PORT JERvIs, N. Y. April 20.-[SpeciaL
Miss Maggie Burke, the young woman to
whom George Everett, son of President M.
c. Everett, of the National Bank of Port
Jervis, was betrothed, and who is supposed
to have committed suicide at Middletown,
Monday, on her account, has made volun-
tary statement to Coroner A. L. Dick, who
has the case in charge. Miss Burke says
she had been engaged to young Everett for
a year or more, but the opposition to the
match by the Everett family, on account of
her religious faith, proved so persistent
and unyfelding that she recalled her pledge
to marry him, and notified him that he must
cease visiting her.
After that, she says, he began to drink
heavily, and on Saturday night she got a
package from Middletown, by express, in
closing his gold watch and an engagement
ring he had worn, and note intimating
that he had given her up and should not
trouble her any more. The Coroner's jury
returned q verdict in the case this after
noon to the effect that the deceased died of
laudanum and arsenic poison taken by his
own hand while in q depressed state of
mind

A Chief Justices Gown.

Unlike judges in most lower courts the
supreme court justices wear black gowns
that are much like the cassocks of church
choristers. Arrayed in these somber black
gowns. the justices, a row of seven or eight
very large and very learned men, present
an appearance of official dignity that is
most striking.
The supreme court convenes at IL
o'clock. One day Chief Justice Chase was
unable to fin ! his robe. He searched every
part of the robing room. and even lighted
match to go deeper into his closet than
usual in search of the missing gown, be-
cause the day was a dark and rainy one
1t wanted but a minute or two of Il
when the chief justice, almost beside HIM
self with long searching, appealed to Ben
Wade, the famous rough and ready senator
from Ohio, who CHANGED to enter the room,
to help him find his lost gown.
Wade had just come in from out of
doors, and so, thrusting his umbrella I'M
der one of the settees to see if the missing
garment was there, he fortunately fished
it out. Holding it at arms length on the
end of his dripping umbrella he shouted,
"Here, Chase-here's your old shirt"
The learned chief justice reached his
seat in the middle OF the row just as the
clock struck the last stroke of r. but the
spectator from the front would never have
guessed that the gown which clothed so
much dignity had been ten seconds before
dangling at the end of a very wet umbrella.

Flinty Bread.

The f1inty crust OF bread ia due in many
cases to the nature of the -four from which
it is made. Low grade flours Of all kinds
tend to make finty crusts; the same is true
OF flours made from Indian, Persian and
other harsh wheats grown in hot climates.
In some cases the character Of the oven is
responsible for hard crusts A porous tile
bottom will produce bottom crust less
ffinty than either stone or iron. A cold
oven Of any kind will make harder crust
when the bread is cold than hot oven
will; that Is, provided the bread remains
long enough in the oven TO be thoroughly
baked.
Underwrought bread has comparatively
f1inty crusts. busting boards on which
the bread is handed up with rice -four
makes the crusts finty. From the nature
OF the causes given the possible remedies
are sufficiently obvious The term ''finty"
Is assumed to mean crust which is brittle,

Alum inium as an Alloy with Iron.

One of the new applications of alumni
ium is to the refining of other metals by the
addition of small quantities of the first
named element. 1t has thus been rem
dered possible to obtain cast iron pieces of
very superior quality. BY the addition of
aluminium the finely divided masses of OK
ide of iron present in the fluid iron, which
unfavorably influence the solidity of the
casting, are reduced; the very light alum
ina Stag is driven upward in the molten
metal and floats on the surface.
In view of the removal of the oxide of
iron, the casting will result of more com
pact nature, from the fact that the carbon
contained in the iron has no opportunity,
by uniting with the oxygen of the oxide of
iron, of forming carbonic acid, vesicules of
the gas of which are left behind in the iron,
leaving cavities. Copper castings are also
refined in this manufactured Maya

Model Locomotive Engines.

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad has
just placed in service on its Chicago divi
sion three new passenger engines, built at
the Baldwin Locomotive works, after new
designs furnished by the general superin-
tendent of motive power OF the Baltimore
and Ohio company. The engines weigh
l13, 900 pounds, have driving wheels 6 feet.
6 inches III diameter cylinders 19X24
inches, and are without doubt the finest
passenger engines running into the city of
Chicago today. Companions OF these new
engines have developed wonderful power
and speed in hauling the famous Royal
Blue Line trains. which run between New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Wash
ington, over the Philadelphia division OF
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. The Bal
timore and Ohio has added over forty new,
high class engines to its motive power
equipment within the last sixty days, and
Others are under construction. While con-
stantly adding engines OF approved design
and highest grade to its motive power, and
passenger coaches of Pullman standard to
its rolling stock, the Baltimore and Ohio
is also expanding large amounts for addi-
tional second and third tracks and sidings
and improving facilities at terminal points.
BY the time the worlds fair is opened Cor
the reception of visitors the Baltimore and
Ohio will be well equipped TO handle, ex.
peditiously, the large volume of passenger
traffic which will naturally seek this
picturesque route from the Atlantic sea-
board to Chicago. 10 1t

Five Things About q Note,


There are five essential elements to the
legal validity of negotiable draft, note
or check:
1t must be payable in money-that is,
gold, silver or greenbacks, possibly also in
United States currency; not in any kind of
merchandise. Thus note payable in 100
calves" has been decided TO be invalid.
1t must be payable without any contin-
gency or uncertainty. A note promising
to pay ''Sl 900 out of the proceeds of ore to
be raised and sold for any mine is invalid.
But particular fund may be designated,
as, II promise to pay out of the estate of
B., deceased"
1t must be payable at certain specified
time-a time certain TO arrive A note
payable to A. B. when he is twenty -one
years of age' is not good, for he may not
live to be twenty-one, and SO the time Is
not certain to irrive
But note payable ION demand" is held
to be good, for demand is in the nature of
things certain to be made at some time.
The owner of such a note would not pos
sess common sense if he never demanded
payment.
1t must be payable to the order of GER
tain party therein named, or else payable
to bearer. Otherwise it is not negotiable,
although as simple written contract it is
good as between the maker and the person
to whom it is payable. But it is not capa-
BILE of Endorsement unless the words 'Or-
der" or ''bearer" appear.
The amount payable must be specified
and certain. A note for 500 with inter
est" is good, because the interest can be
calculated and thus certainly ascertained,
but note reading, 'Pay 500 or S200' is
not good. -Chautauquan.

Several Common Phrases.

Some of our idiomatic phrases are
amusing rather than didactic. Take, for
instance, the very common remark made
when some one of the company has told
a harmlesS secret-"You have let the cat
out of the bag" 1t is at once figure of
speech and picture, but veritable
bugbear to foreigner not versed in the
mysteries of our language. The same
idea is expressed in another idiom,
you've tipped up the apple cart" A
phrase that has an expressive meaning
is one which epitomizes whole volumes
of advice-"Keep stiff upper lip

An Almost Extinct Work of Art.

When | was youngster there was one al
most invariable work of art in every fami-
" that had ever lost one or more members.
This was a picture made out of the hair OF
the deceased. The designs of these grew
some memorials were always the same. A
man or woman made of hair was repre-
scented at grave made of hair under a
hairy weeping willow. Sometimes even
the sky and the distant landscape (Which
invariably included church and very
proper path leading straight to its door
were also constructed of the same material
At others they were limned upon the card
beard with water colors Watch guards,
necklaces, earrings and brooches were also
made of hair, and the business of contriv-
ing these devices must have been an active
one.
The introduction of the mortuary photo
graph chrome sent the hair artist to the
wall, but the species is by no means ex-
tinct yet. | met one the other evening
who was taking home the memorial of the
whole family of widow of wealth. He
told me that there were twenty odd people
represented in the material employed in
this masterwork. 1t was certainly melan-
choly enough to remind one of twenty fu-
nerals 1 tried to find out what such a feat
of genius was worth, but he declined to be
interviewed. He limited at hundreds of
dollars, but whether this meant what it
was worth in his estimation, or what he
was paid for it l could not define. l know
that thousands of dollars would not hire
me to live in a room where it hung upon
the wall.-New York Cor. Pittsburg Bull
