Clean brooms by dipping in and out
of ammonia water
After washing lamp chimneys, rub
them with dry salt, which will give a
brilliant polish to the glass.
If oyster shells are occasionally
placed in kitchen stoves it will be
found clinkers never appear
To cool a hot dish quickly, set it in
cold water and salt; this will cool it far
more rapidly than if it were stood in
cold water only.
If an oil or gas stove is used, box of
sand should be kept handy in case OF
accident, as it is the best thing with
which to put out fire.
To prevent the wick of a candle from
smoldering, hold it higher than the
mouth when blowing it out, and blow
upward. If lamp wicks are soaked
thoroughly in vinegar before being
used, they will not smoke.
Grease stains on carpet may be re-
moved In variety of ways; one of the
simplest is to take piece of blotting
paper, lay it under the grease mark
and similar piece on the top of the
mark. Then press the part with a hot
iron; this will cause the grease to be
absorbed by the blotting paper. An
other method Is to add some borax to
warm water in which soap has been
dissolved and well brush the stained
part with this mixture. Ammonia is
also useful 1t should be diluted with
water and rubbed on the carpet.

Beaumont, Texas, March 4.-For
more than three years the local lodge
Of Free Masons have been devising
the ways and means for building n
temple that will be an ornament to the
city as well as Il credit to the order.
They have at last succeeded. The Ma
sons own lot 30x60 feet on the cor
ner of Pearl and Honham streets, and
yesterday afternoon they entered into
a contract with Mr.. w. w. Kyle, a
young capitalist and large property
holder, whereby Mr.. Kyle agrees to
build three story brick on the Ma
sonic lot, he to control the first and
second floors, the third floor to be own
ed and controlled by the Masons. A
wooden building, used as warehouse
by the e. l.. Wilson Hardware com
pany, now occupies the lot, and as
soon as it can be torn away construc-
ton of the Masonic temple will begin.

There were many objections against

the one that seemed to influence the

while state senator he had been in

in which he was alleged to have receiv.

Expedition Abandoned.

Washington, March 4.-The senate
committee on military affairs yesterday
decided to recommend the passage of
joint resolution authorizing the aban-
donment of the government expedition
for the relief of the miners in the Klon-
dixie region, which was authorized last
December. The resolution provides
for the sale of both the reindeer and
the supplies purchased for the expedi-
ton. There was suggestion that the
reindeer brought here from Norway
could be utilized by the interior de-
partment, but the committee took the
view that the anivals should be sold
in preference to holding them for any
department of the government.

little support among the people. Dis

LONG INCONSISTENT.
HIS STATEMENT AND HIS ACTS
DO NOT AT ALL AGREE.
Says That He Has No Information--Yet
Clears Spain of Any Responsibility in the
Maine Case-Is Ordering War Material
other News Notes.

New York, March 4-The World has
the following special from Washington:
The remarkable statement by Secre
fary Long that the element of Spanish
official participation in the disaster of
+he Maine may now be regarded as
practically eliminated may cause that
oiiiclal great deal of embarrassment.
lie will probably be called upon by a
committee of the house to answer a
running fire Of questions as to his
reasons for the assertion.
Representative Leonldas f. Living
ston of Georgia, a member of the
pouse committee ON appropriations,
said yesterday that he would make a
request to have Secretary Long before
the committee to explain wherein lies
uhe consistency of his statement in
view of the fact that the secretary
has made contracts for over million
COLLARS worth of projectiles without
the consent of congress. Another thing
that puzzles the Georgia representa-
tive is, it has been stated that no Off
cial information has been received as
" nv" uie ihluc was plONh up MS
being the case, he is puzzled as to how
the secretary could make the singular
statement given out by him. Mr.. Liv
iigston thinks a man in the high Off
clal position of Secretary Long should
Keep quiet and be consistent, and now
flat the secretary was weak he was
going to attack him and not wait I'M
til he could fortify himself and become
strong.
ut appeared to Mr.. Livingston that
there was too much inclination to ac-
commodate the bondholders.
''It was common talk in the hotel
corridors last night that the criticism
of Secretary Long is so strong that he
will probably resign"

British Flag is Flying.

Seattle, Wash, March Alive
steamers arrived from Altslla yester-
day. The Queen brought the latest
news, having left Skaguay last Sun
day, The most important news
brought down was confirmation of
the previous reports that Canadian
official has placed the British flag on
what is regarded as American soil
and trouble at Skaguay with the long
shoremen, who objected to Canadians
unloading freight from steamers The
presence OF United States troops alone
prevented serious trouble.
1t is feared serious trouble will grow
out of the Canadians attempt to col
iect duty ON the SUBMITS of the White
and Cbilkoot passes and the Ameri-
cans will resist the payment on what
they consider American ground. An
other complication will result from the
various tramways which are being con-
structed to carry freight over the
passes. The officials of these tram
ways are reported to have declared
that any interruption of their con-
structlon work or any attempt to ex-
ercise any right of ownership will be
resisted.
1T is thought at Dyea and Skaguay
that the movement of the American
authorities will be to claim sovereign
ty over those two places. Last sum
mer the boundary line was at Lake
Bennett, then at Linderman and now
at the summit of the mountains, which
ie' only about twenty miles from salt
water.
Two days before the Queen left
'Skaguay general snow set in. The
change in the weather caused hun
dTeds OF people who had been detained
by the severe cold to start over the
trails from both Skaguay and Dyea,
and when the steamer left a general
exodus from both towns was taking
place, Both trails are reported in eA-
cellent condition.
