THE BLACK WEEK.
A Record of Cleveland Infamy Without a
Redeeming Feature.

John Russell Young in philadelphia Star.
This will be known in American history,
as far as Washington is concerned, as The
Black Week.
Never, not even when President Johnson
fought Congress, have we had such flow
Of scandal as this now oozing from Wasing-
ton. Let us sum it up:
|. The President writes to Mr.. Wilson.a
letter saying in plain wards that Tariff
Reform" as he calls the miserable business,
has obeen sacrificed by the ''perfdy" of
Democrat Senators.
II. He appeals to Mr.. Wilson to save his
honor as democrat in this-that having
pledged the country in favor of Tariff Re-
form, these pledges should be redeemed.
Ill. The country is not considered in
these ntreaties-simply the "pledges" of
democratic leader to his partisans.
". Senator German, speaking from his
own knowledge, and summoning other SEN
ators as willing witnesses, averse that the
tariff bill denounced by Mr.. Cleveland as
''perfdy" han been submitted to the Presi-
dent and approved.
V. While the President, in Difference to
recently developed New York public opin-
ina, 'deprecates" the income tax, it is shown
that he had suggested such tax in public
message.
vi. The Presidents demand for free coal
is declared by his political friends TO be in
the interest of Nova Scotia coal syndicate
owned by personal friends. The direct re-
suit of free coal will be the destruction of
one of the most important industries of
Pennsylvania, to enrich the syndicate.
VII. 1t appears that before Mr.. Cleve-
land was nominated he was stood up by two
Louisiana Senators, the late Randall Gibson
and the present Justice White and COM
PEELED to promise protection to sugar."
VIII. The outcome is that every poor man
in the United States must pay from two to
three cents pound extra tor sugar to en-
able few planters in the tropical sections
of Louisiana to compete with the West
India Islands and Brazil.
TX. The Sugar Trust, concern largely
owned by aliens, gave money in the recent
elections in return for a concession worth
to them thirty millions year.
x. The Whisky Trust, another mercenary
and infamous combination, has arranged in
the same manner for monopoly worth sew
eral millions.
This may we'll be called The Black Week.
The sky of darkness is unredeemed by a
single star.

HOW TO LAUNDER HANDkeRcHIEFs

Directions For Making Them Always Look

After they have been washed and
brought in dried from the line, instead
of sprinkling them for ironing, as you
do the other clothes, put quarts Of
water in o bowl Id squeeze drops of
bluing into it from the bluebag; then
take q piece Of raw starch the size Of q
pigeons egg and dissolve it in the wa
ter, being careful that 1t does not settle
in the bottom Of the bowl.
Take each handkerchief separately,
dip it up and down in this water two or
three times, squeeze 1t as dry as possible
with the hands: then, when they have
all been dipped in, lay them out smooth
ly in q towel and place them in the
clothesbasket.
To iron them lay them out fat ON the
ironing table and smooth them ON both
Sides After this make fold inches
deep across the handkerchief and press
it in lightly with the iron; then make q
fold the other way across Cie handker-
chief just as they are folded in the boxes
when you buy them. By laundering
them in this way handkerchiefs will
look quite new is long as they last.

Straightly aimed at you and me,

How to Make a substitute For Putty.

A cheap and effective substitute for
putty to stop cracks in woodwork is
made by soaking newspapers in paste
made by boiling pound of flour in
three quarts Of water and adding tea
spoonful of alum. The mixture should
be of about the same consistency as
putty and should be forced into the
cracks with caselknife. 1t will harden
like papier mache, and when dry may
be painted or stained to match its sur
roundings, when it will be almost i'm

ESSIE BONEHILL IN "PLAY
 MAIES.J

evening Will witness what promises to De the theatrical event of the season. Bonnie Bessie Bonehill will make her first appear ance as star in new musical comedy of a somewhat nautical order, entitled "Play- mates.' It will be an important affair, and the theater- going public may look for great theatrical treat.
 In the second act will be produced one of the most realistic effects ever produced on the American stage. It is a mid ocean scene, magniicently represented, with the immense waves h full motion, and the cycloramic sky effects are revolved by huge machinery. So realistic is this scene that the motion of the waves almost suggests a sensation of seasickness. It will be a rare treat for those born inland, who have never witnessed the solemn and impressive mys- teries of the ocean deep.
 But, aside from the great showing of scenic panoramas, the "Playmates' com pany is composed of artists who have made big hits on both the legitimate and vaude- vile stages. Aside from Miss Bonehill, who is a favorite in two countries, comes tation for their clever interpretation of lu- dicrous characters. Sig. Borelli, musical wonder from the sunny climes of Italy, who set all London and Paris laughing last year with his clever burlesque on Pader- ewski, can do almost anything imaginable with piano, and will do so in "Play- mates. Miss Aida Perrault, the clever soubrette and phenomenal dancer; Seeley and West, the musical specialists, will selections; the Misses Anello Zelna, Clio Vernon, Olive Tremaine, Rose Beaumont, Lulu Leslie, Cora Hart, singers and danc- CTS; John Peady, F. Smith and William DeGrasse, late of Frank Daniels "Puck - are among the others in the company.

THINGS DRAMATIC
An Evening of Enjoyment Will Be Spent by Those Attending
 0'Brien's- Opening.

Another dramatic season is upon us and those who enjoy the drama, the comedy, the grand or light opera and other attrac- tions are duly happy.
 The opening of the season at o Brien g occurs tomorrow, when Robert Gaylor will present his third edition of "Sport McAllis- ter'' to the public.
 Those who want to laugh should take advantage of this opportunity to see per formance so meritorious. The chief charm about Gaylor's work is his naturalness and the absence of noisy and meretrlcious devices to cause laughter. The style IS clean, wholesome and irresistible. His humor is unctuous and refined and does not depend upon vulgarity in the least sense. He has successfully entertained large and critical audiences in every city of importance in the United States and Can ada, and comes again with brilliant rec ord of fifty consecutive nights at the Broadway Bijou theater, New York, where he was the laughing success of the season.
 The play fulfills the elastic requirements of an amusing farce comedy, and nothing to offend the critical; it affords ample op- portunity for tbe introduction of special ties, among which Gilbert and Goldie tig- ure very prominently. That excellent sou brette, Mabel Craig, is also with the com pany, and is winning new laurels for her excellent acting. A distinct novelty is promised in the shape ot reproduction of Loie Fuller's famous shadow skirt dance. The piece abounds with pleasing special ties.
