"Who has been appointed Water
Commissioner" was the question asked
everywhere this morning. Rumor had
it that Mayor McI.ear had selected AL
fred Belts, but when the new executive
was seen this morning he said rhat no
one had been selected. Il have been too
busy to give the matter any attention,
but will probably do SO tonight" he
concluded. When asked if Belts would
be the man, he said: ~ dn not know. -
1t is said by the knowing ones. how
ever, that Belts viii be appointed.
An Evening Journal reporter callei
on Mr.. Belts in his rooms a. The Clay
ton House this morning ana asked him
as to the truth Of his appointment. He
said: IF have been selected, it is
more than know. have not seen the
mayor for two weeks. and, therefore
there cannot be any truth in the
rumor."
The name of Henry c. Robinson, The

ADDICKSS BROOKLYN MIDDLE.
THE GAS MANS FAILURE TO GAIN
CONTROL IN THAT. CITY.

Advloes from Brooklyn are to the ef-
feet that j. Edward Addicks' Beckton
Construction Company, Limited, which
was formed by him to acquire and con-
troll the gas companies of Brooklyn,
has been wound up by a final distribu-
tion of assets among the stockholders.
Mr.. Addicks' project was TO effect a
consolidation of the seven gas compan-
les in Brooklyn, but he failed of it's
accomplishment, although at one time
the company did control three of the
companies, the Brooklyn, Metropolitan,
and Citizens. Like many of Mr.. Ad-
dicks projects, this met with opposi-
ton, and but for the energetic action
Of certain members of the company S
board, there would probably have been
serious loss to those whom he had pre-
vailed upon to join with him.
1t was negotiationsby these members
of the board with the Standard Oil
Company interests controlling the Full
ton Municipal Gas Company, of Brook
lyn, that resulted in the formation of
the Brooklyn Union Gas Company
which accomplished what Mr.. Addicks
had not been able to do-the consoli
dation Of the Brooklyn gas companies.

Six Hints Given by nm Experienced
Laundress.
Sort your clothes in five grades. First,
towels, table and bed linen; second,
family linen; third, light colored
clothes; fourth, dark colored clothes;
fifth, fiannels and stockings.
Have plenty of the best soap, with
borax, starch and blueing at hand. Add
bOrax to the water in the proportion Of
one tablespoonful to pailful Of water.
Colored cotton clothing of delicate
shades should have the color set before
washing. Add of salt heaping table
spoonful to each Pailful of cold water,
and do not apply soap directly to the
article.
In cold weather dry indoors to pre-
vent freezing. A little kerosene oil put
in the hot starch viii prevent it from
sticking.
A teaspoonful of borax to a quart OF
cold starch will make it stiff. Table
cloths should have as few creases in
them as possible. Crease them twice
lengthwise; have them very damp and
iron them perfectly dry; fold over once
or twice, according to their lengths
and place them carefully in a long
drawer.
Fold napkins square with the initia
on the outside. They should always
be ironed perfectly dry; then put away
nicely in the drawer.-Chicago Tribune

Potato Dumplins.

Boil five or six good-sized potatoes
with jackets on. Place on top of the
stove to dry WREN done, taking care to
drain of all water. Peel and mash very
fine, adding one teaspoonful of salt and
a pint of sweet milk. When sufficiently
cool, stir in one-half Of a yeast cake that
has been previously soaked in warm
water and mix in flour enough TO make
q stiff dough. Set In warm place, and
when light mold into little dumplings
and let them rise as for biscuit; place on
top of the potpie and let steam 80 min
utes, keeping covered close. If using an
inside tin, referred to above, place them
on that 10 rise, as it will save handling.
This is nice with chicken or duck. If
duck is used, parboil it first in a little
soda water.-Housekeepe

THE RnRRER rARIrF.

II the president of our glorious Union
would only recommend that Congress
should take OF the tariff tax on certain
raw materials, so that whoever in
Whatever part OF the world has these
materials to SELL may sell them to con-
sumers of raw materials or to fabric
makers in the United States without the
payment of a tax, which in the ultimate
analysis always comes out of the pocket
OF the final consumer, he then truly
might be labeled "a man for and with
the massess.'
What does free raw material mean?
It means cheaper building and more
houses, more employment for the me-
chanic, and homes for those who are
now too poor to own their own. 1t
means cheaper clothing and all domes-
tic fabrics, which will result in greater
demand, to supply which our factories
will have to make more time and pay
their operatives more money than they
do. now. It means cheaper fuel. 1t
means to put a stop to
such conditions as exist to-day,
when a combination of monopo-
lists can make coal Sc a ton that should
be furnished at $3.50 a ton, allowing
everyone that handles it a reasonable
proft and paying the miners more
wages than they receive to-day.
True. the iron kings. the lumber
lords, the coal counts and the cattle
barons will squall at free raw materials
but it is the business Of this national
