Hammond Afraid of His Prosecution
and His Wife Friendless.
NEW YORK, August 26.-A reason why
Louis Hammond and his wife of two weeks
concluded to end their lives by taking
choral at the American House, Boston,
Saturday. YVES given today by Mr.. Ham.
mond's former partner, Irving Bitner, and
by Mrs. John ODcnnell. Mr.. Bitner said:
Saturday, July q, I bought Hammond
out. We dissolved partnership, and on the
following Monday 1 discovered that on the
Friday previous he had drawn from the
bank q considerable sum of money belong
ing to the firm. 1 took no legal steps
against him Maybe 1 should have done
so if I could have found him. In all prob
ability 1t was the fear of this which drove
him to suicide I cannot see, however,
how he could have become so quickly bank
rupt unless he specula ted"
Mrs. O'Donnell and Miss ODonnell say:
"Out of work, friendless except for US,
1t seems she chung to this man Hammond

Four Washington Communicates Of
the Knights.
ESCORTED TO THElR QUARTERS
Preparing for a Notable Demon
STATION.
HALF A MILLION EXPECTED


BOSTON. August 26.-Four communicates
of the District of Columbia and their wives
and friends arrived here this morning
about 10 o'clock. Tie trip from home was
made without serious mishap, and all thor
oughly enjoyed the ride. Owing to the
change of arrangements by the manage
ment of the steamer Connecticut, the par
ty did not leave the New York pier until
7:30 o'clock. and were consequently cheated
out of the daylight ride up East river But
the Illumination of the city in the evening
made up in part for the disappointment.
Washington Commandery was received
here by Oivet Commandery of Lynn,
Mass, while the other organizations from
the District of Columbia were escorted to
their several hotels by details of local
Communicates.
Washington Conmandery is housed at
the Adams House: Columbia at Castle
Square Hotel; Potomac, at Brigham Hotel,
and De Mol&y, at Copley Square Hotel.
The Mount Pleasant Field Band accompan-
led Washington Commandery. and evoked
much applause during the march to the
hotel.
AL Of the Washingtonians are sightseeing
or resting today. Preparations for the pa
rade tomorrow are NEST elaborate, and.
weather permitting. the demonstration will
be the most notable one in the history of
the Knights Templar.
Sir A. S. Johnson of De Molay injured his
hand on the train coming from Washing
ton yesterday. But his wound was dressed,
and he hopes to take part in the parade.
large number of the Washingtonians'
advance guard of District knights were at
the station to meet the train, and some
went as far as Providence to extend greet
ings.

THE TARIFF AND NOT SILVER
Mr.. Cleveland Said Not to Consider the
Money Question an Issue.
Problems for the Coming Campaign
To Fight Republicans ON
Old Lines.

1t Is believed by some very careful OBJ
servers Of political matters that 1t Is a
mistaken idea which the public generally
appear to hold that Mr.. Cleveland wants
the money question to be the issue in the
presidential campaign. Quite the con-
trary ID said to be true. Mr.. Cleveland
regards the money question as settled, as
far as the coinage of silver Is concerned,
and wants only that it shall stay settled as
he has it. The efforts being put forth by
the administration are simply to prevent
the free-silver men from having any voice
in the arrangement of the next campaign.
1t is believed that he has no design to
have a gold plank put in the next demo-
cratic platform, but that he will be per-
fectly satisfied to have the straddle plank
the question treated as the civil service
reform was in his last campaign,
dead issue-a thing already settled.
1t is not believed that he wants the Ques-
ton given any prominence, and that when
the convention meets proposition OF the
administration men will be to avoid
question on which the party is divided
The tariff question is said to be what Mr..
Cleveland regards as still the issue between
the two parties and the one on which the
fight of '96 must be made. The purpose
will be to claim that much prosperity has
followed from the little reduction of tariff
that vast benefits would follow complete
revision of the tariff according to the Cleve-
Wilson theories. In his let
ter denouncing the Senate tariff bill, which
became a law. the letter in which he spoke
of the deadly blight of treason" he said
that the tariff reformers should be exhorted
to continue the struggle, and much moro
to the same purpose.
The business Revival,
In making use Of the apparent revival
Of business as a weapon with which to
strike down any movement to get an ex-
preston in favor of free coinage in the
party platform, it is not believed that the
administration people want to be under
stood as accepting the tariff legislation of
the last Congress as satisfactory or con-
elusive. Mr. Cleveland Is not understood
to hold that the democrats can rest there.
He would make fight for more tariff
form, and have the revenue question. the
issue of next years battle. With this in
view. he is said to favor the nomination of
a conspicuous tariff reformer by the demo-
Gratis next year-either Carlisle, Morrison,
Wilson or himself. With some the opinion
prevails that he regards himself as the
est champion to attack the deadly blight
of treason"
The Tariff Question.
The republicans generally would be well
satisfied to have the contest over again
en- the tariff question. 1t is regarded a.
not unlikely. in view of the condition of
the treasury ard recommendations that
will be made by the President for increase
of revenue, that this question will be made
to occupy chief attention during the COM
ing ,ssion. and this will favor Mr.. Cleve-
lands design.

bottles. but no supply of liquor.
Michael King, the owner of the property
complains that in making the raid the
police broke lock off the door and tore up
the woodshed flooring. This, Mr.. King
thinks, he had no right to do, and this af-
ternoon he swore out a warrant in the
Police Court against Sergt. Daley, charging
him with destroying private property. The
liquor case was in court today, and at the
request of Sergt. Daley was continued until
Thursday. 1t is likely that both cases will

No Discount" for one,

BoRAx.--Sprinkle places infest-
ed by ants with borax and you will
soon be rid os them.
Blankets and furs put away we'll
sprinkled with borax and done up
alright will never be troubled with
moths.
A little borax put in the water
before washing red or red -bordered
tablecloths and napkins will pre-
vent their fading.
Ringworms will yield to borax
treatment. Apply strong solution
Of borax three times a day also
dust on the dry powder very often.
Silver spoons and forks in daily
use may be kept bright by leaving
them in strong borax water several
hours. The water should be boil
ing when they are put in.
Put a teaspoonful of borax in
your rinsing water it will whiten
the clothes and also remove the yell
low cast OF garments that have been
laid aside for two or three years.
One of the best things to cleanse
the scalp thoroughly is to dissolve
one-half teasPconful Of borax in
quart of water and apply it, rubbing
it ir we'll. Rinse thoroughly in
clear water.
For washing fine nice .Aanasls-
nothing will cause them to look so
nice as borax in the water, O table
spoonful of borax to a pail Of water
being the right proportion. Always
wash baby's flannel skirts. shirts,
etc., in this.
Always wash baby's mouth and
gums every morning with water in
which you have put pinch Of
borax. 1t keeps the mouth fresh
and sweet and prevents that uncom-
Portable affiiction, a sore mouth
with which so many poor babies are
troubled when their mouths arc not
kept perfectly clean.
Borax water Is excellent for
sponging either silk or wool goods
that are not soiled enough to need
washing. In washing cashmere or
wool goods put little borax in the
water. This will cleanse them
much more easily and better with
out injury to the colors. DO not
rub them on a board, but use the
hands and throw on a line without
wriaging. Press them on the
wrong side and they will look al
most like new.
