sometimes be restored to glossiness.
Let dozen large potatoes be grated
into gallon OF soft water, stirred we'll
and left to settle for twenty-four
hours. The fabric must then be
sponged with the clear liquid, which
must be absolutely freed from any sed-

direction. Your silk should then once
more be silky.

Into the coffee mill it went, and the

brownstone jar, which was entirely
warm, and then poured the boiling
water into the dipper. She placed the
stone jar in front Of, not on the stove.
Only little water at . time was
poured over it, and two or three times
the whole contents of the jar was
poured through the dipper for extra
strength. The result was coffee that
was rich, brown and fragrant. The
cup was poured only half full, the rest
made up of hot milk.

SOLDIERS ARRIVE TO-DAY.
Twenty Second Infantry Will Sail
for Manila Tonight.

The Twenty-second United States IN
fantry, Colonel H. C. Egbert, will arrive
at Oakland this morning from Fort
Crook, Neb. The regiment IS recruited to
its maximum strength. There will be M
delay in getting it away, as the troops
will be marched directly from the ferry
boat to the Senator and Ohio. These
two transports will in all probability SAL
tonight. The men and officers of Tic
Twentieth Infantry, who were left be
hind, with the recruits for the regular
regiments at Manila will also sail with
the Twenty-second Infantry. From the
fact that General Shafter has received
word that no further accommodations are
to be accorded to the families of volun-
teer officers at Manila, it is thought that
the Government intends in the near fu-
ture to bring hack the volunteer troops.
In this connection a movement is al
ready on foot to give sucn a reception to
the First when it returns the like Cd
which San Francisco has never seen be-
fore and will never see again. A meeting
will be held In Native Sons Hall this
evening by the relatives and parents OF
the boys of the First to take such final
steps as may be necessary to have the
Secretary of War bring home the regi-
ment, and later in the week Mayor Phe-
Ian and General Dickinson and other
prominent citizens will meet for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for the re-
ception to be given the First.

CHINESE BUREAU CASE.
Collector Jackson the Last Witness
Called in Defense of Meredith.

Special Agents Linck and Smith finished
the taking of testimony INTO the peculiar
methods and the alleged bribery and cor
ruption in the Chinese Bureau. Chief
Meredith was before them all of last Sat-
urday and explained as best he could why
he had given the benefit of the doubt in
all cases to the Chinese slave brokers in
stead of to the Government. Yesterday
forenoon was taken up with the examina-
ton of Collector Jackson, who as head of
the bureau is responsible for all its sins.
Mr.. Jackson defended Meredith on every
proposition. With reference to the es-
cape of Fong Suey Wan he said that if
there was any blame for her escape it
should be divided equally among Major
Moore, Chief Meredith, Judge Heacock
and the United States District Attorney s
office. He said also that Major Moore
had informed him that If Meredith had
made any mistake in that matter it was
merely technical one, and was not proof
This morning the inyestigation into the
private love affairs of Major Moore will
begin. Mrs. Sallie c; Pickens. his bru-
nette typewriter; and two other lady
will be called in and win tell what they
know about the amorous personal equa-
ton of the major during office hours.

"BABY" GIBSON IS HERE.
Follows Jimmy Michael to Town
Looking for a Race.

Harry NJ Gibson of Cincinnati arrived
here yesterday and is stopping at the Pal
ace. He is a famous bicycle racer and is
best known as Baby" on account of his
extreme youth.
Gibson is 16 years of age, feet 2 inches
in height and only weighs 81 pounds, so
that he is a second Michael. His first
season on the path was in 1897, when he
won as an amateur in eighteen firsts,
nineteen seconds and nine thirds against
all the amateur cracks of the Eastern
circuit. In 1898 he won the fivemile ma
worlds record time of 9:43.
He then turned professional and took
on a ten mile match with "Plugger' Bill
Martin, who cleaned out Australia by de-
feating every rider of note there. Martin
while in San Francisco on his way East

ARE NOW LIVING IN
DELIGHTFUL HARMONY
THE LEJEALS NO LONGER WISH
TO BE SEPARATED.
Discordant Note Gives Way to
a Soft Sweet Tone.

The discordant note that was struck by
Aloysius T. Lejeal, the talented local mu-
stefan, when he instituted proceedings
against his wife Louise for divorce in Oc-
tober last, was dispelled yesterday by
Attorney J. w. Bourdette, who appeared
before Judge Trout and dismissed the
suit and now all is harmony in their
household.
When the action was filed, Mrs. Lejeal
was living in Erie, Pa. Upon learning of
the harsh charges made against her by
her husband in his complaint, she hurried
home to contest his right to a separation.
While waiting for the case to come to
trial, the husband learned to his sorrow
that he had misjudged his wife. He re-
GREETED that he listened to the idle gossip
of Mrs. Lejeal's alleged friends and set
about to repair the injury done her.
With the assistance of his own attorney
and his wifes counsel an amicable settle
ment was reached and now the principals
are united.
No more will he listen to the friends
of his wife, and she-well she intends
snubbing them on sight.

WILLIAM M. EDGAR IS
SICK AND IN NEED
WAS AT ONE TIME AUDITOR OF
THIS CITY.
Will Be Taken to the County Hospi-
tai, Where He Hopes to
Recover.

William NJ. Edgar, who has been we'll
known figure about town for many years
and who at one time was Auditor OF THIS
citv and county, lies sick and destitute
in a miserable room in Third street
lodging house. He was taken with an at
tack of inflammatory rheumatism on De-

the room since that time. He is unable
TO walk and when not in bed sits in
chair waiting for the night to come,
when he finds surcease from his suffer-
ings in sleep. The proprietor of the house
says that Mr.. Edgar is suffering for the
commonest necessaries of life and his
rent is over a month in arrears. He says
that his lodger has food sent to him by
some friend, but this has been sometimes
but one meal day.
He will probably be taken to the City
and County Hospital to-day, where he can
regain his health.
ii is lust another sad story of a once
nrosperous man who has been reduced to
want. Time was when William Edgar
was a prince among good fellows. He is
now IS years OF age and suffering has sill
vered his hair and changed him so that
his nearest friends would not know him.
He came to this city in 1864 from Lex
ington, Mo-, and after occupying various
positions he entered the Auditors. office
as clerk under Monroe Ashbury in the
seventies. He was. head deputy under
George F. Maynard, Colin M. Boyd and
John p Dunn.
In 1877 he ran the OlllCe OH the DEM
ocratfc ticket and was elected against
Henry Brickwedel, the incumbent and a
popular man, by the large majority of
479o votes in total OF $1,000 cast Al,
the bosses in control at that time would
not give him the nomination at the
next election because he was not amena-
BILE to them. He ran Independently and a
vote of nearly II 900 attested his great
popularity. After his defeat he eschewed
politics and accepted a position with the
Navarro Mill Company in Mendocino
County. He was with that concern for
some time. Five years ago he had the first
