So all washing and cleaning is easy, quick and safe—if you believe what the ped.” dlers and some grocers tell you about certain washing pow- ders. Now, you can test the ease and the quickness very soon. But the safety—that is another thing. You can’t prove that to yourself without a long, and perhaps expensive and disastrous, trial. on Better stick to the first-made, never-changing, best-known washing-compound—Pearline. Almost any woman can prove to you the safety of Pearline. And nothing that can be, and has been, thus proved will do all your washing and cleaning so easily, so quickly, and so economically.

John Brisben Walker Sued for $50,000 Damages. At the instance of George W. Porteus of Chicago, De Lancy Nicoll has filed papers in New York in a suit against John Bris- ben Walker, editor and publisher of the Cosmopolitan, charging him with libel and claiming $50,000 damages for his client. Mr. Porteus is the American manager of the Beriillion system of measurement for the detection of criminals. The alleged libel arises from a series of photographs of an alleged noted criminal published in connection with an article in the “Method of Detecting Criminals,” written by A. F. B. Crofton. Mr. Porteus says he had the photographs of himself taken, six years ago, when he took up the business. The only set of them which passed out of his possession was the one hé gave his friend, Maj. W. McClaughrey, warden of the Pon- tiac penitentiary, in Illinois. Crofton, he alleges, was a convict there and obtained the pictures from Warden McClaughrey for use in his article. He al- leges that he has been greatly troubled by the aifair and says that he may at any time be taken to police headquarters in a large city for the purpose of identification as a suspicious character. oe Gould's Property Exempted. Justice Russell, in the special term of the supreme court in New York, has hand- ed down a decision which exempts from taxation the property of George J., How- ard, Edwin and Helen M. Gould in New York county, on the ground that they are non-residents. Five different proceedings were instituted against the members of the Gould family, both individually and as ex- ecutors of the late Jay Gould. In his de- cision vacating assessment made by the commissioners of taxes for the year 1894, Judge Russell sustains the contention of relators that they had removed from w York state with the intention of per- manently residing in another state at the lime the assessment was made. The residence’of George J. Gould is stated as being at Lakewood, N. J., and that of the other relators as Irvington, N. Y. eee eS cee- A Spiral Race Track. New York Special to Boston Herald.
