How to Mark Table Linen and to Remove

How to Mark Table Linen and to Remove
Coffee, Tea and Fruit Stains from 1t.
The marking of table linen affords great
scope to an inventive mind. Large mono
grams or initials, worked in blue red or in
plain satin stitch always look handsome.
Everything in household linen is hem
stitched and veined, veining being really
the same kind of work as the hemstitch,
only carried out in broader stripes, from
about one inch upward, and worked into
various patterns which make il look like
linen lace insertion. Toilet covers, tow
els, pillow slips, sheets, everything, in
short, is done in the same style Just now.
Perhaps the most effective way of marx-
ing the table cloths is to embroider the
initials or monograms in white real Scotch
linen thread. This monogram should be
worked in the corner of each napkin or the
table cloth in large script letters. The
letters are first marked out with pencil
and then raised roughly with thread
worked lengthwise. This will raise the
letters sufficiently so that the plain en-
broidery stitch known as lover and over,
can finish off the work nicely. They should
be ironed on the wrong side and the letters
will then wash without fraying out Ali

way, and especial pains should be taken TO
make the lettering on the napkins fine and
attractive.
If coffee has been spilled on your fine
damask you should rub the stain, before
the cloth has been Numbered. with mkt
ure made by dissolving the yolk of an egg
in little tepid water. Wash the mixture
of with clean warm water and the stain
will Danish with it.
Tea and other light stains may be re-
moved with sour butterrnilk well rubbed

The Church i'm Brazil Charged with Plotting
for the Restoration. of the Monarchy.
Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
RIO DE JANEIRo, Dec. 2-The antagonism
between state and church is becoming
acute. The government charges the clergy
with having engaged In Vaccinations for
the restoration of the empire, and the
clergy accuses the government of beng
hostile to the interests of the church. The
clergy have never liked the republic, and
have remained, with few exceptions. at-
tsched to the imperial house. Their
feelings of hostility 90 the re-
public have been intensified by irreg-
ularity in the payment of salaries.
When the official connection between the
church and state was declared abolished
the federal government engaged TO provide
for the payment of all salaries to the exist
ing functionaries of the hierarchy and TO
support the chairs in the seminaries for one
year, leaving to the provinces to ~ as much
more as they pleased in the interest of re-
ligion. Most of the provinces have chosen
to DO nothing, and where priests have died
affairs remain vacant for want of o sal
aired ministry. The Brazilians. unac-
customed TO voluntary contribution

to neglect religion, and the church
sees the people slipping away
from il. These circumstances have created
q bitter feeling, and tend to intensity the
attachment of the clergy for the Catholic
house of BraganZa which never neglected
the church. The government. on the other
hand, which has paid little attention To

DETROIT, Mich. Dec. 2.-The natural gas

the city suffered from partial as ply xiation
About O'Clock this morning the automatic

AMERICAN CONSUL INSULTED.
Our Representative in Madagascar Mistreated
Because He Refuses to Recognize Frenchmen.

CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Thomas Wilkinson,
an English merchant in Madagascar, said
in an interview here to-day that the
United States consul in that island has
been repeatedly insulted by French off,
cials who claim that their government has
q protectOrate over the country. The
American consul is Mr.. Miller. a colored
man. formerly resident of Kansas. Con-
sui Miller deals directly with the Queen of
Madagascar and does not recognize the
existance of the alleged protectorate. The
matter has not heretofore become public,
MIR. Wilkinson says. because two Ameri-
can firms having virtual
commercial monopoly in the island seek to
prevent general attention being directed to
the affairs of Madagascar. one object being
to discourage Americans or others from GO
ing there. Accurate knowledge of gold
fields on the island. which Mr.. Wilkinson
claims to know Will prove among the great
est in the world, is said to have been thus
suppressed. The French protectorate, he
says, is upheld by Germany and England in
exchange for French recognition of Ger
many In Africa and of the English claims
to Zanzibar. Mr.. Walker was a forty
miner" in California. and is one of the fam
ous few survivors of the American tilibus-
terIng expedition to Central America, led
by General Walker.

CUTTING LOOSE FROM BRITAIN.

West Indian Colonies Want Reciprocity Re.
gardless of the Mother Country's Wishes.
Special 10 the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-The British West
Indies are the latest members of Great
Britain's flock of colonies to wish to break
away from the restraints of the mother
country and secure closer relations with
the United States. The British authorities
have been using every effort to prevent
consummation of reciprocity arrangements
between the United States and the British
islands to the south of this country, but
the West Indian authorities have gone
ahead with their negotiations, in spite or
the mother country's objections. A few
weeks ago Sir Julian Pauncefote voiced
the desires of his country by filing with
the State Department an elaborate letter
setting forth 'scven good reasons" as he
called them. why the islands In the
British West Indies should not ex-
tend their trade relations with the
United States. Mr.. Blaine took the seven
good reasons and turned them over 10
Gen. John w. Foster, who has spent good
share of his life in the West Indian col
onies. Sir Johns seven good reasons"
been in the West Indian colonies, but Gen.
Fosters reply was based on long expe-
riences. AS the result, Mr.. Foster COM
pletely demolished the "seven good rea-
sons" leading diplomatic. who has seen
the correspondence, says, with more force
than elegance: Mr.. Fosters reply to Sir
Julian does not leave piece of Sir Julian's
hide of the size of square inch"
Failing to have the State Depart
ment give up their efforts toward
reciprocity, efforts were directed TO
the colonial authorities themselves
to cut off negotiations. but the
colonists are apparently as independent In
sentiment as the people of Newfoundland.
Yesterday two of the leading men of the
British West Indies arrived here for the
purpose of taking up reciprocity negotia-
tons. These were w. X. Chandler. men,
ber of the Legislative Council. and +. L.
Grannum, of Barbadoes They paid their
respects to Sir Julian and requested that
he present them at the State Department:
He turned them over to his secretary. and
a conference with General Foster resulted.
SIR Julian's seven good reasons" appear to
have cut no figure in the conference.

MADE A BIG HAUL.
Loss TO the Adams Express Company BY the
GIendile Robbery May Reach $4,000.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 2.-The Adams Ex-
press Company, it is now stated, Will lose
at least s75, 600 by the robbery of the Frisco
night express car near Glendale. Monday
night. by six masked men. The bold hold
up is rapidly developing into a criminal
sensation of the first order. The safe of the
express company was completely rifled.
and although Yesterday superintendent
Damsel placed the loss in the neighborhood
of S20, 600. it is now known that the safe
contained far more than that amount.
Superintendent Damsel refuses to deny OF
confirm the story that the total loss reach
es SIS, 600. but admits that it exceeds the
amount he first gave out as the cOmpany's
loss. With the booty now known to have
been secured by the robbers, reaching up
towards S1O0O0O. the unsatisfactory fact Ia
also developing that the daring band of six
men seems TO have gotten away, as yester-
day work by detectives of the Adams Ex-
press people and the Frisco road failed to
discover any trace OF them. The only
positive Development is that the robbery
was skillfully planned, cody executed and
that the robbers had evidently laid ont
some plan of escape by which they speedily
and surely fed from the scene of their great
haul.
Manager Damsel acknowledged tonight
to O reporter that the amount stolen was at
least S75.0O0. 1t will he several days, how
ever. before the exact amount stolen can
be determined. The robbers took the ex-
press way-bills with then and before the
company can tell what money pa ckages are
missing reports will have to be received
from the various shipping points of the
company all over the country.
Facts in regard to the express robbery
which came to light only to-day make it
appear that the robbers were evidently in
formed as to the value of the contents of
the express safe before the train left the
st. Louis station. The through
train to San Francisco which car
ries the hulk of the money to the
coast is the one which robbers gen.
orally informed on the subject would
naturally select rather than the slow train
which was robbed. Another peculiar in
cdent in connection with the robbery is
that the express messenger was in posses
sion of key which unlocked the through
press safe. The Frisco is the only road
running west that has not provided its
express cars with stationary safes which
have special combination locks and are
opened only at the termni of the read, the
messenger having key to them ana
having no occasion to open them. These
facts were probably we'll known to the
robbers who selected the Frisco of all
other roads ON which to work their scheme,
