Mrs James Allen Thrown From a Wagon
 and Seriously Hurt.
 An exciting runaway occurred this after noon. James Mclaughlin, who keeps hack and public carriag office at 16S East Main street, and his sister, Mrs James Allen of Long Hill. were driving down West Side hill behind one of McLaughlin's spirited gray horses. The carriage ran on to the horses heels and taking the bit in his teeth the animal dashed down the hill and up West Main street on a dead run. Mclaughlin was unable to control him. Near the park the wagon collided with ano- ther team wrecking two wheels. The horse continued along the north side of the green and turned sharply in front of the Fremont house. At Hewitt's store both occupants were thrown head first upon the curb stone. Mclaughlin struggled to his feet, the blood flowing from bad cut on his head. Mrs Allen was picked and carried into Dexter's drug store. Dr Crane was called and had the womau removed to his office. Her nose was almost fractured and she had many bruises on the head and body. After her wounds were dressed she was taken to her home. The horse with the remains of the buggy dashed down through the square. At Turner's crossing a woman by quick work saved child who was in the way of the runaway. On Scovill street the horse was captured.

How to Cleanse Red Tablecloths.

Turkey red cloths, if of good quality, will wash without fading, but it is a wise precaution to put handful of black pepper in the first wash water for any colored napery.
 Red cloth must not be starched. For buff or cream ones, use starch colored with clear black coffee. Very delicate tints are somewhat preserved by soak ing before washing in sugar of lead wa ter for half an hour.
 Very fine or delicate doilies are best cleaned with naphtha.
 Lay them in a white earthen vessel and cover with the fluid; agitate rapid ly. If all the dirt is not removed, put into another vessel and pour on more naphtha. They will of course need sev- eral days airing to be rid of the smell.
 If not too much soiled, they may be pinned out on table covered with sheet and strewn thickly with powdered cornstarch. Rub it we'll in, let it re- main half an hour, then brush off with a soft brush, after which lay your doi lies a few minutes in the sun or before the stove and shake or beat out against the hands the little starch that clings to them.
 Embroidered bits, such as traycloths, center pieces and carving cloths. may be cleaned by covering them with good white soapsuds and setting them for two hours in sunshine, after which rinse and hang to drain, without wringing, and iron as directed for an embroidered cloth.

It Declares the Fight Will Take Place In
 Spite of Governor Mitchell.
 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Jan. 9.-The long looked for statement by the Duval Athletic club has been issued. It is as follows:
 Attorney General Lamar, speaking for himself and also for the governor having declared that the Corbett-Mitchell contest will not take place in Florida, it is now proper that we inform the public that neither the attorney general nor the gov ernor possesses any judicial power, and to add that the state officers, acting under the direction of the executive, have refused to allow any judicial determination by the courts of the law which, it is claimed, the contest will violate, and to that end we have caused the prosecution, originated for the purpose of testing the law, to be dis missed; and, further that the executive ot the state, possessing the constitutional pre- rogative of asking the opinion of the high est judicial tribunal of the state as to the construction of the statute, has declined to do so.
 1.-The public is hereby assured that the contest will take place as advertised; that no plans have been formed or steps taken and that none will be by either the gov ernor or attorney general to stop this con test, and that tickets can be bought with the confidence that it will take place under the conditions signed"
 The announcement has stirred up no lit- tie excitement in Jacksonville Friends of the club say that the Duval people are showing great nerve, while opponents claim that it will bring down the wrath of the governor in short order The result is awaited with no little interest

HOW TO FRAME AND HANG PICTURES

Rales For Regulating Selections For Cot
 tage or City Drawing Room.
 The pictures must suit the size of the room, the purpose to which the room is put and its furnishing. In drawing room the decorations should be excel lent works of art, and the walls should not be crowded. One at least should be large enough to show by itself on an extended wall space. Smaller ones may be grouped. A parti colored wall kills the loveliest of pictures. When the pie lures are too choice to hang in an infe- rior room, first drape the decorated wall with some rich dark stuff, extending the drapery sufficiently far to have the re- lief needed. The color and quality of the drapery must of course be deter mined by tho predominant color of the room.
 In a library, large hall or dining room etchings and engravings are most suitable, and if possible have an en- graving of Turner, or a more modern etching. In framing, avoid gorgeous ness, and above all things reject those coarse rough stamped frames, gilt or sill vered. Too much gold in picture frames is disastrous. Metal frames of fine work manship only can be used, but they should be neither massive nor over wrought. They are absurdities when combined with small pictures.
 Prints especially should not be in- serted in gilded frames. They should have mats not too wide, of thick toned paper, surrounded by Hat frames of oak or cherry. A small fine picture on mat of rich dark velvet may show with in the mat narrow gilt molding. The whole should then be inclosed in glazed box of dark wood. On a light wall black framed picture is blot, also vice versa In both cases a medium tone should be used in order to harmon ize with background and picture.
 Flat frames are suitable for water colors. Small prints or water colors may be grouped side by side, the same narrow frame inclosing each and sur rounding all, and one glass covers the group. These are most suitable for sit ting rooms and bedchambers. Picture wires are necessary. For artistic eff fects and cleanliness suspend them per pendicularly on level with the eyes of person of average height, and pre- serve the photographs of friends in the privacy of ones own room.
