check, and it would not be sur
prising if it was followed by an
equally rapid decline. While lie

has played with him.

will be the proper name to give to
that Greater New York of the fu-

its boundaries many towns, vii
lagos, hamlets and districts of
which the two big cities are the
logical and geographical heads. AS
any name which would not, within
its written or spoken meaning,
clearly indicate the pre-existence
of a York and Brooklyn would
only stir up protests, arouse an
ger and probably justify fights, it
becomes necessary to hit upon a
name which will place both big
cities on record without disparag-
ing either. Yorklyn was suggested,
but the Long Island people insisted
on fuller recognition. It's thought
that York-Brook might fill the
bill.

COLLECTING BADGE BUTTONS.
The Latest Popuia Craxe started by the
Manufactur srs OF Bicycles.

|
Bianufactur FRS OF Bicycles.
People are collecting badge buttons
nowadays, and there are already collec-
tions that number hundreds. The pol
itician gathers in the emblem of party
strife or victories, the bicyclist ex-
changes club buttons with brother bic
cyclist, the business man keeps collec-
tien to see what his rivals are doing.
the small boy to see how many badge
buttons he can secure, and the new
woman follows suit because every one
el>e is doing il. The craze threatens
to become even more popular than the
button strings made by children 30
years ago.
The bicyclists started the fad. Every
person who buys bicycle feels himself
bound, while the new sense of owner
ship is strong, to wear a button badge
that proclaims the superiority of his
particular wheel. With secret or
CARNATIONS and bicycle clubs it had
become popular, but with the general
public there was apathy. At this
show the few manufacturers who gave
away badge buttons as souvenirs at
the start were found by their rivals to
be attracting so much attention that
before the show was over everybody
was offering buttons to visitors, and
hundreds of thousands were given
away. Men, women and children came
forth decked with numbers of the little
disks. This started the craze. TO
get more than ones neigbbor was the
universal desire, and from bicycling
buttons the rage has spread until every
kind of button is eagerly sought. For
a long time manufacturers of badge
buttons tried to make advertisers see
their value, but they met with no en-.
couragement until the bicycle dealers
took the idea up. Then the badge but
ton leaped into the swim.
The politicians early saw the value of
badge buttons, and the number used for
political booming is enormous. One
of the leading firms turns out over $780,
coo buttons each week, and is behind
in its orders. At present the great
demand is for political buttons. What
ever the character of the button, the
collectors are diligently harvesting the
supply as fast as it appears. The de-
mands made by button collectors upon
one firm manufacturing badge buttons
have become so great that it has pre-
pared circular enumerating 1874 diff
ferent varieties of bicycle buttons
which il sells at five cents each. The
same firm is getting out other lists for
general collectors, embracing other
buttons besides the bicycle badges.
1t is not out of the ordinary run for this
firm TO receive by mail checks ranging
from ten to fifty dollars for badge but
tons, every one of different design.
The circus is the latest employer of
this form of advertising, and the
provincial towns are to be well deco
rated with the novelty. The craze has
spread to Canada. The political situa-
ton there has seen the advent of the
badge button, and on the queens birth
day a vast number of buttons are to
be sent forth showing the portrait of
the queen on white ground.-N. Y.

REBELLION IN SUMATRA.
Savage Chief Making Serious Trouble for
the Dutch.

the
Atieh, the scene of the rebellion, is
strip of territory on the northeast
coast of Sumatra. The points occu-
pied by the Dutch are the harbor of
Oleh-leh and the garrison town of Kota'
raja, which are connected by railway
several llilometers long.
The natives of this district, the
Achinese, are the most savage and ra-
pacious of all the inhabitants of the
Dutch colonies. At one time they ruled
supreme throughout Sumatra, and even
to-day they are the implacable antago-
nists of the Dutch, while the remaining
more or less peaceful tribes periodical
ly transfer their allegiance from one
to the other of the two rivals.
The instigator of the present rising,
Toekoe Djohan, or Umar as he is some
times called, has on more than one &C.
casion voluntarily surrendered to tho
Dutch, who, in spite of the horrible
massacres and craftily planned muir
ders of ships companies of which he
was practically guilty, acknowledged
his "princely dignity" and looked upon
him as welcome instrument TO assist
in quelling the revolts of other tribes,
for which they paid him substantial
yearly salary.
Toekoe Djohan is tall, slim man be-
tween 30 and 40 years of age. Like the
majority of his followers, he Processes

but in reality he has no particular re-
spect for the tenets of that religion.
He is courageous and clever leader,
and these qualities, together with rare
cunning and the fact he has had fire.
quent opportunities of becoming ac-
quainted with the Dutch methods of
campaigning, render him one of the
most formidable chieftains of the Achi-
nese.

A LEMON CHESS PIE.
Directions for the Making of a Tooth
some Dessert.


This pie is somewhat of a puzzle to
housekeepers. 1t is composed of eggs,
butter, sugar and lemon juice, so put
together that they form n perfectly
light, consistent paste if the directions
are followed. 1t will not be possible
TO expect successful result unless the
directions are implicitly followed,
though they contradict the ordinary
method of mixing Measure out three
rounded tablespoonfuls of butter, five
tablespoonfuls of sugar, the grated yell
low peel and juice OF one lemon and the
yolks of three eggs. Put all these in
gradients ia a porcelain-lined saucepan,
hold the saucepan over the stove and
beat tie ingredients together continu-
ally for five minutes. DO not let the
saucepan rest on the stove, but tip it all
the time so that every part of the mix
ture may be moved by the beating. Use
an egg whip in beating. Finally, the
mixture will have thickened, remove it
from the fire and add at once the whites
of three eggs beaten to very stiff
froth. Continue to beat in the whites
with an egg-whip for five minutes. Line
ten-inch pieplate with rich pastry and
pour in the filling. Bake the PIE three
quarters of an hour in a rather quick
oven. The whites will not separate
from the butter and sugar if the pie is
properly made. Cut the pie as soon us
il is taken out of the oven. Serve it cold
or hot. If the butter, sugar and yollts
sink to the bottom and the whites rise
10 the top the pie has not been prop
erly mixed. The secret lies in properly
beating the butter, sugar and yolks to-
gether over the fire to form a slightly
thickened mass, which, when mixed
with the whites, becomes species of
sponge. 1t is an improvement 10 most
sponge cakes to be raised with eggs
alone and to heat the yolls of the eggs
and sugar over the fire while beating
them together. The beating must be
stopped moment or the eggs would
be ruined by curdling.-N. Y. Tribune.

Value of a Slave.

When the slave trade was in full
swing, it was common thing for mer-
chants on the west coast of Africa to
purchase n cargo of rum and tobacco
and give slaves in exchange. The price
of a prime slave when Mungo Park was
among the Mandingoes was from nine
to twelve minikallies, the equivalent OF
one minikalli being something like the
following: Eighteen gun-fnts, 40
leaves of tobacco, 90 charges of gun
powder and n cutlass. DR.. Living
stone, than whom no explorer did more
to expose the ravages of the slave-raid-
err, says he never knew of an African
parent selling his own offspring. When
on his first great missionary journey
he relates how, in n foray among thu
Makololo, 30 captives were given in ex-
change for three English muskets.
Livingstone is especially severe on the
Beers for looting his mission station
in 1852, killing many of the Bakwnins.
and driving nearly 200 of his mission
children into slavery. The Beers, by
so retarding his work. and making him
uncomfortable at Kolobcng, helped 10
decide him to move northward, a de-
cision upon which hung the future of

AN AMERICAN PLAN.
A SojOurner Lured Into Pauam
Street,
paws for, His Lodging bad Then Bounced
Beaten With Bamboo Sticks and
Then Clicked.

Alexander Greig, Egyptian, oc-
cupation, dock laborer, was at the
station house last night as prose
cutor OF two japanese who had
assaulted him in room on Paauhl
street.
Greig showed evidences of pretty
rough handling his throat was
scratched and his head bruised in
two or three places, and he was
minus his shirt, vest and So so.
His story to an ADVERTISERS re-
porter was to the effect that as he
was on his way home walking out
King street last night he was &C
costed by a Japanese and asked If
he would not like to be introduced
to some of the bellies on Paauhi
street. Greig said he was not
anxious as he was in hurry to
get home and read his Koran.
But the Japanese evidently pic
tured the thing in such glowing
colors that the Egyptian weakened
and accompanied his tempter to
the Whitechapel district.
The place proved to be a lodging
house, and Aleck paid $3.50 for
his lodging until 5 am, at which
hour he was to be called so that he
could go the dock and work all
day for dollar and a half.
He had partly disrobed when a
little brown Jap broke in on the
privacy of the room and inquired
what his intentions were. Greig
replied that he proposed to sleep
out his $3.50, and, before he could
even make a complaint as the con-
veniences of the place, the Jap
seized a bamboo stick and began to
pummel him. He fought back until
endorsements arrived, and he
called for help. William Widdi-
field, a half-caste, heard the call
and ran into the house and, as
Greig puts it, saved his life.
Police whistles were blown, and
T. B. Murray, who was standing
on Nuuanu street, ran to the
house with the policemen and sue
ceeded in capturing two Japanese.
Four others who Greig says par
ticipated in the assault escaped.
The men arrested gave their
names as Hoshimato and "Jim."
The formers wardrobe consisted OF
handsome ecru maIo and an ex-
preston of disgust. Jim is well
known as a manipulation of bread
at Horns bakery, and bears a
good reputation. Greig states
that it was he who slashed at his
| throat.
Greig admitted taking a couple
of glasses, but showed no signs O
being drunk. The two Japs will
have a hearing this morning on the
charge of assault and battery.
