Useful Hints

A piece OF soft paper wet with kero-
sene oil viii clean an enamelled bath
tub or bowl that has become dingy.
DwaIlers who live in apartment
houses should know that turpentine
poured down the kitchen drain pipe
will keep the water bugs away.
Lamp burners which are in constant
use should be boiled occasionally IN
soda suds. then scrubbed and polished
whit brick dust. when they will do as
good service as new ones.
Save al your broken and crooked
carpet tacks and keep them in box
in the kitchen for cleaning bottles
They are better than shot for the sharp
edges scrape off all the stains.
Kerosene added to boiling starch
tablespoonful to a quart-will prevent
the smoothing irons from sticking an'
will give a gloss to the articles; tn
scent will all evaporate in the drying
When silver spoons become discolor
ed from eggs scour them with fine "a
Bile salt. This will remove the discol
oration. which is caused by the sui
phur in the egg. and not scratch o
wear the silver.

News of the Day.

Secretary Taft declares Sixto Lopez
cannot return to the Philippines under
any pretext until he takes the oath Of
allegiance.
The House committee on reform In
the civil service yesterday authorized a
favorable report on the resolution intro
duced by Representative Hay, of Vir-
einia, for a record of each suspension OF
the civil service law and rules since its
operation, and the names of persons
taken into government service through
such suspension.
Four witnesses were heard yesterday
by the Senate committee on privileges
and elections, which is trying the right
of Reed Smoot to retain his seat as aSen-
ator from Utah. Thequartette included
Francis NJ. Lyman, a member of the first
presidency of the Mormon Church and
the prospective successor of Joseph r.
Smith, president of the church. Ly-
mans testimony was scarcely less sem
sationaI than his chiefs, containing, as
it did, frank averments Of his disobe-
dience of the law prohibiting polygamy
and of his intent to continue in such dis
obedience. He threw an interesting light
on the doctrine of the church by declar-
ing thai the will OF the people was SUI
perior to the divine revelation granted to
apostles in the conduct OF church affairs.

Mob Law in Ohio.

Springfield, Ohio, March 9.-Police
Sergeant Coils killed by Richard Dick
erson, Mamie Corbin wounded by
Dickerson, Dickerson lynched by a
mob, five negro joints on the levee
burned by a mob, and ten COM
panies of soldiers patrolling the
streets sum up the events thus far
that have excited Springfield and
attracted the attention of the country
during the past SO hours. 1t is said
that more of the negro joints will be de-
stroyed tonight by the mob, with its fire
brands, in the seeming determination of
the so-called purifying element to rid
Springfield of the dives which people
claim are responsible for such crimes
as the DickersOn murder.
Springfield, Ohio, March 9.-"Look
out tonight the other dives will go the
way of the levee," is the remark heard
today. Of the 5000 negroes here few
are to be seen on the streets Many
have barricaded themselves in their
homes and some have left the city tenn
porarily. Last night stray negroes in
the streets we're chased by the mob Of
whites whose sole purpose seems to be
to frighten, rather than to harm them.
There is total of 305 enlisted men and
35 officers on duty. Adjutant General
Critchfeld and his party returned to
Columbus Wednesday morning, satisfied
that the worst is over. A special grand
jury will be called at once to investigate
the outrages. This was the statement
of Judge Mower this morning, when
asked for his views on the riots. The
streets are thronged with people, and
crowds are pouring in the city from all
directions. Every traction car is filled and
the levee district is crowded with curious
sightseers. The city building has been
turned into an armory.

THE WAR IN THE FAR EAST.

London. March 9.-1he Toxic cor
respondent of the Reuter- Telegram
Company wires that it is believed in
the japanese capital that there has been
a decisive naval engagement in the vi
cinity of Vladivostok The tidings are
anxiously awaited. 1t is believed, he
adds, that the japanese would not have
Withdrawn their entire squadron from
Vladivostok unless the location of the
enemy had been discovered There is
a strong possibility that the japanese
squadron found the Russian ships in
Possiet Bay. seventy-fve miles southwest
of Vladivostok, and gave them battle
there.
London, March 9.-The Central
News correspondent at Port Arthur wires
that Admiral Marakof, in charge of the
Russian naval forces in the far East,
arrived in Port Arthur today. The
municipal council of the city presented
him with an ikon, or sacred picture.
Subsequently the principal Russian Off
GERS extended a reception to the Admiral
aboard the cruiser Askold. The battle
ship Retvizan, which was damaged by
japanese torpedoes on February 9th,
has, according to the correspondent,
been successfully repaired and is now
afoat. The Czarewitch which was
damaged at the same time as the Ret
vizan, has also been completely repaired,
and relocated.
London, March 9.-No official confir-
nation has as yet been received of the
Toxic dispatch to the Daily Telegraph
this morning stating that it was reported
in the Japanese capital that the Russian
VIadiyostok squadron had been destroy
ed or captured by japanese vessels. The
report is thought in many quarters to be
but another of the vague rumors which
have been so plentiful since the initiation
of hostilities. There is possibility, of
course, that the report is well founded,
but owing to its indefiniteness, but little
credence is at present given it.
Berlin March 9.-The Lokal Anzeiger
today asserts that Russia has refused per-
mission to America to send military at
taches with the Russian forces in the
field, while permission to continent
tai powers is freely given. This, says
the paper, is considered grave affront,
implying, as it does, that American of
ficers are not fit to be trusted with Rus.
sian military secrets.
Washington, March 9.-Ofiicials fiat.
ly deny the statement in the Anzeiger of
Berlin that Russia has refused permits
sion for the United States to have mill
tary attaches with the army. Ambassa-
dor Mccormick cabled five days ago
from St Petersburg that the necessary
permission had been granted.
Toxic, March 9.-Japanese warships
yesterday evening bombarded the forts of
Talienwan in Korea Bay. Later they
proceeded to Port Arthur and bOmbarded
the fortresses there.

Railroad at Sunbury, the former has
been oiled and made ready for the torch.
The loss sustained by the sweeping away
of the bridges is now estimated at 81
900, 900. Three miles above the city a
great gorge has formed against steel
bridge of the Lehigh Valley Railroad,
which has bowed and threatens to goout
with the current.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 9.-Backed
up by untroken ice gorges, which so far
have defed all efforts to break them, the
mighty food of water on the Susque-
hanna is still rising and hourly works
more damage as it sweeps along on its
new bed. All records for floods were
broken this morning when the dial
showed that the water stood 80 feet six
inches above low water mark. All towns
and hamlets along the river for eighty
miles are water soaked, and damaged by
the torrent.
WiIkesbarre, Pa, March 9.-Three
bridges have been swept away and ], 300
people are homeless and are fleeing to
the mountains at Bloomsbury.
Schenectady, n. Y. March 9.-The
condition of affairs along the river are be-
ginning to assume alarming proportions,
submerging cottages and compelling sew
eral families to leave their homes at Fort
Hunter Guests at the hotel were COM
pelled TO flee.
