GIRL SAVES BOY.

Miss Lucy Baldwin, nineteen years
old, of Scranton, Pa, proved herself
a heroine at Towaco, N. J., by risk
ing her life to save that of John
Graham, a ten-year-old boy, who had
fallen over a cliff and lay stunned on
a shelf of rock fifty feet below
Miss Baldwin saved him by lower
ing herself over the side of the pre-
cipice with a clothesline and then
likewise lowering him another fifty
feet to the bottom of the cliff.
The child was unconscious, but
aside from severe bruises and cuts
was not seriously injured. Miss
Baldwin, however, is suffering from
cuts in her hands, inflicted by the
rope in her descent. She has re-
turned to Scranton.
The accident and rescue occurred
at Baldface Cliff, on the esat side of
Waukhaw Mountain. Miss Baldwin,
who had been visiting her uncle,
Wesley Jacobus, Lad walked to the
Waukhaw with her cousin, Miss Es-
telle Jacobus, and the Graham boy.
The child stepped on a loose stone
and rolled over the precipice. Miss
Baldwin ran to louse quarter OF
a mile away and got the rope. Re-
turning, she and Miss Jacobus fast
ened one end to a tree.
Then, holding to the line, she
swung down to the unconscious lad.
| She wrapped her petticoat around
him, and with the rope lowered the
inanimate boy tc safety
The strain on her arms was ter
rifle After her feat she slid down
the rope, trying to protect her hands
with cloth torn from her dress, but
they were cut almost to the bone.
The three remained at the foot OF
the bluff several hours, too exhaust
ed to go further. Finally Mr.. ia
cobus found them and took them
home.

Butter Two Centuries Old.

Ghee is used in India as is butter
in America and European countries,
and, in fact, is butter, so prepared
that it never grows stale, instances
being known of its preservation for
as long as 200 years. In preparing
ghee butter is boiled until all the wat
cry particles and curds have been
thrown off by repeated skimmings.
When the liquor is clear it is poured
into a vessel to cool. When cooled it
is in gvanulated form and will keep
for years without becoming rancid OF
of bad color. Ghee has been found
in deserted castles, where it must
lave been left more than two cantu>

TO SOFTEN REAL LACES.

All real laces after having been
washed (it is reasonable to suppose
that almost an excess of care has been
bestowed upon them in the process)
should be dipped in skim milk. 1t
softens the color and restores to the
thread the necessary oil. Bluing
should never be used in rinsing real
or imitation laces.-New York Press

fashioned face-swellers and skin-peel-

their place are sold sure, safe, slow

speckles and spots.-Boston Herald.

French discoveries of asbestos have
been made upon the property of the
South Urals Asbestos Company in the
Orsk district. The average content
in asbestos of one deposit is fifteen
per cent. At times it reaches as high
as eighty per cent, in point of quail
ty resembling chrysolite, and being
very soft and woolly. The fibre is
strong, while the color in Jumps is
olive green, but the single staple ap-
pears to be pure white. A second de-
posit presents similar conditions and
wealth of content.
An ingenious scheme of burglar
protection, embodying specially de-
signed curtains and portieres, has
been invented by a Dresden engineer.
The curtains and portieres are made
of any of the materials used for such
purposes, and wired with fine conduc-
tors. At certain places on the cur
tains are affixed small metals knobs,
connected with the wire conductors.
When drawn across a window or door,
or around a safe or vault, the slight
est disturbance of their position i'm
mediately breaks the circuit, as the
Tnetal knobs are thus thrown out of
contact with each other. Should the
intruder notice the wires and cut one
or more of them, his action would
break the circuit and start the alarm

DARNING CASES.

Useful cases for darning cotton
are made similar to those for hold
ing spool thread. Cut two circular
pieces of cardboard, not quite five
inches in diameter. Cover these on
both sides with some pretty cretonne
or silk, slipping little sachet powder
under the interlining. Now place be-
tween the two covered pieces three
spools of darning cotton-one each
of white, tan and black-equal dis
tance from each other and the edge
Puncture holes SO that the spools
may be held in place by threading
ribbon back and forth. Tie the ends
of the ribbon in a bow and the casa
is complete.-Detroit News-Tribune.

TO CLEAR VINEGAR CRUETS.
To keep a vinegar cruet shining
and clean is not easy, as many a
housewife can testify. The neck of
the cruet being narrow, usual bottle
cleaning methods are futile.
After washing the bottle with hot
soapsuds and rinsing thoroughly
few hard beans can be inserted in the
bottle, which is then almost filled
with water, to which a few drops of
ammonia have been added. Shaking
the beans around will remove incrus-
tation from the sides.
A long handled paint brush with
full. thick but not broad brush, is ex-
cellent to clean out cruets. 1t can be
dipped in solution of soda or borax.
One housekeeper saves and dries
her egg shells, and puts them in her
cruets, which are half filled with
soapy water. After shaking thor
oughly, until the bottles are clean, the
cruets are washed and rinsed with
cold water, followed by hot water.-

! public lands in the executive. This
resolution proposed 10 vest that con-
troll in the legislature Why should
they be scared with the notion that
before congress acted the executive
would dispose of all the lands2 If
they passed this resolution it would
amount to nothing. The Legislature
had no power to alter or repeal any
provision of the Organic Act, which
was our constitution today. When
they passed this resolution it could not
prevent the Governor or the commits
sioner of public lands from selling
land. It would only raise a eontro-
versy over the legislative and the ex-
ecutive powers and show legislative
distrust of the executive.
Prominent business men were called
to consult about whether this special
session should be called. Most of them
were opposed to it. The Governor was
opposed TO it, being afraid that the
legislature might go beyond what it
was called for. Congress might fail to
pass the bill next session or in a hun
bred years. They would all be dead
then. Two or three generations would
have passed away and the lands be
tied up all the time by this resolution.

said he fought for the election of Sen

was in favor of homesteads for the
people. 81 am a Home Ruler,' he con-
Guided. s'and was not called to see
the Governor, but [ am supporting the
Governor because he wants to give the
people homesteads. I move that the
resolution be indefinitely postponed.
President Smith thought there was
a great deal of force in the arguments
of Makekau and Baker, that they were
conflicting with the constitutional pow
ers Of the executive in this resolution.
1t began with a request and ended
with a permission. They might be a
little ashamed of it later. They had
not the power to say the government
shall or may not do this or that where
the Organic Act spoke.
The motion to Indefinitely postpone
the resolution was lost on the follow
ing vote:
Ayes-Baker, Kalama, Knudsen, Ma

By the same tally reversed, the res
olution passed.

Would Defy Organic Act.

Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 3,
requesting the commissioner of public
lands to withhold from sale or ex-
change any public lands until after the
amending of the Organic Act in that
regard, came up for action.
President Smith asked if it would
be wise to take action to tie the hands
of the government until congress act
ed, which might not be at the next
congressional session nor even the one
after.
Harvey, author of the resolution,
answered that by the time congress
acted, all the valuable lands might be
sold or exchanged.

until two 'clock. He wanted to go

CIRCUIT COURT OF
 DADEYILLE BUSY
CIVIL DOCKET IS PRACTICALLY CLEARED BUT ADJOURNMENT IS DELAYED PENDING REPORT OF GRAND JURY.

Dadeville, September 24.-(Special.)- Court has been in session here this week, and while the civil docket has been prac- tically cleared, adjournment has not yet been taken because the grand jury is still sitting. It is not known how many bills have been returned, but 1t is rumored that a large number of blind tiger cases have been under investigation, and several bills against alleged offenders are expected. A good many cases were already docketed, having been continued or appealed from minor courts. busy week is anticipated for next week, and it is likely that the term will run into a third week.
 Judge Brewer of this circuit received news of the illness of his father-in-law and left Thursday his place being filled by Hon. w. IT. Thomas, judge of the first division of the city court of Mont gomery. Judge Thomas has made a fine impression here and will stay over to hold the criminal term of the court.
 The civil docket has been lighter than usual, no very important cases being tried. A rather unusual case was a proceed ing by the state against c. l.. Pearson, to raise his tax valuation. MT. Pearson owns some 1900 acres of land, and when his taxes were raised with practically every one elses in the county by the tax commissioner, he refused to pay the in- creased taxes. MT. Pearson, concerning whom there has been some little talk with regard to the governorship race next year. and who is a bitter opponent of the Conner administration, while not prac- ticing lawyer, defended his own suit and made a very strong speech to the jury in his own behalf. His taxes were raised, but not to the amount the state claimed they should be.

GERM MAN LEAGUE
 CONDEMNS MOVE
PULLMAN COUNTY oRGANiZA- TON GOES ON RECORD AS AGAINST AMENDMENT AND DENOUNCES LEADERS.

Cullman, September 4.-tSpecial.)-At meeting of the German-American County league, held here, the organization, which controls about 1000 votes in this county, passed resolutions condemning the prohi- bition amendment to the constitution and denouncing the leaders in the amendment fight The meeting was presided over by William Richard, president of the or ganization The resolutions adopted fol- low in full:
 We condemn those fanatic eTohibition laws, because they are undemocratic, de- prive citizens of their personal liberty, cause untold damage to business, de- crease the value of property and are the death knell to German immigration.
 we denounce the actions of Governor Conner and his political helpers, especially Judge s. D. Weal1ley, A. H. Carmichael Brooks Lawrence and all such political parsons who influenced legislation.
 "We condemn the dishonorable actions of the democratic leaders, who after being elected by the people on a local option platform betrayed the confidence of the voters by placing statewide prohibition against their will. And all those of us who voted for them deeply regret it.
 We condemn the unheard of idea of placing these radical prohibition laws for ever in the constitution and the untrue sayings that this would put an end for ever to the prohibition question. We are also strictly opposed to having the state ruled by certain religious forces.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That every German American citizen of this county shall vote on November 29 like one man against the amendment, and further be it resolved, that We at all times will fight for the sanctity of our home and for the liberties and freedom as guaranteed by the constitution of the United States.
