Temperance Republicans and Bracket.

Temperance Republicans and Bracket
The committee appointed at the recent con-
ference Of temperance republicans in Massa-
chusetts met in Boston Saturday and agreed
that the republican state convention had re-
jected the requests Of the temperance repub-
icans conventions; that it had refused to indorse
statutory prohibition; that it had nominated
candidate for governor who has always been
opposed to prohibition; that the platform COM
mitted the party to the support Of the high
license abomination and its corrupting iniiu-
ences. Therefore" they say, ''there Is left to
consistent temperance republicans the duty of
organizing a strong protest against this action
of our party"

HARRISON DINGMAN, Chief of Sta
The Cable Road on Seventh Street.

The Cable Road on Seventh Street,
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
notice there is much discussion, and that il
is not unlikely there will be some litigation. in
regard to preparing It'll street for the cable
road Why cannot this work be done in a bust
ness like manner, with the least possible in
convenience to the residents Of 7th street and
the public generally? When the work of
| changing the street railways in Chicago from
horse to cable lines was in progress the COM
panies were allowed to tear up but two blocks
at one time. They (the company erected sew
| eral extra electric lights in the street along
the blocks where the work was being done
and worked two shifts of men. one working
during the day, the other nights. Two days
to each block was all the time required. When
one block was completed another one was torn
up, but two blocks being disturbed at any one
time. Our merchants would willingly submit
to an interruption of that length Of time. If
the work could be done in this manner there
would be no necessity of putting the iron cast
ings along the entire length of 7th street
They could be distributed as needed. From
the fact that the castings are so distributed
and that the company want to lay a line Of
| road out 9th street while the 7th-street road is
undergoing change, it is presumed that it is
| the intention Of the railroad company to tear
| the street up from one end to the other and
complete it at its leisure, thus unnecessarily
lnterruptlng business and making q nuisance
Of the whole affair. 1t will cost no more to
do the work in the manner indicated than it
will to have the track all torn up at once from
the Boundary to the avenue. In no other
large city in this country would any corpora
ton be permitted to tear up its principal
streets from one end to the other and leave it
in this condition for so long a time. We re-
Gently had an example on Pennsylvania ave-
nue., where the center of the street was torn
up from 7th to 18th street, when the company
Was relayingtits track. PRoGREss.

regulate her activity to suit herself.
and remain on the defensive or assume
the offensive as she feels like it.
Twenty minutes of active fencing will
give more exercise to all the muscles
of the body than two hours of pretty
fast walking. One of the members of
the ladies class said to the writer that
in her opinion one months fencing will
teach a girl better how to walk and
carry herself In drawing-room than
years lessons in dancing or calls

1.-the, straight figures and graceful mo-
ton of the ladies who indulge in fenc-

letics an exercise so eminently fitted
for the use of the fair sex and for
their physical development.-Har

Fashionable Colored Woods.

The beautiful colored woods, espe-
cially those representing walnut and
mahogany, now so largely used for
cabinet work and architectural decora-
ton on the continent of Europe. are
obtained, it is stated, by the following
simple processes: For the light wal
nut variety. the method pursued is to
dissolve two ounces permauganate of
potash in six pints OF water, and paint
the wood twice with the solution; after
the solution has been left on the wood
some five to ten minutes, the wood is
rinsed, dried, oiled, and finally pol
ished. the light variety being thus pro-
duced. A beautiful light mahogany is
obtained by means of a solution con-
sisting of one ounce finely cut alkanet
root, two ounces powdered aloe, with
two ounces of powdered dragons blood,
digested with twenty-six ounces of
strong spirits of wine in a corked bot
tie, and left in moderately warn
place four days, the solution being
then filtered off, and the clear filtrate
is ready for use; the wood to be treat
ed is first passed through nitric acid,
then dried, painted over with the alco-
holic extract, dried, oiled, and pol
ished. A dark or deeper coIored wal
nut is obtained by dissolving three
ounces permanganate of potash in six
pints of water, and planting the wood
twice with this solution; after five
minutes the wood is washed and
grained with acetate of iron, then
dried. oiled and polished. Y. Sun.
