MR. WHEAT'S CASE.
The House Postmaster Thought His
Course a Proper One.

WASHINGTON, September 30.-In the in
vestigation of the charges against Postmas-
ter Wheat by the House committee on ac-
counts today, S. S. Daish. at present contrac-
tor for carrying the malls, said there was a
general understanding that the postmaster
had the right to the mail contract business,
and the difference there might be in what he
could get the work done for and the amount
appropriated He insisted that he did not
pay Mr.. Wheat cent for his contract in any
way. shape or form.
Postmaster Wheat took the stand and de-
MED the testimony of yesterday that per-
son named Feister had been put on the rolls
of the Office. Mr.. Wheat declared that he
any employ ee in the Office. He thought it all
right to have his son do the work he had per-
formed, other than his own. With reference
to Bradley, Mr.. Wheat said he entered the
room while his son and Bradley were talking
about the pay Bradley was TO receive for
having his name on the rolls. He told his
son he had better let Caswell withdraw his
government position and settle the matter.
Mr.. Wheat reiterated his former statements
that he thought he was doing proper thing
when he entered into a contract with Gull
bertson. Mr.. Dalton said the contractor
could afford to pay ihim $3.50 a month. It
was general understanding that he OBJ
tained everywhere that this was an office
perquisite. He had no interest whatever in
the contract with Daish, the present con-
tractor.
s, j. Weeks testified that during the PEN
dency of Culbertson's contract he sold Dali
ton, the ex-postmaster, wagons, etc., for the
service and Dalton paid him.

Care Of Glassware.

Since 1t Is the fashion to use great deal
Of glass on the table, the care OF II Is a
matter OF some Importance to the housekeep-
er. Cut glass comes In all sorts Of shapes
and patterns, fl ON the simplest to the most
elaborate conceivable, and the designs are
cleYerly initiated Ia pressed glass; in some
cases so perfectly as to deceive one at the
first glance.
Cut glass Is valued according to the depth
Of the cutting, so that for the finest kinds of
ware the glass must be made thick. The
thicker 1t is and the deeper the cutting the
more easily will breaks occur; therefore,
for common use such kinds as are thin and
only slightly cut are by far the best.
In buying pressed glass 1t is better 10 So
lect clear kind of good shape than an imi-
tatlon OF fine piece. The plain glass can
be kept clean more easily and will not break
so readily as the imitation.
Ii glass Is scratched by any hard substance.
such as sand, nails, etc, it will break very
easily where the mark is. For this reason
it is we'll to have small wooden tub to use
only for washing glass and silver. Extremes
in temperature frequently crack or break
glassware.
To wash table glass make strong suds,
having the water no hotter than you can
mt your hand in comfortably. Have an
etner pan of clear water OF about the same
tempeTature. Put a few pieces Of the glass
in tRe suds and wash each one carefully
with a soft cloth; then rinse all In the clear
water and drain for a few seconds, though
not long enough for the articles to cool or
dTv. Now wipe them with dry linen towel,
Tnbbipg rather hard, TO give the glass a
polish. Be especially particular not to let
the hands touch the glass at this stage.
Should the glass be cut, or imitation Of cut.
Il should be rubbed, while In the suds, with
a soft brush. IL this rule be followed daily
the glass will always be brilliant, repayine
one a hundred fold for the extra labor.
When 1t comes to washing mirrors and the
glass over pictures, wipe the frames and
glass with dry cloth, removing all the dust.
Now dip soft, clean cloth In hot water, and
after wringing 1t, pour upon It tablespoon
full Of alcohol. Wipe the glass with this
cloth and rub with dry piece until the sur
face shows polish and Is free from lint
By adopting this rule, the glass will be made
clean and bright, and wooden or gilt frames
will not be damaged, as they often are when
soap and water are used The Housawifo

May Russell. after two or three winters Of

her cousins In Blankville. She was not q
years old-and was pretty. sweet-tempered,
vivacious girl. Her friends soon saw that
DR.. Holmes, the physician of the village,

to her highest nature, and in whom she
could find her own better self.
DR.. Holmes was an honorable man of creat
depth and tenderness of feeling, who hat
been faithful son and loyal friend, and who
would give his whole heart to his wife.
He is too good for May" said her cousin
Mrs. Russell. to her husband. "The girl be.
gan her firtations at school, when she wa:
10 years old. The Doctor has never before
wished to marry any woman. She is skilled
In the conduct Of sham love affairs"
"Phe fooling is real with her now," replied
Mr.. Russell.
DIR. Holmes was grave, quiet man: The
step he was going to take was for liiei ne
surely he could make no mistake In taxing
this apparently innocent, artless, sweet na-
tured girl into his heart and home forever
At last he resolved to hesitate no longer.
and one evening went to the house deter
mined to ask her to be his wife. A young
girl, one Of Mays companions, was In the
room with her. and both were looking anus,
edly at a large card. on which were fastened
six locks of hair, each labelled with name
and date.
"What have you there" asked Dr.
Holmes.

"Thev are locks Of the hair hair Of men who

afterward left the reom. Then he said
"Are YOU serious? Do you mean that these
men have been so much interested In you
and have professed such regard for you as to
give you locks Of their hair, possibly at your
sst?"
