Care of Table Linen.

In buying tablecloths and napkins IL II
always hest to get good quality. Not only
vii. IL wear much longer. but IL gives the
table a richer appearance than an inferior
quality of linen. Have plenty OF changes,
and never use a tablecloth or napkin until
badly soiled, thereby necessitating moro
rubbing TO get il clean, and consequently
more wear on the material.
Never put table linen into soapsuds until
IL has had all stains removed by pouring
boiling water through them. This will re-
move all stains but iron rust; for that
sprinkle on oxalic acid, wetting the spot
with cold water. Rub gently between the
hands, and it will gradually disappear. IL
obstinate, repeat the process. A stain is
very unsightly, and upon an otherwise nice
cloth detracts greatly from its appearance.
The scalding should not be neglected IL a
spotless eXpanse of white is desired.
Table linen should be rubbed lightly, and
always wrung by hand; a wringer makes
creases which are hard to iron out. Blue
lightly, but do not starch. Stifened linen
Never allow tablecloths TO hang on the
line in a strong wind. The hens viii be-
come frayed at the corners and a general
iImpness be the result. Nothing is so wear
ing to all linen and cotton cloth as switch
inB" in the wind on the clothesline.
When signs of wear appear IL is much
better 10 darn back and forth with threads
of the linen from the which
should have been saved when the cloth was
made VI, than to put on a patch. A darn
can be so skillfully managed that scarcely
a trace of its presence can be detected, at
the same time strengthening the worn place
until ii is as strong as the rest, while a
patch, be IL ever so skillfully applied, is q
patch still, and easily detected.
Carving and tea cloths save much OF the
wear at the edges OF the table, and where
there are small children cloths are made OF
butchers linen, stamped. and etched with
floss, either white or colored, as one may
fancy, to be placed under the plate as a
protection to the tablecloth. Very young
children, If allowed at table, should be pro-
vided with oilcloth or rubber bibs OF suffi-
cient size to allow of being placed under
meath the plate. The most reckless little
one cannot smear the tablecloth If protected
in this manner.

S~UTHERLAND'S G
McKane's GraveSend "TOOl" Sup
posed to Have Gone to Nassau.
Sentenced at Long Range to One Year
in Prison and $500 Fine-Twelve
Other Democrats Awaiting Trial.

NEW YORK, March 19.-Kenneth Suther-
land, the Gravesend justice of the peace
whose official acts in John Y. McKane's be-
half at the November election resulted in his
conviction last week on the charge Of OPP
preston, did not appear for sentence in the
Queens county court to-day. The judge
passed sentence upon him of one years i'm
prisonment and 500 fine. Sutherland is a
fugitive, having Jumped his bail bond.
After sentence had been passed upon Suth-
erland, Prosecutor Weinberg moved for the
trial of the Brooklyn men indicted for cleo
ton frauds. There are in all twelve of
these. Their various %counsels asked that the
cases be set over until Thursday morning.
Justice Brown consented.
The Commercial Advertiser asserts that 1t
in Nassau, New Providence. An examina-
ton of the passenger book of the steamship
Cienfuegos, of the Ward line, which sailed
for Nassau last Thursday, showed that a
certain William Sutherland had sailed on
state room No. 80. When asked about Mr..
Sutherland, the clerks said that nobody in
the office had seen him. According to them,
they had received a telephone message pur-
porting to come from New Jersey, saying
that Mr.. Sutherland wanted to engage pas
sage on the Cienfuegos. The usual queS-
lions were asked and answered, and the
man at the telephone. seeming to be salts
fled, said he wanted a state room, but want
ed the matter left in allegiance until heard
from again. About a week later word was
received from MIR. Sutherland engaging his
passage. The steamship Cienfuegos sailed
from pier No. 10. East river, on Thursday,
March 10, and nobody in the office had seen
him., as he did not call there.

C6LDERON CARLISLE,
Something About the awe Who
Is Assisting Miss Pollard.

W. z. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
Calderon Carlisle inherited wealth as well
as a very lucrative law business and had no
reason to leave his regular line of practice
to go into the Breckenridge case for fees or
for reputation or any Of the reasons that
ordinarily apply. The Breckinridges init
mate that he had motives that have not
yet been, but will be, disclosed, and that
whether the verdict Is conviction or &C
quittal the defendant will hold the senior
counsel for the plaintiff personally respon-
sible" for the prosecution and the mortifca-
ton and distress it has caused his family.
There are those who predict that blood
will be shed. and 1 know that Mr.. Carlisle
has been repeatedly warned TO take good
care Of himself. During the scrimmage be-
tween the lawyers the other day Colonel
Breckenridge seized Carlisle by the collar
and was told three times to take his hands
off. The third time Mr.. Carlisle said: If
you don't take you hand off me / shall
strike YOU" but Breckenridge held on until
a bailiff separated the two men:
Colonel Breckenridge claims that he only
wanted to prevent Carlisle from a~ssaulting
Colonel Shelby, his counsel, who commenced
the row. Carlisle's friends think Breckin-
to nave an excuse for shooting. That is
the reason why Carlisle did not use his fists.
even when young Breckenridge struck him
in the back of the neck. 1t is known that
both of the Breckinridges go armed con-
stantly-''to protect themselves from in
suit" their friends say, Notwithstanding
Judge Bradley's warning ip court.
There is no more honorable man in Wash
ington than Calderon Carlisle, and the fam
lily, which came from Scotland in the early
days OF the colonies and settled In Virginia,
have never had a blot on their record or
a black sheep i'm their flock. They are very
proud of their ancestry, their reputation,
and their social position. and have been
their revolvers or their fists. Mr.. Car
Isle had good reasons for becoming Miss
Pollard's counsel, although he may not
think il necessary to explain them
1t IS recalled that the Breckenridge family
left the Presbyterian Church Of the Cove
nant a year or so ago and went to the New
York-avenue Church because DR.. Hamlin,
who breaches in the former, was not ortho-
dox enough TO suit them, in connection with
tha BRIGGS case.

that If he couldn't marry me he would keep
me in his life always"
Ibid you have any woman before you as
an idol?" Mr.. ButterwOrth asked.
AS Miss Pollard was answering: NO, sir;
/ hoped to make a name by writing, her
lawyers objected and the judge sustained
the objection.
For two years when she was first in
Washington. she had met Mr.: B~reckinridge
three or four times a week in a house on
Fourth street. She had spent one summer
at Bread Loaf Inn, in NeTmon a semi
fashionable resort ten miles from MlIdLe5
having represented herself as an authoress
OF reputation. She had met there a woman

Mr.. B~utterworth read extracts from the
article. drawing questions from them; MISS

this questioning was all collateral, where
upon Mr.. Wilson said that he had per-
mitted it because he was very glad TO have
the article brought into the case; that he
would use il later. He reminded MIR. But
terworth that the defense must be bound
by the answers to those questions, and with
considerable sarcasm in his tone trusted
that brother Butterworth would read the
entire article.
Miss Pollard, to further questions, said
that on her return to Washington in the
fall of 1892, when Breckenridge first form
ally proposed 70 marry her, he had met
her -.

Mr.. Butterworth.
"It was not. 1t was in a house on A
street. He said to me. Madeline, this is no
place for us to talk OF these things so We
went out on the street together. He told
me about his children, his prospects and his
intentions"
Did you ever talk of marriage while his
wife was alive?"
VERY rarely"
"But you did talk of it2'

Here the court adjourned with the cross

A MODEST LITTLE GIRL.
DIR. Cowen Tells About "Mattie'' Pol
Iard,s EnrIX School DnYs.

nv
PITTSBURG, March 19.-Madeline Pollard
is a full cousin of DR.. W.. A. Cowen, super
intendent of the West Penn Hospital, in
this city, and Edward Cowen, of the Pitts
burg postofice. Speaking of her to-day, Su-
perintendent Cowen said: Eyes, Matte Pol
lard, or Madeline, as she is now called. is a
full cousin Of mine. My mother was a sis
ter OF Mr.. Pollard, Mattie's father. In 1876
Mr.. Pollard was a delegate from Kentucky
to the Republican national convention, held
at Cincinnati. He took Ill at Cincinnati. and
returning home, died in the spring OF the
same year, 1876. We were then living at
Hazelwood, and my mother went to Ken
lucky to attend her brothers funeral. When
she returned she brought Madeline with her
TO live with us in Pittsburg. Madeline was
then eleven years of age, a mere child, you
might say. No arrangements were made as
to how long she was TO remain with us.
She was at our house constantly from 1875
to 1880, when she returned home. While in
Plttsburg Madeline attended the public
schools OF Hardwood. Her character was
always good while she was here. She was a
remarkably bright girl, but we did not no
tice anything like a hayward disposition in
her. She was as modest as a child of her
age could be expected TO be. After she left
Pittsburg we correSpOnded with her for a
time. but gradually broke off, and for years
we lost all trace of her. In fact, when the
Breckenridge affair occurred ] did not know
that Madeline Pollard and Matte Pollard
were one and the same person. Not till 1
began to read the story of her family did 1
learn that il was she who had sued Con-
gresham breckenridge. No, / don't think
Madeline knew Breckenridge at that time"
DR.. Cowen concluded. A all events. we
IT. was a child in Short dresses saiu'
Many people IN Lakewood remember
Madeline Pollard. Her schoolmates, now
grown to manhood and w~omanhood, recall
her as a wonderfully clever girl, quick to
learn, pretty, modest and refined. MIR. w.
b. Lucky, superintendent of the Pittsburg
schools, says he has a faint recollection OF
the girl. and that he has heard some of he
teachers talking about her since the Breck-
inridge affair became public. He says they
all regarded her as a bright scholar and
very modest girl.
