Prnfecfinn WALL Paner

In a handsomely papered room-in
fact, in any room where the neatness
of the wall is looked to--the person
who cleans the room should be given
a strip of tin about six by twelve inch
es. having it's upper edge bent out. 1t
should be held by the bent-out edge
against the wallpaper, resting on the
skirting board, to prevent moistening
the paper while the skirting- boards are
being scrubbed.

Cotton Versus Linen.

Most housewives imagine that linen
is the ideal material for sheets, but
several household authorities consider
it is inferior to a good quality of cot
ton for this purpose. Linen is cold
and slippery" 1t is nc more appro-
pirate for sheets than it is for body
wear, owing to its non-absorbent quail
ty. The wrinkles in linen sheets are
harder to smooth out than those in
cotton. and, in addition, keep a bed
from looking fresh. Linen, however,
is at its best when used for table
cloths and napery. For all such pur-
poses it is the ideal material.

Politics, with all it's attendant ex-
citement and oratory, was a feature of
the regular meeting of the San Fran
cisco Labor Council last night. After
much heated discussion the council
finally voted to oppose Gillett in his
campaign for Governor, and the propo-
sitions of indorsing Bell and arranging
for the organization of State Union
Labor party were postponed until next
Friday night.
While Gillett was apparently without
friends at the meeting, there was a
storm of remonstrance by a number of
the leaders of the meeting at the sug-
gestion of indorsing Bell The action
was branded by some of the speakers
as being a smooth piece of work on
the part Of q few politicians. The ex-
citemeRt grew at times until it was
almost impossible to keep order In
the council were Langdon men, Bell
men and a number OF men who want

were directed toward the Endorsement

not dream that political matters would
come up for discussion These wanted

ICE FAST CLOSING.
ABOUT WHALERs.

SEATTLE, Sept. 21.-The steamship
Harold Dollar, Captain Thwing, which
carried supplies to the whaling fleet in
the Arctic, reached port last night.
Thirty-o one men of the wrecked whaler
Alexander and fifteen sick men from
the other ships of the fleet were brought
down on the vessel She also brought
whalebone valued at $4,000 which
had been loaded on her from the diff
ferent ships.
The Dollar met the fleet at Point
Barrow and delivered the stores and
foodstuffs and coal The entire fleet,
with the exception of the whaler Jean
cite, is to return this season, unless
they are caught in the ice which was
reported to be fast closing in when the
Dollar left.
Twelve of the whalers are still in the
north. They are the Narwhal, Beluga,
Jeanette, Alexander (wrecked), Bay
liss, Karluk, Thraube, Thurman, Mon
terey. Belvedere, Bowhead and Olga.
The whalers state that the catch of the
entire feet amounts to fifty-two
whales
The men who return on the Dollar
tell stories of terrible suffering on the
different ships one of the principal
causes being the lack of food on the
different vessels. They also state that
charges have been preferred against a
number of the whaling captains, among
whom are Captain Bodfish, master OF
the Bayliss: Captain Newth, master of
the Jeanette, and Captain Elton. for
mer master of the Alexander and pres
ent master of the jeanette in the alb
sence Of Captain Newth, who, with Cap
tain Bodfsh, is under arrest.
The men also confirm the stories of
stealing of native girls from their
homes for immoral purposes and say
that full depositions regarding these
charges were taken before they left.
Charges OF brutality and of insufficient
feeding are made against Captain
Thurston and also Captain John Cook,
master of the Beluga.
The Dollar encountered the fleet at
Point Barrow. Her officers say that
the crew of the wrecked wha1er Alex
ander were living ashore in the whaling
station at which they had arrived only
a few days before. The fifteen sick
men had also been put ashore. Some
Of the men are scarcely able to walk
and are suffering from various diseases.

AS soon as the fleet had receive
their supplies and discharged part of
their whalebone into the hold of the
