Washing silk gloves -ots them rap
idly. especially at the finger ends yet
nothing is less excusable than soiled
white or other light silk gloves. be-
cause it is so easy to wash them
To prevent this rapid destruction
of the finger ends the gloves should be
hung to dry with the tips up This can
be accomplished only by pinning each
finger out on . cloth and then hanging
up the cloth with the arms Of the
gloves down This lets water run
into the portions of the gloves which
receive the least wear, dries the tips
more quickly and prevents the destruc-
tive action of water on the slk-De
hneator.

CHEER FOR BRYAN AND BERRY"
Incipient Boom for Pennsylvania Is Started
at Philadelphia Dinner.
rBy Telegraph to Tho Trbune.l


Philadelphia. Feb. 1--Strenuous efforts seemed
to be put forth by the Democratic city and
state managers tonight to prevent too much
enthusiasm for W. J. Bryan at the dinner to
former State Treasurer William H. Berry at
the Hotel Walton. The dinner was tribute to
Berry because OF the stand he took as State
Treasurer. which led to the revelations Of al
legged Capitol graft. The large crowd present
gave Bryan q bowling reception as he appeared,
however. There nistaktng its strength.
and the expansive smile Of the candidate widened
he gazed upon the exultant host. The dinner
had not progressed far when a boom for Berry
for second place started, and there were
wild cheers for Bryan and Berry" It was said
that with Berry the ticket there would be
for the first time in many years some chance Of
doing something in Pennsylvania, because Of
what he has shown himself to be while in
Office
Mr. Bryan paid a handsome tribute to Mr.
Berrys work as State Treasurer, and said the
Treasurer was inspired to unrnask the condition
surrounding the construction Of the State Capitol
because he honest and q Democrat and had
master.
Mr.. Bryan, in discussing the effects Of news
papers on the political conditions, said that the
subsidized press blinded the people with paid edi-
tortals and that the owners of the newspapers
reached into the pockets Of the people. Mr. Bryan
said that 'it was time for the wise men Of the
East to follow IN the footsteps OF the strenuous

TARIFF WINS IN BRITAIN
By-Election at South Hereford q
SeUere BlOzC to CObdenltes.

London Feb Tariff reform and the prefer

Britain seem. from the results OF To-Day eec-
ton at South Hereford in which the tarin re-
formers won another victory, and OF other re-
cent by-elections. to be rapidly emerging from
the slough In which the Cobdenites OF this coun-
try assert they were everlastingly buried by the
landslide in the general election Of 1895 Ger
tainly the results Of the untiring activity Of the
Tariff Reform League In the last year. during
which three thousand meetings were held and
branches were established everywhere in the
country, have been more and more evident at
every successive Parliamentary election Some
seats have been won outright. while in all cases
a markedly increased Unionist vote has been re-
corded.
In the only two elections this year the out
and-out Protectionists have captured seats. OBJ

Bell, the Unionist candidate, in the Asburton
Division of Devon on January Is. and that Of
Captain P A. Give at South Hereford to-day, on

Liberal free trade candidates The free adnis-
sion Of foreign hops. which is threatening the ex-
tinction of the local industry. loomed big in the
South Hereford election. which was caused by
the death OF Alan C. Gardner, LIBERAL. and the
result OF the protection cry is seen In an increase
of nearly eight hundred In the Unionist vote
Liberal vote OF more than five hundred The
party leaders say that they are winning over the
workers in great numbers, and the results OF
~hese two most recent contests in agricultural
and working class communities support this
claim.
There is no doubt that the backbone OF tho
Unonist party has been notably stifened since
Mr.. Balfour a few weeks ago climbed down from
the fence and ranged himself unequivocally on
the side Of "undiluted Chamberlainbm." AT the
Conservative headquarters to-day Sir Alexander
Acland Hood and other party officials asserted
that tariff reform would sweep the country in
the next general election, which the Unionists
think may be expected TO take place not later
than next year.
T. ]. Macnamara, Parliamentary Secretary Of
the Local Government Board, admitted in a
speech at Cambridge tonight that tariff reform
had won at Mid-Devon and South Hereford
Tariff reform, he said. had been dressed UP in a
cunning and attractive gutse, and he feared that
the protectionists might win the country
from free trade by this means. The English
people once more, he said, might have TO learn
a lesson from adversely.

Washington Feb THE President has not

federal patronage to promote the political in
terests of Secretary Taft. tnd as time goes on
his Indignation that such unfounded charges
have been made does not diminish 1t is prop

who are devoted to the interests OF candidates
whose nomination he believes would prove inim-

The President has accumulated a large amount
of data, and is convinced that in many instances
political wires have been pulled, of which he was
entirely unconscious. but that the wires were
not pulled in the interest of Secretary Taft In
Indiana, Ohio, and even in New York, this Is
