silver sentiment.

Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 9.-The silver
sentiment is paramount in the state cap
ital tonight, On the eve of the recon-
vened democratic state convention. OF
four hundred and fifty odd delegates,
the gold leaders thus far only lay claim
to 81, and there is an overwhelming
majority against them. They will pro-
badly attempt to enforce their claims
for recognition in the organization. The
question at issue, whether the officers of
the original state convention at Allen
town, April 2o,should act in their capaci-
ties at the reconvened gathering, was
decided adversely tonight by the state
executive committee, and as a conse-
quence the convention tomorrow will
have all the elements of an entirely
new body. There is an absence of en-
thusiasm tonight, and the customary
crowds are not in evil
dence, although it is stated that every
county in the state will be represented
at the convention.

VIOLATING THE LAW.
Railroads Charge More for a short
Than Long Haul.

Washington, Sept. 6.-The inter state
commerce commission has under con-
siderafion communications received by
it charging that the Southern railroad
company, now engaged in cut-rate
war with the Seaboard Air Line, has
violated the fourth section of the inter-
state commerce act, prohibiting a
greater charge for shorter than for a
long haul. Auditor Smith of the COM
mission says the Southern is certainly
using rates greater for intermediate
points than for long distances, while the
Seaboard Airline rates are uniform.
One of the officials of the Southern,
when asked concerning the charge that
the fourth section of the law was being
violated said:
81 should say the railroad companies
in this entirely unwarranted
rate war, caused by the Seaboard Air
Line company, by unreasonable reduc-
ton of rates, would protect their own
interests as we'll as the ultimate inter-
ests of the public by combining cut rates
to the fewest number of points, and
that they are justified in so doing un-
der the extraordinary and exceptional
conditions prevailing"

THE PEANUT As'FooD.

There has been organized in
this city company for the manu-
facture of oil and food products
out of the common peanut. The
company is known as the Ameri-
can Food and Oil Company.
Concerning the manufacture of
food products and oil out Of the
peanut, it may be said that it is
practically and experiment in this
country, although it has been one
of the great industries of France
and especially of Marseilles for a
great many years.
The statement of Edward At
kinson, of Boston, the we'll known
political economist and statisti-
clan, that within a few years the
peanut crop will be one Of the
prime staples of the south was,
no doubt, a surprise to many, but
statistics bear the statement. out
and it is conclusively proved that
the industry is constantly grow
ing. A few of the facts about
peanut oil and peanut meal are
very interesting. The oil is said
to be so like olive oil that only
the chemist or the expert can de-
tect the difference. Its flavor is
pleasant and bland, and may, on
account of its purity, eventually
supplant olive oil in all culinary
usues of the table.
The refined forms of the oil are
used as the basis for all pure toi-
let soaps which are manufactured
in France. The crude oil is an
excellent lubricant, being equal
to sperm oil, besides being non
oxidizing and free from gum. Its
keeping qualities are superior tc
cottonseed oil. Other uses to
which it is put are for slab dress
ing by confectionsrs and wooIeI
manufacturers, and in the mouldi
of plug tobacco manufacturers
The kernel or feshy part of th'
nut, in its properties as a food
closely resemble the sofa bean
which is used by the armies O
foreign countries as a ration, ant
has a much higher nourishin,
value. 1t can bo manufacture'
