What the Editors Say

One of the absurd stories recently
given circulation is that the slump in
Wall street is the deliberate and arbi-
trary work Of large capitalists for the
purpose of bringing the Roosevelt adj
ministration into general diSfavor.
There is as much reason to suppose
that the panic of 1898 was deliberately
brought on. to discredit the Cleveland
administration as that the present
liquidation is forced to discredit Roos-
evelt.-Duluth Evening Herald.

To Renovate Velvet

And one who possesses a fatiron and
piece Of clean muslin or longcloth has
only to heat the fatiron fairly hot mois-
ten the cloth and spread it over the iron,
Lying on its side on the table, TO have a
capital little apparatus for renovating
velvet. Before beginning the work, brush
the velvet thoroughly to raise the nap as
much as possible, using a soft hair brush.
and not an ordinary whisl, which IS too
sharp and harsh. Remove all spots with
gasoline. When the velvet is dry, and as
clean as 1t can be got, hold it over the
steam rising from the iron until the
creases have disappeared. As the cloth
dries, dip it freshly in water. An obstinate
crease will often come out if it is passed
back and forth over the sharp edge OF
the iron. The wrong side of the velvet
should be held toward the steam.

THE MERCER CASE

Mr.. Knox VIII Enter Motion In U. c.
Supreme Court to Advance Hearing.
Washington. May 15.--Authoritative
announcement has been made Of the
intention of the attorney general to
enter a motion in the United States
supreme court next Monday to advance
the hearing in the Northern Securities
Company case, the appeal in which
was docketed recently in that court.
It is altogether probable that the court
will take action on the~motion before
the sitting of June /, when the court
will be in session for the last time
during the present term. Hence there
is no possibility of the argument Of
the case before the court reconvenes
on October 12. AS assigned cases
never are heard during the first week
of a term, the earliest probable date
for the hearing is October 49, The
vast importance of the case will be
given as the attorney generals reason
for asking the court to expedite it.

mThe Time Has Come

"The time has come" the tenant said,
"To talk of many things
OF paint, and doors, and window screens,
OF PORTER poles and rings
And why the rent is always raised

Before we have our chat,
A quiet tip I'll give to you
Which comes in now quite pat
Two dozen men have here today
Begged me 20 let this fiat"
Don't spring a bluff on me like that"
The tenant made reply;
"'Tis plain 'twill be a heated place
You'll go to when you die.
III bet two plunks those twenty-four
Are only in your eye"
Then rose up i'm his wrathy might
The landlord big and fat.
His ire was great that any man
Should doubt his word like that.
He smote the tenant just below
His twenty-second slat.

Lace for Trimmings

Serpentine insertions are rather an
agreeable change after the straight bands,
and when The insertion is finished at either
side with an extremely narrow edge of
lace that exactly matches in pattern tho
effect is extremely good, and, cohseqeunt-
ly, extremely in demand. Flounces edged
with narrow lace always look well on a
muslin gowns, and now, besides the lace
edge, It is thought fashionable to have in
sertion on the fiounce, either in the serpen-
time insertion or put on in loops and seal
lops, or the edge Of lace is the only trim
ming on the founce, and above it on the
upper part Of the skirt, is to be seen the
