added last. This will make the shoes look almost" as well as they did before th"'r rough treatment. When meditating a trip on a rainy day u is a wise plan to rub the shoes with a water-proof mixture, which will make them soft, pliable and hardy. A very good recipe for this is an ounce of beeswax, art ounce of turpentine, a quarter of an ounce of Burgundy pitch, melted over a flow fire with a half pint Of oil. He cautious about the turpentine. To wear patent leathers In winter time, and to keep them brigh and uncracked, requires care and eternal vigilance. Rub them, when dulled, with a little milk, and when they are not In use keep them in a. warm room. Always warm them slightly before putting upon the feet. On very cold days it ist a good plan to leave one's pa-tent leathers at home, because a trip hito the atmosphere of zero will almost assuredly cause them to crack. Stuffing the toes of patent leather shoes with cotton will keep them fibril bending nnd cracking. Keep your shoes well oil 1 In damp weather, sind if by chance they became wet through, let them dry slowly er they will warp and shrink. Treat your shoes carefully, because they are really Important items in a woman's make-up. The Cellar. One of the most neglected, and therefore dangerous departments of the entire household, is the cellar. This 13 quite liable to be more or less damp, and consequently to grow musty and mouldy, even If free from the infection of decaying vegetables, as Is not always the case. Besides, In not a few Instancies, a thorough investigation would disclose the presence of rough old boards laden with the germs of disease. Clear them all out; use brush, broom and shovel; get the whole area as clean as possible, and then use a strong disinfectant a solution of copperas is as pood a-s anything-. Then ventilate thoroughly, apply whitewash freely and ventilate again. Then go Into the cellar and compare the apartment with what it was before in the way of air and odor. Havir.3 done this, do rot wait for the annual cleaning, but keep It clean, day by day and month by month, paying especial attention to ventilation. The air in the cellar, however vitiated it may be. Inevitably finds Its way to the living rooms above, and into the lungs of the occupants, with all its load of infection and danger. Of course, thes are only a few points in connection with the great matter of house cleaning as an annual festival; but they are Important in their way, and deserving of consideration.

The river and harbor committee of congress arrived at Frankfort today at noon and wer met by the niont prominent members of the Kentucky delegation of the national house and delegated citizens and state officials. They at once proceeded on a tour of Inspection of the Kentucky river and improvements thereon with a view to acquainting themslveH with the importance of this tream as a coal and iron feeder for the Ohio valley. Should their investigation prove satisfactory they will report at the next session of congress In favor of appropriating a sufficient sum of money to finish locking and damming the river to Its three forks. In the mlOst of the immense coal and Iron deposits of eastern Kentucky. There are already six locks and darns In operation and an appropriation of about one million rive hundred thousand dollars will complete the Improvements to the desired point. The river and h irbor committee was entertained and banquetted by the city and stat officials tonight. The Kentucky delegation will make an earnest and united effort to secure the necessary appropriations at once. One of their strongest arguments will be that Kentucky had paid Into the national treasury more money for Internal revenue taxes than any other state in the union, with the exception of Illinois, and has received less recognition at the hands of the general government In the way of river and harbor appropriations than has any other state of the union, which are but Insignificant sweilers of the national funds.

Mr. Marlowe ioy told his wife that he did not love her, and that he thought he never could love her, advising her to go back to her parents. The wife's feelings can better be Imagined t.ian described. She had not the least suspicion that such was her husband's feelings toward her. The fact that she is soon to become a mother adds to the young wife's grief. Relatives have questioned and reasoned with Mr. Marlowe, but they can get no reason for his conduct more than he gave his wife. He had no fault to find with her, but said he did not want to live with her when he did not love her. Mr. Marlowe has always been a close student. He still attends his school work and has just finished writing a book he calls "Heavenward." TERRE HAUTE. Nov. 13. Special. A special dispatch to The Sentinel todaystating that Prof. W. A.

Reporters at once flocked to the high school building and Prof. Marlowe was shown the publication and requested to make a statement. He coolly read the dispatch shown him by the reporters, which said that the young wife's grief was added to by the fact that she was soon to become a mother, and, handing it back, said : "I have nothing to say." He refused positively to say anything either by way of denial or defense of the story. Prof. Marlowe and his wife lived together till last Saturday in an elegant home In this city, when Mrs. Marlowe suddenly left for her old home. Prof. Marlowe had known his wife since childhood.
