To clean the glass of pictures dip a
piece of chamois leather in alcohol,
wiring it nearly dry, and wipe the glass
thoroughly, yet lightly. Polish the
glass with piece of dry chamois. Gid
ed frames may also be cleaned with
alcohol. If oil paintings need cleaning
thoroughly, damp a soft cloth in warm
water in which some CASTLE soap has
been dissolved. Dry the painting care
fully, and then varnish it lightly with
some thin, clear, French "retouching"
varnish. 1t is we'll to consult an artist
with regard to the best varnish, and
usually safer to intrust this last bust.

DISASTROUS POWDER EXPLOSION
Eleven Men Killed at the Pompto
l.akea Works.

Eleven Men Killed at the Pompto1
Lakes Works.
Dover N. j., July 13-Two explosions
which killed II men, wounded about
20 others and wrecked two buildings,
occurred at the plant Of the Lain
Rand Powder works, at Ponpton, N
j., yesterday. The first explosion was
in the house where gun cotton was be-
ing made, and the second, presumably
superinduced by conclusion, was In the
drying house close by. Three men were
in the mixing room when the explosion
occurred, and they were blown to
atoms.
A battalion of the Third New Jersey
volunteers has been stationed at the
works to prevent their destruction by
spies. The camp of the soldiers has
been close to the powder plant. The
guard was being maintained as usual.
The most seriously injured was Will
lam H. Emmons. private of Co. 7.
Third New Jersey volunteers. He was
horribly torn by flying splinters. On
one side of his head the scalp was torn
away and from the other his ear was
severed. Splinters were driven into his
body and legs and it is not likely that
he will recover. Charles Lukes, of But
Ter, was also probably fatally injured,
being cut and torn in many places.
The list of killed is as follows: John
Craig, IS years old, chief engineer of
the works, of Winoka; William Bren
nan, So. Of Butler; James Phillips. As.
of Pompton Lake; Daniel Freeman,
William Fisher, William Fisher, Jr., |

New York, July 13.-Captain Nc.
Clusky, of the detective bureau, has
under arrest at police headquarters
William Mason. alias Big Bill" whom
he describes as one of the most des-
perate criminals in the country and who
is wanted by the Philadelphia police
for the murder of Major William C.
Wilson, an aged librarian. who was
found murdered in his book store on
Walnut street, Philadelphia, in August
of last year. According to McClusky
the police all over the country have
been trying to arrest Mason. A number
of other crimes were said to have been
committed by him. He boosted that he
never would be taken alive, and when
arrested by McClusky's men he and
one of his pals tried to shoot the Of
flcers. They were taken into custody
after hard fight In which Mason's pal
was knocked insensible by a blow from

So me Kitchen Notes.

Every housewife should be armed
with one Of the newer meat grinders.
1t need not be large, and will probably
cost under 81. With this In the house
the scramble for a tender porterhouse
at an exorbitant price may cease.
Very little over half of a porterhouse
steak can be eaten, what with the bone
and fat, and the fabby stomach end OF
the piece 1t is quite half waste This
applies almost equally well to the STR
loin.
The round steak, with the aid of the
machine, is the king steak OF them all.
1t Is the juiciest, most nutritious meat
in the beef, and besides 1t is all meat;
there is next to no waste. 1t is also
much cheaper in point Of first cost.
After the steak is passed through the
grinder it may be cooked in various
ways; made into patties, dipped in
beaten eggs, rolled in whole-wheat
flour and either broiled or fried. My
favorite way Is to put 1t in round
granite ware pudding dish, salt and
pepper slightly, three or four Jumps OF
butter on top, and after adding a table.
spoonful of water put 1t in hot oven
where 1t will cook in ten or fifteen
This is the only proper way to give
meat to children. With their small
teeth and tendency to fast eating they
cannot properly masticate the ordinary
tough meat, and generally bolt 1t.
If one is fond Of onions and high
they can have the ordinary
steak.
To boil cucumbers. peel and cut in
half lengthwise good-sized cucumbers,

wenty minutes. Drain water OF. Dust
we'll with salt and pepper, pour a little
Melted butter over, and serve hot as a
vegetable.
II cooked properly they should melt

WILL TRY TO FUSE.
Three State Conventions Will Meet
at AHensburg, Wash, Tomorrow.

Seattle. Sept. 6.-The convention of
the PopEIist Democratic and Silver Re
publican parties to meet at Allensburg,
September Z, will attempt to nominate
a fusion ticket, as was done two years
ago. The offices to be filled at the fall
elections are two congressman and two
members of the supreme court.
The fight on fusion is likely to DE Bit
ter for two reasons:
The middIe-of-the-road Populists who
have strong representation from the
country districts are unalterably op-
posed to it and the Populist party will
probably demand the supreme judges in
the apportionment of offices From the
present outlook, if fusion goes through,
as it probably will one of the congress
sionaI nominees will be appOrtioned to
the Democrats and the other to the
Silver Republicans. If there is a full
attendance the conventions will number
about 1900 delegates.
The retiring officers are Elmont Scott
Republican, of New Whatcom, chief
justice Of the supreme court; T. J. An
ders (Republican) of WaIla Walla, as
sOciate justice; James Hamilton Lewis

From the First Illinois and the Colo

Camp Wikoff, N Y, Sept 6-The
First Illinois men had hoped to get
away this morning, but they will not
be able to leave now before Wednesday
or Thursday, the latter day because
of lack of transportation facilities. Two
or three notable Chicago men have tele-
graphed to President Mckinley direct,
urging him to interpose and hasten the
getting away of this Chicago regiment
The regiment will return to Illinois
LOIS strong, of whom about 200 are i'll.
The well men will go on two trains
ahead of the hospital train. Governor
Tanner of Illinois wired Colonel Turner
today that he and his regiment would
have most friendly reception. Colonel
Turner said today that 108 of his men
were missing. Some had been taken on
detached duty or into hospitals or had
been furloughed without notice to him
by the military authorities concerned.
He also said he had not been able to
find these men or to give any account
of them. He was disposed to believe
that records were not as accurately
kept as they should be.

THE pitiab1e condition in which the
Second and Ninth Massachusetts regi-
ments have been returned from their
arduous and gallant service in Cuba

of solicitude regarding the Sixth regi-

authorities of cities to ask for the re-
turn promptly and the mastering out
OF this regiment. have felt it my
duty to decline to comply with this re-
quest so long as the national govern

did patriotism which prompted their
voluntary enlistment VIII sustain them
in any peril or hardships they may be
called on to endure. But the lives of
her sons are precious in the eyes of the
commonwealth, as I am we'll assured
they are to you to whom the fortunes
of our arms have been cOmpetently
entrusted, and / have the honor urg-
emily to request that whether in camp.
IN garrison or on transports, these lives
may be tenderly guarded by every pre-
caution in clothing, food and medical
attendance which science may suggest.
TO this end no effort can be too great
and no expense too lavish The com
mOnWealth through it's constituted
authorities and through the contribu-
lions of it's patriotic citizens ably ad-
m1n1stered by the volunteer aid asso-
citation, will consider it a privilege to

government is making to render its SER
vice less perilOus to the lives and health
of it's gallant sons"
