Best lle*iu of Preventing This Dangerous Condition. the best means' of preventing the internal rusting of boilers, as lately pointed out by a German authority on the subject, are—while the boiler is working—first, removing air from the feed water before it enters the boiler; second, removing air from the water while in the boiler, and preventing its Accumulation in pockets, etc.; third, addition of ohemlcals to the feed water before it enters; fourth, protective coatings applied to the inside of the shell. While the boiler is standing idle resort mhy be had to the following: First, removing all moisture from the boiler, either by blowing it off while hot, or by producing an air current through it, or by plaolng hygroscopic bodies inside; Seoond, direot protection of the shells y painting with tar, varnish, etc., by Covering with protective paints and Buoh an alkaline coating as the milk of lime; third, protecting the shells from the varying temperatures by keeping the draught in the Hues constant, thus preventing moisture being alternately deposited and evaporated on, the shell; and fourth, protecting the shell by completely filling the boiler with water from which ail air has been expelled. It is of decided advantage that the feeding should be oomplete before the withdrawal ceases for a day, in order that the water left standing In the boiler over night may be as free from air as possible; an efficient circulation is also to be considered among the means of preventing rusting, as it hinders the formation of air bubbles on the shell, whijffl. if they remain clinging to it, cause rusting Faulty construction is however, more often the cause of internal rusting than axejunfavorable conditions of making. 1 { A .

MHS.TI&TZEL’S STORY Wife and Mother Tells the Sad Incidents of the Crime. HOLMES SITS INDIFFERENT. Trained None Wu In Attendance IJpaa the Almost Shattered Womaa, and frequent Doaea of Medlolne Were Administered—Prisoner Give*' nn Ex hi bitten Coolness and Nerve. Philadelphia, Oct. 81. — For four long hoars, under the scrutinizing g&M of a courtroom crowded with strangers, a pale worn woman yesterday underwent an ordeal which well might havo broken the nervo of many a strong man. She was Mrs. Carrie Alice Pietzel. With bravery and fortitude she stood the test, in spito of the fact that her physical condition has boon so shattered by the burden of woes under which she has all but succumbed that she was obliged to interrupt her pitiful narrative at frequent intervals to accept spoonfuls of inediciue of the trained nurse who attended her. In a voice broken with grief, she told the whole distressing story. How her husband was spirited away from her aud murdered out of sheer greed of gain; how she bade her little ones goodbye, confiding them to the care of the man Holmes in all trustfulness, little thinking that when next she should set eyes on them the two little girls womd be lying side by side on the marble slab of a morgue cold in death and the boy a parcel of charred bones. Between her bitter sobs she related every detail —from the first pieeting with Holmes almost up to date, and so affecting was the story that even District Attorney Graham, long used to tales of misery and distress, paused in the examination to wipe away a furtive tear. The woman’s physical condition was such that the court crier had to reEeat her testimony after her, because of er weak voice. Holmes an Unmoved Listener. Throughout it all, the shrunken, pallid figure in the dock—who to one unfamiliar with the shocking story, would never be taken for the arch criminal of the age—sat unmoved. Not a muscle quivered, not a lash moved, even when the strain became so great that the ing halted to give the wretched woman an opportunity to recover herself. Indeed, once or twice, as some statement from her lips struck -a chord in his breast—if chords there be in such a man —a malicious sneer played around his thin and bloodless lips. But never once did the woman look toward him. During every moment of the long examination she" kept her eyes riveted on the commonwealth’s officers or counsel for the defense, as if fearing to shift them to either side lest in their course they should fall on the face of the man in the dock. There were other witnesses called, but, naturally, Mrs. Pietzel’s testimony was the feature of the day. She went on the stand at 2:30 in the afternoon, immediately upon the reassembling of oonrt, and remained there, except for the evening intermission, until 8:30 o’clock last night. The cross examination of the witnesses was conducted actively by Messrs, Shoemaker and Rotau, the lawyers whom Holmes dismissed and then recalled, but it was apparent that it was really Holmes himself who was conducting the defense. He continued to take copious notes, and almost momen-. tarily his attorneys were at his side accepting suggestions. < Still the wonder continues at the exhibition of coolness and nerve made by the man Holmes. Not a change passed over his features during the day, and at many critical points of the testimony he sat carelessly reading a newspaper. * There will be a pretty point of law in the case presently—if anything associated with it can be called so. There is a law here that a wife cannot testify against her husband. In spite of this Mr. Graham declared that he would call the alleged Mrs. Holmes or Howard to the stand. This is why he has been combatting Holmes’ assertion that Miss Yoke is liis lawful wife. DEVASTATED BY A CYCLONE. Hnhnina Islanders Stop a Passing Ship and Ask For Food. Galveston, Oct. 31.— The British steamship Honiton, 27 days from Antwerp, arrived at port yesterday afternoon. Captain Hudson reports having passed the Bernini island, in the Bahamas, on Saturday last, when 10 men, white aud colored, came out to him in -twp boats and asked for food, telling him that the islands had been devastated by the cyclone of Got. 22 and that the people were starving. He gave them as much of his supplies as he could spare. As he passed along others came out aud begged for food. The British Jack was run up to half mast at one place as a Bign of distress. / The matter has been reported to the British consul here. Joins the Salvation Army. Masco Utah, II Is., Oct. 81.—Miss LizzieGundlach, a prominent society young lady at Belleville, has astonished her friends by joining the Salvation Army. Her relatives protested iu vain. She expects to take a course in Chicago in the spring, preparatory to engaging in slum work. Iu the meautime she will sell the War Cry on the streets of Belleville. Dying From Knife Wounds. Milwaukee, Oct. 81.—Patrick Coughlin, a veteran of the Second New York heavy artillery, is lying at the point of death at the National Soldiers’ home with 17 knife wounds, wiiioh were inflicted by Thomas Kelley, a naval veteran. The latter is under arrest. JJo Pardon For Cnldwrll. Washington, Oot. 81. — President Cleveland has denied a pardon in the case of D.

Proceeding* ol' the KvaiiKelical Cun* furenm. The Young Peoples Alliance of the Evangelical association of the Kendalville ' district was opened Tuesday morning at the Evangelical church in this city by singing “All Hall the Power of Jesus Name,” and prayer by Kev. C. M. Pierce, of Waterloo, after Which Kev. Wi-e read the 33rd psalm. Mayor Quinn delivered a very appropriate address of welcome to the , convention, after which Kev. D. Mart/, , ably responded. The convention was then organized by the election of Rev Martz, chairman ami Kev. Mygraut, of KendallVllle, secretary. The appointment of a committee on rules ’ of order was next made and report adopted, i a question drawer was provided for in a similar manner. Tne time for the sessions , was fixed at 8:30 to 11:30 a. m. and 1:20 to t 4;30p, m. Evening se.-slon, 7:80. , After these preliminary arrangements 1 the convention proceeded, with the program in hand, “The Department of Literary Culture,” was treated by I). W. 1 Koenig, of Winchester, after which followed a spirited discussion. A. Van Camp, ■ read an able paper on “The Department of i sympathy and relief.” Ye have heard i that it hath been written: “Dust thou ait, , to dust reiurnest was not spoken of the ; soul.” but Bro. Vancamp says practical sympathy also is immortal. The conveut tioh now sung one of those soul inspiring hymns'. The discussion which followed this subject brought out the same idea that one of old expressed: “Pure re igion ami undetiled before God and the Father is this. To visit the lathererless and widows ill their affliction and to keep himself uu- ’ spotted from the world.” Convention now adjourned with prayer by Rev. F. L. Snyder, to meet again at 1:30 p. m. Monday evening a large audience as- ! sembled iu the church to listen to an appro- | priate lecture by Kev. F. L. Snyder, former pastor in this city, on “Present Tense Religion.” The lecture was well fitted as preparatory to the Young Peoples Alliance , convention which is now in session in the same church. All are heartily invited to partake of this feast of good tilings. Let us “Act iu the Living Present” ana tend ; the convention. Wednesday’s session^ The convention was opened by the chairman reading an appropriate scripture lesson, after which the entire assembly joined heartily iu the hymu, "More About Jesus.” l’he opening devotional exercises were ; brief but impressive. A motion was carried to the effect that : all the ministers and Y P A members of the district be considered advisory memt bers. Upon motion a committee was ap--1 pointed 6n resolutions, con-listing of the following members of theVconvention; Dr ti W Cook. Rev S I Zechiel, A Van Camp, Kev F L Snyder, Miss Ida Kay. The opening paper for the afternoon on “Juvenile Department of the Y l’ A” was prepared by Miss Ray. Inspired by the payer the audience appropriately sang. Beautiful Beekouiug Hands. The discussion which followed this subject showed that the juvenile department is one which Is very good Again the convention joined heartily in singing. Mighty Army of the Y’outig. Dr Cook, of Kendailville, in an able paper portrayed the, difference between active and honory members of tbe \ PA. We are glad to say.tluit iu this the active are prized more than the honor \. The discussion which followed this paper was one which was unusually spirited; the lay-delegates now began to take the proper part, feeling more at liberty to speak. “The department of entertainment” was next properly ventilated by Miss Annie Winnes. This paper deserves a .wider -circulation. The devil makes use of too many good and innocent amusements to draw people away to sin. One of these the church might use to draw mankind to Christ is p-ood music. The Y. P. A. undoubtedly is doing good work by soul-inspiring song. The discussion of this paper was animated, bringing out the idea •that entertainments need to have a double fence and a high fence round about them .to keep the devil out. Entertainments should be so. conducted as to make the entertained b§t ter. We were next favored by a paper prepared by L. J. Speicher of tlrbana, on “The department of Christian work.” 'ltie convention seemed to think this department of vital importance, and certainly it is the all important work. 'Pile Afternoon session adjourned by an appropriate hymn, after which Rev. S. J. Zichiel led in prayer. Wednesday evening—After the devotional exercises led .by Kev J E Stoops. Rev A Geist, oMTbana, read a profound and scholarly paper on The Bible, the Book of God. This exercise was indeed a masterly production remting infidelity in a logical manner. The Study of the Bible was next presented in a practical manner by Rev Mygraut. after which the audience listened to Kev F L Snyder on The Biblein the Home. The last address of the evening by Rev J W 1 Metzm-r on The Bible in the Sunday '■'School contained much truth WQithy of consideration. Thursday's session. Devotional exercises and reading of the minutes opened the exercises of the day’s work. M S Kratner outlined the subject; The Yl’ A Fishing for Souls in a very practical maimer. The discussion following was very practical and profitable, Throw out the Life Line. Mrs. W E Burk’s essay on Degrees aud Limits of Growth in Grace, contained a great deal of scriptural truth. How Does the Y P A Develop and Culture the Intellectual Man? was ably discussed by Rev Metzuer. The alliance is conducive to selfculture aud nothing is so productive of true development as truth attained by selfexertion, intellectual and spiritual. Next was a paper on The Ideal Y U A President by Rev Pierce. Bro P seems to think that the ideal is a creature of the imagination. Yet the two jnost essential qualifications are the intellectual and spiritual. The convention at this juncture eagerly took hold of The question drawer, • which was the sourep'of some very interesting discussions. The entire audience was then led in earnest prayer by Rev Geist. And adjourned W. II Leonard will offer tor sale at bis residence, 4 miles southeast of Decatur, iu Washington township, Adams county, Indiana, on Tivursuay, Nov. 7,-. 1895, the following personal property, to-wit: Cattle, hogs, horses and farming implements.

— BEAUTIFYING THEIR FEET. Toon - Women Preparing to Bathe Next Season Without shoo* or Stocking*. Every manicurist nowadays is also a pedicurist. Not a few stylish young women pay ae much attention to dressing their toe nails aa their finger nails. A manicurist told me ail about it the other day. “It is all due to sea bathing," she said. “The woman who has a pretty foot is not averse to exposing it even to masculine scrutiny when she can do so without incurring the censure of those fickle powers that from time to time prescribe what constitutes propriety according to the shifting usage of society. “The beach offers superb opportunities for the display of pedal charms. It is not alone fondness for salt water that makes pretty girls go bathing. You may have noticed that many of tnem seem more partial to the sand than to the water when in bathing costume. “A pretty foot as well as a pretty face is a ‘cheering sight to see,’ and the pretty foot is something that sun bo cultivated. I can make a shapely foot a thing of beauty and a joy forever, and a foot, that wasn’t originally cast in a well-formed mould I can make presentable. There is one thing that is fatal to a pretty foot, and that is a tight shoe. Much of my wrok consists in overcoming the deformities thus created. It takes time, but it can be done. “I have at least a dozen young women who seek my professional assistance regularly once a week, and that their time is well bestowed will be proven at several fashionable watering resorts next summer, to the admiration of tliedr masculine friends and the envy of some of their feminine friends. “There is nothing immodest in the Idea of a woman showing her feet sans shoes and stockings, and since it involves the abandonment of tight shoes, and consequent freedom from corns and ether evils that tight shoes entail, I think it is something that ought to be encouraged. If sandals were fashionable I shot:id soon be rich. I don’t doubt that pedicurists did a thriving business in the palmy days of Greece and Rome.” —Chicago Tribune. DOLLS AND THUR WORLD. Dressed In Clothes That Pit of Fashions l'p to I) Its. “This is really -a. fascinating business,” said a dolls’ dressmaker to a New York Sun interviewer. ‘I enjoy it almost as much as I did when I made dolls’ dresses for my own dolls when I was a little girl. I have a great deal of liberty ih the choice and modifications of designs, and I try to make my dolls representative of the latest fashions. The skirt dance is all the rage in dolls at present, and the Palmer Cox Brownies are having quite a sal®-. But these novelties never last longs and they do not affect the regular spae of the every-day dolls, the just nfein American ones, with yellow hair and blue eyes, that have been dear to generations and generations of children. “There is more art in dressing a doll than you'd think. All the underclothes must be finely stitched and lace-trim-med in the high-priced stock. The gown must fit perfectly and have as much chic about it as if it came from the other side. Indeed, you can see for yourself that the domestic doll compares favorably with the imported one. Yes, I do tailoring for the Joy dolls also, but they never sell as well as the girl dolls, and their outfits are a great deal harder tp make. dolls we keep a stock of ready-made clothes on hand, from coats and millinery to dresses and shoes. Our' dressed dolls retail from' 25 ■ cents to s2*s. We retail an imported French doll. 30 inches tail, with, a handsome toilet, at $22. A bride and trousseau complete Costs $9, and a bridegroom, a fine little gentleman ih evening dress of broadcloth, with a white, starched dress shirt, collar aud cuffs, gold studs, white/kid glov’es, patent leather boots, a fine, flowing mustache-, costs a slo.'bill. A little Lord Fauntleroy. in a blade velvet suit, is sold for sls. The Kestner talking dolls, dressed, range from $2 to $5. Baby dolls, in long clothes, with entire layettes and pretty toilet baskets® range from $6 upward.” Snip! snip! go the scissors, and the latest edition of Loie Fuller, in a pink skirt, is ready for,,the public eye. The fin de sieele Edison doll is the very latest phase in this evolution, it is an accomplished child of science, and can repeat fluently rhymes from Mother Goose. It costs $lO without a wardrobe, has a metallic body in which is placed a phonograph, and is altogether a thing of beauty and a joy so long as it keens in order. But alas for the Edison doll! It has had to go into eourt fer sotna.reason or other, and the A Bab? Pi imifi's Prince of York, the royal babe who will in the long future be the head of the British Empire, will shortly have his first English-made carriage. It consists of a perambulator of the highest class workmanship, of the “Print-ess Irene”* brouche pattern, is fitted with non-vibrating leatherhung oee-springs and silent cycle wheels, with hollow rubber tyres. The vehicle is upholstered in finest dark-green morocco leather, softly padded with horsehair cushion.?,- so constructed that the infant occupant can recline or ride with face pr back to the nurse. The visage is protected from rain by a cowhide hood, easily adjusted to any position, and iu subshine this can be removed aud the Prince shad oil front heat by an awning of tussore silk, lined to match the carriage apd trimmed with delicate and beautiful lace. Baby cars of a somewhat similar have been built by the same firm for the children of j the Duchess of File and Princess Hsnry ot Prussia.—London Telegraph,
