BRIGHT LITTLE GIRL.
MnrjOry Mckinley Morse, Who VIII
Be the White House Pet.

Mnrjory Mckinley Morse, Who viii
BE the White House Pet. z.
During the administration of Presi-
dent Mckinley, as in those Immediately
preceding it, the white house will have
its baby ruler. There is only one baby
among all the branches of the McKin-
ley family, but that one will hold high
court at the national capital. The new
sovereign is Marjorie Mckinley Morse.
She is two years old and the daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George E. Morse, of San
Francisco. s*.
Mrs. Morse is the daughter of the late
David Allison Mckinley, the eldest
brother of the president. With her hus-
band she visited Canton during the
early part of the campaign, and though
neither Maj. nor Mrs. Mckinley had
ever seen little Marjorie it was then
decided that in the event of a republican
success she was to take up her home in
the white house. This plan, however,
will not be carried out until warmer
weather makes the change from Cali
fornia to Washington less dangerous to
the baby's health. Marjorie will prob
ably first see her granduncle in May.
It is said by her California friends
that little Marjorie is an unusually
bright child and remarkable in more
ways than one. She has wonderful
memory, and has already learned to
read. If she is shown a picture and its
connection explained to her she nevez

WOMAN AND HOME.
HOW TO CLEAN LAcEs,

description of Three or Four Of the
Most Approved Methods.
Nothing is more destructive to laces
IMAM al careless washing. Where the lace
IS rnre or expensive, of course, it is al
ways the better plan to turn it over to a
trustworthy that makes
speciality Of cleaning and repairing such
arncles, but with the less expensive
4 laces the cleaning can as we'll be done
at home. It is not a difficult nor tedi-
GU Gus task, but one requiring care and the
use OF proper materials.
Real lace and delicate silk laces are
easily cleaned by the use of benzine,
( gasoline or naphtha. But as these ar
tlcles are infiammable, it is better to
use them in room where there is ND
fre. Basic the lace smoothly on piece
OF thin muslin, being careful to leave a
good margin of the muslin on all sides
OF the lace. Put the gasoline in bowl
and douse the lace and muslin up and
down in it rapidly. IT the gasoline be-
comes dirty, put the lace, into another
vessel and pour fresh gasoline over it.
Dip it up and down. being careful to
keep the lace on the under side until it
. is perfectly clean. Then stretch the
cloth, with the lace uppermost, on y
clean table, and secure it with a few
tacks or pins. This could be placed in Il
room where no dust will fall on it and
allowed to remain all day, for while il
will dry in short time, days airing
will be necessary to be rid of the odor.
Al@4 -
aside for few hours the dirt will all
settle to the bottom, and the clear gas
oline can be poured off and used again
to wash silk, kid gloves, or anything
that cannot be washed in water.
Yet another way is to sew the lace
carefully on a bottle or some such ar
ticle covered for the purpose, and soak
it in hot soapsuds into which have been
put a few drops of ammonia or kerosene.
In such cases the water may be brought
to a boil, but where the color of the
lace is to be preserved, boiling or even
exceedingly hot water should be avoid
ed. When the lace has become perfect
1y clean, the bottle should be removed
from the water and set aside or hung up
to dry in a place free from dust. This
method, though perhaps a little more
tedious than the other, is exceedingly
good, and makes the lace look fresh and
new without the suspicion of an odor.
Another way is to sew the laces care
fully on cloth, which must then be
stretched and tackled to a table, then
go carefully over the lace with a rag,
using chalk wet with ammonia and
water: After the lace and cloth have
thoroughly dried the chalk may be
shaken out. To have the very best re-
suits when trying this plan the drying
should be done by the sun.
Still another way of drying laces as
we'll as other delicate fabrics which
cannot be successfully ironed is by
pressing them smoothly, while yet wet,
on window pane or marble slab. This
will obviate all necessity of ironing,
and they will appear fresh and new,

Hairpins Cause Insanity.

1t has recently been decided by some
who claim to be authorities that loss
of mental balance is often induced by
the use of hairpins. These scientists
argue that the head, especially at the
back, is the most sensitive part of a
woman's anatomy. Further, that she is
likely to fix upon a nerve center as the
permanent spot on which to locate her
coils of hair, and thus persistently ''jab''
with a hairpin the regions which should
be kept free from the slightest touch.
It is claimed that this is the reason so
many are yearly sent to madhouses,
with some other cause for their malady
assigned. As middle-aged women do
not care to appear with short hair many
are wearing a loose coil at the back
fastened with blunt-edged shell comb.

Maniac's Awful Crime.

morning, on farm ten miles southeast
of this city, c. X. Rash, in fit of mad
ness, Drained his wife and three chill
dren with an ak and then hacked the
bodies to pieces. The deed was discov-
cred by a boy who had been sent from
neighbours house to engage Mr.. Rash to
help she'll corn. Approaching the house
he was startled by cries, and, suppos-
ing that there was a struggle going on
inside, burst open the door. The furni-
ture of the room was in bad disorder
and the walls and ceiling spattered with
blood. On the bed was the body of Mrs.
Rash, the head so badly battered that
il was scarcely recognizable. In an adj
joining room lay the bodies of the chill
dren. Upstairs in a loft lay the hus-
band of the family. His vacant stare
and wandering talk showed clearly that
reason had left him. The family was in
moderate circumstances and esteemed
highly.

Philadelphia, Jan. %. = At Wednes-

of manufacturers the report of the
tariff committee was presented by
Chairman Charles Heber Clarke. The
resolutions favor revision of the tariff
at the earliest possible moment in or
der that uncertainty may be removed,
confidence restored and business per-
mitted to revive; that the duties shall
be as low as consistent with adequate
protection of our manufacturing and
agricultural industries and the labor
they employ; that the tariff should con-
tain only specific duties or mixed ad
valorem and specific duties; urging
congress to reestablish and extend the
system of reciprocity which may be
employed to secure tariff favors in Latin
American and other markets in
which we are the largest buyers, while
Europe is the preferred seller solely be-
cause of the lower wage rates and lower
general costs of production in European
factories. The resolutions were adopted.

north-bound Ogden express, was held

Roseburg, by two or three men. The
express car was detached from the train
by the robbers and the door blown open

car were blown open and looted. The

The messenger thought the robbers did
not understand getting into the big

have secured much over $50. The mail
car was also visited by the robbers and
registered letters taken.
