COMPRESSED AIR CLEANING.
The Idea Is Centuries Old-HIexica1 Women Use that Method in
 Washing Clothes. .4

~1 sometimes wonder" said the man from the southwest" relates the New York Sun, whether the inventor who turned compressed air to cleaning pur. poses thought he had ranG-new idea IL so, he was much mistaken. I saw air used for cleaning years ago. If num- tered my years by centuries instead of scores, I think I might have seen 1t at my birth just the same.
 ''The older method is primitive, oi course. While the up-to-date system carries the air from a central station to the point of use. the original way is to press it on the spot. It is less dan gerous. I first saw air used for the next to godly purposes years ago down in Mexico. A. crowd of women were scattered along the banks of stream They knelt by flat stones at the edge of the water. By the side of each wom- an was the pile of garments to be washed. Each article had been thor oughly covered with soap from the soapweed. Nature is generous down there and grows the article.
 '"The women took the garments one by one and spread them out on the flat stones. Then they hirted and twisted ana TuDDed them to take the dirt out. Perhaps you imagine that they used the stone as scrubbing board. Not at all. Mexican matrons don't like to patch and mendor to make new clothes any better than those north of the bor- der
 'The washers took the well-soaped garments and flung them over the stone with a fiirt which caught air un- derneath and puffed them up. This motion Is similar to that of the spoon as the cook beats up the white of ego to make it light. The air caught in the wet cloth was kneaded out as the baker kneads the dough. It carried with it the dirt. The act was repeated again and again until the garment was white. The wear wasn't greater than on a mod ern7I scrubhing board, and the results are as good. I know. because I have worn shirts washed in! thatssvay And this style of using. air tofclean sas an old story, theyssteH me, when Nero ruled.y sas,. s ,,,e

Prof Bailey

Has now the largest and finest acad- emy for Dancing and Department. It is the only strictly legitimate school where the graceful art Is taught in all its branches by a teacher of 15 years practical experience and we'll known throughout the country as one of high repute. We lead while others follow. Again, we make expert dancers in one season. while others perhaps succeed in no less than two, simply because they lack the modern. up-to-date ideas and original method of instruction.

Sam Robinson, the negro who so bru-
tally assaulted white lady of Cobb
county on Monday of last week, was
arrested on Tuesday, tried on Friday
morning, convicted, and sentenced to
be hung September /, the shortest limit
the law allows. The evidence in the
trial as well as his own confession makes
the verdict right beyond question. We
commend the prompt and determined
conduct of the judicial authorities in
this matter. This plan of procedure
is infinitely better than iynching. We
also commend the action of Judge
Gober in excluding from the court
room during the trial la promiscuous

crime. Only those having pass from
him were allowed admission to the

PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, January 22.-The sharp
advance at Paris was the main factor
in a firm and fairly active wheat mar
ket here to-day, May closing &c over
Saturday at 665sc. Corn closed &c and
oats B@Ac lower. The provisions
market at the close was little changed
from Saturday.
The advance in the Paris market,
equal to 2@2Ac here, was founded on
additional reports Of damages to both
the French and Russian crops, while
the prime factor in a strong wheat
market here, was not the only inf1u-
ence. Liverpool was also strong, sup
ported by the decrease on passage and
in worlds shipments, and it was ru-
mored that wheat would have to be
imported to relieve the famine in India.
May wheat opened %@%c over Satur-
day at $685. 66Bc, and advanced on a
good demand to 67Bc, with foreigners
the principal buyers.
On free realizing of profits by trad
ers, the advance was partially lost, May
sinking to 66Nc. May closed firm sc
over Saturday at 665sc. Up to noon
trade was active, but after that more
quiet New York reported ten loads
taken for export. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and -four were equal to
165, 900 bushels. Primary receipts we've
$4,000 bushels, compared with LOSS, 900
bushels last year. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 437 cars, against 757
last week and S4S a year ago. Re-
ceipts here were 3S cars, none of which
were graded contract.
The cor market after a degree of
firmness occasioned by the strength of
wheat, the steadiness of cables, the
smallness Of offerings from first hands
and the fact that the government fig
ures were not as bearish as expected,
turned tail and closed weak, very close
to the bottom. There was scattering
liquidation throughout a rather quiet
session. Local stocks increased 400, 000
bushels, and to-day's receipts were
over the estimate-s95 car May sold
from 33hc to 33c, closing hc under
Saturday at 33@33bc.
Oats were neglected and quiet and
so respondent that 1t mustered no
strength, even when orn and wheat
showed IS. When corn turned oats

off. Receipts here were 244 cars. The
local stock increased $1,000 bushels.
May ranged from 1850 to 23%c, clos
ing h@Ac depressed at 23hc.
Provisions were firm early on re-
ceipts OF holdings under the estimate
and the fact that last weeks receipts
of hogs averaged five pounds less than
the average the previous week. The
demand was active at first, but as Offer
ings came later with l~iberality from in
~fiuential source, the advance was lost.
The hog market turned easy later,
which also caused some selling of pro-
duct, as did the weakness of corn. May
pork sold from $11.00 to S10.S5, and
closed a shade over Saturday at s10.S59
10.87K; May lard from 500 to $6.021A,
closing a shade down at S6.02R; and
May ribs from s5.S7h to $5.77h, with
the close equal to last nights final fig

Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat, 55 cars; corn, 325 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
