and. against the continuation of the.
graft prosecution All the strings that
Herrin and the allied villanies can pull
to bind votes to MCGOWAN and against
the graft prosecution are taut to the
breaking strain. Gillett says he is not
taking an active interest in the fight
for his old friend MCGOWAN. The MEM
bers of the harbor commission, who
are the governors personal representa-
tives in San Francisco. have entered no
denial of their personal participation.
Herrin, to whom they owe their ap-
pointments primarily, and Gillett. to
whom they owe them Immediately. are
in sympathy with McGowan.
Far be it from well regulated ma
chine harbor commissioner to array
himself against the sympathetic inter-
est of the governor and the hand that
pulls the whistle cord. They are SYM
pathetic men themse1ves-also practi-
cal. And as practical railroad men
they know that it is safer to cross
the track in the rear of moving
train.
NOT "AcTrvELY INTERESTED
Gillett declined on Monday to deny
The Calls statement that he and his
appointees were working to end the
graft prosecution through the election
of Frank MCGOWAN. He said that he
was not actively interesting himself in
the campaign. but that, his sympathies
were with MCGOWAN. All of which
amounted to no more or less than a
confirmation of the charge made by The
Call Actively interesting himself
when said quickly by politician usu-
ally means that he is not taking of
his coat and wading into a house to
house canvass for votes or separating
himself from oratory on the stump.
Not even the interests could expect that
from Gillett. Plenty of sympathy from
the governor means plenty of work
from the understrappers. and San Fran

Cleansing Silk

In washing silk there are four
things to be UNDERSTANDING.
wringing, heat and soap. Use luke
warm water, and if the silk is much
soiled make a lather with a good
white soap, but never rub the soan
directly on the cloth. II only slightly
soiled, bran water is preferable to
soap. Swish the article round and
round, but do not rub. When clean.

spoonful of vinegar has been added
for each quart of water. Place be-
tween dry cloths and squeeze out as
much moisture as possible, but do

Cleaning Marble.

Shave cake of good laundry soap
into half gallon of warm water, set
on the stove and bring slowly to a
boil, adding tablespoonful of house
hold ammonia. When the soap is
quite dissolved, pour it into a Jar and
keep as a soap jelly. For recent
stains on the marble, make q paste of
half cupful of the jelly with pow
dered unslacked lime; spread this on
the marble and let it remain for two
weeks; then scour well with soft
soap, little more lime and hot
water. Rinse and wipe dry and rub
with bit of felt, which will restore
the polish better than anything else.
For old stains, or those that have
been of long standing, mix a quarter
OF pint each of ox-gaIl and soapsuds
with half as much turpentine; add
enough powdered Fuller's earth to
this to make paste, and spread on
the marble; let it remain two or three
days, wipe off and repeat if needed.
For black marble, mix equal parts
OF soft soap and pearl ash; apply with
flannel cloth; let it remain ten min
utes, and then wash off. Rub mar

Just then the barking of a dog
sounded through the ward. The
nurses ran around looking for the
parker, and some peered under the

enywhere. Then came an unearthly

A charge of arson was entered
against Old Sol in the books of the

Owing to the fact that good timo-
thy hay is worth $24 a ton and oats
are higher than they have been for
years, thousands of horses in Brook
lyn are being fed on molasses. The
malosses, it is asserted by veterinar-
ians, makes a better feed than oats
and, mixed with chopped hay and
bran. diminishes the amount of hay
necessary to sustain a horse doing
heavy work. The cost of feeding a
horse on molasses, cut hay, oatmeal
and bran amounts to about S5 cents
