with everybody and dealt with frank
confidence. He was Indifferent to per

for newspaper criticism or praise. he
never sought the presidency and never
offered to occupy the center OF the

Moreover, he was independent OF

Having begun his career as business
man, Senator Aldrich continued through
out his public service to display business

for organization. Upon his election to the
Senate he was Immediately made CHAIR

PICKS KEARSARGE MOUNTAIN.
U. S. Geographic Board Settles Long
Standing Controversy.

Rival claims to the name "Kearsarge
mountain" have once again been pass
er upon by the United States geographi
board. The high peak in Merr-
mac county. N. H. is entitled to that
designation by the decision made. and
the rival mountain. in Carroll county,
it is ruled. is properly to he designated
as Pequawket mountain. This deci-
sion confirms the finding made Janu-
airy 6.
Evidence was presented showing that
the mountain in Merrimac county not
only Is the original Kearsarge noun
tain, but that it Is the mountain for
which the famous warship was named
and from it's slopes the timber used in
the construction of that vessel was cut.
This mountain, it was also shown. has
retained its original designation of
Kearsarge mountain since first applied
In the latter part of the seventeenth
century.
The action of the board was unani-
nous and is regarded as closing the
controversy.

about the tariff and was called the

interested in the theory than in the
details. Sherman was master of
finance and regarded as the greatest
financier who sat in the Senate in a
generation. But the schedules OF the
tariff bill wearied him. Jones of
Nevada was mainly interested in sill
yer and the currency. although he made
one of the greatest tariff speeches ever
delivered in the Senate, and which for
years afterward was a text book of

When the Senate committee decided
to frame a republican substitute for
the Mills bill, which came over from
the House In 1888. Senator Aldrich was
the only republican in the Senate who
could devote his entire time to its con-
sideration. 1t was during the discus
sion of this bill that the Senate awoke
to the realization that Senator Aldrich
had become the master mind in deal
ing with the tariff question. When the
Mckinley bill came over in the Fifty
nrst Congress-the work of William
McKinley-Senator Aldrich headed a
subcommittee which amended the
measure. What was true of the Nc
kinley bill in 1890 also applied to the
Dingley bill in 1896, and likewise in
large measure to the Wilson-Gorman
bill of 1894.
The most striking feature OF Senator
Aldrich's leadership was that it was
almost as effective on the democratic
side of the Senate as on his own. In
the recent history Of Congress there
had never been anothr man who pos
sessed his. genius for managing politi-
cal opponents as well as party friends.

Emergency Currency Law.
Mr.. Aldrich was alwaA ready to seize
upon any trend of public business to ad-
vance legislative causes in which he was was
interested. The bankers panic OF lso'
enabled him to give impetus to his piaii
to bring about monetary reforms. Ihe
first fruit of his labors in this dlrectloii
was the Vreeland-Aldrich emergency cur
rency law of 1908.
The emergency currency law was re-
garded by Mr.. Aldrich as the best REM
edy possible for speedy enactment. but ne
did not stop there He began work I'M
mediately upon a more permanent plan OF
currency reform. giving most of his time
commission. He was able to devote his
time unreservedly to this work because IN
1911 he declined to be candidate for re-
election, giving ill health as reason.
After his retirement from public lie
Mr.. Aldrich spent much of his time in
travel but he continued to follow busi-
ness affairs. He saw many of his ideas
on the subject of currency enacted by the
democrats. and although the new law did
not bear his name, 1t is known to large
extent he approved Of what was done.

CHEAP MATERIALS CAN BE USED
FOR HousE.cLEANtNG

There are so many cleaning agents
on the market, some good, and many
positively harmful, that many house
keepers are forgetting the inexpensive
materials which she may purchase in
bulk and which clean perfectly. For
oils and polishes there are crude oil,
kerosene, a mixture of boiled linseed
OIL vinegar and turpentine, one part

For removing stains one can get
oxalic acid with ammonia to neutral
ize the acid and vinegar.
Rotten stone, whiting and a plain
sand soap will furnish the gritty sub.
stances needed, and weak solution
of carbolic acid and some chloride Of
lime will be all that is necessary as a
disinfectant and deodorizer. In the

these rules for cleaning might prove
helpful:
Painted surfaces and wood work

be added to the water or a white soap
used, but alkaiis are ruinous.
A highly polished surface such as q
plano is cleaned by washing with q
sponge and tepid water, and rubbing
until dry with wet channels wrung
out OF cold water. A dry chamois
streaks the surface.
Glass may be cleaned by rubbins
on whiting and water, leaving It dry
and rubbing 1t off with dry cloth.
But nothing excels hot water and
ammonia with final polishing with
tissue paper.
When furniture needs cleaning 1t
may be done with crude oil or the
Iinseed oil, vinegar and turpentine,
mixture. Silver and plate.ware should
be cleaned thoroughly with good
SOAP and hot water, but II 1t is stained
