New Ribbon Bows.

One Of the distinguishing features OF
the butterfly bows that are to trim so
many of this summers gowns is that
they will be all loops and no ends.
This fact will add greatly to their
wearing qualities and keep them from
assuming SO quickly that draggled look
that is the saddest fault of most rib
bon trimmings. An expensive novelty
for those who desire something with
more dignity than the taffetas or gros
grains is a velvet ribbon, preferably
black, stamped with Dresden design
in colors. 1t has the advantage of
keeping its freshness almost Indefinite
ly. Satin ribbons are scarcely seen
at all this season, SO II one has q
quantity from last years gowns, the
best thing to do with it is to wash it
with gasoline and put 1t away until it
comes in vogue NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

A oueer Habit of Thieves.

''There is one peculiar fact about q
professional thief that always notice,
and that is that he invariably insists
on going into crowd, where suspicion
Is sure to rest on him." said Detective
Murray. Another thing is that you
can't induce these fellows to leave
town, and go where they are unknown.
Then. of course, when we see them in
a crowd the only thing to do is to ar
rest them. The prisoner sets up q
howl that we are bounding him and
driving him to commit crimes, but
still he persists In going where he is
sure to be noticed" = Philadelphia
Call.

will fix the highway in the wrong
place for several generations, and may
be forever.
So, too, in one of the most beautiful
and prosperous counties in New Jersey
a large sum raised from the sale of
bonds for road improvement is being
wasted at this moment. Without a
man in the county board with any
knowledge of road building, it is not
wonderful that an engineer was Sc
lected without any experience. Taking
good advice to begin with, this ig-
norant local board and ignorant local
engineer have abandoned every wise
counsel and now propose to'pave over
hills so steep that horse can only
climb them laboriously in a walk, and
to use in the construction a native
bastard stone so coarse in grain that it
disintegrates when in contact with the
weather. This money will be thrown
away, and in that section of New Jer-
sey the movement for good roads will
be seriously injured.
State road laws should be framed so
that, while home rule will not be in
terfered with, the ignorance of the
local pumpkins will have small chance
to wreak itself on the public highways.
Good roads should be universal in every
American state. and therefore their
construction from funds raised in part
by general taxation should not be a
hardship to any. 1t is bad plan, as a
general thing, to help those who won't
help themselves, and for this reason
not every kind of local interest and re-
sponsibility should be abrogated in any
state road law. But state law grant
ing to each county state aid to the ex-
tent Of one-third of the cost of road inn
provement, provided that the plans
should be made and the work itself
supervised by the state engineers,
would secure the desired results with
out relieving the county CT a good pro

The Preservation of Fruit.

After sound fruit Of the right varIe-
ties is obtained, the essen tials for pres
ervation are temperature only few
degrees above the freezing point, even
and not subject to change, with pure
air, not too dry. These conditions are
to be had rarely outside of houss
built for the purpose. And one thing
is especially to be kept in mind: Fruits
will not keep long in good condition
after having been in such a room any
considerable length of time.

Of the avenues of consumption; in the
second place, our people will be led to
consume much larger quantities as
prices get within their reach; in the
third place, we will adopt methods of
canning and preserving not now known
or not now practiced, by which our
fruits can be, consumed in every coun-
try in the world. At present the
United States is supplied with dried
fruits, such as raisins, figs, currants,
prunes, largely from other countries.
We are also importing largely lemons,
oranges, pineapples, bananas and other

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Keep Them in Perfect Condition
Through the Winter.

How to Keep Them in Perfect Condition
Through the Winter.
The following method have found
to keep sweet potatoes in perfect or
der until June. Procure. a good sup
ply of pine straw from the woods in a
dry time and keep it under cover ready
for use. Dig the potatoes as soon as
frost cuts the vines. If not convenient
to dig at once cut the frosted vines off
at once, or they will harbor fungous
growth that will damage the potatoes.
Dig on warm, sunny day; lay the po-
tatoes along the row as dug; and do
not allow them to be bruised by throw
ing into piles. Handle at all times as
gently as eggs. Allow them to lie in
the sun during the day, and in the
evening haul to convenient place.
Place a good layer foot thick of pine
straw on the ground, and on this pile
the potatoes in steep heaps, not over
twenty-five bushels in pile; cover the
piles thickly all over with the dry pine
straw; now build a rough board shed
over the piles, and let them remain
until the weather grows colder, or un-
til they have gone through sweat
and dried off, Then cover the heaps
with earth six or eight inches thick
and beat smooth. The important
points are the sweating under the pre-
vious cover of the pine straw before
covering with earth. very carefully
handling, and the board cover over
head. Dry earth keeps out more cold
thanswet earth. If for family use, put
in smaller piles and take up an entire
heap at once for use, keeping them in
a dry, warm place while using.-W. E.

BEGINNING OF THE END.

The new Dawes commission has
met in Washington and reorgan-
lied and will proceed to this coun-
try about the first of May. A. R.
Boyd, of South McAlester, who
for two years has been Secretary
Smiths confidential secretary, was
chosen secretary of the commits
sion at a salary of s2, 800 a year.
The members of the commission
were all present in Washington
last Saturday in consultation with
officials of the interior department
and with the president, relative to
their work here. The president
has strong hopes that the new
commission will be able to accom-
plish more than the old one. 1t
has reached the president that the
Indians who are opposed to any
change of tribal relations believe
that he is going to stand between
them and the commission and that
he is not in sympathy with the
movement to dissolve the tribal
relationship. Mr.. Cleveland is
heartily in accord with the mission
of the Dawes commission and it is
said will so inform the Indians by
letter or some public way, and
that they must meet the overtures
in friendly spirit or take the
chances Of adverse Legislation
when the next congress meets
The commission is much stronger
than it was last year; the addition
of General Armstrong certainly
adds greatly to its efficiency, ant
the two other new members, Mont
gomery and Cabannis, are men o
| ability.

The Denison Murders.

Some years ago ii will be re-
membered that three women were
murdered in different parts of Den
ison, the same night. The MUIR
ders have always remained a mys-
terry, but Dick Edwards was finally
convicted of one of them-that of
Mrs. Haynes. So much doubt ex-
isted as to the prisoners guilt that
he escaped the extreme penalty.
He was taken to the penitentiary
but a short time ago and two weeks
since died there Of consumption.
Regarding the case the Sherman
Democrat says:
ut is a fact that very few peo-
pie know tha: most flattering OPP
portunity was offered Dick Ed.
wards to escape with light term
of Imprisonment at the very out
,ide and to perhaps secure a par
don, just a few days before he was
taken to Rusk. 1t had always
been a pretty well settled theory
that there were other parties con-
nected with the triple murder,
that is, taking it for granted that
Dick Edwards actually did murder
Mrs. DR.. Haynes on the night of
May II, 1892, and for which he
was given a life imprisonment sem
tence.
After the court of appeals had
finally affirmed his case his attor
ney paid him an important visit.
Armed with the assurance that
should Edwards see fit to make q
fail confession OF guilt and throw
the search. light upon others he
would receive pardon, or at the
very worst be imprisoned for a
short time, the chance was offered
him by his attorney.
The condemned man listened
quietly and then bursting into
tears said:
