B1 WAY OF SUGGESTION.

Don't put celery on ice without q
wrepping of wet cloth and paper.
Cool rain water apd soda will re-
move machine grease from washable
fabrics.
Wash windows With ammonia, hot
water and sponge. and dry with old
newspapers.
If you can get some cedar dust.
sprinkle 1t on your stove while cook
ing vegetables that have . strong
odor.
Kerosene will soften boots or shoes
that may have been hardened by water,
and render them as pliable as now.
To keep hardwood floors smooth and
clean, rub with waste and warm par
affine oil and polish with dry waste.
Brick dust ID fine thing with which
to clean agateware. II is less expen-
sive than other articles sold for such
purposes, and far more effectual.
When your wiping towels begin to
get thin, double them and quilt them
onthe machine. They make soft cloths
for washing china and silver.
To stone raisins keep the fingers
moistened with cold water, and the
seeds will not cling. Some people pre-
fer 70 pour boiling water over the

C. ". Wall of the Meyer Bros. Drug Com

occupy one quarter Of the block at the
southeast corner of Eighth and Pine streets
The present buildings are TO be remodeled.
Nj. Wall recently secured a ninety-nine
years lease on this property. most of which
forms the old Bradford block. The upper
part Of the Real Estate Exchange building
is included in the plans for hotel.
1t was stated yesterday that present
tenants of the street floors Of the building
probably would not be affected by the lease.
EXCEPT that the stores may be improved and
made uniform in appearance.
on the second and third floors 1oo first
class rooms with baths will be arranged and
elevators installed, the appointments and
furnishings TO be of first-class character.
Work on the hotel will not commence for
several months. but It is intended TO have
the improvements completed by next May,
when the Worlds Fair opens.
y proposition to convert into a hotel the
big building at the southeast corner of

cupied by the Missouri Glass Company, has
been made. but nothing definite has come of

action until six days before the old con-
tract expired.
The result was only one company was IN
a position TO make a bid. and it got the con-
tract. 1t IS this situation which city Off
Gals ars anxious to avoid.
President Phillips stated yesterday that
should the contract be awarded TO COM
pany for building a garbage plant. enough
time must he allowed to do the work prop
erly. This was the contractors right. he
said. as they would be obliged TO give q
large bond for the fulffllment of the con-
tract. Another point. he said. was that the
city would not be able to get bidders 10 en-
tertain the proposition unless they were as
sured Of sufficient time to complete the
work without endangering the forfeiture Of
their bond.
Unless the House takes action at once,
city officials are of the opinion that the city
will be in the same predicament It was
when the contract was awarded before.

HANS SCHWARTZ FILES
SUIT FOR A DIVORCE.
neutrality-suspicious. Alleges That His
Wife Refuses to Cross the Ocean
to Live With Him.

Hans Schwartz. who for the last ten
years has been in the public eye of Belle
vile in various ways, yesterday through
his attorneys, Barthel & Farmer. brought
suit in the Circuit Court at Belleville for
divorce from Margaretha Schwartz of
kemtken Algau. Germany. Desertion is the
ground for the divorce petition.
Schwartz is now in Kentken Algau. and
in a letter which was received by his at
torneys yesterday morning he stated that
he had made one final effort to induce his
wife to cross the Atlantic with him Fail
ing, he desired a separation.
Schwartz is saloonkeeper and IS also the
editor of the Belleviller TaSeblatt. labor
paper. He has been the editor of several
papers and also the proprietor Of seveal
saloons in Belleville.
In 1882 he decided to come to the United
States. According to his divorce petition his
wife refused to accompany him. He came
to Belleville where he has since lived He
imploring his wife TO cross the ocean and
live with him, but the letters. he asserts,
might just as well have not been written.
Schwartz has saved money and recently
he decided to go back to Germany and
visit the places of his youth. He also de-
ciGed to make one last effort to induce his
wife TO accompany him back to Belleville.
In his letter 10 his attorneys he asserts
that she absolutely and finally refused to
come back with him and that he therefore
wants a legal separation
