She CLEANS HER OWN GLOVES.

"Well, I must take these down to
be cleaned" said young woman,
holding out a bundle of soiled white
gloves to the friend with whom she
was speaking, quoted by the Atlanta
Journal.
"To be cleaned? Why don't you
clean them yourself?" was the en-
phatic interrogative she received by
way of reply. "You arc squandering
your money! 1t will cost you Is cents
a pair to have those gloves cleaned,
and you can clean three pairs yourself
with cents worth of gasoline"
"And will they look nice-not
streaked ?"
"Perfectly nice. 1 wash mine my
self, or have the maid to do it, under
my supervision, always. And this is
my modus operandi: Take your 5
cents worth of gasoline (nearly quartz
and pour one-third of it into basin
and begin your glove washing. 1t is
better to wash three or four pair at
one time. Wash them all through the
first gasoline, which you will find pref
ty black when you get through. Then
pour out second portion and wash
all the gloves again, rubbing the fin
gers carefully and thoroughly so as to
get all the dirt out. If after this wash
ing, they are not perfectly clean, give
them another rinsing with the remain
ing portion of the gasoline. Then
spread the gloves out on a towel or
hang them on line near the window,
and when nearly dry put them on
the hand, so as to prevent shrinking.
"This method you will find entirely
satisfactory. Why, every once in a
while have a regular glove washing"
"Gasoline is the best cleansing fluid
in the world, in my opinion" conclu-
ded this glove washer. 'It makes
white satin look like new, though in
this case, of course, the cleaning must
be carefully DONE"

Fun FOR THE SCORPION.
But When the Spaniards Took Hand, 1t
Was Their Time to Laugh.

This thing of throwing shells at
people is quite interesting but as to
how enjoyable it may be depends very
much on whether the shells are coming
or going.
One of the stories cabled from San
tiago last week is about some fun that
was enjoyed by the crew of the Amer
ican yacht Scorpion, on duty during
a bombardment.
The Scorpion is small, unprotected
vessel, and, of course, was not expo
sed to the heavy guns of the Santiago
batteries. Stationed away off to the
eastward, out of range, she was in
structed to watch the shore for bodies
of cavalry or other troops that should
happen to be operating in the vicin-
ity.
Along the shore of the sea, from
Moro castle to Aquadores, runs a
railroad. This railroad is in plain
view of the sea, and only short
distance from Moro there is a deep
cut with quite a high fill at either
end.
While the bombardment was going
on, it happened that train load OF
troops and supplies attempted to pass
along the road, and as soon as the
Scorpion saw the train she began to

Governor Ellerbe, on last Wednes-

battalions. His proclamation is as
follows:

COLUMBIA, June %, 1898.
In obedience to the presidents seq
ond call, May 25, 1898, for volunteers
in the service of the United States,

Hobson what he is, and it is of such
stuff that heroes are made when the
day of trial come, whether it comes
amid the shock Of battle or in the
no less searching and eXacting con-
ditions of everyday life. Hobson
was hero before he sailed into
the "mouth of hell" at Santiago, or
he would not have proved one when
the demand was there made on his
courage and devotion. The charac
ter he had cultivated and developed
by years Of patient, conscientious strug-
gle with himself and with the duties
that were nearest to him bloomed all
at once into perfect flower of heroism
on the deck of the sinking ship, and
the world knew him then for what he
was. That is all. The young men
who will pattern after him "will have
to walk the same straight and narrow
path" and do a good deal of hard
work along its sides as he goes, with
out seeing or expecting immediate re-
turns for his labor.

STUFF THAT HEROES ARE MADE OF.
Something About the Character of Rich
ard P. Hobson.
From The News and Courier.

ard L. HoDson.
From The News and Courier.
As Lieutenant Hobson, the "hero Of
Santiago" holds a prominent place
lust now in the regard Of the young
men of the country, they will natur-
ally be interested to learn something
of his record before the Merrimac in
cident, so that they may form an idea
of what kind of material heroes are
made. A western paper has gone to
some trouble in collecting information
regarding him, and publishes it under
the heading, personal Facts Of Inter
est About Hero Hobson."
From this same source we gather
the following particulars. "He was
the youngest man but one of his class
at Annapolis. He was boycotted by
his whole class. They called him The
Tin Saint and 'Parson Hobson.' He
graduated at the head Of his class.
He neither smokes nor drinks. He Is
devoutly religious. He prayed on the
deck of the Merrimac. He is full of
ideas. He is the only American who
went to Paris and never went to the
Moulin Rouge. His motto, 'ro do
Justly to love mercy; to walk humbly
with thy God There was a good
deal of the Stonewall Jackson, evil
dently, in his makeup"
The Philadelphia Inquirer prints
these particulars and adds some
others.
The young lieutenant is noted
among other things for his "neatness. !"
The Inquirer remarks that "he is clean
in his linen, but he is also clean in his
heart and his mind" Though some of
the items regarding him, it adds,
would induce the casual reader to be-
lieve that he was prig, "nothing could
be farther from the facts" He is "the
best dancer in the navy" ASS young
man in his native town he was "among
the most popular" To Annapolis he
carried the same personal magnetism
and was the idol of his mates "until
duty slipped in and caused him to re-
port some of them to higher officials" "
This brought about the "boycott," "
which has been noted, and which last
ed nearly three years. "NIany times
his classmates endeavored to heal the
breach, but he refused until the time
came for graduation, when he forgave
and parted with them as friend"
The personal school through which the
young man passed says The Inquirer,
twas probably one of the hardest that
ever beset man with lively sense OF
duty. He owed his troubles, as he
owes his success and his fame, to his
high ideal of duty. ''It is evident,
says The Inquirer again, "that the
young man who patterns after him will

That every green vegetable should

That if the water is very hard a
tiny bit of soda, not larger than pea,
added will make the vegetables cooked

Ordinary water does not require such

That when soft water is used the

That cooking vegetable after it is
done toughens, darkens it and de-

That the best dressing for vegetables

That older or staler vegetables are

amuse herself at the expense Of the
soldiers.
Two or three shots fired before the
train reached the cut, convinced those
on board that the American gunners
were not to be trifled with, and as the
train was about to run out on the fill
at the other end of the cut, some more
close shots made it seem desirable tor
turn back. Next the train tried to
back out of the other side; but this
WAS found to be unhealthy, and there
appeared to be no refuge except be-
tween the high banks of the cut.
Even this was not safe, for finally the
Scorpion succeeded in dropping over
in the cut a shell which badly dam
aged one Of the cars.
This advantage the Scorpion was
following up with the greatest enjoy
ment, until suddenly there came the
signal from Sampson for the fleet to
cease firing, and the Scorpion, though
reluctant to do so, had to draw off
with the other vessels.
But the thing was too funny, and
the men of the Scorpion were desir-
Gus of seeing it out. Accordingly, the
commander sent boat to the flagship,
explained the dilemma of that train
that was penned up in the railroad
cut, and asked for permission to 60 and
tease the Spaniards some more.
The desired permission was readily
given, and in great glee the Scorpion
started back after her victim. Pre-
viously she had been stationed some
1000 yards or more from the shore !;
but this time, under no special re-
straint, steamed up closer, where she
could attend to the matter with great
er convenience.
Suddenly, as with all the pleasure
experienced by the sportsman when
about to jump his game, the little
yacht had approached within less than
500 yards of the shore, there came two
quick flashes, followed by laundering
reports, and a tremendous column of
water arose in the air where shell
had struck on either side of the little
boat.
This was something the officers and
crew of the Scorpion had not calcula-
ted on. The shots came from a mask
ed battery. Why the guns had pre-
viously remained silent is not fully
explained. 1t is possible that the gun
ners had run away through fear.
But, anyhow, the new situation was
not a pleasant one. A single shot
from either of the big guns would
have been sufficient to sink the little
Scorpion, and considering discretion
the better part of valor, she turned
around and ran away as fast as she
could, leaving the train to depart from
the cut as soon as it had repaired the
damage previously inflicted.

ARMY MOVEMENTS At SANTIAGO.
They Will BE Slow but Now the Spaniard
Will BE Overcome.


Will BE Overcome.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Time will be required to make
landings near Santiago, strengthen
them against attack and put them in
shape to cooperate in an advance.
Estimates of the Spanish army vary.
Probable there are not less than 10, 900
electives in Santiago, and the number
may be much larger. There are near
ly 1000 men on Cervera's fleet, many
of whom are trained artillerists and
will afford the general commanding
important assistance. The supreme
effort of the Spanish will be to give
us serious reverse at the outset.
They are eager for an event of this
kind to break the succession of defeats,
and will try to accomplish it at any
cost. An advance within few miles
of the city will be especially hazard
GUS, as the whole movable Spanish
forces can be concentrated to resist it.
The enemy are on the ground, are for
tilted, hold the interior lines, and are
we'll armed with long-range rifles.
Cautious approach is necessary. An
instantaneous landing and general at
tack in such broken country is hard
ly to be looked for. A narrow strip
along the coast can be covered by the
guns of the fleet. Beyond that the
army must take up the task.
After our army is established on the
land the situation will be entirely in
our favor for siege operations. Blanco
cannot get within $50 miles OF San
lingo by railroad. He can send no
large body of reinforcements to East
ern Cuba. The roads are mountain
Gus, subsistence scarce and insurgents
numerous. Marching would be imped-
ed by the rainy season. If the Span
ish regulars have been sent to Santiago
from the cities nearest at hand the
towns are weakened, and this policy
would open loopholes for insurgent
attacks. No surplus of food or ammu-
uilion has been accumulated at SAIL
tiago, and every day of indeclslve
fighting must render its condition
worse. The strategy of General Lima
res will probably be to undertake a
dash somewhere, hoping to make the
most at Madrid of momentary sue
cess. TO prevent this in the landing
will be in itself a satisfactory begin
ming.
There will be in some quarters the
usual senseless clamor for the imme.
diate capture of Santiago. But such
problem is not to be mastered in a
day or ordinarily in week. Our
soldiers at Santiago are regulars and
the officers carefully educated in mill
tary science. They have been under
fire and know that victories are sell
dom won by courage ungoverned by
prudence. To waste life rashly is to
strengthen the enemy. BY good man
agement we have obtained control Of
the fine harbor of Guantanamo, and,
though it is 40 miles east of Santiago,
| it affords valuable base. Other foot

endorsements can he sent to General
Shafter to any needed extent. But it
is unreasonable to expect within a
few days to occupy Santiago, after
compelling the Spanish army AM fleet
to surrender. 1t has not yet been
definitely ascertained that Shafter has
a larger force than that defending the
city. One of his first decisions will
probably be to call for more troops.

GIRL FREES HER FATHER.
Aids Him to Break Jail and is Herself
 Prisoner.

Lexington, Ky, Aug. 12.-Miss Mat tie Markham, a pretty girl, P years old, planned successful jail delivery here last night and is now herself a prisoner at police headquarters
 Miss Markham's intention was to liberate her father, George W. Mark ham, Woodford county farmer, who had been held to the grand jury on the charge of stealing hemp. She was as sisted in the undertaking by Newton Moscow, who was arrested with her father on the same charge, but had been released on bond. Moscow is also locked up.
 Markham is at large, as is also Wal ter Whitman, under indictment for robbery, who went with him. Miss Markham carried to her father yesterday rope wrapped around her waist beneath her clothing and Mos COW. who also paid visit to the jail, took him large file.
 The men who were in the hospital department in the third story, but had little trouble in reaching the ground. The girl admits planning and execut- ing the delivery. She says she took the rope into the jail wrapped around her waist beneath her dress. Mark ham and Moscow were arrested on complaint of a number of farmers who had lost a great deal of hemp. The theft was traced to them. Markham is GO years old, while Moscow is 50.
