Tho outer wall is about 81 miles in cir
cumference. 1t was built centuries ago Of
mud and bricks The inner and outer face
are of the latter. Each brick is as big as
a family Bible, and the interstices are
filled up with mud and stones, The whole
has long settled Into a solid cement.
Save for some damage done In one or two
quarters by recent foods, this great wall
Is still intact. The gates number g. They
arc insignificant, though finely arched,
are not much wider than the streets and
are only about 90 feet high. At night they
are closed with great doors sheathed with
iron.
The whole city forms two rough paral-
kilograms, one being tho Tartar city and
the other the Chinese There Is another
wall separating the two sections. The first
Is the Mantchu quarter par excellence; the
second Is given over to commerce. Inside
the walls of the Tartar city-they are so
feet thick at the base-are the government
buildings, the foreign legations and the
residences of the wealthy Tartars, which
run around another high gray bricked
wall, six miles (roughly) in circumference
This wall incloses the temples, pleasure
grounds, and outer palaces of the sacred
city, consecrated to tho uses OF the Son
OF Heaven" " Inside this block, again, is
the Purple Forbidden City, the actual resi-.
dence of the emperor aud his court. Fort

Perfumes arc now added to tho varied
chemical products of coal oil, Stimulating
tho delicate fragrance of tho rose and vio-
let and hyacinth, but so far no method has
been devised of making them permanent.
They are fugitive and eyanescent liko
phantepi odors brcathed out ofV egion of
dreams, but perhaps the chemists will one
day catch and iinprison them and impart
to them substance enough TO make them
welcome adJuncts of tho toilet. 1t will
add another TO the remarkable series OF
productions which modern alchemy has
been able to extract from this substance
and one of the most curious and interest
ing Of all of thom, The perfumes are as
sweet and enchanting in their way as were
tho beautiful purple dyes. surprising those
of Shushan or Tyre, which chemistry long
ago extracted from the same substance.
1t has also given to tho pharmacist
long list of useful remedies, and there is
really no end to its possible uses and util-
tiles. The world got along in some way
for long period without tho oil itself or
any of the agents derived from it, all that
incalculable wealth, surprising that of
Ophr and Golconda and Ormuz and the
Golden Chersonesus, lying hidden away in

APPROPRIATION BILLS DELAYED.

Very Little Prospect for tho Confederation

The Rush of Closing Days Begins In the
House.
WAsHINGToN Feb. 1s.-There IA begin
ming to be n slight uneasincss on the Dem
ocratic side of the senate that some of the
appropriation bills may fail There re.
mains only eleven working days of the
session, and four of the most important
OF these bills ara still entirely unconsid-
cred In the senate These are tho Indian,
the sundry civil, the Legislative and tho
general deficiency bills, each of them con.
sidered as more likely to afford ground for
debate than any of the appropriation bills
which have already received attention
This anxiety is not yet, however very pro-
nounced. 1t would be more marked but
for the fact that it Is generally believed
that the Republicans arc sincere In their
protestations that they do not desire to
prolong debate sufficiently to cause the
failure of any of the bills, and thereby rem.
der themselves amonable to the charge Of
making an excuse for an extra session q
The Democratic managers expect to gain
considerable time by moving at an carly

journals of that period were 2lG inches

days, and the whent and flour were shipped
In barrels. Wheat would be shipped east
in barrels and the same packages used In
shipping the flour back to this country.

BAKED BEANS.
Why You Can't Get tho Genuine Outside
Of New England.

The reason why baked beans outside of
Now England are SO unlike the genuine
article is that .2ey are not properly oookcd.
and more especially because they arc not
booked In the old fashioned down east
bean pot There are probably no real bean
pots on sale outside of New England.
They are all about tho same in appearance
and are mndo of potter's clay, which Is
the material tlowerpots are made Of
For some reasons beans baked in any
Dthcr utensil are unlike those baked in q
bean pot. just why this is SO is hard to
determine, but the fact remains. Possibly
tho thick pottery wafo affects the beans in
similar manner as n meerschaum pipe
Affects the flavor of tobacco
Any ono can have nice baked beans IL
be secures bean pot and follows these di-
rections: First get your beans Tho large
red kidney variety is largely used, but the
small white pea bean is more generally
popular.
One quart of beans Is sufficient when
cooked for two meals for an average fam
lily. They should be soaked in cold water
for an hour or so. Then salt and pepper
should be added. together with half tea-
spoonful of mustard and half tcacupful
of molasses The molasses gives the beans
delicious flavor, and at tho same time it
Is not too pronounced, nor is IL possible to
detect the molasses. When the beans arc
In tho pot, half or three quarters of II
pound of pork, well streaked with lean,
should be placed on top and then enough
warm water poured into tho pot to just
cover the beans.
Beans should be baked in an oven of
even temperature for either day or a
night, or, in other words, about 10 hours.
1t is better to bake them in tho daytime,
for then they can receive more attention.
As the water gradually evaporates more
should be added from time to time but
care should he taken to keep tho beans
covered This must be done until the
beans are nearly ready to be taken out,
whom no more water should be added, SO
that they will not be SO moist as to be

The pot can remain in the oven, where
1t Will simply keep hot, for an indefinite
tinlo without injury. Beans should be
served in covered dish. Beans that have
been left over are delicious warmed up in
stewpan with a little water added, and
many bean epicures think the moro times
beans are warmed over the better they are

at the capitol is practically at staadstill.
The senate and house will reConyene

day of next week the house will hold two
sessions on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and
Thursdays. The senate is far in advances
of the house, and will continue to hold one

two bills providing for an additional law
judge in Washington and Westinorcland
counties. The former was vetoed on Sat
urday and the other has not yet been
acted upon. The ten days limit expires
next Friday 1t is thought the governor
will sign the bill, as Westmoreland is the
only county in the state with population
OF over 1000 with one Judge who receives
salary of 5000 annually. The county
Is entitled to two judges by its population.
The business of the court is two years be-
hind, and litigants have to be put to much

APoPULAR ACTRESS MURDERED


PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 1S,-Madge Yorke,
nsoprano singer with the Baggage Check"
company was shot and almost instantly
Killed by james P. Gentry, comedian of
Collier's Back Number" company, at
Zeises hotel, last night. Gentry escaped
and up to late hour no clew had been OBJ
tained Of his whereabouts.
The Baggage Check" company, which
opens at the Empire theatre tonight, ar
rived here yesterday morning from Chester,
Pa, and number OF the members, in
Guiding Miss Yorke registered at Zeise's
hotel, Miss Yorke taking third-story
back room. About o'clock last night
Gentry walked into the hotel Office and
asked to bo shown to Miss Yorkos room.
Being unknown to tho attaches of the
house ho was told to wait a few moments
when he would be shown up. A message
was then sent to the girls room, but
GENTRY did not wait. He walked out into
the hallway and assembled by means of the
stairway.
Miss Yorke and Miss Ida Clarke,
member Of the company, were in the for
mers room practicing songs, when Gentry
opened the door and walked In unan-
nounced. Miss Yorko manifested some
surprise at seeing him, and introduced
him to Miss Clarke, who had never before
seen him. After hastily acknowledging the
Introduction, Miss Clarke says, Gentry
turned to Miss Yorke and, in an angry
tone, demanded, why didn't you meet
me todayP" Before the girl could answer
he whipped revolver from his pocket and
hred three shots at her, each bullet taking
effect-ono over the right eye, one in the
center OF the forehead, and the third close
to the left temple. Gentry Immediately
rushed from the room, and nothing more
was seen of him.
Charles Il. Blaney, author OF the "Bag-
gage Check, and Manager Cooper said
that 1t was generally understood that
Gentry and the girl were engaged to be
married, and no motive for the deed other
than tit of jealousy can be imagined.

friends In the profession ns Thoroughly
