An Art Every Good Housekeeper Should
 Thoroughly Understand.
 In deep eaIthenware pan, pre- viously warmed, place 8 pounds of flour and add good tablespoonful of salt. Take ? ounces of fresh German yeast and dissolve thoroughly in ? quarts of warm water. Then pour this on the four, mixing it with a large spoon into a rather stiff paste, then finishing the mixing with the hands, shaking in a little dry flour as you work and knead- ing gently until the dough is elastic in texture and docs not stick to the hands. Ten minutes is quite enough for the whole process.
 Now cover the pan with a clean cloth and put it in warm place out of drafts and near the fire. Leave it there at least four hours, when it will have risen to the top of the pan, or to quite double its original size, and will be light and spongy.
 Take it out on to a pastehOard, cut it into sections of 1 l., pounds each--you soon learn to judge without weighing knead each piece lightly With the hand and put into the warmed baking tins, making two or three incisions lightly on top of each piece of dough, as this helps to make it rise and to shape the loaves prettily. The dough should only half fill the tin, as it has yet to rise for half an hour before going to the oven, and even an hour does good rather than harm. Put it now into d moderate oven not a very hot one, as for pastry and in three-quarters of an hour your loaves will be done. The addition of a little butter in the mixing and the sub stitution of milk for water will pro duce delicious rolls, while i |, pounds of ordinary dough. to which one-half pound of good beef dripping or butter, three-quarters of pound of sultanas' three quarters of a pound of sugar, an egg and little lemon peel are added, resolves itself into a delightful home- calyn

His throat was cut from ear to ear, and his breast was slashed and his heart almost cut out. Briggs watch and pocketbook were missing, and everything of valueun his person was gone.

TO TINKER THEIR MONEY
Go1dbuKs Are Going to Get San Domingo
Into Their Clutches.


NEW YORK, April 1.-The officials of
the San Domingo Improvement compa-
ny who left here February 22 for the
island are back aP ain.
These gentlemen, aside from the work
of improvement in the way of railro ad
construction, etc., were chiefly interested
in the question of the improvement and
solution of the currency question in San
Domingo, upon which subject they went
to confer with President Heureaux and
his ministers.
The result has been the preparation of
a law to be submitted to the con gress of
San Domingo which will prepare for
currency on a gold basis on and after
June 1, next, instead of the present cur
rency that of Mexican silver dollars.
The new currency will be in gold dol
lars of the precise weight and fine
ness of the United States coin.
The silver dollar which will be
coined will be of greater value, intrin-
sically, than the American dollar. in that
it will contain 71-2 grains more silver
than the American dollar The provis-
ion of the law which is of the utmost
value is this:
s'All dollars and other silver coins, pro-
vided they have the weight and fineness
which is indicated in the monetary law,
shall be exchangeable at their face value
for Dominion gold coins in sums less
than So"

A MOULDY OLD CLAIM.
| Scares the Residents of Hot Springs
Nearly Out of Their wits.

Scares the Residents of Hot SPRING.
Nearly QUE of Their Wits.
HoT SPRINGS, Ark, April 1.-THE
good citizens of Hot Springs are begin
ming to realize that there is a strong like
lihood unless desperate measures are
taken, that the renowned springs of this
place will pass from government con-
troll into the hands of private corpora
ton.
The immediate cause of all this furry
was the receipt of telegram frem Con-
gresham Breckenridge in which he said
that unless the people of Hot Springs
stirred themselves. that the Boat
ner bill would become law and the Hot
Springs would pass from government
control into the hands of the heirs of
Don Juan Filpol together with a large
and choice assortment of city property
now held by private parties.
The claim embodied in the BoatneF
bill, is made by the heir of Don Juan
Filpol patent granted to that grandee by
the Spanish government in the early
part of this century, by which Don Juan
was given a square league of ground,
embracing what is now the govern
ment reservation and the best business
and residence proportion of the city.
When the louisiana purchase" was
turned over TO the United States govern
ment eighty years or so ago, it was with
the proviso that all claims based on pat
ents issued by the Spanish government
should be protected. In the early sixties
the government gave an opportunity to
all claimants to come forward and estab-
lish title under the proviso, but the Fill
pol claim was not presented.

FIERCE GALES.


HIGHLAND BEACH, N. J., April H.
This morning vessel went ashore of
Highland Beach.
At least eight men were drowned. Six
went down with the bowsprit, one swan
ashore and stood up in the undertow, but
was knocked down and carried back
into the sea and lost. One man went
down with the mast and held ON to a
rope for nearly half an hour, then he let
go and sank. There is terrible damage
done by the sea from a mile north of the
bridge to Seabright.
At the Normandie hall there is build
ing in the sea going to pieces. The whole
beach from Seabright for three miles
north is under water. Wind has been
blowing a gale from the east and it is
thick and showing Telegraph poles are
down north and south of the Highlands
lands says that this is the worst storm he
ever saw.
A binding snow storm prevailed at
the time, and rendered it difficult to OBJ
tain the facts in either case. 1t is known
however that another vessel, supposed
TO be large schooner, has been wrecked
off Squan.
The second vessel ashore is also said
to have lost her entire crew of twelve
men, and both vessels have become COM
plete wrecks.
Life Saving Crews.
The crews of the Sandy Hook, Squan
and Long Branch life saving stations,
put out to the assistance of the disabled
vessels as soon as they were reported
ashore, but it is not known that a single
life has been saved, as the furious sea is
running and the binding snow is pre-
venting any effective work upon the part
of the life savers
Several transatlantic steamers are due
to arrive today. The White Star liner
Majestic should have been in at an early
hour this morning, also the freighter
Tauric of the same line.
All these steamers will no doubt put
in an appearance as soon as the storm
abates.
The steamer Puritan of the Fall River
line parted a hawser while laying at her
dock, and the recoil of the great rope SO
injured four men, including second mate
Thomas Kelly, that they had to be taken
to the Cham bers street hospital
The ocean tug Underwater was sunk
as she was trying to make landing at
the dock at Watson's stores, Brooklyn.
She was just entering the slip when a
big wave damned her port bow against
the end of the string piece, which jutted
out and knocked hole in her hold.
The boat sank within a few minutes
after she reached the dock and now lies
in about thirty feet of water.
Worst in Eleven Years.
SEABRIGHT, n. 1.-THE storm raging
at this place is the worst that has visited
here in eleven years. Three thousand
feet of the New Jersey Southern rail
road between this place and Highland
Beach has been washed out The waves
were SO strong that the iron rails were
twisted out of shape.
The sand has been washed over the
tracks for nearly half mile. Travel
on the road has come to a standstill; no
trains are running further north than
this point A cut is reported from the
ocean to the Shrewsbury river. which
completely shuts off travel either north
or south from Seabright

Abundance of Water For Canal Between
Lake Superior and Mississippi.
ST.. PAUL, April 1.-THE committee Of
the chamber of commerce having in
charge the matter of proposed ship
canal between lake Superior and the
Mississippi called on Prof Winchell,
state geologist, for information on the
water supply for the eastern end Of the
ship canal
A letter just received from Prof.
Winchell addressed TO Washington, states
that the probable route of the canal is a
tract of lake country Of ten square miles
and convenient for use which has water,
s'abundantly sufficient to feed the canal
on the divide and at all lower stations Of
course there is still more water available
from the larger streams"
The house committee expects to report
tomorrow on the bill for a survey of the
proposed canal

BANK TAX REPEAL.
Bill to which Repeal Amendment VIII be

Made FavorAbly Acted On.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Brawley
bill to which amendment for the repeal
of the state bank tax, is to be offered in
accordance with the action of the caucus
has been favorably acted upon by the
committee on banking and currency. bus
it has not yet been reported to the house.
The reports from the banking and cur
rency committee are privileged under
the rules but if they go to the calendar
they lose their privileged character.
Mr.. Springer, chairman Of the commit
tee, is therefore holding the report and
will not make it until the house is ready
to proceed to its consideration. It is
not the intention of the Democratic
leaders to displace the appropriation bill
in order to do this.
The house will proceed with these
bills and when they are disposed Of, the
Brawley bill will be called up and the
state bank tax repeal amendment will
be offered, probably by Mr.. Culberson of
Texas, author of the caucus resolution.
