The wild Cossacks, living away down in
the southermost part Of the Russian en-
pire, spend most of their time harassing
the Turks. They are peculiarly savage in
coat, full trousers, scarlet undercoat hooked
up to the neck, big boots, and as an over
coat they wear bourka, circular cloak
made of coarse felt, with long shaggy hair
on one side of It, This cloak is big enough
TO cover the rider and much of the horse.
The most distinctive point in their dress,
however, Is the cylindrical hat of black
astrakhan which they wear at all seasons
The top is of cloth or velvet. They form
part of the Russian cavalry and live prin-
cipally on plunder.-St. Louis Republic.

Met His Death.


Met His Death.
PORTSMOUTH. N. H.. Sept 0.-Coroner
Tohn II. Lyder Is Investigating the recent
death OF the United States marine. Pat
rick ]. Padden, late of Woonsocket. X l.,
whose dead body was found floating In
the river. and whose death the doctors
pronounced was due to violence.
A number of witnesses have been ex-
amined. among them Il. Lydston. In
whose saloon ia Pen Hallow street Pad
den was last seen. Lydston said the
trouble there was not serious, and that
Padden was in no way injured. lie au-
mitted that Padden purchased half q pint
OF rum in the place.
Another witness was Martin Carney.
keeper of the famous "toboggan shde
saloon in Green street. 1t has been sup
posed by many that 1t was here that
Padden had fight and was badly IN
jured, IL not killed. Carney denied tnat
he even knew Padden, and said he was
not in his house on the night in question
and that he did not know that he had
ever been there.
Other witnesses testified to the move
ments of Padden on the day OF his disap-
pearance, but there seems TO be little OF
nothing to give the officers clue in work
ing on the case. The jury found that Pad
den came to his death by violence at the
haGds of some person or persons un'
known. All trace Of Padden seems to
have been lost from the moment he left
the saloon in Pen Hallow street. and un-
less something entirely unexpected
turns up there is little hope Of fixing the
responsibility for the crime.

MANY HAVE COMPLIED.

Local Cinnamon Not Afraid of the En-
forcement of the Geary Law.
The Chinese who re in this country
have not,up to date, seemed to care much
for the Geary law, owing TO the fact
that only about $1,000 were
In the hands of the officials to be used in
sending them to their native land. At a
cabinet meeting recently. IL was decided
to enforce the deportation clause
OF the Geary exclusion act and
an extra appropriation will be
asked for. and from now until this ap-
preparation is made the Chinese will not
trouble themselves about the matter. In
Philadelphia where the law is being en-
forced under the act OF 1882, the cost is
s35 per head in blocks Of five. this can be
reduced by making the blocks larger.
So far as this district is concerned the
cost will not be great, for as near as can
be learned there are only about 1870 celes-
tials here and Of that number sixty
eight have complied with the law. Those
who have not do not seem to care whether
they are sent home or not,
as they are what might be termed the
trampelem In this state the leaders
have made every effort to have their coun-
trymen comply with the law.
A reporter called upon several leading
Cinnamon this morning and they were
asked what they thought of the proposed
movement on the part of the
government. AS those called upon had
complied with the law they said they
were not interested in the matter
and that to those who had not
complied 1t did not make
any difference what became of them. for
as general thing they did not amount
to much, neither here nor in their own
country.

Hints From Country Gentleman.

Food spoils much more quickly in damp,
muggy weather than in a much higher
temperature, IL dry.
Open vessels containing charcoal placed
in refrigerator or other closet where food
Is kept will do much to keep it dry and
sweet. The charcoal should be renewed at
least every fortnight
An open vessel Of drinking water placed
in the Zee chamber Of a refrigerator is sure
TO absorb odors from the food below. Put
the water IN bottles, or, what is more con-
venient, In glass screw top fruit jars.
Water pitchers and all dishes In which
drinks or food are TO be served cold should
be placed In the ice chest an hour before
they are needed.
All fruits should be served as cold and
fresh as possible and with granulated
rather than powdered sugar
The down on peaches is poisonous to some
people and should be carefully wiped of.
This fruit locks far more tempting cut In
