How to Deal with Mildew.

First of all take some soap and rub
it we'll into the linen, then scrape some
chalk very finely and rub that in also,
lay the linen on the grass, and as it
dries wet it again. This done twice or
thrice should remove the mildew
stains. Another way is to mix soft
soap and powdered starch with half
the quantity of salt and juice of a
lemon. Lay this mixture on with a
brush, and let the linen lie out on the
grass for few nights and the stains
will disappear.

Philadelphia. Pa. June 11.-Thirteen
men crowding .inIo an elevator with a
prescribed capacity OF five at the plant
Of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Com
pany sOt Richmond street, to-day caused
the parting Of the cable. The cage fell
fifty feet, and they escaped instant death
as II by a miracle.
At least two Of the men hurt are ex-
pected to die in 81. Mary's Hospital They
are Stephen Rockford. thirty years old.
and Lewis Ostman, forty-two years.
Three others are IN a very serious condi-
tiqn. and ten others are more or less in
jured.
That all were not hurled TO speedy
death is due to the fact that they were
packed so closely together. This over
crowding was the result Of the quick
response to the steam whistle that
sounded the midday release from work.
Fellow workmen thronged around, near
by doctors were summoned, and by the
time the two hospital ambulances and
patrol wagons arrived the injured men
had been lifted from their perilous posi-

| The officers and midshipmen were re-

/ lost is a matter Of much speculation. One

the calamity, refused tonight 10 take any
notice Of reasonable appeals for iuforma-

pants exceedingly meagsr.
The coast on all sides OF Hampton
Roads is being patroIIed tonight for
bodies that may possibly wash ashore.

to search for those known to be missing.

THE BROWN CASE IN
RAWLiNs DISTRICT COURT

The case of August Lloyd against
Jackson Brown consumed a great deal
of time yesterday. Judge Groesbeck
representing Lloyd and G. Z. Winter of
Encampment representing Mr. Brown,
says the Rawlins Republican. Lloyd
had been in the employ Of the defend.
ant for many years but seems never
to have had a settlement for some
time. He had no account Of his wages
and was compelled to accept Mr..
Browns book account which showed
that Mr.. Lloyd had nothing coming as
much of his salary had been spent for
beer, several dollars each month.
Loyd's admissions on the stand
strengthened the defense's side Of the
case and after going through the book
for several years it was found that with
Loyd's admissions he had nothing com.
ing. Mr.. Brown, however, out OF the
"bigness of his heart gave Loyd's
wife a check for $50 and Judge Craig
dismissed the case. Mr.. Browns dis
position throughout was seemingly to
be more than fair though it was ap-
parent that he owed the plaintiff moth.

WILL BREAK FORTH
MELODY OF SONG,

One feature of the program to be
rendered by the University Girls Glee
and Mandolin clubs is the interspers-
ing of vocal parts in the instrumental
numbers, says the Wheatland World.
The girls will be playing along as de-
murely as maidens In love, their in
struments fairly singing with melody,
and at a motion Of the baton in the
hands of the director there will break
forth a perfect melody of song, the
voices of the singers harmonizing with
the drumming of the strings, SO that
one imagines the instruments them.
selves singing. The effect is very
pleasing. The sweet girl voices rise
with the higher notes Of the melody
and fall with the lower. At a motion
the voices cease and one hears the in.
strumentation, the air quivering with
the rythm of the time. All the girls
join in the singing making a novel and
at the same time thrilling few minutes
for the audience. This Is one Of the
features Of the training the young wo
men have received.
