there are as many acted lies in tradiny,

lies more or less except children and
fools, though most Of US mean no harm
by it. My old partner used to say that
some mighty clever men would be SHUT
out of heaven for swearing a lie to
their tax returns, for David says,

Then there are the lies published

political lies, commercial lies and med

their diligence in business.
High coloring, venee"ing, varnish-

whether his journal be white or yell
low. He must lie little, even
though it has to be taken back or
modified the next day. And so the
world wags on and the people have
become so accustomed to lies that they
make allowance for everything they
hear or read. When the historian

The Kitchen Grease Can.

Every kitchen ought to have its
grease can emptied once 4 week in
winter; in summer every three days.
All sorts of refuse-fat should go into
it-even the scrapings from plates and
dishes. Greasy water should be Al
lowed to cool thoroughly; then have
the grease carefully taken off before
it goes down the pipes. Skillets and
frying pans ought to be filled with
very hot soda water and let stand
half an hour before washing. This
gives time for the soda to partly sa-
ponify the grease and keep it from
sticking to the pipe or cakinS on top
OF the trap.

Flush the Waste Pipes Often.

One OF the safeguards to health is
frequent Gushings OF the various
drains and waste pipes in the house.
Hot water is better than cold for the
purpose, and at least once week 4
solution of sal soda or potash should
be sent down all the sinks to remove
the grease that adheres to the sides OF
the pipes.

Care should be exercised in the use
Of soaps on delicate fabrics. Many
careful laundresses do not use soap ut
all. but substitute wheat bran Instead.
Two quarts of bran boiled in soft
water and the liquor strained off after
it is cool is just right. This will not
affect the color, requires very little
rinsing and little starch. unless the
article is desired very stiff.
A tablespoon OF black pepper put in
the washing water is farorite method
of some housekeepers for preserving
the color of buff, gray or khaki-colored
stuffs.
When clothes have faded beyond re-
call then it is a good plan to try to
bleach them white. Several boilings
with Just a soupcon Of soda in one
water, but not enough to injure the
fabric. Then put the article on the
grass in the sun and wet it repeatedly
as it dries until il is white.
Fruit stains usually come out when
stretched over bowl and boiling
water poured through. II obstinate,
however, soak in javelle wafer, one
half cup to bucket Of water; then
rinse thoroughly.
Milk, cream. machine oil and meat
Juice should be washed out in cold
water Immediately; soap may be used

TO CUT OUT NEGRO
so MARYLAND DEMOCRATS DE-
eide TO DO.
STATE CONVENTION HELD
IIIiterate Negro Vote Declared Menace
to State - Federal Government
Censured for Census Frauds =
German Listed to Succeed Senator
Wellington if Democrats Win.

Baltimore, Aug. 2.-The democratic
state convention which met here de-
clared the purpose of the party II
successful in the coming election is
to eliminate the negro from politics
IN Maryland if such a thing is possible
under the constitution of the state.
Upon this issue will stand the candi-
dates nominated yesterday for state
officers.
Senator George L. Wellington's
victory will be Arthur Pue German.
This is settled beyond question al
though no formal announcement of his
candidacy has been made. The nOm1-
nal purpose for which the convention
met was to select candidates for the
Offices of controller, and clerk of the
court of appeals and it fulfilled this
task by unanimously naming Dr..
Joshua w. Herring and J. Frank Tur-
ner to succeed themselves.
The platform, which was adopted
without dissension, declares the I'M
qualified right to vote by ignorant
citizens is menace to the welfare of
the state and the state administration
is to be commended for having caused
laws to be adopted restricting the
power of illiterates to cast their bal
lots. It scores the federal authorities
for census frauds and errors in this
state and praises the course Of the
state government in organizing a
new and more accurate count. No
mention is made in the platform Of
the candidacy of former Senator Cor

Port Of Spain. Trinidad, Aug. B.
Confronted by armed rebellion IN his
OWN country, and embarrassed by
gerious detection from his cabinet be-
cause Of his stand in abetting reyolu
ton in Colombia. President Castro OF
Venezuela has reached the most cr1tt
cal stage, thus far, of his stormy ad
ministration. That he will be able to
pass the present crisis without disas
ter to his government now seems
most improbable. By each successive
act he seems more designedly to
court a crash.
Yesterday his troubles were in
creased when the Venezuelan minis
ter Of war, Senior Pulido. leader of an
important political party, resigned al
ter a violent scene in the cabinet. The
minister refused to accept the orders
of President Castro to recognize the
revoIutionists in Colombia as belliger
ents and to deliver a passport &c
Senior Rico. the Colombian minister
Senior PulidO denies that the invaders
Of Venezuelan territory are Colon
bans, as President Castro claims, but
insists that they are revolutionists.
The resignation of the war ministel
has made the situation more critical
The government troops have been de.
feated in encounters with the rebels
near San Cristobal. Other uprisings
are taking place in the interior of tht
country.
Senior Guerra succeeds Senior Pull
do as minister of war. 1t is nov
feared that, in consequence of tn
resignation of Senior Pulido, Presi
dent Castro will declare war against
Colombia, Notwithstanding public
opinion against such a move. Castro
seems bent on his own and his gov
ernment's destruction.
President Castro, while facing the
uprising against his own authority, i
also accused Of furthering secretly
the the reolution against the Colon
bian government, of which General
Uribe-U Tribe is the prime promoter
Arms, ammunition and the other &C
cessories of war have been quietly
struggled into Venezuela through the
waterways of the republic, and tn
first engagement is understood to be
the signal for uprisings in severa
widely separated districts.
General Castro is again expected tc
assert his power as arch-dictator OF
Venezuela by placing a strict censor
ship on all Geographic dispatches
from that country, as well as order
ing a close scrutiny of all mail matter
passing through the general post
Office in Caracas.
