Nothing Is more destructive to laccs than care

makes n specially OF cleaning and repairing such
articles, but with tho less expensive laces the
cleaning can as well he done at home. 1t Is
not n difficult nor a tedious task, but one requir-
ing care and the use OF proper materials.
Real lace and delicate silk laccs are easily
cleaned by tho use OF bcnzinc, gasoline, or naph-
tina. But as these articles are II Is
better to use them in a room where there Ia no
fire. Basic the lace smoothly on IA piece of thin
muslin, being careful to leave a good margin OF
the muslin on all sides OF the lace. Put the gas

odor. II the gasoline that has been used ; set
aside for a few hours the dirt will all settle to

anything that cannot be washed IN water.
Yet another way Is to sew the lace carefully

purpose and soak, II In hot soapsuds into which

to "a boil, but whore the color of the lace IL to 10

from the water and set aside, or hung up TO dry
In a place free from dust. This method, though
perhaps n little more tedious than the other. IL
exceedingly good. and makes the lace look fresh
and new without the suspicion Of an OdOr.
Another way Is to sew the laces carefully on u
cloth, which must then be stretched and tackled
to n table, then go carefully over the lace with u
rag. using chalk wet with ammonia and wator.
After the lace and cloth have thoroughly dried
the chalk may be shaken out. To have tho very
best results when trying this plan the drying
| should be done by the sun.
Still another way OF drying laces as well ms
fully ironed is by pressing them smoothly.
while yet wet, on a window pane or marble

and they will appear fresh and new.

John sherman I'M the cahinet.

John Sherman in the Cabinet.
The selection Of John Sherman to be
the premier of the new administration
is a gracious and fitting compliment
from the President-elect to his faithful
friend and counselor, who for a quarter
of century or more has been one of
the strongest figures in our public life.
A long, honorable and distinguished
political career, in which he has given
to the nation the fruits of wide legis-
lative experience and the benefit of a
counsel that was ever wise, patriotic
and just, will enable him to bring to
this high Office prestige that cannot
fail to command the respect and conf
dence of the American people.
Few men have been the recipients Of
such continuous and never-failing ex-
pressions of popular regard through
such long period of time as has this
rugged and austere Nestor Of American
republicaniSm. From the time he pre-
sided over the first Republican conven-
ton ever held in Ohio, in 1856, until the
present time, he has been conspicuous
in the public eye as a forceful and crea-
tive factor in national affairs. There
has been nothing spectacular or me-
teoric about his public career. His life
work has been in the service Of his
country, and that service has been
characterized by serious, thoughtful
and dignified conservation to duty

nobody dreamed that he would ever again
return to the Senate, much less rise to
the supreme leadership and almost abso-
lutte mastery of his party and State.
Born in Owego, Tioga County, July Is,
1888, Thomas Collier Plat was educated
at Yale, and at the age of 20 entered mer-
camille life in Owego. AS a young man
he become president of the Tioga Nation
al Bank, made money in Michigan lumber
and became an officer of the United States
Express Company. Of the latter he has
been president since 1880. In 1872 he
was elected to Congress, reelected two
years later, and in 1881 was chosen the
successor of Hon. Francis Herman in the
United States Senate. The historic dis
agreement of Senator Conkling and Pres
ident Garfield regarding New York Fed
eral patronage led to the dramatic resig-
nation of Mr.. Conkling and Mr. Plat in
May, 1881, after Platt had served but
few months. They sought vindication
in reelection and were denied it. Conk-
ling left the political arena forever, but
Plat remained. Though the party was
wrecked in that State he was not dis
couraged and when better times appeared
he reaped the harvest.

New Method.

A man who was for some years in
the log and lumber business on the
shores Of Lake Michigan tells a little
incident illustrative of the Irishman's
unwillingness to acknowledge his ig-
norance of any subject.
One day young Irishman applied
for work.
"Can you raft and boom logs?" asked
the lumber merchant.
.Av coorse, sorr,' returned the unem-
ployed, with cheering promptness.
well, then,' said the lumber mer-
chant, Ego up on the gap above the rail
road bridge and boom all the logs you
find with my mark. Any of the RATS
men will tell you about the mark, the
locality Of the gap, and so forth
The Irishman hesitated moment,
and then, with an ingenious smile, he
said:
.1'll be afther goin' directly, sorr; d.
you boom the logs as we do in the ovid
country, dunno? Is it wild shovel
We boom 'em, sorr, or how?"

Mckinley Over BRYAN.


The plurality for Mckinley over
Bryan's total on his two tickets is 61S,-
742. In comparing the last election
with previous ones. however, the fact
should not be overlooked that women
voted for President in November for the
first time in both Colorado and Utah,
and contributed nearly half of the 1874
900 plurality for Bryan in Colorado,
and 5O,9S6 in Utah, the excess of males
In each State being very slight. On the
basis of previous contests, therefore,
McKinley's plurality would be about
100000. This is not so much as was
claimed by Republicans Immediately
after the election, but it is really more
impressive than the larger plurality of
763, OO7 for Grant over Greeley in 1872.
In that year the Republicans still con-
trolled the count in most of the South
ern States, and gave Grant such ma
jorities as $4,000 in South Carolina and
$4,000 in Mississippi. In the great
Northern States between the Hudson
River and the Mississippi Bryan as a
rule was beaten far more badly than
Greeley-by 26S, 1926 in New York, for
example, as against SO, 455 in 1872; 1885,
O72 in Pennsylvania, as compared with
137, 54S; 141, SIT in Illinois, against 81
COG; and 1O2, 612 in Wisconsin, against
1880. Indiana and Michigan are the
only States in all this section which fell
behind the record Of 1872. No two au-
thorities yet agree as to the vote re-
ceived by the various candidates for
President at the November election.

Chunks of Sense.

The hard-headed editor Of the EN-
poria Gazette is giving the people OF
Kansas many good chunks of common
sense, which, if they take them to heart,
will do more for the State than all the
oratory of Governor Leedy about the
semi barbarous foreign colonies of the
East. He has just been telling them
that right in his own county they have
been so busy talking politics that they
have forgotten all about the coal vein
discovered years ago under their farms,
have neglected the natural gas long ago
located and let the oil, potters' clay,
ochre and lead lie unused. kansas has
developed rapidly on other people,

alton that came here could get rich by
making out Deeds" "After breaking
up in the speculation business we talk
ed politics. Now it is time for real
development 'The mine, the hen, the
