Judge L'Amoresux of Ballston. the attor-
rey of MIR. Arkell. proceeded to Washington
and consulted the postmaster general re-
gsrding the matter. The latter feared, how
ever. that the statutes would stand in the
way and prevent any such sale. He decided
to examine into the matter and see what
could be done, and assured Mr.. Arkell that
he appreciated the enterprise and generosity
which had suggested the scheme.

The Bed old Times.
 Golden Ruia.

00z8&M A8A8s
 For . change, how does tho forsgo- ing caption lookf We have long been accustomsd to the other phrase, ''the good old times = lot us change it. There were the bad old times of the French revolution, when blood flowed like water and the greatest murderer was the best fellow. There were worse old times before tho French revolu- ton; times of tyranny and royal caprice and unutterable debauchery in high places; times that could only be purified as by Ire. There were the bad old times of the middle ages in Europe, when children were allowed to have their feelings wrought up 70 that they would enlist by the 10000 In . hopelt@ crusade against the Mos- lems, oniy to die by the 10000.
 There were the bod old times in England when 1t was . perfectly respectable thing for . gentleman to get drunk once in . while, and when no one was reAd out of good society because he was . gambler, and when women labored half. naked In the coal mines, worse treated than the donkeys themselves.
 There were the times when only the few could obtain an education, and the masses could scarcely hope to get above tho condition of their fathers.
 There were the bod old times in our own land when there was only one protesting Christian to every fourteen of the population, instead of one in i've as ct present; when our rulers were pronounced atheists and our scholars were pronounced skeptics. There were the bad old times of slavery and disunion and civil war and carpet bagism. There were the bad old times when not one voice, even of one crying in the wilderness, was raised against the curse of rum- selling; when some ministers of the gospel themselves tip- pied ct each house on their round of pastoral calls, and the members of the flock were not slow to follow their example.
 Let us thank God that the bad old times have gone never to return, as we hope. The new times are not as good as those that arc coming, but they are better than the past, and the eastern sky is brightening.

The Opening of the Regular Dramatic
 Season of Haviin's Theatre.

The Opening of the Regular Dramatic
 Season of Haviin's Theatre.
 The regular season of Havlin's thea Ire, Wabash avenue and Nineteenth street, will begin Sunday night, Sep tember Sth, on which occasion MT. John H. Havlin will have the honor of presenting the sterling actor, MT. Frank Mayo, in an elaborate revival of Murdock's "D&vy Crokett," in which presentation an excellent conn., pany will essay the subordinate char acters.
 "Davy Crockett" Is c characteriza- ton that has brought fame to MT. Mayo. Strictly American in theme and motive-devoid of the offensive Indian trappings, 1t stands to-day . dis tinctively American play. Its romance is of delightful character-winning in its nature-pure in sentiment-such sentiment as should ind . resting place in every American's heart. To sec sDavy Crockett" is to be armed with telling argument against the oft stated argument "that American life offers no theme for dramAtists." " The mounting of the play with proper scenery Is promised. Dressed in its suit of rough hewn logs, rustic houses, waterfalls, snow- bedecked tor- ests, the magnificent stage of Havlin's theatre will present September Sth . beautiful picture of rustic life, enliv- ened by the dialogue of cheerful back woods play, instructive alike to young and old. By all means go and see "Davy Crockett" during its run.

 For weeks her life wAs despaired of and when ct lAst she recovered 1t va only to realize the fact that, besides being horribly dishgured, she was to tally blind for life ct the age of fort! years.
 Helen was terribly grieved that he faithful nurse. as she thought her should be % afflicted and wrote to he unknown guardian in New York, ask ing that she might be received on he return and kindly cared for.
 There were yet i've years to elaps before the young lady's education would Dc finished, as her mother de sired her to be thoroughly acoom plished.
 Mrs. Richardson returned to New York, sold out her business, placet her money In bank and retired int. strict seclusion in c cheap boarding house. Meanwhile money was freely furnished for her daughter, who grad uated, and after c short season in SO ciety was married most advantage ously.
 There was just ono thing more fol Mrs. Richardson to do, and that sh' did unhesitatingly. She took all tha remained of her money except on thousand dollars and gave 1t to hel daughter for . dover. She had nevel returned to Paris nor did she ever ex. pect to. She had expiAted her sin by the sacrifice of her lie; % far as pos. sible she had atoned.
 For the past twelve years she hal managed to exist, going from cheaT lodgings to cheaper ones until her lAs1 abode was in one of the wretchet shanties on Ninety third street.
 This summer an old New Yorkel visiting Paris met Mime. Helen Des' prets.
 "You speak English rsmarkably we'll, madame" said the gentleman.
 "I should do so," was the reply "My father and mother were botl Americans"

 The lady then began to ply hin eagerly with questions. The one de sire of her lie was to know more O her parents.

HER LIFE FOR HER CHILD,

A gentleman who has just returne' from the Paris Expositior~tells story which out-romances romano It is the story of . woman's life, ia out of the ordinary.
 Thirty-hve years ago, in one Of th fine old houses on Second avenue, live, a couple who were known to the yer, swell part of New York society . Mir. and Mrs. Scott Richardson.
 The gentleman was on the sunset side of sixty, but the lady was youn, and beautiful.
 He was a practical business man and made all else subservient to that Society was a bore to him, but b made no objection to having his wifi in the very diExiest of the swim.
 The result was just what would nat urAlly come from such . course. On morning all the city dailies chronicles an elopement in high life. The beau tiful Mrs. Richardson had eloped witl MT. Hugh Mcbride, . wealthy younl broker, who had been the seasons pc in society.
 If Mir. Richardson cared he con ceAled his feelings remarkably well He closed his house, took apartments il hotel and went serenely on with hi business up to the time of his death which occurred about ten years later He left all of his wealth to the son O 6 former marriage, and, 90 far as out ward seeming went, had entirely for gotten his wife.
 The lady in question went with he lover to Paris, where they took apart ments in the Rue Troget and for thre years lived a very gay lie. At tn end of that time . child was born, little girl, who was named Helen Mo Bride. The young father seemed al at once to tire of his love, and with m word of farewell he left Paris and re turned to New York, where he mar ried within a year . young lady t. whom he had been betrothed befor he knew Mrs. Richardson.
 Deserted as she was, with no re sources and no friends, and with child to support, Mrs. Richardsol awoke to the fact that something mus Oc uOno. one was woman or nerve and she loved her child with all tn strength of her passionate soul.
 Realizing that the future of he daughter depended solely upon he efforts, she resolved upon course O action which would enable her to ed ucate her daughter and place her in & honorable position in society.
 Gathering up all the money sh could command, she went to one o the best private institutions in Paris where she made arrangements to hay her child carefully reared and thor oughly educated. She was to furnis all needfnl money, and once c yea she was to visit her, but the little giI was not to know that she was he mother.
 Having completed her plans, MT, Richardson returned to her nativ city, where for years she preside over . notorious resort on Gree street. It was notorious because C Its splendor.

Hints to Housekeepers.

REMOVE spots from furniture with
kerosene.
WHAT this country needs is more hus-
bands to keep their wives scissors and
kitchen knives sharp.
If you keep your -four in bucket set
it on high, dry shelf; don't leave it on
the floor or it will become musty.
To LAUNDER red table linen: Use
tepid water, with q little powdered
borax, which serves to set the color;
wash the linen separately and quickly,
using very little soap; rinse in tepid
water containing little boiled starch;
hang out to dry in the shade, and iron
when almost dry.
If glass dishes and tumblers and other
articles of that ware are put into kettle
and covered entirely with cold water,
and the water is allowed to boil quickly
for a short time, and ifthe kettle is then
removed from the stove and placed in a
cool spot until the water has become
cold, the articles will be so toughened
in the process that they will not break
easily. Keep the kettle covered tightly
until the water has had time to COOL
