CHAPl. ".
In little hamlet known as Huuker-
VILE, SIX miles from Spiketown, there ap-
peared early in the afternoon of the next
day tall, slim youth with large valise
in his hand
Mounting a dry goods COX at a public
corner, he opened his valise, took out
white. glistening candle, struck a match,
lit the candle, let it burn a few moments,
and blew it out.
Struck by the singular solemnity of his
manner, and wondering what he was
about to do, a crowd quickly gathered
about him, and he began an Grafton he
mad sat up half the night before To write
and commit to memory.
NFellow-citizens, " he said, lit has been
well observed that he who causes two
DIades OF grass TO grow where only one
grew before Is public benefactor. So is
ne benefacJor who causes a nuisance to
disappear where a nuisance has pre-
vlously existed. assert without fear of
successful contradiction that among the
little things that trouble US in this world
tnere is nothing more annoying than a
grease spot. My mission is to remove
grease spots, and to furnish you with the
means OF removing them yourselves. Do
you see this candlel Keep your eye on
this candle"
He held it out moment for their in
spection, elevated his voice, and went on ::
Now, there is nothing on earth more
greasy than candle. l take this candle
IN my right hand, rub it on my left
sleeve in this manner, as you see me
doing, and it leaves a large grease SPOT.
This is the best coat I've got in the world
gentlemen, and would be very foolish to
put large spot of grease on it if l did not
possess the means of removing it in
stantly and effectually. Now observe"
He took from his valise a small glass
bottle filled with colorless liquid, and
uncorked it,
Watch me closely, gentlemen. ap-
ply small quantity Of this fluid to the
grease spots. rub it with my finger in
this manner. You see it instantly raises
lather. | take a clean rag, as you see, [
rub the lather Off, and the grease spot i'm
mediately disappears. There is no yes
tlge Of it left This fluid, gentlemen. I
call the Lightning Renovator and Grease
Spot Annihilator. l warrant it perfectly
harmless, and all l ask for it is % cents a
bottle. Who wants once Here il is.
Thank you. Here's another. Thank YOU.
Remember, gentlemen, | guarantee the
fluid to be absolutely harmless. Thank
you. Here it is. One at a time, gentle
men; one at time"

DAUGHTERS OF VIRGINIA.-Among
the most interesting reports read be-
fore the congress in Washington Of the
National Society of the Daughters of
the American Revolution was that of
the regent of the Mount Vernon Chap

tablished a few months ago in the home
of Washington, is now in a most flour
ishjng state of existence, and, in some
respects, takes precedence overall other
chapters. Applicants for admission are
being continually refused. as it is in
tended TO limit the membership to the
descendants of those famous Nirglnlans
whose names are so closely entwined
with the history of the revolution, and
who We're the personal friends aud ad-
visers of Gen. Washington. Mrs. Mo
ran, former regent of Albemarie,
through whose untiring efforts the
chapter was organized, is herself a
prominent member of the Washington
family. She is also the author of that
clever little book, Miss Washington OF
Virginia, the proceeds Of the sales OF
which she has donated to the funds for
the memorial nall to be built by the
National Society in commemoration OF
their fathers of the Revolution. Miss

BENT ON SUIcIDE.-A gatekeeper at
the B. & P. depot in Washington bare
ly prevented a young woman from cast
ing herself under the wheels of a NOV
ing train yesterday evening. She hal
purchased a ticket for New York and
had missed several trains. About three
o'clock she entered the car she'd and
started toward a train about to leave
for her destination. When neal the
cars she threw aside her satchel and
undertook to jump between the cars,
when a gatekeeper, who had followed
her, caught hold of her and frustrated
the rash purpose. The woman acted
as though %demented, lad a vacant
stare in her eyes and would talk but
little. She was finally taken in GUS
tody, and after much difficulty it was
learned that she was a native of C0pen-
hagen, that she was a married woman
and that her name is Smith. Nothing
further could be gotten from her, eX-
cept hat she is a nurse by occupation.
One of the physicians who examined
the woman said she was evidently suf-
fering from Il dose of choral which had
temporarily unhinged her mental pow
ers. She will be held until her friends
are discovered.
