THE ATCHISON RAPE FlEND.
Negroes Arm Themselves tn Prevent
His Lynching.

Atchison. Kan, Nov. 1S.-The negroes
armed themselves early this morning to
prevent the threatened lynching of the
negro Collins. the suspect rapist. Soon
after o'clock Police Sergeant Donohue
found about 80 negroes armed with shot
guns and revolvers in an alley back OF
Banker Clark's residence. He ordered
them to dispense, but they refused TO obey
and detied him to arrest them. With
augmented forces the crowd soon sur
rounded the Jail shouting that Collins
should not be lynchcd. The sheriff also
went out to the Jail with strong force
to protect the prisoner. At daylight the
crowd dispersed. The talk of lynching
is frequently heard. but no mob has gath.

And now the wheels of business and en-

being impeded with partisan obstacles.
The Democrats will claim that this re-

the tariff and the Republicans will de-
clare it is because of a promise of Rcpub-
lican rule. 1t don't make much difference

Such a struggle may occur next year
With the POpulists holding the balance Of
votes it is entirely possible that there may
be a long and determined deadlock. The
Democrats are now seeking comfort from
certain utterances of Senator Stewart, who
saws that the Populists will hold together
as party and will not vote with the Re-
publicans Then, again, Marion Butler, the
leader of the North Carolina fusionists, is
quoted as saying that he looked more hope
fully to the Democratic party than to the
Republicans for that particular legislation
that has made the third party of latter
days famous.
But the Republicans need SO small
margin to insure an absolute majority that
the consensus of opinion today is that the
organization of the Senate for the Fifty
third congress will be secured by them
The coming session, the last of the Fifty
third will perhaps throw some light upon
this matter, as it is not beyond the range
of the probable that certain of the now
doubtful senators may take occasion to
throw off the allegiance to the third party
and ally themselves with one or the other
Of the leading organizations.

If one senator and - Populist repre-
scntatives can cngraft any of their wild
schemes on Texas legislation during the
next session of the legislature, the Dem
ocrats elected to that body must have had
their backbones broken by the late outside
cyclone. They will have no influence
whatever, even as balance of power, on
any measures presented for action.

Keep Well.
To produce good cake, uniformly ur
to the standard, the housewife mus
have a supply of first-class flour, kept
dry; likewise of powdered sugar or the
finest graduated, also kept dry. Nc
graduated sugar can be incorporated
with butter so readily or perfectly as
sugar powdered. Store both in wooden
buckets and keep in a cool, dry place.
Heat and moisture affect flour anC

who complain of 'bad luck" with theil

all batters in earthenware bowls.
Using good flour, sugar, butter and
eggs, three kinds of especially dainty
cakes can be made by means of the di
rections given here. These are the
standard recipes for the everyday fam
lily table cake in several households
where uniformly excellent cookery i.
insisted upon.
SAND CAKE.-Bcat half "a pound OF
sweet butter to a cream; add the yolks
OF five eggs and half a pound of sugar;
for this cake graduated sugar is al.
ways to be used. Stir this mixtur,
half an hour, then add gradually hall
a pound of cornstarch; CRATE in the
thin yellow rind of half a lemon, add a
little of the juice, and, last of all, stir
in lightly the stifiy-beaten whites of
three eggs. The right tin to
bake this in is a high one with
a tube in the center, and the pan should
be thoroughly creased with lard before
putting in the cake; the cake may stick
if butter is used. Bake from half 10
three-quarters of an hour. ice the top,
if desired.
Always make sand cake IL couple of
days before cutting it.
LIGHT LAYER CAKE, Beat a pound of
butter to a crea and add one at a
time, the yolks of seven eggs: as you
drop in "a yolk, break in also a whole
egg, making seven eggs in addition to
the seven yolks. Mix thoroughly, and
add gradually one pound of sugar. Stir
fifteen minutes before putting in a
pound of sifted flour and the juice and
grated rind of a lemon. Bake in layer
cake tins and fill as preferred.
A perfectly delicious filing is made
with nuts; make a boiled strip of two
unces OF sugar and three tablespoons
OF water. Have ready three ounce OF
walnut meats-or hazelnuts-which
must be pounded fine with a tablespoon
OF cream. Put into these a scant tea.
spoonful Of vanilla essence and ar
ounce of candied lemon or orange peel
minced; pour the strip over this and
STIR lightly, Put between the layers OF
cake; the top can be iced or simply
have powdered sugar sifted thickly
over. .
PROMISES. To make promises mix
together n egg, six ounces of sugar,
three-quarters of a pound of butter;
