CARE OF THE WARDROBE.
Some Timely Suggestions About
the Putting Away of Summer

Some Timely Suggestions About
the Putting Away of Summer
Finery.
1t is an accepted fact among women,
founded upon good reason, that when
ones belongings are valuable and costly
the services of a maid are not luxury.
but necessity and really an economy.
Delicate fabrics need great care in
handling and preserving, and fine boots,
shoes, gloves and handkerchiefs are not
to be tossed about carelessly and still
preserve their freshness. But, without
maid and with comparatively simply
wardrobe, a need of care even will be
found great protection. The PittSburg
Dispatch says that i'll putting away
summer wash dresses they must be
rough dried, then folded neatly and
packed in box or trunk by themselves.
1t is an excellent idea to go over each
one and take the few mending stitches
that are sure to be needed. Challies,
creponS and summer silks should be
carefully shaken and brushed, spots
Sponged, bows of ribbon taken off and
unmade If possible, or the dust carefully
wiped off with bit of silk dipped in
weak ammonia water. and packed away
i'll separate boxes. The same rule APP
plies where lace trim the dresses. If
these are washable they should be
washed, otherwise shaken and wound
around bottle or wooden roll. 1t is
good plan to let the dresses hang wrong
side out in the air, all of sunny morn
ing-it you live in hotel to hang in a
hot room the same length of time is
good substitute. Rumpled ruches,
shields and bent bones should be taken
from waists, and skilled maid says
the waist Innings should be brushed
down every seam with cologne and
water. Feathers and flowers should be
taken from the hats and bonnets,
wrapped carefully and separately in
tissue paper, and consigned to boxes
where they will not be crushed. The
flowers should have each leaf pulled
out, and if breathed on before using
again will be found fresh as ever.
Parasols ought to be rolled. but have
loose slip cover put on after they are
carefully wiped, of. if gauze, flirted free
of dust with silk handkerchief, and
then stood in some safe place ard
occasionally opened to alter the folds.

Mayor GiIroy in Chicago.

The history of Mayor Gilroy's recent
visit to Windyvlle-by-the-L it ap-
pears, has not yet been fully told. The
latest story about the now historic pill
grimage is from Tid-Bits. Here it is:
''Here is good story at the expense
of Armour, the big tinned-meat man of
Chicago. The mayor of New York,
while on visit to Chicago, went over
Armoar's place. While standing with
the manager at window which over
looked great yard he saw a herd of
oxen driven in. A few minutes later
there was a great rattle and crash,
which turned out to be the result of
hundreds of tins falling down a chute.
"'What's in those tins? he asked the
manager.
Oh was the reply, they contain
all that's lett of those bullocks you Just
saw driven byr
'Indeedp said the enlightened tray
elsr. That is simply marvelousl Just
wait minute while make a note of it.
"And, producing note book, he rap
idly scrubbed down something, while
the manager exchanged winks with an
assistant working at neighboring
desk. When the New Yorker got back
to his hotel that evening he was inter-
viewed by Chicago reporter, who,
among other questions, said: i believe
you have been to Armour's place today
what do you think of it?'
"'Well,' said the mayor, slowly, 4
was much impressed with Armour
concern. See-here is note l made of
the occurrence that struck me particu-
larly,' and, producing his note book, he
turned to the entry that he had made
at Armour's. and handed it to the re-
porter to read. 1t ran thus: 4 have
beeL bout good bit in my time, and
have met some laundering liars, but
never such laundering ones as Armour
folks.'"

had all been parceled out until it was
impossible for Maj. Baldwin to get
recognition by the chairman. He pri-

WORLDS FAIR CONGRESS.
Do You Know What Great
Good It Is Doing
WISE NJ EN- AGREE.
z Discovery of the Real Cause of
6, Most Physical Troubles --Sci-
ence Has Revealed the
Source of Happiness.

" "One of the most important subjects
before the Worlds Congresses in Chi
cagO has been the great cause of the
physical trouble of the civilized world
today"
!. The speaker was prominent man
from abroad. Continuing, he said:
From all parts of the universe the tes-
timOny has flown in, and it is over
whelmingly to the effect that some form
OF kidney or liver difficulty, commonly
known as Bright'S disease, is at the root
of the majority of evils that are affecting
mankind. In past years it was veXed
question as to what this disease really
was, and it seemed TO be settled Ques-
ton that it could not be cured. But
modern investigation and science came
to the relief, and what had not hereto
fore been done chemical discovery ac-
complished. There were men and
women who died prematurely from in
Vulnerable causes, all of which could he
traced TO the one source, and there came
up from all the land. indeed from the
entire world, great cry for help from
the great evil, which had become a
worldwide danger.
ut was In the midst of this condition
of things that the great discovery was
made which has become today the best
anu ihOoh POPulQI ulSSONCky
its line ever known to the world. 1t is
known as Warmers Safe Cure, and it
has accomplished more for the world
than any other medical discovery here
tOf0re known. LIN the evidence submit
ted were several thousand cases in both
Europe and America where men and
women in the advanced stages of
Brig ITS disease had been entirely cured,
and were well today. In writing upon
this subject, one OF the leading profess
sors In New York Medical College
says:
''1n severe cases of Bright's disease,
where all other remedies and treat
meGts failed, have effected permanent
cures with Warmers Safe Cure. Fur
thermore, am convinced that in all
ailments where the blood is in an IN
healthy condition, and the general
health impaired, the advantage gained
by the use of Warmers Safe Cure is re-
markable."
The influence OF the Worlds Con-
crosses in Chicago upon the welfare
and happiness of the world cannot be
oyer-estimated. They are certain to set
forward civilization and aid mankind,
and not the least advantage is the fact
that these great men have so unheSi-
tatlngly stated that Inflammation of the
kidneys, leading to Bright's disease and
causing the annoyances to which women
even more than men are subjected. is
the seat of most of our national physical
trouble. With this truth clearly in
mind, 1t Is cause for great gratitude that
so grand discovery has been made for
certainly counteractiDg this most bane-
full of diseases. 1t is for this reason
that we congratulate our readers upon
the action which has been taken by the
great Worlds Congresses in Chicago.

RETURNED THE VISIT.
British Officers on Board the
Italian Shin.


TAEANTo, Oct. IL. - Admiral Sir
Michael Culme Seymour. in command
of the British Mediterranean fleet, &C.
companied by all of his captains, re-
turned the visit today of Admirals Gomez
and Turia, of the Italian navy, amidst
much ceremony and tue burning of a
large amount OF powder in salutes. The
British officers remained over an hour
on board the Italian flagship Italia, and
the admirals and other officers partook
of most SumptuOuS entertainment
OH board the Italian ship, which
was highly appreciated by all
present. The Italian admirals in
toastS referred iii the most flattering
terms 10 the power of the British navy
and to the great influence which the
friendship existing between Italy and
Great Britain should have upon the
peace of Europe. Admiral Seymour in
reply referred in complimentary
phrases to the war ships of Italy, and
was also of the opinion that both navies
could not be better employed than in
the maintenance of peace.
Later III the day Admiral Seymour
received all the local government and
municipal officers, who visited him in
state and presented the British admiral
with most hattering address of wei
come.
The city of laramie continues to pre-
sent the highly animated appearance
which it assumed in order to do honor
to The visiting British fleet, which is
one of the most powerful ever
gathered in a foreign port. This
truly magnificent display of war ships
was increased in number and strength
today by the arrival of II. NJ. S.
Surprise. The Surprise is commanded
by Capt. Archibald L. Carter. This
addition to the British fleet makes a
very fine showing for Great Britain in
these waters. where the Sans Parell,
Dreadnaught. lnflexible and Nile, all
first-class battle ships, and the Hawk
and Edgar, cruisers, were already an
chored before Ii. Nj. S. Surprise lowered
her mudhook i'll the waters of the Mare
Ticollo.
The whole Of the press of Italy today
Joins in admirable greetings of the
British fleet, and the significant fact of
this occurrence when seven vessels of
Russia are gathered in French waters is
not to be thought slightly of. and
Whatever the intent of the
British squadron in laramie, it is
looked upon on all sides as
a counter move TO the presence of the
Russian squadron at Toulon. Admiral
Seymour during the day received num-
erous Populations OF Italian merchants
and others to pay their respects to him
and bid him welcome. In return Adj
miral Seymour visited the arsenal in
company with the Italian admiral.
III the evening banquet was given
to the English admiral and his officers
on board the Italia, the hosts being the
officers of the Italian navy aud the mer-
chants. Admiral Corci, in loasting
Admiral Seymour and his command,
said he was happy 10 be the first tC
welcome the British squadron to Italy

Serious Charges Against the Our

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17.-Chief of
Detectives Lees, speaking of the pub
lished statement that the jury which
acquitted NJ. B. Curtis of the murder of
Officer Grant had been bribed, said
there is not the least doubt but that al
three juries in the Curtis case were
iarupered with, and the last one bought
outright.
I. y. COY, one Of the jurors SAID to
have been bribed, went to the chief of
police today and demanded an investi-
CATION. He denied all knowledge of
bribery. Curtis is now at his ranch near
Fresno aud cannot be reached. The
district attorney has announced that
he will have the bribery charges invest
tigated. and if there is any legal proof
Will have offenders indicted and prose-
cuted. McManus, one of the alleged
brlbers, denies the story, and the other.

THE LAWYERS WAYS.

I've been list'nin' to them lawyers
In the court house up the street,
An I've come to the conclusion
That I'm most completely beat.
Fust one Teller riZ to argy,
An he boldly waded in
AS he dressed the tremblin' prisoner
In coat o. deep-dyed sin.
Why, he painted him all over
Iii hue O. blacklist crime,
An he smeared his reputation
With the thickest kind o. CRIME,
Tell l found myself a-wond' rim,
In a misty way and dim,
How the Lord had come to fashion
Slch an awful man as him.
Then the other lawyer started,
And. with brimmin' fearful eyes
Said his client was martyr
That was brought to sacrifice.
An he give to that same pris'ner
Every blessed human grace,
Tell l saw the light o. virtue
Fairly shinin' from his face.
Then own at was puzzled
How sch things could rightly be;
An this aggervatin' question
Seems to keep a-puzzlin' me.
So, will some one please inform me,
An this mystery uuroll-
How an angel an devil
Can persess the self-same soul?
