Beware of Yellow Green.

Yellow green Is color to be spar
ingly and cautiously worn. 1t israrely
becoming, and has pitiless tendency
to bring out in bold relief every trace
of illness or fatigue in those who may
sometimes don it with impunity. Such
a color should never be selected for q

The Best Furniture Polish.

An experienced cabinet-maker says
that the best preparation for cleaning
picture frames and restoring furniture,
especially that somewhat marred or
scratched, is a mixture Of three parts
of linseed oil and one part spirits OF
turpentine. 1t not only covers the dis
figured surface but restores wood to
its original color, leaving lustre upon
the. surface. Apply with a woolen
cloth and when dry rub with woolen.

had never before seen that writing.
Mr. Graham put on his specs and
looked it over, then held it up to the
light, and after both had wondered
and guessed and turned it over dozen
times or so, Mrs. Graham finally sat
down to open it, which after many un-
successful attempts she succeeded in
doing. when out dropped not only the
letter but check sufficiently large to
call forth from Mr.. Graham a sur

opened her letter which read:
DEAR Mr.. AND MRS. GRAHAM have been
thinking ever since I came home about that
trip, and the more 1 think about it, the more
certain am it's just what you both need more
than anything else and Mr.. Mills agrees with
me IN thinking you have fairly earned d vaca-
ton. I want you should take the trip, and let
me feel | can DO this little for one who helped
me take such good care of my sick baby. I

Perhapsit it was foolish for TWO such
old people, but Mr.. and Mrs. Graham
certainly behaved in a most undigni-
fed manner all that day; both insisted
on talking at the same time, so eager
were they to tell each other what they
thought about the matter, discussing
the advisability of taking the morning
train, or the advantages to be gained
by waiting for the evening train;

LYNCHEO TWO.

Six Men Take Two Negroes, Convicted of
Murder, From sheriff and Hang
Them.
MONTGOMERY, Ala, Aug. 25.-Two
Negroes were lynched near here Friday
night at Mitchells,a way station on the
Central railroad. They were Riley
Walker and Richard Jordan. Both
were in the custody of the sheriff and
deputy of Bullock county, en- route
to this city, the sheriff having antici-
pated mob violence at Union Springs
had the prisoners been kept there Fri
day night.
Six of the mob got on the train un-
noticed as it left Union Springs. When
the train slowed up for Mitchells the
men masked themselves. went into the
next car, covered the officers, put ropes
about the prisoners necks, led them
outside, and hung them to the first
tree reached. Everything was done
without word from the mob, and
there was no excitement.
Riley Walker was the ring-leader of
a gang of notorious murderers and rob-
bers in Bullock county. Jordan was a
member of the gang. Dud Corey was
shot down and killed in his store at
Suspension, last winter, and his store
robbed Mr.. Hall was shot week
following, in his store, from the out
side, but he managed to kill one of the
gang. Both, crimes were committed at
night. Mr.. Hall was not killed.

CLEVELAND
Thinks He Has Written Enough on
the Tariff Bill.
Strained Relations Between the President
and Secretary Carlisle--Two Stories In
Regard TO Mr.. Carlisle's Letter to the
Senate Against Free Sugar.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.--"Oh, - a
message, have said enough about the
tariff bill"
This was the answer President Cleve-
land made to a democratic senator who
called at the white house to urge the
signing of the bill with message stat
ing the views of the executive. The
presidents vigorous expression was not
intended for publication, but it was
such a remarkable utterance that il
was promptly repeated to other SEN
ators, and in this way came to corre-
spondent direct.
Nothing could better illustrate Mr..
Clevelands attitude and temper at this
time. He will not sign the tariff bill,
and he will not write a message to
congress. The president will simply
ignore the act Of the democratic senate
and house. And he will show his con-
tempt for their tariff work by permit
ting the bill to lie on the table of the
secretary of the treasury until it be-
comes law.
A surprise for the president, accord
ing to inside administration sources,
was the letter of Secretary Carlisle to
Senator Harris, pleading against the
free sugar bill, which, according to
Mr.. Carlisle, would cause deficiency
of nearly s20,OOO,0O0. There are two
stories told as to this famous letter.
One is that Secretary Carlisle, before
sending his communication to the sem
ate, acquainted the president with his
intention and was told to go ahead.
The other is that the president knew
nothing about the contents of Mr. Carr
isles letter, and is very angry at the
argument given the senate as an ex-
cuse for side-tracking free sugar.
AS near as can be ascertained, Secre-
tary Carlisle did make an effort to see
the president the morning after his
letter was written. The president,
however, was i'll and in bed. suffering
from the attack of malaria which sub
sequently drove him to Buzzard's Bay
for relief. No one could see the presi-
dent, but verbal message was carried
to him by Private Secretary Thurber,
which may or may not have been made
clear.
At any rate cabinet officer is quoted
as authority for the statement. that
the president did not know what his
secretary of the treasury was doing.
While this authority does not state
that the president would have stopped
the letter, of course that is the infer
ence.
All this comes from those who insist
that had the president been Loyalty
dealt with he would not be in the pc
culiar position he is to-day, with bill
before him that he denounced in un-
measured terms. 1t will be seen, from
the very interesting gossip which is
now coming to the surface, that the re-
lations between the president and GER
tain very high officials in the govern
ment are strained and likely to become
more SO. 1t will also be seen that it is
the determination of Mr.. Cleveland's s
closest friends to relieve him, as far as
they possibly can, from any RESPONSE
bility for the terrible plight into which
matters have been thrown.

A COLORADO HORROR.
Fire Starts in the Amethyst Mine-Four
Miners Killed and One Injured.

Miners Killed and One Injured.
CREEDE, Col, Aug. 25.-A fire start
ing in the dry-room at the Amethyst
mine at daylight Friday destroyed all
the buildings and machinery. and the
falling timbers and skip are buried in
the bottom of the mine. Tom Ever
sole. Archie Dowell, Hugh Fay and
Charles Proctor, four miners working
below, discovered that something was
out of order by the falling of the bell
rope, and they hastened to ascend by
means of ladders and stairways.
The falling mass of burning timbers
and hot iron work of the skip caused
clouds of steam to arise. and the men
were caught and buried under the de-
bris, where their bodies must remain
for several days before they can be Sc
cured. Pumpman McAskill, who
was on the seventh level on his
way up the ladder. had his head grazed
by the falling timbers, thus escaping
the fate of his comrades. Above the
ground only two men were about, the
engineer and the shift boss.
The buildings, being heavily soaked
with oils, burned rapidly. Within fif-
teen minutes the boiler house. engine
room, shaft house, hoisting machinery,
supply room and machine shops were
destroyed. AS soon as possible a pipe
line was laid from the New York mine.
and the water accumulating in the
mine will be lifted. The loss is esti-
mated at $4,000.
This mine is one of the famous bo-
nanza properties discovered by N. C.
Creede, and now owned by D. H. Mof-
fat and others, of Denver. The mine is
among the best equipped properties in
the state. and mas already produced
over 81 100000 in silver.

LETTER LIST.
Proposition to Abandon the Custom OF
Advertising 1t in the Newspaper.

Proposition to Abandon the Custom of
Advertising it in the Newspaper.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.-The post Of
fee department has under considera-
ton proposition to abandon the GUS
tom of advertising in the newspapers
the list of letters which remain un-
called for. The substitute plan is to
place this list on bulletin boards
in the main office and substations,
where such exist. Last year
the expenditure for newspaper
advertising of this character was
about $4,000 This year Bissell
asked for an appropriation of sls, 600,
and First Assistant Jones asked for
$4,000, a total of $4,000 to be ex-
pended in advertising unclaimed let
ters. Congress refused to give Mr..
Jones the appropriation asked for,
but increased the amount requested
by MIR. Bissell to $4,000. Therefore
there is only this sum available for
services for which $4,000 was ex-
pended last year, and for decided
increase expected this year. 1t is
not thought, however, that the bulle-
tin board plan will be seriously con-
sidered by the department, as it is con-
not be reached by any such method.
Should the existing system be abol-
ished an increased force will be neces-
sary in the dead letter Office, the ex-
pense of which will be even greater
than the problematical saving by re-
sort to the bulletin board system.

BIG CLAIM
On the Part of Colombia gainst Our Gov

On the Part of Colombia Against Our Gov
ernment for Overcharge of Duties.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Our govern
ment has become entangled with the
United States of Colombia, which
steadily refused all efforts of the state
department to induce it to become
a party to one of these reciprocity
treaties.
When her sister republicn and Spain
las to Cuba and Porto Rico) began to
ship their products duty free to the
United States under the terms of their
new treaties Columbia claimed the
same exemption for her staples, hides,
coffees, sugars and molasses. The state
department rejected his claim. The
treaty of 1s46 declares that the
Columbians shall not be assessed
any duties upon their pro-
ducts imported into the United States
higher than on like articles imported
from any other foreign country. At
last the United States has been obliged
to admit the strength and correctness
of the Colombian position. This being
done it follows that the government
must refund to importers the
amounts they paid in duties on Co.
lombian products which should have
been free or admitted at lower rates.
Steps are being taken to ascertain the
amount from statistics The United
States very recently induced Spain to
order refund of $5,0oc.O 900 collected
enormously upon our exports to Cuba,
but stronger case is found in an in
stance where Great Britain was obliged
to refund to us under the terms of a
treaty closely corresponding with that
between the United States and Co.

PRUNE JUICE.
A New Way to Make Fire water-'whis-
KY" for About Ten Cents a Gallon.

KY TOT ABOUT len cents "A taitOn.
COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 25.- Food Com
missioner McNeal has discovered in the
local markets an article intended for
use in making fraudulent whisky. The
particular sample he has secured is put
up by a New York firm, and is labeled
"prune juice" Upon the wrapper is
also the statement that the contents
tabout two pints) is sufficient to make
five gallons OF whisky. Further direc-
tions state that this ""prune juice"
with about so cents worth of alcohol
Gt need not be the best by any means),
should be added to about five gallons
of water. The resultant mixture is
ready to be sold for whisky.
DIR. j. A. Sterritt, who is in charge of
this branch of the work, followed direc-
tions with the sample and succeeded in
making a bottleful of what would
readily pass for whisky of fair quality
anywhere. Several persons who were
asked to taste it pronounced it whisky,
but two of them said, after being in
formed of its real character, that they
could detect slight taste of varnish
in it.
1t is not known what the mixture
really is, but it is certainly not prune
juice, as it purports to be. The depart
ment will know what it is. as soon as
the chemist can make an analysis of it.
1T is an adulteration, no doubt, and as
such illegal under the Ohio laws.
There is question, too. whether it is
not violation of the federal revenue
laws to make such whisky and
sell it without paying the gov
ernment tax upon it. The alco-
hol put in it insures that the bogus
whisky will make one drunk just the
same as the regular stuff. Dr. Sterritt
gives it as his opinion that this kind of
whisky can be made for about ten
cents gallon, SO that being allowed
to put it on the market without pay
ing the government license is about
as good thing as being allowed to
run a moonshine distillery without dis
turbance. As soon as it becomes gener-
/ ally known that such an article is on
the market the proprietor will be apt
to find the state and national govern
ment after him.
