An excellent mixture for removing
grease spots and stains from carpets and
clothing is made of two ounces of am

one ounce of glycerine, one ounce of
ether. Cut the soap in small pieces and
dissolve it in one pint of water over the
fire; then add two quarts of water. This
should then be mixed with more water,
IN the proportion of a teacupful to one
ordinary sized pail of water. The soiled
articles are then washed thoroughly in
this. If grease or oil is spilled on a
carpet sprinkle -four or fine meal over
the spot as soon as possible; let it re-

THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY.
The Smith Heresy Case and the Seminar
les Under Discussion.

SARATOGA, N. Y, May ,26.-The
Presbyterian General Assembly was oc-
cupied with miscellaneous business Tor
the first half hour OF its opening ses-
sion to-day. The report from the joint
committe on home and foreign missions
upon the proposed new mission mouse
in New York was presented, and lts
recommendation adopted afeer orlel
protest by Elder McDougsll, OF Gin
cinnati. The Rev. DR.. Hills, OF Evans
town, HIS, entered a protest against
the action of the General Assembly on
the subject OF theological seminaries, on
behalf ol himself and about thirty 9TH
ers. The grounds named in the protest
were the sane as those which had been
presented in the debate on the subject
early in the week. The Assembly then
listened to an address by DIR. Peter
Stryker, representing the Reformed
Church. Congratulatory messages were
read from the United Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly, in session at Albany,
Oregon. Soon after 10 o'clock the AS
sembly took up the calling OF the roll
for the expression of individual opinion
upon the Smith case, beginning with
the synod of Indiana, where adjourn
ment left the Assembly.
A protest against control OF theo-
logical seminaries was made, based
upon the assembly's declaration In 1859
that such control is not within its
rightful Jurisdiction and upon an ac-
tion in 1870. declaring it impracticaole
and undesirable. 1t was further op-
posed because the proper place for it
is in the PresoYtery and be-
cause it would reflect upon any
seminary that refuses to comply
with the proposals of complete control
over professors and directors. The OBJ
lection was also urged that constitu-
tional change should precede the acqui-
sition of the power now proposed. The
paper contained forty names, and 9TH
ers were added during the session.
Before adjournment 9l speeches on
the Smith case had been delivered, two
OF them of uncertain tenor, twenty-five
in favor of sustaining the appeal In
whole or In part, and forty-seven op-
posed TO such action.

executive Of the State thould preserve
the peace of the commonwealth even II
it should become necessary TO call out
the entire military force OF the State.
II the peace cannot be preserved other

Of public order, including the said

with, that the dignity OF the State may

All commandants of military posts
throughout the State have been noti-
fed to hold themselves in readiness for
an active service call.
Governor Waite said to-day: at is
my duty TO stop this row. l shall prob
ably to-day issue a proclamation calling
on all armed citizens 10 resume their
daily avocations and upon all lawless
bodies 10 diSperse. Those men from
Denver. who are under arms at Cripple
Creek, are, TO my mind, rioters aud an
illegal body. In directing all illegal
bodies to disperse, these deputies must
take cognizance OF the warning just as
must any and all other bodies"
AT the sheriff's Office In this county
the Governors proclamation is regarded
with more dread than the possibility Of
a conflict with the miners. "Sherih
Bowers will not disperse his men, If he
is the man 1 think he is, " began Sheriff
Burchinell, ''at least / would not do 1t.
The Governor may entertain ga anorch-
istic view OF the laws OF Colorado, but,
as q sheriff, believe l can deputize
men regardless OF where they come from
or belong"
1t has been learned that large guam
titles of arms and ammunition have
been shipped from Denver to the Grip
pie Creek strikers during the past
week. Two consiRnments consisted
each Of 500 guns and so, 600 rounds Of
ball cartridges.
The Cripple Creek mine owners are
engaging men in this city and else
where TO work at the rate Of SO per
day Of nine hours. About 30 Common
weslers hired in this city lef. for
Florence on the morning train under
charge OF sx-Adjutant General Ken
nedy. It is said several hundred quarry
men and miners have been engaged at
Pueblo, Colorado Springs and other
places who will be shipped to the mines
to-day.

PARKERsBURG, May 26.-At Criminal
Court this morning the decision Of
Judge jackson concerning the state
ment made by Sallie Amiss prior to her
death to Drs. Sharp and Frame, in
which She accused DR.. +. c. Dennison
Of performing a criminal operation on
ber, as to whether it should be admit
ted before the jury as proper testimony
or not, was delivered to a court room In
which every available space was occu-
pied. The larses crowd that has been
in attendance since the case came to
trial was present, and the interest taken
was something remarkable.
Judge jackson decided that the state
ment made by the girl before her death
was not her dying declaration, as she
did not know or have any intimation OF
an approaching end, and therefore it
could not be permitted to go in evil
dence before the jury. The jury was
then brought into the court room and
several witnesses for the State were ex-
amined, but the prosecution, depending
mainly on the admission OF the state
ment, decided that they could not con-
vict the prisoner, and so stated to the
court. The prosecution then threw up
the case and verdict Of not guilty was
directed by the court, and the jury re-
turned it without leaving their seats.
Dennison was then discharged.
The family Of the dead girl have
streDuously objected to the prosecution
Of Dennison, and many peculiar cir
cumstances have arisen by the position
thew have taken,

DENVER, Col, May Ex-Governor
Waite does not hesitate to declare that
his sympathies are with the striking
miners at Cripple Creek. He asked the
Attorney General for an opinion as to
the right of a sheriff 10 obtain an armed
-force from another county than that iD
which be is an officer. The Attorney
General has returned written opinion
That the organization Of an armed
force Of men in ArhphOe county TO
march to or enter FL PasO county for
the purpose alleged is conspiracy to do
|or aid in an unlawful act, and al per-
sons members Of such armed force or
cooperating to organize or to send or
transport the same into one county
IfrOm another, are guilty OF a conspiracy
to do an unlawful act, and the deputiz-
line Of such men to act as deputy sher-
y Is by the sheriff Of Fl Paso county is
blation Of law"
