Cream Biscuits.

The secret of discriminating is pre-
cision and dispatch. Laggards and
lazy people are not successful biscuit
makers. The best cooks always say
that they simply throw their biscuits
together, and certainly they are not
long about it. The cause of success is
that biscuits begin to bake before the
effervescent qualities of the powder or
o are exhausted. They are live bis
cults, and are as light and puffy as
beaten eggs. The best biscuits are
rather small. The very large me are
not likely to be quite so light. They
should be baked in a rather quick oven,
and, to be perfect, are a yellowish
brown. They must be thoroughly
lone through, or they are the most
unpalatable and unwholesome articles
OF the bread kind.-N. Y. Ledger.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
A New Plan Submitted Looking to an
Early Completion.
Commander Taylor of the United States
Navy Advises the Establishing of Blu
rears to Arouse Interest in the Matter.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Commander II.
G. Taylor of the United States navy has
submitted to the directory of the Nicara-
qua Canal company plan looking to the
early Inauguration and completion OF the
enterprise. The commander was former
ly ce-president and general manager of
the canal, but has not been actively con-
nected with the enterprise since 1890.
The s'plan, - he said, is nothing more
or less than the building of the great
waterway by the people of the United
States themselves in individual capaci-
ties as investors and capitalists and not
through money counters. l have advised
the company to issue propaganda to
persons OF all sorts and conditions within
the United States stating the benefits OF
the canal, and certainty of its being built,
and the assured returns to investors. .
The best way would be to establish
bureaus in sixty OF the principal cities OF
the United States from whence a regular
campaign can be carried on, pamphlets
distributed, lectures sent ont and other
means adopted to stir up and sustain the
interest in the project. confidently be-
lieve that $50, 000,000 can be raised in this
way through the sale of bonds to the peo-
pie in less than six months, and this $40,
600, 900 will be sufficient to insure the
completion of the canal.
''The money to be raised by the propa-
ganda is to be applied to the construction
of the canal at once. 1t is to be built ard
built quickly. Ii we cannot build q
thirty foot canal we will build twenty
five-foot one. We will have canal that
will admit ships passing through it from
tho Atlantic to the Pacific and vice versa

CURIOUS POINT RAISED.
Can q Deputy Coroner Conduct
an Inquest?
A VERY PECULIAR CASE.
The Matter Comes Up Over the FOrd's
Theatre Victims.
No Dead Body Has Been Viewed by q
Legally Constituted Coroner's Jury
Colonel Ainsworth's Petition
for Mandamus Dismissed.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE district
supreme court this morning dismissed
Ainsworth's petition for mandamus on
two grounds. First, holding that the
deputy corner is not legal officer which
invaJidates the inquest so far held; Sec
ond, the right OF a person to be present
at the inquest in person or by counsel is
discretionary with the coroner, and
therefOrn not subject for mandamus
In Difference to the decision OF the su-
preme court, Deputy Coroner Shaffer,
who has been conducting the inquest on
the Ford theatre victims, adjourned the
proceedings until tomorrow. The cur
lous point now developes that no dead
body has been viewed by a legally con-
stituted coroner's Jury. Unless one of
the injured victims dies, it will be neces-
sary to exhume body.
The commissioners of the district de-
cided this afternoon to order a new in
quest, and directed Mr.. Thomas, attor-
ney for the district, to assist Coroner
Patterson in conducting it. in view OF the
latter's ill health. 1t was ascertained
that the bodies OF Messrs. Lotus and
Pagan were still in the vault at Glenwood
| cemetery, hence one OF the bodies will be
viewed by the jury tomorrow and the in
quest begun anew with the same jury re-
summoned.
Just how far the acts of Deputy Coroner
Shaffer, prior to this decision, will be in
validated, is rath er a curious question.
1t is believed that nothing serious Will re-
suit, however. A number OF clerks who
worked in the wrecked building have ex-
pressed desire to be heard in Colonel
AinsWorth's behalf.

WIRE NAIL COMPANY ASSIGNS.
The Largest Nail Mandatory in the

The Largest Nail Mandatory in the
Country is Closed.
CLEVELAND, June 14.-Baacke's Wire
Nail company, one OF the largest concerns
of the kind in the country, has assigned.
Inability to raise money to meet maturing
paper was the sole cause of the failure.
The Liabilities are only S225, 900, while the
assets reach 5000, 600. The company is
one OF the largest manufacturers of wire
nails in the United States and is backed
by capitalists OF Cleveland worth millions
of dollars Mr.. Baackes, vice president
and founder of the concern, is one of the
pioneers Of the wire nail business of the
country.
President Lockwood of the concern
said: eve simply got under cover to
keep the creditors from slaughtering us
with attachments. We can pay IS for
every 81 we owe. The assignment is not
because of insolvency. On ordinary oc-
casions we would have paid with 2 per
cent. off but the tightness of the money
market caught US. The principal
creditor is Mailer & Company, New York
and Philadelphia, from whom we have
bought millions of dollars worth of steel
and always paid them. They refused to
grant US an extension and insisted on the
individual security of the stockholders. -

RED, WHITE AND BLUE
Celebrating the Anniversary Of the
Adoption OF the American Flag.
One Hundred and Sixteen Years Ago Yes.
terday the First Stars and Stripes
Were Unfurled.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-ESpecial. lat
of Colonial Wars, the Worlds fair in
Chicago and the schools of almost half
the country are today celebrating the
Columbian year anniversary of the adop-
ton of the American flag. About five or
six years ago the public schools in Massa-
chusetts, at the suggestion of the board
of education, began to celebrate the ami
declamations, others with appropriate
historical papers, professions and singing
of patriotic songs. From the Old Bay
state the innovation spread rapidly
through the New England states until
now it has become practice, and almost
all the district and many of the private
New England schools commemorate the
day in one way or another. Many of the
western and some of the southern states
officially recognize the day. Individual
teachers in other states proceed on their
own initiative and pay tribute in diver
sity of manners to the occasion, many of
them receiving assistance from local posts
of the Grand Army of the Republic.
Early in June, 1777, while wild runnors
of an invasion from Canada by an i'm
menSe army uQO6r burROyne ana Oh q
movement by Lord Howe on the Quaker
city itself were circulating, COMMITTEES
was appointed to study designs for ma
tional flag. Concerning the memb ership
of this committee little is actually known.
Still this much is history, that stern old
John Adams, the austere Puritan OF
whilom Massachusetts Bay colony, was
its master spirit.
After numerous sessions, during which
the banners of various colonies and the
representations of the larger colonies in
the Continental army was carefully scru-
tinized, the committee made its report
on the memorable June ID, the coming
anniversary of the brilliant NapoleoniC
victories of Marengo ana Friedland and
OF the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe. II
recommended:
'sThat the flag OF the thirteen United
States be thirteen stripes, alternate red
and white; that the union be thirteen
stars, white in blue field, representing
a new constellation. -
This report was accepted unanimously
and without discussion. A sample flag
was made at once of silk and was dis
played in Congress. The blue union
was made square, reaching to the eighth
stripe. Its thirteen stars were arranged
as the circumference of circle. Records
of the session OF the Flag Committee are
wanting, and consequently some points
about the details of our national ensign
are matters open to question, though
most were explained by subsequent
statements.

scribed his visits to the Borden house and
the conversation with the prisoner, in

pected, when she told billiard that she
was in the barn when the murders were
committed. Cross examination developed
nothing new.

in speaking of Mrs. Borden to Lizzie,
she referred to her as the latter's mother.

and l don't have much to do with her. -
Lizzie further said that she stayed in her
room at home, and while eating at the
same table, never took their meals to-
gether.
Anna II. Borden gave no material testi-
mony. Then came six witnesses who
were in the neighborhood the morning

PACIFIC COAST RATES.
The Cut by the Great Northern Is An

The Cut by the Great Northern Is An
nounced.
ST. PAUL, Mimi, June 14.-The Great
Northern railway gives the following
statement in explanation OF the cuts IN
rates to all western points: Con the 9TH
inst. lines competing for north Pacific
coast passenger traffic were notified of
our dissatisfaction with the conditions
under which said traffic was being
handled for the reason that 70 to so per
cent. of the business was being carried
upon ii second class basis, indicating that
large percentage of this second class
business was only so in name and direct
result of unnatural conditions.
A conference was requested Of the sew
eral interested parties who failed to at
tend. On the 18th inst. our representa-
tive met some of the interested parties,
but this conference was not productive of
any satisfactory results. 1t was not to be
expected, therefore, that in the Inaugural
ting of our through service we would pro-
vide a higher basis of rates for first class
travel than has prevailed by lines of our
competitors. and we therefore announce
that our basis of first class rates will be
the rate at which travel is carried in tour
ist cars.
We further believe, for essentially class
travel, JnaI q rate SnOulQ De maze west
bound contemplating reasonable accom-
modations. Therefore, effective on the
18th instant, the following rates will be
made from our eastern terminals to
Northern Pacific coast points:
First class, $50; second class, S25. To
Spokane, first class, $50; second class,
$40. Helena and Butte, first class, $25;
second class, $18. First class rates will
apply in both directions; second class,
west bound only.
| Tickets at these rates will be limited to
continuous passage. This reduction in
rates is apparent in saying that the cut in
| first-cIass ticket rates to Seattle and other
coast points is S25 and for second class
$40.
To Spokane the cut in first-class ticket
| rates is $3.50; second-class S13.
| To Helena and Butte frst-class SIS;
seond-class S.. The equipment on the
trains will be new. consisting of first and
second-class coaches, free coloDist cars,

cars and tirst-claSs siaepers.'

THE GEARY Law.
Congressman Campbell Thinks 1t Wise
Piece of Legislation.

Congressman Campbell Thinks 1t Wise
Piece of Legislation.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-Congressman
Tim Campbell of New York has just re-
turned from the Pacific Coast. He spent
several weeks in that section and devoted
a great deal OF his time to the study OF
the Chinese evil as it at present exists
there. AS result of his investigation
the New York congressman is more than
ever stanch supporter of the Geary ex-
clusion law. He voted for the Geary bill
in the House, and says now that he is
very glad he did. He wants to see it en-
forced to the letter and declares it is a
shame that it is not already in operation.
sMr. Campbell added: s'All l saw and
heard confirmed me in the belief that the
Geary act is a wise piece of legislation
and l am glad | voted for it. l think this
is sure to be the conclusion of every in
telligent observer who will go to the slope
and note the existing conditions
The officials of this government do not
as yet show any indications that the
Geary act will be put into effect. The
general opinion among all the members
of Congress here is that the president
and those under him who are charged
with the enforcement of the law propose
to take no action whatever until Congress
meets. Their evident intention is to
shift their responsibility upon Congress
if it is possible to do so.

Argument in the Case Will Soon
Be Concluded.
OFFICERS COMING HOME.
Decision Is Expected to Be Announced
Early in August.
Major Halford Will Soon Be Relieved
from Further Duty with the Tribu-
nal and Ordered to Regular
Duty IN the Army.

WASHINGTON, June 14.-Oficials at the
state department are of opinion that argu
ments before the Behring sea arbitration
will be concluded within the next ten
days and with the exception of General
Agent Foster, all officers connected with
the American case will return to the
United States. 1t is also expected that
the decision of the arbitrators will be an
nounced by the 1st of August.
The approaching return of the delega-
ton accounts for the rumor that Major E.
w. Halford will be relieved from further
duty with the tribunal and ordered to
regular duty in the pay department of the
army. Major Halford is acting under
orders from the secretary of state, and
when relieved of special duty is to take a
station at st. Paul, MINI. Such were
the original orders, and they have not
been changed in any respect.

York, Raided.
NEW YORK, June IA. "A run was
started on I-vings Savings Institution this
morning as soon as the doors opened,
and twenty minutes after the bank was
opened the paying teller had paid out
s., 600. A speculator was on hand offer
ing to buy up all the books he could get
for 10 per cent. commission. Treasurer
Latimer SAID the bank had on hand a
million dollars and could get that much
more at moments notice if necessary.
This is the bank in which Superinten-
dent Preston. discovered a deficiency OF
$40, 800 yesterday.
This afternoon, Superintendent of State
Banks Preston made the following state
ment: 1.-THE directors of the institution
We're adverse to making the condition Of
affairs public, fearing the run would hurt
the banks standing, but l advised them
to take the public into their confidence.
The run Will probably be over by tomor-
row, when the solvency OF the bank be-
comes generally KNOWN
The shortage may be larger than already
announced, as the channels through
which the money disappeared are not all
discovered. There may be other dishonest
officials than the three mentioned last
night. No arrests have yet been made.

Two of Them Charged with Perjury in
Filing Bills.

Filing Bills.
BOISE. Ida, June 14.-LSpecial. lit
transpires that at a session of the United
States district court at Moscow, the grand
jury indicted Robert Dryden, former
deputy marshal. and Ed Minis, who at
tanned notoriety in Kootenai county last
fall on a charge of ballot box stuffing.
The charge upon which indictments rest
is that Dryden presented and collected a
bill in the name of, and signed by Minis,
for services as a guard at the time of the
C9ur d'Alene trouble. Minis did not
perform the service alleged. He has adj
mittad that he signed the bill, but claimed
he did so without knowing what it was.
The Indictment Is for perjury on ac-
count of having been sworn to. Both
men are out OF the country. Minis is
supposed to be in SLOGAN, but Dryden's
whereabouts is unknown. Both got wind
of the proceedings and disappeared, and
the officers have kept the matter quiet
hoping to get their hands on them.
