THE WEST. Over thirty thousand people attended the three base-ball contests in Chicago last week, between the present champions and the famous Detroit team. All three games were won by the Chicago club by the respective scores of 9 to 4, 8 to 2. and 3to 1. In the three games the Chicagos made 26 base-hits, with a total of 47; the Detroits 19 hits, with a total of 22; the Chicagos made 11 errors, the Detroits 15; the Chicago pitchers struck out 19 men, the Detroit pitchers 11. The racing record has again been broken at Chicago. Binnette made a mile and a quarter at Washington Park in 2:075.... At Portland, Oregon, Anton Dupont, a barber, poisoned his 8-year-old boy, and then took a fatal dose himself. Both were found dead in bed ... Mayor Harrison vetoed the ordinance giving the New North Chicago Street Railway Company the right to lay tracks on Illinois and LaSalle streets, to connect with the tunnel, enunciating various strong reasons therefor. A new' ordinance, embodying some practical suggestions, was presented to the Council, but action thereon was deferred for a week. Auditor Brown was acquitted by the Impeachment Court at Des Moines, lowa, two-thirds of the Senators failing to declare him guilty on any one of the thirty counts of the indictment. The votes for conviction ranged from one to fifteen on different counts. Fifteen Senators voted guilty on the articles charging Brown with refusing to give up his office when suspended by the Governor, with continuing to act as Auditor, and with approving Acting Vails charges for examination of lowa insurance companies.

Sidney Davis, colored, was lynched at Morgan, Texas, for outraging a white woman... .Austin (Texas) special: “The people of Wise County, Texas, petitioned Governor Ireland to call an extra session of the legislature to provide relief for the people in the drought-stricken sections of the State. Thousands of acres of school lands have been sold to soldiers in the drought district. The settlers have come here from Northern and Eastern States. They have made first payments on their farms id must make second payments during August or lose their land and what they have already paid. Crops are utter failures. These new settlers have not raised even enough for next year’s seeding. Many of the heads of families have just left for the East in search of work to earn enough money to make the August payment on their homes.” Atlanta (Ga.) dispatch: “About one hundred and fifty convicts employed at the Dade coal mines, owned by Senator Brown & Co., have revolted and intrenched them'selves in a building. The Gate City Guards, of Rome, have been ordered by the Governor to hold themselves in readiness to go to the mines. Penitentiary Keeper Tower has telegraphed Gov. McDaniel that he has a strong enough force of guards to quell the revolt, but that it would be necessary to kill three or four of the leaders or starve all into submission. The] Governor has ordered him to adopt the latter course. The convicts say they will all starve' to death rather than return to work.” POIATICAE. Ohio Republican editors, at a meeting in Columbus, adopted an address reviewing the election of Henry B.

Washington special to Chicago AeMvu “Congressman Milliken, of Maine, doesnot believe Mr. Blaine will return to Washington again to live until he shi/11 come as the occupant of the White House. ‘Mr. Blaine, he says, ‘will make no effort to secure a renomination. That will be tendered to him unanimously. He is the only man with whom the Republicans can succeed. any other candidate they will be

hopelessly defeated. There is no foundation whatever for the story that Mr. Blaine wiP make an effort to be returned to the Senate. The people of Maine could not force such an election upon him. I have this acutance from his own lips. Mr. Blaine will devote his leisure time between this and the next campaign to literary work. I have recently been told that by his last venture in that direction he has realized over a quarter of a million of dollars.” WASHIN<^ The Postmaster General has amended the postal laws so as to permit the transmission through the mails of non-explo-sive and non-inflammable liquids, soft soap, pastes or confections, ointments, salves, and articles of similar consistency, under certain conditions insuring safety to other mail matter in transmission. Prof. Dodge, the Statistician of the Agricultural Department at Washington, says, concerning the various estimates made from his last report on the wheat crop that, though the average condition of spring wheat on July 1, 1885, was 96, it fell to 86 at the time of harvest, which is only three points higher than the present condition, and represents a loss of less than 6,000,000 bushels as compared with the result of last year’s harvest. The damage occurred last year in the last two weeks of July and later. There is great risk of further damage during July and August, but that already reported means only a loss of 6,000,000 bushels in spring wheat and 5,000,000 in winter wheat, or a total loss of 11,000,000 in wheat during the month of June. The total values of the exports of domestic breadstuff’s is given as follows: June, 1886, $13,702,993; June, 1885, $9,024,530; six months ended June 30, 1886, $69,861,566; same period 1885, $76,751,324; twelve mouths ended June 30, 1886, $122,800,379; same period 1885, $156,451,831. __ INDUSTRIAL NOTES. There are at present 310 blast furnaces, with a capacity of 121,650 tons of pig-iron, in operation, and 335, with a capacity of 68,015 tons, out of blast. While the demand is restiicted, and stocks at the furnaces have been increasing since March, the weekly production of pig-iron is reported greater than ever before. The employes of all the blast furnaces in the Pittsburgh district have decided to demand an advance in wages of twenty per cent .... The International Bimetallist League, at a meeting held in Cincinnati, passed resolutions asking that the coinage of silver dollars be suspended until concurrent action can be taken by the great commercial nations, as the Bland law has proved a failure. Returns to the Department of Agriculture for July show the corn crop of the West in medium to high condition, the prospect growing better from Ohio to Kansas. .. .The clearing-house returns show an increase, and business through the country seems well sustained. There has been a falling off in the number of failures as compared with last year, and the record of the past six months has been the best that has been shown since 1882. Railroad earnings give evidence of the general prosperity of the country. More than half the men in the stone quarries at Lemont, 111., went on strike because some unmarried ones were asked to accept a reduction of wages. . . Three thousand tanners are on a strike at Peabody and Salem, Mass. GE^FRAL. Business failures for the week number 179, against 157 the previous week. In its weekly summary of the business outlook, Bradstreet's remarks: There is a conspicuous absence of labor troubles throughout the country, and leaning textile and metal industries are busily employed. Mercantile collections have notably improved at nearly all the distributing centers. The demand .for funds is active at New Orleans and Boston, where money has been tight and interest rates higher, and is increasing nt Philadelphia and St. Louis. The supply exceeds the demand at Chicago and Kansas City. But the visible signs of the reported improvement are found in the hardening tendency in grain, pork, lard, wool, cotton, browii and bleached cottons, and print cloths. Iron and steel are firm, and, while not higher, are not likely to go lower. In fact, there is some gain to the tone of the market. Higher prices for wheat were based largely on reported damage to the spring wheat crop by drought. Chicago operators magnified the damage, and, with others, unduly advanced quotations. Heavy reductions in stocks of wheat here and abroad and less favorable crop prospects abroad helped the advance. Corn sympathized. Oats were higher on poor crop prospects. Pork and lard have lost some of their advance on speculative sales under cover of the advance in grain. Raw cotton is cent higher on better demand and unfavorable crop reports in the South Atlantic States. Wool remains firm at previous advances, and manufacturers are buying more freely. Higher prices for new makes of brown and bleached shirtings and sheetings and for print cloths characterize the firm tone and confidence in the dry-goods trade.

The correspondent says that ‘seventy boys and girls of the neighborhood, while on their w ay to be confirmed by the Bishop ,of the district, had embarked in a small ferryboat to reach the opposite shore. The river had been swollen by heavy rains, and when the middle was reached the boat began to rock, j Several of the occupants, including (he I boatmen, jumped into the river to lighten | it and the jolt caused the craft to upset, throwing every soul into the water. About twenty-five managed to save themselves by swimming, but the remaining forty-five were drowned. London dispatches state that an agree- > [ ment has been arrived at by which Lord

A marked feature of the plague is the extreme severity of the stomach cramps, and the rapidity with which death follows the onset of the disease, the patients frequently expiring within an hour thereafter.... An Orange lodge in Coal Island, a small village in the County Tyrone, four miles from Dungannon, Ireland, was attacked by a number of men belonging to the National League. The attacking party was armed with rities and kept up a fire for two hours on the lodge, the police being powerless to interfere.

The river and harbor bill occupied the exclusive attention of the Senate on the 14th inst. The amendment proposing to appropriate 535i),090 for the purchase of the Portage Lake Camil and the Lake Superior and Iron Company Canal was agreed to —yeas, 35; nays, 21. The amendment in relation to the Calumet River was agri ed to.

Morrison's joint resolution directing payment of the surplus in the Treasury on the public < obt. Cho vote stood 209 yeas to 65 nays. In ho debate preceding the passage of the resolution Mr. Hewitt (N. V.) denied that the passage of this resolution would give employment to a single man. Instead of giving employment to 100,000 mon, 100,000 men would bo dismissed from employment on the very first duty that the public realized that the stab’ilitv of the Treasury was impaired. Mr Randall (f’aJ sa(d this was not a silver question at all. It was a question whether wo hud the money in the Treasury undisposed of, and against which there is no legitimate claim, to the extent of §50,000,000 or §70,000,000 that might bo used in liquidation of the public debt. Mr. McKinley (Ohim thought the resolution a remarkable one. It was a proposition coming Hom the party in accord with the administration to compel the President of the United States and the Secretary of the Treasury to do that which they bad always hud the power to do. He stated that in sixteen months the Democratic administration ha I called but §58,00'0,000 of Government bonds for redemption, and compared it with each sixteen months of Republican administration since 1881, which had averaged §151,000,000. My. McKinley stated that the Democratic majority in the House appeared to bo at odds with the President. The only thing upon which that party' was in positive accord was in getting the offices. Mr. Morrison And wo are getting along only middling at thut. Mr. Henderson of lowa favored the resolution because it enforced a Republi an proposition. Now that the Democratic party had determined that the pension bills should not be passed, ho was in favor of paying out the surplus on tfie public debt, Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, denied that the resolution was a condemnation of tho administration. It left the question of reserve in the statutes where it was to-day. If it was law now that §100,000,(MX) was to be reserved, jt would bo Jaw after tho passage of the resolution. Did the gentleman from New York believe that §70,000,000 extra surplus was required in the Treasury because there was a Democratic administration? THE MARKETS. NEW YORK.

Cleaning Costly Fabrics. A careless waiter or an accident at the dinner table may cause the apparent ruin of laces, silks, or velvets worth large sums of money. If the lady tries to clean them herself she makes matters worse, and makes it impossible for the professional cleaners to do anything with them afterward. These cleaners have peculiar methods in renovating these delicate fabrics, and many of them they will not reveal, as they are secrets of their trade. “The treatment of line lace,s,” said a cleaner, “is an expensive and troublesome process. A thick blanket of soft rags is sewed around a bottle, and on this the lace is pinned. It is quite impossible to rub lace, as it would tear it to pieces. The bottle is then placed in a bath of soapy warm water. After soaking for twenty minutes it is boiled for some time, and then allowed to cool. It is dipped in several baths of clear water, until all the soap seems to be removed. The lace is then removed from tho bottle, and after part of tho water is driven out by gentle pressure it is hung up to dry. “After a time it is laid on a soft cloth to dry still more. When still slightly damp it is placed on a hair cushion covered with flannel, ami is fastened there with lace pins. This is a work of skill and patience. A pin is passed through each loop, and a twist is given be l oro the pin is fastened. Sometimes ’tho loop is drawn straight, and sometimes not, tho operator seeming to follow tho original design of tho lace. When quite dry the face is sponged with a weak solution of gum arabic, ami when dry again it is almost as good as new. “The method of cleansing velvet is a secret. 11 can bo greatly freshened by steaming it over boiling water, care being taken to expose the wrong side of tho velvet to the steam; but this is use ful only where the damage is not very great. I can tell you only that the process is a dry one, and chalk is used m it. Velvet that has been wet is hard to treat, but we have been able to do wonders wjth it. “It is a very common thing for actresses to bring elaborate silk and satin costumes to bo renewed, and wo also have many fine ball dresses. We do not take them apart, but cleanse them as they are. I hey aro first dipped in a bath of naphtha, and this removes ink, champagne, and many other stains. Then they go into a bath of pure benzine, which fakes out all the grease. They are softly rubbed in these baths, and any spots remaining are treated with oxalic acid. I hey are rinsed out in warm water and dried over steam coils. To iron them would harden tho silk and make it shiny, so it is run over steam rolls or ironed between flannels. We have ironers whose business it is to iron dresses, and when they have finished a d^ess it looks new. Mildew is removed by oxalic acid.” Barnum ami Pig’s Feet. Tho late Harrison Pho bus was an epicure about everything else. The creator of a new dish was to him a greater man than he who won many battles. Among the guests at his hotel, at old Point Comfort, a few years I ago, was the veteran showman, P. T. Barnum. He, too, loves tho good things of this life. One afternoon tho two were sitting together on the hotel veranda. Barnum was spinning one of the yarns for which he is fanions. He broke off suddenly in tho middle of his story with tho remark: “Say, I‘hubus, why don’t you over serve pigs’ feet for breakfast?” “Because they’re not fit to eat,” laconically replied Mr. Pho bus. "They’re not, eh? I’ll euro you of that belief. Got a cook you can trust?” “Several of them,” responded tho astonished Phobus. “Send tho best one up to me,” said Barnum. The cook came. “Now,” said Mr. • Bariaum to tho astonished chief, “get . some pigs’ feet —fat ones; wash them clean—very clean; then wrap each one i separately in a piece of clean muslin 1 that hasn’t got any starch in it. Then ’ boil ’em. Boil ’em hard and boil ’em long; not less than seven hours. Do you understand—seven hours? Thon J take them out and put them in a cool ■ place. When they’re cool unwrap ’em i and split’em. Understand? Split’em i right in the center. Next day boil ’em b and serve ’em hot—the hotter tho betj ter, but for heaven’s sake don’t 1 fry ’em. ” The cook followed instructions, and , the next day Mr. Pho bus took break--1 fast with Mr. and Mrs. Barnum and ’ the friend who tells the story. Mr. c Phmbus ate of them, and ate heartily. ■ They just touched his taste, and “sup--1 plied a long-felt want.” When the > pigs' feet had disappeared, Mr. Pho bus’ f comment was, “Say, Barnum, that’s - food for a king. ” 3 4 And that is how it came about that a the visitor to tho various first-class a hotels finds on the breakfast bill of [ faro sot before him, “Pigs’ feet boiled 1 ala Barnum.” Mr. Pho bus had introduced the dish to his brother caterers in various parts of tho world.— Hartford Post. Trying to Fit a Round Peg in a Square Hole. Another great mistake of parents is made a little further on, when the education tho child is to receive and the work he is to do in life begin to be considered. Most parents have preconceived ideas of what their children shall do in the world, and it is sometimes very hard to modify or change them in accordance with tho child’s natural > tastes. They are like tho parents of a boy with whom I had acquaintance, 2 who had determined, I think even bei fore the boy’s birth, that he must be a lawyer. The boy proved to have no taste whatever for tho law or for a student’s life, but seemed possessed of real mechanical genius. From a child ho could do anything with tools requiring delicate manipulation, was always contriving and inventing now - machines to work with—in short, was a decided genius of the inventive order, but he was laboriously drilled in Latin, wopt unavailing tears over it, was sent to college at great sacrifice on tho part of his friends, graduated, was made to study law, did study it and was ad- * mitted to practice, ami tried his best to do what he was unfitted for. Having now conio to man’s estate, ho took the matter into his own hands, turned his law office into a machine shop, and began successfully the work he should 2 have been encouraged to undertake in tho first place. — Hallie Tyng Griswold. A Dutiful Daughter. The pretty maiden fell overboard, and her lover leaned over tho side of tho boat as sho rose to tho surface, and said: „ “Give me your hand. “Please ask papa,” she said, as sho I sank for tho second time.— Boston 1 Courier.

For kicking against the umpire’s decisions, when he is known to be right, two shoes from a mule; this is an emblematic trophy. The management, in offering tho above prizes, does it for tho purpose of encouraging the players to put forth their best endeavors, as by so doing tho games will be more entertaining; and with, the hope that dividends will bo larger than they otherwise would be.— Boston liecord. Restful Nights, Days Free from Torture, Await the rheumatic sufferer who- resorts to Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. That this bouignant cordial and depurent is a far more reliable remedy than colchicum and other poisons used to expel tho rheumatic virus from the blood, is a fact that experience has satisfactorily demonstrated. It also enjoys the advantage of being—unlike them perfectly safe. With many persons a certain predisposition to rheumatism exists, which renders them liable to its attacks after exposure, in wet weather, to currents of air, changes of temperature, or to cold when tho body is hot. Such persons should take a wineglass or two of tho Bitters as soon as possible after incurring risk from tho above causes, as this superb protective effectually nullities the hurtful influence. For tho functional derangements which accompany rhaumnti. m, such as colic, spasms in the stomach, palpitation of the heart, imperfect digestion, etc , tho Bitters is also a most useful remedy. It is only necessary in Obstinate cases to uso it with persistency. A Dangerous Game. The Buffalo Courier tells an interesting draw-poker story, and insists that it is true. The game was played in a Buffalo hotel by seven men. One of the players had won S2OO and was about to jump the game when he picked up a hand of four kings and an ace. It was invincible because they were not playing straight Hushes. All came in, one of them raising the ante $lO. Mr. Four Kings just chipped along, not wishing to keep anybody out. Tho others staid and all drew cards, the man with the kings throwing away his ace and drawing one card rather than spoil his chances of getting bets by standing pat. The man who had made the $lO raise took two cards. Then the betting began. All were driven out except the man who had drawn two cards. They whacked back and forth at one another until at length, having exhausted all his ehjps and gone shy for many dollars, the man with the kings felt that he had won all he wanted to, and called. To his horror his opponent laid down four aces. The beaten man howled and claimed fraud, for how could the other man have four aces when he himself had one before the draw? The explanation was simple. There being seven players there were not cards enough to go around after the first deal, and so the discards were shuffled up and dealt for the draw. In the draw the man who took two cards and was drawing to three aces, got the ace that the man with four kings had discarded, and was thus able to beat him out of his boots.

But it does cure any disease for which a reputable physician would prescribe IKON Physicians recognize Iron as the best restorative agent known to the profession, und inquiry of any leading chemical firm will substantiate the assertion that there are more preparations of iron than of any other substance used in medicine. This shows conclusively that iron is acknowledged to be the most important factor in successful medical practice.
