Pan-American Hint.

The great Pan American exposition has
realized fully the expectations OF the
managers, while the great public is more
than pleased with the artistic and in
ventive displays provided.
The creative genius apparent in the
architecture OF the many buildings is
without equal, aud the effects obtained
through the marvellous color decorations
are simply astounding The landscape
work has devolved the grounds into a
perfect paradise. The exhibits are chos-
en- lot and far superior in comparison are
they to those of all other expositions.
Buffalo as city is most delightful
place, and excursions can be made in
every direction to localities intensely in
teresting, but the greatest attraction save
the exposition is Niagara Falls, which is
truly one OF the nsrveIs of the world.
The Boston & Maine railroad is making
every inducement possible for the benefit
of the tourist to Buffalo from New Eng
land. The rates are the iowest-the
routes most numerous-line the most d.
rect and its trains without question the
best equipped OF any from Boston.
The general passenger department OF
the Boston & Maine railroad, Boston,
will, upon application, send you a Pam
American folder, which is repIete in in
formation OF service and is yours for the
asking.

Senator Allison, who has been one
OF the leaders of the republican party
longer than any man now in public
life, always has an attentive audience
when he talks. Asked who would be
the republican candidate for Presi-
dent, he said: sit would take wiser
man than Solomon to predict what
would happen in the next three
years, and upon the things that will
happen will largely, if not entirely,
depend the action of the convention
Asked whether he would accept the
nomination, he replied: ssNo, /
would be seventy I've when the con-
vention met. will stand aside and
see the younger men struggle for the
honor. 1t is great honor, and it will
be great man who can equal the
wonderful record which President
Mckinley has made"

Ho,x to Remove Stains.

ALI stains should be removed before
the articles are put in the washtub. The
sooner a stain is treated the more readily
1t will yield to the treatment.
Pour boiling water through fruit stains;
wnen obstinate soak In a solution of oxalic
acid. Wash vaseiine stains in alcohol !;
paint, in turpentine or alcohol; varnish.
la alcohol; grass or other green vegetable
stains, In alcohol, kerosene, or molasses /;
for stains from blood meat juice, use
white of egg in cold water.
In the case OF milk, cream, sugar or
syrup stains soak in cold water and
wash with soap and colo water. Tar,
wheel grease or machine oil stains should
be rubbed with lard and allowed to stand
few minutes, then they should be
washed with soap and cold water. Tea,
coffee or cocoa stains should be removed
with boiling water; if obstinate, with a
weak solution of oxalic aeid.-Ladies'
Home journal.

last week Edward J. Hunt and NJ. II.

the law by fishing from boat before the

Speaking OF the acceptance of the
Platt amendment, without conditions,
by the Cubans, Senator Allison said
recently: sit is satisfactory, not only
for US but also for the Cubans. The
Platt amendment, adopted though it
was in the hurry and rush of the clos
ing hours of Congress, was drawn with
remarkable skill and wisdom. The
whole document could not be i'm
proved upon. In course Of time the
Cubans will undoubtedly have gov
eminent worthy of the name, but, in
my opinion, they will continue to rely
upon the United States. They will
have to do So"

Secretary Root says there will be no
immediate reduction in the number of
soldiers in Cuba, as the military au-
thority over the island will continue
until the Cuban government is estab-

themselves. There is nothing for this

The question Of revenue taxation in
Porto Rico, which created such a
furore when the Foraker bill was
passed, has settled itself, and was
done SO even quicker than was antic-
jpated. Governor Allen is satisfied
that the present system of insular
taxation produces sufficient revenue
for Porto Rico's needs, and that con-
sequently the island maintains itself
without the use of customs duties on
trade with the United States. He will
call the Porto Rican assembly in extra
session TO pass resolution to this
effect, according to section three of
the Foraker law. The call will prob
ably be issued this week. TIE ses-
sion will be held July a.
