To Clean Kid Gloves.

Take a little sweet milk and a piece
of white or brown soap. Fold a clean
towel three or foul times, spread 1t
over your dress and spread out the
glove smoothly upon 1t. Take a large
piece Of white flannel, dip 1t in the
milk, then rub it upon the soap and
rub the glove downward toward the
fingers, holding the wrist of it by the
left hand. Continue this process until
the glove, II white, looks of a dingy
yellow, but, If colored, looks dark and
entirely spoiled. Now let 1t dry and
then put 1t on your hand, and it will
be soft, smooth, glossy and clean.
Take care. however, to omit no part
of the glove in rubbing it and see that
all the soiled parts are thoroughly
cleaned. This process applies only to
white and colored kid gloves. For
black gloves hat are soiled, turned
white and otherwise injured, take a
teaspoonful of salad oil, drop a ew
drops of Ink into it, and rub it all v
the gloves with the tip Of a feather;
her let them dry in the un. White
kid boots and slippers can also be
cleaned by the first process to look
"as good as new" and black kid boots
and slippers can be restored to their
pristine gloss by the latter method.

They Sized Each Other Up

something of quizzical suggestion, and
there seemed to play about his lips

was sitting a little to the rear o I
uy friend, the late Congressman Will
liam M. Springer of Illinois, who was
a member Of the committee. He turned
to me and said:
THE governor and Reed are meas
urlng each other up"
The young man at the end OF the
table was Thomas B. Reed, at that
time at the beginning Of his first term
as a member Of congress-.
During the entire giving of the tes-
timony by Governor Tilden Reed main
tanned the same peculiar attitude, his
chin upon the palm Of one hand, and
that half whimsical light In his eyes,
which had come to him when Tilden
first took his place beside Chairman
Potter. 1t was upon Mr.. Reed during
all the questioning and cross-ques'
tioning that the eyes of Samuel J. Til
den were fixed. And Reed, in that
strange, nasal. drawing tone, which
he could use with skill when he de-

sired to annoy or confuse or bewilder
anyone, asked Governor Tilden two or
three questions. They were leading
questions, and there seemed to be to
some members of the committee a
lurking tone of almost %insolence in
them.
After the committee had adjourned
for the day Mr.. Reed said to Mr..
Springer, IF you had put that man
into the White House you would have
nothing but ice and intellect there
as pat a summing up of Samuel j..
Tilden as was ever made.
So, also, after the committee had
adjourned for the day, Governor Til
den said to Clarkson M. Potter:
AT the foot Of the table sat the
man who Is to be the leader of his
party. He has more personal power
than all the other members Of the
committee. You will find, in the
course of a few years, that he will be
the master in the house Of represent
tatives and will become the leader or
his party. He is the man against
whom you should concentrate your
strength and of whom you should be
ever watchful."
A few years later Thomas B. Reed
was the big man on the Republican
side in the national house of repre-
sentatives.

He Believed Tin Was Of Greatest I'M
portance to This Country in the
Way Of Its Possible Oevel-
opment.

81 sometimes think that the great
est schoolmaster. both for an Amerl-
can business man and for a member
of congress-, Is a tariff bill when 1t Is
under consideration, either by the
WAYS and means committee Of the
house of representatives, or by the
house itself In committee Of the
whole"
It was in 1882 that this statement
was made to me by William Mck1n-
ley, who at hat time had been for SIX
years a member of congress and had
already become prominent because OF
his mastery from the protect1on1st
point of view of all questions relating
to the tariff. A tariff commission had
been appointed in 1882 whose duty 1t
was to report to congress a revision
of the tariff. 1t was while Mr. NC
Kinley was discussing some of the diff
fculties that this commission would
be compelled to meet and overcome
that he made the remark to me which
is quoted above.

fully to follow the hearings before the

Fly "Swatting" Has a Charm Of Its
Own Which the Hunter Will
Appreciate.

Fly hunting is without its literature,
yet It is almost the only form of hunt
ing that keeps the hunter amused in
his own home. 1t Is always available;
the game is plentiful, and it is one of
the few sports in which 1t Is a virtue
to be a game hog. Since the amount
of strength required is small, the
game Is open to young and old and
to members of both Poise Is
the matter of most importance, and
any one who is proficient enough
with a swatter to strike down a fly on
a swinging window cord or tip one OF
the shade of the gaslight without shat
tering the mantle need feel no hestta-
ton about going in for billiards. For
success in wing-shot swatting an ex-
%traordinary sharpness Of the y is
essential, for wing-shots only stun the
game, and unless the hunters sight
can follow it to the floor to strike a

How Samuel J. TiIden Met Thomas 3.
Reed at Session Of Committee
That Was Investigating tho
Presidential Election.

The first congress which was or
ganiZed after the inauguration or
President Hayes adopted a resolution
providing for an investigation Of the
manne in which the presidential cleo
ton of the year previous was con-
Quoted in the states Of Louisiana and
South Carolina. The purpose OF this
investigation. although not the &C
knowledged purpose, was to discover
whether returning boards in either or
both of those states had been brlbed
tC make returns in favor OF the Re
publican electors Of those states.
Clarkson M. Potter was the chairman
of this committee. He was the elder
brother of Rev. DR.. Henry c. Potter,
who afterwards became bishop of the
Protestant Episcopal diocese OF New
York. He was a lawyer of some dis
tinction and a man Of unusual charm
of personal character.
This committee held several ses-
sions at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
New York in the winter Of 1878. Sam
uel J. Tilden, the defeated Democratic
candidate for president, for whom new
ertheless a plurality of the people had
voted, was ~subpoenaed as a witness to
appear before this committee. Some
of the Republican members OF the
committee were anxious to test Gov
ernor Tilden's knowledge as to wheth-
er or not cipher dispatches, so called,
containing improper propositions, had
been sent by some Of those who were
managing the Democratic campaign to
the returning boards of South Caro-
lima and Louisiana.
Mr.. Tilden appeared before the COM
mittee in response to the subpoena
one afternoon. He stood beside the
chair of Mr.. Potter, one hand resting
upon the back of the chair. HI ex-
preston on Governor Tilden's face
yes extremely stern. OF course he
commanded the intensest interest on
the part of every member Of the COM
mittee, some Of whom had eve be-
fore seen him. Slowly. with penetrat-
ing although almost furtive look, he
glanced from one member Of the COM
mittee to the other as though trying
to measure them. At last his eyes
fell upon the Junior member of the
committee; and the defeated presf-
Dental candidate seemed to be fasci-
mated, or at least intensely occupied,
with the conduct of that young man.
This youngest member of the com
mittee sat at the lower end Of the
table, his chin resting in the palm Of
one hand. He fixed upon Governor

STYLES IN HAIR DRESSING
Smaller Chapeaux viii Necessitate
Radical Changes In tho Fashion
ing Of Colffures.

The gradual revival of the small
hat is causing several notifications
in the style Of our coiffures. The day
of piles upon piles Of curls has quite
passed. and 1t is even considered good
style to wear the hair almost fat, SO
long as it is not strained back from
the face. In fact, there are a few
women who have always kept to this
fashion of dressing their hair, and
there is one big dressmaker, noted
for her distinction, who insists upon
her models doing the same. thing
They part their hair in the middle.

There appeared almost all Of the lead

of the Winter Garden. beginning In

heard the story. as Stuart had heard 1t
from Booths own lips, of the manner
in which the first suggestion that
Booth play Hamlet came to him.
Booth has always been a somewhat
difficult man to have personal inter
course with" said Mr.. Stuart, "for
there Is a tinge of temperamental
melancholy about him which some
times strongly influences him, making
him frequently dreamy. Yet numer-

II remember that n afternoon
when he was about half through his

reminiscent mood and asked him II he
