have been addressed to President McKintey and the Secretary of War In favor of the retention of Captain Beach a Engineer CorAmissioner of the Dis- trict constitute a high compliment to that industrious accomplished and courteous officer but they are labor wasted It is a fact that the people of tide community have seldom been privileged to transact business with a local department head a patient painstaking or accommodating as Captain Beach and what is true of him in this respect Is also true of his entire office force But he has incurred the enmity of one of the combinations which among them own the Adminis- tration and he has as much chance to remain in present position after November 1 when the order relieving him will go into effect as the sheep in the shambles has to kill the butcher The title of Captain Beach was sealed When the Asphalt Trust failed to get the award of thi years paving con tract and it went to the WarnerQuin lan syndicate of Syracuse New York No doubt it a surprise to him to learn that in the Capital of the Nation public officers cannot apply the rule of the lowest responsible bid der in connection with contracts sought by any of Ute Administrations favored trusts without incurring displeasure and removal The asphalt episode should be a warning to his successors for a time while the country shall re main under the control of the trusts The Conference The battleship Iowa has left San Francisco for Panama the Machtas is plowing the briny toward Colon and Secretary Hay has gone to Canton to confer with President McKinley con cerning our isthmian and South Ameri- can policy and the question of inter- vention The situation approaches a crisis and the attorney of the Asphalt Trust has hurried home from a visit to Caracas to be on hand when it shall arrive In an interview published in a New York paper this morning the attorney In question Is reported as asserting that President Castro is determined to bring on war with Colombia A the recent inva 4ofl of ACHesuels was effected by Colombian regular troops commanded by General Valencia late Colombian Minister of War it would rather seem that President Castro had but little choice in the matter It is natural for people connected with the trust to make him appear at fault If they can Fince is the lion of constitution and law that stands in the path of the trust monopoly in South America Judging from the past we fancy that Mr McKinley will strongly advocate- an opportunist policy and allow events to drift a while before permitting the Administration to itself to an overt act of Interven- tion between Colombia and Venezuela Should the tide continue to run in favor of President Castro the moment might speedily come when action which would strengthen the hands of his enemies might appear timely But it is possi- ble that Marroquin and Andrade plot to overturn present liberal Government at Caracas and erect a dictatorship in its place friendly to the Asphalt Trust with some outside aid might meet with success In such an event It te apparent that no cause for Intervention would exist Whatever policy may be agreed upon at Canton It may be taken for granted that it will not be one complacent to the liberal movement in Colombia and Venezuela Letter As the correspondence now stands between Attorney General Knox and th oMcers of the AntiTrust League the former to have the better of the discussion The officers of the League appear to have taken too much for granted and assumed u tone which the Attorney General might fairly oSTensive The communication addressed to him proceeded upon the theory that he having been one of the attorneys for Carnegie Company knew all about the Steel Trust its for- mation and agreements Had the At- torney General conceded this to be true whHe he might perhaps have logi- cally taken the position that he under no obligations to enlighten the AntiTrust League as to those matters he might also have convicted himself of laches in not having taken action on behalf of the Government What- ever Ida personal knowledge may be be te far too shrewd a man to place blmseif in such a position and the character of the letter to him enabled hint with tome show of justification to make a somewhat cutting response It te not likely that the officers of the AntiTrust League expected to get much information from the Attorney Geaeral who had formerly been a trust lawyer It Sc perfectly understood that the Administration i controlled abso lutely by the trusts There was noth ing surprising In the selection of a trust lawyer for olftce of Attorney General except the boldness and with which it was done Attorney General Griggs position with reference- to the trusts was well understood and nobody supposed that hi retirement and the selection of Mr Knox meant any change of the Administrations policy toward these monopolistic com- binations and when the otticers of the AntiTrust League addressed the At- torney General they should have known that he would be unlikely to do any- thing to aid them in the work of curb- Ing the trusts There was of course nothing ATOII In officers of the

that of the Atl mints tratton of which he is part their letter to hint was not discreet In its tone Nor was it either wise or cour teous for theta to make the letter an open one It looked as if the thing were being done for effect It would have been soon enough to make the correspondence public after the law ollloer cf the Government had to render any assistance which he was morally certain to do But after all the Attorney Generals letter will hardly satisfactory to those of the people at large who really believe that the trust evil should be made the subject of governmental ac tkn It rather assumes that the trust question te not one In which the Gov eminent is In any way concerned that it purely a matter for private Htlga tion and there te not a line or a word to suggest that the writer ever intends to do anything whatever In the prem tees The Attorney General contents himself with replying literally to the specific requests denying all personal knowledge of the affairs of the trusts sharply rebuking the AntiTrust League oflicers for the tone of their letter and intimating rather broadly that interference with the trusts is out of the line of his official duties He ought to have taken higher ground but lie did not The Tonp at SnutiiiKo The man at the wheel of the Brook- lyn when the famous loop was mastic during the sea battle oft Santiago is becoming a dark mystery A sailor named Adams has published a state- ment in which he declares that he was liandling the spokes at the time and in his nervousness turned the ship con- trariwise to the order given him by the navigating officer Were his story true he would remind us of one of the mili- tary heroes of the civil war whose soul was full of fight and still Is but when the bullets began to fly his legs inva- riably retrograded and refused to hold- up until they had landed him at Bar nums Hotel in Baltimore We fear that the Adams narrative wilt not be incorporated In our naval history except possibly by Dock La borer Maclay According to the report of Captain Cook commanding the Brooklyn the man at the wheel was N Anderson quartermaster lirst class and a particularly bright sea- man There is still another claimant for the honor in the person of one Den- nis J OConnell who according to one of his shipmates was the undoubted and only genuine looper Where there Is so much confusion how shall we arrive at the rockbottom truth We suggest that the whole mat- ter be left to Sampson to decide He was twelve or more miles away be hind the horizon at the tine and therefore ought to know The LonlNlnna STiffrnjje The decision In the case instituted at New Orleans to teat the constitution- ality of the new suffrage law may cor- rectly foreshadow the principle to be laid down by the Supreme Court if these State acts are ever passed upon by that tribunal In the Lou isiana case the constitutionality of the provisions seems not to have been di- rectly passed upon It was not for the petitioner virtually argued him self out of his ease He sought a writ of mandate to compel the supervisor to place his name on the voting list at the same time claiming that the law was unconstitutional The judge held that if the law was unconstitutional the supervisor had no authority to regis- ter the petitioner for that was the only which empowered him to act As the petitioner did not himself within the provisions upon which the supervisor must act if he acted at all the registration could not be ordered the court But in the course of reasoning the court intimated rather strongly that the socalled grandfather clause might be held unconstitutional and the remainder of the law be allowed to stand This is a most important point and it may be sound The rule is that the unconstitutional features of a law wilt be singled out and declared invalid without affecting the rest of the law if the connection i not so close as to make a separation impossible That i- to say if the parts are so interwoven a to make it appear that one part would not have been enacted without the other or others then all must stand or fall together but if the un- constitutional provision can be elimi- nated and still leave a law complete in itself which presumably would have been enacted anyway then the segre- gation will be made This rule makes the question raised by the grandfather clause a close one we have a general disfran illiterates This manifests a purpose to deny the ballot to those who are too ignorant to cast it intelli But there are exceptions which are those whose ancestors were Now comes the query disqualification have been adopted without the ThIs question may be erence to the primary object in view What it To be entirely candid it was to deprive the great mass of il- literate negroes of the ballot thus guarding against the political ascen dency of that class But as a subordi- nate proposition it was desired to dis- franchise Just as few whites as ble and hence the exceptions which chiefly affect that class Such being the case the Supreme Court might hold that the subordinate provision couki be invalidated and the primary one stand But it is by no means certain that such will be the decision and the un- certainty increased by the circum- stance that there are so many differ ent kinds of exceptions in the various laws For that reason the exceptions the grandfather clause in particular are altogether unwise for they may Jeopardise what would without the exceptions be good laws and clearly constitutional Royal Cooks A to the London Dt ly there was a strike in the kitchen of King Alfonso of not long ago and that the skill of the young sisters was alt that saved the family from having to fall bark upon tinned things and preserves went into the kitchen and supper This sounds rather apocryphal hut it to certainly true that many damsel and matrons of royal birth know more cooking and other forms of hold labor than the American

¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ ¬ Queen Alexandra who was one of the daughters of a somewhat impecunious royal was taught to make her own her own bonnets and do all sort of housework when a girl and she has very sensibly brought up her own in much the same way It that Queen Chris- tina who comes from the thirfty land of Austria has likewise hail her daugh- ters instructed in the arts of house- wifery Whether they actually did cook the supper on this occasion or not it is probable that they could have done so if there had been any need Then is no more nonsensical idea than that which is current among some shamswell people a girl of birth mind education too good to know anything about manual working If she is a superior young woman she certainly will know how to work with her hands and do it In a manner which will prove her superiority There is a great difference between ordinary household work performed with the dainty precision and deftness of an ar- tist and the same work clumsily by a badly trained servant It is a mistake to suppose that be- cause some women have acquired great skill and perfection in the art of cookery by lifelong practice it takes lifelong training to be a good cook As generations of American women have a woman can attain that emi have time to all a lady needs to know In the girl can learn enough to serve alt the purposes of an ordinary family In less time than it would take her to learn French Ger- man or music in the superficial way in which they are usually taught and when domestic crisis by rea- son of the cooks or there is illness in the house and an invalid needs daintily prepared food it is worth considerably more to know what to do and how to do it than to be able to read German or make lace It would be well for any girl who has even the talent for cooking to spend enough to learn the art and let one accomplishment go There is here and there a woman who cannot possibly be taught to cook but such a woman usually has some talent which makes it necessary to abrogate- all rules in favor of its development- A Rosa Bonheur or a George Eliot can afford to do without the domestic graces though seme extraordinarily talented women have been good house- keepers as well At a meeting of the International Law Association now in progress in Glasgow Scotland on yesterday Judge Lynde Har- rison of Connecticut made the amazing statement that the American people are now in favor of the terms of the Hay Pauncefote Treaty and expressed conS would ratify a new convention constructed- on the lines of the one before rej ted Such speech is pernicious and calculated- to mislead those to whom it te addressed The Connecticut judge whose seine now appears in the press for the flrat tme probably outside his village or county paper ta without

Hoiman died suddenly in Salt Lake bark in the seventies the secret of the famous Yankee Boaaaan gold mine died with him lost miMe which i presumably possessed of fabu- lous riches te situated in the Wasatch range of mountains skirting the eastern side of the XTintah Indian Reservation and a systematic search will be made for it a soon as the reservation shall have finally been thrown open for settlement What its discovery would mesa to the lucky miner who sturaMc upon it secret a matter of speculation but there i little doubt that It te by far the richest gold mine within the borders of the State anti the only one in which nug- gets have been found in abundance a result of the latter fact the theory has been advanced that the Yankee Is not a mine in the generally accept- ed but merely a cave in which an immense amount of gold nuggets been stored Yank e Helman the one time posses- sor of the secret said to have made the Jtacovery by chance and in the months that he lived thereafter refused all offers to share the secret with It te also said that Brigham Young the great Mor man leader labored with Hoiman along these Yankee Hoiman a peculiar mass Of taciturn disposition but a devout Mor- mon he lived the life of a recluse and un- til hte discovery of the bonanza very poor Then came a sudden and percept Me change in his fortunes His tithing which had previously been paid in manual labor wa passed over the counter of the tithing house in gold nufcnuts and while he wa much disinclined to discuss the find he dropped frequent to the ef- fect that there were others where those earns from The of Hoiman1 sudden acquisi- tion of wealth naturally spread with ra- pidity and men with means a well as those rich in promises made numerous at tempts to wrest his secret from him The efforts however were fruitless and the negotiations never beyond the in- cipient stage Hoiman told aH comers flatly that the secret was net for sale and that settled it On one occasion three mounted men waylaid Hoiman a he was on the way to his mine and assured him they would kill him if he did not share se- cret with them He finally agreed to then to the spot a close watch was kept upon him and captors threatened repeatedly that any attempt upon his part to escape would result in his death The highwaymen were in high glee and in a part of the country where there were no settlers they had contidcnee in their ability to force Hoimans valuable secret from him As the party entered a canyon in the locality where the mine is supposed to be situated however Hol mans features underwent a sudden and perceptible change much to the surprise of his captors one of whom at least scented danger and suggested that the party cairp there for the night before proceeding to the mine The others laugh- ed at his fears and the party pushed on ward A half mile further down the can yon and without the slightest warning Indians opened fire on captors from behind the rocks and two of the miwH r fli from their saddles dead The third man was mortally wounded and dl u IVH minutes Hoiman was nu hurt and it wa learned subsequently that he had purchased the friendship of the Indtea by making them various pres- ent Within a month of this died and alone Beneath the hearthstone of his humble home was found a quart can almost tilled with nug gets and among his papers dtcov ered a partial map of the region which held hits secret The situation of the mine however was not marked and owing to the unfriendly attitude of the Indians to the whites at that time little search made for

York turnpike from Baltimore to the Pennsyl- vania line offered a a gift to public highway The tender made to the county commissioners by Col M W Offutt who said he had been instructed by the directors of the road to offer H to th county It is owned by the United Rail way and Electric Company which Mr Offutt wished only to reserve a right of way for an electric line which he said the company might wish to construct to Coek yvile or farther The company he- M desired both the Belair and Harford turnpikes but there might be a question at tills time a to their authority to do this The com- pany however by an act of UK was given authority to sell the York road and the company could sell it for 1 cent if it so desired Mr Knox of the board said that if the county took one k should take alt the roads but Colonel Taylor suggested that it might take all it could get now and take the others later Mr Kox thought that this could be done but explained that some people ob- jected Oh said Mr Offutt there would be some opposition if you were going to hang meNot much remarked a bystander This rejoinder created a hearty laugh in which Colonel Offutt Joined Mr Knox said that if the turnpikes were made free public thoroughfares the time they were for there would be nothing left for the other roads The matter he said would require some tegte- thorlze the Itvying of a road fund If all the turnpikes were made free roads Mr Offutt said that the of the Fourth Fifth Sixth Seventh Eighth Ninth and Tenth districts and a portion of the Eleventh district the York road as the main road to the city Mr Knox said he heartily favored the proposition to take all the toll roads in- cluding the Hookstown and Frederick reads To this Mr Offutt said the com- pany he represented had nothing to do with the two lastnamed roads hut if the matter were started he felt sure alt would get under way Finally on motion of Mr Knox the matter referred to Walter R Town- send who will give the boArd an opinion- as to the right of the York road dIrectors to convey the road to thee county and the authority of the county commissioners to accept The same opinion it was stated would hold good as to the

had recently held hi Maine to e prospects of Shipping Sub sidy Mil i generally discredited here tt Is known that a somewhat formal con- ference some tiMe in fall i contain plated It Is felt by Republicans re- gardless of their views on this question that an agreement should be reached owe of Congress before submitting any sub My Mil a a party measure over- whelming Republican majorittee of both Senate and House It goes without saying that MM which secures party trademark can Congress That Met enforces the shy of caution and nose knows this better party They have no desire to demon- strate to the country what they can do with the excellent party discipline that now prevails in direction of subsidy legislation They prefer Instead to devise a measure which wilt be so generally la Republican circles a to any break in the ranks either in Congress or at the That will be the purpose of what Republican majoritie able to pass but to decide what it would be wise and prudent to peas On this point there 1 a wide difference of opinion A group of Western Senators whose views are entitled to great weight had made up their minds before adjourned that no subsidy bill like which then failed to reach action should again become a part of their party policy They were willing to do something for the merchant marine in eaten nina of the malt contracts or In the au thorization of special subsidies for the es tablishment of new lines for South can and other which private flees would not Justify But a general subsidy bill of the Grosvenor variety they did not believe would be expedient The reconciliation of the interests of the East and the West will be no slight task Each side will claim the support of President McKInley although he heretofore declined to take part in the controversy It and prO with good reason that the American public i much less afraid of subsidies or public aid to private enterprise than it used to be There wa a time for ex- ample when it would have been neces- sary to do something more in providing a Federal subsidy for a few American fruit exporters than to have designated it a pomological the brand stamped on the latest undertaking of the

The numerous requests and petitionsthat have been addressed to PresidentMcKintey and the Secretary of War Infavor of the retention of Captain Beacha Engineer CorAmissioner of the Dis-trict constitute a high compliment tothat industrious accomplished andcourteous officer but they are laborwasted It is a fact that the peopleof tide community have seldom beenprivileged to transact business with alocal department head a patientpainstaking or accommodating asCaptain Beach and what is true ofhim in this respect Is also true of hisentire office force But he has incurredthe enmity of one of the combinationswhich among them own the Adminis-tration and he has as much chance toremain in present position afterNovember 1 when the order relievinghim will go into effect as the sheep inthe shambles has to kill the butcher

The title of Captain Beach was sealedWhen the Asphalt Trust failed to getthe award of thi years paving contract and it went to the WarnerQuinlan syndicate of Syracuse New YorkNo doubt it a surprise tohim to learn that in the Capital ofthe Nation public officers cannot applythe rule of the lowest responsible bidder in connection with contracts soughtby any of Ute Administrations favoredtrusts without incurring displeasureand removal The asphalt episodeshould be a warning to his successorsfor a time while the country shall remain under the control of the trusts

The ConferenceThe battleship Iowa has left San

Francisco for Panama the Machtas isplowing the briny toward Colon andSecretary Hay has gone to Canton toconfer with President McKinley concerning our isthmian and South Ameri-can policy and the question of inter-vention The situation approaches acrisis and the attorney of the AsphaltTrust has hurried home from a visitto Caracas to be on hand when it shallarrive

In an interview published in a NewYork paper this morning the attorneyIn question Is reported as asserting thatPresident Castro is determined to bringon war with Colombia A the recentinva 4ofl of ACHesuels was effected byColombian regular troops commandedby General Valencia late ColombianMinister of War it would rather seemthat President Castro had but littlechoice in the matter It is natural forpeople connected with the trust tomake him appear at fault If they canFince is the lion of constitution andlaw that stands in the path of the trustmonopoly in South America

Judging from the past we fancy thatMr McKinley will strongly advocate-an opportunist policy and allowevents to drift a while beforepermitting the Administration to

itself to an overt act of Interven-tion between Colombia and VenezuelaShould the tide continue to run in favorof President Castro the moment mightspeedily come when action which wouldstrengthen the hands of his enemiesmight appear timely But it is possi-ble that Marroquin and Andradeplot to overturn present liberalGovernment at Caracas and erect adictatorship in its place friendly to theAsphalt Trust with some outside aidmight meet with success In such anevent It te apparent that no cause forIntervention would exist Whateverpolicy may be agreed upon at CantonIt may be taken for granted that it willnot be one complacent to the liberalmovement in Colombia and Venezuela

LetterAs the correspondence now stands

between Attorney General Knox andth oMcers of the AntiTrust Leaguethe former to have the better ofthe discussion The officers of theLeague appear to have taken too muchfor granted and assumed u tone whichthe Attorney General might fairly

oSTensive The communicationaddressed to him proceeded upon thetheory that he having been one of theattorneys for Carnegie Companyknew all about the Steel Trust its for-mation and agreements Had the At-torney General conceded this to be truewhHe he might perhaps have logi-cally taken the position that heunder no obligations to enlighten theAntiTrust League as to those mattershe might also have convicted himselfof laches in not having taken actionon behalf of the Government What-ever Ida personal knowledge may bebe te far too shrewd a man to placeblmseif in such a position and thecharacter of the letter to him enabledhint with tome show of justification tomake a somewhat cutting response

It te not likely that the officers of theAntiTrust League expected to getmuch information from the AttorneyGeaeral who had formerly been a trustlawyer It Sc perfectly understood thatthe Administration i controlled absolutely by the trusts There was nothing surprising In the selection of atrust lawyer for olftce of AttorneyGeneral except the boldness and

with which it was done AttorneyGeneral Griggs position with reference-to the trusts was well understood andnobody supposed that hi retirementand the selection of Mr Knox meantany change of the Administrationspolicy toward these monopolistic com-binations and when the otticers of theAntiTrust League addressed the At-torney General they should have knownthat he would be unlikely to do any-thing to aid them in the work of curb-Ing the trusts

There was of course nothing ATOII

to him for iHforin tlo but Knowinglug attitude and that of the Atl mintstratton of which he is part theirletter to hint was not discreet In itstone Nor was it either wise or courteous for theta to make the letter anopen one It looked as if the thingwere being done for effect It wouldhave been soon enough to make thecorrespondence public after the lawollloer cf the Government hadto render any assistance which hewas morally certain to do

But after all the Attorney Generalsletter will hardly satisfactory tothose of the people at large who reallybelieve that the trust evil should bemade the subject of governmental actkn It rather assumes that the trustquestion te not one In which the Goveminent is In any way concerned thatit purely a matter for private Htlgation and there te not a line or a wordto suggest that the writer ever intendsto do anything whatever In the premtees The Attorney General contentshimself with replying literally to thespecific requests denying all personalknowledge of the affairs of the trustssharply rebuking the AntiTrustLeague oflicers for the tone of theirletter and intimating rather broadlythat interference with the trusts is outof the line of his official duties Heought to have taken higher ground butlie did not

The Tonp at SnutiiiKoThe man at the wheel of the Brook-

lyn when the famous loop was masticduring the sea battle oft Santiago isbecoming a dark mystery A sailornamed Adams has published a state-ment in which he declares that he wasliandling the spokes at the time andin his nervousness turned the ship con-

trariwise to the order given him by thenavigating officer Were his story truehe would remind us of one of the mili-

tary heroes of the civil war whose soulwas full of fight and still Is but whenthe bullets began to fly his legs inva-riably retrograded and refused to hold-up until they had landed him at Barnums Hotel in Baltimore

We fear that the Adams narrativewilt not be incorporated In our navalhistory except possibly by Dock Laborer Maclay According to the reportof Captain Cook commanding theBrooklyn the man at the wheel was

N Anderson quartermaster lirstclass and a particularly bright sea-man There is still another claimantfor the honor in the person of one Den-nis J OConnell who according to oneof his shipmates was the undoubtedand only genuine looper

Where there Is so much confusionhow shall we arrive at the rockbottomtruth We suggest that the whole mat-ter be left to Sampson to decide Hewas twelve or more miles away behind the horizon at the tine andtherefore ought to know

The LonlNlnna STiffrnjje

The decision In the case instituted atNew Orleans to teat the constitution-ality of the new suffrage law may cor-rectly foreshadow the principle to belaid down by the Supreme Court ifthese State acts are ever passedupon by that tribunal In the Louisiana case the constitutionality of theprovisions seems not to have been di-

rectly passed upon It was not

for the petitioner virtually argued himself out of his ease He sought a writof mandate to compel the supervisor toplace his name on the voting list at thesame time claiming that the law wasunconstitutional The judge held thatif the law was unconstitutional thesupervisor had no authority to regis-ter the petitioner for that was the only

which empowered him to act Asthe petitioner did not himselfwithin the provisions upon which thesupervisor must act if he acted at allthe registration could not be ordered

the courtBut in the course of reasoning

the court intimated rather stronglythat the socalled grandfather clausemight be held unconstitutional and theremainder of the law be allowed tostand This is a most important pointand it may be sound The rule is thatthe unconstitutional features of a lawwilt be singled out and declared invalidwithout affecting the rest of the lawif the connection i not so close as tomake a separation impossible That i-

to say if the parts are so interwovena to make it appear that one partwould not have been enacted withoutthe other or others then all muststand or fall together but if the un-constitutional provision can be elimi-nated and still leave a law complete initself which presumably would havebeen enacted anyway then the segre-gation will be made

This rule makes the question raisedby the grandfather clause a closeone we have a general disfran

illiterates This manifestsa purpose to deny the ballot to thosewho are too ignorant to cast it intelli

But there are exceptionswhich are those whose ancestors

were Now comes the querydisqualification have

been adopted without theThIs question may beerence to the primary object in viewWhat it To be entirely candidit was to deprive the great mass of il-

literate negroes of the ballot thusguarding against the political ascendency of that class But as a subordi-nate proposition it was desired to dis-franchise Just as few whites asble and hence the exceptions whichchiefly affect that class Such beingthe case the Supreme Court mighthold that the subordinate provisioncouki be invalidated and the primaryone stand

But it is by no means certain thatsuch will be the decision and the un-certainty increased by the circum-stance that there are so many different kinds of exceptions in the variouslaws For that reason the exceptions

the grandfather clause in particularare altogether unwise for they may

Jeopardise what would without theexceptions be good laws and clearlyconstitutional

Royal CooksA to the London Dt

Queen Alexandra who was one of thedaughters of a somewhat impecuniousroyal was taught to make herown her own bonnets anddo all sort of housework when a girland she has very sensibly brought upher own in much the sameway It that Queen Chris-tina who comes from the thirfty landof Austria has likewise hail her daugh-ters instructed in the arts of house-wifery Whether they actually didcook the supper on this occasion or notit is probable that they could have doneso if there had been any need

Then is no more nonsensical ideathan that which is current among someshamswell people a girl of birthmind education too good toknow anything about manual workingIf she is a superior young woman shecertainly will know how to work withher hands and do it In a manner whichwill prove her superiority There is agreat difference between ordinaryhousehold work performed with thedainty precision and deftness of an ar-

tist and the same work clumsilyby a badly trained servant

It is a mistake to suppose that be-

cause some women have acquiredgreat skill and perfection in the art ofcookery by lifelong practice it takeslifelong training to be a good cook Asgenerations of American women have

a woman can attain that emihave time to all

absolute purity of the product Nothingi so cheap in Spain KS the deliciousgrapes from which the brandy in distilledand the introduction of an foreign tomMMind such as alcohol ofinfinitely more expensive than the exclu-sive use of the snares themselves Theprocess of distillation is precisely thesame as that used In the manufacture ofthe French cognac The result a abovestated is a cheaper yet absolutely pureproduct which Is listing an exttnuivemarket not only in continental Europebut in nKland and Canada

The baste of the Malaga cognac differsvery slightly from that of the French production and is quite as agreeable

HOPE TO RECOVER A MINE

Mystery nf the Yankee BonanzaLost Twenty Years Ago

SALT LAKE CITY Utah Aug 2LWhen Yankee Hoiman died suddenlyin Salt Lake bark in the seventies thesecret of the famous Yankee Boaaaangold mine died with him lost miMewhich i presumably possessed of fabu-lous riches te situated in the Wasatchrange of mountains skirting the easternside of the XTintah Indian Reservationand a systematic search will be made forit a soon as the reservation shall havefinally been thrown open for settlement

What its discovery would mesa to thelucky miner who sturaMc upon it secret

a matter of speculation butthere i little doubt that It te by far therichest gold mine within the borders ofthe State anti the only one in which nug-gets have been found in abundance aresult of the latter fact the theory hasbeen advanced that the Yankee

Is not a mine in the generally accept-ed but merely a cave in which animmense amount of gold nuggets beenstored

Yank e Helman the one time posses-sor of the secret said to have made theJtacovery by chance and in the monthsthat he lived thereafter refused all offersto share the secret with It te alsosaid that Brigham Young the great Morman leader labored with Hoiman alongthese

Yankee Hoiman a peculiar massOf taciturn disposition but a devout Mor-mon he lived the life of a recluse and un-til hte discovery of the bonanza verypoor Then came a sudden and perceptMe change in his fortunes His tithingwhich had previously been paid in manuallabor wa passed over the counter of thetithing house in gold nufcnuts and whilehe wa much disinclined to discuss thefind he dropped frequent to the ef-

fect that there were others where thoseearns from

The of Hoiman1 sudden acquisi-tion of wealth naturally spread with ra-pidity and men with means a well asthose rich in promises made numerous attempts to wrest his secret from him Theefforts however were fruitless and thenegotiations never beyond the in-cipient stage Hoiman told aH comersflatly that the secret was net for sale andthat settled it

On one occasion three mounted menwaylaid Hoiman a he was on the way tohis mine and assured him theywould kill him if he did not share se-cret with them He finally agreed to

then to the spot a close watch waskept upon him and captors threatenedrepeatedly that any attempt upon hispart to escape would result in his deathThe highwaymen were in high glee and

in a part of the country where therewere no settlers they had contidcnee intheir ability to force Hoimans valuablesecret from him As the party entered acanyon in the locality where the mine issupposed to be situated however Holmans features underwent a sudden andperceptible change much to the surpriseof his captors one of whom at leastscented danger and suggested that theparty cairp there for the night beforeproceeding to the mine The others laugh-ed at his fears and the party pushed onward A half mile further down the canyon and without the slightest warningIndians opened fire on captorsfrom behind the rocks and two of themiwH r fli from their saddles dead Thethird man was mortally wounded and dl u

IVH minutes Hoiman was nuhurt and it wa learned subsequentlythat he had purchased the friendship ofthe Indtea by making them various pres-ent

Within a month of thisdied and alone Beneath thehearthstone of his humble home wasfound a quart can almost tilled with nuggets and among his papers dtcovered a partial map of the region whichheld hits secret The situation of the minehowever was not marked and owing tothe unfriendly attitude of the Indians tothe whites at that time little searchmade for It Since then the Governmentsupported the Indians in their determination keep white men out of thecountry and for years no attempts so faras have been to discover thesecret

A ROAD OFFERED AS A GIFTThe York Turnpike Tendered to Hn-

ltlinore CountyBALTIMORE Md Aug SLThe York

turnpike from Baltimore to the Pennsyl-vania line offered a a gift to

public highway The tender made tothe county commissioners by Col M WOffutt who said he had been instructed bythe directors of the road to offer H to thcounty It is owned by the United Railway and Electric Company which MrOffutt wished only to reserve a rightof way for an electric line which he saidthe company might wish to construct toCoek yvile or farther The company he-

M desiredboth the Belair and Harford turnpikesbut there might be a question at tills timea to their authority to do this The com-pany however by an act of UK wasgiven authority to sell the York road andthe company could sell it for 1 cent if itso desired

Mr Knox of the board said that if thecounty took one k should take alt theroads but Colonel Taylor suggested thatit might take all it could get now and takethe others later

Mr Kox thought that this could bedone but explained that some people ob-jected

Oh said Mr Offutt there would besome opposition if you were going to hangmeNot much remarked a bystander

This rejoinder created a hearty laughin which Colonel Offutt Joined

Mr Knox said that if the turnpikeswere made free public thoroughfaresthe time they were for there wouldbe nothing left for the other roads Thematter he said would require some tegte-

thorlze the Itvying of a road fundIf all the turnpikes were made free roads

Mr Offutt said that the of theFourth Fifth Sixth Seventh EighthNinth and Tenth districts and a portionof the Eleventh district the Yorkroad as the main road to the city

Mr Knox said he heartily favored theproposition to take all the toll roads in-cluding the Hookstown and Frederickreads To this Mr Offutt said the com-pany he represented had nothing to dowith the two lastnamed roads hut if thematter were started he felt sure alt wouldget under way

Finally on motion of Mr Knox thematter referred to Walter R Town-send who will give the boArd an opinion-as to the right of the York road dIrectorsto convey the road to thee county and theauthority of the county commissioners toaccept The same opinion it was statedwould hold good as to the other toll roads

SUBSIDY BILL PROSPEGTS-

BiTorti by the Republicans to Reachnu Airreenient

NEW YORK Aug 2LTH r

Although the report that a conferencehad recently held hi Maine to

whelming Republican majorittee of bothSenate and House

It goes without saying that MM

which secures party trademark can

Congress That Met enforces theshy of caution and nose knows this better

party They have no desire to demon-strate to the country what they can dowith the excellent party discipline thatnow prevails in direction of subsidylegislation They prefer Instead to devisea measure which wilt be so generally

la Republican circles a toany break in the ranks either in

Congress or at the That will bethe purpose of

what Republican majoritie ableto pass but to decide what it would bewise and prudent to peas

On this point there 1 a wide differenceof opinion A group of Western Senatorswhose views are entitled to great weighthad made up their minds beforeadjourned that no subsidy bill likewhich then failed to reach action shouldagain become a part of their party policyThey were willing to do something for themerchant marine in eatennina of the malt contracts or In the authorization of special subsidies for the establishment of new lines for Southcan and other which privateflees would not Justify But a generalsubsidy bill of theGrosvenor variety they did not believewould be expedient

The reconciliation of the interests ofthe East and the West will be no slighttask Each side will claim the supportof President McKInley although heheretofore declined to take part in thecontroversy It and prOwith good reason that the Americanpublic i much less afraid of subsidies orpublic aid to private enterprise than itused to be There wa a time for ex-ample when it would have been neces-sary to do something more in providinga Federal subsidy for a few Americanfruit exporters than to have designatedit a pomological the brandstamped on the latest undertaking of theDepartment of Agriculture
