WAS SUCCESSFUL TRIP
Launch Nancy Makes FIRST Trip
to Metaline.
News of the River Traffic.

The steamer Nancy made her initial
trip on the Newport Metaine run Tues
day. She left her docks here at II o.
clock in the morning, tied up an hour at
Cusick, and arrived at Metaline five
hours and five minutes after leaving this
city. The actual running time was four
hours and five minutes between this
place and the future lead city The trip
to Cusick was made in one hour and 20
minutes under about half speed. 1t is
probable that the run can be made to
that point from Newport in little less
than an hour. The trip was without
incident so far as any trouble wrs con-
cerned.
On the return trip the run through
Box canyon consumed only seven min
utes time, probably record for that
run, and the entire distance from Met
aline to Newport was covered in seven
hours and As minutes. General Man
ager Warner thinks that he can reduce
the time on both trips and probably
make the round trip in about 10 hours.
The regular schedule of the boat has

MR.. CLEVELAND'S ILLNESS,

Extreme and unreasonable heat dur
ing the past few days have had an un
favorable effect on former President
Cleveland, who is confined to his bed
at Lakewood, N. ]. Several sinking
spells have been experienced within
the past few days, and IL the excessive
humidity continues It is feared its eff.
fects will result fatally.
Cleveland's condition has been seri.
Gus for the past two months and while
the true nature of his ailment has
been kept from the public, 1t is known
beyond all doubt that the former pres.
ident is suffering from cancer of the
stomach, which ailment is aggravat.
ed by heat and makes his recovery
almost impossible.
1t had been hoped that Cleveland
would rally sufficiently to allow his
removal to Tamworth, N. H., where
he might escape the heat of this sec.
ton OF the country and prolong his
life.
Report has II that Mr.. Cleveland suf.
fered third sinking spell Wednesday
evening and was with difficulty re.
vived. Another report which is given
credence, is that Cleveland's condition
is critical, and that his family has
been notified that the end may be ex.
pected at any moment.

CUSHIONS FOR PINS
HANDY ARTICLES IN USE SOME
TIME AGO.
Then the Necessity for Economy Made
Them Of Value, To-day the Saw
ina Of Time Is More to Be
Considered.

Many a middle aged woman remem-
bers the handy pin cushion that hung
by the window in her grandmother
kitchen and another that stood on the
sitting-room table all bristling with
steel heads and eyes. The first cushion
was likely to be heart shaped and COW
cred with red flannel, and the other
made over a glass pedestal or brick.
The brick pin cushion, which betrayed
its foundation only in its shape, was
very useful for holding the end of a
long seam such as were then sewed by
hand, and along its sides were rows OF
blunts and sharps and favorite darn
ing needles, for in those days. before
one could buy needles and pins for a
penny a paper on bargain days, a
needle was used long time before &C.
cident happened to 1t.
Once In year or two the brick was
uncovered and the stuffed top taken
apart carefully to recover the various
valuable needles that had slipped out
of sight. / thought of all this when
my friend showed me what she called
"a Mary Wilkins cushion" because, as
she said, all the old ladies that she
remembered in her old New England
home used to keep one like it standing
in a corner of the window sill. These
cushions were either round like an APP
pie or pointed like strawberry or a
pineapple, and each was made over
what was once the base or stem OF a
glass goblet. The covering was gen.
orally piece from somebody's dress,
and had a story Of it's own, while round
the base was quilting of silk shipped
In points along the edge or else 1t was
a scrap of narrow fringe so much used
in those days for dress trimming. The
housewife bore the breakage of glass
with greater fortitude when she
thought of the possibilities of the
wreckage for pin cushion material; the
lower part of broken glass was often
a welcome gift from friend to friend
Even now IL is probable that there are
stored on upper shelves in some old
houses such fragments that were in
tended by thrifty matrons for making
the cushions which had the homely
beauty that belongs to things which
are frankly useful Modern pin trays
and much bedecked creations that are
kept up stairs on dressing tables. but
which you must not stick a pin into,
will never supplant them in convent
ence.-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

New Potatoes in ENGLAND.

Quite the most delicious way OF
cooking new potatoes is to place them
in boiling water with two or three
sprigs of fresh mint When the pota-
toes have been cooked and drained, a
little melted butter should be poured
over them. The mint adds most del.
icate, but not at all on abtrusfve
flavor. Instead of trying to peel new
potatoes. the English cook removes
the skins by rubbing them very hard
with an extremely stiff brush. This
leaves them both white and smooth,
and obviates the necessity OF peeling
them after cooking.-The Delineator.
