ENJOYING CHRISTMAS.
Yesterday EnIivened by Two Serious
Stabbing ARRAYS.
One at the GIeeman House, and the
Other in the Kitchen of the
River steamer Modoc.

There was considerable bad blood
spilled yesterday, and as a result two
men were incapacitated from enjoying
the customary Christmas spree.

ployed as a waiter for some time at
Hogan's Workingmen's Restaurant, had
a difficulty with a man whose name
could not be ascertained) at the Gleeman
House at an early hour yesterday morn

Wilson received a dozen stabs about
the head and breast with d small knife
but 1t is thought his injuries are not
fatal.
1t is said the trouble was the result of
both men being attentive to the same
woman, but no definite particulars could

any explanation, and was very weak

stabblng TO the police station bore trail

the knife, which was evidently one with
a small blade.
The landlady at the hotel could give no
cIeW TO the man who did the cutting.
She said he had roomed there for several
days, but she did not know ms name.
Wilson either did not know it, or Tor
some reason would not give 1t to the
oHlcefs, and up to last night the man who
dlG the cutting had not been discovered.
Wilson's wounds were dressed at the
Recelylng Hospital, ana yesterday morn

serious that he was taken to the County
Hospital.

any work; his temperament is slug.

partment OF the government = NOT

quence the country is left entirely to

CARE OF SOFT wOOLs,

The plain sheer yelling and other
soft woods that run the printed mus
Inns and lawns so closely in populari-
'ty keep clean quite as long as their
cotton rivals, but when the time comes
for their frcshcning, tho cleaners, as
a rule. require fortnight or SO for
the process, and this, very frequently,
at n time when the weather is the
hottest and those very gowns tho
most needed. A recipe given by II
Frenohwoman has just been heard of
-one that a deft maid can easily
manage at home. AS the writer knows
nothing at all of the results of this
"Frcnch process" it would be better
to try it on some wool gown whose
pristine glory is over, and not on u
new dress that has become slightly
soilcd. This is the recipe: "Rice is
used instead of soap. Boil one pound
of rice in five quarts of water. Set it
to cool, and when lukewarm, immerse
the fabric, rubbing in the rice as the
d, laundress does her soap. Then pour
the water off, leaving the rico at the
bottom. Rub the goods through this
thicker rice water, then rinse in one
nearly clear of the rico solution"
Plain water Gems to take no part in
the process, but as much water may
be used as is found necdful, provided
the first proportion of pound of rice
to five quarts of water is carefully
observed.-[New York Post.

FOR WOMEN WHO WEAR WATCHES.
If you are determined to wear your
watch like the rest of womankind,
thrust into your bodice, it is good
idea to have scwcd securely to the
lining of each waist one of the patent
fastening hooks which have to be
pressed in order to pass over anything.
Clasp this over the big link at the end
of your Chain and you are compnra-
lively safe. A strong handed thief
may break the chain, but cannot cap
ture the watch.
Another excellent plan would be to
have a small pocket sewcd TO the lin
ing of each bodice at the place where
it is natural to slip the watch. This
pocket could open towards the front
aud when the watch was thrust in,
could fasten 1t by means of one of
the patent loops TO an eyelct crocheted
