TO REMOVE UGLY STAINS.
by Following These Instructions the
Thing May He Easily Ac-
cOmpiished.

Keep grass stains wet with alcohol
for half an hour by pouring on very
little at time before attempting to
wash them out. They are harder TO get
ridof than ink stains, and once through
the wash, or half cleaned, are indellible.
After soaking with the alcohol, wash
them very quickly, using soft tepid wa
ter, white soap and small stiff-bristled
brush. First wet the brush and rub 1t
back and forth with sort of scooping
motion, then rinse the bristles we'll
rand rub on little soap. Brush hard
for a minute, then turn the stain wrong
side up and brush, using clear water
plentifully, but keeping the stain
pressed down in the folded cloth, so the
water will not spread, says the Wash
ington Star.
When wine or ink is spilled, never
try to sop it up with dry cloth; use
one wrung out hard instead. A dry
cloth will smear aud spread it, the wet
one soak 1t up. Boiling water poured
through takes fresh ink stains out Of
cloth. From paper they are best dis
solved with alcohol, laying the stained
leaf over many thicknesses OF blotting
paper. Alcohol further takes ink stains
off the fingers, also berry stains and
those made by pee,ing fruit in guam
tity. Vinegar has much the same prop
erty. So has the peel of sour apple
Or the half Of green tomato.
Light party frocks, as tarletane, or
candle, silk null, may have their youth
renewed by careful brushing, particu-
larly in the frills and Fuckers, spraying
with dissolved gum and pressing with
moderately hot irons. For dark, thin
frocks or black lace use, in place Of the
gum, stale beer. Dusty, rusty black
lace may be dipped in il, layed, but not
squeezed, shaken out, and clapped and
pulled until almost dry. Press with
warm not hot irons, and hang to air
for 12 hours. The beer restores the
color and gives just the right stiffness
for lace. Silk may be sponged with it.
but should be sponged afterward with
elear water, and smoothed by rolling
up when almost dry in place Of ironing
Either undiluted beer or pressing with
irons makes II hard and papery.

ooFnslius Alvord, whe stole sIoo. 900 from
the Bank Where He Was EAplsysd,
Arrested In Boston.

Boston, Oct. So.-Cornelius L. Al
word, Jr., the absconding note teller

stated that he had not been near
Mount Vernon, but that he left New
York last Tuesday at midnight and
arrived in Boston Wednesday morn
ing.
In referring TO horse races, he said
he, had backed horses, but never on
race tracks, and had owned fast
horses himself. He said he had lived
his life and had taken life TO its full
at the rate Of $4,000 q year or more
He said he would not make any fight,
would throw up his hands, take his
sentence, and after that was over
would come out in the world again
He said he knew he would be unable
to secure bail and that he had nothing
with which to make restitution.
On being searched at police head
quarters only a few dollars wer,
found in his pockets. These he wal
allowed to keep. He sent Telegram
to Lawyer Gardiner in New York
asking him TO meet the train wheI
II arrived In New York.

TALKS OF PORTO RICO.


Canton, o., Oct. 27.-Gov. Wood, OF
Cuba, reached Canton Friday morning
and remained until II o'clock at night.
Gov. Wood came to confer with the
president and Secretary of War Root
on number of matters connected
with Cuban offices. He was accom'
panied by Perfecto Lacoste, secretary
of agriculture of Cuba.
Another caller at the Mckinley home
was NJ. G. Brulbaugh, commissioner
Of education for Porto Rico. Mr.. Brul-
baugh said conditions in Porto Rico
are steadily improving. There is much
interest and considerable excitement
over the first election. The contest
has developed lines similar to those in
the United States. The republican
party is in full hamony with President
Mckinley and for American admin
istration, while the federal party with
in the past two weeks has indorsed
Bryan. declared for Porto Rico and
against American administration. The
latter party embraces the pro-Span-
ish element, he said, and the former

covery is being made from tiir A~ss'-
cane distress. The goyeronieat Of
Porto Rico is as solvent as any bank,
he said, and no debt is contracted un-
til the money is available TO meet IT,
The people as a class are eager for
education and accepting all the,oppor
tunities offered them. The duties on
imports from the United States for
the first week of October exceeded the
total trade Of the United States with
the island for whole yea under
Spanish dominion, showing the open
ing of an important market.
