CURL YOUR OWN FEATHERS.
How This Necessary Operation May Be
 Easily and ExcelIentIy Done.

How This Necessary Operation May Be
 Easily and ExcelIentIy Done.
 There are few things that give a hat more rumpled and shabby ap. pearance than an ostrich feather limp and dejected, looking almost as for lorn as when it and its fellows arrived here fresh from ostrichland. Anyone seeing an ostrich feather then would think it only fit for the ragbag, but a series of brisk scrubbings in warm soapsoads on a washboard, a judicious patching together and elimination of ragged places where Sir Ostrich has preened himself too vigorously, curl. ing and combing, soon make of the os' trich feather a thing of beauty and joy yforever-until itgets wet-when the process of rejuvenation again becomes necessary.
 If taken to my lady milliner or the less pretentious feather renovatoI every time this duty becomes impera> tive, the ostrich plume becomes meta. morphosed into something of an ele, phant to one who bears not Fortunatus' purse; but the restorative process is SC simple, when one knows just how, that every woman can readily become her own feather artist"
 Have teakettle full of boiling wateri shake the feather vigorously through the escaping steam, taking care thatit does not get too damp. This livens up the plume and restores brilliancy if il has become dull and dusty. Next take a silver fruit-knife and, beginning with the feathers nearest the quill, take small. bunch between thumb and fore. finger and draw gently over the blade of the knife until they curl as closely as desired. Follow this process up each side of the tip; then take very coarse comb, comb out carefully, and you have your plume as good as ever.-N. Y. Times

HUNTING FOR REVENUE.
Democrats In n Quandary Regarding Funds
 to Meet Expenses.

to Meet Expenses.
 In spite of all promises to the con trary, and in spite of democratic declar- ations that improved business condi- tions would bring sufficient revenue to the government, .the officers of the treasury department are brought face to face with the fact that the deficit is increasing, and that there is a grow ing prospect that the gold reserve will again be depleted.
 In this condition of affairs the au- thorities will be called upon to pre- pare some recommendations for rais- ing revenue to be submitted to the in coming republican congress. In view of the boasts made regarding the ability of the Wilson-Gorman act to raise sufficient revenues, such recom- mendation will be anything but pleas ing work but nevertheless it will have to be done.
 It has been suggested that an in- crease in the tax on beer would bring thirty-two million dollars additional to the treasury, but the brewing interest is so strong with this administration NAiNiO AI 10 bSiiCNNu blit lTcdSllTy duLllOTl- ties will look elsewhere for the needed revenue.
 In these circumstances it is likely that the republican members will have to take up the subject and dispose of it | themselves. Senator Dubois, of Idaho, says. he expresses the sentiments of a great number of republicans of the wool-growing states when he says:
 II think the western men in congress will insist on the deficiency in tho rev onue being made up by duty on wool. | The most objectionable feature of the new tariff law is its discrimination against the farmer and against all of the western interests. Tho eastern manufactures and such raw material as iron and coal are well protected. | The western men have right to insist that if additional duties have to be cAl- lected to meet the deficiency in the revenue that they shall be put upon such item or items as they are particu- larly interested in, and which have been discriminated against in the pres ent law.
 "The restoration of wool to the duti- able list is the thing in which the west is most interested, and the re- publican party is thoroughly com mitted to the proposition. am quite sure that the west will insist upon this, and l do not see how the re. publican congress can refuse to select that as the item upon which to raise | additional revenue. The fact that the administration may not look with favor upon this duty, do not think should be considered. l do not suppose thers will be any disposition to take up the whole tariff question in the next con. gress, but when the republican com gress is called upon for an increase of revenue this item of duty on wool is the one toward which they most naturally and with the greatest justice should turn"
 This is the condition which confronts the administration at the present time There is renewed talk of an. other bond issue, but it is safe to say that Mir. Cleveland will consent to that | only as last resort.-Albany Journal.

NEGROES ARE STARVING.

Stories of Great Suffering Come from the
 Colony Recently Located in Old Mexico.
 WASHINGTON, July 25.-Bad news has been received at the state department from the colony of American negroes who went into Mexico some time ago and settled on a tract of land near Tlahualilo. A telegram was received at the department yesterday morning from United States Consul Sparks at Piedras Negras, stating that the ne- groes are in a deplorable condition. These emigrants were from the southern states of the United States, mostly from Alabama and the Carolinas, under most alluring promises from the emigration agents of comfortable homes in Mexico, but from all accounts they have been ill., treated and have suffered great hard ships from the time of their arrival in that country. Consul Sparks says the negroes are scattered for miles along the railroad without friends, home or food, living on mesquite beans and branch water. Consul Sparks says he fears grave trouble, as the negroes are starving

UGLY INDIANS.
Reported Uprising in the Northwest-Gov'
 ernment Troops Ordered Out.


 CHICAGO, July 25.-A special dispatch from Pocatello, Ida, says: The Indian war has broken out in earnest. Union Pacific Engineer Robert Fitzpatrick, who pulled the northbound freight into Pocatello Tuesday night, con- firmed the report that the Bannock h. dians killed settler and his wife and child in the Salt River valley, and that the white men, pursuing the Indians, killed six of them before they escaped to the mountains.
 Mail Carrier Vail, who arrived at Montpel fer from Star valley, also told the same story. The excitement among the settlers in northwestern Wyoming over the threatened uprising of the Bannock and Shoshone Indians is growing more intense daily. They are leaving the ranches in large numbers and gathering at favored points for mutual protection, in case the Indians return to seek vengeance for the death of their brother braves.
 GOVERNMENT TROOPS ORDERED OUT.
 WASHINGTON, July 25.-The secretary of the interior has requested the secre- tary of war to send troops to the scene of the Indian disturbance in Wyoming, and it is understood that the request will be granted as soon as the official papers are received by the secretary of war, and that troops will be ordered instantly to the vicinity of the trouble.
 Secretary Lamont during the after noon ordered Gen. Coppinger to pro- ceed to the scene of the disturbances and to make such disposition under his command as he may deem neces- sary to protect the settlers and secure the return of the Indians to their res eryation,

PERRY, Ok, July 25.-The Iowa In dians, whose reservation is located east of Guthrie, came up in a body to visit the Poncas and the Otoes, a few miles above Perry.

Chinamen from Cuba Being Held.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Twenty China- men are being held by the agents of the treasury department here until their passports can be examined. They were among fifty passengers who arrived from Havana on the steamship Orizaba Monday, and were detained at Hoffmas island because they had not secured naturalization papers. They claim to be merchants on their way to San Francisco to buy goods and profess to be very indignant because deprived of their liberty.

Where Love IS Secondary.

A conspicuous difference between the English and Chinese dramas is ex' plained by the fact that, whereas in the former love holds leading part, in the latterit is relegated to secondary place. In England it is passion; in China sentiment only; hence the thousand intrigues love gives rise to are, in the latter country, either thrown into the shade or tabooed entirely. Without their ardent passions many of our theatrical productions would lose their interest and most of their merit. An English, or, to use wider term, European play-goer, requires a due quantity of love. In China, on the other hand, this demand finds little echo, since love there is not the chief theme of bard and painter. Conven- tion and the strength of parental au- thority have crushed, in great meas- ure, those amorous longings which exist in the human heart; and as love, courtship and matrimony in the far east are even more prosaic than in our mart of the world, the first of these feelings, if handled as passion, can
 not powerfully arrest the attention of the multitude. Nineteenth Century.

Rumored Battle with Outlaws in Okla
 homa Said to Be Fake.

GUTHRIE, Ok, July 25.-The story telegraphed from Hennessey, Ok, about bloody battle between deputy marshals and the Wyatt and Doolin gang of outlaws, in which Wyatt was killed, Doolin wounded and captured, together with six other outlaws, is mostly a fake. A posse of farm CTS, whose horses have been stolen, overlook three men near Sher- dan with stolen animals in their pos session, and killed one and captured the other two. Neither of the cap tured men is Bill Doolin, and though blance to Zip Wyatt, officers who know the outlaw well declare that it Is not he.

cB-It is wrong to talk about wages being increased. There is simply a tendency to restore them to what they were before the democratic victory of 1892. The restoration will not be com pletcd until the republican party is again in full possession of power.-- - Iowa State Register.

Hope Deferred.

Disastrous experience appears to haze no effect upon the administration hope, which is that sometime, somehow, the democratic tariff will begin to meet the needs of the government. Neither President Cleveland nor Secretary Car lisle likes to admit that the adminiStra- tion programme is failure, as would have to be done if the republican con gross were summoned in extra session. Besides, the president has a contract for the placing of more bonds at any time he may sec fit to issue them, and therefore feels inclined to meet present needs by mortgaging the prosperity of the happy time when democratic plans shall bring realization of his fondest hopes. In this case hope de- ferred may not make the presidents heart sick, but it does make the people very weary.-Troy Times.

CY~Mr. Morgan, of the bond syndi- cate, says there must soon be another issue of bonds, because increasing i'm ports drain off our gold. This is the fault of the tariff. Under the McKin- Icy tariff we paid debts instead of ere. ating them, and made goods instead of importing them. We are not so nar- row as to say that a good tariff will cure all ills, but as it would prevent Europe from exhausting our gold, and would increase our homo business, it would certainly remove what gold monometallists think is the chief cause of the popular demand for what they call "cheap money"-that is, the lack of general prosperity.

CLEVER GARY.
Gains Compliment by Handling His
Vessel.


ISan Francisco Chronicle
Captain Cary won the admiration
of everybody who knows anything
about docking vessels yesterday by
the quick and clever manner i'll
which he put the Monowai along
side the Oceanic wharf. Usually
this operation is considered deli
cate one, when mammoth vessels
have to be handled, and requires,
as a rule, an hour or more But
Captain Cary ran his steamer down
to a position about fifty yards off
the end of the dock, stopped her,
threw the wheel harda-s -starboard,
and swung her into the slip, stern
first, all inside Of ten minutes.
With the assistance OF stern line
the big steamer was drawn up to
the dock, and the passengers were
landed a few minutes later A
Whitehall boat could not have been
handled more gracefully or with as
much facility.

The S. S. Monowai was eight
days nine hours on her last up trip
to San Francisco. She was delayed
twenty-five hours outside of the
Golden Gate owing to the heavy
fog that prevailed. Captain Carey
would not take any risk and waited
until it cleared up.
