Do you want to know how to polish
the lenses of your lamp? Here you are:
First clean the surface with a pad of
cotton wool, then cover the pad with
cotton velvet, charged with fine rouge.
This will not only remove the scratches,
but will also impart brilliancy to the
glass Glass fronts for lanterns should
be not only clear, but brilliant as we'll,
and this comes partly of polishing. -

LAFAYETTE.

His Courtesy to an American Woman on
His Visit to Philadelphia.
The visit of Lafayette to America as the
nations guest is graphically recalled in
The Ladies Home Journal by Jean Fraley
Hallowell, who writes Of "When Lafayette
Rode Into Philadelphia. The welcome
given Lafayette in Philadelphia is said to
have exceeded in its warmth and enthusi-
asm that extended to the distinguished
visitor In any other city. In connection
with his riding into Philadelphia the CEN
trail figure of Respondent pageant, an in
teresting incident is thus recalled: LA
fayette's barouche was passing on Elev-
enth street the house where dwelt the
widow of Robert Morris, financier of the
revolution, sister of the revered Bishop
White. Mrs. Morris was at her window
and recognizing her after many years La
fayette rose up in his carriage and bowed
to her The rare courtesy was instantly
discerned by the thousands congregated at
this point, and it seemed as if the people
would go mad with enthusiasm.
1.-The recognition of Mrs. Morris seemed
to set them aflame. Even Lafayette ap-
peared surprised that the simple act should
evoke such a wave of frantic huZzas
Shout after shout rent the air. Women
We'd with men in their efforts to show to
Lafayette that his graceful act touched
them. So great was the furore that the
hero had to rise again and again in his
carriage, and it was several minutes be-
fore the wonderful enthusiasm had abated
But if the applause subsidized at the special
point where it had been waited into a
flame, it was rekindlcd again and again
and carried along the entire route of the
march. By simple act no had aroused
the people, and the fruits of it remained
with him all through his visit in the
Quaker City"

University of Pennsylvania to Meet
Cambridge I'm a Track Contest.
Milwaukee, Wis, Dec. A-The first in
timation of what viii be the greatest ath-
letic event of 1888 was given out to-day by
Alvin C. Kraenslein, who is attending the
University of Pennsylvania and came to
Milwaukee to spend the Christmas holt
days. Mr.. Kraenslein gives out the in
formation that the University of Pennsyl-
vania will send a crack team to England
to meet Cambridge University in a dual
track contest to be held in London next
year. The two named universities have
been corresponding for some time, and
everything has been arranged except the
details. Pennsylvania has never been rep
resented in athletic contests in England
before The Pennsylvania team will be
strongly made up from a number of the
intercollegiate champion winners of this
year. The make up of Pennsylvania will
be as follows: Capt. James Winston,
broad jump; Tewksberry and Caldwell
sprinters; Hoffman, 440-yard dash; Grant,
mile run; Lane, half-mile run; Kraenslein,
hurdle, and high and broad jump; Teller
man, mile walk; McCracken, throwing
weights.
Kraenslein was the star performer this
year in hurdles and is the holder of the
American championships, and in the high
and broad jumps Capt Winston carried
off the honors. Murphy will handle the
team .

GOV. ATKINsON'S VETO.
Hon. Clarence Knowles Confident 1t
Will Cut No Figure.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. A.-Hon. Clarence
Knowles, author OF the national quaran-
tine resolutions, passed by the recent leg
islature, but vetoed by Gov. Atkinson, is
not at all pleased with the views express
ed by the governor in his veto message.
In an interview on the subject to-day
Mr.. Knowles said the right of the fed
eral government to quarantine cattle is
not disputed, and I think it may with
equal propriety protect the lives of hui
man beings. No concession of power was
intended that was unnecessary, for the
right of the federal government to regu-
late such matters was long ago conceded.
1t guarantees cattle to keep them from
going from one state to another without
saying by your leave to the state authori-
ties, and / should think it might with
equal propriety protect the lives of human
beings.
The governors action in sending the
resolution to our delegation in congress so
as to show the wishes of the legislature
is fair, but I don't think his veto will cut
any figure one way or the other. Con-
gress knows what the legislature wants
and that accomplishes our purpose.
When the resolutions came up in COM
mittee. Mayor Collier and / made short
speeches, showing the absurdity of the To-
cal guarantees IN Ala Dafna and elsewhere,
the concealment of yellow fever in Mont
gomery for six weeks and the paralysis
of business and railroad operations result
ing from the unreasonable quarantine reg
ulations. We also pointed out that the
fever would not have been admitted into
Mobile had there been a national quar-
antine. They valued their fruit trade more
than their health, and the fever came in,
and with IL went loss of life and immense
damage to business.

Atlanta, Ca, Dec. 24-Victor Brown, a
commission merchant, who has for some
time past been conducting a store on the

hall street, was brought to Atlanta from
Montgomery and lodged in Jail to-day on
a charge of larceny after trust
Brown was arrested under a warrant
sworn out by ]. NJ. Mcconnell, represent
ing the Mobile Fruit and Trading Com
pany of Mobile. Mcconnell claims that
several consgnments of goods were sent
here to Brown and that after selling them
he failed to make any return to his firm
in Mobile. 1t is said that the different
consignments amounted to 1915, which
amount Brown consigned to his pocket and
then took his departure from the city.
A sharp lookout was kept for Brown and
he was finally located in Montgomery. A
warrant was then sworn out before Judge
Bloodworth and placed in the hands of
Baihff Barnes, who proceeded to Mont
gomery and placed the merchant under
arrest. Requisition papers were secured
from Gov. Atkinson, which were honored
by Gov. Johnston of Alabama, and Mr..
Barnes brought his prisoner at once to At
lanta. Brown denies that he is guilty of
the charge.

court of the state.
The murder for which Allen is sentenced
to hang was committed three years ago.
Allen lived at Popes Ferry just above Ma
con, and one day he went to Macon and
drank heavily, becoming intoxicated. That
night he went into a barroom and shot

Killed With "a Piece of Iron.
Augusta, Ga, Dec. 24-Augusta has al
ready had two Christmas tragedies.
William Ford, a fireman of the chemical
engine in this city, was shot tonight by
Walter Miller of North Augusta. S. c.,
and a gauger in the United States internal
revenue service employed at the North
Augusta distillery. The affair grew out
of a querrel over a woman to whom both
men were paying attention. Ford was
shot in the left lung and will die. The doc
tors say there is no hope for him. Ford
is well known in southern cities, having
played professional ball in the league. Mil
Ter escaped to South Carolina and is now
at large. The shooting occurred in a shady
section of the city.
Cora Williams, a colored woman, was
killed here tonight at 10 o'clock by Nose
Williams, who was drunk. The woman
kept a cook shop, and Williams ate sup
per. The man paid for his meal with
quarter, and she gave him 10 cents change
in return. Later he had a dispute with
the woman as TO the amount of the bill
and called her a liar. She demonstrated
and the man picked up piece of iron,
near the fireplace, and struck her in the
head just over the left eye. An ambulance
was sent for and the woman died on the
way to the hospital. The murderer made
good his escape to South Carolina.

The Union Pacific Financiering the
Cause for Most of the Changes.

The Union Pacific Financierfng the
Cause for Most of the Changes.
New York, Dec. 24.-The Financier says
this week: THE statement of the New
York clearing house banks for the five
days ending Dec "a, is seemingly CONTRA
dictory in its results, although an exam
ination of the reports of the Individual
banks proves that the operations which
brought about the changes were entirely
logical, so far as the totals are concerned.
There was an increase of So 927, 900 in loans
with decrease of $758, 800 in deposits with
a decrease of 81, 529, 900 in cash.
The inference is that the money loaned
has gone out of bank and this is borne
out by the report of the National City
Bank, which has maintained the largest
fluctuations in it's averages. 1t has ex-
panded its loan notes $S,500O00. or an
amount nearly as large as the total in
crease of the amount in banks, and has
increased its reserve in the same amount,
while its deposits show scarcely any Va
Ration from the previous week This
bank is also prominently Identified with
the Union Pacific reorganization settle
ment and this becomes almost self-ex-
PLANTATION. The result of the weeks bus
mess has been to reduce the excess re-
serve of the banks 81, POP, 900, leaving but
81 ,523, $50 more than required by the IS
per cent. requirement This is the smallest
reserve reported since October, 1896, when
call money was quoted at to per cent.
But the present outlook does not indi-
cate any such stringency. The reduction
is due entirely TO payments in the sub
treasury on Union Pacific account and as
the government is now beginning to dis
burse larger amounts to meet the princi-
pal of maturing bonds, the effect will be
to Offset any stringency that otherwise
might occur. Many of these checks will
be available for bank use Monday and in
addition about one-half of the 100000 to
be paid by the Union Pacific committee
on account will be deposited by the secre-
tary in banks.
Money will be firm until after the close
of the year, but any stringency is bound
TO further depress the price of exchange,
and the same, despite the high rate for
money abroad, would bring specie i'm
