Leather Furniture.

The cleaning of leather upholstered
furniture is a question that concerns
almost every housewife, for those who
do not possess one or more pieces of
the padded leather kind have at least
the leather seated diners that require
refurbishing three or four times a year.
Procure three large size cheesecloths,
q. basinful Of tepid or nearly warm
vinegar, say tablespoonful, and a
mixture of the whites of two eggs and
a half pint of turpentine. The mix
ture is best made by first beating the
eggs to a froth and placing 1t in bot
tie before the turpentine, and then be-
fore each application it is well shaken
in the bottle.
Large pieces of leather furniture are
gone over in sections, first with the
cheesec1oth, which has been dipped in
the warm water to- which has been
added the vinegar. and then after be-
ing carefully wiped with a dry cheese
cloth it is polished with a cheesecloth
or chamois slightly saturated with the
egg white and turpentine mixture; af-
ter this the article is carefully wiped
dry with other cloths.
Seats of the dining chairs can be
done one at time with ease.
Any leather covered article, such as
seat pads and even go carts not leav-
ing out the dull calf or gun metal
shoe, can be renovated after a fashion
by the same process, and shiny leather
thus treated will admit of a polish
more readily than before it is applied.

sIcILIAN PROBABLY A
BLACK HAND VICTIM.
Shot Dead While He Was Lying on His
Face on a Table.

New York. Sept "a murder at
tended by decidedly unusual circum-
stances was committed today when
Frank Busso, a Sicilian. was shot dead
while he was lying on his face on a
table under small shed in a yard in
the rear of an East Sixty third street
tenement. The murder is supposed to
be the work of Black Handlers.
Two white handkenchiefs lay on
Busso's body, one above and one be-
low the wound, and an electric arc
light was directly overhead.
The police believe that the murder
was cunningly planned, that the man
was piled with drink until he. became
drowsy, and was, placed on the table
and that the handkerchiefs were laid
on him to mark the spot at which the
assassins should aim from a nearby
window. A shotgun loaded with slugs
and buckshot was the weapon used.
Neither it nor the murderer has been
found.
The row of houses in the rear of
which Busso was slain is known by
the police as the Black Hand belt.
Fifteen bombs have been exploded
there within a year. and there have
been many shootings.

tomorrow for some of the events.

been the star of the meet on account
of his spectacular work, and he has
also won the bulk of the money, TAX

man, comes second with 2,254, and
Ovington third with S1,532, while Gra-
hame- White of England, whose work
was the feature of the meet last year,
has won only $3.50 to date.
