DETROIT AFTER STREET CARS.
New Commission Takes a Step Toward
Municipal Ownership.

Municipal Ownership.
Detroit, April 3.-The members of the
Detroit street railway commission, Gov
ernor Pingree, Elliott G. Stevenson and
Carl E. Schmidt, appointed by the city
council, took the first step toward the
negotiation of a bargain looking to
municipal ownership between the pres
emit owners of the street railways in De-
troit and the commission representing
the city, when as individuals they
dropped in at the quarters of Tom l..
Johnson, president Of the local compa-
MES, and spent social hour with the
railway magnate. Mr.. Johnson was
evidently pleased at the action of the
council in selecting the commission.
Governor Pingree like his fellow-com-
missioners, protests his entire willing
ness to submit the proposed terms of
purchase at the proper time to the
council and the public. He frankly
says his previous negotiations with
Johnson resulted in his securing an OPP
ton. This option, he asserted, was a
short one, and he was sure the outcome
would be Scent fares with transfers,
and" added the governor. replying to
charges of having rushed the act, I'm
willing everybody should know that I'm
the old cuss' that helped push that bill

HOW TO REMOVE STAINS.

Best Methods For Taking Unsightly Spots
Ont Of Clothing.
The art Of taking stains out Of wash
goods is one in which the expert house.
keeper should excel. A slight knowledge
Of simple chemistry is, in this connec-
ton, most valuable. and often enables
one to remove unsightly spots on gar
ments that seemed hopelessly spoiled.
Calico. or the cambria goods which
have generally succeeded it in use, is
often faded in washing by soap which
contains a proportion Of soda or some
powerful alkali. There are certain pat
emit starches that show by their action
on delicate cadet blues and green's that
they contain an injurious alkali.
The best treatment for material that
has been faded with an alkali is to dip
it carefully in weak bath of vinegar
and water, rinse it we'll and iron it
smooth at once. It will require little
experimenting to ascertain exactly how
strong an acid bath is require to neu-
tralize any given alkali stain. It is
more difficult to neutralize the acid
stains. because they are in spots, and
the parts Of the garment which have
not been stained will suffer if exposed
to the treatment Of moderately strong.
alkali soap. Where the color has been
bleached out by the sun there is moth
ing that will restore it.
Iron rust stains, which seem to be
one of the most indelible, are easily
drawn out Of white goods with lemon
juice, salt and strong sunlight. Satu-
rate the spots with lemon juice. Spread
the salt thickly over them, after laying
them where the strongest sunlight will
shine upon them for at least six hours.
Take up the stained goods at the end of
this time and wash them we'll. If the
spots are not entirely gone, expose
them to the sun in the same manner as
before Rub the spots thoroughly with
soap and water to remove the lemon
juice and salt, and the last vestige of a
heavy stain of this kind will disappear
Ink stains yield to milk. Soak the article
in sweet milk and set it where the milk
will sour. After few hours rub out
the ink stains as well as you can in the
milk. If dull vestige remains, bleach
it out ON the grass. Obdurate black
stains of ink yield to this treatment,
which is so strong that it draws the
color out of colored goods and can be
used only on white goods.
Almost any chemical means by which
such stains as iron rust or ink are re-
moved from goods will also remove
color. 1t is therefore difficult and usu-
ally useless to treat stains Of this char
acter on oolored goods. Stains of tea,
which become permanent when boiled
in, are readily removed with cold water
and soap, as great many other stains
are. Coffee stains and the stains of all
fresh fruits may be taken out with boil
ing water. Pour the water through the
stain or soak it in boiling water until
the spot disappears Wine stains are re-
moved by spreading salt over them
while damp and afterward rinsing them
out with boiling water.
