GOLD IN BANANAS.

If Colonel Sellers had only turned his
attention to the banana instead of to eye
water he might have done something and
not been obliged to use his gorgeous imag-
gination 30 recklessly. They do say that
there is m uch in the banana that has not
yet been utilized, and a company with q
large capital has been formed in New York
for the purpose of turning the banana into
gold. One of the products it will
turn out will be banana meal.
The meal is made from the unripe
banana, and by the process now
discovered will keep, it is claimed, as long
as flour. The producing power of the
banana is 30 great, forty-four
times as great as the potato, that
this new discovery Is most
important one with regard to the price Of
that food in which the poor are most
interested, for it is confidently expected
that the meal will soon lower the
present price of bread. The Ger
msu interest in manufacturing the
banana into sausage is also de.
clareo 10 De perfectly IeaslDle. IN THIS case
the ripe banana is used and charged with
condensed milk and then put up in tins.
Already some of the largest canning facto
ries have begun to make this commodity
one of the features of their business. This
banana-sausage is even more nutritious

A WORRIED QUAKER.
He Intercedes for PIttsburg Outcasts
in Humanity's Name in
BEHALF OF PHILADELPHIA LADIES
Two Letters Indited, One to Mayor Gourley,
Another to NcCrOry.
HOW THE SAVIOR TREATED THE ERRING

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-Two open let
lers have been sent from this city by NJ. R.
Palmer to Pittsburg, relative to the threat
ened wholesale raiding in that city OF dis
orderly houses and turning the unfortun-
ate inmates into the street. The first is ad-
dressed to Mayor Gourley, OF Pittsburg,
and reads:
Iwrite for the Woman's Representation
ofPhiladelpnia, TO ask you If the thought OF
the mother who gave you birth, the wife
who bears your honored name, and. per-
chance, a fair young daughter or sister,
who, but for your protecting care
might be in the same position, did
not give you the courage to refuse to
violate your manhood, all the instincts OF
humanity, and turn helpless women into
the street, pennfless and with no place to
rest their weary heads. As members Of the
Woman's Progressive Union of Pniladel-
phia, we protest against your act as ungen-
erous, unjust and unworthy OF the high
office you hold.
The second letter is addressed to Rev. j.
P. McCrory. 1t runs as follows:
As the representative of the womsn's
Progressive Union of Philadelphia, would
like to ask one question of the reverend
gentleman who is wnging war against weak,
lowly Nazarene, the "Man of sorrow and ac-
quaInted with grief, according to the teach
ings of the churches, come to seek and to
save that which was lost? Did he not seek out
this very class of women, not to upbraid,
not to taunt them with their weakness and
vaunt His own p1ety and strength, put by
His gentleness, His love. His knowledge OF
the frailities of human kind, and His God
like compassion for them, seek to give
them hope OF better things, to hit
them out OF the depths up to the
heights of spirituality "Neither do con-
denim them' were the words of this loving
teacher. sis the servant better than his
Lord?''
And 1 would, also, like to know where the
fallen men are-those who are co-guilty with
these sister women. Have they been turned
from their homes, left to the tender ~ per-
cies of pharisaical world, unprotected,
ostracised outcastsH Is the gentleman sure
that some of them may not be found in the
sanctuary under the drapings of the gospel?
We, the women OF the Progressive Union,
protest with our woman's hearts against
this unmanly, inhuman, uR-Christlike perse-
cution OF unfortunates who are more sinned
against than SHINING.

The Late Statesman's Financial Troubles
Pursuing His Widow.
PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 3.-Suit was be-
gun to-day by the Commonwealth, at the
suggestion of Annie H. Stfoup, admins
tratri1 of John Stroup,. against Fannie W.
Randall, administrative OF Samuel j. RAN
dali, deceased, Dallas Sanders and William
McMullen under an interesting claim. On
the records of the District Court there ap-
peared two judgments against the late Con-
gressman Randall, one tor So, 735 16 as sur
Viving William S. Randall, trading as Ran
dali and Meredith; and second for So,
019 "a as surviving w. S. Randall, who
was sued with Sullivan and Meredith, trad
ing as Randall & Meredith. The judg-
ments were obtained by Heron Martin, to
the use of John Stroup, surviving partner
of the firm of Stroup & Bros.
During all these years the judgments
have been revived from time to time, and
upon the death of J John Stroup his admins
tratrix, the present plaintiff, appeared as
claimant on their records. After Congress

claims the full amount OF the judgment, not
only from Mrs Randall, but from MessrS

Randall has broken the conditions of the
administratrix's bond by not filing the in
ventory OF her husbands estate or account

HE'S NOT A CANDIDATE FOR ANYTHING

ESPECIAL TELEGIAM TO THE DISPATCH
COLUMBUS, O., Dec IA great deal of
speculation is being INDUCED in just nov
as to who will control the Federal patronage
in Ohio-Brice or Campbell It developed
in talk with Governor Campbell this
evening that there would be no conflict
He says in districts represented by Demo-
cratic Congressman they will have control
except the President in special cases has
reasons to act contrary to their wishes, but
in districts represented by Republican
Congressman the Democratic Senator from
the State has charge, if there is one, and in
this instance Senator Brice would be the
controlling spirit
Under the rules of Senatorial courtesy,
Mr. Campbell states Mr.. ,Brice will have
the final recommendations in Republican
districts, and this will include Hamilton
county, where they have no Democratic
Congressman. As he now. holds no office,
the Governor states it would not be proper
for him to interfere with the Prerogative
which belongs to others If Senator Brice
wants any advice from him he thinks he
will ask Tor it
1He leItcIS OF TequesI anu &PPiiSosLou
have piled in upon Mr.. Campbell so fast
that he has been required to keep STEM
ographer to furnish replies. To-day he
sent out stereotyped letter to applicants
in which he set forth his views and i'm
pressed his friends with the fact that the
distribution n patronage is fixed matter.
and that the Congressman and Senators
would have charge. He positively refuses,
even as citizen, to make any recommen-
dations for postmasters in different parts OF
the State.
As to whether he would accept position
in the Cabinet, the ex-Gover said: cat the
risk of being charged with indelicacy 1
must repeat that l do not desire Cabinet
position or any other Office under the ad-
ministration; that positively conld not
accept if tender were made. NY business
affairs will require my attention for the
next few years, and it shall be given
them"
In reply to question as to whether he
would accept nomination for Governor
against Mckinley, Campbell said he would
not make the race under any circumstances,
and would not accept nomination If 1t
were rendered him.

MURPHY AROUSED.

Declares He Won't Be SIandered-W1l
Hold Reception to Outcast Women at
Lafayette Hall Tuesday Afternoon
Last Nights Lively Meeting.
"A crowded house greeted Francis Murphy
at Lafayette Hall last night. A large
number of persons signed the pledge.
The most interesting portion of the meet
ing was when Mr. Murphy replied to the
alleged remarks of Rev. E R. Donehoo at
the conference between Mayor Gourley and
the ministers on Friday, when Mr.. Donehoo
is said to have remarked that Francis
Murphy was fraud.
, In the course of his address last night,
Mr.. Murphy said: Il don't see how Mr.
Donehoo can find it in his heart as Chris
tian to say that I am fraud. He may
have chance to prove his staGments now.
1t may be of no Importance to him, but 1t
is to me that my good name is at stake. 1
have been slandered quite enough here in
my own home
Mr.. j. McCreery here said he begged
leave to say that he did not. think Mr.
Donehoo had made the remarks credited to
him though he had not seen the newspapers
AT this j. M. Kelly and number of
others in various parts of the hall jumped
to their feet and vigoursly defended Mr.
Murphy at the same time severely criticising
Mr.. Doneboo. In the course OF
their remarks some of the speakers
said that Mr.. Donehoo's methods of keep
ing himself before the public were exceed
ingly well known. The scorching was Sc
we're, and was interrupted by Mr.. Murphy
saying: 81 don't care what Mr. Donehoo
says about Francis Murphy. 1
am not here to brag. I have
known Francis Murphy a good many
years and 1 know he is decent man. "
Continuing, he said that on Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock in Lafayette Hall he
wants to meet the women who have been
cast out of society and are now about to be
cast out of shelter. He wants to meet them
as father; they we're his children, he said,
and he wants to counsel with them. No
other women are invited.

we're numerous and good j. Johnston, q
Homestead striker, said he had been told
BY a saloonkeeper to join the Murphy

was only a beginner at water, but he would

stated that 277 inmates had taken the

case will be taken to the Supreme Court
