the original design of the lace.
When quite dry the lace Is spongec
with weak solution of gum arabic
and, when dry again, it is almost q
/ good as new.
1.-THE method of cleansing velvet is {

this point. A bright little 5-year-old

CAUGHT IN A TRAP.
4 Missouri Postmaster Catches Mail
Robber i'm "A Bear Trap.

WASHINGTON, October 3.--The Postmaster Gen
eral yesterday received an amusing communIca-
ton from the Postmaster at Mllersburg, Galloway
County, Mississippi. After setting forth that the
Postoffice was located in his store al the cross
roads, the Postmaster described how he had
trapped q supposed mail robber- From his story
il appears that one night his store was entered by
opening rear window and a quantity OF mer-
chandise was taken away, together with n number
of postage stamps. There reason To suspect a
character in the negbborhood.
One night he concluded to set q steel bear trap
under the window where the entrance had pre-
viously been ma,ie> The robber came that night.
and used the trap to raise himself up to the win
dow, but before he could get into the store there
was e click and he was prisoner. Ii turned out
that the trapped robber was the son OF an iniuen-
tial parsonage in the neighborhaod. Despite the
fact that the stolen goods were found under his
bed. strong effort was made 10 get him OFF with
ont prosecution. The Postmaster asked what
could be done to secure a conviction. The Grand
Jury was shortly TO convene.
Postmaster General Villas turned the matter
over to the Chief Inspector of the Department,
who will send agent to investigate the case. IL
is a penal offense to break into any room used rs
n Postcffice by the United States, and information
TO this effect was furnished the proper officers To
aid them in prosecuting the prisoner. In talking
about the letter to-day the officials at the depart
ment thought that few steel bear traps judi
ciously distributed would check embellishments
by postal employees.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Our Illustrated Weekly Letter From the
National Capital
General Sheridan and the secretary of War
Admiral Porter and Something
About Him.

WASHINGTON, October "A good deal OF
interest is felt just now in regard TO the rela-
tions between General Sheridan and the
Secretary of War. A month ago, in the a5-
sence of General Sheridan, the War Depart
ment promulgated and caused to be pub
Iished generally couple of letters written
by Secretary Linco n, defining, from his
standpoint, the position and duties OF the
General OF the Army. These letters, written
by Secretary Lincoln in December and Janu-
airy last, are addressed to General Sheridan,
and were intended as a pretty vigorous shak-
ing up for him in regard to what Secretary
Lincoln evidently believed to be an assump-
ton OF unwarranted power by General Sheri-
dan. The publication of these letters,
both in the press and by sending them
through army officers was looked upon
as a direct announcement by the pres
errt Secretary of War that he eoncurred in
the views oppressed in them, and didn't pro-
pose TO have any foolishness from General
Sheridan. General Sheridan has just re-
turned and resumed his desk and everybody
is ON tiptoe to see what he IS golnto to do
