FRUIT PRESERVES AND JELLIEs.
Preserving with Sugar Pound for Pound,
Hints in Jelly Making.

Preserving with Sugar Pound for Pound
Hints in Jelly Making.
Miss Maria Parloa, in talk before the
Massachusetts, Horticultural society, said
IN regard to preserves and jellies:
Preserving with sugar pound for pound
is not extensively practiced now, most peo
pie preferring the simpler and more health.
full mode of canning with small quantity
OF sugar. Still, there are some things that
are better for the following Of this mode.
The strawberry cannot be preserved with.
out plenty of sugar.
Ii you wish to preserve the pineapple by
cooking care must be taken that it is not
exposed to high temperature for any
length of time, as cooking hardens and
darkens the fruit. All fruits are prepared
for preserving in sugar the same as for
canning. Then rich strip is made-four
pounds of sugar to a pint of water-and
the fruit is simmered in it until tender and
clear. Such fruit as ounces and hard
pears should be cooked until tender before
being put in the sirup
Some kinds of fruit are better for having
the sugar added to them when partially
cooked, while others should always have
it added the moment they are placed on
the fire. Again, one kind is better for
standing for hours in the sugar, while
others should not have the sugar touch
them until they are ready to go on the fire.
There are few fruits which are far better
without sugar than with it, This is the
case with the prune, with which sugar
should never be put, long, slow cooking
serving to develop a fine, rich flavor.
Cranberries, on the other hand, should
have pint of sugar to quart of berries,
and the sugar, water and berries must go
on the fire at once and be cooked rapidly
for short time. No other method will
give satisfactory result.
In no department of preserving does the
housekeeper feel less sure of the results
than in jelly making; SO much depends
upon the condition of the fruit This is
more pronounced in the case of small fruits
than with the larger kinds. When cur
rants are overripe, or have been picked
after rain, the result of using them will
be uncertain. Perhaps we notice it more
with this fruit than with any other be-
cause it is so generally used for jelly.
Pectin, which forms the basis of vegeta-
BILE jellies, is substance which in its COM
position resembles starch and gum. 1t
gives to the juices of fruits the property of
gelatinizing. This property is at it's best
when the fruit is just ripe; better little
underripe than overripe. When boiled
for long time it loses its gelatinous prop
erty and becomes of a gummy nature.
These facts show the Importance of using
fruit that is but ripe and freshly picked,
as well as the need of care not to overlook
the juice.
One form of preserves which is most use
full. convenient and wholesome should be
more generally adopted than itis-namely,
the canning of fruit juice for creams, ices,
drinks, etc.

CAMPAIGN OF EDUCATION.

Success of the Fight Against Oppressive
Taxes Due to Newspapers.
A little over four years ago, when
Grover Cleveland sent to congress his
now famous tariff reform message, there
was no organized agitation against the
imposition of the tariff taxes which, even
then, before the Mckinley bill was con-
cocted, lay with oppressive weight upon
nearly every industry and upon nearly
every article of general consumption by
the people. Here and there bold cham
pion of fair play raised his voice against
the filching system, and there was an
undercurrent of resentment against it.,
but no great manifestation was made.
When President Cleveland sent in his
plucky challenge to the supporters of
high taxes and placed himself at the
head of the sentiment demanding reform,
the situation rapidly began to change,
and, as was said at that time, the whole
country was transformed into debating
school. In the progress of the debate
since 1888, the allied forces of monopoly
have received some pretty hard knocks
and have lost ground steadily.
Very much of the success of the fight
against oppressive taxes has been due
to the systematic publication of the
plain facts about the tariff question.
The newspapers have spoken boldly.
Men who had been handicapped in their
businesses for years by the tariff came
out and said so. When the effect of the
high tariff taxes upon different produc-
tive occupations came to be considered,
something like the full effect of such
legislation could be realized. Since
1888, the Reform club of New York has
been publishing the results of careful
Investigations as to how far each of the
various leading industries of our country
have been affected by the tariff laws,
and in what manner. Besides ezplana-
lions of the interests of the general
farmer and laborer, they have published
brief essays upon the iron and steel in
dustry, copper and brass, coal, salt,
dairy farming, wool, grapes, sugar, pot
terry, glass, wall paper, hats, gloves, etc.
So far as their means would allow they
have distributed, and are still distribut-
ing, these all over the United States.
They have also carried on an aggressive
agitation by means of joint debates,
nonpartisan addresses and in other
ways. A recent report of the work OF
this organization gives details of the
work done in over dozen states of the
Union and their plans for the great con-
test of 1902.

Including Great Variety In Costumes
Cool, Becoming and Practical.
A few years ago there was only one pos
sible make Of riding habit, plain and un-
compromising, and the tall hat was al
most as necessary as the horse itself.
Now, however, in summer especially, COM
fort and individual taste assert their
claims, and the result Is variety of cos
TUNES. While the fashion of skirts re-
mains much the same, every variety Of
jacket, covert coat, shirt and waistcoat is
admissible, and in the matter of hats, too,
wide choice is given, though the tall hat
retains popularity for park riding.
This year, among the lighter colored
habits, browns appear to be much worn;
but the majority Of skirts are black, or
else the darkest blue. All open jackets
worn with shirts and waistcoats are much
longer than those of last year; the latest
English habits for the most part touch the
saddle, and some even come on to the
horses back like a mans coat. Our cut
represents coat of moderate length.

1t gives the wearer the chance of introduce

with pinkish shirt, sailor hat trimmed
with striped red ribbon Coming with the
shirt), and tie to match A pale blue tie
and band of the same around the hat is a
favorite color and suits many people.
Both for riding and ordinary wear, ties
fastened in a bow with short ends satisfy
what appears to be the desire of many
women's hearts-to approximate as closely
as may be to mans attire.
Besides ordinary white sailor hats, good
many mixed fancy straws are worn; the
briWs are rather wide and the crowns low.
Nearly all these hats are made in coarse
straw, and both in texture and shape are
similar to mems sailor hats White waist
coats, and those in light fancy materials,
are worn, and with them straight collars
and stiff hard ties.
Yellow or brown leather boots appear to
find favor with some riders, but they are
very enlarging in appearance to the ordi-
nary sized foot.

Summer Wraps.

The newest thing in the way of orna-
mental wraps is of black net, frilled and
tastefully trimmed with delicate colored
narrow ribbon. In shape they are long
and narrow-something like the lace wraps
our grandmothers wore with high wasted
dresses.
Redfern has made some pretty little sum-
mer capes, such as French women wear
now when chilly; coachmen's capes, with
three graduated capes in light cloth or

Oatmeal and Oranges.

No sort of food is better for the COM
plexion than oatmeal and oranges. The
finest compilations in the world are those
of the italian and Spanish ladies, who live
largely on coarse grained food and fruit
like the orange or banana. 1t is said that
the fact is becoming appreciated. and that
some ladies, to acquire and preserve a good
complexion, are living almost entirely on
oranges. Half dozen for breakfast, with
a cup of coffee; dozen for lunch, with a
glass of milk and saucer of oatmeal, and
a dozen more for supper, with q crust of
bread and sip of tea, may NOT be high liv-
ing in the proper sense Of the word, but
such course of diet will bring a COM
plexion of peach and ivory which will drive
almost any belle out of her head with envy.

BEWARE OF SIDE ISSUES.

Democrat Must Present a Solid Front
to the Enemy.
Here are some facts for the considera-
ton of those Democrats at the south and
elsewhere who are disposed to embar-
rass counsel with Alliance issues, third
party movements and the like.
John l. Davenport, under Senator
Hills cross examination, has declared
upon oath that he was the author of last
years force bill, and that he will bring
It forward again to secure for Repub-
lican officials what Mr.. Lodge called for
ga bayonet behind every ballot"
That bill was passed as party meas
ure by the Republican house last year
and only beaten in the senate by splen'
didly brilliant combination formed by
Senator German.
The Republican president not only
favored it's enactment, but was active
and urgent in its behalf. This force
bill champion is the candidate OF his
party for reelection to the presidency.
Not one of the Republican leaders
whose influence is felt in the party has
had one word to say in opposition to
this scheme for the control of elections
nv force and fraud. All of them favor
it as the surest method of retaining
mower for their party irrespective OF the
popular will.
The platform adopted at Minneapolis
means force bill if it means anything.
In brief, the Republican party Is COM
mitted to the force bill policy, the he
publican campaign will be for the force
bills passage, and if the Republicans
win the force bill will become law.
With such prospect staring them IN
the face it is no time for Democrats any
where to indulge in disgruntlements 10
potter over secondary issues, to divide
strength with strange movements" OF
to do anything else except work with
might and main for the selection OF the
strongest men at Chicago, and for the
election of the candidates selected, who
ever they be.
So long as this force bill threat hangs
over the country the Democratic party
confronts danger that should solidify
it like crystal York World.
Is There One Left?
If the Mckinley tariff had done for
the Homestead men what it processes to-
do, or if it had even prevented wage
reduction, which meant to them some
thing like starvation, then the lockout
and the battle would not have occurred.
Is there any sane man left who really
believes that the Mckinley kind of tariff
does what its promoters pretend that it
will do?

Fashion Echoes.

A noticeable thing in elaborate gowns is
that the sleeves are generally contrast TO
the dress. Where this is not the case the
bodice is of different material from the
skirt
Some picture hats are trimmed extrava-
gantly with feathers, and favorite idea is
to wear one plume under the brim on the
left side.
The newest models in underlinen show
most bewitching nightgowns with deep
frillings, with or without lace, the most
effective having colored frills of soft ma
terial.
Tea gowns, to be la mode, must hang
in the softest indescribable folds; they are
made in Grape and crepon. Those who
have old lace scarfs can turn them to the
best account, for they are folded on the
bodice back and front. the ends floating

SPECIAL RATES TO PARTIES OF
Ten or More, as Granted BY the Baltimore & Ohio
to theatrical Companies and Others, Held 10
Be Consistent With the Interstate Com
merce Law by the Supreme Court

WASHINGTON. D. c., May l6.-A iudg-
ment Of great interest in its construction OF
what, under the Inter State Commerce act
constitutes an unlawful discrimination,
was rendered by the United States Su-
preme Court to-day in the case commonly
known as the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Theatrical rate case, involving the rights
Of the railroad company 70 sell at reduced
rate to parties of ten or more persons.
The Court, in an opinion by Justice
Brown, sustained the decision OF Judge
jackson. refusing to issue an injunction
to restrain the railroad company from con-
tinuing the sale of party rate tickets. The
general ground of the opinion is that II is
not an unjust discrimination for railroad
company TO sell tickets at wholesale cneap-
er than at rtail. The case originated In a
complaint made by the Pittsburg. Cincin-
natl and St Louis Railroad Company
against the Baltimore and Ohio TO the In
ter-State Commerce Commission.
The Court, in it's opinion. says: 1t is
not all discrimination Of preferences that
fall within the inhibition of the statute;
such only as are unjust or unreasonable.
For instance, it would be obviously unjust
to charge A a greater sum than for SIN
ole trip from Washington to Pittsburg, but
if A agrees not only to 60 but TO return oy
the same route, it is no injustice to B
to permit him to do so for q
reduced fare. since the service are
not alike, nor the circumstances and condi-
tions substantially similar as required oy
Section ., to make an unjust discrimina-
ton. Indeed, the possibility OF just dis
elimination and reasonable preferences is
recognized by these sections, in declaring
what shall be deemed unjust. We agree,
however, with the plaintiff in its cOnten-
ton that a charge may be perfectly reason
able under section l, and yet may create
unjust discrimination or an unreasonable
preference under sections . and 3.
The railroad companies are bound only
to give the same terms TO all persons alike
under the same conditions and circum-
stances, and any fact which produces an
inequality of conditions justifes an in
equality of charges.
The Court therefore, holds that party
rate tickets, as sold by the B. & o., being
sold TO all persons IN parties OF ten or
more, whether theatrical parties or not, do
not constitute violation of the Inter
State Commerce act.
The Court adjourned till October next

New MARTINsvlLLE, w. VA, May
16.-There was quite an excitement
created here to-day at the Brast House
while the guests were all at dinner, by
an attempt to kidnap or arrest one Of
the waiter girls by an entire stranger,
who was transient guest at the hotel.
The stranger gave no explanation what
ever of his outrageous conduct, which
surrounds the affair with an air OF mys-
terry that seems impenetrable. He
SAYS, however, that his name is
+. L. Harper, and he pretends
to be engaged in some capacity
in the oil business in the Sistersville
oil field. Mrs. Molle McConahay, aged
about II years, pretty attractive and
well developed, wife Of Burt McConaagh-
ey, being the same man who assaulted
Kiss Walton recently in your city, is
one of the waiter girls at the Brast
House. Mollie has not been living
with her husband since ne had the
trouble with the Walton woman. She
was waiting on the table to-day as
usual. As soon as Harper had finished
his dinner be passed out OF the dining
room into the hallway and then into
the kitchen, where he met Molie. He
seized and handled her very roughly,
and pulling her out on to the
porch OF the hotel attempted
10 place handouts on her. Mrs. Nc
Conaughey was very much frightened
but recovered herself sufficiently to ask
for an explanation Of his outrageous
conduct. He said that she was under
arrest. that he was an officer, a United
States Marshal, and that she had TO
leave the town for thirty-tive hours.
Mr.. Brast, proprietor of the hotel, ap-
peared on the scene at this time and de-
manded Harper's authority for making
the arrest. He said that he was an Off
Ger, and there was his authority, ex-
hibiting a pair of handcuffs. 1t de-
veloped, however, that Harper had no
authority, and Mr.. Brast turned him
over to the Town Marahal, who took
him to the Mayors Office, where he was
fined SS and co, 70 disc der conduct,
which he quickly ana gladly paid. lie

In the meantime the friends Of Mrs Nc
Conaughey procured warrant charg-
ing Harper with falsely personating an
officer and an attempt to kidnap. Har-
per was intercepted at the depot before
getting away and again placed under
arrest. He is now In jail What
motives induced him to attempt such an
outrage no one seems to know or even
conjecture. Molle says that she had
never seen nor heard OF Harper before,
in fact, he was an entire stranger. Such
conduct is exceedingly reprehensible
and deserves the severest punishment.
