No Clue Yet Found as to Who Did the
''Jack the Ripper Act.
NEW YORK, April 25.-No hopeful
clue to the murderer of Carrie Brown in
the East River Hotel has yet been found.
Several persons are under arrest. One
Of them, named Mary Lopez, alleges
that she heard the prisoner, George
Francois, alias ''Frenchy," talking
to Carrie Brown Thursday and max
ing an engagement for the East River
Hotel.
1t is rumored that bloody trousers
have been. found in a Bowery lodging
house, supposed to have been LETT by a
man answering the description Of the
murderer. The autopsy shows that the
wounds on the woman were inflicted
while she was yet alive.
1t Was Not Carrie Brown.
NEW YORK, April %. The police this
afternoon made the startling discovery
that Carrie Brown, alias Shakespeare, 81
was alive and we'll. Who the dead wo-
man is cannot be learned, though it is
learned for two years past she has been

UOeS uOb IuuulRo III OppIoSSlou. All gov
ernments should act justly to all classes
of its citizens. This, of course, excludes
the granting of special favors. Now how
any man who believes in that doctrine -
intelligently believes it-can advocate
the loaning of money by the government,
to the agricultural population only, l
cannot comprehend! But the favor is
not equal, even to them. There is no
reason which justice can suggest why
the producer of any given crop should
have benefits which are denied to 9th
ers. All should be treated exactly alike
Does this wild scheme of loanins money
to those who raise cotton, corn ard
wheat, at loss to the government, seIye
the nds of justice? No man who values
his reputation can say so. Why Is not
the producer of peas, potatoes. melons
and other articles brought from the soil
equally entitled? The Republican gov
ernment should know no classes. Be-
cause the government has been so ad-
ministered as to violate this rule is no
reason why mal-administration should
continue. But then, only a small per cen
tage of the agriculturists wfo raise
cotton, corn or wheat can get the i'll an
tages. Many are obliged now and always
will be obliged to borrow money, or b Iy
supplies on credit to enable them to
carry on their farming operations. These
cannot make the deposits. Others have
been thrifty and do not need the money

A Few Out of Many Ways of Getting Rid
of Grease and Stains.
If the spot was made by paint and disfgures
cloak or gown, wet with benzine and rub with
a woolen CLOTH then wet and rub again.
If there Is a grease mark On your prettiest
frock, break an egg and touch the place
with a bit of the yolk delicately, then
lay piece of white linen over the fabric,
wet with boiling water and rub with the
hand; repeat with fresh water three or four
times. Take away the linen and rinse the
spot with cold water.
If you have dropped ink on white paper,
you can take it out with a camel's hair brush
dipped in a solution of oxalic acid.
If you have dropped ink on a white apron,
you should wash it with oxalic acid and then
with warm water.
If the ink is on the carpet, try javelle
water.
If it is q fruit stain that spoils the apron,
rub with yellow soap, put on wet starch and
hang in the sun several days.
If it is a case Of iron rust, dip in tartaric
acid and hang in the sun.
If tar has done the mischief, rub with spirits
of turpentine.
Finger marks yield most easily to javelle

Heat SO Intense That Moisture Instantly
Dries I'm the Sun.

Heat SO Intense That Moisture Instantly
Dries I'm the Sun.
san Francisco Chronicle
Day is about to break You can see in the
east glow of pink, and the crests of the
barren mountains are shmmering with new
born light. The sun is creeping up. With
what a shudder you watch the red rim as it
shows itself above the rugged hilly outline.
The air is cool, cool for the desert and its
oven-lke temperature, and it actually invites
repose. The pillows are saturated, aud the
boards of the wooden veranda are wetted
from perspiration. Calm as is ever the desert,
It is never so calm as before the sunrise. The
sun climbs upward, broad bands of yellow
scurry across the sands and brighten the
mournful sage brush and make delicate
patches of light and shade among the branches
of the mesquite. Suddenly the entire desert
is aglow with heat.
But the sun is toiling upward and the heat
is growing momentarily fiercer. The sloth
of sleep is thrown off and for few moments
the joints are stiff, the throat dry, and the
voice husky. You have not experienced rest
or refreshment. The night has been a hideous
one. You have been in continual bath, suf
fused with perspiration. You have jumped
from bed and paced the veranda; you have
gone on to the hot burning sand, but the heat
has driven you back to the house. Not a
sound can be heard.
AT : O'CLOCK the thermometer is clmDlng up
at steady jog and the air is still. You begin
to feel thirsty, but you refrain from drinking,
for you know that heat more terrific than you
can imagine has yet to be encountered. The
slightest exertion brings forth flood of pers-
piration, which in the hot atmosphere speedily
drys as If the soaking garment had been held
before flaming furnace. The skin is every
now and then parched and some exercise is
necessary to induce moisture. At IL O'Clock
the sun is in its glory. Dip blanket into q
pool of water, make it wringng wet and ex-
pose it the sun. In a few minutes 1t is hot
and dry, as if it had been kept in an oven.
The water that runs through pipe from
cistern is at the boiling point, and not even
an Indian could touch 1t with the palm of his
hand and not get scalded while iron that has
been left in the open air is soon red hot.
Now come the worst hours of the day. At
high noon the heat is fierce and the SUMS rays
so powerful that you would imagine they
would burn and scorch anything living. In
fact it does burn the skin, for no man who
lives here has anything but copper-colored
complexion, and this is solely due to the
action of the sun. After long residence the
skin is so thoroughly burned that it mover
loses its hue, and any one who has lived on
the desert will know man by his peculiar
copper color. Some of the Indians have this
coloring, especially the women. 1t Is most
singular and rather effective, giving one the
impression that the person has been amusing
himself or herself by daubing the face with
iodine.

DEATHS IN HOTELS.
A Suicide Fairly Drives the Ordinary

A Suicide Fairly Drives the Ordinary
Landlord Frantic.
Indianapolis Journal.
Even an ordinary death in hotel causes
landlord great distress, while suicide almost
drives him frantic. ''Do you know said
hotel clerk, ''what consequences follow
suicide? In the first place, the event is tele-
graphed all over the land, and every travelling
man sees it. Nothing on earth could ever in
duce one OF the travelling fraternity to lodge
in that particular room. So the first thing to
be done is to get rid of the old number of that
guest chamber The number is disposed of,
never to return, and new number is placed
on the door. The surroundings must be en-
tirely changed New paper must be put upon
the wall, new carpet upon the floor, new furn-
iture, new bedding, and then the domestics
are instructed never to mention the circum-
stance OF the death to any guest. suicide
always occasions an expense Of several hun
dred dollars to the hotel proprietor. and an
noying questions are asked of landlord and
clerks for months afterWardp

Our Treatment of the Spider.

Is it not enough that every bird that
flies, ruthlessly robs her nursery, devours
her babies and even snatches her own soft
body from the very sanctum of home; that
gauzy flies steal their greedy young into
her nursery to fatten upon her infants,
that TO monkeys, squirrels and lizards her
plump body is sweet morsel they never
resist; that frogs and toads snap her up
without ceremony; that centipedes seize her
in resistless grasp; that wasps paralyze
and bury her alive? Are not these enough,
without man joining the host of extermi-

we have to pay tax-small, it is true-in

Owls and hawks, while they destroy moles

Consumption of Coffee and Tea.

During the last ten years the annual con-
sumption of coffee per head has increased
two or three ounces, This is due in part to
the fact that the people are better off and
can afford to spend more on Injuries. But
the average quantity of tea drunk has not
increased in the last decade. So it is evil
dent that the United States is becoming
more and more addicted to the Arabian or
Brazilian berry.
In 1870 the consumption per head was
about seven ounces of tea and nineteen
ounces Of coffee. Ten years later it WAS
about nine ounces of tea and forty-four of
coffee. In 1S40 it was nearly fifteen ounces
of tea and five pounds of coffee. Sixty
years ago the value of the tea imported
was about half to third of that of the
coffee 1t is now about sixth. The tea
has been losing ground, comparatively
speaking all the time-Chicago Tribune.

Tho DOG Days.

According to one of many explanations,
we owe the notion of the dog days to the
old Romans These days embrace the
period between the Sd of July and the llth
of August Falling thus in the height OF
summer. it need not have surprised the
Romans that July must naturally be 4
very hot month. But this explanation was
too simple So they made out that the heat
and the diseases that it gave rise to were
due to the fact that the star Canicula (the
Little Dog rose and set at the same time
as the sun This was an absurd supersti
ton, for the Little Dog does not rise with
the sun now till the end of August, and
yet July remains as hot as ever it was. But
popular decisions die hard, and the dog
days" will be a favorite phrase for ages
