WANTED TO BE SWORN IN.

The officers from Richmond offered to be
sworn as marshals. but the chief Of the men
in that city did not need them. He had quito
q sufticiency OF marshals to transact his bust
ness and did not require the services of the
Nirginians In other words. everybody
was making an earnest fight for the
fees and the Philadelphians wanted
the fees if it were possible. The
Richmond officers were comfOrted, however
by being sworn as witness. Their zenith Of
hope was 10 be sworn in as something, cOnse-
quently the position as witness was not to be

WHY THIS ARDOR.

But why this ardor? Why this energy and
zeal? Captain Angle and Sergeant Brooks
are employees of the city Of Richmond. They
are not agents OF the Federal Government
and why should they neglect their duties IN
this city TO 20 to Philadelphia Cusic and
Brynes are not wanted in Richmond for
trial. They have not committed any mis-
deeds within this city limits, neither have
they received any goods that have been
stolen by their boon comrades.

Waynesboro officers are the men to 60 TO
Philadelphia for Cusic and Brynes The city
Of Richmond has no interest in them. neither
have their officers, and the only possible mo-
tive that could be ascribed TO Alessrs. Angle
and Brooks is their love for notoriety and
their liking for the coin of Uncle Sam. This,
of course. may not have been their incentive.
Protection 10 the good people OF Virginia may
have by some unseen force driyen them 10
Philadelphia but do many people in this age
work for such high sentiments! Is it often
that policemen of the Second district do these
thingsy
The city of Richmond does not hire out its
servants for any such purpose. The principle
is bad. the results would be disastrous. But
both can be consoled-they are witnesses and
are drawing witnesses fees.

THE SECOND STATION.

Readers of The TIyys should not be sur
pr.sed. however. at their action, for there are
quite a number Of cratic characters at the
Second station. Sergeant Junius A. Cosby Is
one of them. He las launched his craft of
life on the sea of journalism. lie has
become an emis5ary OF our cOntem-
porary. for on last Thursday evening
he assisted them materially in getting out'

every possible item he could find he passes by
THE TINES building and wends his way TO the

morning with gems Of police news III winch
the corpulent sergeant figures with great con-
spicuousness. Two TINS reporters go TO
the station-house for the same items but are
told there is netting OF interest

orders that Tn TIMES men shall not be given

Such discrimination should not be done. The
newspspers are too important factors % the
police TO be ignored DIV captain, sergeant or
private. AMI Il is with fear that they see Ser
geant Cosby begin this new sphere OF action.
KNEW NOTHING.
Sergeant John f. Shinberger has also be-
come imbued with peculiar proclivities. A
TIMES reporter yesterday asked him what
was going on. aud he said he hardly knew.
That he didn't feel like giving items 10 The
TIMES. for he didn't believe that paper treated
the policemen right. lie was finally persuaded
TO tel what he knew. and told Of nego who
had stolen gold ring and sl2 IN currency.
There are others who have expressed these
same views. and on three occasions men who
have had charge OF the station-housos have
said there were no items when news from that
house has appeared in our contemporary.
II may be that there is an agreement TO re-
fuse news 10 THE TIMES. and perhaps some
officers are angry because Tar TIMES does
not write articles to suit them, but the result
is the same, and The TINES is compelled TO
establish other avenues from which to receive
their information.
1t can be said in justice that quite num-
Der of the police ut the Second station are
ever oblging and ready TO give news. but

Wood for the Printing Press.

The wood pulp business is gener-
ally regarded as in its infancy in this
country, and yet the product is enor-
nous. The Philadelphia Record,
which makes its own paper, has fur
nished piece of special information,
which gives inkling of the magnitude
of the general consumption of wood
pulp. 1t states that single edition
of the Record-150,000 copies of a
12-page paper, required II tons of
blank paper, TO produce which 60
cords of poplar was used. In %
hours from the time of telling the
tree it had been turned into printed
papers. The process is thus divided
with respect to a test case: Chopping
Il cords of wood, hours, in manu-
featuring into pulp, II hours trans
porting to the Record Office, l hour
aud 20 minutes; wetting paper, pre-
paratory to printing, 80 minutes,
printing 10000 copies, 10 minutes.
This shows the rapidity with which
raw material may be turned into flu
ished article, going through numer-
ous processes. If the Record aver
aged so cords of poplar daily, it
would amount to Is, ,25O cords annu-
ally. 1t must then be considered
that it is only one paper in one city,
and that about every newspaper is
printed from material consisting large
ly, and often almost wholly, of wood
pulp, which is also used in the pro-
duction of nearly all common and
medium grades of paper for almost
all use. 1t is thus seen that the con-
sumption of wood in pulp making is
of great magnitude.
With enormous consumption of
wood for railway ties and building
and the added requirements of the
printing press, it is not strange that
our forests are rapidly disappearing.
Every State should pass laws for the
encouragement of tree planting. If
steps are not soon taken to restore
our woods, there will ere long be a
tree famine.-iScfentifc American.

Petroleum Fuel for War Vessels.

Italy, which keeps in the front rank
in naval construction and appliances
is credited with being so well salts
fed with her recent experiments in
the use of petroleum for the fuel of
war vessels as TO propose introducing
it very largely in her feet. If its
advantages are so great Russia and
America, with their oil resources,
ought not TO be distanced in its ap-
plicatiou by Italy. But the cost of
petroleum, compared with coal, is un-
doubtedly an influential considera-
ton against its use, even where the
element of safety is not regarded as
of prime Importance under such pre-
cautions as might be taken. This
difference in cost, however, becomes
less noticeable in small naval craft,
particularly torpedo boats, where the
stock of fuel carried and consumed
is not very great. AS an Offset, also,
we have the unqnestionable fact that
the petroleum will last longer than
the same quantity of coal, SO that the
''radius of action of the vessel is
increased, which.is an important con-
sideration. Fewer fremen are also
required, and there are several other
advantages for oil ia service, such as
freedom from the coal smoke that of.
ten betrays vessel. 1t is probably
these considerations that have deter.
mined the Italians to make larger
use of petroleum in their navy.

ers which bloomed in the Nile fifty
centuries ago bloom there still, un-

years before Abraham and Sarah went
down into Egypt. In the tombs of
later date have been found, together
with apparently simply ornamental
flowers, as hollyhocks and chrysan-
themums, the various fruits, vegeta-
bles and grain for which the land has
ever been renowned, as figs, dates,
olives, grapes, pomegrauates, onions,
beans, barley and wheat. Around
the necks and upon the breasts of

Keeping Butter.

For keeping butter as it is made on
the farm there is no more certain
method than to keep it immersed in
strong brine. Make the butter into
solid rolls of about two pounds each,
and wrap each roll in piece of thin
cloth that has been wet in brine
The sole use of the cloths is to keep
the butter from sticking together and
disfiguring the rolls whenever one is
taken out. Pack the rolls in we'll
glazed stoneware jars (new oak tubs
would be even better), and keep en-
tirely covered with strong brine
Strain the brine to take out all the
specks before applying it and keep
the vessels covered and in as cool a
place as you have, and if the butter
is sweet when packed it will remain
palatable long time. The brine is
not only preservative in itself, but
keeping the butter immersed in the
liquid is the easiest and best practical
method for excluding the air, which
would soon cause it to become rancid.
The rolls need not all be put in at the
same time, provided those first put in
are always kept immersed, and there is
no danger of the butter becoming too
soft from this process.-N. Y. World.

When to fairer land I'm called,

THE BAKERS To STRIKE

Higher Wages, Shorter Hours and
Better Grub Their Aim.
Next Sunday has been set by the
bakers of this city, for gen eral strike
for better wages, less hours of work.
and it is also claimed, for better
meals. 1t was reported that the bakers
in the employ of Mr.. Bryant, the
baker on Ave. d, had gone out TODAY.
but when Mr.. Bryant was questioned
in regard to it, he said he knew moth
ing at all about the matter. There
are fair number of bakers here, and
the discomfort seems to be pretty
considerable. Committees of the local
Bakers Union have been around
interviewing the men in regard to
this matter, and q general strike
next Sunday, unless their demands
are met, has been decided upon. The
proprietors of number of bakeries
have gotten wind of the matter and
have secured new men in case the
strike materializes, and will them
selves, those who are up In the pro
fession, do their own baking.
