Some Famous Recipes From New England
 Kitchens and Their Cooks.
 To prepare Rhode Island baked beans. put one quart of beans to soak in cold water over night. In the morning pour off the water and cover with fresh cold water; put on the fire and let them come to the boil slowly, then simmer until quite soft, but not broken. Then pour off the water and put them into baking dish with boiling water enough to moisten. Add pinch of dry mus. tard, some salt and two tablespoons of molasses. Take about half pound of fat salt. pork, boiled and scored, and put in the middle of the dish. Set in the oyen,. covered, and let them cook slowly all day About two hours be- fore night uncover and brown.
 For sponge cake. or diet bread take twelve eggs and the weight of the eggs in sugar and half the weight in flour; one lemon, juice and rind.. Beat the yolks and whites very light; beat the sugar into the yollxs. Next add the juice and grated peel of lemon, then the flour; lastly the beaten whites put in these very lightly Have tins WltH ptrpentilCuldl cisCSs 5liicu Witn Duttered paper, and steady fire. The cake should be. eaten the day it is made. ..ssge.sssY.et, ,.sss ssssss
 For ''brown pudding" use three cups of four. one cup of milk, one cup of molasses,t one cup suet, chopped. fine, two cups of raisins, one teaspoonful of powdered mace and cinnamon, and two of powdered cloves and salt, one tea spoonful of soda dissolved in little of the milk. After mixing pour into a tightly covered and well-buttered tin mold. Tie this in strong towel and boil hard for three hours and half. Citron and entrants may be added. A hot liquid sauce, favored with lemon or brandy, is nice to eat with this. The man is yet undiscovered who does not like this pudding.
 For raised biscuit set a sponge to rise as for bread at 6 o'clock. At half-past 9 rub into one quart of four one table spoonful of lard, a little white sugar and one teassoonfulo of salt. Make hole in the middle and put in your sponge. Knead it lightly with enough luke warm milk and water to make it into a soft dough; let it rise. Early in the morning knead it down and make into biscuits and set before the fire to rise. Bake half an hour.-N. Y. Tribune.

Clogging of the pores or mouths of the seba- ceous glands with sebum or oily matter.

Some Statesmen Who Have Tired of Civ
Ing Out the poiIs.
WASHINGTON, May 2s.-The an
nouncement hat Representative VOL
verton of Pennsylvania would not 40
cept a nomination to congress again
recalls the fact that a number Of othe,
gentlemen, prominent in public life
have taken the same position. MIR
Beldon OF Syracuse, N. Y, several
months ago, publicly announced his In
t%ention not to be a candidate again
Representative Hnrter Of Mansfield, o.,
forestalled Mr.. Belden in making 6
similar declaration, and Thursday las
Mr.. bryan OF Nebraska addressed ,
letter to the chairman of his congress
sional committee stating his purpose
not to accept the denomination. Mr.
Forman of the East st. Louis district O.
Illinois has also intimated that he will
not seek denomination.
The reasons assigned by member
for not desiring to ~re-enter public life
are various. Mr.. Wolverton feels thai
his law practice is suffering by hls long
absence from home. This practice Il
worth many times his salary as repre-
sentative, and self interest demandi
that he relinquish his public duties a.
the close of this congress. To moi
who cannot carr 8 $4,000 a year o,
whose income does not exceed that
figure a congressman's life, in Mr.. VOL
verton's opinion, is an agreeable one
But to those whose earning capacity i,
much greater u long continuance In
public life demands q great pecuniary
sacrifice.
Mr.. Harter objects to tho "ofice bro
kerage" future OF a congressional expe
%rience, and this is mainly responsible.
for his desire to return to private life
Mr.. Belden says there is nothing In
congressional life for an active man OF
affairs. Mr.. Bryan declines a renomi.
nation, believing he can utilize his time
to better advantage in helping to elect
the state ticket in Nebraska. But the
continued opportunities by their con,
stituents for places In the public ser.
vice Is, In the main, the underlying
reason for the desire OF many congress-
men not to accept a denomination. The
time thus spent could be employed, In
their opinion, more usefully, and this,
1t seems, furnishes the principal reason
why SO many members Of congress
would like to see the patronage taken
away entirely from senator's and repre-
sentatives and lodged only in tho heads
OF b executive departments.

TROUBLE FOR II
Deep Cut Made in the Appropriation +

Deep Cut Made In the Appropriation 70,
Special Pension Examiners.
WARRINGTON, May 22.-Congresi
seems bent on clipping the wings OF
the pension commissioner. The legis,
lative appropriation bill. which ha,
just been reported to the house, ha.
reduced the appropriation for special
fold examiners to 5000. 900, although
Commissions Lochren asked for $500,
600. The pension officials ARE much
chagrined and say it will cripple tn.
work of reforming the pension system
There arc 322 special examiner
now in tho field and 200 o.
them will have to be called in July l
Commissioner Dudley and Black each
received an annual appropriation Of
$3.50, 900 for carrying on the special ex
animation bureau, but under General
Raum the amount was reduced to s2l5,
600, as hat official did not believe In
the special examiners. Much OF the
complaint from soldiers against the ad.
m~inistration's pension policy revolves
around the special examiners. This
official visits the veterans in their
home, looks into the merits of their
claims, and calls in the neighborhood
as witnesses as 70 the abilities of the
soldier to earn q living. In soldier
communities tho special examiner is
looked upon with considerable W and
suspicion, and congressman who have
soldier constituencies achieve a degree
of popularity by making war on these
confidential emissaries Of the pension

Plans of ME-. Meyer to Secure Advance.
ment of Enlisted Men.
WARRINGTON, May 22.-The activity
Of Representative Meyer Of Louisiana
in urging q reorganization Of the per-
,onnel Of the navy is earning for him
the title of 1.-The Sailors Friend" Mr..
Meyer was instrumental in securing
the creation a joint committee Of the
lenate and house to secure the reor-
Plantation OF the navy, and he has
since become an energetic member Of
hat committee. he first turned his
Attention to recognizing the lower
grades Of the navy. He has drafted a
bill for this purpose, n Of the main
features of which is in providing u
means Of stesdy advancement from
the enlisted ranks up to a commission
As officer. Mr.. Meyer says the old
world navics provide for such advance
ment, but 1t is a singular feature of the
American system that IN enlisted sailor
can never hope to gain a commission.
The proposed bill creates a number of
grades through which sailors may pass
In a gradual advance toward commits
sion. These include glasses in ord
A"nS APoNoSos IA c1CCJTlClGy, hlH-
nails, and helmsmen. to be known as
the military classes of the navy. Other
classes nre grouped as n civil staff and
include classes Of pay and commission,
steam engineering, mechanics, apothe-
carries and other civil branches. Ameth.
cd is provided by which a sailor may
pass through one or the other of these
classes, and then, II under IS years Of
age, be sent to q school of instruction
where he is prepared for examination
for n commission in the Five
commissions as ensigns are to be given
annually in case there are vacancies
over and above those filled from the
naval academy. Three other commits
sions are to be granted annually to the
civil corps of the navy. Another inter.
esting feature of Mr.. Meyers plan Of
reorganization is that 1t divides all
naval ships into divisions. the naval
forces into battalions, and then appor-
tions the ships and forces among six
districts into which the coasts Of the
United Stairs are divided. The pur-
pose OF this is to give each vessel md
each otficor and sailor q permanent

Executive Board of the knights Act on
Charges of Treachcry.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 21.-Ter-
renee v. P%owderly, ex-gcnernl master
workman of the Knights of Labor, A.
w. Wright of Toronto, Canada, exS
member of the general executive board
of the knights. and p. Ii. Quinn, master
workman of district assembly 90, az,
ardent supporter of Powderly, have
been unceremoniously expelled from
the Knights OF Labor. This action
on the part Of the new general execu-
tive board Of the knights has been ex-
pected for some time. The fact that
Powderly and the little band who
chung to him after his defeat for
reelection last November nave been
pulling wires, talking, and otherwise
c~ndeavoring to bring about the down
fall of the new officials of the knights
and the disruption of the order has
been an open secret. The schemes of
Powderly to break up this order came
to n climax at the recent unofficial la Dor
conference held in their city. At that
conference Powderly and his conferces
boldly declared themselves in favor of
the absorption into the Federation Of
Labor of the trades assemblies of the
Knights. The pins were all set up to
pass a resolution III favor of this with
a whoop and telegraph it all ovcr the
country as the edict of organized la
Dor, having the sanction of the gen
eral executive board of the knights.
Another plan proposed ut the confer
ence was the election of P%owderly and
two of his coterie as delegates to the
convention at st. Louis June II. Both
of these schemes were defeated. With
these facts as n case Mcssrs. Mcclure,
French and Martin, constituting u
quorum of the general executive board,
met in Boston, and, after an investiga-
ton Of the charges, expelled the three
members as stated. General Secretary
Treasurer Hnyes was Mt once notified,
and the letters notifying the delin-
quent members OF their expulsion were
mailed from this CITY.
