vARNISH FOR SHOES.
Preparation Gives Good Results In Re-
storing Old Footwear.

storing Old Footwear.
A waterproof shoe varnish resem-
bling patent leather in luster is COM
pounded of shellac, one ounce; alcohol,
three ounces; a pinch Of lampblack to
color, says Scientific American. Owing
to the unfavorable action of alcohol on
leather this shoe varnish Is not to be
recommended for brand new shoes, but
to rehabilitate old shoes to a pristine
shine 1t is unsurpassed.
The tendency of shoes being cracked
by 1t may very largely be averted by
first treating the leather to several
coats Of fish oil or vaseline we'll rubbed
In. over which very thin coat Of par
affine is applied hot and the excess i'm
medlately wiped off. The shoes should
then be FURNISHED with cotton flannel
until the surface is smooth and. appar-
emily dry and free from oil or paraffin.
The shoe varnish is then thinly ap-
piled with small sponge fastened to q
wire. Several thin coats put on several
hours apart may be necessary to get
full luster. After that usually one thin
application is sufficient. Patent leath-
er paste polish rubbed over it and bur-
nished with flannel softens the glitter
and leaves very handsome bright sur
face. The chief other advantage to be
derived from its use comes from its
resistance to water. 1t Is, therefore, in
valuable when applied to preserve the
good looks Of the sides of the soles and
heels Of shoes to be worn in bad wealth
er and even to waterproof their bot
toms

the officials when they were advised
that the bennington Exchange Bank

vate brokers instead of an organized

In the legislative session of l905-06,

attention was called 10 the fact that
his Pennington bank as IL was term
ed. was not complying with the law

this fact came shortly after to my at
tention. Now. that he is recommend

the law before these most important
additional duties are put upon him.

Attempts To Commit Suicide.

In i'll health and Respondent, Ed Will Hams, a white man about 60 years of age, made a desperate attempt to commit sui eide by slashpg himself on the arms and legs with razor, severing several ar teries. Williams, who halls from Cinc1n- nati, was employed by the Rablc Cooper age company as a Watchman and has been suffering from heart trouble for some time. This morning he engaged a room at Mrs. Gaines boarding house on Seventeenth street About o'clock Mrs. Gaines heard a noise in the room and opening the door saw Williams stretched on the floor Tn a pool of blood. She called Officer Henry White, who was passing, who rushed into the room and took the razor from him with which he had in- hicted his wounds. The officer had to forcibly take the razor from him. Will Hams begged the officer to let him die as called, who dressed the self-inficted wounds and had the patient removed to the hospital, and at a late hour 1t was thought he would recover. Williams has no relative here but was expecting a visit from a brother who lives in Cincinnati. He left a note stating he wished to die and while pr. Griffiths was attending him he piteously begged the doctor to let him finish what he had begun. The at tempted suicide caused considerable ex- citement. Williams was quiet and unof- fensive and has quite a number of friends here.
