HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Put few drops of ammonia on a
rag to rub finger-marks from looking
glasses or windows.
Ether is excellent for removing
grease, but an easy way Is to soak the
article in cold water, to which has
been added little borax.
When stewing fruit never use a
metal spoon; wooden spoon Is best,
and those with short handles are most
convenient for thick substances.
Patent-leather shoes should be
cleaned with milk, or little sweet
OIL may be rubbed into them. The
soles and heels of such shoes are, of
course, to be cleaned with blacking.
Clothes-pins boiled a few moments
and quickly dried, once or twice a
month, become more flexible and dur
able Clothes-lines will last longer and
keep in better order If occasionally
treated In the same way
When loaves are baked In too hot
an oven and the outside crust gets too
brown, do not attempt to cut It off.
but as soon as the bread is cold rub It
over with a coarse tin crater and re.
move all the Gark-brown crust.
A black leather travelling bag can
always be kept In capital condition by
mixing one tablespoonful of sweet oil
with two tablespoonfuls of milk and
rubbing this well into the bag. After.
It has thoroughly dried it should be
polished with chamois leather.
In cleaning the brass around the
keyhole It Is almost impossible not to
soil the surrounding wood. Get a
piece Of cardboard about four inches
square, cut hole in 1t the shape of
the brass and put 1t over the keyhole
when cleaning. and the wood will not
be touched.

NOT POLITICAL CRIME
 BUT MURDER FOR MONEY
A Sensational Story in Connection With the Assassination of a Russian Count a. Vienna.

Moscow, Sept. IA sensation has been caused by the announcement that the real name of the murderer of Count KomarOwsky who was finally shot at Vienna September 5th, is Prilukoff. a Moscow lawyer who re- gently absconded from here with his clients funds. and not Nicholas Nau- moff. According to the story told here, which conflict with others. Komarows- ky married a vaudeville artist, Mad anne Tarnovaska, who was Prilukoffs s intimate friend.
 KOmarowsky. who was a colonel of the national guard. and counsellor of state. insured his life for s100.0OO in favor of the woman, who is said to have subsequently, planned his murder with Prilukoff.
 The first account of the affair refer red to Naumoff and Pritukoff as being two men. but it is now said here they are identical and that it was the law yer who assassinated the count. The lawyer and woman are held in custody at Vienna charged with murder.

The Return of the Secretary From His
 Visit of Inspection
His Cordial Reception By the Isanders--lIe Took Oc- casOn to Offer Some Kindly Advice to the Japanese There.

$2OO. which our navigation laws i'm pose.
 Replying to this address Secretary Straus assured the islanders that he would endeavor to have existing griev- ances remedied. and coincluded his ad- dress by saying. 'I have knowledge and experience of the fact that one of the greatest shortcomings in the way of the progress of the islands is that there is not sufficient communication between them and the mainland. This you must have. and you ought to have. and speaking individually and offic- ially, l promise you that I shall do everything within my power to assist in getting the shipping facilities that you need. l have seen much of the world. am familiar with those places which are the favored lands for tourists and my eight days here has convinced me that there is no land on the face of the earth. considering cli- mate and population and considering beauty and attractiveness of scenery and charms of hospitality. which of- fers so much to the tourist. either in health or pleasure. as this Eden of the Pacific"
 These declarations were enthusias- tically applauded and upon concluding the secretary was generously cheered. On another occasion the secretary was waited upon by a delegation of Japanese editors, representing the four Japanese newspapers of Homo lulu. who called to ascertain his views regarding Japanese matters in the territory and as to his policy with reference to Japanese immigration. particularly if he believed that the prepOnderance of Japanese in Hawaii was inimical to the future welfare of the islands In reply the secretary said:
 An ideal condition for the future welfare of these islands would be that there should not be too great a preponderance of any one race. but that an equilibrium be maintained. l would impress upon you. and upon each of the several races here. to have a care not to exploit these is- lands and their resources for the ben- eft of the country from which the came, but to act in the spirit of the govern ment under which they live; of loyalty tO the interests of the islands which afford such happy and ideal homes for them and for their children"
 These remarks. which were reported in all of the newspapers-Americ Japanese and Chinese. met with an enthusiastic reception.

FRISCO RtORGANIZING

San Francisco. Sept. 1.-The new board of health appointed yesterday by Mayor Taylor held it's first meet ing today. The board elected pr. Wm Ophuls president. The resignation of Health Officer Watkins was submit ted and Dr. H. l.. Gum was elected to succeed Watkins.
 The board selected a site for the isolation hospital to which plague pa tients now under treatment at the city and county hospital will be removed. It was decided not to move the other patients. numbering more than 700. from the city and county hospital un- til the necessity of burning that structure had been determined by an examination of the rats caught there fo- bacteriological inspection. The board voted tO select and equip a bac- astrological laboratory for plague re- search and to appoint a special plague bacteriologist.
 letter was read from President Bentley of the Chamber of Commerce complaining that the plague condition here had been distorted and much ex- aggerated by the newspapers in other cities. apparently on the strength of inaccurate reports given out by the federal authorities. A resolution was adopted that hereafter no plague in formation would be given the press except by the president of the board. Daily meetings will be held.

STATISTICAL WORK
 AMONG HE FARMERS
The Mission of Two Reclamation or
 ficiais Wko Arc Abroad in the Land.

Two members of the office force of the reclamation service.t Messrs. Min
 ter and Shaw. have gone to the south
 side of the river to devote the time
 necessary n a thorough canvass for securing crop data. A similar can
 vass has been made on this side of the
 river. and mention of the work on the
 south side is now made in the belief
 that an explanation will facilitate the
 work of the two men which is to col
 lect data showing who lives on every
 ranch in the area indicated. the char
 acter of the crops raised, acreage
 planted. yield. etc. In the canvass on
 the north side the gentlemen were
 sometimes told when they asked for
 information. that it was none of their
 damned business" The truth is. it is
 very much their business and at the
 present time about all the business
 they have, and il is hoped that they
 may have more cordial reception on
 the south side. People who answered them brusquely did so in ignorance of their real mission, which live every thing else in these parts undertGken
 by the government, is for the benefit
 of the people themselves. The men as- signed to this work are bound to get
 the facts though when they are not
 furnished by the people approached. they have to be secured by personal investigation and the cross question: ing of the neighbors. which is more ! tedious and sometimes less accurate.
 This statistical work is in accord ance with a plan devised a year ago ,h of his suDeriors. IL consists of card system record of the ownership. oc- curant. description and location of ev- cry farm in the valley, whether cul- tivated or not, and which is conven- 1 iently at hand for reference in the To- | cal reclamation offices. In addition,
 there is a record of the different crops
 raised, horticultural, agricultural. etc. the acreage. product etc NIT. Stan nard gathered all this data himself last year. then devised the system which
 is now an orderly bureau in the local
 offices and which is designed for con venient reference now and even more valuable reference later on when the annual reports that will be made from
 the data. will show just exactly what effect the bettered irrigation service 1 has had on the valley in respect of | financial revenues and material re- ! turns. It is designed in great part to
 answer the question that will be very pertinent ten years from now. does
 reclamation work pay?" on two diff
 ferent occasions. The Republican has at
 considerable length explained the de.
 tails of this work, its comprehensive
 ness and how it is performed. All that l is designed at this time. is to refer to
 it enough to indicate it's importance and scatter few roses over the thorn strewn path of the field workers.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The visit of Secretary Straus to the Pacific coast. including the Hawaiian Islands. Mas been most enjoyable one. and is likely to lead to practical results. A firm believer in the idea that the vast interests entrusted to his safe keeping could not be entirely administered from his desk in Washington. the sec retary determined to make a person. al inspection of the workings of the department away from the capital. and to become personally acquainted with the various officials having supervis- ion. He accordingly planned a trip along the Canadian border to Vancou- yer, and thence south through Seat tie and Portland to San Francisco. with Honolulu as the ultimate desti- nation. He returned to Washington today, and talked freely about his eX- periences. especially those in the Hawaiian Islands. When he arrived at Honolulu the islanders were out in force to greet him and his party. They were taken to the hotel in automobiles the route being lined on both sides by the people, who were enthusiastic in their demonstrations. The presence of Representative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth added to the warmth of the demonstration. At the hotel. del- egateions from the board of trade, merchants exchange, Chinese Japanese and other societies greeted the Secre- tary, extended invitations to dinners and made requests for speeches.
 Secretary Straus made several not able addresses while at HOnOlulu-one at a banquet given in his honor by Mir. Hatch. and at a dinner given by the Honolulu chamber of commerce. the policy of the government in rela- tion to the islands was touched upon. On the latter occasion one of the largest and most representative bod ies of business men ever gathered in Honolulu assembled to present the commercial needs of the islands. L. A.
 Thurston. speaking in behalf of the merchants and planters. described cer- tain commercial disadvantages result ing, from annexation, laying particular stress upon the necessity for a mOdifi- cation of the coastwise shipping laws applying to the islands. which penal ized the carrying of passengers and freights between the territory and the mainland of the United States in oth- CT than American bottoms. owing to the infrequency with which vessels of that description stop at Honolulu. MT. Thurston declared that large quanti- ties of fruit rot upon the wharves while awaiting shipment and that the same lack of transportation facilities acts as peculiar hardship upon resi- dents of the territory who were often obliged. as a result of Illness or press ing financial matters, to leave for the United States on a vessel of foreign registry and thereby incur the fine of

TEMPORARY
 FISH TREATY
DiStaStefuI to the New
 FOundIand Premier
It Has Been Generally Un- derStOOd that It Included All He Wanted.

Washington. Sept. 11.-Being under the impression that Premier Robert Bond had secured about everything of importance he wished in the modus vivendi relative to the New Found land fisheries. the state department officials were surprised to read the report that the premier had denounc- ed the imperial government for con cluding an arrangement which was absolutely necessary to prevent a se- rious friction between two great ma tions. They are disposed to draw q parallel between the attitude of New Foundland and California in the mat ter of the Japanese schools. as show ing according to the view of the Washington government. a lack of ap- preciation of impropriety in the at tacking of q home government by To- cal legislation.
 The statement is made that with a single exception the asserting of the rights of American vessels to ship New Foundlanders as fishermen. the American government for the sake of peace surrendered all the extreme points claimed by it. This right of shipping is to be exercised in a man
 nor least likely to offend New Found lands pride. for, the men are to be taken aboard off shore and not within the territorial waters colony. although the Americans have always insisted that they have a right under the treaty to take the men off the docks if they
 cared to ship there. The future dis
 cussion of the subject Is regarded by officials as purely academic. as the modus is now a completed instrument. ! If the New Foundland premier car , ries out his announced purpose of ex- ecuting the colonial laws even where they conflict with American treaty
 rights it will be the duty of the Brit ish government to deal with the case
 and will not concern the state depart ment.
