Fastidious Hayward.

Harry T. Hayward who is now await
ing the date of his execution, in the
county Jail, does not relish the idea OF
being hanged with second hand scat
fold and rigging. He has read in the
papers, that the machine likely to be
used upon him is a very plebian con-
trivance, manufactured somewhere in
the backwoods, and traded about from
the family of one sheriff to another,
until it's record is full of worm holes
and bad odor. Mr.. Hayward thinks
that he should at least be given a new
scatfold, and in this he will be accom-
modated, for Sheriff Holmberg does
not purpose to have any old time reli,
serve him in such an important matter.
Hayward has given the sheriff in
struction in regard to testing the rope.
He wants the sheriff to test it with !;
good weight.
Il would prefer live one, he said,
''and would suggest Blixt as agood one
to test it on j.
As the Blixt idea was out of the ques-
tion, he asked that 800 pound drop
weight would be proper, and then he
wanted the other end used for himself,
30 as to be sure that the strain in the
Test had not created defect.

SO uniformly favorable The daily average

wages In many establishments are rising, and
with the iron industry just now leading, there

HOW TO MAKE PoTPIE.


Pslntable.
For preparing perfectly light, ten.
der, savory potpie, either. veal, chicken
or young lamb is generally selected.
Veal makes an ideal potpie, and is
more familiar, perhaps, than anything
else in this method. The cheaper por.
tions of the veal, especially the necls
piece and parts of the shoulder, are
generally chosen. FREQ the meat from
fat and cut it in uniform chunks about
two inches square. Dredge it with
flour and season it with salt and pep
per. Brown it down in pot with q
tablespoonful Of butter. Turn ID
repeatedly while it is browning.
SO that it will not burn. Whom ii
is evenly Drowned add enough
boiling water to barely cover the meat,
and let it simmer down for an hour;
At the end Of this time season the meat
again and prepare the paste. For three
pounds of veal sift two cups of -four
into bowl with an even teaspoonfuL
/ of cream of tartar and half an event
teaspoonful of soda. Measure tho
cream Of tartar q little more iberallY
than the Soda It requires ''judg.
ment," as old housekeepers say, to
make the delicate difference in meas.
ure here indicated, >but the result is al
ways better if trifle less than half
the amount of soda to the cream Of
tartar is used. Add teaspoonful Of
sugar and half a teaspoonful of salt.
and stir in just enough milk to
make q batter as stiff as you can
stir it. Some -four requires more
moisture, so no rule can be given for
this. If the chunks of meat project up
from the liquid in the potso the pastry
will rest upon them and not become
water soaked before they are cooked,
it is time to drop the paste in. If there
is considerable liquid boil it down.
Put in the pastry as quickly as pos
sible. It will nearly cover the stew.
One piece must on no account rest over
the other, so it is better to use wide
mouthed kettle. The inexpensive iron
pots known as Scotch broth pots are
excellent for cooking potpie. They
must have tight cover, and this
cover must be put on the mo-
ment the pastry is put in the
pot It should be left on with
ou6 41tluS u 1Or GWelVe mluuteAH
and the stew should boil rather
rapidly all the time. At the end of this
time the potpie can be dished up. Ar
range the pie crust Or dumping, which;
ever name you chose to call it, in a cir
Gle on the hot platter and place the
meat in the center. Add little more
boiling water to the gravy in the pot.
if it has boiled down to thick glace,
as it usually does Add a Tablespoons
full of -four, and salt and pepper If nec-
essary. Pour this gravy over the meat
and serve it as soon as possible. Chick
en- and lamb are made the same way.
If a hen or fowl over a year old is used,
it may be necessary to cook it longer
than an hour to insure that melting
tenderness which is the characteristic
of the meat of a properly made potpie.'

"A synopsis OF the Commissions Report
for 1894
WASHINGTON, June 1s.-The seventh
statistical report of the interstate COM
lnerce commission has just been sub
mitted. It covers the fiscal year
1894 and completes the pre-
liminary statistics published last
December. The first part Of the re-
port covers the last four months of
the Columbian exposition, during
which time there was an increased
passenger traffic. The second part
covers a period of widespread business
depression. The third, commencing
June 80, 1894, when 1872 roads oper-
ating upwards of $4,000 miles of
line and representing about one-fourth
of the total railway capitalization were
in the hands of receivers. The effect
of these conditions is apparent in near
ly all of the figures presented. The
report shows:
The total railway mileage in the United
States was IFS, 70S, an increase during the year
OF 2247 miles The increase during the pre-
vious year was 1897

Coal.

It's we'll known that innumerable
samples Of coal have been brought to
Duluth during the past year for an
alysis and to be used to interest capital
in developing the finds. Not many
people are aware of the location from
whence the samples came and although
a considerable amount of detective
work and spying has been done by ex-
plorers and others in the vicinity of
Tower and all the north part Of the
state, no one has been able to detect
the source of the packsack loads of
specimens which have appeared.
The Little Forks country, lying about
40 miles west of Tower and north of
the Mesaba range, has been the scene
Of considerable coal exploratory work
this spring, and with some very salts
factory results. Gardner, of Superior,
and Others have invested considerable
money in explorations in townships 60
and 22-the exact location having never
been divulged either by Mr.. Gardner or
any of his crew. Thos Burke, fore
man of the work, is the last man to APP
pear from the Little Fork country with
about 40 pounds of coal taken from a
testpit in which well defined vein was
encountered. Mr.. Burke makes the as
sertion that within year consider
able amount of coal will have been dis
covered and bases his statements on
the recent discoveries made by himself
and crew. He also says the greatest
care is exercised in keeping the loca-
ton of the finds secret.
Further north also drift coal speci-
mems have frequently been displayed
by trappers and Indians, and although
it was never doubted that beds of coal
existed there, no one has been wise
enough to locate them. Opinion gen
orally put them somewhere on the
southwest shore of the Lake of the
Woods, as the greatest share of the
numerous specimens obtained came
from that direction.
