KNOX REFUSES
TO DISCUSS IT
Silent on Candidacy for Key
stone Governorship.
BELIEVED HE WILL ACCEPT

Impression Prevails in Washington
That if the Republicans of PennsyI-
vania Unanimously Nominate Him
for Chief Executive He Will Retire
From the State OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
of Dissension at Washington Denied
Washington, June 20.--Secretary of
State Knox declined to announce
whether he would leave the cabinet
and run for governor of Pennsylvania
II nominated by the Republican con-
vention, which meets June %.
II know absolutely nothing about
the matter, except what have seen in
the newspapers" said Secretary
Knox, smiling blandly. 81 have not
authorized anybody to say or do any
thing for me in this respect. / do not
think it expedient to say anything
about it at this time"
Further than this Secretary Knox
could not be induced to speak. The
impression grows, however, that If the
Pennsylvania convention should nomi-
nate Secretary Knox unanimously he
will accept.
Why Secretary Knox should be will
ing to leave the cabinet, even for the
governorship of Pennsylvania, is some
thing of mystery in official circles.
Rumors of Discussions Denied.
Stories of disagreements between
himself and President Taft are denied
on all sides as canards. In fact, both
President Taft and Mr.. Knox have
taken occasion recently to express
their admiration for and confidence in
each other. After cabinet meeting
only one week ago, they appeared in
the executive offices with the presi-
dents arm wrapped affectionately
about the shoulders of Secretary Knox,
each laughing heartily at some humor-
Gus observation by the president.
While it is true that President Taft
has not used the acknowledged legal
ability of Secretary Knox so much as
1t was expected he would do, but has
relied for legal advice on Attorney
General Wickersham, 1t is equally as
true that Secretary Knox has been SUI
preme in his work at the head of the
state department.
1t Is conceded by all the Pennsylva-
MIA members of congress now here
that If Secretary Knox wants the
gubernatorial nomination In Pennsyl-
vania he can have 1t for the asking

House Finally Passes Rail-
road Measure.
FINAL DEBATE IS BRIEF
Feature Of Closing Discussion Speech
by Representative Adamson of Geor-
ga, Minority Member of the Con-
ference Committee, Who Bitterly At
tacks Its Provisions and the Admin
Istration Behind II.

Washington, June 20-The confer
adopted by the house after a debate
lasting one hour and fifty minutes.
The report had previously been adopt
ed by the senate.
The feature of the debate in the
house was bitter speech by Repre-
sentative William c. Adamson of Geor-
gia, in which he not only severely
criticised the administration for what
he said was it's part in the framing
was legislation not demanded by the
people nor for their benefit. The
commerce court provision, Mr.. Adam
son cOntended, created commission
which would be for political advantage
only.
The representative from Georgia
took up the measure as 1t has been
agreed upon in conference, in which
he was the minority member. Say
ing that he could not vote for the re-
port he defended his attitude, assert
ing there was no law requiring him to
vote for pet measure Of an adverse
administration, which, he added, was
SO partisan bill as to require the ex.
clusion of Democrats in the confer
ence committee.
There still remains in this bill, Mr..
Adamson said, ''the initiation of the
pernicious system of stock and bond
manipulation; the creation of com.
merce court, a useless. foolish travesty
ON Jurisprudence and unconstitution-
al mutilation of our judicial system
The bill still gives to the attorney gen
eral, though in modified forms and de.
gree, control of litigation"
Some Good Points in Measure.
He went on to say that the confer.
ence had stricken from the bill many
provisions which he considered bad
and had inserted many which he con
sidered good and not intended by the
authors of the measure. For those
reasons he felt that five months OF
labor had been value to the country
LET us hope he added. that no
similar effort at legislation with like
purposes and methods will ever be
made in this country again."
He contended for states rights, say
ing that without the right of states tc
regulate corporate affairs and physical
operations within their borders there
would be no effective legislation.
'The cherished ambition OF the ad
ministration to broaden the federal
governments powers is continuing
menace which all patriots should
dread. resist and rebuke," he said
dramatically.
When he referred to the recent In
creases in rates by the railroads and

How to Make Good Coffee.

Here is recipe for coffee that never
fails: Use tablespoonful of coffee for
each cupful desired and one spoonful
for the pot. Mix with n small quantity
of cold water and bring to n bell. A
little white Of an egg mixed with the
coffee and cold water or well washed
eggshells added will help to make the
coffee clear, but egg is not essential to
good coffee. After the coffee. has boil
ed for few minutes add the 2 uantity
of boiling water desired. Let it sit for
one minute. pour a little cold water

CARE OF SHOES AND HOSE.
How 10 Clean the Former and Save

How TO Clean the Former and Save
a the Latter.
Most girts who have to darn their
own stockings have given up wearing
pumps. The slipping up and down on
the heels would wear out any stockings
In day, and there was not time at
the end Of the week to keep them
mended UP.
II trouble is still experienced with all
evening slippers and also the oxford
ties 1t IS an excellent plan to haste a
small square of black silk on the out
side of the stocking just where the
shoe rubs. This will be found a Won
derful relief as regards the knowing
that the heel of ones stocking Is sure
to be quite whole. and 1t will also save
the lining of the shoe itself. When
the stocking is rubbed to hole the
creases IN turn wear out the lining of
the shoe
Just as soon as n shoe lining has
become worn it should be taken to be
mended. For very small amount a
shoe or slipper can be entirely re-
lined. If necessary. and this will save
the stockings extraordinarily. Many
girls now have a bit of suede placed at
the inner side Of the heel of the shoe,
thinking it will help TO keep low shoe
from slipping.
\ girl who finds she gets unreason-
ably tired and has constant backaches
from walking on city pavements may
be reasonably sure that the last of her
shoe is wrong for her and that the heel
is either too high or placed too far for
ward. Rubber heels are also great
fatigue savers in n city.
For summer white canvas and white
buckskin are generally worn with
white gowns. but for the morning rus
set shoes and stockings ere equally
smart for young girls. To get their
brown shoes TO a good color they
should take the trouble of always
cleaning and polishing them them
selves. If it is desired to keep the
leather light in color the shoes should
be polished as seldom as possible and
the polish allowed TO dry thoroughly

How to Keep OilcIoth Clean.

Those who use oilcloth as Il covering
for floors often find it hard to keep it
in good condition. 1t should never be
scrubbed with hard brushes or washed
with strong soap or soda. Oilcloth
should be cleaned by being washed
with soft cloth and tepid water, and
should it be very dirty Il little ammo
mia should be dissolved in the water
When ii IS dry rub the oilcloth well

then rub the oilcloth with boiled lin

good condition. Milk also is good
for it.

TWAIN'S FIRST LECTURE.
Bret Hsrte Headed tho Claque. but the
Audience Swampsd Them.


Mr.. Clemens prepared lecture for
his San Francisco audience. giving a
most extravagant account Of what he
had seen among the south sea islands.
When Bret Harte and some other of
his friends were told of his plat orm
intention they agreed 10 Ia In II body
to the old Mechanics hall. where
Twain was TO deliver himself. and
form a big claque that would insure
the success of the affair
Mark wrote his own handbills. which
set the town agog with anticipation
One particularly inviting phrase print
ed at the bottom Of the announcement
was, "The trouble will begin at s D. N"
The hall was crowded. and IT, claque
was uproariOus when Clemens appear
ed upon the platform. The lecture was
delivered with manifest effort IN n
slow, deliberate, dra wiling manner, and
the lecturer paid no heed whatever to
the inconsiderate demands of Faster,
faster! We can't stay here all night"
and other urgent calls.
Although Harte tried to steer the
claquers. they insisted upon applaud
which may or may not have been In
tended as Joke on Twain. but at last
the audience, which began to catch on
TO the unique style of the man and to
appreciate his quantity whimsical ut
terances, overwhelmed the claQue and
had things it's own wav.
An old timer who attended the lee
ture says Of the effect of Twain upon
his FIRST audience: His slow draw
the anxious and perturbed expression
OF bis visage, the apparently painful
effort with which he framed his sen
fences and. above all. the surprise that
spread over his face when the audi.
ence roared with delight or rapturous
ly applauded the finer passages were
unlike anything of the kind they had
ever known. The lecture was q great

CLEANING BLACK GOODS.
How They Can Be Freshened and
Kept From Getting Gray.


Where black must be worn in sum-
mer, as for mourning, it is hard to
keep it from getting gray and dusty
looking
4 frock must be well shaken as soon
as It IS taken off and the hem OF the
skirt gone over with a stiff brush.
Then dust carefully with n fine whisk
using n soft velvet brush or piece of
black Grape for silk or net trimmings.
This treatment should be insisted
upon where maid Is kept and other.
When the habit is once established It
does not take long, and frock is al
ways ready when needed.
If the material has grown gray or
shiny 1t can be freshened by wiping
Off with alcohol. This is particularly
good for black hats and does not hurt
Grape If carefully applied
Where black goods are much spotted
they can be cleaned with common
brown soap, such as is used in the
kitchen. Sponge well with n thick
suds of the soap, rinse and press on
the wrong side or under n thick cloth
to prevent shininess.
When mud stains remain on q black
skirt after careful brushing they can
often be removed by rubbing with half
a raw potato.
Do not use ammonia TO clean black
gowns. This is common cleanser
but makes the material, especially
woolenS, rusty.
Cotton or linens are apt to turn gray
unless carefully washed. Black starch
should be used
