Morton and Allison Combine.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-The Albany correspondent of The Journal says:
 Morton and Allison have made a com bination. This was the news brought to Albany. Negotiations looking toward this result have been under way for several weeks, and, it was said, a conclusion was reached.
 This is the most important move against Mckinley that has yet been made. The combination is expected to prove of great strength and the ticket that 1t will en- deavor to nominate will be Morton for president and Allison for vice president. The result of the reception of the news was that the governors friends were feel ing quite cheer ul and predicting McKin- ley's utter rout at the convention.
 The calcuators, in making their esti- mates, acknowledge that Mckinley Is in the lead; that Reed has the next high .st number of delegates; that Allison Is third, and that Morton brings up in the rear with l20 delegates behind him. Al lison, his friends say, has about 130 votes, with a great leaning toward him on the part of western states, among them Illi- nois and Minnesota Assuming that Mo Kinley will have 320 votes on the first ballot and Morton and Alli.on have 250 votes between them. McKinley's strength would not be so excessive The belief Is that Mo .Ninley will have all his strength on the first ballot The combination ex poets that several ballots will be taken. and that Mckinley, having the greate- t number of de egates, will be the first to lose some. The theory Is that any break in the Mckinley ranks will be followed by stampede. and that the Morton and Allison combination will sweep the deck.

 LONDON, March ls.-In the house of commons Mir.

HINTSFOR THE HOME LAUNDRY.

The difficulty experienced by house,
keepers generally in having washing
dcne at home causes many who can ii
afford the expense to send theiv clothes
to laundries, where inferior soap and
injurious washing fluids are used,
while If proper attention is given the
work it may be done quite as satisfac.
torily in the home laundry.
Assert the clothes, divide the table
and bed linen from the wearing apparel,
and the fine garments from the colored.
First immerse the white articles in
hot water and wash carefully with
Ivory soap. After all are taken through
the suds, put in a tub, pour boiling wa.
ter over them, let cool, wash out in clear
water, rinse in blue water, wiring.
and hang on the line. The col
ored clothes should then be washed
IN the same way, without scalding.
When all are dry they should be taken

to the Nerves and Temper.
Passengers who have their nerves co,
on edge daily while riding on elevated
roads are at a loss TO account for the
Horrible screeching, grinding noise OF
the wheels. particularly when the trains
are rounding curves. 1t Is difficult to
describe the noise, but it Is so annoy.
ing that many people avoid riding on
elevated trains whenever 1t is possible
This noise is not heard on any Of the
heavy express railroad trains, but is
confined to the elevated.
Inquiry as TO this Notwithstanding
racket showed that employees as well
as passengers were In Ignorance. A
reporter asked a dozen guards on the
Alley IL before he obtained anything
like an intelligent answer. The first
guard asked replied.
Blamed If know. Jest roundin' the
curve, I guess"
Inc last man questioned gave II IA
his opinion that the racket was the
result of carelessness in the use of the
cars. lie said:
4 think 1t is because the wheels grind
on the rails, and a little oil might stop
inc noise. Another thing, l think the
trucks become rusty, and as the train
rounds the curve they produce unusuol
friction. Perhaps it would be danger.
GUS to oil the track Mt the curve for
II the train was running at a high rate
o. speed there would be some danger
that it might leave the track.
III is a fact that cars on the elevated
n surface street railroads are not 81
wei cared for as tho.e on a great rail.
road. While the engines on the ele.
vated are always kept in frst-class con.
dltion and the car axles are kept we'll

paid to running gear. 1t is looked after
IN only a ~perfunctory way. / think
with proper care the trains could he

Whatever may be the cause, there il
doubt that this peculiarly diabolical
screening is destroying the nerves and
