HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Kid gloves will not mold If you pack
them away carefully in dry place.
The appearance of a CRATE may be
improved by rubbing 1t over with
piece of old velvet after it has been
polished in the usual way
Metal teapots should have a lump of
sugar put inside them before they are
put away, otherwise they are apt to re-
main damp and acquire musty flavor.
Loops for hanging up garments are
continually breaking. A. serviceable
loop Is made by cutting strip of kid
from an old glove, rolling In it piece
of coarse string and sewing the edges
of the kid neatly together.
Gilt frames may be revived by beat
ing up the whites OF eggs with an
ounce Of soda and then. after blowing
the dust from the frames with the bel
lows, rubbing them over with a soft
brush dipped in the mixture.
Experts in cut glass advocate the fol-
lowing as the best means OF cleaning:
Wash the glass thoroughly with warm
soapsuds and cover with sawdust. As
soon as the sawdust is dry brush the
article very carefully with soft brush,
reaching all the crevices. 1t will come
out as clear and sparkling as a bubble
fresh from the pipe.

Yesterday was an unusual day in the

interest had been taken by each class

offered II picture as prize to the
class making the best report. The
prize was secured by class No .,

taught by Mr. III. G. Estep, whose to-
tai collection amounted TO $40 G6. The
total collection for all the classes was
$9350. At 1890 the pastor, Rev. VIM.
Clarke, preached n powerful sermon to
a large audience on the subject "The
Sacrifice that Is Crowned" Following
the sermon, seven persons We're re-
ceived into church fellowship, two by
letter and five on profession of faith.

HER VOWS
Spoken Into a Phono-
graph.
A Wedding, Though the Bride
Was Absent.

Toledo, O., Jan. 27.-Miss Nellie
Stone. one of Ottawas prettlest and
popular young ladies, was married
Saturday at Oswego by phonograph
TO ]. +. Duncan, of that city. The
regular marriage ceremony was impos-
sible owing to the fact that the home
of the relatives with whom Miss
Stone was stopping, awaiting the mar
riage, was suddenly placed under
strict quarantine on account of small
pox.
The young lady was in such ner-
vous condition over the delay that her
physician hit ON the phonograph mar
riage, which it is claimed is perfectly
legal In her room ut the Creighton
home, where she was quarantined,
Miss Stone, in the presence of wit
nesses, repeated into the phonograph
the words: 81, Nellie Stone, do take
this man, James f. Duncan, to be my
lawfully welded husband, for better
or for worse, till death do us part
The register was then removed, fu-
migated, and taken to the Duncan res
| idence, where the groom and clergy
man performed their part Of the cere-
mony.
The engagement is romantic one.
Both are newspaper people, and be-
came acquainted through their writ
ings. Correspondence and exchange
Of photographs brought about an en-
gagement, and Duncan has been a fire..
Quent visitor at Ottawa, o., for the
last six months. Last Monday Miss
Stone went to Oswego for the mar.
riage. A friend, stopping with her rel
atives, the Creightons, was seized witt
smallpox of virulent form, and
though he was promptly removed from
the house, the sanitary authorities in
sisted on most rigid quarantine. The
result on the. young lady's nerves was
so serious that the phonograph mar
riage was decided on by the doctor
and gladly assented to by the contract
ing parties. The details were wirct
by the contracting parties TO Ottawa
relatives last night.

Objections Of the
Corporations.
Will Spoil Gov. Nash's
Plan.
Tax Reform Scheme viii Amount
To Little.
Especial Correspondence

Columbus, o., Jan. 27.--The corpora
tions lave spoken and it now looks
as If the much heralded plan of Gov.
Nash to decrease the state tax levy
would in reality amount to very little
and that If the people really expect
fair treatment in the matter of taxa
ton that they must look to the Dem
ocrats for it.
The proposition of the administration
to increase the excise tax and also
place n tax of one per cent. upon the
earnings of corporations is meeting
with much opposition from the cor
porations and incidentally from some
of the good Republican Legislators.
When the bills containing these pro-
visions were introduced 1t was known
that Mayor Johnson's delegation from
Cuyahoga county would present bills
of much the same character, though
differing in detail and it was expected
that the administration bills would
meet with such unanimous Endorsement
on the part of the Republicans
that the Democrats would be prevent
ed from procuring the credit for any such
bills. Howevr, that tn corporations
had evidently not been reckoned with
for the opposition on their part, and
incidentally on the part of
certain legislators, comes as a
surprise to the administration and
will probably result in some very de-
cided amendments to the bills berore
they again come before either the
House or Senate.
That there is n faction in the House
that favors the administration bills us
they stand, no one denies, but whether
that faction is strong enough to carry
out the plan outlined by the Governor
or not, is altogether another question
