THE FURRlER's SECRET.

Arc Followed.
Furs become very much soiled and
need renovation as much as any part
sof n woman's wardrobe. but among the
many directions given for cleansing
and renovating one seldom finds any
thing regarding furs. Furriers keep

are cleaned with fine cedar or mahog-
any sawdust. which is kept in stock by
9urriers- The garment is ripped free
from the lining and the fur laid on a
table with the hair up. Then the saw
dust is rubbed in the hair. and neither
strength nor sawdust is spared during
the process When finished shake the
fu1 lightly over the table and save the
sawduSt that drops out. Then put upon
the table one or two feather pillows il
7heir usual muslin slips, and upon these
lay the furs, hair down this time and
beat thoroughly with a switch until
the sawdust is out and the fur as clean
as a pin Keep moving the pillows. as

beaten White furs are cleaned with
white cornmeal applied as the saw
dust is on the darker varieties. Il
white furs are only slightly soiled they
may be cleaned with magnesia in small
cubes that is well rubbed in and ther

A curious custom in Seoul, Corea, is
the law which makes it obligatory for
every man to retire to his home when
the huge bronze bell of the city pro-
claims it to be the hour of sunset and
the time for closing the gates. No
man is allowed to be in the streets
after that hour under pain of logging,

To Clean Pinnn KEYS.

The white ivory keys of a piano
should never be cleaned with water,
which discolors them. Instead. they
should be rubbed over with a soft
flannel or piece of silk dipped in oxy-
genized water, which can be obtained
at any chemists, and when the notes
are stained or greasy use methylated
spirits, gin or diluted whisky.

A SHAME ON PASTORS.

That such is the case is a shame up
on many pastors and churches who
take no interest in their Sunday
Schools. There is much for our State
and District Sunday Schools to do.
Many Sunday School Missionaries
neglect the rural districts. They visit
the city schools. but the country
schools may go to the Devil for what
they care.
Furthermore, it was said at said
Worlds Convention "that the Ameri.
can Sunday School work is more SNOWY
and brilliant than the English" but
question whether it is more earnest OF
substantial.
A good question. Many suppose that
a school loaded down with machinery
and large corp of officers is an eff
cient school. Not always so. Of
times children go out of the schoo
room as ignorant of the lesson as wher
they entered. The time was used il
singing and listening to lectures OF
speeches.

A contract was let to Fellows q Van

GAS, for finishing the Governors Office,
the Attorney Generals ONCE, the Treas
urers Office and the Supreme court
rooms. This contract will not be dis
cussed in detail at this time. On this
contract the usual number Of extras were
allowed.
According to the State Architects rec
ord, an extra claim Of 800 was allowed
for iron imposts s. e. arch, also beam,
tiling and cementing floors In the Treas
urers lavatOry and vestibule; also cas-
ing beam Associate Justices quarters,
and other work not otherwise spaci6ed
or provided for In contract" This iB q
very vague record, and IL requires care
ful examination Of the plans and speciRr
cations to determine what II really
means. It should have been 80 clear
that no one could misunderstood It.
Very conservative figures show that
this is a high price for the work which
appears to have been done The fact
that 1t can not be easily figured on is
not a good sign. Such things are very
often done when a Job Is to be covered
up. With reference to the iron beams
referred to- which constitute the prin-
clpal item ofQexbehse fbf material, the
records fail to SLOW Whether thsubsams
were bought by the contractors, or by
the State or were beams which former
contractor had at the building and which
disappeared. AT any rate this bill for
extras was allowed March rs, 1895, and
was probably paid in job lot Of claims
on June 2, 1896. That 1t was paid for
admits Of no doubt.
Much Of the work done under this
claim was the removal Of two partitions

Conference With
the Miners.
Governor Leedy Meets and Talks With
Coal Dlggers of Southeast
ern Kansas.
LEARNS OF FORCED WRONGS.

Governor Leedy made trip last week
which is out of the line ordinarily pur-
sued by men in his position. He spent
several days last week with the miners
of southeastern Kansas, meeting with
them and learning their condition and
the grievances of which they complain
He went unannounced except to miners
and did not see any Of the politicians
excepting those who learned Of his ar
rival and dropped in to pay their re-
spects.
In the election the miners supported
the present State administration almost
unanimously, and they have felt that If
they were ever to get their rights tha'
recognition would come through the
present officers. In consequence, Gov.
ernOr Leedy, Attorney General Boyle and
Mine Inspector McGrath have received
numerous communications and requests
from the miners, and the steps that have
already been taken are familiar with the
readers Of this paper But Governor
Leedy determined to find out all that
could be learned regarding the injustices
imposed upon the miners, and he accord
ingly went to Pittsburg last week where
he met with the miners Wednesday eve
ming. The meeting was known only to
mine workers, and all but miners were
excluded. Governor Leedy made the
statement that he came down to listen
and to be talked to, and that he wanted
to hear what the miners had to say. They
discussed the screen and weights ques-
tion, the scrip system, the company doc
tor plan, and the other impositions, and
the miners told their own experiences.
They spoke freely, as a pit-boss and
several others who would have been LA
BILE to report to the companies, and who
were present at the beginning of the
meeting, were politely asked to retire
In addition to the meeting the Governor
gave over two days to meeting indi-
vidual miners and committees from
Pittsburg, Frontenac, ChicOpee, LitCh-
field and other neighboring places, He
met the Chicopee miners at meeting
at that place Friday evening.
AT Weir City, Thursday, Governor
Leedy met with Local Assembly No.
1928, Knights of Labor, representing
about 800 miners, in the evening, and
with others during the day and until
noon Friday. A delegation from Scam
mon met him Thursday afternoon, and
several members of the Scammon as
sembly were present at the evening
meeting. Outside of a representative Of
the Advocate and News, who accompa-
MED him on the trip, the Governor went
alone, and all the conferences he at
tended were merely between him and
the miners.
Governor Leedy acknowledges that he
has learned many things that were new
to him, and he has a much better under
standing of the nature of the miners
complaints. The company doctor sys-
