Cleaning Kid Gloves.

As SoOn as the flannel becomes Soiled exchange it for a clean piece. Do not use enough benzine to saturate the lEathCr, but simply enough to clean of the SOiled spots. Rub the glove from the finger tips generally 6QYRYaEd ,apd. QpWard and not in a cir clean flannel until il seems perfectly dry.
 Only the very highest quality of ben zine. or better still. of gasoline. can be used. When tho gloves arc thoroughly cleaned. rub them with clean flannel and abundance of talcun powder. This powder can Ec bought uf any first class drug store, and 10 cents worth Is Ordi- narily enough for years supply. Rub the leather thoroughly ill every part with this talcum powder. This. says the New York Tribune. makes the glove not only pliahlc and pleasant to wC.Ir. like q new glove. but it puts soft bloom on the leather. which takes away all suggestion of the cleaning pr,VeSs, It cannot, how ever, restore tho gloss on the dressed kid gloves.

 You see the town has an ordinance forbidding bicycle riding on the side walks. A good many wheelmen go that way, so what does this justice do but scuop out hole and make great big mud puddle clear across the street right in front Of his office Of course when q whcclman comes along. rather than ride through the mud, he turns upon the side walk That s what the justice Is wait ing for. He has constable on the watch. and the two rush out and nab the cyclrr.

 This seemed to strike both of the par ties to the bet as fair, and repairing to dealer on Madison street who rents phonographs they explained to him the situation. He fell ill with the fun of the thing, and ranged the combatants up i'll front of a couple of recorders, and at given signal they started off as if the very deuce was after them.

 He held this wheat, which amounted to alo 900 tons in the warehouse paying $50, 900 monthly storage dues. Not until after his death was there any move to un- load 1t Since then about 40, 900 tons have been sold. but yesterday the hugo bulk of this wheat amounting to l76, 900 tons. was sold to George W.

 PEovIpENCE, May SO The strike situ- atiun in OlneyVillo was advanced another stage when both sides of the controversy were heard from. A notice was posted in the Atlantic mills which read as follows
 The Atlantic mills will start on Mon day. Juno ; at the usual hour. Members of the Textile union and others active in the strike need not apply, as they will not be employed. We expect to do in the flu ture as we havo dono in the past-pay as high wages as the condition of our trade will permit. When it is possible for trades unions to establish the price of goods in the market then 1t will bc quito timo for them to dictate what wages will he paid.
 This Is believed to bo the first decisive stroke on tho part of tho manufacturers to crush tho union, and it is expected that a similar action will be taken by all tho mills A member of the Manufacturers club stated that the manufacturers were prepared to keep the mills closed until every operative was actually starved out of Olneyvlla \ meeting of the strikers will be held today to meet this new issue
 Early in the day before the notice in the Atlantic mills was posted the executive committee of tho strikers Issued a state ment to the effect that they have been and always will be ready to meet the manufacturers when they so desire to eff feet if possible, a satisfactory adjustment of the troubles now existing.
 Five hundred striking Atlantic mill weavers voted unanimously hy secret bal lot to remain away from their looms next Monday morning, when the mills reopen.
