sweet of voice, can as easily as not build for them an aviary at small out lay.
 A person who proved how easily and inexpensively this might be done de- voted to this purpose the space of one very small balcony, jutting outside one of her long drawing-room windows. It extended to the south side of the house, and for a few dollars'a carpenter in- closed it in wooden skeleton frame and he fastened into this q roof and three walls, made of common window glass, set in cheap sash frames and bought from house about to be pulled down.
 Its building was the work of two days, and when the woodwork was painted a nice sober green the neigh bors concluded that the unoffending addition was to be filled with plants. Instead the proprietor of the glass house had the floor of the one-time bal cony covered with zinc and strewn with sand and pebbles. Then she moved in two wooden tubs, containing fourishing little dwarf fir trees, here and there tackled fir boughs against the house wall, swung couple of big doorless cages from the ceiling, and in one corner hung a wire sponge rack, filled with a mixture of threads, cotton, paper and dried grass. Into this glass inclosed space she turned her three caged canaries, that for two days cow cred in fear of the strange freedom all lowed them.
 Within a week mother nature reas- serted herself, and they deserted their cages, first to spend the nights, and then to begin nesting in one of the fir trees. After bit was added couple more of these birds to the aviary; then introduced to the canaries were a pair of bullfnches and pretty chaffinch, a pair of tiny Java parakeets and, lastly, a moclSing bird. But this sweetest singer of them all brought discord into the otherwise happy community, and had to be removed. There in the fir trees and boughs nests arc regularly built from the bundle of materials in the sponge rack, the gravel is scratched and picked over for tasty seeds, of which handful is strewcd every morn- ing, liberal bathing is enjoyed in an old china jardiniere standing in one corner, juicy worms are uprooted from long box filed with fresh sods every week, and from the dozen birds turned into this twelve dollar aviary two years ago, there are now some twenty-five vigorous warblers.-N. Y. Advertiser.

CLEANING CLOTHES.
How Ccat and Trousers Cen Be F., aewed Time and Again.

How n Ccat ana Trousers Cen Be Re- aewed Time and Again.
 The chemistry of cleaning clothes is set forth in scientific magazine, and, while women will care little for the technical part of the operation, the story of the actual process suggests a useful modus operandi. Take, for in- stance, says the American Analyst, Q shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers of black broadcloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong, warm soapsuds and plunges the gar mcnt into it, souses it up and down, rubs the dirty places, and, if necessary, puts it. through q second time, then rinses it through several waters, and hangs it up to dry on the line. When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for m hour or two, and then presses it.. An old cotton cloth is laid on the out side of the coat, and the iron is pressed over that until the wrinkles are out, but the iron is removed before the steam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny.
 Wrinkles that are obstinate are re- moved by laying wet cloth over them and pressing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen, they are treated as the wrinkles are-the iron is lifted while the full cloud of steam rises up, and brings the nap with it. Cloths should always have q suds made especially for them, as in that which has been used for white cotton or woolcn cloths lint will be left in the water, anh will cling to the cloth.
 in this manner the same coat and trousers cs.n be renewed time and time again, and have all the look and feel of now garments. Good broad cloth and i!s fellow cloths will bear many washings, and look better every time because of them.

The Former Companion of the James
 Brothers Killed at Telluride, Col.
 ST. LOUIS, Aug. 9.-The man known as J. G. Clark, who was assassinated in Telluride, Col, Wednesday night, was the original Jim Cummings, the desperate whose broad record has lived and grown since the opening of the war. Yesterday telegram was sent from Telluride to Mrs. Mary Cummings, the aged mother of the desperado at Inde- pendence, Mo. It was signed by J. l.. Glenn and reads: Jim was killed yesterday, what shall I do with the body?" Mrs. Cummings was not in Independence, being in Kansas City visiting relatives. Cummings was member of Quantrell's band during the war and was one of the most despera te members of the Jesse James gang of outlaws that later operated from Minnesota to Texas. When pur- suit became hot, he went to the mountains and has since been known as James Scott. His death re- moves the last of those men who set the example of robberies followed by so many imitators recently.

nouncement of the result. A large number of free silver delegates imme. diately left the hall, not waiting for the nominations. The state ticket was then nominated as follows: For governor, Judge w. I. Babb, Mount Pleasant; lieutenant-governor ex- Gov. S. L. Bestow, of Chari. ton; superintendent of public instruction, Lyman B. Par shall, Maquoketa; railroad commis- sioner, Col George James, of Dubuque; supreme judge, Senator Thomas G. Harper, Des Moines. It is understood that Bestow will not accept the lieutenant-governorship nomination. He is strong free coinage man, and was chosen in hope of consolidating the silver people, but says he cannot con. sistently run on the platform.
 The financial plank of the resolu- tions reaffirms the seventh plank of the last national democratic conven- ton, holding to the use of both gold and silver as the standard money of the country and the coinage of both without discrimination, and that the parity of the two metals be maintained.

Dainty Table Appointments.

However simple the bill of fare. the table appointment should always be clean and inviting. With a little care directed toward removing spot when it appears, tablecloth may be used to serve for several occasions, and remain spotlessly clean; while rumpled nap kin or coffee stain upon the table, cloth is accountable for many an un- eaten breakfast and many sick head ache. The center of the table should always be occupied with some refresh ing plant or flower. It may be fern or slender rose in it's swaying vase, but whatever it is it will act as an ap- petizer and tonic. A crisp bowl of let tuce or a dish of fresh radishes helps out the effect of the floral decoration.

Two Floors Of n Building in New York
 Give Way.
 NEW YORK. Aug. 0.-At II o'clock to- day two floors of the new building at the corner of West Third street and West Broadway collapsed, carrying all the workmen employed on them, and resulted in the killing of several and the wounding of many others. Park Policeman J. II. Livingston saw the accident from his station in Washing. ton park and ran to the rescue While engaged in assisting some of the wounded from the debris he fell into the cellar and was badly hurt It is feared his back was broken. Am balances came to the scene from all the down town hospitals and as fast as the wounded were removed from the building they were taken away. The first removed was the body of John Burke, plasterer, who lived in Brooklyn. There were fifty-two men employed in the building. It is said that an eighth story was added to the building, contrary to law.

TREASURY SITUATION
The Gold Reserve Steadily DecreasIpc-
 Omcials Reticent, FssssAI

I
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The reticence that prevails among treasury officials when they are approached on the sub ject of the condition of the gold re- serve and their absolute refusal to offer any opinion as to what this outflow of gold of the past two weeks signifies leads to the conclusion in some quarters that the treasury is uneasy about the situation. It is quite probable that by Saturday the syndicate will be compelled to prove whether it considers its contract fulfilled or whether it feels constrained to assist the gov ernment in maintaining the reserve. The rapid diminution of the reserve, the speedy descent from more than SlO7, 000,000 to very little margin over the amount the re- serve is required to be has shown how easy raid, under the ordi- nary course of business can be con ducted Treasury officials are ern- phatic in their statement that this loss of gold is due to legitimate business and point to the character of the houses taking it out to show that it is not the result of speculation. Whatever may be the cause the loss is felt and will be felt to still greater extent be- fore the week is ended.

CORNER cUPBoARDs.
The Style of Forty Years Ago Is the aIost
 Popular Just Now.

POpular Just Now..
 Corner cupboards are such extrava- gantly popular pieces of furniture just now that bric-a-brac dealers not only buy them readily, but send out and canvass the country in hopes of securing good specimens.
 The style of forty years ago Is excel- lent, with small panes of glass fitting the shelf space, solid brass knob for the upper door, and brass keyholes in the lower section. But they do not always appear to advantage, because frequent ly the owner has tried to do the cup board over herself, and daubed it's sur face over with villainous red paint.
 The quality of the wood can be deter mined by scraping off a little paint. If it shows reddish pink it is cherry; if light color it is imitation. The idea is now to preserve the, original design as nearly as possible, and to this end little renovation is made other than polish- ing. The windows are left intact, an extra band of molding added on the top and supports placed underneath to raise it about four inches from the floor. Claw feet, with carved apron, sur mounted by a narrow holding, are a wonderful improvement without in the least detracting from the coveted air of antiquity. .....
 Doing over an old cupboard is very inexpensive. The article itself costs at the least from ss to sl2. To polish it alone amounts to s7 more, and, adding claw feet and moldiugs, brings it up to total of S2s. These prices, of course, depend to some extent on the locality,

Said one who claims to be 30 intelli-
igeDt and thoughtful non-Mormon Ie-
publican, the other day: eff our
party wins in this election it will prove
to me that the church is in politics. !"
And when asked IT. under those cir

Asked for an explanation of such an
apparently inconsistent remark, he re-
piled as follows: From my personal
Investigations, am satisfied that prior
to that unfortunate priesthood meet
ing, the democrats were making rapid
gains and would have won except for
the priesthood incident. Now, if Utah
goes republican it will be because of
that incident, and 1t will convince mt
that it was premeditated. Then why
do you intend to vote with your party,
and thus help to swell the possible ma
jority? asked the writer. ''Well," he
smilingly replied, 81 can figure out my

Our esteemed friend whose brain has
become so imDued with the thought
that stock-men should be struck down
that wool-men may grow rich on pro-
lection, and whose heart is SO sur
charged with sorrow over the fact that
sheep men are not now making more
than 20 to so per cent. in the wool in
dustry, should read the, statement of
Heber Bennion OF West Jordan on the
subject and which appeared in last
Sundays Herald. MIR. Bennion is a
practical man and owner of sheep, and
says, as THE DISPATCH has heretofore
pointed cut, that sheep men are now
making 20 per cent. ON their invest
ments. Mr.. Bennion clearly points
out that the peoble were taxed eleven
cents for each pound of wool, that the
grower thereof may receive five cents
per Id. of the amount that is filChed
from the pockets of the wheat growers
and others and given TO the sheep-men
