A few days ago the writer saw boy in a
carpet warehouse accidentally drop a brush he
was using, and with the usual depravity of in
animate things, the brush rolled along the face
of a fine carpet. and left thereon a black and
lengthy trail. The boy, without showing the
least discomposure, went to cupboard near by
and taking from it cloth and bottle contain
ing an almost colorless liquid. poured some of
it on the cloth and then rubbed the latter lightly
over the black mark, which disappeared almost
Immediately. The head of the firm happened
TO come along just then, and said That stuff
has been worth many hundred dollars to me,
and every dealer in carpets ought to have it. 1t
removes instantaneously all stains caused by
lamp black, grease, oil, &c., and never causes
the slightest injury to the colorings or fabric.
You know that Moquettes and other light color
ed carpets. when standing on shelves are apt to
have their selvage edges soiled. Some dealers
use fuller's earth to remedy this, but it often
fails. and the stuff in that bottle never does. If
you want the recipe, I'll give it to you. 1t has
served my time. and have no motive in keep
ing it secret. 1t is mixture of equal parts of
chloroform and ether The Carpet and Up

There was grand festival at the Center on
Saturday evening. held for the benefit of the
Reformed Church with good success financially.
The report is that Jrohe's and N. Upson's chick
ems were all stolen.
Local Option is the topic of the day. Lake
township had vote last Saturday, and it went
wet, 1t seems foolish to spend money to have
vote in a township like Sufield, Randolph or
Lake. The more fuss you make about such
things the worse it will grow, Always let good
enough alone. Man is stubborn animal, the
more you try to drive him to the wall the uglier
he will get, He must mend his own ways or
else he will never haye them mended.

Mr.. Miller has national reputation as lee

Wenotice that the Prohibitionists have placed
Pres't E. v. collars on their ticket as candidate

venture the assertion that other party will

dict that the people will vote. for that Office as
well judicial offices. according to party afil-

FIFE, The EVANGELIST, ASSAULTED.
An Excdngly Disgraceful Altar at
GrEsbcro, y. &.

GREENSBORO, \. c., June 81
Greensboro never saw nor heard CT
such a day Of excitement as reIgned
lere to day. BusiEess Was almost sus-
penled for while, and the whole city
is highly indignant. Several nightsago
Judge David Schenck, late of the Supe-
riur Court bench, a historian Of note
and President o. the Guiiford Battle
Grounds Association, gave moonlight
party at the Guil!ord battle ground, IN
which Fife, the renowned drummer
evangelist. claims a riotouS german
lasted al! night. Mr.. Fife in his meet
ing here, denounced it as disgrace to
the soldiers who died on the field, AMI
as a deSecraJ!on Of sacred soil, He
also reelected on the name OF Judge
Schenck ard family, and declared
that no true Christian would engage in
such.
Yesterday afternoon Judge Schenck
and his three sons called at the room OF
Mr.. Fife in the McAdoo House and de-
manded an apology. Mr.. Fife replied;
Look here, you have struck the wrong
fellow" They then left, without vlo-
lence, but were present at the night
meeting, when the matter was casually
referred to by Mr.. Fife.
At the close OF the meeting 1t was
whispered that Mr.. Fife would be at
tackled. whereupon Mr. Fife said:
Friends, hold on minute; under
stand that will be attacked" Many
voices replied: They will have to at
tack US, too" and Mr.. Billhorn added,
"And Jesus, too" a hundred men es-
corted Mr.. Fife to his room, and as
soon as they left him the three young
Schencks came up and attacked Mr.:
Fife, in the presence of his wife, and
threatened to kill him. Mrs. Fife ex-
claimed: "You are not going to as
sault man of God in the presence OF
ladies?" They replied: No. not in
the presence of ladies, and retired. Mr.
Fife followed them into the Street. and,
approaching the buggy in which Judge
Schenck was sitting, offered him his
hand, to which the judge responded: Il
won't shake hands with any such a
damned scoundrel." Mr.. Fife was then
struck by DR.. Schenck with a loaded
cane and staggered. DR.. Schenck then
fired pistol, the bullet whistling un-
comfortably close to the evangelist's
head.
Mr.. Fife was taken to drug store
for treatment, and, on returning, on the
arm of Mr.. McAdoo, exclaimed: "All
for Jesus, bless God" Several thous-
and indignant citizens assembled at
the court house this morning, and after
making several speeches, committee,
consisting of Judge John a. Gilmer
and others reported resolutions strong
ly condemning Judge Schenck. Sever,
al hundred la4ies met in the gospel
tent and declared their intention
to stand by the evangelist. Judge
Schenck and sons have been arrested.
Intense excitement prevails, and there
is fear of further trouble.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, July 1.-The

here to-day with $50 leading politicians
in attendance. The ostensible object
of the gathering is to organize club
movement of the State and discuss
campaign plans. 1t has been persist
emily asserted in many quarters, how
ever, that the conference has the ute
rior object of ending the dominance OF
HIP. Kelly and Michael Doran in Dem
ocratic councils and of discussing
fusion with the Alliance party on the
electoral ticket in 1892. Some color is
lent to the first of these theories by the
absence of Kelly and Doran, and the
presence of many of their ayowed enc
mics and the latter tn cory by presence
of some Alliance leaders. 1t has even
been hlnted that the gathering would
be anti Cleveland and pro- Hill in sentl-
ment. Organization was effected with
Mayor Z. ". Durant Of Saltwater as
chairman and c. a. Moody Of Sauk

A Human NIonstrositY.

New YORK, June 29.-The medical
and surgical staff at Bellevue Hospital
are perplexed over the case OF George
Lippert, the man who has three perfect
legs. At the examination it was found
that Lippert's heart was fully six times
the normal SiXe.
The doctors say they cannot under
stand how it is possible for human BE-
ing to exist With such an unnaturally
large heart. If his heart extended all
through his breast, where could his
lungs and other organs be? 1t was
agreed that no satisfactory explanation
could b. arrived at. Lippert is as
healthy as any one, except that he has
the rheumatism. In Lippert's case all
the lin.bs are good, and it is impossible
to pick out what might beknown as the
extra one. Lippert at the age of TWEEN
ty-one had the use of all three limbs.
Just as an animal takes alternate steps
with its four legs so did Lippert walk
with his three.
