TO GET RID OF WASHERS.


New York, Nov. s.--A number Of
young literary women of New York
had left off nibbling cake and slipping
chocolate preparatory to an afternoon
session of club meeting. The CONVEX
sation gradually tumbled from lofty
flights to commonplace realities, and
the subject for a time turned upon
the tribulations of an unprotected
woman at night in a great city.
II can only say" remarked an ami
mated young club member, who had
a stunning figure and a face more
pronounced for character than beauty,
that If women knew how to handle
hthose proving beasts in guise Of
human beings there would be fewer Of
them. Not long ago / was standing
one night on the curb of a Broadway
and Twenty third street crossing wait
ing for car when some creature
came up behind me and deliberately
brushed against me. He was neither
rough nor a flop, but a really respecta-
BILE looking, well dressed, middle aged
man. / paid no attention till he tried
TO open a conversation; then moved
to the corner dlagonally opposite. The
old wretch followed and continued TO
make himself Objectionable l dreaded
should have called a policeman; so /
simply turned sharply to him and said
quietly: Pardon me, sir but might l
trouble you to point me out gentle
man?
His sallow face flushed, he took off
his hat in a desperate effort to be
polite, mumbled something that sound
ed like, i beg your pardon and ambled

How to Polish DulIed Mahogany.

How to Polish DuIIed Mahogany.
wash on the Dust of Ages.
To make an old mahogany table
which has lost its brilliant polish look
as good as new is not altogether an
easy task, but it is a possible one.
Water, sapolio and sandpaper are
first needed. Give the table a scrub
bling with the water and sapolio, after
having busted and rubbed it well. Then
take small pieces of sandpaper, one
and one-half degree of fineness,. AMI
rub the table thoroughly, or until all
the old varnish has been taken off
even II the table had not been previ-
ously vanished, 1t needs to be smooth
ed over with the sandpaper. Beeswax
and turpentine come next on the pro-
gramme. Cut UP about ten cents
worth of beeswax, cover ii with tur-
pentine and let 1t stand until 1t forms
paste-about twenty-four hours for
the right consistency. Rub this paste
on the table with a cloth, and a small
quantity will spread over a large
space. Rub it in well. as it is the thor
oughness Of this process which tells"
and If you work long and well with
the wax and turpentine your table is
going to look as handsome and high
ly polished as ever it did in its best
DAYS.
Don't expect to complete the polish
ing operation in a day--or even days
say month from the time you began,
rubbing little each or every other
day. Use plenty of that old-fashioned
commodity, elbow grease" and pom
der cheerfully upon the reflection that
there are many hard things to which
no royal road leads. But the end will
crown the work, and your table will
be thing of beauty, which can be
set forth, without a tablecloth for
luncheon and high teas
II you do not happen to be the pos
SCISSOR of a mahogany dining table, a
black walnut or a cherry one can be
made almost as handsome by similar
process with a small can Of mahogany
polish brought to the rescue.
Use the water, sapolio and sandpaper
as described, then cover the table with
the mahogany stain, put on with fiat
brush; after 1t dries well, perhaps the
next day, commence the polishing pro-
cess with the paste of wax and turpen-
tine and the result will surprise Won
Your table viii shine almost as brightly
as though OF genuine mahogany, which
cost $50 or SIS, when, as a matter OF
fact, you picked IL up at a second-ha
shop for a song.
Our grandmothers used to polish
their mahogany furniture with wax
alone-a weary process-but in these
labor-saving days we have succeeded in
shortening the operation.
To c,san ivory which has gotten Of =

him one day said Or. Hopkins, when
were you in Trinidad?'
Never" was the reply
Il saw a big photograph of you
there" said a traveller. land it was in
a show case and took a snapshot of
it, wondering how you ever came to
sit for a picture in such an out-of- the
world spot"
The snapshot was unmistakable.
DR.. Hopkins declared then that he
would not perpetuate his photo
graphic career by having any more
pictures taken. But to the end of his
life his visits to New York were dis
agreeably marked by the. comments Of
people who stared at him in street cars
or stopped in the street to gaze at him
and say to their neighbors: Where
have 1 seen that face before?"
The result of the election in New
York City had an interesting effect on
the opening prices of stocks the follow
ing morning. Manhattan was hlgh,
Metropolitan low. The theory was that
Manhattan was relieved of most
menacing enemy, and that MetroDol-
itan had lost a very good friend. This
goes to confirm, somewhat the story
that the Manhattan Company had re-
fused during the campaign to help the
Tammany people with money or influ-
ence. George Gould was said to have
been very indignant at the efforts made
during the last two years by the Tam
nanny heads of departments to cut the
company off from the use of Battery
Park and compel 1t to strengthen the
supports of the elevated structure. To
punish Tammany, he declined, 1t is
said, to give them one cent to use in
its campaign. William c. Whitney
came out openly for Tammany, and
the Metropolitan is known to have done
handsomely by the organization. A
great many of the company's improve
ments and extensions could not have
been made without the friendship of
Tammany officials. After the first
furry the price of Metropolitan recov-
cred somewhat on theory that the
reform administration would be fair,
and Manhattan went off a little from
the top after its sentimental expert
ence of satisfaction.
The general market was strong IN
the announcement by James j. Hill,
that while the details remained to be
defined, the conferees on the Northern
Pacific Union Pacific difficulties had
made such progress that there was no
longer any doubt of a final agreement
satisfactory to all concerned. Wall
street was inclined to treat the whole
thing as a closed incident, though the
understanding was that the conferees
had only reached a point where an UNI
pire could decide between them. This
umpire was chosen: William K. Van
derbllt was the man. 1t was expected
that when he had spoken and the final
announcement was made, stocks would
begin slow, sure recovery; slow, be-
cause the exigencies of the money mar
ket would not permit any extensive
speculation. sure, because the black
est cloud on the financial horizon was
dissolved. Duane.

their intention of joining the organza-
ton. Ten or Is years ago a similar move
ment was made and organization effected.
but it has shown little life. or assistance
to the business interests of the place. 1t
looks now as If the citizens were aroused
to the benefits to be derived from a more
active organization, and will push the
thing through to a success.

Williams Pink Pills for Pale People.
About four years ago friend from Ohio
recommended the pills to me, saying they
had benefited his daughter whose symp-

There is hardly person who does not
worry at times and fret about things
that go wrong And worry is responsible
for as much sickness as any other cause.

suit is that the blood becomes Door and
the nervous system impaired. The
power of DIR. Williams Pink Pills for
Pale People in the vast number Of dis
eases due to arrangements of the nervous

ASTHMA INSTANTLY RELIEVED
DR.. R. Schiffmann Astounds the Public with
the Success of His Treatment.

Residents of this place were astonished
by notifications in these columns last
week that the celebrated physician, DR..
Rudolph Schiffmann, would make public
test of his remedy i'm this city. He invit-
ed every man, woman and child suffer-
ing with Asthma to call at Geo. r.
Greenes Drug Store and obtain. abso-
lutely free, a trial box of his medicine.
DR.. Schiffmann adopted this novel way of
introducing his treatment, believing that
a free personal test would be the best and
only way to overcome the prejudice and
scepticsm Of thousands of estimates
who had given up i'm despair after going
through the whole range of so-called
cures He has in this manner proved
the efficacy of his remedy, and without
asking the public to spend penny. DR..
Schiffmann hopes that every sufferer in
this town obtained one of his free sam
pies. He fears. however, that there
were some few who did not before they
were all given out. In order to give
fair opportunity to those who have not
yet used the remedy and also as a guar
antee of good faith, he has now requested
this paper TO announce that he has ar
ranged with the above druggist to re-
fund the money to any person who pur-
chases of them either a SOC or 81 package
of Schiffman's Asthma Cure between now
and Oct. %, and finds that it does not do
exactly as is claimed for it,; the only
condition being that they return not less
than three fourths of the package TO
them Dr. Schiffmann claims that in
every case of true asthma his remedy
willy give immediate relief-usually with
in Aseconds; always within as many
minis 1t has positively permanently
curedest ousands of cases which were con-
sider( 1curable.
