Life Of the Queen Of ItaIy.

TINE King and Queen of Italy lead a
very simple life. King Humbert IS
an early riser, and takes some exer-
i else before breakfast. He eats very
light food-a small roast, little wine and
ice water being the customary menu.
After the noon meal the royal pair take
a short nap, and at { o'clock in the after
noon they take a long drive.
King Humbert devotes his attention to
the minutest details of his household,
economy and order being his watchwords.
Eight o'clock in the evening is dinner
time at the palace. Afterward the King
visits the theater or listens to private
recitations, and he retires promptly at
midnight.

Which
Wins Out?
Sharp Contest Between Rivals for Railroad
Facilities.
Madelia and Fairmont Seem to Have Been IL
Most Active and Will Probably Win.
Announcement Will Be Made this Week Set
thing the 1atter.

BY persons VINO have been Watt hing
the matter closely, The Times is assure d
most empbatically that the mysterious
route Of the Minneapolis s. St. Louis
Omaha extension has practically been
decided upon, and that it is the one
running through the towns of Madelia
and Failmont, Mimi, and Armstrong,
Iowa, says the Minneapolis Times.
It is very evident that the committees
of citizens from these towns have been
more active and aggressive in their cam
paign for the location of the railroad
than have the representatives Of towns
along the other two proposed routes.
General Manager Day of the st. Louis
refused to state yesterday whether or
not the route had been fixed, but admit
ted that a very fair proposition had been
made by the Fairmont men. These gem
tlemen called upon Mr.. Day Thursday,
and some of them remained over in
Minneapolis yesterday. Tney seemed
much elated over the result Of their eff,
forts, and while not talking much, it is
more than evident that they are feeling
extremely confident.
The Fairmont committee did not have
much to say to Mr.. Day for the reason
that they had it all written out in black
and white. Every detail had been antici
pated. They had plats of every town
ship affected by the proposed route, and
told the management of the road just
exactly what they could and were will
| ing to do. It was generous offer which
they made, and an exceedingly business
like one. AS loss of time is now one OF
the things most dreaded by the railroad,
the presentation OF inducements in this
compact and exact form has much to do
with the location of the route. The St
Louis management is extremely anxious
Ito get to work as soon as possible.
The Madelia committee was as well
prepared and as clear IN its propositions
as the Fairmonters. It was expected thai
q committee from Armstrong, Iowa
would come to Minneapolis with the
Fairmont people Thursday, but the i'm
possibility of the roads in the vicinity Of
the Iowa town prevented q further I'M
ion Of forces: The Armstrong commit
!. tee will probably be in Minneapolis to-
day. 81.

slsn't doing thing to the trusts. He
has placed the Standard Oil company in
SO uncomfortable a position that it is
willing to pay half million dollars to
get out. He has just tackled the Sugar
Trust for failure to comply with the
State laws and has assessed it $56, 900
fine. Monnett IS on the warpath, and is
bound to scalp any combination existing
IN violation of State law, or defying
laws in any way. Ohio ought to give
him every support needed.
Monnett really has no more law under
which to carry on his crusade than the
Attorney Generals of other States. He
simply makes use of the quo warranto-
compels the offending Continuation or
Trust TO show cause why IFS life should
not be taken from it by revoking its
character, appointing trustees and " ind
| ing up its affairs. Any other Attorney
General can do the same thing, for every
State has the right to abolish any cor
poration which may be proven guilty of
having used its powers to carry out any
contract, policy or scheme that is against
the public policy of the State and ma
ton.
But what Mr. Monnett possesses, and
many other Attorney Generals do not, is
courage to live up to his oaths to enforce
the laws of the State. Most Attorney
Generals are simply politicians, enjoy
ing the reward of Office for party ser
vice, and they must not weaken their
party By alternating corporation support.
T all Attorney Generals were elected,
not appointed, as the majority are, they
would be amenable to the people, and
might have more courage. Penn. Grit.

had at least given faithful service. II
locks now as if he would have The grim
satisfaction Of coming back and reading
his own obituary. Not many Of US get
that privilege.
It looks as though the Administration
was trying to crawl on the Philippine
question. It's dream of Imperialism is
being rudely shattered by the hard facts
of the situation. Itssis said that Com
mission lately arrived at Manila from
this country IS empowered by President
Mckinley to treat with the insurgents
and offer them self government and in
dependence if they will lay down their
arms With this offer will be coupled
the assurance that our troops will only
remain on the islands long enough to
protest the natives while projecting their
machinery of government.
The Administration is beginning to see
that we cannot keep our 100000
bauble, no matter how tempting it may
appear in some aspects. Things are go
ing very badly in the Philippines. The
fighting is continuous. Every day the
natives break out in q new place ana
kill lot of our soldiers. It is true that
the native losses are greater than ours,
but they have limitlcss savage boards
from whom to draw and we have olly a
handful of our soldiers there. Anyway
we cannot afford to sacrifice our men in
that kind of warfare. The rainy season
has begun and there are alarming reports
of an average of 100 of our men lncapa-
citated daily by the climate. Already
we have been forced to withdraw our
troops to the towns along the coast. OF
course we can hold them indefinitely as
the Spaniards did Havana while the in
surgents held the hills, bul it is to he
hoped that the Philippines tangle will
| lie smoothed soon The death list now is
SAD reminder of the sacrifice Of oul
| brave soldiers to the fastastic vision OF

told us that Beaver Falls people want
to keep the court house and will do it
by casting their votes with the side they
consider the weakest so as to make the
vote about even between the two con
testing places. AS the successful place
must have fifty five per cent of the vote
prospects are that this shrewd move on
the part of Beaver Falls people will
Illustrate both of the ambitious rivals.

For Washing Fine Lace..

ri"ih III" i'aillmorc American.
Soak the lace all night in cold water 70
which spoonful of borax has been added.
In the evening squeeze the water from the
lace and make a soap Jelly. Shred one
pound Of best yellow soap in a gallon ~
water, add two ounces of soda and two
ounces of pipe clay. Let this heat gradu-
ally in saucepan until quite dissolved.
Now take a bottle and wrap a piece OF fan
mel around it, stitch the lace on at one end
and then evenly wind it round. putting a
stitch to keep ii in place at the other end.
Put this bottle into the lather. Rub up
and down, rinse and slightly blue. Lace
can also be cleaned by being put out in
the sun in a basin of soapy water.
Then dry on towel, the points being
pinned out and very gently rubbed with
sponge dipped i'm the soap lather; when one
side is clean do the other in the same way,
and then rinse the lace in clear water;
sponge with little rice water before IRON
ing it. which should be done on the wrong
side with muslin over 1t. If there are raised
parts on the lace, these should be raised
with a knitting needle or stiletto. Fine
and valuable lace may be put into wide
mouthed bottles. three parts filled with the
soap lather, shake 1t well until the water
becomes soiled, change it and repeat until
the lace is clean. Rinse in warm water and
then in cold. and dry as described above
1t is said that soaking lace which has be-
come dfscolored in hot milk instead Of
water for several hours will restore the
color
Blonde lace should boil for an hour in
water with a little blue in ii. then boil
again in fresh water without the blue. 1t
should not be rinsed. Dip 1t I'm a little gum
water and iron while damp. Black lace
should be folded up into packet tied to-
gether with piece Of cotton and dipped
into beer. Rub it gently with the hands.
Squeeze 1t gently, but do not wiring it, and
roll it in a cloth. Place it on a thick piece
of flannel and iron while damp, covering
it with muslin to prevent it looking shiny.
Silver lace or braid may be cleaned by
putting it in a linen bag and plunging the
bag in one pint of water, to which two
ounces Of SOAP have been added. and boil
ing it. Rinse in fresh water. A little spirits
Of wine will clean any parts that tar
nished. Dresses which are trimmed with
lace should be covered with silver paper
when nut aWaV.

Taking Up Serious study.

From Harper's Bazaar.
The independent woman who finds herself
with ample leisure might do worse than
follow the example of the Russian women.
The women of a nation whom we look upon
as semi-barbarians all have some hobby
over which they become enthusiastic, but
theirs is not the passing fancy of season,
or an hour. To it they devote hours Of serious
study. Far more often than not ii is some
branch of science that admits of no half
hearted worship to which they have dedi-
Gated their leisure. and many Of them hav-
ing taken up the pursuit as pastime, final
IL allow it to become the absorbing interest
of a lifetime Sonia KoValegski. that mar
Vicious mathematician, was a type OF such
women and the one probably most widely
known in this country, though she was by
no means an exception among the middle
classes of that great country. That the
ordinary reader is in this country APP
preaching this is evidenced by the OPEN
shelf system now being used in the New
York free circulating library, whose libra
rians say that to many people it is reve-
lation how many girls now go away with
some book of science tucked under their
arms who formerly would have asked for
novel by the Duchess.

early fall and the designs have been de-
cided upon months before-designs which
are cheerfully shown to desirable mid
summer clients.
The woman in question wanted a Persian
lamb coat. She had wanted it for several
years, and had set about getting it in her
own economical way of avoiding enormous
outlay at any one time. The first year she
purchased a muff and collarette. The next
year the collarette was still worn. but sew
eral skins were bought and black broad
cloth gown had their benefit in magnifi-
cent revers and trimming. This summer
the skins which were used on the broad
cloth suit and the collarette have been
combined with more fur and made into a
short coat. If coats grow longer no doubt
more skins will be added next winter, and
1 shall not be at all surprised If few
years hence l meet my economically fash
ionably attired acquaintance in a regal
frock of Persian lamb
VIII Wear Forever.
Sealskin and Persian lamb are said to be
practically indestructible. Such skill is
shown in manipulating them that they can
be made and remade as long as skin and
fur will hold together, and in the latter
every bare spot can be patched with con-
summate skill; while the former can be
dyed and redyed to hide the ravages of
age In spite of their costlineSs they are
the best furs for women who are limited
in their expenditures, as they are not only
among the best wearing furs, but their
richness Is subdued so that they never be-
come tiringly conspicuous and they are
never OFT of fashion.
Indeed, the notion that furs go out of
fashion is a very foolish one. In gems and
laces wise women purchase and wear the
best they can afford, or whatever they have
inherited, regardless Of the passing fancy
of the hour, only conforming to it in regard

royal ornaments and belong to the category
of the few possessions of women which
Dame Fashion does not absolutely control.
