"A couple of years later the battle ground was

KINDLING--CLOTHES,

Recent inventions in the line Of raiment
ought to prove a boon to GROCER, the
bookkeeper," and others who find them
selves concerned about the necessities OF
life.
Clothing is now being made from
wood, the pulp of which is so treated in
the process as to render it admirably suit
ed TO this new purpose. The resulting
substance is said TO be in appearance
equal to suiting Of good quality and easi-
ly adapted to any fashionable cut. More
over, II is cheap-much cheaper than
woollen cloth. 1t looks as IL the future
significance of "being measured for a
wooden overcoat" would carry with it no
suggestion of an undertaker's shop.
Still another enterprising genius comes
forward with stockings made Of paper
and retailing at three cents pair.
One is led to speculate on the immense
domestic benefit likely to be derived from
these two inventions. With the bulk of
the family wardrobe manufactured at low
cost from wood and paper pulp, what is
to hinder the variety and amount of
clothing from satisfying the now fire.
quently humiliated ambition of this
clothes-wearing animal, man? The pater-
families who finds the drain upon his
purse something trying in consequence
OF the cost OF costuming his wife and
daughter may now pluck up courage.
Wooden gowns promise to be cheap and
popular. And the woman who breads the
weekly mending basket will draw sigh
ofrelief. For, OF course, with hose at
two pairs for a nickel, IT would be utter
folly to spend ones time weaving intri-
cate designs in the place where JOSEPH
HENRY, Jr. s. toes have made an opening
for themselves.
Under this wood and paper regime the
Monday wash becomes tradition OF the
elders. Who would think OF paying q
laundress double the cost of the articles
to be laundered? None Of us, of course;
we shall simply bundle Saturdays cast.
of garments into the kindling barrel and
use them for fire wood next morning.
The four necessities comprise food. fuel.
shelter and clothing. And here is half
that vexing problem solved for us-cloth-
ing and fuel rolled into one-"a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" the
focusing and simplifying of half our ma
terial needs.
With the necessity Of wood-splitting
superseded by the easy method OF using
ones discarded garments for fuel, the
preparation of kindling over night ceases
to be a daily stumbling block to the
otherwise even temper of the family man.
Exterminate the nuisance and fatigue of
those two bug bears -wash-day and
mending day-and house keeping be-
comes comparatively simple.
What may we not expect from woman
kind with this extra time. and, incident
ally, extra money at their disposal?
1t seems probable that with this easing
up OF the drudgery in certain lines of
housework the market of domestic SER
vice might become more than well-stock-
ed, and the present dearth OF "good
help be remedied.
little wood and paper, judiciously
and ingeniously applied, may prove the
bane for many modern domestic ills. II

tions so timely and 40 suggestive OF de- |

MEXIco CITY. Mexico. Jan. 27.-If Mex
Ico is pushed into a fight over he nterna-
tional boundary, her policy wall be as out
lined from the first hv President ID az and
his cabinet, TO the effect that this dispute
and other little matters vii. bc settled
once and forever, and the necessary
means used TO that end. 1t rs prophesicd
in some quarters that Mexico will settle
the boundary line nv quietly appropriate
ing the whole of the Guaiemalan republic
as part of Mexico, with the City OF Mexico
as its capital and with the chief executive
OF this republic as its ruler. The Mexican
authorities decline TO d scuss this matter,
however. and il Is exceedingly probable
that such proposition has not been seri-
ously considered except us n last resort,
and after oil other plans for reconciia-
tion have failed.
In an interview with the Salvadorean
minister, Don Jacinto Castellanos. he
said he considers the final declaration of
war against Guatemala as calamity
which ought to he averted If possible and
which, he thinks, will be averted by tho
final recognition of justice.
Tho official daily of the Mexican gov
ernment states that the late attempt of
the attaches of the Guatemalau lcga lion
10 visit the government arms factory was
not made in company with the Italian
minister, but with Carlos Iowa, the for
mer first secretary of the Mexican lega-
ton in Guatemala, and later in itaiy.
The position of the government Is
that ii Guatemala or any other nation q -
sres to see the preparations for war now
being made in the government arms fac
tory, Mexico has nothing 10 hide. and will
give free admission and liberty OF full in
spection to the representatives of such
countries.
General Pedro Hinojosa, secretary of
war and navy, has gone to Vera Cruz
ostenslbly for his health. Tho troops are
being concentrated at all Pacific coast
and gulf ports, aud the government has
chartered two merchantmen IN Acapulco.
CITY OF MEXloo, Jan. 27.-The situa-
tion Is unchanged to-day. Both Mexico
and Guatemala are going on with war
preparations and prominent Mex cans
think the outlook very gloomy for peace.
The city is quiet tonight, although in
.he lobbies of the hotels and wherever
groups are gathered the topic discussed Is
the Guatemalan question. Yet the eN-
citement has to n large extent abated.
The president and his officers Of the cabi-
net have been considering Gultemala's 5
last document for several days. 1t is be-
lieved it is not satisfactory to Mexico.
Preparations for war are being made 10y
both countries, but there seems tonight
TO be an undercurrent of opinion that the
trouble may be diplomaticaily avoided.
Semi-officIally it is announced that the
warship reported as having been sent to
Guatemala sailed for another port.

WASHINGTON, Jan. = Tho members of
congress who believe the income tax an
equitable method of raising the revenues
are GratifeI At the uuexpecteliy good
showing of the preliminary canvass made
by the col eCi,rs of Internal revenue at
the direction OF Secretary Carlisle. They
believe the greater tho amount realized
from this tax tAe moro popular il will be-
come and the more firmly rooted as a
part of the policy of the government.
Representative McMiIlin OF Tennessee
says that if a large per cent. of the reye-
nue. of the government Is received from
this plan any attempt 10 repeal IL before
the expiration of the iive-year limit fixed
in the Wilson bill will be exceedingly uu-
popular; that the greater the revenue de-
rived from it,, the greater will be the paub-
ability of the reenactment of 1t AZ tic end
of its term.

OMAHA, Jan. IA special to tho Bee
from Lincoln, Ncb., says Senator Man
derson has advised President Mason of
the relief commission that the depart
ment of agriculture Will ship to him mail
sacks containing the senator's entire
quota of garden and he'd seeds, amount
ing to about 1900 papers. Tho senator
writes: "If you see fit to distribute them
from your own cflicc, all that will be nec-
essary to do will be to put the name and
postotIico address of the recipients upon
the packages. / understand Representa-
tivcs Hainer and Meyer will send you all
of heirs and Representatives Bryan and
Meiklejohn and Senator Allen will send
you part of theirs. Tue agricultural de-
partment will also send a large amount
from the department supply and from
contributions from other members of
congress"
This to a considerable extent will solvo
the question of seed grain. This question
has been a source of much specul alton
among the Nebraska peoplc. Whne the
present resources are SUN ,Ient to feed
and clothe Nebraska's destitute, little
provision bad been made for seed grain.
Now it is believed the thousan Is of
bushels annually distributed by the agri-
cultural department through the various
congressman and senators will DO sent TO
Nebraska by common consent.

LONDON, Jan. PA dispatch to tho

Armenia and Asia Minor is proceeding as
vigorously as before, adding that the
Turkish newspapers are evidently under
orders 10 keep down the excitement and
it is extremely difficult TO get information
from the interior. If the present crisis is
prolonged, it is probable that there will be
trouble in Macedonia in the spring, and
if they are serious, Bulgaria, Greece and
Servia will inevitably be involved aud the
eastern question will be raised in its most

In the senate This Week.
WAsHINGroN, Jan. 27.-Tne week in the
senate vail open with renewal of the
d discussion of the Hawaiian question
which promises to become the subject or
several very animated speeches before II
shal! be definitely disposed of. The
adoption OF the Vest amen lment to the
Alien resolution instead of discouragiug
the antagonists Of tho admins ration had
apparently the effect of spurrIug them 70
even a more strenuous and pronounced
opposition. They express themselves as
hopeful OF reversing the verd CT OF Satur-
day, when the next vote shall be reached,
winch will be on the flnal adoption of the
substitute.
Senator Teller will iuaugurate the dis
cusslou with a continuance of his speech
begun yesterday. The Hawaiian qucs-
ton will he confined to the first hours of
the DAYS session aud will, at the expira-
ton of It's time, give way 20 other sub
jects. The bankruptcy btn has been given
the position of unfinished business and
viii occupy the attention for the greater
part of tue week.
Senator George will inaugurate the de-
bate with n speech on Monday. He ex-
poets the measure to encounter very
pronounced opposition and IN this will not
bo d disappointed, as the majority of the
eastern and the northern senators will be
found 20 be against the bill When tho
bill IS disposed of the senate will probably
proceed to consider the pooling bill. II
the threatened conflict between tn and
the territorial adm sslon bills should oc-
cur, the majority of the repub-
Lean senators would support the
faction favorable to taking up the
pooling bill and would probably turn the
tables in its favor.
There are appropriation bills now before
the senate but these remaining unacted

reported during the week, and it is said
