There ig nothing new In the use OF
flowers 40 edibles, they are eaten va
riously In various parts Of the world,
and In many cases form really impor-
tamt article Of food. In India, for in
stance, the baSsia tree blossoms are held
in high esteem, In spite Of their sweet
and sicl1ly taste, while the flower buds
Of capparis spinosa, a plant which
grows on walls, ETC., In the south Of
Europe, are picked in vinegar in Italy
and form what are commonly known as
Capers. The ordinary cloves Of com
merce, familiar to all housewives, are
the unexpanded buds of small ever
green, cultivated in several parts Of
the East and West Indies.
In our own United States many a
humble cook has discovered the value Of
the green dandelion as a vegetable. The
first shoots only are flt for food. Later
they become bitter and stringy. Cut
OF the roots, pick them very carefully
end wash we'll In several waters, then
put them In saucepan Of boiling wa
ter, add tablespoonful Of salt and
boil and hour. When done, drain and
chop fine, then fry them with table
spoonful of butter, salt and pepper to
taste, stir until thoroughly heated and
serve with an egg or butter sauce.
Another method Of treating dande-
lions is TO wash the leaves through sew
eral waters, then chop them into small
pieces. Beat an egg, add q half cup Of
cream to It, stir over FIRE until 10
thickens, then add piece Of butter the
size of walnut two tablespoonfuls Of
vinegar, salt and pepper to taste. Drop

Lime for the Poultry Yard.

Air-slacked lime scattered about the

many instances, and alwaye prove of
benefit in any case. Vermin is de-
stroycd by the busting Of roosts, walls
and floors with this penetrating, puri-
tying powder; while in the outer runs
the earth is cleansed Of much of the
poisonous quality by use Of lime. No
harm comes from the lime habit, but
on the contrary great deal Of good

Cleanliness is the keynote, and tho
employment Of agents Of this sort is the

STEPHENS FOR GOVERNOR.

Gain In Cities and Democrats
In Rural Districts.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 4.-Lon v. Stephens
will act as the chief executive of the
great state Of Missouri. He was swept
TO victory yesterday by the silver SEN
timent which gained tenacious hold
in the agricultural districts Of the
state. There Is no doubt, although the
returns are coming in from the interior
of the state at a snail pace, Of the cleo
tion Of the Bryan electors and the en-
tire democratic state ticket. The state
legislature will also be democratic and
United States Senator George G.. Vest
will probable succeed himself.
Returns from all of the precincts in
the city Of St Louis have not yet been
made, but the democrats concede that
Mckinley and Lewis have carried the
city by about 10000 The delay in
casting up the vote here is due to the
fact that the law requires that the
judges shall count all the votes for the
four constitutional amendments separ-
ately before beginning the count of
the votes for the various candidates on
the ballot. The returns show greatly
increased vote for both parties over
1892. The republicans seemed to have
gained in the cities and the democrats
in the country districts.
Chairman Cook, Of the democratic
state committee, said this morning
that the returns so far as received in
dicated that Bryan had carried the
state by 1000 to $4,000 He admitted
that Stephens had run at least 10000
votes behind the silver champion.
Bryan, he said, would come to the Mis-
sissippi river with $4,000 majority and
Stephens with 10000
The democrats seem to have regained
some of the congressional districts lost
In the landslide Of two years ago.
They claim the election Of 10 congress
men outside of this city, including r.
P. Bland. Barthold (rep) in the Tenth
district and Pearce (rep. in the Twelfth
are elected. The race between Joy
(rep.) and Hunt (dem.) in the Eleventh
district is still in doubt. The repub-
lican ticket In this city was elected.
The proposition to remove the state
capital from jefferson City to SedsliA
was defeated overwhelmingly, and It

time, at least. The farmers voted
against the removal because they
feared 1t would entail expense upon
them.

CHARGED WITH SWINDLING.
II. II. Harvard Taken Into Custody
on I.ncknwnnnn Avenue.


H. II. Harvard is the name of young
man gives who was arrested un I.acka-
wanna avenue at noon yesterday by
PatrOlman Haggerty on warrant is
sued by Alderman Millar. The war
rant was sworn out by Job Whitehouse.
of the West Side. and the charge is OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.
Whitehouse claims that his mother
in-law invested in a building and loan
association represented by the ac-
cused, and that she was swindled. Az
ter making several payments she found
that the company she thought she was
paying into is not represented in this
city by the agent who called upon her
and that he simply took her money and
put 1t in his pocket.
When Whitehouse swore out the war;
rant he had an arrangement to meet
the agent on Lackawanna avenue and
Special Officer John Tierney was given
the warrant and was told to follow
Whitehouse up and arrest the agent as
soon as Whitehouse met him and gave
the signal to come forward. The agent
did not fall into the trap set for him,
but Whitehouse met him later on the
avenue and turned him over to PATROL
man Haggerty who was close at hand.
Upon being charged before Alderman
Millar with the crime he plead that he
was only in the employ of another man,
who is now in Honesdale. He was
committed to the police station for a
further hearing and Officer Tierney
went to Honesdale at 4 o'clock to try
and find the man whom Harvard
claims is the principal.

LOCATED AT PHILLIPSBURG.
Young Robert Barrier and Miss
Elyanice Gritiiths Married There.

Nearly three weeks have elapsed
since Mrs Thomas G. Gritfiths, of Tay-
lor, informed the Scranton police that
her daughter, Elvanice, had clipped with
Robert Barrier, also of Taylor, and now
the whereabouts of the couple Is
learned for the first time. Dispatches
from Phillipsburg, N. j., say that Mrs.
Griffiths arrived at that place yester-
day, and upon going to the house of
Frank Poyer. who formerly lived in
Scranton, the mother found young Bar
rier and his wife safe in the arms of
Hymen.
They had been married by Rev. r.
K Boyd, pastor of the Main Street
Methodist Episcopal church, at Phil
lipsburg. Barrier told the minister
that he was twenty-one years of age,
and that his bride-elect was eighteen
years of age. Mrs. Griffiths says that
her daughter is but 16 years of age,
and that Barrier is only 10 years old.
According to the report Mrs. Griff1ths
begged both young people to accom-
pany her home. which the husband re-
fused to do, and the dispatch ends with
the information that the mother of
the girl was frantic until she found
her daughter When she saw the mar
riage certificate she was happy and
gave both her blessing, and said their
fathers would do the same if they
would only go back to Taylor, but the
husband feared to face the music and
decided to remain in Phillipsburg with
his wife,"
1t was learned that neither Mrs. Grif-
fths or her son-in-law and daughter
had returned to Taylor up to a late
hour last night.

KERNER'S PACK WAS
PLACED ON THE ROAD
When He Went Back he Found Il Had
Disappeared.
SAYS THAT IT WAS WORTH $500
lie Refused to Pay Fare for His Pack
and Conductor Ii. T.. vending Took
il Out of the Car and Placed it ON
the Road ... Complaint Entered
Against the COnductO:.

d. Kerner, q pack-peddler, of 339
Penn avenue. lost his stock in trade
valued at $500 in rather peculiar way
last night.
Kerner, with two packs, containing
jewelry and fancy articles. got aboard
u Peckville car at 80 O'Clock last night
intending to so to Olypjhant. The con-
ductor, b. Z. Welding, compelled him
to pay five cents extra for his bun-
dies, one of which he had placed on
the seat beside him and the other on
the floor at his feet. When the city
line was reached the conductor again
took uD his fare and wanted another
five cents for the packages. kerner re-
fused to pay the second time for the
packages, saying he had no more
money. Thereupon the conductor
picked up the packages and taking
them out the front way deposited them
on the street. Then he went back ana
offering Kerner his fare back, told him
to get off. Kerner refused to do either
so the conductor gave two bells and
started the car onward.
At StOrrs' crossing kerner got up and
looked out on the front platform. where
he supposed, as he now states. the
conductor had placed his packages.
Seeing they We're not there he rushed
back to the conductor and demanded
to know what he had done with his
bundles. The conductor cOOlly told
him that they had been deposited on
the road at the city line.
Kerner started on run back to
city line, only to find, as he feared,
that his packs had disappeared. He
made some inquiries whereabouts, but
could learn nothing of his missing
treasures. He thereuDpn fastened to
&.,lx n a
plaint against the conductor and also
the foundation of a damage suit.
He says that among other things the
packages contained three gentlemen )
gold watches, two ladies' gold watches,
nine silver watches, twenty-one watch
chains, nineteen lockets, a quantity or
such other valuables as gold rings,
ld-rimmed spectacles, silver thimbles
and brooches and quantity of laces
and costly embroideries. All In all he
says his stock was valued at $500.
Conductor Welding says he could not
do otherwise than put the packages off
when Kerner refused to pay for them.
He wanted Kerner to get off, too, and
offered three different times to give
him back his fare. Kerner. however,
refused either to take back his fare or
pay for the packages, and as there was
no reason for putting Kerner off, the
only thing to be done was to leave him
stay on, if he so chose.
Kerner says the conductor did not In
| innate in any way that he intended to
put the packages off the car and he
supposed that when the conductor took
them out that it was to place them on
the front platform. The conductor did
not tell him that the packages had
been placed in the road until he in
uuired for them at Storr's crossing.
