Against Things American Largely Re-
sponsIble for the Break.
New YORK, April 14.-Mr. and Mrs.
Dallington Booth have made public
their reasons for refusing to return to
the Salvation army. Among other
statements is this:
THE generals visit was the primary
cause of trouble between us and him
self. From first to last he impressed
us with his displeasure and dissatis-
faction with us personally and with
our method Of administering affairs.
we lived in and understood this coun-
try. He exhibited prejudides and mis-
conception of it and it people. He OBJ
jected TO the display of national flags
upon our badges and in our halls and
home.
He said that the time had arrived
to cease carrying the Stars and Stripes
at the head of our parades. He object
ed to the use OF the eagle upon our
crests, and constantly spoke depre.
catingly of the country. its people and
its institutions Our constant defense
and explanation, in answer to his at
tacks, only increased the difficulty.
With our affection for and our knowl-
edge of America, this placed us in a
most unfortunate position. He, iD con-
sequence, showed but little interest
and sympathy with us personally. He
spoke no word in public of approval of
our toll, zeal or success, and, in other
ways we need not mention, made the
visit one of the bitterest experiences of
some of the Proceeds of tho ms----A--..
Bank Robbery Come to Light.
NEW York, April l4.--It has become
known that Capt. 0'Brien, of the detec-
tive bureau, has been looking since
Friday for a man who on that day
went to Wall street bank and applied
for loan of 5000 and offered as col
lateral bonds Of the city of Yonkers,
which were afterwards identified as
part of the proceeds of the Manhattan
bank burglary in 1878.
Capt. O'Brien refused to talk about
the matter, but he admitted that such
was the case. Among the securities
and bonds stolen from the Manhattan
bank were lis seven per cent. bonds
for 81 900 each of the city of Yonkers.
They were never recovered. Last Fri
day man went to bank in Wall
street and wanted to borrow $1,000.
He offered as collateral nine OF the
bonds of the city of Yonkers. The
bank investigated and the bonds were
identified by Assistant City Clerk Hur-
bert of Yonkers as some of the bonds
stolen from the Manhattan bank. De-
tectivcs have since been looking for
the man.

BACTERIA THAT MAKE GOOD
BUTTER.

Use i'll the artificial flavor of butter.
Added to fresh cream, these microscopic
organisms multiply in incalculatie
numbers, and give to the substance 5iIe
peculiar taste quality that is desired by
people who eat butter. In Denmark
dairying is conducted on scientific prin-
ciples, and in hat country bacterial
cultures have come into general use in
the creameries. Already such cultures
have been placed on the market in the
United States. ard small quantities of
them are obtainable by farmers, put up
in bottles and Theoretically sealed.
Among them perhaps the b~est-known
is Prof. Conn's culture of Bacillus No.
Al" the original germs for which were
obtained by that scientist from a jar
of preserved cream from South Amer
lea. sent to tine worlds fair at Chicago.
The notion that Philadelphia butter
ma be made 10 order out Of II sort

few microbes of a particular species
seems surprising; yet it is a fact. 1t
