Santa BARBARA, CAL, May g.
Did you ever eat cooked lemons,
Mr., Editor? / think not. | have
often wondered whether any one
had ever tried TO make preserves OF
them, and find the Spaniards, at
any rate, have. IL no other nation.
They take of all the outside rind,
then soak them In brine five days to
take away the bitter taste, and then
preserve them sugar. They are al
most candled, they are so sweet, but

whether they are fitted to super

work. III we were building paved
streets, the contract system would r
tainly be preferable. Our highways are
simple graded and top dressed with

an easy matter 10 define just what a
contractor must bind himself to do in

Probably the aldermen will find it
worth while TO try the contract plan.

That was wholesome advice which
Bishop Jones gave To the deacons and
elders who were ordained at the session
of the Baltimore conference of the Arri-
"a Methodist Episcopal church last
week. "Don't spend your time before the
glass trying To make yourselves look
pretty" said the good bishop. at is not
at all likely that you would he succ essful,
but IL IL n shame eve To try To turn an
example of Gods noblcst work into a
dude, and very likely Il very poor dude at
that" The bishop materially strength
cned his argument by putting il upon
physical as well as moral grounds. The
picture of the improbability Of n colored
preacher becoming a successful dude, no
matter how hard he might try, must havo
been very effective, and the seed sown by
the bishop will surely bear fruit in n mo-
ticcablc moderation in jewclry, neckties
and hair oil.

The New York Press va that Emma

Patti. The diva said she was so entranced
with n lullaby the little stranger sang that
she threw her arms about her, told her To
get ready to go To Italy and paid for her

Emma Abbott got her first start i'm public

a newspaper proprietor who trusted her
for n few handbills which she personally
distributed, announcing that she would
give a concert in IA hotel dining room. The
newspaper was the Detroit Free Press.
And another solemn truth is that Emma

That was a highly sensational story
printed in the STANDARD yesterday

to bismarck when the legislature of
North Dakota WAS discussing the lot

of the Northern Pacific railroad.
II will be admitted that the lottery

Or. NAMED.

In nominating DIR. A. ii. Mitchell, of
Deer Lodge, for the Office of commits
sioner To the worlds fair, Governor
Toole has made an appointment that
will be universally approved. This Sc
lection sends TO Chicago a gentleman
who, in all that relates TO Montana's
history, and aspirations,
knows the end from the beginning.
The STANDARD takes pleasure In con-
graduating DIR. Mitchell on his nomi-
nation, at the same time IL heartily
congratulates the governor on his for
tunate choice.
The coming exposition is going to be
a stupendous affair and 1t is of great
account to Montana To be well repre-
scented there. The services of a com
missioner are not OF chiefest account
in extending attention and courtesy to
people from Montana, that service, of
course, becomes a part of his duty.
The important features of the office
concern the efficient presentation of
the states 10 people from
other sections of the union whom the
fair will bring together at Chicago.
DIR. Mitchell knows all about Montana
and her people. Everybody who en-
joys his acquaintance knows that he
will represent the state intelligently
and that under MI circumstances. the
thing will be done gracefully.
All the minor requirements are met
in the nomination ST DR.. Mitchell. The
political balance is preserved and the
west side gets representation. The
presenceo Of DIR. Mitchell and Mr.. lIirsch

To suit the most eXacting citizen of
