BERLIN, Oct. 9.-During the Hessian
maneuvres near Hofhein, eight reserve
soldiers, attached to the 18th regiment,
mutinied and attacked their captain
with swords. The mutineers were dis
armed by party of their fellow SOL
diers, and afterwards confined in the
fortress of Mayence, to await trial by
court martial. They are liable to be
sentenced to death.
BERLIN, Oct. 9.-Prof. Leyden, the
specialist, who was recently in attend
ance upon the Russian Emperor at
Spala, says: with favorable climatic
influences at Corfu or the Island of Ma
deira, if the weather at Corfu is not
found to be favorable, and without un
foreseen complications the Car may re-
cover. The illness of the Car is pecu-
liar. His principal trouble is granu-
lated contraction of the kidneys, in
which the kidneys become hard and
change tissue, besides being subject to
atrophy. This is accompanied by by
pertrophy of the heart resulting from
enlargement of its muscular tissue.
The latter leads to breathing with
great difficulty and is often very
painful, the spells being complicated
with fits of Inconsistencies. Diabetes
in the preliminary stage has appeared,
but it is merely symptomatic and an
accompaniment of the main trouble.
When further advanced this malady
frequently results in partial or entire
paralysis. Thus far, however, there
does not appear to be any immediate
danger of this with the Car. Under
the most favorable circumstances the
disease is of long duration, possibly
years, and the results are most uncer-
tain"
ROME, Oct. 9.-The Italian minister
at Pekin has addressed a note to China,

BASE BALL.-The series of games be-
tween the Baltimores, the National
League champions, and the New Yorks,
who finished second in the League race,
for the Temple cup were concluded at
New York yesterday evening. The
New Yorks defeated the Orioles for the
fourth consecutive time by score of
16 to 8, thus winning the cup and 65
per cent. of the net receipts of the four
games. The net receipts amount to
about $4,000, and each one of the
players will therefore receive very
snug sum for their work in the series
just closed. The New Yorks have out.

ApPoMATTox AND SURRENDER.-The
following is given out by the Postoffice
Department as the status of the case of
the change of the name from Appomat-
tox to Surrender: Several months
ago the county buildings at Appomat-
tox Court House were burned. This
town was three miles distant from the
Norfolk and Western Railroad. At the
junction point where mail had been re-
ceived and sent to Appomattox was
postoi1ice called Nebraska. The Apo
mattox courthouse was removed after
the fire to Nebraska, whose name was
changed to Appomattox. 1t is appar-
ent, therefore, that the name Apo
mattox has not been lost. 1t is pre-
served in the name of the Office formal
" known as Surrender. The old office
2 at Appomattox was not abolished. The
department desired new name for it.
Surrender was suggested, and in the
absence of any other suggestion this
name was adopted. The name was
suggested by Mr.. Rosser, who, we are
told, is brother of General Rosser,
who played a prominent part in the
Confederate service. If the name Sur
render is Objectionable to the patrons
of the office the department will give
it any other name acceptable to them.
We cannot give it the name of Apo
mattox' because another office OF the
same name is only three miles distant"

FIRE NEAR WAsH1NGToN.-The hotel

FIRE NEAR WAsHINGToN.-The hotel
and amphitheatre at Bethesda Park,
Montgomery county, Md, were des-
troyed by file last night. The place
was owned by James E. Bell, real
estate broker, and the loss was about
$4,000. The place was leased by
Mullen & McCobb, and was run mainly
as Sunday resort, but on account OF
the local option law was not permitted
to sell liquor openly. The fire was
discovered about half-past Z o'clock.
The building was entirely of frame, and
burned rapidly. There was little water
on the grounds, and all efforts to save
the building were futile. After the left
wing of the hotel was consumed the
heat set fire to the amphitheatre, and
il was also destroyed.

INFATUATED WITH A NEGRO.-A let
ter from Big Stone Gap, Va, says: "A
negro was sent to the town Jail yester-
day under bond of $500, on charge
of assaulting young white girl. He
will get a fair trial, and he will get the
extreme penalty of the law. A man
named Breeder missed his 16 year-old
stepdaughter Sunday night. Suspicion
was directed to Henry Watson, q good
looking mulatto, who has wife and
several children. He had been seen
talking with her on the streets, and
making suspicious remarks about her.
A hunt was made for Watson, and he
was arrested at II o'clock at his home.
Breeder, going home, found his daugh-
ter in bed, and she confessed that she
had gone with Watson up the river for
q mile or two; he had assaulted her
and then she got frightened and came
home. The negro had strange In:
fuence over her, and had persuaded
her to run away with him. She con-
fessed with reluctance, and at first
seemed anxious to shield him. A pro-
position was made to lynch Watson,
but the police took charge of him, and
will guard him to the county jail. The
girl is very pretty and had been here
tofore of irreproachable character. Her
letters to the negro show q peculiar in
fatuation for him.

ergy at my command for the election

A BATTLE WITH BRIGANDs.-The
Chateau St.Pierre des Porte de Hyeres,
an ancient residence that is usually
rented by foreign visitors to the Rivi-
era, was the scene Saturday night of a
desperate attack of Italian brigands.
The attacking party attempted to carry
the place by assault, using scaling lad
ders in their efforts to reach the inte-
rior of the building. There were a
number of servants in the house, who,
badly frightened by the boldness OF the
attack, made a desperate resistance,
and succeeded in holding the brigands
outside the walls. While the fight was
being waged, number of gendarmes
approached the place, whereupon the
brigands fled.

AS THE entire human race IL sadly

been since the earliest period of record
ed history, nations, parties and assocla-
tions, being composed of members OF

the same quality. But none certainly
could be more sorely afflicted in that
way than the Interstate Democratic
Association of Washington, for at its
last meeting it adopted resolution to
the effect that its members in going
home TO vote refrain from using Pull
man cars. No wonder one of the mi

VICE PRESIDENT STEVENSON says the
democratic Congress has kept faith
with those who entrusted it with
power by passing the German tariff
bill, in that it has reduced the tariff on
many necessaries of life, and removed
it entirely from others, and, by taxing
the incomes of the rich, lowered the
taxes of the poor. But President
Cleveland says the bill referred to is
formulated "perfdy and dishonor."
How any true democrat can desire the
repeal of the German, and the re-enact-
ment of IFS alternative, the Mckinley
bill, is passing strange, for that would
be the logical result Of those who may
vote against the democratic congress
ional candidates at the election to be
held only four weeks from to-day.

HOW TO TAKE CARE OF A STOVE.
Clean Each Different Part According to the
Metal Therein.

Clean Each Different Part According to the
Metal Therein.
The various parts of stove require
careful treatment if it is to be kept
shining and bright. Once q month is
often. enough to apply backing to a
stove, provided the kitchen is kept clean.
If something is spilled on the stove, it
should be cleaned off at once and not
allowed to burn in. A heavy flannel rag,
should be kept OH hand for this pur
pose. In case of very obstinate grease
spot q very little kerosene may be used
Where strip or anything of sugary
nature is spilled it is probably the best
way to let it burn to char and then
take it up.
1t is unavoidable that a little grease
should fall on the stove in broiling ny
less there is regular broiling ARA
ment attached to the stove. In
case the grease must be wipe ,>oS -, =

In blacking to stove at the monthly,
blacKlng remove the nickel work. This
is easiiy done, as it is merely screwed
ON. Black the stove thoroughly, damp
ening the backing if convenient with az
little coffee rather than water. After.
applying the wet backing with one
brush to small portion of the stove
polish it off with dry brush, and after.
the whole stove has been polished in this
way rub and polish it with q chamois.
kept for the purpose or clean cotton
cloth. This last process removes ther
dust of the backing No patent black
ings which have been invented to dc
away with the labor of polishing can be
recommended as durable They require,
to be continually renewed and do not
take the place of the old fashioned
backing.
After the stove has been fully black
ed and polished the nickel work should
be cleaned bright with whiting and put
back i'll place. If the stove has ground
polished edges, as most of the best stoves
have, do not polish them with backing,
but clean them bright with sapolio.
