A DEEP HARBOR.

 Success Before Completion.

The New Jetties at Galveston Proving 8
 Success Before Completion.
 GALVESTON, Tex, Nov. 22.-The gov ernment's efforts to make deep har- Dor at this place for the benefit of the west have been partially crowned with success long before any one ex- pected it and now large vessels, draw ing over 15 feet of water, are able to pass through the new channel It is confidently predicted that in the near future there will be IS feet of water on the bar, where before there was shall low water. Further, the bar which ex- tended 319 miles in 1891 is now less than 19 mile wide and the tides are wash- ing this away steadily.
 The great jetties are not nearly fn- ished as yet, but when they are there is absolute reason to believe that the harbor here will be accessible to the greatest vessels in the world. It is said that the North German Lloyd and Hamburg-American lines will establish packet systems to this port. This will be of incalculable benefit to Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska because of the nearness of deep water to them.

ribbon, of any harmonious shade, and how the cover-bound in the same way with one band of ribbon-is attached to the box by short, loose strap of the ribbon, the ends of which are fastened and concealed beneath smart little bows of the same.
 The decorative design for the top of the box is shown separately in Fig. 2. The inscription, Neatly collared and smartly cuffed," and the little sketch, illustrative of a rather different appli- cation of the same idea, is painted in shades of brown touched up with liquid gold. This sketch, however, is only a suggestion to the artist. Doubtless other sketches equally applicable will suggest themselves to the imagination; such as the sketched photograph of a little dude almost hidden in collar and cuffs; saucy young girl with curls and flying ribbons decking herself with young mans cuffs and neckwear; or a mother cat cufilng her kitten while holding it fast by its ribbon collar. The more odd and artistic the design the better, provided it plainly illus trates the double meaning of the in- scription.

A MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

Marvellous Effects Produced by Washing
 Dress Goods in Chicago River Water.
 An Ohio editor recently printed col umn of Home Pointers" clipped from a Chicago paper. One of the recipes read as follows:
 Ink stains may be removed from colored table covers by dissolting a toaspoontul of boiling water and rubbing the stained part well with the solution"
 An Akron lady gave fair trial to this remarkably lucid piece of advice, and then sat herself down and wrote a letter to the editor of her favorite paper, in which she says:
 "I have been looking for long time for something which would remove ink stains. and I noticed in Saturdays paper a recipe which gladly tried, but it doesn't seem to work properly. After dissolylng the water have nothing left but tho spoon. and have nearly melted that in my repeated attempts Is 1t the water that gives the troubier l. thought, of course, you meant our Akron water There should certainly be Q large amount of rosiduum in that or did you mean the water VIC wi1 get after they tap Summit lake? If that is what you mean have no doubt but what that would do, but will have to wait before Gm convinced. Perhaps If you had proofreader he might enlighten me, but l doubt it."
 The proofreader, kind Akron lady, may not be able to give you the de- sired information, but we cGn-and will. The author of the recipe, being a dweller in the modern Gomorrha at the foot of Lake Michigan, conducted all his experiments with Chicago river water. mysterious fluid whose chem ical properties are simply marvellous. A single immersion will turn any white or colored fabric into fast black. Careful rinsing has been known to pro duce charming terra cotta effect, but in either case ink spots in the material arc obliterated effectively and forever.

Number of Useless Ones sAbandoned-Only Fit for Cattle Grazing.
 | WASHINGTON, Nov 23.-By executive order, and in conformity with the terms Of the general act of June 5, 1884, number of useless military reservations have been turned over bv the war department to the interior de- partment for disposal under the laws. These reservations are four on Puget sound, namely: On the west side of the narrows. at south side of Gig harbor entrance, 5s2 acres; on the west side of the narrows, 637 acres; on the west side or the narrows, south of Point Evans, 6S5 acres; on the south side of Gig har- Dor at the narrows, 559acres. In South Dakota, Fort Sully reservation, con taining 25,9s4 acres; in Arizona, Fort Bowie reservation, g, ,040 acres; in wyoming, Fort Mckinney reservation, 3,l95 acres; in Oklahoma, Fort Supply reservation, 40,320 acres.
 FIT ONLY FOR CATTLE GRAZING. GUTHRIE, Ok, Nov, 23.-The Fort Supply military reservation, which has Just been turned over to the secretary of the interior and opened to white settlement, is located in Woodward county in the extreme northwest end of the Cherokee strip. It comprises 72 miles square or 10000 acres. The country in most parts is rugged and given up to cattle ranges. One cattle ranch thereon is 20 miles square, in- closed in fence. The country is only fit for grazing purposes. The federal troops were removed from Fort Supply two months ago. The reservation con tains some of the finest officers build- ings in the west, with complete sewage system and all modern appointments. The usual rush by homesteaders will be made for the new Eldorado, but it is thought cattlemen will get the best tracts of lands.

This Lofty Mountain Peak Is Being Trans
 formed Under Volcanic Action.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 22.-Great ex- citement has been caused throughout the Puget sound country by what is looked upon by many as an eruption of Mount Tacoma, or Ranier, 14,444 feet high, and one of the loftiest peaks in the United States. The moun- tain has lately been strangely trans formed. The crest of the great mon- arch of the Cascades has changed, the cone having fallen in, and the steam can be seen rising from the crater. There is no eruption, it is believed by those competent to judge, but great masses of rock seem to have fallen. The snow capped cone has disappeared and sharp pointed peak has risen in its place to the east of the center. The changed appearance of the mountain is evident from the streets of Seattle, 90 miles distant, and thou sands of people have watched the great peak all the afternoon. But very few people have ever ascended the moun- tain, and at this season of the year the ascension is an absolute impossibil ity. There is no way of making a thorough investigation of the phenomenon.

Two Prisoners Perish in the Tahlequah
 Calaboose.
 TAmEQUAH, 1. T., Nov. 22.-In the burning of the city calaboose at 4 o'clock yesterday morning two men, F. NJ. Hallahan and William Downing, were roasted alive, the latter being burned to a cinder. When the alarm of fire was given night watchman w. l.. Goody and Tom Taylor hastened to the jail and unlocked the door, but it was too late. The fire had been started by Downing, who fell near the only door, and all chance of escape of the two prisoners was cut off by the flames. Both Hallahan and Downing could be heard piteously crying for aid in the back part of the building, but it was impossible to save either of them. The calaboose was constructed of wood, eight inches thick, and before aid could be procured and hole chopped through the wall they were both burned to crisp.
 The men had been arrested for drunkenness and disorderly conduct. When Downing was jailed he swore he would burn himself out, and he clearly succeeded.

Left over stewed Tomatoes.

If, as often happens, you have little stewed tomatoes left over from dinner this is a nice way of using them: Boil two-thirds of cup of rice in two cups of water tor steam it in the double boiler) adding half teaspoonful of salt at the time you pour the boiling water on to the rice. Cook until soft, which will be Q half or three-quartera of an hour. Remove the cover and stir the rice carefully with fork to let the steam escape and dry off the rice. Heat the tomatoes which were left, season them quite highly with salt and pepper, using little cayenne to heighten the taste, add to the rice a tablespoonful of butter, stir carefully in and when melted pour over the tomatoes and stir that also into the rice. Serve at once as a vegetable, and you will be sur. prised to find it so good.

THANKSGIVING TURKEY.
How to Prepare the Bird for tho Oven

Aho" No AEephfo tut ItiFu tne ofen-
 Toothsoms Dressing.
 Draw the turkey and rinse with sev. eral waters. Prepare a dressing of bread crumbs, mixed with butter, pep per, salt, thyme and wet with hot water or milk. Add the beaten yollSs of two eggs. Mince dozen oysters and stir into the dressing, and, if you are partial to the taste, wet the bread crumbs with the oyster liquor. Fill the body of the turkey, and sew 1t up with a strong thread. Dredge it with flour before roasting, and haste often, say every fifteen minutes; at first with butter and water, afterward with the gravy in the dripping-pan. After lay ing the turkey in the pan, put in tea cup of hot water. Many roast always upon a grating placed in the pan. In that case the boiling water steams tlJe under part of the fowl, and prevents the skin from drying too fast or crack ing. Roast to a fine brown, and if it threatens to darken too rapidly, lay a sheet of white paper over it until the lower part is also done. Stew the chopped giblets in just enough water to cover them, and when the turkey is lifted from the pan add these with the water in which they were boiled to the drippings. Thicben with spoonful of Drowned flour, wet first with cold wa ter to prevent Jumping; boil up once and pour into the gravy boat. If the turkey is very fat, skim the drippings well before putting in the giblets. Serve with cranberry sauce. Some al- ways lay fried oysters in the dish around the turkey. In roasting, if your fire is brisk, allow about ten min. utes to a pound; but it will depend largely upon the turkeys age whether or not this rule holds good.-Home.

Territory OnioIals Claim They Cant Afford

 pense.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-J. w. Ellis, lieutenant of Indian police in the In- dian territory, has written letter to Secretary Smith, in which he points out the difficulties that are encoun- tered in checking the Cook gang and other bands of desperadoes. He says the deputy marshals and Indian po- lice are not well enough paid to hunt down desperadoes. The Indian po- lice get Sl5 per month and cannot afford to pay travelling and other expenses out of that amount in pur- suit of robbers. He says rewards are offered for desperadoes, but not paid if they are brought in dead. He suggests the police be paid $50 per month and expenses. Good men, he says, could then be obtained and placed under the direction of the Indian agent, who would soon rid the territory of des- peradoes. He says the Cook gang is composed of two or three negroes and fifteen white men.

American Products May Lead to Retalia-
 tion.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. Qualifications multiply to show that the German government is pursuing a oppressive policy toward importations from the United States that in the end may call for retaliation. The latest evi- dence is contained in report to the state department from United States Consul Robertson at Hamburg. He says that movement is being set on foot by the imperial government looking to the complete exclusion of dried and evaporated apples from the United States which are found to con- tam more than the specified amount of zinc, supposed to have been taken up from the zinc frames on which the fruit is dried. As result the trade would severely suffer. The con- sul suggests that fruit driers change their methods and use wooden frames, as it is all important that articles sent from the United States to Germany should be prepared in every direction, so as to offer no grounds for complaint on the part of either German officials or competing dealers, such as must be justly and successfully used to injure or destroy our trade.
 Enclosures sent with the report from our consular agencIes show that at tacks made in the German papers on American products have extended to American seeds, clover, timothy, etc, which are supposed to have been adulterated and worthless.

It Is Probable No More Appointments Will

 WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-It is stated at the post office department that no more appointments of presidential postmasters are likely to be made un- til after congress meets. There are several reasons for this decision. The principal one of which is that post master appointed now must be re- nominated when congress meets next month, and that this second appointment will neces- sitate the filing of new bond. Further than this it is thought best to avoid any possible discourtesy to the senate by waiting the fortnight before the congressional session begins before making any more appointments. no matter how urgent. It is understood that this suspension of appointments will apply to officers under all the other executive departments.
