The Archduke's Experiment..

The friends of Archduke Joseph, of
Austria, have had much fun over the
results of his attempt to colonize his. es-
tates of Doboz and Koebel with gypsies.
During the spring and early summer
the tribes seemed perfectly happy in
their new homes, and the archduke was
jubilant. Harvest time and the daysfor
selecting recruits for the army came,
however. The gypsies, fearing work
and service, picked up their belongings
q few weeks ago and silently stole away.
When his imperial highness went QUITO
muster his gypsy colonists he found none
to greet him. He will not repeatssthe
experiment. The archduke is great
friend of the wandering people, under
stands their language and has written .
book about them.-New York Tribune.

Singing the Old Songs Once More


A sacred concert was given at Welsh
Run bunker church ON Sunday after
noon which brought together a large
and appreciative audience to hear some
of the old time singing teachers. These
were Professor 8 Solomon Bauaghhey. who.
for more than fifty years has been known
in southern Pennsylvania FOR his charm
ing voice, and in his younger years as a
most successful singing master; Jacob
Maugan, of Maugansville, Md, who in
1914, with Solomon Baughey, gave d
similar concert in the same building,
and Mr.. Myers, of Broad Fording, who
is also well known conductor. Each of
the gentlemen took the floor.
Ali of the dear old church hymns were
gone over. The large congregation,
which had been constituted the singing
class, united in the song service with
spirit. Professor Baughey is now well
advanced in years, but he still has a
sweet, melodious voice and the presence
and manner on the floor which have
never deserted him. There were many
parsons present from Maryland and
Pennsylvania. 1t was a notable occa-
sion and one that revived pleasant and
delightful recollections of We olden time.

NUISANCE LOTS.

Board OF Public Works WIN Not Grade the
Condemned Properties.
The nuisance lot question has been taken
hold of by the Board of Public Works in
earnest, and as a result over 300 of the con-
dcmned lots will not be graded until per-
sonal inspection by Chairman Winspear and
City Engineer Rosewater is made.
This is the carrying out of the plan mapped
out by the council and board and printed in
THE BEE two weeks ago. In the past tho
declaring of nuisances of lots was very
promiscuous and were acted upon by the
council and condemned without any regard
as to whether there was merit in the case or
not. As result of this proceeding the city
one day last winter found that IL had under
contract nearly 400 of these lots. Some one
objected to his lot being filled and this led
to an Investigation, which resulted in
City Attorney Conneu giving it as
his opinion that the proceedings had
been irregular and that in the future
the utmost care and caution should be OBJ
served in declaring lot a nuisance. The
attorney said that before u lot could be de-
clarod a nuisance there must exist stagnant
water on the same or there must be good and
sufficient proof that there is danger of stag
nant water existing, aud that where lots
were to be brought To grade the bank of
earth must be dangerous to life and limb
upon the street or alley the same abuts upon.
AS soon rs this opinion was rendered the
board stopped the contractors who were ac-
lively engaged in filling or bringing to grade
the lots that had been declared nusances
Since that time work of this nature has been
at Il st;tndstill. Under the provisions OF tho
now charter, before tho council can pass an
ordinance declaring u lot to bea nuisance
the chairman of the Board of Public Works
and the city engineer must make Il personal
inspection and certify that the lot is a nui-
sanco as it exists.
With these facts staring them in the face
the councilmen concluded that new steps
were necessary. The committee on judiciary
recommended, in accordance with the opinion
of Chairman Winspear, that new proceed
ings should be instituted. This will be done
and the contractors who had the lots in
question under contract have signed q
release of their ontracts, freeing tho city
from all obligations and liability
With the field now clear Chairman Win
spear and City Engineer Rosewater will inn
mediately make IA personal inspection of
the lots, and they hope to have their report
ready within ten days. New ordinances
will be prepared repenlng the former ones
and declaring such lots as they find tho
conditions to warrant to be nuisances.
These will Immediately go before the coun
ell, ana il is expected that within the next
six weeks several contracts will be
awarded and employment given to u large
number of men on this class of work.

NE.Y ENGLAND RdINMI X EItS.
Experiments at Hartford, Conn.-Almost
an Accident,

an Accident.
HARTFORD, Conn, Aug. 19.-The first ex-
pertinent in rain making in New England
was tried at Bloomfield this morning, when
several half-poupd dynamite cartridges W ere
sent up attached to fire balloons. After
several balloons had been successfully sent
up and exploded as preliminary tests, orders
were given to the experts TO send up the re-
mainder of the fifty balloons and cartridges
as quickly in succession as possible. The
next balloon was prepared and released. 1t
rose a dozen feet when 1t was caught in q
current of air and sagged. The paper near
loon began to descend while the flames
began to envelop 1t from bottom
to top. The mass of fire with
the dynamite cartridge dangling from it
created panic and scattered the crowd in
all directions. The long fuse kept eating its
way toward the bomb ana II would be at
least four minutes before the cartridge
would be touched off In th9regular way, but
there was danger that the fire from the bal
loon would ignite the fuse close to the
cartridge. MIR. Stephens and MIR. Chapel,
the experts in charge of the experiment,
kept their wits about them and, as soon as
the fuse could be reached, tore the cartridge
from the flames and the balloon sunk TO the
ground crumbled mass. 1t was decided
that ii would be too risky 10 have repeti
tion Of the accident with people standing
around In danger and the experiments were
cut short. No rain has fallen, but 1t is OK
pected the results of the experiment will be
made manifest within twenty-fou hours.

Skill of an Indian Soldier.
Tho fourth paragraph caused considerable
interest, referring as II did, to Sergeant
Fast Dog of the Sixth cavalry, who through
some Misunderstanding was sent to repre-
sent his troop in the tri-department cavalry
competition. Though barred, General Brooke
allowed him to enter the school with the
astonishing result that he stood No. 2la
out of list of 81 competitors with
the carbne and second yesterday with the
revolver, very remarkable record, which
goes largely to disprove the present theory
of the War department that the Indian will
not make good soldier.
After the reading of the orders General
Brooke took position in front of his support
ing officers and addressed himself to the
spShe spdsrs Of aFsMn . ae corps 's asd
marked that In no otheraa army in the world
could whites, colored and'indians be found
competing for medals appp the same grounds
of absolute equality. Healluded enpassant
to the animating spirit Of the soldier and
how these lessons in title of peace might
come useful in time of war, which sald the
general: II hope will never dawn upon
this fair land agaih." There was
patriotic sentiment throughout the short
address, his allusion tPthe CRAVING hairs OF
the men about him who represented the
spirit Of tine army bsfbg particularly grace
full. Then as each mans name was called
he came forward, wfile, General Brooke
pinned the medal upon his breast.
The officers Of the cdfhp had clubbed to
gether to purchase S@geant Fast Dog q
medal and when General Brooke presented
the unexpected trophXto the statuesqut
aborigne he said: "While you do not speak
our language am told ybh understand it.
want you to wear this medal as symbol Of
what the Indian can do under proper sur

against white and colored alike. i deeply
regret that you could not have been per

TO COOK POTATOES.
HOW 70 TREAT THEM IN SPRING.

At This season OF the year. when potatoes have
become somewhat rank and old. II Is always best 10
soak them for about three four hours In cod water
before pecing them. After this scrub them thor
ouchy with brush kept for th, purpose, throw them
into clear. cod water. and peel off piece oil sAln
about three quarters OF inch wide entirely around
the potato. Do not peel them entirely, but Gig out
any deep eyes. Put them In saucepan In cold water
never In boiling water at this season OF the year
and bring them slowly to the boiling point. COOK
them from 81 to 40 minutes after they have begun
10 boil. Then drain them.
After they are thoroughly drained from nll water
shake them brsldy In Il current OF cold air. This
process assists to make them meay. Cover them al
once with a kitchen towel, not putting on the
cover OF the saucepan, and place Tor hVe OF s'A
