CHICAGO, April 25.-The weather was the
burning question in the wheat pit. 1t looks
as II rain or no rain in the far Northwest and
not, dry weather in the winter country, or
cool, slowly ripenhg conditions, might gov
ern the market fluctuations for some time to
come. There was fair trade in wheat and a
moderately active market, prices having
range OF %c@1c. The feeling developed was
easier, and lower prices ruled early. A fair
recovery occurred later, the close showing
loss OF A@asc. Weekly clearings were the
smallest since July, 1895, 1,2S6, 600 bushels.
The weather map showed better conditions
In the Northwest than for some time There
was a moderate trade in corn. And final
hgures showed a Ac loss. There was not as
large trade In oats. May showed the most
weakness, declining Nc and closed at almost
the bottom. Provisions were sick, or at least
the holders of the goods were feeling that
way Judging from the way they were throw
ing up their holdings. Pork suffered a loss
OF 2Oc, lard 71Rc and ribs 10c. The following
closing quotations for July are the lowest
Tor the season, and as regards lard. it breaks
previous low-priced records: July pork.
sS.o71s; lard, $4.s5@4.971a; ribs, s435. Esti-
mates: Wheat, IL cars; corn, 2so cars; oats.
lsO cars; hogs, $4,000 head.
The leading futures ranged as follows.

Methods of Preparing Jumbles,
Cookies, CruIIers and Other Lit
tie Dainties.
Small cakes always delight the little ones,
besides pleasing their elders, and are alike in
demand for afternoon teas and children's
parties. To make cookies or jumbles of any
kind requires time and patience, but if the
results are satisfactory the time is well spent,
and woman writer Of note says: "My
brightest thoughts come to me while l. am
making CAKE OF the numberless recipes
for small cakes the following have been tried
and tested:
To make delicious sugar jumbles, weigh
half-pound of powdered sugar and the same
quantity of butter, and cream them together.
Beat two eggs light and stir into the creamed
mixture, and then add three-quarters of a
pound Of slfted -four and flavor with lemon or
vanilla extract Sprinkle moulding board
with granulated sugar. Break off pieces of
the dough the size of a walnut roll them
lightly with the palm of the hand on the
sugared board, and twist them into rings.
Lay them on buttered tins an inch apart.
Bake them in q moderate oyen
For cocoanut jumbles, stir together TWO
cups OF sugar, one cup Of butter, and the
yolks of two eggs. Add one grated scocoanut
and. two and one-half cups of flour, measured
before sitting. Last, stir in lightly the
VI
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture on buttered
tins about an inch apart and bake in a quick
oven.
Cinnamon Jumbes are made thus: To a
half pound of granulated sugar add Quarter
OF a pound of butter and stir to cream.
Beat three eggs light and add them with a
scant half-cup Of milk. Sft with half a
pound of flour one and one-half teasnoonflIs
or baking powder and stir into the other in

butter drop them into some pulverized Gin
namon, roll them around so that a little of
the cinnamon shall stick to both sides of the
batter and drop them on creased baking
pans, allowing room for them to spread
Bake in quick oven.
Delicious fruit jumbles, called hermits. are
prepared thus' Mix together one and one
half cups of sugar, one cup of butter. and the
yclks OF three eggs. Add one and one-half
tc2spoonfuls each of allspice cloves and ein
nomon. Dissolve in a little warm water ono
tcaspoonful of soda and add to the other in
gradients with a generous cup of raisins
seeded and chopped fine and the white Of
three eggs beaten to froth Add f1our
enough to make batter as thick as for fruit
cake. Place teaspoonfuls of the mixture on
buttered tins an inch apart and bake them
IN a brisk oven.
To make cardcmom cookies: With one
pound of brown sugar mix three ounces of
butter and stir ii, one at a time three whole
eggs. Add one tablespoonful each Of pulver-
tied ginger and cloves, two tabiespoonfuls
Of cinnamon and one pound Of -four. Roll
the dough out thin and cut it in diamond
shapes and place in buttered tins. Have
ready q few 5laached almonds and put half
an almond on each point and bake in hot
oven.
To. make vanilla waters, cream half a.
pound of butter with the same amount of su-

Long time my hyacinths abode
In cerement-swathing gloom;
Today they fill with spicy breath
And light of loveliest bloom
The chamber where my darling sits,
And cheer her darkened room.
So out of shadowy cell full oft
Streams forth golden ray
To show the path our feet shall tread,
To smooth a doubtful way,
And evertnore, fast following night,
Comes on the kindling day.
Dear little garden preachers, who
Such tender lessons speak,

FOUR WORkMEN sUFFoCATED.

One Overcome and the Others Perish
ed In Trying to Rescue Him.
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, August 11.-Four
worknen ere suffocated yesterday after
noon by sulphuric acid gas at the chemi-
ical works of Moro Phillips. on the out
skirts of Camden. The victims were JOS
eph Devln of 91S Market street, James
Muller of ITO Cooper street, Andrew Adler
of 1914 Pine street George Garrison, resi-
dence not known.
The four men were coaling up the retort.
which was connected with twin one by a
fiue In the manufacture of the deadly
acid it was necessary to cover the CRATES
of the retort with layer of ashes In order
that the pea coal which is used will not
fall down. The ashes had been put in, and
Mullen went down into the retort to smooth
them over. 1t is supposed that the coal
gas from the twin retort escaped In some
way through the fiue, for he was overcome
while he was at the bottom OF the retort
Devln went to his assistance and was also
overcome by the noxious gas, as were the
two others, who went down to see what
was the matter.
the men were hauled out by ropes and
taken to the Cooper Hospital. BY the time
the wagon reached the hospital Mullen.
Devlin and Adler were dead. and Garrison
died about an hour later, without having
resained consciousness.

COrOner's Inquest Into the Killing of
John l.. Ford.
This afternoon at the sixth precinct sta
ton Coroner Hammett held an inquest in
the Georgetown shooting case, in which Co.
lumbus, or "Lum," Pearson shot q young
man named John L. Ford. The aged pris-
oner was not present at the inquest as he
had been committed to Jail on a charge of
attempted murder before the death of his
victim. There was nobody present at the
inquest to look after the prisoners interests.
The Cooper woman, who had lived with
Pearson for a long time, and about whom
the murder was committed, was not before
the coroners jury as a witness. She was
not present at the house at the time of the
shooting and. therefore, the police thought
her evidence was not necessary. Seven wit
nesses, including the policemen in the case.
were examined and their evidence showed
the facts connected with the shooting, as
stated in yesterdays Star. The bullet had
entered the young mans side. when his back
was turned toward the alleged murderer.
and the piece of lead ploughed through the
intestines. The wound was necessarily
fatal. No evidence was offered to show the
relations which existed between Pearson
and the Cooper woman. as this will be a
matter of defense in the Criminal Court
The jury listened to the evidence and re.
turned verdict holding Pearson respon-
sible for the crime.
The funeral Of Ford will take place from
his parents residence. 1896 Jefferson street.
