COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

The reader will look in vain for a clearer
and more concise statement of the whole
argument against a cheap dollar than the
President gives in his veto message. 1t il
dishonest dollar, and as such 1t will force
the honest dollar ont of circulation. There
Is little need to speak of the possible effects
of this unfortunate measure. With its pres
ent provisions, the Silver bill Is rather a
wrong and shame than a positive cause for
alarm in business and industrial circles

Neither the threats of opponents, nor the
urging of friends, nor the prospect that his
resistance would he futile, moved the Presi-
dent from the position he had taken, What

give il its due rank as deed of courageous
craftsmanship unsurpassed by any one of his
illustrious predecessors in the office he holds.

We are inclined to the belief that it the
silver bull will prove disappointment to
those who have so turiOusly urged it-and
possibly, also, to those who have opposed it.
The former will find that the cheapuess of
the dollar will not bring more dollars into
the hands of those who have nothing to give
in exchange and that, by hiniering re-
sumption in gold, they have actually locked
up 5000 ,00O, 900 of sound currency which
would sooa have been in circulation. The
latter will find that, with the utmost exer-
tion, the mints cannot produce enough of
these cheap dollars to cause perceptible in

now stands, it ~ IN the power of the Secrc-
tary Of the Treasury to make the law actual

danger to be apprehended is that which may

hundreds eXcitcdly lett tho House galleries
for those of the Senate, which were soon
crowded. Many members of the House came
over with like purpose. The confusion

so great that the presiding officer re-

order upon the floor IN rear Of

''shaII n Woman he Hanged ?''

WHO HAVE SUFFERED THE DEATH
PENALTY.
ATLANTA, Ca, May 13.-The question
of whether Kate Southern, who killed
her rival, Narcissa Cowart, at a ball, will
be hanged next month continues to be
the absorbing topic here. So far the
Governor has given no intimation as to
whether he will exercise clemency.
Public opinion in strongly in favor of a
reprieve.
Susan Eberhardt was not the only wo-
man ever hanged in Georgia, as stated in
some newspapers nor even the only
white woman.
Many years ago, in Wilkes county, q
white woman, Mrs. Bartlett, was hanged
for killing her husband. The hanging is
r, membered by all the older people OF
Wilkes county, and have had the tree
on which she was hanged pointed out
several times.
Negro women have, in good many
instances, suffered the extreme penalty
of the law. More than forty years ago
two negro women-Army and Katie
were hanged in Augusta for poisoning a
family. In Wilkes county, not long be-
fore the war, a negro woman was hanged
for killing Mrs. Burns. She turned out
10 be innocent, a negro man having af-

New Mode of Making Butter

Adam S. Loewen, of Reading, has a
machine for making butter which is of
novel construction and works wonderful
results. His machine is an ordinary egg
beater, holding about two quarts, and he
uses powder which he calls the "magic
butter maker" The powder resembles
white flour, and he colors the butter with
IA harmless coloring matter, SO that when
the butter Is made 1t is of beautiful yell
low color, resembling the best Lancaster
or Chester county butter. In three
minutes from pint of milk and pound
of butter, by the use of the egg beater he
makes two pounds of choice yellow but
ter, which in sweetness of taste Is equal
TO any offered for sale in the Reading
markets. Mr.. Loewen says that the pro :
cess which he has will reduce the cost of
butter fully forty per cent, which is at
considerable saving when butter Is sell
ling at sixty cents pound.
Mr.. Loewen exhibited the effect of his
powder in tho production of butter at
the Eagle Office, and his representations
were found to be correct. The milk Mr..
Loewen used was Jaken fresh from a
COW owned by Mr.. Dietrich, in Elm
street. Mr.. Loewen says the butter will
keep just like other butter, losing none
of its weight. In less than two minutes
and half he made the butter in his ex-
pertinent.
