\ great deal depends on getting the
sleeves in exactly the right position in
the blouse. 1t is well for the home

Household Hints.

Mayonnaise seasoned with chill
sauce gives variation for fish anG
meat salads.
Carpets should be beaten on the
wrong side first and then more gently
OF the right. Never put a carpet
down on a damp floor, for this often
results in the carpet becoming mill
dewed
If, when using lomen for flavoring
you need only half a one. put the other
half on a plate and cover with glass
tumbler. This excludes the air and
prevents it from drying up or getting
mOldy.
A lnoleum may be freshened per-
ceptibly if given a coat of linseed oil
and paraffin. Boil the oil and wax
together and apply while still hot with
a brush. Use only enough to covcl
| the surface, and when finished wipe it
off dry with cloth.
To dry lace curtains without a
stretcher wind quilting frames with
muslin. Pin each point of the curtains
evenly to the muslin; two or three
may be put on at once, one over the
other. Dry in the open air or indoors
in a warm room.
Never paper wall that is inclined
to be damp without first making it
impervious to moisture by applying a
varnish of one part shellac to two OF
naphtha The disagreeable odor will
soon disappear, and, after papering
there will be no more trouble from
moisture stains.

rIJ fri1 nj, f,f
soapsuds and Oxgall and half gill of
! turpentine. Then add as much fullers
earth as will make paste, and rub
it on the stains. Leave it on a few
days and then wipe off. 1t may be
necessary to repeat the operation.
Thick rich cream beaten with lemon
juice makes a delicious substitute for
French dressing. Season it with
paprika.
If fat or milk boil over on the
kitchen stove salt thrown on it will
keep down the smelli If hot grease be

Anti Rebate Act Upheld.

The United States Supreme Court de-
cided in the first of series of cases
attacking the Elkins anti-rebate law as
reincorporated in the more recent Hep
burn rate law. that the Great Northern
railways conviction and $4,000 fine for
making a concession of 20 cents hun
dred on fifteen shipments of oats from
Minneapolis to Seattle. was valid, not
withstanding that the acts were commit
ted in 1905, before the Hepburn bill had
become law. The indictments. though
returned after the passage of the Hep
burn bill was based upon the Elkins law.
This decision is expected to have a wide
effect on a large number of cases of ap-
peal from lower couIts and it destroys
one of the principal defenses which the
Standard Oil Company was preparing to
advance against the payment of the 500,
O0O,000 fine imposed last year for accept
ing Alton rebates. The courts decision

DENvER'S AUDITORIUM is VAST.
Is Said to Be the Country's Most
Spacious Assembly Hall.

Work on Denver'S immense audito
rium which will house the Democratic
national convention has progressed so
rapidly that the building will be ready
by the middle of June. The convention
will open July Z. The auditorium will
cost S550,0O0 and is built Of fireproof
material, with exits arranged so the
place is entirely panic-proof. 1t is not
a temporary structure, but intended to
last for generations for the accommoda-
tion Of other conventions. 1t is larger
than Madison Square Garden in New
York. which until recently was the
most spacious assembly hall in the
country. Madison Square Garden seats
12.137, while the seating capacity Of
the Denver auditorium is 12,5OO.
From present indications it is esti-
mated that the attendance at the con-
vention will be the largest that has
been present at such a gathering. Low
rates have been made on all the rail
roads, and as the convention will take
place during the season when the travel
TO Colorado is heaviest, the usual crowd
will be swelled by thousands who will
come for recreation, taking advantage
OF the rates. The hotel men are pledged
not to raise prices for rooms and meals
and this promise will be kept, it is
said. .--
A correspondent says that it is amaz-
ing what amounts Of money are spent
in Denver to entertain those who come
as delegates to conventions The re-
ception committee Of the Grand Army
raised 100000 and finished its work
$4,000 In debt, so lavish was the enter
tajnment. The Elks spent $4,000 in
making the city sea Of purple decora-
tions for the event and dispensing open
handed hospitality on every side. the
Eagles also spent large sum when
their national convention was held. The
city generally makes an appropriation
for this purpose, as does the State.

WAR ON ANARCHY.
Determined Effort Being Made to
Stamp It Out in Chicago.

otolnP - SuI III NhASu6o.
Federal, State and municipal govern
mentS are to unite in a determined
movement to quench the fires Of an
archy in Chicago, which were famed
into a flame when Lazarus Averbuch, a
youthful tool Of local nihilists. was
slain in the attempt to assassinate
Chief Of Police George NJ. Shippy.
In running down the anarchist
groups that are poisoning the minds Of
thousands of men and women. it was
determined, in a conference Of public
officials, that the police should have
the assistance of every available au-
thority and that decisive action must
be taken to avert recurrence Of the
Outlawry which came to bloody eli
max in Haymarket Square in 1885.
Averbuch, the police are informed,
was commissioned to kill Chief Shippy
at a meeting Of anarchists which he
attended the previous Thursday night.
1t was on that night. upon his return
to the home Of his sister, Olga Aver
buch, 21S Washburne avenue, that the
young Russian declared that he might
as well kill himself. Zig 81
This group of anarchists. it also has
been reported, plotted to assassinate
Mayor Busse and Captain r. ID. ORR.
en- Of the detective bureau.
Information has reached the police
that Averbuch, instead of going to
night school, as his sister said he did,
was in frequent communication with
band of violent, lawless men, who had
decided upon the death Of Chicagos
police head. In the meeting where the
plans were discussed Averbuch. it is
alleged, was chosen to commit the
crime When picked by lot for the
execution of such a deed, police OIL
cials familiar with the regulations of
anarchist societies declare, the assns-
sin is watched continually. without his
knowledge, until he carries out the
order or is arrested or slain in the
attempt This, the authorities believe,
was done in Averbuch's case.
Many anarchists have been arrested
in crusade the. most vigorous waged
since the time Of the Haymarket riot,
but a search for leaders revealed that
all had fed the city or We're hiding.
Literature, teeming with blasphenly
and exhortatiOns against the law and
public officials, was confiscated. and
seversl street meetings in the ghetto
were dispersed. President Roosevelt.
in an Interview with a correspondent
warmly cOmmends Chief Shippy and
says he would reward him If he were
in a position to do so. ...
The press of the country has been
practically unanimous in praising the
action of Chief Shippy in dealing with
the assassin, and urging strict meas
ures to stamp out anarchy.
