ABOUT THE HOME.

Salt used upon carpets when sweep
ing will brighten them and act as a
preventative of moths.
Gum camphor kept in the case or
closet with new silverware will tend
to prevent furnishing.
For dipping articles to be fried one
may use the whole egg or fthe white
alone, hUt not the yolk alone.
Waller crackers, when spread with
grated cheese and slightly Drowned in
the oven, are dainty to serve with
salad.
A new way of serving poached eggs
is to pour Drowned butter over
slices of toast before placing the egg
upon it, and sprinkling the whole
with finely chopped pickle.

MORE MONEY FOR WOODEN MILLS.
Messrs. Crawford and Dunn Meet with
Directors of Virginia WooIen Conn
pany and Decide TO spend
$4,000 More.

President w. II. Crawford and Sup
~erintendent Thomas L. Dunn, of the
Crawford Wooden Company, met with
the board of Directors of the branch
wooden mill-The Virginia Wooden
Mill-in Winchester Yesterday. AT
the meeting it was definitely decided
to purchase $40, 600 worth of addition
al machinery to be installed at once
in their plant now nearing compile
tion. This decision was arrived at
after a long consultation with the com
pany's prospective patrons, who pre-
fer to patrnoize a firm that manufac-
lures the various qualities of goods
rather than any one or two special
qualities.
The money has been raised among
the present stockholders who, now
that the factory is about to begin OPP
erations, are more pleased at the in
vestment they have made than ever
before. The additional machinery
will be the latest devised and will
turn out the finest quality of wooden
goods. When the company was organ
lied it was their intention to manu-
facture only the medium grades of
goods.
The Virginia Wooden Company is
Winchester's latest industry. 1t was
organized last October, a site was OBJ
tanned and the factory was begun at
once. The paid-up capital stock was
$25, 900 which with $40, 600 subscribed
yesterday makes the total paid-up
capital stock $50, 900.
The buildings are the largest in Win
chester used for manufacturing pur-
poses. The machinery is now being
installed and the factory will begin
operations on April Is.

HANGS BY THREAD.
Does It B. Gregory's Liberty--f Ever
He Returns to berkeley County He
Will he Re-arresfed


Thomas B. Gregory is free, but his
freedom hangs on a thread.
BY some slick legal proceedings he
secured his liberty from the peniten-
tiary after having served only seven
years of his term but if he ever re-
turns to Berkeley County he will be
re-arrested. There is another indict-
ment on the docket of the Circuit
Court for which he has never been
tried and if he ever sets foot on Ber-
kelley County soil he will be arrested
and tried on that charge. The charge
is that of breaking into the smoke
house of Thomas Files, near Vancles-
vile, and stealing a portion of the
contents. Prosecuting Attorney Pit
ger states that it is his intention to ar
rest him if he ever returns and try
him on that Indictment, which has
been held back for him if he ever re-
turns to the county in which he COM
mittted the wholesale depredations.
The writ of habeas corpus was
awarded without the officials of this
county having had any knowledge of
the proceedings. If they had they
would have fought it and they think
they could have prevented it.

MR.. CARNEGIE RETIRES.
A Formal Announcement From the
Multi Millionaire.
A FIVE MILLION ENDOWMENT.
--
II is to Establish A Fund 70. the Benefit Of
Superannuated and Disabled En-
ployes Of the Carnegie Com
pany--Letters to Pits
burgers.
A FIVE MILLION ENDOWMENT.

Pittsburg, March 1.-Two commune
cations from Andrew Carnegie, which
are officially made public, tell of the
steel kings retirement from active
business life and of his donation of
SIS, GOO, 900 for the endowment of a fund
for superannuated and disabled en-
ployes of the Carnegie company. This
benefaction is by far the largest of
the many created by Mr.. Carnegie, and
is probably without a counterpart any
where in the world. This fund will in
no Wise interfere with the continuance
of the savings fund established by the
Is years ago for the benefit
of it's employees. In this latter fund
nearly 81, 600, 900 of the employees saw
ings are on deposit, upon which the
company by contract pays s per cent
and loans money to the workmen to
build their own homes.
In his letter addressed ito the good
people of ~Pittsburg," Mr.. Carnegie
says:
IAN opportunity to retire from bust
ness came to me unsought, which |
considered Il my duty to accept. My
resolve was made in youth to retire
before old age. From what have seen
around me ! cannot doubt the wisdom
of this course, although the change is
great, even serious, and seldom brings
the happiness expected. But this Is be-
cat,se so many, having abundance to
retire POI have so little to retire to.
The fathers in olden days taught that a
man should have time before the end
of his career for the making of his
soul | have always felt that old age
should be spent not, as the Scotch say,
in making mickle mair," but in max
ing a good use of what has been ac-
quired, and | hope my friends of Pitts
burg will approve OF my action in re-
firing while still in full health and
vigor, and | can reasonably expect
many years for usefulness in fields
which have other than personal aims.
THE pain of change and separation
from business associations and en-
ployes is indeed keen; associates who
are at once the best of partners and
the best of friends; employees who are
not only the best of workmen, but
the most self respecting body of men
which the world has to show.
but the separation ever from a
business point of view is not absolute,
since my capital remains in Pittsburg
as before, and indeed / am now in
terested in more mills there than ever.
and depend upon Pittsburg as hitherto
for my revenue"

THREE TO BE HUNG
AT MOuNDsvILLE IN THE NEAR
FUTURE FOR MURDER.
John Wesley Beatty Hangs April
18th. and Sam sheppard on
June lst--Lud Madison

There are three hanging scheduled
to come off in the near future at the
West Virginia penitentiary, the first
on Friday, March 22d, when George
Carter, colored, of Charleston, will
swing into ETERNITY. Carter's crime
was the killing of another color ed
man named Whistler. The pair had
played poker, and Whistler won all
of Carter's money, a considerable
sum. A few days later they met in
a shoe shop, and Carter asked Whist
Ter for a loan, which the latter refused,
where upon Carter pulled a revolver
and killed Whistler.
John Wesley Beatty, of Preston
county, may hang on April 18th he
was to have hanged on February 18th,
but there has been a stay of execution
and the mans case goes before the
pardon board shortly. A Sol of Beatty
stole cider from a neighboring farm
er, David Nine, who had the boy
arrested. When the boys father heard
of this he picked up a rife and went
cunning for Nine whom he killed.
The boy got a year for the theft of
the cider and the father was sentenc-
ed to hang. Strong efforts are max
ing in his behalf.
Sam Sheppard may hang June LIST he
was to have swung off on March LIST.
but was given a stay of 80 days by
the state supreme court. before which
a writ of error will be argued short
ly. Sheppard killed his wife and
step son and was believed by many to
be insane.
Nearly a year ago Lud Madison,
colored, of Fayette county, was to
have been hanged, but he was repriv-
ed, and a writ of error has been hung
up in the supreme court for over a
year and is believed to be lost strayed
or stolen. He killed a colored man
with whom he had been on an ex-
tended spree.

POULTRY SHOW.
Splendid Exhibit to BE Made Mt h
Pan-American Exposition.

RAn-AAnerlca ExpOstNfOn.
In planning a great Exposition of the
magnitude of the Pan-American, to be
held in Buffalo next summer, where all
the great industries of the United States
will be represented by exhibits which
will be of the best quality and charac-
ter that can be produced, the wisdom
of the management is shown in the
magnificent preparations that are be.
ing made for the Division Of Live
Stock.
In no line of breeding domestic ami
mails has greater strides been made
than in the poultry industry, and, while
the interest taken in the Live Stock Di-
vision of the Exposition by prospective
exhibitors is very encouraging, the
poultrymen of the United States and
Canada are manifesting a interest
that Is truly phenomenal. The poultry
men in the past few years have seen
the industry double many times until
today it exceeds in value any single
farm crop. The annual sale of eggs,
poultry and fancy birds for breeding
purposes in the United States and Can
ada exceeds $1,000, COO 900. The pro-
posed show at the Pan-American will
be fully adequate to the great interests
involved. The time of this show will
be most propitious to the fanciers-Oct.
21-31-and the accommodations viii be
all that are desired. The stables, Gov
erlng ten acres, will all be devoted to
the poultry and pet stock show.

Lundin.s the Big Worcester Wrestler May Be Here Tomorrow.
 Prof Dwyer has gone into careful training for his match next Thursday night with H. Lundin, the big Swede, from Worcester. He realizes that he is up against pretty stiff argument, for Lundin ontweighs him by more than twenty-five pounds. With the strangle hold barred, however, he feels that Lundin win have to go down to defeat. Lundin may be in Waterbury tomorrow night, and will finish his training here, probably at the Wash ington Hill Athletic club rooms. He will bring with him some of his Wor- cester friends, who are deSirOuS of wagering few of the Hong greens on the big fellows chnaces. Dwyer's many friends in this city will back the professor to the last ditch. There is quite q little feeling over this match because Dwyer believes he was given the worst end of the game in Worcester and he it was that insisted a-purse of $2OO be placed ill the stake holders hands before lie would talk about another match. It will be a bat tie of two we'll built athletes and will be fought to q finish,

A big delegation of Waterbury sports are going to Hartford on Thanksgiving afternoon to witness the McGovern and Corbett bout. After the fight up there is over about 100 of the sports are coming to Waterbury to take in the wrestling contest. Many of those who are coming are friends of Harvey Parker and they want to get line on the professor before he tackles the little demon of the wres- ting world.

Hanged HerseIf in PnhIIc.

A strange story comes from China of the public suicide of a Chinese wom- an at Foo Chow. She resolved on the deed after the death of her husband and informed the public of her inten- tion. The taotai endeavored to pre- vent her, and on account of typhoon and floods the suicide was twice post poned, but all efforts failed to divert the woman from her purpose, and, be- deeked in her finest clothes, she pub liely hanged herself on platform be- fore which stood several hundred spec taeors.
