SWEEPING DAY.

How 1t Can Be Robbed of Some OF ItA
Most Disagreeable Features.
If you look at your house-work as
the means to delightful home, it viii
not seem hard or hateful; even the,
dreaded sweeping day, which own to-
liking worse than wash day, leads to
the repose of fresh, fragrant rooms,
and a sanctity from dust and deface-
ment. 1t need not be quite SO much
penance if you have proper aids.

for large furniture, carpet sweeper,
brushes, patience, care, etc.
II you sweep with a broom, use
damp tea leaves, bran, coarse meal.
saw-dust or dry snow, to keep down
the dust, remembering to have these
things damp, not wet; to sprinkle only
yard or two where you mean
to sweep at once, and to take it up
with the sweepings before you go to
the next place. Brushing damp
mass of dust and trash over a whole
carpet is not the way to improve it,
Fine carpets like Wilton or Moquette
should be swept with the pile to keep
them from wearing; and dealers sag
that Brussels should be swept only one
way. 1t is a good rule always to begiE

taking up the dust every yard or two.
Take rugs up, bringing opposite sides
together, not to spill the dust; lay
them face down on green sward, or
hang them so out of windows, and
beat the backs till all the dust is out.

the firm woven ground of the rugs

BoYCOTTING A SHOW.

A Washington special telegram to
an eastern exchange says, "a
great deal of Indignation Is being
shown" over proposition to exhibit in
the national capital panorama of the
second battle of Bull Run. 1t is further
said that the attention of Congress will
be called to the matter, with the view
to the prohibition of the show. The
Grand Army post has taken up the
question and proposed to boycott the
panorama under the following resolu-
ton:
Whereas, There is being erected in the
city of Washington building for the
purpose of exhibiting to the public a
panorama of the second battle of Bull
Run; and whereas, the said battle was
an unexpected victory for the rebel
arms and b initiating defeat for the de-
tenders of the Union; and whereas, it
is contrary to the principles for which the
Grand Army of the Republic fought and
for which their comrades died, to per
petuate in the minds of the rising
generation the disasters of the la,e war
and the triumph Of treason; therefore
be it
ResoIved, That it is the sense Of this
o )st that the soldiers of the Grand Army
of the Republic should pledge them
selves to discourage the patronage OF
said exhibition, for the reason that it is
d signed for the purpose of gain, to
crafty the spirit OF treason. perpetuate
in the memory of the people the tri.
umphs of those who sought to over
throw the Union, and exemplify one OF
the most disastrous and Illuminating de
feats suffered by the Union Army dur
ing the late war.
1t transpires that there were NO
reasonable motives in the selection OF
the battle, business reasons alone being
consulted. The company engaging in
the enterprise are all northern men
and most OF them did gallant service in
the Union Army; the president, ex-
Governor Beveridge of Illinois, holds q
high rank in the Grand Army, and he
had more to do than any other man
with the selection OF the battle men
toned for representation. 1t is ever
said that but one member OF the piano.
rama company is Democrat, all the
others being pronounced and active Re
publicans.
All of which goes to show that what
ever may be the case with reference t
other parts Of the country, the fools O.
Washington are not yet dead.

MONOPOLY FACTS.

When one reads the story of the Bell
telephone monopoly he Gee not wonder
that the concern is now buying and
bribing newspapers and paying tremen-
dous ices TO lawyers in an effort TO re-
tain control of the patent which was
obtained by fraNd. According to the
New York World
Professor Bell, who makes his home
in Washington, is supposed to be worth
100000. He was originally q Mas "a
chusetts man, and when he applied for
his first patent, was teacher OF Ian
guages ia 2 school for deaf and dumb.
II was through his Boston acQuain-
tanceship Iaat the first company was
organized w. II. Forbes Of Boston is
the president. He is said to be worth
from S5.009.O00 te $4,000 which
comfortable sum has accumulated
on an original investment OF $64 900.
Other Massachusetts men who have
made fortunes the same way are Gard
ner 6. Hubbard, OF Boston said to be
worth 80 Geo eco. c. Y. Bowditch, of
Boston. and vice president of the COM
pany. is said to be worth fully as much.
Theodore II. Vail is the manager of the
three times over. Elk Congressman W
W. Grape, of Massachusetts, is another
who has grown rich on an original
Smah investment.
1t seems that the original investors
paid from $50 to $40 per share. The
stock has since then been watered seven
times, and the shares which have
shrunk considerably since the investi-
CATION into the manner in which the
patent was obtained, are still worth
$50. 50 that an original holder has nos
eight shares for each one which he
formerly held, and what he paid $50
,Ior is to day worth 81 200. The stock
OF the company now aggregates S24 900
O00. 7'flt 81
In addition TO its robbery of indivi-
duais it has been developed that the
company robs the public by the nom
payment OF taxes. I.makes and leases
the instruments to local companies at an
enormous rental. but pays no taxes on
its property. In the entire New York
State last year the total tax collected
from the Bell Company amounted to
only $9ies, while 1t drew from the
State many thousands of dollars for the
use of its instruments. The instruments
in every city or town where there is an
exchange, DC not belong to the local
company, bur to the Bell. and nov that
public attention has been called to it.
assessors should see that they get the
property on their lists.

THE ASSAULT.

Every sane person in Utah will deeply
deplore the assault upon District At
tOFney Dickson last evening. 1t is a
most unfortunate affair considered
from any position, and SO far as has
been learned at this writing is devoid of
a single clement of justification. 1t is
unfortunate not alone for those said o
be guilty of perpetrating the outrage;
indeed, if they alone were to suffer for
their deed very few would entertain
even a small degree of sympathy
for them. The worst feature OF
the ugly business is that the entire COM
naEnity will be made to suffer for the
senseless brutal act of two or three hot
headed, reckless young men, whose
brainswere disordered and maddened by
intoxicants. With sensible, fair minded
people, only the guilty parties them
selves will be blamed, but they are many
persons in this world who are neither
sensible nor fair-minded, and upon the
minds of those will the wicked and
scheming play in an endeavor to mag
Nifty this affair into a mormon Out
rage" saddling it upon the community.
We believe Mr.. Dickson is too brave and
honorable a man to suggest that the
Mormons approve OF the assault, or
that he would desire to saddle them
with the responsibility for an attack
which they will denounce quite as
sincerely and as heartily as
he can do; but there are
those who are waiting and watching
for the occurrence of just such incl
dents to fasten tighter the tolls about
the afflicted people of Utah. As for the
respected gentleman now lying sick,
whose name will necessarily be dragged
into this sad affair, no true man, no
man who knows him even slightly, will
have the cowardice or meanness TO sug-
gest that he had anything whatever to
do with it, or that he will fail to repro
bate it when he learns of what has been
done.

The actual capital of the monopoly Is
a little over 100000. The average
price paid by the stockholders ~as $50
per share, and hence the original invest
ment was only about 100000. On this
the profits of the company last year
were nearly s2,Oo0.OOO.s Its expenses
are very light, the original cost OF its
property small, and its income huge
and certain. AS monopoly it has no
rival, and to what it Will attain before
its patent expires, unless checked up,
no one can undertake to foretell. Late
developments have shown that another
monopoly has slice of the pie. There
is an arrangement between the Bell
and the Western Union telegraph COM
panies by which the latter collects a
percentage from the from the former,
this royalty last year amounting to
over $500 900.
Some of the Bell officials have ex-
pressed surprise that the company has
no friends among the people or the
press, except such as are bought and
paid for. This should not be astonish-
ing; robbers seldom have other friends
than those that are made so by money.

The whitc-aproncd bartender bent
down, and from a shelf underneath the
polished mahogany brought up O dish
Of butter in which was stuck a silver

glass and stirred it about until it was
melted. Then he drank the concoction
slowly. with an oily smile overspread-

Yes, it is rather a curious drink, ~
ssid the bartender to the reporter stand

and a great favorite with some gentle
