PHILADELPHIA, Feb 2l.-After passage
of great severity occupying 81 days the
British tank steamer Baku Standard, Cap
tain Brown, arrived at Point Breeze. She
was propelled across by steam generated
by the use of oil instead of coal, and the
undertaking was n perfect success. The
Baku Standard met with hurricanes and
heavy seas throughout, and from Jan. IS
until the 29th she was hove to in a hUrri-
cane from the west-nOrthwt It, during
which time she drove to leeward $50 miles.
On Feb. s, in latitude 1870 longitude

slaughter.
The trial of Shultz has created a great
deal of interest. In July, 1898, a quarre!
arose between Shultz AMI Frank kreger
of Guttenburg Hudson county, concerning
the action of Governor Altgeld of Illinois
in pardoniEg the Chicago anarchists.
ShultZ denounced the governors action,
while Kreiger defended it. This resulted
in a very heated argument, during which
ShultZ took occasion to speak gloWingly of
the American flag.
kreiger said, "D--tha American flag"
Shultz called upon Kreiger to take back
the remark, but he rep ated it with more
Vehemeuce than before, whereupon ShultH
knocked him down. Kreiger's head hit
the barrail as he fell, and his skull was
fractured. He died in IL few days.
After the jury was released Juror Costcr-
man, who stood out alone for conviction
of manslaughter, told his fellow jurors
while they We're at dinner in a restaurant
that, being Il secessionist, he held that any
man who defended the Union cause during
the civil war was guilty of murder.

How to Keep Lamps Clean.

The lamps should be wiped with
cheesecloth. The wiclls should be trim

card or with poker, heated redhot

method is Il little troublesome, but it
removes the charred pant evenly. Wick8

do not become very short. grow thick
and are apt to give forth an unpleasant
odor. They should be renewed once
month at least. In duplex burners one
wick should be trimmed i'll the opposite
direction from the other. Round wlcks
should be trimmed toward the center.
Burners should be wiped free from bits
of charred wick and drops Of oil every
day. Every now and then they should
be boiled in strong sOapsuds to make
them perfectly clean. When they have
been used long time, they need replac-

HOW TO WEAR WELLS.
They Should BE Becoming First and Fash
innahlG 4 fl onward.

They Should BE Becoming First and Fash
ionable Afterward.
A veil must be bought with the idea
of its becomingness first and its fashion
second. Try it before glass when pur-
chasing. A lightly dotted veil Is more
becoming than plain net. When black
is unbecOming, or all white, try the
black and white solid colors. y golden
brown, having cream chenille dots, Is
a very factoring veil. y fine net, hay
ing Jet or iridcsccnt beads, is another
face improvcr;' also tiny mesh,
having lace on applique figures and a
border. Borders are very stylish, but
must be worn correctly. Put the LOr-
der below the chin.
Blond lace has been restored to favor
and is thought to be the most elegant
among the laces shown in wells.
The edge of blond lace wells shows
deep scallop formed hy the rose pat
tern. With large hats it is adjusted SO
as to bring the veil into Il dropping cf-
feet all around the edge of the brim.
A yard and an eighth is not too much
of the cubic width material for Il large
hat. The shaped wells are bought by
the veil, and only a toque or walking
hat will admit Of single width veil
ing, which is drawn on smoothly, but
never tight. Wells are put over the hat
and pinned at the back, just below the
hat or half way to the napc of the neck.
1t should look smooth, but easy to fit.
A border veil must be put on so that
the border comes below the chin. a
large veil over big hat is put over the
brim cIosswisc of the material, with
few soft folds at the top. and the rest of
the width is caught under the chin III Il
loose drapcry, which is all carried to
the back and fastened i'll il puffy knot
with a stickpin. No folds on wrinkles
must appear over tn" face, yet 1t should
be gracefully loose.
Fashionable women are WI arlnT white
wells, not only with dreS"y hats, but
simple ones too. Some Of these wells
are in white lace, others i'll fancy net,
others again in very fine white gauzo.

MOBBED.
Boston Anarchists Tried to Stir
Up a Riot.
THE LEGISLATORS THREATENED.
Thousands of Unemployed Men Led by
Asitatnr Up to Capital Hill, Where a
Demonstration Was Made That at One
Time Looked Serious.


Boston, Feb. 21.-The unemployed trou-
bles in this city eliminated in a demon
str;,tion on the Common which for a time
threatened to end in a riot Five thousand
men, hungry, ragged and ugly, crowded
into the statehOuSe and the adjoining
grounds and vociferously demanded imme-
date aid in their distress. The governor
addressed the mob from the steps of the
statehouse and was quietly received and
even applauded, although he made no sat
isfactory answer to their requests.
An attempt was then made by the lead
ers of the demonstration to get Il petition
before the legislature, which was then in
session, but the rules precluded this, and
then things began to look serious. The ro-
tunda was packed with crowd of men
waiting to hear the result of their leaders
efforts to present their grievances to the
assembled solons when Morrison |. Swift,
an avowed anarchist and spokesman of the
mob, appeared in one of the balconies and
told them that the Legislature had refused
10 accept their petition. They broke into
yells of derision and Kisses of contempt. =,
Harangued by an Anarchist.
Swift leaned over the balcony railing and
launched forth into an imprisoned TRADE
against the legislators, who, he said, were

keepers seemed paralyzed with fear, and

ments before was mingling with the mob,
