RUINED FINANCIALLY.
The Enemies Of the Hero Of Santiago Get in
Their Deadly Wark.

Their Deadly Wark.
A Washington dispatch of the 2lst
inst. says: The savings from forty
five years of active service in the
United States navy have been eaten
up by the expenses of the inquiry by
which Admiral w. S. Schley hopes to
clear his record as q naval officer.
Since the final adjournment of the
public sessions Of the court, the Ad-
miral has been staying at the Airing
ton hotel, attempting to extricate
himself from the financial tangle
caused by the inquiry. He has ended
with his accounts, and he finds that
every cent of the $4,000 which he
had expected 10 leave to Instantly, in
addition to all the prize money which
he will get for his part in the Spanish
American war, has been spent on the
inquiry.
Financially the Admiral is worse off
than he was almost half o century
ago, when he entered the naval acad-
envy as cadet. Naval officers find it
difficult to save much of their salaries.
The government is not any too liberal
with its fighting men, and the social
demands of their position generally
keep those officers who have no other
income than their salaries hustling to
make both ends meet.
Admiral Schley had been able to
get together just $4,000 during his
long career in the navy. As retired
Rear Admiral the government will
give him $5.625 q year 90 long as he
lives, but the money with which he
had hoped to assure the comfort ol
his wife should anything happen to
him is gone. His family says. how.
ever, that the clearing away of the
cloud placed on the husband and f.
theirs naval record by Maclay, the
historian, and his opponents in the
navy, will be Of more lasting satisfac
ton than anything that money could
buy.
During the inquiry Schley did no,
hesitate moment at mourning any
expense that Mr.. Rayner or Captain
Parker believed was necessary to the
success Of the case.
II cannot say that I wish it back,
said Admiral Schley, "but I do wish
that I had the assurance now that
had . year ago that my wife would
never come to want"
It is more than probable that some
of the Admiral's friends who are mem
bers of Congress will introduce bill
at the coming session to reimburs,
him for the expenses incurred by til.

Some Uses Of BOrax.

1t is pity that more housekeepers
do not realize what very useful and
beneficial agent borax is in the home.
Until within recent years the price of
imported borax was SO high that its
use in the household was not common.
Now that we furnish our own supply
it is within the reach OF all the most
convenient form for domestic purpose
is the powdered borax which is sold in
boxes.
For laundry work it is Invaluable,
and the washerwoman of Belgium and
Holland. so famous for the beauty OF
their work, use it instead OF soda it is
a neutral salt and will not injure the
fabric. In washing, handful of bo-
rax to ten gallons of water will save
nearly one-half that ordinary quantity
OF soap, and will make the clothes
beautifully white and clean. 1t is es.
pecially good in washing silk, wooden
materials, lace and delicate fabrics.
Many laundresses also stir little into
the starch as they claim it gives bet
ter finish and makes the starched ar
ticle easier to iron.
In dish washing and kitchen work
it possesses the advantage over so
many other articles of common use OF
no: injuring the hands; OH the con-
trary, it is beneficial to them, as it is
one of the ingredients which compose
nearly all good salves and washes for
the skin. 1t is excellent in driving
: away ants and all kinds of summer
pests, and used about presses, refriger-
ators and sink is exceedingly purify
ing.
For the toilet its good offices are
manifold; it relieves chapped hands,
tender feet. weak eyes and removes
dandruff from the hair. It is very
soothing to burns and bruises, and a.
. mild antiseptic cannot be surpassed.

for he could make out of Sodom. Its

and family. He invested in sin and the
products Of sin only to lose all. The ap-
