Street Car Strike.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21-Startling de-
velopments in street cal strike to-day
was the discovery by the police of an
internal machine in Washington
avenue car track, at the corner Comp
ton avenue and Norman street. The
machine was a piece Of two inch gas
pipe, two feet long and filed with gun
powder; at either end was affixed a
gun cap SO arranged as to commune
cate with the powder within and in
the center Of the pipe a rod was
inserted which also communicated
with the powder. The machine was
laid along the groove in the track
and so arranged that the wheel Of a
a would discharge the cap as oon as
it was touched. The gas pipe is now
at headquarters. There were no other
developments in the strike to-day. All
lines are running. The strikers and
Knights Of Labor had stated that they
would put on lines of herdics and om-
nibuses this morning, one to follow
each car, but they have not done so

THEN AND NOW.
MRS. A. ". CURTIS, in Inter Ocean.

When the morning of life was before me
said It will always be fair,
Ny pathway shall lie among roses,
With never a thorn or a care.
And the path shall lead up to the mountain
That Is crowned with the temple OF fame;
will carve on its fairest tablet
In glowing letters my name.
The whole world shall bow before me,
shall set my throne so high
In the swelling hearts of the people,
And then--ahl then can die.
But before the beautiful morning
Had widened into the day,
OH my weary feet were bleeding
With the roughness of the way.
And said, let my life-path lead me
Into the valleys low and sweet
Where only the fair bright blossoms
Of oYe sprang up at my feet.
Who're the wild winds cannot reach me
With their desolating blast,
And the path follow meekly
Shall grow brighter to the last.
All! now the crown am wearing
SO proudly is love, and my name,
Is written in glowing letters,
Tho not in the halls OF fame.
The throne where reign supremacy
Is set in the heart of home,
Where the sunshine loves to linger
And the shadows rnrely come.
And OF all rare, costly jewels,
o, the fairest and the best
Were lent 70 me by our Father
cradeled them on my breast
And lest should grow forgetful
And wander away into sin,
] had crosses 10 bear with patience,
And glorious crown TO win.
SO my day gides on to its evening,
Aud my life down to Deaths dark night,
shall sleep, but only 10 waken,
70 morning OF heavens own light.

His Last Appearance on the Stage
HaIIucinations and Aimless Wan
derings.
John McCullough's last appearance
on the stage was in McVicker's Thea
ire, Chicago, on the night of Sept. 90.
1884. He was playing the title role
in 1.-The Gladiator. Although he had
been failing rapidly for several weeks
before, it was not until this night that
it became evident that he could no
longer bear up under his mental
and physical in6rmities. It was a la
mentable exhibition and it was neces-
sary to prompt him throughout the
play. Several times he turned to the
prompter and asked in an audible
voice: "What did you saya" At an
other time he turned abruptly on a
fellow actor and said angrily: That's
not your speech" Many of the audi
tors left the theatre in disgust, under
the impression that the great tragedl-
an WAS drunk. At the conclusion Of
the last act Mr.. Mccullough walked
to the footlights aud made pathetic
speech n which he thanked the audi~
for their forbearance and assured them
that he was sick and not drunk.
On the following day his manager,
Mr.. Brooks, called on Mr.. McVicker
and suggested the ACCESSIBILITY of can
ceiling the engagement. This met the
latter's views and that night the the
atere was closed. After consulta~
ton with several of the actors friends
Mr.. Brooks cancelled all dates for the
season. This was done without the
knowledge of the actor and there was
some anxiety felt as to how he would
receive the news. That afternoon he
rehearsed with the company as usual
and after the rehearsal he was told
what had been done. He received the
news calmly and, with deep drawn
sigh, said:
"Well, I guess 1t is for the best. I
need rest for a few weeks" During
the next twenty-fo hours he remain.

The detectives did all Ia their power
to amuse their charge and distract him
from the determination to ful6ll his
engagement at Detroit. Opiates were
administered at times, but late in the
afternoon he rose from his bed and
said that ne was going out. His at
tendants tried in vain to dissuade him
from leaving and when one of them
took kimtby the arm to detain him
he picked up heavy cane and felled
the officer to the floor by a powerful
blow on the head. The other officers
sprang on him then and after des-
pernte struggle succasded in overs
towering him.
After this outburst he became more
calm and two days later went toSt
Louis, in company with ]. 81. Brislin.

TO CLEAN BOOKS.
How Various Kinds Of stains May BE
Easily Removed.

How Various Kinds Of stains May BE
Easily Removed.
Chambers Journal
The first thing to be done In book
that wants washing is 10 cut the
stitches and separate the work into
sheets. Then a glance may be taken
for the separation of those leaves or
sheets which are dirty from those
which have stains of ink or oil. The
dirty leaves are now placed in bath
composed of quarter of a pound OF
chloride of lime and the same quanti-
ty of soda to about quart of water.
These are left to soak until the paper
has regalned its proper tint. The
pages are now lifted out tenderly into
a second bath of cold, and if possible
running water, where they are left
six hours. This removes all traces of
lime. The paper, then thoroughly
dried by exposure, must be dipped in
to third bath of size and water, and
again laid out to dry. This restores
the consistency of the paper. Press
ure between printers glazed boards
will then restore smoothnesS to the
leaves. The toniug of the washed
leaves in accordance with the rest of
the book is delicate process which
requires some experience. Some shag
tobacco STEPPED in hot water will usu
ally give the necessary coloring mat
ter, and a bath III this liquid the nee
essary tone.
The process described above may do
for water stains, but if the pages are
dirtied by grease, oil, coffee, candle
drippings or ink, different treatment
will be required. Dilute spirits of salt
with five times its bulk Of water, and
let the oil stained pages lie in the
liquid for four minutes-not longer
then remove and wash, as before, In
cold water. To remove ink, solution
of oxaltic, citric, or tartaric acid
should be used, but care must be taken
in the washing and sizing. If tine
grease is a spot Ia the middle of a
page, place between two sheets of
blotting paper, or cover it with pow
dered French chalk (the blotting paper
is preferably and pass hot iron over
the place. This will melt the grease
which is Immediately soaked up by
the chalk or paper. For dirty finger
marks the following is recommended :
Cover the mark with a piece of clean
yellow soap for two or three hours,
then wash with a sponge and hot
water and dip the page in weak acid
and water. Give another bath of hot
water and thoroughly cleanse with
cold water. To remove ink stains
Dip the page in a strong solution OF
oxaltic acid. then in solution of one
part hydrocloric acid and six parts of
water, after which battle ia cold water
and allow to dry slowly. Vellum
covers which require cleaning may
be made almost equal to new by wash
ing with W eaK salts of lemon, or, if
not much soiled, warm soap and
water. :. Grease may be removed from
covers of bound books by scraplng a
little pipeclay, French chalk, or mag
nesia over the place and then ironing
with an iron not too hot, else it will
discolor the leather.
