BEARDON PROCESS BUTTER
DR.. Salmon Declines to Give it a
Grade

Washington, Nov. 23.-Dr. D. E. Salmon,
chief of the bureau of animal industry of
the agricultural department, has made q
report to the secretary of agriculture on
what IS known as the BeardOn process of
making butter. The report describes the
process, which consists of churning a GER
tain quantity of butter with cream, and
also the experiments conducted by the de-
partment. The resulting compounds We're
sent to New York, where an expert was
requested to score them. He reported

DR.. Salmon then says: BY following
quality of cream which one would natur-
ally take for this purpose, a. product will
be obtained which resembles butter in
some respects. 1t does contain, claim
ed, a little more of the phosphate and
other elements that supply the tissue
wants of the human body, than is found
in good butter, but dairymen endeavor to
wash and work these elements out of
their butter, because they furnish food for
bacteria which cause the butter to spoil.
AS a human food, the product cannot be
said to be better than butter. for the rea-
son that it contains less fat and more
water The slight increase in nitrogen
Gus constituents amounts to little. from
this standpoint. as the same can be OBJ
tained in much cheaper and better form

Considering the large proportion of
water which the product manufactured
by this new process contains, it does not
seem proper to call it butter, and it is

The Latest Society Melodrama to
Take the Boards in New York.

rake the Boards IN N eW OrBs
New York, Nov. 23.-Last night Chas.
FrOhman made his annual melOdramat-
&c production at the Academy of Music.
The piece which he offered was entitled,
The White Heather" and was written
by the same men who turned out "The
Sporting Duchess Its story is told in
ten scenes.
Probably the most spectacular scene
was the reproduction of the famous
Duchess of DeVonShire's ball, which was
given in London just before the Queens
begins in Scotland, and the first stage
picture presented shows the Scotch
mountains covered with mist. The
breaking of the mist follows, and re-
VeaIS a shepherd among his flock. Then
comes the English stock exchange, with
its noisy buzz, and after that Battlesea
Park, which is the resort of all London
bicycle riders. Boulters' Lock on the
Thames, with its panorama of excurs-
ION boats, was pictured and toward the
end OF the play deep-sea incident of a
thrilling kind was offered with a sub

cast of SO people. Mr.. FrOhman heads
the list, with Miss Rose COghlan, who
has rolI1ching comedy part, which runs
through the entire play, and which was
the first part that this favorite actress
mas created in New York for several
years. Miss Olive May, who left the
stage Immediately after making a great
success IN Butterflies is also in the
cast, and so is Amelia Bingham. Fran
els Carlyle, who makes a splendid fig
ure as a hero, is fitted with a part that
exactly suits him. Associated with him
in the cast are Henry HarWOod, form
erly of John Drew's company; r. F.
Cotton, S. Miller Kent and other well
known players.

CREEKS FEAR ABOLITION.
Consider Proposition to Consolidate
the Five Tribes.

st. Louis, Nov ga special to the
Republic from Muskogee, I. T., says:
An extra session of the Creek council
convened at Okmulgee, L T, today They
viii consider the advisability of consol-
idating the five civilized tribes of the
Indian Territory preparatory to coming
into the Union as a state, in the hope
that congress, seeing their intention,
will not pass any sweeping legislation
at its coming session, regarding the
abolition of their tribal governments.
There is considerable talk of an at
tempt being made at the present ses-
sion of the council to impeach Chief
E. B. ChiIders, who was suspended on
account of an alleged shortage of over
$4,000, but it is almost certain that
neither of these attempts will be sue

Miners Refuse to Travel on Road
That Pushes It's Cars

Brazil. Ind, Nov. 23.@Today the 400
miners that work in the mines and go
to and from the mines on a special
train run on the c. & Z. L, decided at a
meeting held here today to refuse to
travel over the road unless their train
was pulled by, instead of being pushed
in front of the engine, as has been the
custom for some time.
The wreck yesterday evening caused
the miners to take this stand.
