OF obtaining money in Boston by means OF

celebrated Ere CHI novelist of that name.
A rather snub nose and very thick lips give
his face considerable resemblance to the
portraits of The great novelist, who is sup

The charge is that while teaching the art Of
fencing and languages in Boston he forged
the signature of the John P. Lowell Arms

cashed and fed. Traced to Chicago. he
tipped Detective Bailey into q big trunk,

How to Wash SILK Stockings,

The proper washing of silk stockings
is a matter OF moment, now that
they are commonly worn. White silk
stockings should be washed in q
strong lather made of CASTLE soap, or
any good white soap and warm wa
ter. Lay the stockings in the lather
and rub the soiled spots gently with
the hands. Then rinse them very
thoroughly to free them from all soap.
Wiring them dry in a cloth, turning
them wrong side out. When they are
almost dry stretch and rub them in
the hands to make them smooth and
bring them in shape, but do not iron
them.
Black stockings may be washed in
the same way, but should be kept
separate from white stockings in the
washing. Some people go SO far as to
rub their stockings when they are dry
with a cold iron. always making the
passes one way to make them smooth
and glossy. It is a great mistake,
however, to iron any stockings. 1t
always makes an ugly crease down
the centre, and does not add to the
appearance. 1t is far better to rub
them into shape, fold them up and al
low them to fit themselvesto the limb.

old soldier of Brackets battalion, LETT
home yesterday morning. He was last
seen walking west oward the cemetery.
Not being sten a!terward. to-day fears were
entertained that he had killed himself.
Search was about to be instituted when his
remai,.s were discovered, mangled almost
indistinguishable, on the railroad q mile
south OF this city, he having been run over
by a train. He was very despoi.dent over
the departure of his niece. whom he had
raised, and by financial difficulties. the lat
tel causing him much encouragement ior
the last two years. To friends he had
spoken of his approaching death. 1t is be-
lieved that his trouble here was too great

old II was long connected with Blue
Earth city papers and the Standard here.

ing in the Borden case will be resumed to.
morrow. The defense has been actively
engaged in learning something regarding
Bridget Sullivan's career. The purpose Of
the inquiry is to learn how reliable her
evidence is. also to learn If she would be-
come so provoked that she would quarrel
seriously with Mr.. and rs. Borden. 1t is
believed here that her character is above
%reproach.' A search into her career while
in this city show VS. that Miss Sullivan Is a
very truthful oma Her former employ
ers spoke very kindly of her. Her mistaken
testimony has done u to establish the
strength of the case of the government. It
seems to be generally allowed that the gov
eminent has a strong case. Enough evil
dences has been introduced to warrant
binding over Miss L zzie to the next grand
jury. The hearing has by no means ended,
however. as Prof. Wood is yet to be heard
on the character OF the blood spots on the
clothing, ak and other articles taken from
the Borden house. The defense now
proposes to call q witness who will show
that much Of DR.. Dolan's testimony is I'M
reliable. Ex-Medical Examiner Dwelly
has been a close listener to the trial, and
it is understood that he will be called
as an expert on the part of the
defense TO rebut much Of the testimony
that has been given. The defense
claims that there are large holes in the gov
eminent experts testimony. and some UNI
looked-for things are expected. Miss Lizzie
received her usual visitors to-day. She
read some Bible passages selected by Rev.
MI. Buck. The day was long to her be-

A Troublesome Law.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3O.-The difficulties
encountered by the department officers in
constituting the provisions Of the eight-hour
law continue. In response to a request
from the war department Attorney General
Miller has rendered q decision stating that
in view of the previous legislation on this
subject and the evils sought to be remedied
he was constrained 10 declare the law in re-
gard to laborers and mechanics in the en-
ploy OF the government in the District OF
Columbia as regards public works applies
to such persons as are in the employ OF con-
tractors and subcontractors. As to special
cases, he says they depend on matters of
fact not stated and are not within his cog
niZance.
Several days ago Gen. Grant, acting sec.
rotary of war, submitted to Attorney Gen.
eral Miller for his opinion the question as
10 whether the eight-hour law applied to
the work on the Mississippi levees. The
attorney general, in replying to the re-
quest, says in q letter to Gen. Grant that
over and over again it has been held by his
predecessors as we'll as by himself, that it is
not permis ibIe Tor the attorney general 10
give an opinion except upon q case actually
arising in the administration of a depart
ment.

It is not often that apparently USE

Compared with the orthodox scissors,

MILES OF CORKSCREWs,

Something About These Ingenious
Instruments and Their Manufac-
ture. .
There are miles of corkscrews made
every year in this country and the
largest manufactures in the world
are in Newark, N. J. according to a
Chicago Times correspondent.
There are about forty varieties on
the market.
One would hardly think that more
than three or four varieties were re-
quired, but there are about forty on
the market. They include the ring
handle, steel wire screws for demijohns
and large bottles: the double ring,
handily encased pocket screw, the
folding screw and the broad.wire
handle screw.
Some time ago an icepick and a
cigar box opener was made with a screw
concealed in the steel tube handle.
The tube can be slipped off and the
ice pick forms the handle of the screw.
Another novelty has a brush in the
handle, so that the colored waiter is
not obliged to run his fnCers around
the inside of the neck of the bottle to
remove the particles of cork dust.
For champagne bottles a screw is
made with a blade in one end of the
handle to cut the Irvine around the
cork.
Another handle contains both the
knife and brush on the handle. The

The Trace Of Steamships On The
Sea Floor.

It isa singular and perhaps some
what humiliatingfact that the most
CONSPICUOUS and indel1ble record which
man is making in the strata nowform-
ing on the sea floor is written in the bits
ofcoal and ash which are cast from our
over the ocean. The quantity OF this
debris is very great, and, unlike the
wrecks, it is very evenly scattered
along the paths followed by our steam
marine. 1t is likely that already, in
the tracks of our transatlantic COM
merce, not a square rod would fail to
give a trace of this waste from our
coal-burning engines. Asthis material
is not attacked by the marine ami
mails, and is very little affected by the
other agents of decay, it will doubt
less be very perfectly preserved in the
strata which IRE to bear the records
of our time.

WHAT THE DETECTIVE DID.

Plaintiff instead Of the Defend

A Washington lawyer is looking
about for a reliable detective. Some
weeks ago a client brought q case to
him in which it vas necessary to fol.

defendant in the pursuit of evidence.
The attorney was not experienced in
the ms and outs of the spying system,
SO he asked a brother lawyer with a
criminal practice to recommend an
assistant. The next day, according
to the Post, d disreputable fellow.

lawyers Office, coolly closed the door
to an adjoining room where the type
writer was at work and announced
mysteriously, "l'm the detective"
Having been given his instructions
and all the points in the case, the de-
tective was asked if he felt sanpuine of
success.
ooh! I'm all right" he remarked
reassuringly, and laid O 4s-caliber
weapon on the table, after the man.

thought he would do and cautioned
him about the use of the weapons. A
week went by. The detective report
