ETHICS or THE CHINA CLOSET.

Perhaps the most important part of a dining
room IS the china closet. On the arrangement of
the dishes within It depends a great deal Of the
artistic effect that should give charm the room.
The inner woodwork. excepting the shelves.
should be tinted match the wood finish OF the
dining and vanished. For covering the
shelves butchers linen is perhaps the best fabric
and should extend not more than half inch below
the edge Of the shelf. \ line of drawnwork or
scalops in buttonhole stitch may finish
the edge. a soft pad should be put under the linen
cover TO lessen the danger of breaking from a slip
jar.
When the shelves sufficiently far apart, II is
well put screw hooks into the under side. on
which to hang cups, punch glasses and small
cream pitchers. These should be placed with due
regard to harmony Of color and form. The saucers
may be hung the back in wire china racks or
may stand in piles I'm the corners.
Heavy pieces of cut glass. such as punch bowls
and salad bowls should be put on the lowest shelf
for security. Lighter pieces may go on the top
shelf No matter how crowded the closet NAV be
nothing should ever he placed inside a piece of
cut glass If necessary to economiZe space the
better way is to put the small article first on the
shelf and invert the larger il. The upper
piece must rest absolutely on its margin. with
occasional bit Of colored glass gives a pretty va
riety to the arrangement.
In placing large patterS narrow strips Of wood
should be tackled the shelves unless they have
the proper safety grooves to keep them from
slipping.

As TO GUILT OF GREENE AND GATNOE

Broadway. counsel for Greene and Gaynor in the
Carter fraud case. yesterday made light OF a story
from Washington the effect that President Nc
Kinley was on the point OF releasing Captain Carter
but changed his mind upon the finding of fresh evil
dence which made the governments case against
Greene and Gaynor much stronger than it here
tofore has been. After reading the story Mr. Rose
said:
All this matter be found in the printed testi-
mOny submitted in the hearings held in this CITY
last December. They won't be able to find any
thing that will prove our clients guilty for the good
reason that they are not guilty.
General Burnett, United States District Attor-
ney said:
There is nothing new at this time in the Carter
case so far as this office is concerned. Judge
Brown has the testimony in the proceedings fnsff-
tuted with the idea of transferring the trial Of
Greene and Gaynor to Savannah Commissioner
Shields found there were grounds for granting the
motion for a transfer. Justice Brown will decide
whether that view is correct.
