VAN Allen IS AMBASSADOR,

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2o.--A curious
explanation Of the selection Of Mr.. Van

legations abroad. the post In Italy has
been for the last ten years most difficult

Old Fashioned BucE,,h.a, cak..

The old-fashioned rule for buckwheat
cakes is undoubtedly the best, and 1t
calls for four cupfuls of buckwheat, one
small cupful of Indian meal, an even
tablespoonful of salt, half cake of COM
pressed yeast. two cupfuls of water and
two cupfuls of milk, mixed together and
added when lukewarm. These cakes
must be mixed up over night and left
to rise till morning. In the morning
they should have risen and fallen back.
This condition of the batter may be told
by inspecting the sides of the dish, where
the mark to which the batter has risen
will be found. This would not be a de-
sirable state of things in the case of any
other batter, as it would indicate thai
1t was sour. but the slight acidity which
would exist in properly raised buck-
wheat batter, II 1t were not corrected
by soda. Is completely done away with

In half cupful of lukewarm milk. Is
put in in the morning, just before the
cakes are baked. When the soda is
added. the cakes should foam up like
yeast. BY the process given the cakes
will be very tender and rich brown.
This is caused by the use of milk.

Tn a Merican Kitchen.

A Mexican kitchen contains no cook

on one side Of the room a shelf is built
into the wall about breast high, on the
centre Of which . small fire burns built
of gnarled and knotty sticks, which
thrifty American housewives would con-

method Is varied by making a charcoal

smaller cooking utensils upon the

with an oven entirely, but where one is
used 1t is built Of mud either out of

WEEKS A CRIMINAL IN FACT.
But the Absconder says He 10 Only
Guilty OF Breach OF Trust.

Reports rea ched this city this morning
from Costa Rica that Francis II. Weeks
the absconder. has made a statement
to the effect that he is guilty OF nothing
criminal. He alleges he became involved
In attempting TO handle some OF his
big enterprises, and had used funds he
had no right to touch.
He says he is morally criminal but
at the most his action was only a
breach Of trust. He acknowledges, ac-
cording TO the report, that he is a
bankrupt and fed to escape exposure
and disgrace.
District-Attorney Nicoll. when spoken
TO regarding the alleged remarks Of
Weeks, said
II do not attach much Importance 70
these statements. he may not have
embezzled with any criminal intent. but
the fact still remains that he approprl-
ated to his own use funds which he had
no legal right to. They were merely
placed in his hands as "A trustee
As regards Weeks's extradition, MIR.
Ncoll said he had no doubt that the
absconder would be turned over to the

Fan Wreps for the Girls.

While heavy serges and smooth-faced
plain cloths are liked for cloaks or
coats, the large plaids. especially those
in golden brown and scarlet, are much
In vogue for general outdoor wear. The
children who go out to play in the fresh
air require comfortable cloaks that will
not easily soil, and although they need,
as do all ones belongings, a certain
amount Of care. still coat should be
possessed that does not make the little
wearer unhappy all the time. The
long plaid cloak. double-breasted. closed
by serviceable buttons, and with a cape
or a hood lined with bright color, is
a most desirable one for the sort of
wear that your little maid or mine will
give 1t when she Is out in the sunshine,
playing and romping, and in an uncon-
scious way realizing how good It Is to
be alive and we'll.

Peach jelly.

Rub the down from peaches that are
hardly ripe enough to eat with
cream, cut them in quarters
and save the pits. Crack one
quarter of the pits. add the kernels
to the fruit and cook slowly, closely
covered, until perfectly soft. Turn the
contents Of the kettle into a strong linen
bag. suspend the latter in a warm place
where 1t will hang free and drip. Press
against the sides of the bag with two
wooden spoons and move the contents
from one side to another, but do not
wiring or squeeze the bag with the
hands.
In measuring the fruit Juice add the
juice OF one lemon to every pint and
allow a pound of sugar to the same
amount. Set the sugar in the oven,
place the liquid over the fire and boil
steadily, uncovered, for twenty minutes.
Then add the hot sugar. stir we'll and
boil together five minutes. Strain a
second time through cheesecloth when
pouring 1t into the moulds. This Jelly
will not be firm enough to retain its
shape after being turned from the
mould. but no kind is more delicious for
cake.

nON.r WAIT.

1t has been suggested in many quarters
that the Exposition at Chicago be con-
tinued beyond the time named in the
law.
Can this be done? Does not the fact
that the time of the closing OF the
Fair is fixed by law preclude its con-
tinuance beyond the date named?
Possibly II every person concerned
should be willing and the exhibitors
should not remove their goods. the
Fair might remain open. But the COM
missions would all expire, Who would
be authorized to receive the entrance
money? Where would the funds come
from to pay such expenses as might be
incurred? Would not a settlement with
the bondholders be necessary up TO the
legal date OF closing?
Everybody who can see the Exposi-
ton ought to do SO. 1t is an event Of a
lifetime. Certainly none should post
pone their visit beyond the time fixed
by the law as the date of closing. and
our advice to all who can go is to go at
once.

A DARK HINT IN THE SENATE.
Can the Repeal Bill Be Displaced
as the Force Bill WASP
Some Older Senators Distsrbsd BY
the Remarks Of Mr.. Dubois.

| WASHINGTON, Sept 20.-The situa.
ton in Congress is becoming decidedly
dramatic. For the first time in the his
tory of the Government the spectacle IL
presented of both Houses In a deadlock
on different lines at the same time. and
each prepared to enter upon a struggle
OF physical endurance to accomplish the
purpose which the majority in either
chamber has In view.
The difficuities which the House will
encounter In the preliminary stages OF
debate on the Election bill are likely te
prove much less serious than those with
which the Senate has been struggling
for four weeks.
| The majority in the House has sim
ply to secure the presence Of quorum
of its own members and keep them In
attendance. and the Committee on
Rules, aided from the chair by the
Speaker, will do the rest.
| 1t Is far different in the Senate. An
| incident In yesterdays debate in that
body has been productive of much seri-
Gus comment outside the chamber. az
perhaps indicating a serious possibility
When Mr.. Dubois, of Idaho, rose. In
stead Of Mr.. Teller. to pick up the Voor'
hees gage OF battle, ne remarked sig
nincantly that even the silver Senators
might eventually be 80 overcome by
Administration influence as to be found
supporting the Democratic Senators In
their effort to pass the bill to repeal the
Federal Elections law.
That was the remark that disturbed
some of the Oldest Senators. The infer
ence they draw from 1t Is that the silver
Senator's hope to protract the debate
until the House has passed the Tucker
bill and then join hands with the South
ern Democratic Senators In voting to
take It up in the Senate, and thus dis
place the Silver Repeal bill, just as the
Force bill was displaced in a former
Senate after being discussed for fifty
days.
Meanwhile, in both houses, all gen
eral legislation will remain suspended
until a conclusion Is reached on the
entwined with each other-the repeal OF
the Sherman law and OF the Fedora
Election legislation.
The Introduction Of bills goes on, but
the committees simply receive them ir
