Bread crumbs crushed to coarse
powder are admirable to clean delicate
lamp shades, screens, pillows, fringes,
scarfs and panels made of boiling cloths
and numerous other articles whose deco
rative Office is sadly curtai1ed from the
delicacy OF their materials and their
hitherto difficult cleansing. The spot
to be cleaned must be spread on fat
surface and the crumbs laid on it; then
with soft. clean cloth these are
rubbed around and around with even
strokes. The crumbs must be frequent
ly renewed, the soiled ones thrown
away and fresh layer put on. When
the cleansing operation is over, light
shaking or brushing with soft, fine
brush removes every vestige of crumb
dust, and the result, even in the most
fragile and delicate Of fabrics, Is most
satisfactory.

q such . trial that men Say Let the
house take care of ITSELF" But the
conscientious wife feels bound to risk
health and strength in this annual
struggle with dust and dirt. The con-
sequence OF her feverish anxiety over
extra work is depletion of the blood,
the source of all life and strength,
manifested in that weak, tired, nervous
condition too prevalent at this season
and very dangerous if allowed to con-
tinue. What every man and woman
needs in the spring is Hoods Sarsapa-
rilla. It keeps the blood vitalized and
enriched, and thus sustains the nerves
and all the bodily functions.

QUARTER OF A MILLION.
Extent of the Damage Wrought by s
Cincinnati Fire.

Cincinnati, Aug. 25.-Fire last night
destroyed, by present estimates, a quar-
ter of million worth of property on
Second street. east of Walnut, and or
Commerce, near Walnut street. The
buildings destroyed were three in mum
Der and were recently bought by Mr.
Bradford Hinkle, to be torn down fol
new approaches to the suspension bridge
The loss on them will be 100000. They
were all five stories high.
The fire started at 10 O'Clock in Creary
& Sons commission and storage house
on Second street, extended to James
Hacken & Co.'S coffee warehouse, and
from there to the spice mill of the same
firm. James Hacken & Co. are the
heaviest losers in stock and machinery,
probably 100000. Creary & Sons lose
$4,000, but the loss on the storage OF
Charles G. Jacobs Cordage company,
Hinkle Wilson & Kreis, molasses; /,
Sealman & Co., tobacco, with other SMALL
er losses of stored goods, will swell the
loss in Creary's building to $50, 900, max
ing a round total of $4,000. All owners
live out of town and nothing is known
of the insurance at this time. The
Charles Brown Wholesale Grocery com
pany lost $4,000 by water, swelling the
loss to S2T0,000.

BEER CROP In DANGER.
Hop Pickers Refuse to Work for the
Prices Prevailing.

New York, Aug. 25.-The World will
say: The hop crop of this State is in
danger of the rain because of the refusal
of the hop pickers TO work for the prices
which the growers are willing to pay,
1t is reported that the growers expect to
get their crops harvested on the same
basis as last year, but the hop pickers
have organized a union to enOrce their de-
mands. and if these demands are not
granted at once they will strike.
The honest hop pickers in the counties
of Madison and Oneida, in this State,
claim they are having hard time of it,
Last year they supposed they were to re-
ceive a dollar day and board: When
settling time came, they were paid instead
of 81 day, only 80 cents basket. 1t
was a good worker who could fill more
than two baskets per day.
Just now the New York Central COM
pany's detectives and the police are having
a busy time with the tramps that are flock
ing to the hop regions of New York State.
These tramps watch opportunities to steal
rides on trains bound north and west, and
despite the best efforts of the officials,
It is almost impossible ito drive them away
from the cars. These tramps go to the
fieids for a good time. There is plenty
to eat in the hop picking season, good
hay and straw stacks to sleep in and beer
and cider abound. They lead an easy
life for few weeks and rob whenever the
opportunity is presented. The police es-
innate that Within the past 10 days over
200 tramps have left New York on freight
trains bound for the hop districts. Thf
Hon Pickers' union, which expects to
commence a war upon these gentlemen,
is said to have already over 0OO. members.

QUANTRELL'S DEATH.
1t Is Now Known That He Was Killed by
Confederates Instead of Federals.

Rogers, Ark, Aug. 25.-Captain Simon
Horseley, a man who served with dis
function under General Forrets, died a.
the homeofh his brother near this place this
evening. Intimate friends have known
for some time that he knew of the killing
of the noted rebel Major Quantrell, bun
the facts did not become generally known
until his death. Horseley was sent as
recruiting officer by General Forrest
into Kentucky, and as Quantrel was re-
turning from raid he stopped in the vi
cinity of Bardstown and began depreda-
tons, not even respecting the property of
Southern people. Horseley, at the re
quest of the citizens, waited on Quantrel
and asked him as a friend to desist, but
the willy Quantrel became angry and
would not listen to the demand. He
was warmed ITO make mo more raids ON the
property of Kentucky Confederates and
the two separated. He made another
raid and during an engagement with a
detachment of Kentucky troops the des-
perate Quantrell was killed. 1t has been
generally understood that Quantrell was
killed by Federal troops, but men now in
a position to know the facts are satisfied
that he met death at the hands Of those
who would have been his friends.
Mr.. Horseiey was a reliable and honest
citizen and confided secrets to his Masonic
friends that they would not divulge as long
as he lived. Now that he is dead they
are willing to supply this missing link in
the lost cause and do all possible to en-
tighten the end of Quantrell's exciting
career.
Captain Horseley was law abiding cit
izen and his death is greatly regretted.

CITY OLE TOLEDO VICTIMS.

Toledo, O., Aug. 25.-There is little
change today in the condition of the per:
sons who were injured in the City of
Toledo accident last evening. Those who
we're kept in this city are at the, Toledo
hospital where they are given the best
of medical attention. The physician
stated this evening that death was only a
question of time with the majority of the
persons who were injured and there is no
possible chance for their recovery. The
schooner Magdalene Downing was towed
into the docks this afternoon in badly
dilapidated condition. Her port bow is
torn away for nearly 20 feet and her jib
boom and standing canvass are torn away.
The City of Toledo was placed in the dry
dock this evening and will be Immediately
repaired.

Cotton receipts for the season up to

This would indicate IL decidedly short crop

the crop this season will not reach half

The Latest.

Detective Breckenridge has returned from Stein's Pass. He says that early Tuesday morning when he reached the scene of the hold-up, a snowstorn was setting in and by o'clock the ground was covered with a white coating sev- eral inches in thickness, which ren- iered it out of the question to take the trail of the bandits and follow it.
 Upon reaching the Pass, however, Detective Breckenridge organized Il posse of F men, all mounted and armed to the teeth. They rode around the country for several hours but could see nothing of the bandits and gave up the chase.
 Detective Breckenridge is of the op- inion that the robbers had their horses stened a hali-mile or so from the point to which the engine and postal car were taken, for no signs could be found Of horses hoofs near the road oi elsewhere Tor that mstter.
 He is satisfied beyond doubt that he two men who attempted the Stein Pass hold up are the ones who com mitted the robbery at Wilcox.
 He accounts for the mistake mad, hy the bandits in cutting off only tn. postal car, by saying they were excited and did not give a second thought as to whether Fireman Jonsor was doing as told by them or not.-Stsr.

THE great beenfts @ to be derived
