Very large monograms are being worked
on both blankets, chair backs, carriage
rugs and bed quilts, varying from seven
inches to fourteen inches. They are
always slightly raised, and either in cloth
with II narrow silk cord edge. or in thick
silk worked on cloth. Some people who
like the appearance, but not the trouble
of working these monograins, get them
made and sew them on the material, edg-
ing them with a fancy stitching.

Photograph frames are frequently made
of cardboard covered with old brocade or

ment.
Tbs best way to emove a stain of grease
from paper is to apply Fuller's earth,
pounded fine and pressed in a mass over
the spot. Lay a brown paper over it and
press a lot iron over all. This will cause
the dry powder to adhers to the paper and
will also help to draw out the grease. Let
the paste remain on the wall for at least
forGy-eight hours. Then brush il off, and
il the grease has not entirely disappeared,
repeat the process.

Lots of Smoke. Little Fire.

A fire, which caused quite some excite
ment but little damage, broke out in the
tenement. No. So Jefferson street. Hobo
ken. last night at about half-past ten.
The flames. which started in a cellar
woodshed, filled the house with smoke,
and all INIT the residents on the top floor
escaped by the stairs. The dense smoke
prevented the entrance OF the firemen and
the extension ladder was shot up under
the wires to the windows in a second and
the imperilled family removed to the
street.
There is no theory as to the origin of
the fire. 1ne building is owned by the

Alderman McEntee's New Ordinance
President Aliens Com
mitteeS.

The effort to elect ex-County Superin'
tendent Kelly Building Inspector at last
nights meeting Of the Board of Alder
man again proved unsuccessful. The city
is still without a Building Inspector. The
absence of the Democratic anti-Kelly trio
Connolly, Norton and McCoobery-w was
noticed. 1t was rumored around the City
Hall yester day that the necessary seven
votes had been secured. The question as
to whether the one vote that the half
dozen Kellyites had been looking for for
several weeks was to come from the anti
Kelly trio or would prove to be "a leg" on
the Republican q%uadruped drew a good
sized lobby to watch the proceedings.
The absence of the anti-Kelly trio settled
one section of the question.
Some of the Kellyities tried to enforce
an adjournment, but the question of
electing II building inspector finally came
up and the vote showed that there had
thus far been no increase in the Kelly
family. The four Republican members
voted solidly for ex-Alderm9n Macarthur.

HOW TO CLEAR CURTAINS.
1t you are going TO put your curtains
away for the summer IL is generally ad-
vised not TO starch them. In cleaning
them remember that, like fine flannel.
they will not bear rubbing. They neec
careful and gentle treatment. For W.
pairs of curtains half fill IA large tub with
warm water. and add TO it half Il pound Of
soap which has been shaved fine and dis
solved in two quarts of boiling water;
add also about Il gill Of household am
monia. Let the curtains soak in this
over night. 1n the morning sop
them veil in the water, and squeeze it
al out. but do not wiring the curtains.
Put them into another tuO of water pre-
pared with soap and ammonia as on the
night before. sop them gently in this
water, and then, after squeezing out the
water, put them in a tub of clean warm
water. Continue to rinse them in fresh
tubs of water until there is no trace OF
soap: mex rinse them in water contain

After pressing out all the water posi-.
Bile, spread the curtains over the sheets

them on the clothesline. When they are
dry dip them in hot thick starch, and
fasten them in the frame that comes for

THAT weak, school No. 90 Report

Both Mayor Wanser and his secretary, Mr..
Weart, think the Street and Water Boards de-
Tense OF its attitude in the No. 25 school house
job published yesterday, is a weak docum ent -
Evening Journal
There is nothing surprising about
His Honor and Mr.. Weart saying the
answer to their charges is weak. What
else would they say
But does the Journal think it weak2
Ii it does, why did it not publish it9
1t made good lively reading anyway,
and if it was a weak reply to Wan
ser's charges, it ought to have been
good politics to print it. A weak de-
Tense is worse than no defence, you
know.
The trouble is the Journal thought
it strong, SO very strong that it did
not dare to print it. The Journal
thought it utterly and completely de-
molished Colonel Wanser and his
charges, and turned them into a bit
ter disappointment to the Colonies
followers and a source of merriment
to the public at large.
OF course an honest paper would
print both sides of the controversy.
The JERSEY City News, for in
stance, prints all Mayor Wanser's doc
uments, no matter whom they hit.
We shall continue to do so, as a mat
ter of public information and fair
play. The Journals way of keeping
the public informed is to give only
what favors it's own ideas and inter
ests. When you find a public docu-
ment carefully left out OF the Journal,
be very sure it is because it is ruinous
to some person or thing the Journal
advocates.
The only proof shrewd observers
will ask that the Street and Water
Boards attitude on the School No.

WEDNESDAY. MAY rs, 1892.
This paper is democratic in principles
and is Independent In Its vieWS ON all
local questions.
The Democratic Convention.

The Democratic convention
The indications at this time of writ.
ing are that the gathering of the
Democratic leaders and representa-
tives at Trenton today will show a
state of perfect harmony and good
feeling in the party at large in this
State. One or two purely local differ
ences may exist among ambitious
young men; but broadly speaking, all
interests and all grades are in unison
for a grand aggressive campaign and
a sweeping Democratic victory.
AS the slate is made up, Senator
Mcpherson and Governor Albeit will
both represent the State at Chicago
as Delegates-at-Large, while neither
will be the nominal chief of the dele
cation, this honor being conceded to
James Smith, Jr., of Newark. By
this arrangement all jealousy, all
possibility of clash or contention, all
show of division or even rivalry is
avoided. The great leading Demo-
Gratis of the State appear as col
leagues and allies on an equal plane.
The probabilities are that a strong
Cleveland sentiment will prevail
among the delegates. 1t is doubtful
whether the Convention will instruct
the delegates, or, rather, it is highly
improbable that they will do so; but
all the same they will go to Chicago
to cast a solid vote for the best and
purest OF living American statesmen.
Let us hope their advocacy will be
successful. withlC Cleveland for Stand
ard Bearer, NsB Jersey will double
her old time Democratic plurality.
The name d Groyps cleveland is a
tower of strength In this State. No
assaults the Republican party can
make will suffice to shake if So far
from needing support from the State
nominations, it will help to carry the
State ticket through to victory.
Only one stronger ticket could be
made up, SO far as New Jersey is con
cerned, and that would be one on
which the name Of Leon Albeit ap-
peared. That would involve the nom
ination of a Westerner for President,
and it is to be feared that what the
combination would gain here, ii
might lose in other States. Still,
Albeit is strong in New York and
Connecticut, and next to a ticket
headed by the Democratic ex-Presi-
dent, we believe one made up of
Campbell and Albeit would have the
best chance of winning.
We congratulate the party on the
auspices of success which attend to-
days gathering, and we trust that the
same wisdom and patriotism will pre-
side over it's sessions that have so often
guided the party to victory in the
past.

DETECTIVE KlVLON SURPRISED.
His twenty-five Years of Faithful Ser
vice Remembered by riends.

His twenty-five Years of Faithful Ser
vice Remembered by Friends.
Detective Kivlon passed his twenty-five
year mark in police service yesterday. In
this long period of faithful work he has
never had a charge preferred against him.
and his record for courage and fidelity to
duty is perfect. His friends in the Corle
Association, aud many of his friends who
do not belong to the Coyles. thought that
the anniversary of his service ought to be
fittingly marked.
So Sergeant +. Cattery aud Mr.. Deedy
were made q committee to purchase Il
watch which they did, and Edward
Beasy of the Coyle Association engraved
Kivlon's initials on the case and put Il
suitable inscription inside. The time
piece is u large gold one with an Elgin
movement. A heavy large link gold
chain with a small club for a charm is
attached to 1t.
Last night kivlon was asked to so to
the Coyle's rooms, where he was hustled
to the platform aud Mayor Stanton faced
him, and with one of his characteIisticai-
ly graceful and bright speeches presented
him with the watch on behalf of the
donors. Nj. kivlon madea as good an ap-
pearance as his emotion would permit
and said a few words in reply, out he
was evidently overcome and could only
look his appreciation. A long programme
of songs and recitations followed the
presentation.

omeimpromptu tableaux and scenes
illustrating poems and the titles of
books. A capital book was the "Por-
trait ola Lady" in which a pretty
girls face looked out of a picture
frame. Looking Backward" was
enacted by row of young girls each
of whom had her head turned over
her shoulder. GA Collection of
Hymns" was punningly enacted by a
row of young men standing still be-
fore a wondering audience. "Too-
long and Too-loose" was dress
worn by young girl in representa-
tion of two cities in France Many
other titles and suggestive puns may
be enacted without trouble of prepa-
ration.
dash of humor may be given the
home entertainment in the holidays
by the presentation of four condi-
tlons OF woman. The coquette, the
wife, the widow and the old maid
are presented in a row. The coquctte
says in fiirtatious manner from he

and the old maid declares with much
spirit, Gould have had him; didn't
