Very Neatly Expressed. Indeed.

BROOKLYN, Jan. 6.-The Standard Union
last night says: in the intimate circles
of President-elect Cleveland's friends there
is much rejoicing over the fact that when
the White House opens to receive the
choice OF the Democratic party the dark
spell that has lowered over it will be in a
fair way to be lifted. One being passes out
of the world; another enters existence; just
as the morning succeeds the night Should
the newcomer prove to be boy the cup
of earthly happiness will be full for Gro
yer Cleveland"

Puzzles the Physicians.

TOLEDO, Jan. CLAY Hopper, 17-year-
old boy, who has been i'll with dropsy of
the heart for several months, was supposed
by his family and physician to have died,
and his funeral was set for last Friday.
When all was in readiness, the corpse
showed signs of life, and the funeral was
thereupon declared off. The boy has re-
manned in a comatose condition since that
time, and although the body is warm there
are no other signs of life. The physicians
are puzzled over the strange case.

cred the blood-stained battlefield at Bak-
ersfield and the mountain roads are i'm
passable. 1t is impossible to obtain further
details of the riot in the mountain hamlet,
but the details published yesterday are
substantially correct. The accounts of the
fight came from half dozen isolated
towns, and all agreed i'll essential particu
lars. Denials of the story as sent out from
Cranberry Forge and other points are ut
terly unreliable All of these points are
showed in and it is impossible to obtain q

The accounts All Agreed.
1t cannot be denied that the riot oc-
CURED and that there was heavy loss of
life, but the number of killed is in doubt
All the news brought to the different tele-
graph offices came by the mail carriers
who traverse the mountain roads once or
twice weel and every one of them
brought about the same report. The storm,
which has been the heaviest in many years,
has probably put an end to all hostilities,
and, as was indicated in yesterdays dis
patch, the moIntaineers are content to let
the matter rest without troops, Judge or

The Market Disturbed.

The woman with a basket on her arm
was nosing around the market picking
up at various stands such edible bar
gains as a skillful landlady knows at
sight, and at last she pulls up alongside
of a stand with pile of dressed chickens
on the counter.
These fresh" she asked, laying her
hand on them.
Yes replied the huckster, rather
impatiently.
She didn't respond, but began looking
at something else, and shortly returned
to the chickens, which she shifted at
several times and finally put her nose
down close to get a smell that would
confirm her suspicious.

ster, what are you smelling those
chickens for?'

To Clean Paint.

A good many housewives attack the
paint with materials and an energy
which wear away considerable portion

without injury to the film. In the case
of an implanted board the conditions
are different. as the CRIME has become
imbedded in the grain of the wood. and
itmay be necessary to scour the surface
to eliminate the dirt; but on the painted
surface, the application of a thorough
detergent. followed by an adequate
rinsing, will bring out the purity and
brightness of the paint, with the mini.
mum of injury to its texture. Nothing
is better for this purpose than the adj
dition of two or three spoonfuls Of borax
to each pailful of warm water. Then
go over it again with plain, warm
water and wipe as nerly dry as prac-
ticable.-Good Housekeeping.
