Scranton, Pa. Nov. 1S.-In the pres

Wayne MacVeagh, for the Erie com

cross-eXamination before the anthra-

day.
The fourth demand Of the union.
which calls for yearly trade agree
ment, and which means a straightout
recognition of the union, was the bone
OF contention, and although four hours

was made. Wayne MacVeagh, skilled
in the art of cross-eXamination, at.

bility of the union and its unfitness to
make contracts, which it could not

Mr.. MacVeagh weighed heavily on
what he said was reign of terror in
the anthracite region during the pc

fourteen names of men who were
killed during that time, and also sub

The higher the culture Of pair OF
sweethearts the more prominently do
mental displays mingle with the en-

Tho Cleaning OF Gloves.

An undressed kid glove that has
been properly cleaned looks better, is
softer and more agreeable to wear
than new one. Stretch the soiled
gloves on your hand, if you have no
regular wooden hand" to clean them
on. Put cloth over each of your fin
gers and in the palm of your hand
before you put on the gloves. With a
piece of clean cloth dipped in gasolene
clean off all the soiled places, chang
ing the cloth for clean one as 1t be-
comes soiled. Rub the seams of the
gloves very hard. as they arc more
difficult to clean than other parts. Be
careful not to get the gloves too wet
with >gasolene. By degrees all the
soiled places on the gloves will dis
appear The best gasolene leaves
some residuum of oil. To take this
out rub the gloves thoroughly with
talcum powder. Lay them away in
a piece of clean cotton for day. AT
the end of this time shake them thor
oughly, and they will be ready for
wear.

How to Put on New Gloves

The length of life enjoyed by a
glove depends very largely upon the
method employed in putting the glove
on the wearers hand for the first time.
If this is done properly, there will be
no difficulty on other occasions.
Cheap gloves will sometimes split at
the first or second wearing. and it not
infrequently happens that an expensive
one will do the same.
1t requires two people to put on q
glove properly. When the glove is
buttoned up. the second person should
polish the glove smartly with the fiat
palm of his hand. This process ap-
piled to the fingers and back of the
glove will mold it to the shape Of the
wearer's hand.
1t is advisable to use a hook when
buttoning a glove, as the violent strug-
giles to make hole and button meet
tend to wear holes in the finger tips
The manner of taking off a glove
also determines whether it is to last
long and look well.
Never pull it by the finger tips. This
stretches the the glove out of shape
and makes it difficult to put on again
Peel it off in the proverbial rabbit
skin" fashion, turn each finger and
thumb right side out and blow gently
to initiate the glove.
Glove members and mending outfit
are useful little articles to have, and
every girl should provide herself with
one. A ripped glove is an abomina.

A SUPPERLeSS VOLCANO.
when Central American Volcano Ceases
to Smoke.


to Smoke.
The terribls volcanic eruptions
which have recently taken place in the
West Indies would seem to indicate
that In spite of our advanced scientific
knowledge we really know very little
about what is going on under our feet,
and are still as unable to forecast with
any certainty impending subterranean
upheavals as the primitive races who
dwell in SYSTEMATICALLY stricken coun-
tries. While we possess delicate in
struments to measure the magnitude
Of these catastrophes and know all
their causes after they are over, and
do not attribute them to the spleen
of angry devils like primitive peoples,
due warning is concerned, our theories
in practical results appear little better
than their supernatural fancies.
About 80 miles from the port Of
Acajutla in Central America there is
generally in state of eruption huge
volcano called Izalco. At night, wnen
lying in the harbor of Acajutla, you
may see him every 20 or 80 minutes
cover his summit with a mantle of
glowing lava. So far, well. That Is
exactly what the people of the state
keep careful watch over, and they
go to sleep with a sense of security
so long as he Is In eruption. But II
ne stops for few hours. then they
are alarmed, as from centuries of ira
ditional experience they look fer a
tremendous explosion soon: and they
put 1t down 10 this reason:
In the mountain, they say, lives one
big devil with a very large family
for which he finds 1t difficult to pro-
vide, and over whom he has much
trouble in exercising control. AS a
consequence, there are times when the
big devils larder Is empty, the kitchen
fire goes out, or some one in the fiery
household has stomach disorder with
no medicine to hand. So reasoning in
this way, they take food, chickens and
bananas. some medicine, and cautious
ly approach as near the mountain as
they dare venture. Then they light a
fire, place the food beside 1t, and has
ten away to a safe distance to watch
and see what will happen. II Izalco
again commences to eject lava they
are relieved and cry:
"Ah, ha! The devil is happy again.
See, he is getting his supper" And
then they go to cock fight or start
a revolution in perfect contentment.
But II Izalco does not commence to
smoke and get his supper, then they
take flight away out of reach of his
vengeance until his angry humor has
passed over; and really their way of
predicting a catastrophe seems to be
as good as any other Washington
Star.

Women a. Municipal Omcers.

There Is one town in Kansas which
is literally run by women, and has not
as yet run Off the track The town had
become somewhat demoralized by the
laxness Of the city government, and
the people OF the reform party took it
into their heads to elect ticket COM
posed entirely Of women. The mayor,
police judge, city clerk and four coun-
Gil members are women. 1t is not
known whether this is due to the fact
that the reform party had no men
capable OF holding down these jobs,
or simply to the mems disinclination to
try disagreeable and somewhat diff
cult job; but those are the facts.
The first movement made by the
new government was in the direction
OF beautifying the city. Trees and
flowers were planted. new sidewalks
were laid, and new lights purchased.
The second action was taken on the
liquor question, and the illegal sale
of liquor was stopped.
1t is said that the new city officers,
who are all married women, manage
to combine their public and private
duties in a way satisfactory to their
families as we'll as to the city, At
any rate the experiment is unique and
significant, and SO is the name of the
town. 1t suggests revival Of cer-
tain conundrum, for in this case one
may say literally that there is one
town in Kansas which is not afraid OF
women in control of its government
