Remarks.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Au Associated
Press reporter called on General Benjamin
F. Tracy, ex-secretagy of the navy, and
read cablegram from London in reference
to what Gladstone said about him in reply
to lord George Hamilton when the alter
quoted Tracy as having said that England
would require to he building nineteen
battleships within the next two years in
order to maintain her position. The Lon
don Globes defense of Tracy against Mr..
Gladstone's attack was also read to the
general. While the reporter was reading
the ex-secretary laughed heartily, and in
reply to the reporters query, he said:
We'll, don't see that the matter calls for
any comment on my part, as think the
Globe has done that for me.
Gives the G. o. NJ. Some Advice.
However, will say that if Mr.. Glad
stone studies the condition of the French
and Russian nayies he will learn-if he is
not already aware of it-that am right in
the statement which Lord George Hamil-
ton quoted. Two years from now France
and Russia will have combined fifty mod
ern battleships of 10000 tons displace-
ment, against England's thirty-one of 3l4,-
0c0 tons displacement. Now, Mr.. Glad
stone can figure for himself if England's
thirty-one are superior to the fifty have
spoken of. l sec Mr. Gladstone says that
the material of the English navy is superior
to that of France and Russia. I differ
with him, as believe the French battle
ships are superior to the English, both in
guns and armor."

From the Cleveland

From the Cleveland (Ohio)
Leader is taken the following note
of warning to young girls who may
have tempting offers of situations
in Chicago during the Worlds Fair
"from many reliable sources come
grave warnings to girls and young
women who contemplate going to
Chicago this summer to secure en-
ployment and thus get q chance to
see the Fair and make some money
besides. Scores of the advertise.
ments which are inserted in many
country newspapers for help, promis-
ing light, pleasant employment to
young women and girls, are the
lures of the procurer and will doubts
less drag many innocent young per-
sons into dens of vice and iniquity.
1t is true there is an abnormal de-
mand for help in Chicago this sum
mer, but the young woman who an
swers an advertisement and goes to
the city without having proof of the
character of her employer is very
apt to step into a pitfall. Every
paper in the country should hasten
to publish warning. It is a part
of the duty of the public press to
protect as far as possible the honest,
well-meaning working girls of their
communities, and to put them on
their guard against such q fate"

ga workman" writes to the New
York Sapa as follows: "Do | under
stand you to advocate a duty on tea,
coffee and sugar Is this the
scheme by which we working peo.
pie are to be benefited !? Will you
please inform how much work the
average workman will save in year
when the tariff is taken off foreign
manufactured goods and CORES
ponding duty is placed on tea, cof-
fee and sugar." To this the Sun
replies that the people of the United
States last November, by their votes,
decreed that the protection tariff
system should be abolished and q
tariff for revenue substituted, and
the experiment must therefore be
tried whatever the consequences.
This is cool comfort for the average
workman who has been enjoying
untaxed sugar, tea and coffee and
who does not care for the expensive
foreign manufactures on which high
duties are paid; and, moreover
whose wages have been kept up by
the same system that gives him IN
taxed coffee, tea and sugar. There
is no certainty, however, that the
Democratic party will carry out the
extreme tariff policy embodied in its
platform.

MANY FUNERALS AT WASHINGTON.
The Victims Of Fridays Disaster at
Rest.

WASHINGTON, June l1.-The re-
mains of the dead victims of the
horrible wreck of Ford's theatre
Friday have nearly all been dis
posed Of Washington was to-day
city of funerals, and all day long
mourners have gone about the
streets. Every one knew what the
sad professions meant, and the sym
pathy of all was extended, albeit
unexpressed in many cases, to the
sorrowing, stricken ones. Inquiries
confirm the statement that none oil
the victims were men of property
Most of the men lived on their sal
aries, which furnished means o1
livelihood, but left little for day
like this. Most of them were mar
ried, and some had large families
who are now left, if not entirely de
pendent upon friends and relatives
at least lacking in funds for inn
mediate relief.
THE DISTRICT ATTORNEYS POSITION.
"If the Coroner's jury finds q
verdict involving criminality, it will
be my duty to report the matter to
the Grand Jury for investigations
and action" said District Attorney
Firney, "indictments will probably
follow, unless it is found that the
blame is so distributed as to make
such course impossible. This
might be the case, if it was the be-
lief of the jury, that Congress, fol
instance, is the blame worth party.
I have taken no action in this un.
fortunate matter, and cannot do Sc
until ater the inquest. shall how
ever, send one of my assistants to
attend the Coroner's inquiry and
make such suggestions as appear
necessary as to the course of the
investigation and the witnesses to
be examined. You may be sure
that we will follow the cases slowly
I see that the War Department is to
have an Investigation of its own.
The result of this, taken with the
findings of the Coroner's inquest.
will be of value to me in case oil
criminality being established against
any one. Between the two investi-
cations it ought to be possible to
fix the blame"

Revival of the Dutch oven.

81. LOUIS GiODe-DeInOcTdI
A revival of an old fashion in the shape
CT an exterior oven Is now to be seen "a
some Of our smart country houses. Few
housekeepers since the days of the old
fashioned brick oven realize the value and
convenience OF a special oven. Ii is not in
the nature of things that the stove, or
range, which is used also for broiling, roast
ing, boiling and frying can respond at all
times as satisfactorily to its duties as baker.
When the oven is in use there is a tendency
to draw the heat from the top or the oven
wholesome bread as the old-time brick
oven. 1t is strange that this convenience
cause is, OF course, proverbial American
love Of "modern improvements" and haste
ORDER to be on with the new. There is,
however, as said above, a revival at lux
urious country places OF the separate oven
as q convenience of the kitchen, wheth-
er it is a brick oven or the newer
iron oven. 1t is found that pastry is
baked in a much more satisfactory manner
in one OF these ovens than in any stove
oven. Bread is sweeter baked in a brick
oven, and Boston beans, old-time Indian
buildings, the delicious plum cakes OF our
grandmothers' days all owe their special
sweetness 10 the slow, uniform heat which
can only be obtained in perfection in a
brick oven. A small brick oven about two
feet square is sufficient for the needs of a
small family. Such an oven requires con-
siderable space, as the walls should be at
least twelve inches thick, and the pile OF
masonry which forms the base should be
several feet above the ground and built
with a strong foundation. such an oven
may be built with a CRATE, so that il can be
heated from underneath, either with coal
or wood, or ii may be made in the old-time
way, where the fire is built directly on the
oven bottom. 1t takes an expert workman
who understands the building of bakers
ovens to do the work, in order that the
fues, may be built correctly and the proper
draughts be secured. In the simplest form
of the oven q fire of hardwood kindlings is
made on the oven floor and allowed TO burn
down to an ash. Then the oven is cleared
out with shovels and a long brush kept for
the purpose. The pastry, which requires
a strong heat, is the first thing baked after
the heat is tested. 1t is possible, by use OF
an oven thermometer, TO ascertain the eX-
act degree of heat. The bread is baked
after the pastry, and after the bread the
beans, the buildings, or anything that re-
quires a long, slow neat. This slow, contin-
uous heat cannot be obtained as well in
the iron oven, because it cools off quicker
than in the brick oven. The cheapest Of
iron ovens cost $25, and something more
when set in place. a good brick oven may
be built of hard brick for SIS or $50. The
special value of such an oven is felt in the
summer time, as it may be built in a court
adjoining an outside chimney so that
none of the heat of the baking is felt in
the house, and the kitchen may be kept
comparatively cool.

deferred from building by reason Of the
cost of the cutting apparatus and power to
run il. No farmer need be deferred from
building a silo by this consideration. "A
good silo will keep uncut just as well as
cut corn. Within a week / heard a mar
who keeps fifty cows say: What's the use
of cutting the corn. If it keeps just as we'll
whole?" And he went on TO tell how green
and nice his whole corn came out of the
silo. 1 have found just two difficulties in
the way OF putting up whole ensilage. One
is the difficulty of raising the heavy corn
from the wagon over the top Of the silo.
This. / have overcome by using a hay car
TieF and track with a trip hook and short
sings. This enables me to take the whole
corn from the wagon and place IL in the
silo by horse power. The other difficulty is
that one cannot take a few inches off the
top of the pit daily and the ensilage is more
likely to spoil, unless the silo is small and
the number of cattle quite large. In such a
case enough could be taken daily from the
entire top to prevent its spelling. But if
there is not stock enough TO eat what can
be taken from the entire surface of the silo.
il should be kept covered. This will make
extra work, but 1T will prevent loss.
l like to cut the corn a few days before I
put it into the silo. This gives it an oppor-
tunity to dry somewhat. II it is allowed
to get too dry, it will spoil. Also * is best
to I'LL slowly so that the ensilage can get
settled a good bit before one finishes filing.
When filled quite rapidly it settles about
One-third.
