A SHOOTING ARRAY.
At Grafton in Which the Intended Vic
tim Had an Narrow Escape.

GRAFTON. w. Va, May, % DR..
E. L. Love, ex-mayor and present
business manager of the Daily Sen
tinel, entered the hardware store OF
j. G.. PRESS a. Sons, on Main street,
and got into a quarrel with 7. G.
PRESS, member of the firm. When
ordered out he drew revolver and
attempted to shoot, but young PRESS
seized his hand and turned the muz-
Zle so that the contents missed it's
intended victim A scuflle ensued,
in which several blows were passed,
Preiss getting possession of the gun.
About this time by-standers inter
fered and they were separated.
PRESS swore out warrant tor Love
and brought him before Justice Daw
son. Love, through his attorneys
Dent d Guard, waived an examina
ton and gave bail in the sum of,
81 900 for his appearance at court.
The difficulty probably grew out of
divorce proceeding that occurred
some two years ago.
The shooting took place at $50
Tuesday evening. The excitement
for a time was high, and the justice
office was thronged with people dur
ing the hearing.

SENECA AND SECOND.
They are Scheduled to Meet This After
noon on The University Field.

The First team and Seneca were
scheduled to meet on the base ball
field this afternoon. 1t had been
arranged that the Varsity was to play
Seneca but the boys were too tired to
make the contest and it was decided
to allow the Second team to have the
game. In case the rain does not pre-
vent the people who go will see warm
time. There is good deal of rivalry
between the two teams and they will
do everything that they can to win
out.

The Mason Lecture.
JAMES GRANT.

DR.. M. G. B. Mason, Cor Secy. of
the Freedmen's Aid and Southern
Educational Society Of the M. E..
church lectured last night at Com
mencement Hall in the interest of
Jones NJ. e. Chapel on the subject.
"Some Providential Movements for
the Evangelization of Africa" There
was present an audience of about one
hundred and fifty persons. He great
ly delighted his appreciative audience
by his remarkable pathos, eloquence,
and wit. DR.. Mason spoke as fol-
lows: We live in day of missionary
enterprise and enthusiasm. Chris
tian missionaries are found upon all
shores and the white sails of christian
commerce are spread upon all seas,
upon no land has the attention of the
civilized world been SO intensely fixed
as upon Africa. Her salvation is the
central thought of every christian
church, the desire Of every christian
nation.
Continuing DR.. Mason said, One
providential movement is Africa S
growing commerce with civilized ma
tions of the world He quoted sta
tistics by decades to prove the grow
ing commerce. He said all the nations
Of Europe have possessions ia Africa
and are daily striving for more. An
other providential movement is the
education of colored men and women
of America as christian missionaries.
Dr. Mason gave several illustrations
which have come to his personal no
tice of heroic colored men and wo-
men, who have sacrificed much and
have gone as christian missionaries
to the land OF their forefathers. He
said, the christian negro realized that
in order to fulfill his mission in life
he must sacrifice himself f0r the
good Of others.
DR.. Mason paid a glowing tribute
to the white missionaries, who had
been so self-sacrificing as to give up
their lives for Africas redemption.
Another providential movement
was the organization of the Republic
of Liberia. He spoke of the struggles
of this Negro Republic and how to-
ddJ EiiG ldliu ddd ouc Hipcu oedeeS
are becoming more interested in her
future in order that the European
nations may be restrained from TAX
ing possession of her DR.. Mason
closed with remarkably eloquent APP
peal for Africa's evangelization. All
present were delighted with the lee
ture and many were the praise worthy
expressions upon the merits Of the
lecture 1t is due DR.. Mason to make
public acknowledgement of the fact,
that he made no charge to the church
for the delivery of his lecture.

Col. ]. II. Brigham, Assistant Sec
Rotary of Agriculture, is one of the
many farmers sons who was born and
raised on IA farm, and who advanced
step by step until a National reputa-
tion has been acquired. The first 81
years of his life were spent on an Ohio
farm. At the close OF the war, In
which he served his country we'll and
faithfully, being promoted from pri-
yate To colonel, he returned TO his
farm, which has been his home ever
since. He was elected sheriff of Full
ton County for three successive terms:
was elected State Senator and secur-
ed legislation Of importance and USE
fullness to farmers. Joining the
Grange in 1873, he was soon elected
Master Of the State Grange When a
member of the State Senate he secur-
ed the passage OF the bill authorizing
the establishment Of a State expert
ment Station, and was appointed on
the board OF control, with ex-Presi-
dent Hayes and others, he being at
that time also president of the State
Board of Agriculture.
Since 1887 Col. Brigham has been
member of the executive and leglsla-
tive committees Of the National
Grange, and in 1889 was elected Mas
ter of the National Grange and was
unanimously reelected for four sue
cesslve terms.
1t is sufficient To say that Col.
Brigham has filled the positions of
honor to which he has been called
with unqualified success. His APP
pointment as Assistant Secretary of
Agriculture, as the successor Of the
lamented Willets and OF DR. Charles
w. Dabney, Is one with which Presi-
dent Mckinley may we'll be fully sat
isfied.
With this experience as a farmer
and in official life he is well fitted to
fill the position he now occupies.
Col Brigham stands 6 feet 8 inches
high, weighs about $50 pounds, and
is noted for being the tallest man In
official life in Washington.
Morgantown will have an opportu-
nifty to hear him on Saturday evening
June g. A lecture will be given by
him at that time in Commencement
Hall beginning at eight o'clock. The
lecture will be free and everyone Is
invited to attend it.

ate the amount of the tax, and
brighten the voter by assuring him
it will break him up. If each one
will apply a little common sense to
the question he will have ne Difficult
ty in seeing how very small it will
be.
Take the road tax as a standard
by which to compare. 1t is 20eents
on the 800 and the labor tax in adj
sdition. Does anyone feel oppressed,
or In danger of being broken up by
his road tax? If so we have never
seen him. He would be curiosity.
The road tax is a perpetual one.
1t is a necessary one apparently.
and yet we have the same miserable
mud roads, often impossible, seldom
good, year after year The roads
cant be taxed They yield no reve-
nue.. They are constant expense.
The railroad tax would only be
IL cents on the 800; only 3-5 as
much as the road tax 1t would end
In 20 years 1t would give us at
once, and before we could pay
any taxes, eleven miles of rail
road, extending through the long
est way of the District. A part of
1T, ten miles at least, would at once
become a subject of taxation to the
value of over $4,000, at least, to be
fixed by the Board of Public Works.
Ut would be taxed II cents to help
pay the railroad subscription, 20
cents more tor county roads, 81 cents
for local school purposes, rs cents
for county purposes, 25 cents for
State school, and 10 cents for gener
al state purposes, making Sl.93
(which 1t must pay on each 500 to
3ighten your burden and help you to
pay your taxes. All this refers only
to the District taxes and to that
part of the road outside of Morgan
town School District. The rest in
the Independent School District
and in Morgantown, with its depot
and freight building would be sub
iect to a rate of tax of about So IA
on the 500 SO that in any event, up
on any reasonable valuation, the
railroad would return in taxes be-
tween 1000 and $4,000 per annum,
and just to that amount tighten
your taxes. 1t would thus perpetu-
ally yield revenue for your benefit.
Get the Railroad and the money
aaoso. Don't wait. You need the
railroad. You need it now. Vote
the subscription and the road will
be built at once. The money need
ed for the eleven miles of road, over
$4,000, will nearly all be spent at
once in this District. You get the
money to be paid out for labor and
materials, and the railroad both at
once. You get them. Pos.erity will
have the railroad aud it's accumu
lated and created wealth, and can
afford to pay, but you get both rail
road and money nor, and have TWEEN
ty years in which to pay for it, a
little at a time
Consider what a small part of
your 100000, the subscription Of
$4,000 will be, namely, less than
299d, that you will have only I-2O
of that to day in any year, at least
for the first five years, and that the
increase in taxable wealth will,
after that time, be SO great as
still to keep the annual amount of
tax down to II cents, and you at
once see what a small tax will be
necessary, and how great benefit
you will get; railroad and the use
of the money spent in building it
right Oft, and aoic mhen goa need it
most.

is much better to wash laces than to
preserve them in their soiled state, as
they rot and fall to pieces much quick
Ell when soiled and dirty:
Take lace and sew it upon strips of
muslin, each little loop being caught
down with a stitch to the white mus
lin, then roll it tightly around
smooth glass bottle and fasten Sc
curely; then make good suds with
Pearline and rain water, and drop the
bottle into it and let it soak for several
hours. Make fresh suds and repeat
the process of patting the lace often
with the fingers. Rinse in several
waters and then dry the lace on the
bottle in the sun. Lay it on nice
clean towel to dry. A little gum arabic
dissolved in the last rinsing water will
add stiffness to the dainty fabrics. If
this process is gone through with, TAX
ing pains to do it carefully, you will
be fully rewarded for your pains-and
one can wear old heirlooms without
hurting them.
Laces that are to be looked at and
treasured for their history, and are
seldom, if ever, worn, should be kept
upon strips of dark blue paper, the
two being rolled together. This keeps
the laces firm without creasing Or
crushing them.
Where one has been fortunate
enough to have inherited old laces it is
wise to learn the art of caring for
them, so as to get the most pleasure
possible out of them, for they rank
along with jewels, diamonds, and fine
garments, and should be treated with
dignity. Kentuckienne.

ite for stocks and collars, as 1T may DE
washed like cotton cloth, the weave
never pulling" Velvet collars, BOWS,
and the gathers in the sleeves and at
back of skirt catch dust very quickly.
Coat collars and backs Of gowns soil
from wearing the hair braided down
the back, and these should both be
kept down by sponging and pressing.
An excellent sponging preparation is
made by boiling a scant desertspoonful
of Pearline in a large cup of hot water
for three minutes, stirring to keep it
smooth. Turn this into little jar or
large-necked bottle, and keep it near
at hand for emergencies. 1t forms
thick, almost jell-like paste, which can
be reduced if necessary, hut for good
sponging it needs only to be applied
with a damp cloth; then after the soil
ure disappears, rinse eff with the
cloth wrung in clear, warm water.
Obstinate wrinkles and "shininess'
in garment may be very successfully
removed by steaming. A. b. w.

the most important duties housewife
has to look after, and a snowy white
tablecloth is it's chief charm.
To wash dainty embroideries-cam-
brio handkerchiefs and Battenbcrg
laces, etc.-do no rubbing. TO wash
them without it, fill a large bowl Or
clean pan two-thirds full of warm rain
water, and tablespoonful of Pearlinr;
stir until dissolved; put the articles
to be washed in the water and let it
stand an hour, when they will be
clean Wash them out gently with the
hands; rinse through several waters,
adding a little bluing to the last rinse
water. While damp iron on the wrong
side, and be careful not to remove the
irons until the article is perfectly dry.
They will be stiff enough without
starch, and will look dainty aud lovely
enough for the most fastidious.

How to Cleanse Laces.

An old time way Of cleansing fine
'laces would be very helpful now, as
the fad of using the old heirlooms has
become a popular one. The manner Of
cleansing was as follows:
Pour a little alcohol into small
earthen bowl and put the lace i'll it;
cover the bowl and let it stand awhile
for any soiled spots to soften. Put the
lace between the fingers and rinse it
in fresh alcohol. Roll the lace in a
clean towel and take one piece at a
time, and while it is damp pick it'open
with the fingers The lace should be
kept damp while it is being handled.
Then lay between sheets of blOtting
paper and press until it is entirely dry
Pull out every little loop and edge
with a pin, and it will have the ap-
pearance of new lace.
1t is a great mistake to think you
cannot wash the real or fine laces. l
have washed hOniton, Valenciennes,
Point applique and others in the follow
ing way, and they looked like new,
fresh laces, and were as well done as
if a professional had done them and
they charge very high for cleansing
laces, as they consider it responsible
ity to have in charge valuable laces. 1t

Care of Ones Clothes.

AS the girls are growing UP teach
them the science of caring for their
own clothing, do not say cit is easier
to do it myself than to teach them,"
but patiently drill them until they need
never come to you to mend the glove
OF rip in the gown, to curl the feather,
brush the hat, darn the hose, sponge
the grease spot, and press wrinkled
garments.
1t is very necessary to brush gar
ments often. A little loose dust is
easy to remove, but allow it to remain
and gather more and one must spend
much time and strength to dislOdge it.
The best gown and jackets especially,
should be brushed before hanging
them away, the little breaks repaired.
the loose button fastened, and the lit
tie spot sponged out. This habit, once
adopted, is seldom broken, for one is
always prepared to dress at a mo-
ments notice, and what an improve
ment it is over that ineXcusable Sab
bath morning stitch, the rushing
about to get into garments unfit to
wear, while the men folks are patient
sometimes impatiently - waiting,
and the horse is paving his protests.
Shoes need care also, and the best.
Ones shoes should be kept polished
and the buttons in place, or if laced,
the strings should be strong. [ do not
know of anything more annoying than
to have a shOe-string burst at the very
last moment, especially, if you hap
pen to have no new ones in the house.
Laces and wells should be kept pressed,
ribbons fresh, and millinery, especially
flowers, ''picEed up in place. Loops
of ribbon are also liable to become
fiattened or blown away by the wind
and need the same deft touches.
Ribbon should never be ironed in the
usual way, but see-sawed back and
forth under a hot iron, placed upon the
ironing board. This prevents Guessing
and surplus stiffness, and if washed
clean, will look like new.
Liberty silk ribbon is a great favor
