would have to be paid, thus permitting a
part of the 1925 900 (now necessary to pay
interest) to be applied to the reduction of
the principal as sinking fund. That is to
say, if the same sum of money, which is
necessary to pay merely the interest on the
State debt under the funding bill were
raised annually, and S3I7,200 applied to the
past due debt until it is iquidated, and
then to the reduction of the principal OF
the outstanding debt; and the surplus OF
the 1926, 900 remaining after the payment
| of the interest due on the outstanding debt
as reduced by the sinking fund of $317, 200
were also applied as a sinking fund; the en-
tire State debt could be paid off at par in
| thirty nine years, with precisely the same
| sum that will be paid in interest under the
| funding bill. We have demonstrated this
by actual calculation. 1t is clear that under
the funding bill the people will, in thirty
nine years pay enough money in interest to
pay off the whole debt principal and inter-
est, if properly applied, and that they will
still owe above twenty-one millions at the
end of forty years.
It would therefore be far better to provide
a sinking funi and pay off the past due
debt in few years, and the whole of it in
thirty-nine years, than to pay 81 ,242,O 900,
annually Gin addition to all other 'xes) for
forty years, and leave the debt entirely un-
paid.
The undersigned therefore solemnly pro-
test against the passage of said Senate Bill
No. 21I.
1. Because they do not think it will per-
manently improve the State credit; but on
the contrary, that funding the past due debt
will irjure it, by increasing the debt and
thus making it the more difficult to meet.
2. Because it is bad financial policy.
3. Because its provisions are injurious
and oppressive to the people.
In voting against the passage of said bill,
the undersigned did not, by any means,
intend to ignore the State debt, nor to de-
feat any measure that would improve and
sustain the State credit. On the con-
trary they are opposed TO repudia-
/ ton in any form or shape and
were willing and ready to assist in provid-
ing a sinking fund for the payment OF the
past due debt, and funds to pay the future
interest on the outstanding State debt, or
to assist in the passage of any measure that
would do equal and exact justice to both
Z the bond-holder and taxpayer.

81 wouId Eat some Oysters, J,

| There is weird story of an oyster
eater, which still floats around the wharye
ct Baltimore, where oyster boats do con
gregate. One morning, twas years ago
the sloop Martha Mary came from som
oyster bed on the Chesapeake, laden gun
mel deep with prime oysters, and wa
moored safely along side of Baltimor
wharf. The skipper, pleased with tn
prospects of the voyage, lounged on tn,
whaIf, awaiting customer.
There came to this captain lean. lanlk
and sallow-faced man, who said, with ,
carniverous voice, III would eat som,
| oysters" .f
Plenty on board, therel' was thu
bluff reply.
"But would pay for what eat,v in.
terposed the stranger.
"All right, go aboard eat your fill fol
a quarter" cheerily replied the skipper
for in those early times oysters wer,
worth not more than fifteen cents a bushel
Willingly" said the thin man, pro
ducing with alacrity the old Spanish quar-.
ter with the pillars on it, the coin at that
time, and drawing a large, rusty oyster
knife from his pocket. Then the thin man
opened the hatch of the little vessel and
dived below.
The captain went to his breakfast. The
meal over, he returned to his sloop. Be-
low he heard the measured clink OF an
oyster knife. He thought little about it,
only said. "He has a good appetite" Oys-
ters were not rapid of sale that day, as
two more oyster smacks had come in, and
purchasers were slack. "Makes no mat
ter" said the captain s'the weather is
cold, them oysters is sound, and they will
keep in prime order for week"
That captain went to dinner. Again he
paced his little vessels deck, and still he
heard the monotonous, incessaut "click, -
"click.' from below. working away with
mechanical regularity. Anxiously, then,
that captain strobe along, and was full Of
fear. As the sun set, still the click Of the
oyster knife was heard. In terror the cap
tain fled from his smack. Next morning
early, as he approached the wharf, still his
affrighted ear heard the click. He could
stand it no longer. Rushing below, scat
tering aside whole heaps of empty shells, he
found the lean, lank, and cadayerous man
still opening away at the very bottom of
the vessel.
"They are good" said the cadaverous
man, swallowing with artistic firt a singu-
larly large oyster "but scarce as salty as
like 'em eff had had cracker, or just
a dash of vinegar, mebbe / might have
Jengyed 'em more. See here, Capting, it's
just case Of knife with me. This 'ere
oyster knife" and he held up the attenu-
ated blade, worn now to the size of PEN
knife, wasn't good steel, or 1 might have
had my FILL" and saying this he slowly
and deliberately climbed up the hatchway,
and still lank and lean disappeared in the
distance.-Forest and Stream.

USEFUL RECIPES.

The EFFICACY OF AN EGG.-The
white of an egg is said to be specific for
fish-bones sticking in the throat. 1t is to
be swallowed raw, and will carry down a
bone easily and certainly. There is another
fact touching eggs which it will be we'll to
remember. When-as sometimes by acci-
dent-corrosive suhlimate is swallowed,
the white of one or two eggs taken will neu-
tralize the poison and change the effect to
that of dose of calomel.

and put it through sieve, and to quart
OF it add quart of milk, two cups of su.
sugar, ono tablespoonful of ginger, half a
nutmeg, and the grated rind Of one lemon.
four eggs; one or two less may be used
by substituting two or three tablespoon
fuls of maizana, or biscuit finely pounded.
To be baked in deep pie-plates, lined with
puff paste.
To REMOVE MOLD STAINS FROM
BOOKS without injuring the paper, the
Scientific American gives the following
directions: 1. Wet with pure, clean
water. 2. Soak in dilute solution of
bleaching powder. 3. Pass through water
made sour to the taste by muriatic acid.
4. Soak in pure water until all traces of
acid are removed, and dry. 1t is not ne
cessary to say that this operation requires
careful manipulation. You may try, in
stead, exposing the moistened paper to
the fumes of burning sulphur, which is
a good bleaching agent, and then passing
it through water and drying.

Of sour milk, including at least one-half cup

THE BEST DIsINFEcTANT.- - Carboll,
acid, in some of the various forms in whicl
| it is offered to the public, is one of the mos
popular disinfectants, and deservedly so
For simple disinfection, where the cause ha
been removed, nothing is superior to tn
| acid itself, either concentrated or in solu
ton. For disinfecting the air of the sick
room few drops may be put upon he
shovel or stove-lid, or any article that Wi
retain its heat for some time. 1t has th
advantage that it does not injure clothing Q
metal articles with which the vapor come
in contact. II should be used with care

A Deed of GlOry--A British CaptRtu
saves the Lives of Fifty Americans.

| On the 18th of November the remainder
| OF the passengers were to be executed
iiity in all, but on the morning ofthat day an
English man-of-war, the Niobe, arrived in
port. The captain, on coming into the
harbor, did not salute the Spanish
forts. He was in his boat before
his anchor had touched the bottom,
and on landing proceeded straight to
the Governors house, and peremptorily
demanded that the executions should
cease, The governor at first declared
that ne had no right to interfere, but the
captain said that in the absence of an
American man-ofwar he would take the
responsibility Of protecting American citi-
zens, and guarding the honor of the Amer
ican flag. 1t is said he gave the captain
general his choice between yielding to his
demands or having the city bombarded,
and the Governor accordingly gave way.
Only for the arrival Of the Niobe
there can be no doubt but that
the fifty would have been shot that
afternoon. All the Americans in port
were loud in praise of the manner in which
the captain OF the Niobe acted. Iascertain-
ed few days after his arrival that be came
in answer to telegraphc message from the
American consul, sent after the massacre of
Captain Fry ard the crew, asking to have
an American man -of-war dispatched to
Santiago de Cuba. There happened to be
no American man-of-war in Kingston at
the time, but the commander of the Niobe
immediately got up steam, and, even
though he had not his full complement of
men-many of them being on shore
without delay started for Santiago de Cuba.
One of his first acts was to compel the
Spaniards to remove the American flag
from the place on the deck of the Tornado
where it had been thrown about and
trampled upon for days, more like rag
than flag. He also compelled the gover-
nor of Santiago to furnish him with five
copies Of the official proceedings
In regard to the trials--one
for himself one for his commodore, one for
the American government, one for the
British, and the remaining one for the
American commodore" When conclud-
ing his story Mr.. Coffin assured the repor.
ter that the Spanish authorities somehow
seem to have no respect for the American
government, and do not hesitate on the
slightest pretext to insult the American
flag Correspondence NeD York Times.
