The Philippines and the Debt of Cuba Figure More Conspicuousiy Than
 Any of the Others.

Paris, Oct. B. Tho joint peace com- mission of the United States and Spain devoted Tuesday, according to The Gaulois, to the examination of tho so. lution which it was possible to give to the two questions of the protocol. The Philippine question, The Gaulois adds. was discussed incidentally, the United States commissioners seeking to impose a system of compensation for claims com nected with the entire group by assum. ing the debt, provided Spain guarantees the Cuban deot. The Spaniaris, it fur ther appears, wish the United States to assume the Cuban debt and hand over to Spain all the war material In Cuba and Porto Rico. The discussion, ac- cording to The Gaulois, was very ant mated. Judge Day, president of the American commission, and Sener Mon tero Rios. president Of the Spanish com mission, having received precise instruc- tions from their respective governments. The Americans consider they can not discuss the principles forming the base of the protocol to which the Spaniards reply that the protocol was signed at a critical moment under such pressing necessity that 1t cannot be considered as expressing the sovereign will of free nation

How to Clean .Furs.

'The ancient idea that really good
furs will last forever is a fallacy, and
many. an owner of o fine sealskin jacket
or fine ermine cape will soon be as
tonished when she looks at her furs
for the first time since their long sum-
mer seclusion, to find that they look
very shabby after lying in camphor
chest for six MONTHS" said New York
furrier.
eff dealer has had charge of such
articles during the off season they are
kept in good condition, because he has
every convenience for cleaning and
taking care of furs. But if the owner
has taken them into her own keeping
she will no doubt be glad at this time
to learn how her treasures may be
renovated and made to look 'as good
as new
"Ermine and sealskiu are best
cleaned with soft flannel. Rub the
fur delicately against the grain, and
when it has been thoroughly lifted and
reversed. dip the flannel into common
-four and rub lightly any spots that
look dark or dirty. Then shake the
goods we'll and rub the fur with g
clean dry flannel until the -four is all
removed.
''Sable, chinchilla, squirrel and
monkey skin may be very effectually
cleaned with hot bran. Procure {
small quantity Of bran meal and hea'
it in an oven until it is quite warm
Then rub it softly into the fur ant
leave the goods for five Or ten min
utes before shaking to free it from th'
bran.
mink may be cleaned and fresh
ened with warm cornmeal, and, lik'
the other short-haired furs, may b.
done without removing the lining
But the long-haired goods are bes
ripped apart and freed from stufinI
and lining.
! 4'Those who may not, care to go t
tho trouble Of taking fur garment
apart will find that the simple remedie
I have mentioned will go long wa
toward making the jackets and cape
look clean, even if not ripped apart.

FRIENDSHIP ABOVE MONEY.
How Beverly Tucker Escaped With sos
600 on His Head.

wv on r1iS Eedu'
After the assassination OF President
Lincoln Secretary Stanton offered re-
ward of SO, 900 for the arrest OF Jacob
Thompson, who had been secretary OF
the interior in Buchanan's cabinet;
Beverly Tucker, c. c. Clay and others.
Mr.. Tucker made his escape through
faithful friend on his arrival at De-
troit. In the early morning he crossed
in the ferryboat from Windsor Cana
da, to Detroit, and the first person his
eyes rested on was the late Isaac N.
Cary, so we'll known in Washington:
but who was then residing at Windsor.
As Mr.. Tucker expressed it, he con-
cluded he was gone The $4,000 re-
ward, and what Cary might deem his
duty, was, he thought, too much to
leave any hope for his escape. He
walked to the bow of the boat to try
| and consider what he should do He
was somewhat disguised as an Eng
! lishman, with their usual ''impedi-
menta" of rugs, canes, umbrellas, etc.
and, while he was considering, a
voice behind him said: "Mr. Tucker,
where are you going? Don't you know
the cars are regularly searched, and
you are almost sure to be recognized?"
"Well, Isaac" said Beverly, II am
trying to get to Kentucky, and from
there into the south, and l must take
the chances" Cary told him to 60 to
the hotel, feign sickness or fatigue,
and remain in his room until night.
He said he would buy his tickets and
come for him at dusk and accompany
him to the cars. He did so, and at
dusk Cary came and accompanied him
to the cars and sat with him until the
train started. The soldiers passed
through the cars, but concluded Bever-
ly was some Englishman, and being in
company with a colored man, he must
be all right. Then the cars started
Cary bid him good-by, and he went on
his way rejoicing at having met SC
good friend as Isaac Cary. Some
time after Cary came to Washington
and obtained a position under the city
government which he held until his
! death. The writer went with Mr.
Tucker, on his return to the city, tt
see him and thank him again for his
friendly aid. Such an act of friend
ship, weighed in the balance agains
$25,OOO cash, deserves to be remem
bered.- Post

Women in University Life.


One of the reports of the Educa-
tional Department in England has a
special table devoted to the subject OF
the admission of women to university
life. Inquiries have been instituted
as to the arrangements made for wo-
men students at l62 of the universities
Of the civilized nations in both hemi-
spheres, and 139replies were received.
The questions asked were: Are wo-
men admitted as members of the uni
versities? Are they admitted on the
same terms as men? Are they admit
ted to lectures? Are'they admitted to
examinations? Are they eligible for
university degrees?
1t is significant of the advanced
Liberalism of Scotland and Wales that
their five universities have no answer
but eyes" to make, save as regards
certain medical courses in the north
country. Australia, India and Can
ada also answer eyes," and Toronto
proudly says, "No advantage is grant
ed to men which is not open to wo'
men," New Zealand gives practically
the same reply. France, Belgium,
Holland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden
Switzerland, Greece, Italy, and, Of
course, the United States, have almost
unbroken columns OF eyes" The
