CHICAGO BUSINESS MEN REJOICE.
Lyman ]. Gage Says They Have Been Relieved
from an Awful Danger.

Chicago Nov. 5.-The good effects OF
Republican success are already felt. \
great load has beea lifted from the
minds Of Chicago business men. Mer-
chants are preparing even now for i'm
proved conditions. Bankers announce
enthusiastically that there is no longer
an embargo on gold. and that it can be

J. Gage. when asked whether his bank
vas now willing to pay out gold, re-
piled ctnphatically:
Yes. sir. We will pay gold to any
man who asks for any reasonable
amount. We have been delivered from
an awful danger. 1t means lif. To all
financial and industrial interests. Tho

1t makes all the difference in the
world in which direction we are going.
Day before yesterday there was a
doubt That doubt overshadowcd us
all the time before election. Nov that
doubt has been raised and we know
iii what direction we are going. And

from California. Several hundred
yards fron, the cars was the power
| house, in which was the powerful en-
gine for cOmpressing the air which
, does broom service. Through long un-
dorground pipes Of perhaps IL or 2
! inches in diameter the compressed air
was carried to the tracks. Here rub
| Der nose was attached to the connec-
! ton, and at the crd ofthis hose was a
| long handled nozzle. The nozzle con-
sisted Of an iron pipe little larger and
about the same length rs a broom
handle. one end Of this pipe was in
seTtCd irto the rubber hose, and upon
the other end was a broad brass ar
ranEcment which reminded one of the
mouth Of catfish more than anything
else. The end Of the brass fixture was
almost a foot in width. ard across the
Z face. or end there was q. narrow slit
running from one side to the other
not more than 1-32 of an inch in width

for work. The carpets from the cars
are thrown down face up on the plat
form. on the side of the track, and the
pneumatic instrument is pushed back
and forth over the nap with the brass
end Immediately upon the carpet or
just above it. The air rushing against
the carpet with tremendous velocity
blows the dust and dirt out in a cloud
like the smoke from n locomotive. The
rapidity with which the work is done is
another astonishing feature. Enough
carpet to cover an ordinary sized room
is cleaned in less than five minutes. and
cleaned so thoroughly that no more
dust could be beaten out with a stick.
For cleaning the upholstery of the seats
in the cars a smaller brass noZzel. only
two or three inches in width. is used.
but the operation is otherwise the
same as that used for the carpets.
The system is used only for cleaning
the carpets and upholstery, as it is
manifestly not practicable for sweep
ing the floors. Should it be used for
taking the dust and dirt from the bot
tom of the cars it would only blow
everything into the air. and would not
take out the heavier particles which are
always to be swept from the floor.
What little dust falls back upon the up
holstery is very light. and can be very
easily removed with the ordinary
feather duster.
The pneumatic system for cleaning
the carpets and upholstery has been in
use in railroad yards in Chicago for
several months. 1T has been found to
clean the carpet and upholstery more
perfectly than anything else. does it
with vast saving of time and wears
out the goods less than any other
method. These three things cut a re-
markable figure in cleaning the enor-
nous number of cars that are renovated
every day in Chicago. No one knows
who IS the inventor and no one has ever
claimed the credit.

She Proposes to Show Her Enthusiasm Over
Mckinley and Hobart's Election.

Gardiner is surely going to celebrate
the great Republican victory and in a
way that was never done before. AT
first it was thought best to hold it Fri
day night, but as the extensive ar
rangements cannot be perfected as
| they are desired, it will be put off until
Tuesday night, when it is hoped every
Republican in the city will illuminate
from cellar to garret for the great oc-
oasion. AS there will be a good deal of
expense, it is intended that every Re
publican shall be called on. but should
any be missed, the same can be left
with any of the committee on contri-
buttons, who will see that it is prop
erly used.

sion will be headed by cavalcade of

PNEUMATIC DUST BR0OMs.
~e.hod Of Cleaning House Employed in q
Sleeping Car.

Even the good old-fashioned broom
and the noiseless carpet sweeper are
giving way before modern inventions.
The poor old broom is being crowded
back into its corner by the all-prevail-
ing pneumatic devices. Is. the time
coming when the average housekeeper
will have an air-compressing machine
in the basement for furnishing power
that will clean her carpets in place of
the time-honored broom and the pro-
fessional carpet cleaner?s Such a de-
vice is already in use in a number of
railroad yards of Chicago for cleaning
railway coaches.

yards recently. and saw the operation

The other night the lady and her aunt.

barn. What it could be they could not
imagine. There would be a series of
thumps, and a rushing about, followed by
rafting as if some one in chains Every

black Manx tailless cat, the property OF

great favorite with the ladies and visited
them often. It seems the animal had
gone INTO the barn, and while prowling
about as cats will. ran across "a great to-
mato can that had been emptied of its
contents. A little mouse had taken re-
fuge in the can and the noise it made had
evidently attracted the cat. In the en-
deavors OF puss to get at her prey she
had been caught around the neck by the
sharp and Jagged edges of the can when
she poked her head into it. and in the en-
deavors to free her head had cut her
