SAFE CRACKERS.
Enter Several Store Buildings In
Rock Hill.

Rock Hill, Sept. 12.-Burglars en-

cured between $500 and 5000, leav-
ing no clues. The tools used were lett
scattered about. The robbers also
entered the wholesale groceries OF
J w. O'Neal and B. N. Craig. Doors
were found broken open but nothing
missing except few boxes Of sar-
dimes at O'Neal's.
Tbs police heard noise in McFad-
denis place and listened about the
premises but hearing nothing further
went away. Three men are reported
under arrest at Pineville, N. c., and
all reports of strangers in the viclrl-
ity are being followed. It is sup
posed that the same men committed
the robbery at Murphy, N. C., Fri
day night. Notwithstanding Sum-
dav and connections bad, telephone
messages were sent out over the
country and many citizens gathered
on the streets and parties left in sew
eral directions. Officers Langley and
Miller, in citizens clothes, this after
noon arrested two tramps near

were found on him. Blood-hounds
were used in making the arrests at

SUICIDE OF OFFICIAL.
Superintendent of Dead Letter Office
Found Weltering in Blood.

Washington, Sept. 12.-Capt. David
P. Leibhardt, superintendent of the
dead letter office of the post Office de-
partment, committed suicide at ar
unknown hour, in his Office, on yes
terday evening.
The body was found shortly after
midnight by one of the department
watchmen A bullet had penetrated
the right temple, a little to the back,
and a new revolver was lying c-l the
desk at his side.
The body was doubled up by the
side of the desk, and the pool of
blood On the floor had become con-
gealed, indicating that some hours
had elapsed since the wound had been
inflicted.
The dead man was sixty years of
age. He had been at the head Of the
dead letter office since 1907, having
been appointed from Indiana. ..
He left three letters in one of
which he said that he had been po-
sessed for many days of a mania to
end his own existance. Aside from
this explanation it is impossible to
find a reason for the deed.
The coroner's inquest will be held
late today and there is no question
that a verdict of suicide will be rem
dered.

be dried there and the dangers of
freezing avoided. Such a room is also
very useful for ironing in hot weather.
1t should be provided with a laundry
stove and the fire kept up until the
clothes are dried.
Flannels and wooden stockinette
ought to be dried on wooden frames,
which any carpenter will make, and
which will prevent shrinking. This is
because the ultimate fiber of wool is
spiral, and the drawing up and inter
locking Of the fibers being what con-
stitutes shrinkage. In underwear fac
tories the garments are always washed
and dried on frames so that they may
be offered soft and unshrunken for
sale.
1t is much better and easier to scrub
soiled hnannels with a small brush
than it is to rub them clean on a board.
A rather stiff brush about four or five
inches long is the best article for this
purpose. Scrub the bands and seams
of heavy wooden shirts, as well as
those Of cotton, in this way. This
small brush is excellent in washing
corsets or any heavy pieces that are
difficult to rub on a board. If the brush
has a small handle the garments may
be more easily cleaned with 1T.
Many excellent housekeepers disa-
gree as to the best method of wash
ing white clothes. Some of them pre-
fer to soak their clothes overnight in
cold water. Others who are equally
good managers, after examining each
&c fofr
spots that need special attention,
plunge them into boiling hot soap
suds and let them stand for several
hours or overnight. This latter method
seems to draw the dirt quite thor
oughly, as the water itself will attest
next morning. The clothes are then
lifted out of this water into clean warm
water, the few soiled places that re
main are rubbed out and the clothes
are put in the boiler to come to the
boiling point. If the water is hard 6
tablespoonful of washing soda, but
no more should be added to every gal
lon of water in the boiler, the sods
being first dissolved in q little boil
ing water If it is put in without melt
ing it may eat a hole in the clothes
If the water is soft little melted soal
should be used instead of soda, ant
soap should be rubbed over each piec
as it is put in the boiler. Very few
of the best laundresses boil thei
clothes longer than three minutes, jus
long enough to allow them to be tho1
oughly scalded. Longer boiling onl
tends to make white clothes yellow
When the clothes are taken from tn
boiler the water they were boiled i
should be poured over them and the

Short suggestions.

A damp pantry and warm cupboard
are both bad places in which to keep
bread.
A piece of bread tied in a bit of
muslin and dropped into the water in
which greens are boiling will absorb
the unpleasant odor.
1t is a good idea to put little shot
in the bottom of tall vases. Then they
are not so liable to be knocked over
by careless hands.
AS a sterilizer boiling water outside
the bottles in sterilizing baby's milk
and inside in cleansing them is inval-
liable knowledge for every young
mother.
Before cleaning out fireplace sprin-
kle good handful of tea leaves among
the ashes. This makes the ashes lift
more easily and prevents the dust
from flying about the room.
When lighting a gas stove it will
often give a slight explosion and light
wrong, thus giving no heat. Turn the
gas off very quickly and on again. 1t
will then light properly without any
further trouble.
1t is not generally known that eggs
covered with boiling water and allowed
TO stand for five minutes are more
nourishing and easier digested than
eggs placed in boiling water and al
lowed to boil furiously for three and a
half minutes.

hopeful sign. The Copts are the de-
scendants of the ancient Egyptians.
They are well educated and furnish the
professions. In their religious views
they differ from the great majority Of
Christians in that they deny the hui

that he was wholly divine. The Jews

LAUNDERING IN WINTER TIME.
Methods by Which Clothes May BE
Kept White and in Good Condition.

Methods by Which Clothes May Be
Kept White and in Good Condition.
Many housekeepers find difficulty in
doing their laundering during cold
weather. In the summer season cot
tons and linens can be bleached on
the grass and dried in the warm sun
shine, and, while they are whittier for
being frozen and thawed, there is sell
dom warmth enough in the depth Of
winter to thaw them on the line. and If
they are handled in the frozen state
they are apt to crack. For this rea-
son good housekeepers will not allow
fine table linen to be dried out of doors
in the winter, even though it may be
slightly yellowed by indoor drying.
Fine handkerchiefs are very easily torn
and delicate underwear can be ruined
more quickly by being taken from the
lines and folded when frozen than in
any other way.
If white cotton garments are much
stained freezing will restore them tc
their proper color, and if there is time
they can be left out on the lines unit
they freeze hard and thaw out, pro
vided they are not handled in a froz
en- state or left to flap about in the
wind. Loosely woven materials, LIKE
stockinette may also be left outdoors
on the lines until they are dry enough
to bring into the house.

place in winter, as the clothes cal

RATS MADE BEDS OF MONEY.
When the Nest Was Found the Miss
Ing Bills Were All Intact.


A short time ago Mrs. Mike Huller,
who keeps a grocery on the corner of
Eighth and Elm streets, hid away
where she could easily find it, SIG in
bills for use at time when necessity
or desire required 1t. She thought Of
thieves, but not of the rodent de-
scription, and was, therefore, quite
particular in selecting a hiding place.
A few days later she thought she
would take look at her hidden treas
ure. with the view of assuring herself
that the money was where she had
hidden it, but on going to the place
her surprise can easily be imagined
when, on placing her hand where the
money ought to have been, she dis
covered that it was gone.
Matters remained in that condition
up to a few days ago, when, hearing
rat travelling around the house, the
idea struck her that rats were the rea
purloiners of her money. Going tC
work with vim she was not long il
ripping up two or three planks from
the floor of one Of the rooms of the
house and, instituting a close search
was greatly elated to find that rodents
had actually stolen the money, packed
! it away and made a cOsey bed of ii

ways fell into desuetude. Her people
were sullen, hostile to every civilizing
influence and growing into hopeless
barbarism.
EnRIand's Work.
When England took up the Egyptian
problem. subdued the rebel dervishes
and determined to restore fertility
where stagnation prevailed, a new era
opened for the Nile region. Even the
Sphinx might have been pardoned for
smiling obviously at the temerity of
the invader, but English keenness fore
saw great possibilities and English
persistence was not to be checked. To
day, Egypt is one Of the most promis-
ing regions in the world. The con-
struction Of dams under the direction
of Lord Cromer, the British consul
general and diplomatic agent, has add
ed $500 miles to the cultivable area of
Egypt, the value of which will amount
to about 100000 900. 1t was the great
est engineering achievement the world
has ever seen and under proper contro

richest on earth. That is what con
servatives bespeak for 1t and what
England is seeking to make It.
But that is in the future. 1t is the

and allow the same time for the other
side. Arrange on a long dish. Pour
over a very little butter from the pan,

been boiled or stewed in a savory
tomato sauce. On each outlet, the
moment before serving, put a small,
