HUNTINGTON IS VERY SAFE
Unless the Magnate Desires He Need Not
Come West
Writ Of Removal for the Owner Of Rail.
roads Denied by New
York Court

NEW YORK, May Judge Brown in
the United States circuit court today de.
MED an application for writ of removal
in the case OF Coils Z. Huntington, presi
dent of the Southern Pacific Railway
Company. wanted in California for violat
ing the interstate commerce law, in hav-
ing given pass over the Southern Pacific
railway to a man named Stone.
Judge Brown denies the application on
the ground that the Indictment is fatal
ly defective and not averring that any
use was ever made of the pass or any
Transportation was ever furnished under
it," The Judge holds that various pro-
visions of the net itself and rulings and
adjudications Of the interstate commerce
commission leave no doubt whatever that
the act is intended to deal with trans
portation, and that nothing in the act
makes criminal the mere issuing of free
tickets or passes that are never used. A
free ticket or pass not used is not trans
portation and is not preference or advant-
age to the holder.
In conclusion Judge Brown says
Ceases cited by the government. from
reports of the interstate commerce conn.,
mission show on examination that they
ara all dealing with free carriage and
free transportation. not with mere fire. 4
tickets. This Indictment, by describing
possible construction of the words of the
Indictment in an unlawful sense of free
transportation and as it does not charge
any transportation, it is not sufficient to
put defendant o triai. and therefore the
application for removal must be danied. "

Chemistry of Wool.

Mention is made of an interesting series of experiments upon the chemistry of wool made by Knecht, in which, on heating purified wool with sulphuric acid, he ob- tained light brown solution which read fly gives precipitatos with solutions of the acid coloring matters. The substance which produces these precipitates or lakes he considers to be identical with the con- stituent of the fiber which combines with the acid colors in an ordinary dyeing proc ess, the amount of this lake forming sub stance being about 25 to 80 per cent of the weight of wool. To obtain the above men, toned acid solution of wool it is stated that about 100 parts of the fiber are boiled for about two hours with 200 parts of strong sulphuric acid and 300 parts of wa ter, tho wool gradually dissolving, produc- ing brown solution, which, when neutral ized by alkali, deposits a yellowish white precipitate constituting a lake forming substance. A body called lanuginio acid was already known being obtained by process the converse of the above-viz, by dissolving wool in caustic soda and neu- tralizing with acid. But, according to Knecht, an acid solution of lanuginio acid has exactly the same properties as the lake forming substance, and the two are there fore considered identical. Curiously enough, chemists are uncertain as to what the natural color of wool Is due, the varia- tion being from white to dark brown and black. Now York Sun.

We laugh and say if we have this ex- perience now, what will it be when we get to Paris? Then, whenever few mo- ments of leisure intervene we take out our coins and accustom ourselves to English coins. The money is simple enough, and we learned that before we started, but the point is to understand the money when the English servants or clerks call it out. We seven look at each other in blank astonishment and say: What is that?" and if we repeat as we call it they don't understand that. But the American is quick and it only takes a minute or two to know, and now we are saying: "Tup pence and ha pence and thrip pence" as big as any body.

Source of Wealth to the Belgian Govern
 ment-Lace Schools In Brussels.
 Brussels was the savorite lace at the court of the first empire, and when Napo- leon and the Empress Marie Louise made their first entry into the Belgic capital they gave large orders for lace of the rich est point The city gave to the empress collection of it's finest laces, also curtain of Brussels point for draping the cradle of the king of Rome.
 Lacemaking is great source Of national wealth to Belgians, over 300, 900 women being thus employed. Lacemaking forms n part of female education since the man. date of Charles V to that effect, and there are 800 lace schools in Brussels. The thread used in Brussels lace is of extraor- dinary flneness The finest quality is spun in dark underground rooms, for contact with air causes tho thread to break.
 A fragment of lace in the collection at the Worlds fair was worked with the nee de upon muslin, leaving few meshes un- finished. It is an heirloom of the Bona parte family of Baltimore Napoleon ILL was p great lover of lace. The flounce in the trousseau of Eugenie, empress of the French was valued at 50 900 francs and took 40 women IS months to complete. The Duchess of York is great admirer and connoisseur of lace, using the pillow herself. One notable piece sent by her be- longed to descendant of Lord Anne Ham, ilton, who was the grandson of Queen Anne. Another specimen of historic in- terest was an apron given by Queen Eliza beth to Lord Fairfax; still others, gown manufactured for Queen Adelaide and Princess Charlottes christening robe. In the year of the great famine in Ireland, 1s47, when thousands of children were left orphans in the hands of the landed propri- etors, tho Irish ladies at once bethought themselves of occupations whereby they could be made to gain their livelihood. Lady de We're was first to teach the mis- tress of school on her own estate the art of lacemaking Irish point and Cariokma- cross, Limerick and honiton laces are great fayorites with Queen Victoria and her daughters.

A semiannual visit to the den tist, whether she seems to need his atten- tions or not, will save woman money and spare her much pain. On her toilet table should bo spool of dental floss, some toothpiells, a bottle of listerine, tooth powder and fairly hard toothbrush. The listcrine is an antiseptic which renders it invaluable as a tooth wash Three times q day is not too often for woman to use it.

A ROYAL COUNTRY HOME.
Babelsberg, Where William I of Germany
 Used to Rest.

Babelsberg, the favorite country house of the German Emperor William I, was, like most imperial and royal residences, a show place. Tickets ito view" were of course not granted to the public when his majesty was actually sojourning in the castle, but it sometimes happened that ex- cursionists applied for admission in igno- rance of rules and regulations, and as the drive from Potsdam to the park gates was a long one William I, unwilling to disap- point the would be sightseers, over and over again permitted them to be conducted through his apartments, despite his pres ence in the Schloss. One day he was en- gagged in the library with a secretary when the attendant, unaware of his masters presence in part of the house seldom util- ized for official interviews ushered a large party of visitors from Berlin into the ad- joining dressing room, which the emperor had only just vacated.
 The priyy councillor attempted to hastily close the door Of communication in order to keep out the unwilling intruders. But his majesty would not allow his subjects to be baked of their amusement. Open- ing Q 'practicable' door in the oaken paneling he squeezed himself into nar- row cupboard used for storing away super fiuous old china glass, etc. There he pa tiently remained for five or six minutes in the dark, while the inquisitive Berliners were handling tho knickknacks on his dressing table and peering at his boots and toilet requisites.
 The consternation of the attendants es- corting tho exoursionists through the royal apartment may be imagined when, as the last of the party passed out of the dressing room, his majesty emerged from the china closet and called back one of the footmen to fetch clothesbrush, as his coat had got very dusty while he had been in prison.
