Ammonia for Hair Brushes.

The best way in which to clean hair
brushes is with spirits of ammonia, as its
effect is immediate. No rubbing is re-
quired and cold water can be used just as
successfully as warm. Take teaspoonful
of ammonia in quart of water; dip the
hair part of the brush without wetting the
ivory, and in moment the grease is re-
moved; then rinse in cold water; shake
well and dry in the air, but not in the sun.
Soda and soap soften the bristle and in
variably turn ivory yellow.-Popular Sci

ALL ARE WEATHER WISE
HERE is A COMPENDIUM OF MEMS
COLLECTIVE WISDOM.

Help of Administrations Signs Deter

Nearly everybody processes to be wealth
er wise. Everybody tells everybody else
what sort of weather may be expected, and
in nine cases out of ten everybody is wrong.
What is commonly called the power of
foretelling the weather is only the result of
repeated observations on the comparative
frequency with which certain effects ac-
company one another. Hence it is that
agriculturists, shepherds, gardeners,
coachmen-and above all, fishermen and
sailors-are so much more weatherwise
than the mechanic or citizen, and from
the constant necessity they are under of
studying the minutest indications they ar
rive at the power of foretelling future
changes with n certainty far exceeding the
landsmanis comprehension.
In the absence of that tact, that quick
prescience of atmospheric changes pos

similar discipline, the common observer

found in barometrical changes. The clouds
furnish data, and animals evidence every
change; and he who sets to work TO study
these things gains something more than
weather wisdom-he acquires the habit OF
observation.
A sudden fall of the barometer in the
spring or autumn indicates wind; in the
summer, during very hot weather, a thun-
der storm may be expected; in winter
sudden fall after frost of some continuance
indicates a change of wind, with thaw and
rain. But in a continued frost rise OF the
mercury indicates approaching snow.

would make the legislature stand on joint bal

HEARING THE NEWS.
Crowds That Assembled in Different
Places Last Night.
CHEERING FOR EVERYBODY.
Both Parties Were Literally Represented
and All Carried Their Voices with Them
Some of the Amusing Incidents That Oc-
Cured During the Night.

1t was typical election time on the streets
last night The crowds began to collect early
and they stayed late. From O'Clock. and In
some places o'clock. there were knots of men
to be seen on the asphalt, and these knots grew
to Be crowds and the crowds to be well-behaved
mobs, and it was a couple of hours after mid
night before all had gone home. 1t may be
doubted if they did all so home even then, but
a. any rate they ceased TO shout at questionable
figures from unimportant districts Of certain
states. that delightful privilege and distinct
prerogative of the man looking at a moon-shaped
spot Of light on an elevated bit of cloth.
1t was hard TO tell the complexion Of the
crowds, politically. The main section of the
crowd assembled in the great space at the

corner of 10th street and Pennsylvania avenue,
where Ben Franklin beamed good naturedly
down at a sea of heads that stretched from
curb to curb. with an intermission only for the
passage Of cars. and from the extreme edge OF
the vantage ground eastward to 18th street.
Ii was estimated that there were at least 10. 900
people in this space at o'clock. and this figure
was main tanned for a couple of hours. There
was no lack of news in the crowd for the
extra STAR. issued about O'Clock, and thou
sands of copies of which sold. gave all
the information that could be gathered from
every quarter of the land up to that hour. The
Indications IN these dispatches were very gem
orally sustained by the reports received later
in the night
The theaters furnished their share of the
crowd, and after they were out the streets
picked MP little and the bulletins were per-
haps more eagerly surrounded than ever. The
folks who came olt of them asked on all sides
all sorts of questions, IN order to catch up with
the times, and soon fell into the habit of shout
ing just as merrily as though they had been out
there all the evening.
THE Central DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
At the headquarters of the central demo-
cratic committee, just west of the National
Theater. there was perhaps the most pronounced
political feeling to be observed of all the spots
where news-seeking people conSregated. There
q large crowd collected early IN the evening"
both inside and outside. and the most vigorous
tendencies toward democratic sympathy were
to be observed at times. A small canvas
showed the returns to the crowd in the street,
and upstairs the dispatches were read ont to
the friends Of the committee by lusty-voiced
individual, who was made very tired by the
strong republican tone that seemed to prevail
early in the evening.
The earlier dispatches from New York had

The republicans gained members VI the legis-
lature in Hancock. Paulding, Washington,
Noble. Perry and possibly other counties. The
counties named are sufficient TO give the re-
publicans the lower branch of the legislature
and the senate will have q republican majority
Of not less than four.

turing cities. but the country districts showed

Kid Robinson Has Escaped.

Inspector Swindells received information
from Philadelphia yesterday that James, alias
kid Robinson, the alleged crook who was
arrested in this city week ago, had escaped.
Robinson, as heretofore published, was arrested
in company with the three men held here for
trial Monday on charge of picking Charlie
Dietz's pocket.
Detectives Crawford of Philadelphia and
Morris Of Jersey City left here with the pris-
oner Monday afternoon at 3:l5 and about six
hours later the prisoner escaped from the train
near Wilmington.
1t appears from a statement in the Phila-
delphia papers that the train stopped at vii.
mington, and as it slowly pulled out the pris-
oner asked permission to go to the toilet room.
He had beep chatting pleasantly with Detective
Crawford. and the latter granted his REQUEST
''kid'' threw his overcoat over the seat, thanked
the officer for his Kindness and started for the
end OF the car.
The detective remained in his seat reading .
paper until he thought Robinson had been gone
too long, and when be reached the toilet room
an open window explained where the fugitive
had gone,
Since the organization Of the present de-
tective corps In this city NO prisoner has
escaped from any Of its members.
