How to ORES, = Deer.

The following directions as to how to
dress a deer will doubtless be of interest
A deer should be bled directly after being
killed. for If they are left any time the
blood will become cOagulated, so that 1t
will not run at ALL About eight inches OF
the neck should be cut open then cut
the windpipe: the outlet should be drawn
out. separating the gullet from the wind
pipe: cut 1t and knot or tie the end at
tached to the stomach SO that nothing be
allowed to escape to stain the flesh while
hanging. The next thing to be done is to
cut the diaphragm all round the chest,
separating the liver from the kidneys. not
uniting to cut the spinal artery. as. If
left. it will probably take away part of
the kidneys. Then all that remains to be
done is to take out the heart. lungs and
liver, which should come all together.
Sho1ld any blood remain, by raising the
launches it will all flow out at the neck.
Then you have what alone should be
termed a clear deer. With the lights,
ETC.. deer will generally weigh from
twelve to sixteen pounds more than II
weighed clean.

No Armor Plate Plant.

The board of naval experts to whom
was submitted by Secretary Long the
question of the advisabilty of the gov
eminent constructing its own naval
armor plant has made its report, which
is Of especial interest to ScrantOnians
in view of the fact that Scranton was
one of the competitors for the privi-
lege of supplying the site for this plant
in case its construction should be de-
cided uDon
The board estimates that a plant ca
pable Of producing 5000 tons of first
class armor plate per annum, eXclus-
i've of site or freight charges, would
cost $3,747,912. In addition it contends
that if the government decides to go
into the business of manufacturing ar
NOR plate it will need also plant
capable of producing the steel ingots
needed in making plates. This would
cost $5l9,l33 additional, bringing the
total cost up to $4,2G7, O45, or with site
and extras, probably not less than So
100000. The report without expressing
any opinion in the premises summar-
iZes the chief considerations in these
words:
!. An armor factory comprises essen
TALLY a collection Of special furnaces.
heavy machine tools and appliances that
are not needed in any other class of
work and class of labor specially
skilled in the business.
:. government armOr factory not con-
nected with an establishment engaged in
other branches of the steel industry
| would depend for its success and econ
omic administration upon a constant de-
mand for an output nearly approaching
| its full capacity.
3. If the government should establish
an armor factory the efficient and econ
omic maintengnCc or working Of that fac
| tory would necessarily depend upon a
| constant yearly appropriation for ships
| to be provided with armor, because the
| armor produced at any time must be
| specially designed for and fitted to those
| ships. ANY failure to appropriate for
| those ships i'm any one year would re.
| quire the cessation of work and the lay
| ing off indefinitely of the skilled experts
| and laborcrs that had been trained to this
| industry a resumption Of work AT o

Of men. In the meantime the progress OF
| the art would perhaps have been sucl
! that difficult and radical changes would

working, might have been gradually ant

That National University.

From the moment Of its esta ahlish
mcnt as city. Washington has been
regarded by men and women of intelli-
gcnce as the ideal site for a great uni
varsity and each succeeding year has
added to the appropriateness of the
suggestion, urged first by President
Vi ashingtun and sucC cssively after
ward by Presidents Adams, jefferson,
Madison, Monroe and Quincy Adams,
that congress establish at the capital
national institution of higher C1uca
tiOn.
in his will dated July 9, 1879, Presi-
dent Washington bequeathed fifty
shares of the Potomac company of the
value of $500 each to be the nucleus ot
an University fund. There does not
appear to be any clearly defined idea
concerning what has become of this
fund, which ought by this time it is
estimated, to amount to &,OOO,OOO or
more. The National George Washing
ton Memorial association, an Organi2a-
tion Of patriotic women, of which Mrs.
Ellen Richardson Of Boston is national
chairman, Mrs. William 5. Carter of
Philadelphia, chairman for Pcnnsyl-
| Vania and Mrs. Girarl :. Mead, of 6i3
Fast Market street, Green Ridge vice
president for North EASTERN PCnnsyl-
vania, intends to hold a national con-
VcntiOn at Washington on Dec. II, -
and IL, at which steps will he taken to
ascertain, if possible, where the Wash
| inGtOn Memorial university fund is,
| now much it is and why it is not doing
| it's appointed work. Congress orCC or
| twice has exhibited languid interest in
! the matter, but now it will be urged
| to act with decision. II congress is
wise. now that the women have taken
the subject in hand, it will not take
| refuge in evasion.
Ir the meanwhile the women Of the
| country are determined to raise by
popular CriptiOn-preferably by
| penny offerings from the school chill
drcn--a fund Of $25O,OOo, for one build
ing Of the University to be known as
the Womens Memorial building. The
| purpose cannot fail to commend itself
| Immediately and heartily to every
| american citizen worth of his civic
hirthright and its success should be-
| come a matter of national pride.

A FINE PROSPECT.
From the Wilkes-Barrc Record.

EIo the WilkeS-Barrc ItcCorl.
The taxpayers of Lackawanna county
have a fine prospect before them of hav-
ing their taxes increased in the near
future in consequence Of the election
contests that have been instituted. If
former similar contests In Lackawanna
may be taken as IA criterion, the costs
that will be incurred i'm these four cases
will foot up an enormous amount If
these contests shall develop fraud on the
part of election boards, not "a single one
of the guilty parties should be permitted
to escape prosecution. If, on the other
hand, it shall he shown that there was
no substantial cause for institutinE these
CCutestG then every dollar of the costs
should be put upon the petitioners, where
they belong. 1t seems to us that the
Lack savanna judges have a very grave
Re sEunsiblity resting upon them in these
cases. Dishonest elections are a griev-
Gus outrage upon the people; unwarrant-
el contests are an imposition upon the
taNraycrs The courts should protect the
people by severely furnishing violators
of the election laws and in cases OF
| causeless contests make the petitioners
pay the costs.

NO BRISKER BUSINESS CITY.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The Scranton Tribune few days ago
set apart eight pages of its issue for the
purpose of bringing to the public atten-
tion some Of the capabilities and attrac-
tions which make Scranton a desirable
city to visit and an excellent place 10
live in. 1he Tribune insists that Scran.
ton is the third city of the Keystone state
and the place for the assemblage of con-
ventions. The Tribune says nothing
about the tax rate; but the Record bears
willing witness To the fact that Scranton
is a well governed city, with such advan'
tagcs for manufacturing operations as
few other cities in the country can boast
There is no brisker business town il

admiration for sheer manhood becomes
an idolatry with them. Certainly the
political career of the great speaker
shows no sign of the abrupt end which
some of his antagonists have recently
prcsagod. SO long as this mperious,
Eood-naturcd man, this hatcr of hum
bug, Is willing to stay in Washington the
people of the whole country will be glad
to know he is there, and in the front
row. Reed is likely to stay in Washing

needed there. Besides, Fate is not yet

Tribune so strikihgly presents, make it
az it is a great city with its churches,

and manufacturing enterprises. Mother
Luzerne should be proud of her offspring,

elements in its population and conse-
quently in its politics than any other
city mentioned i'm the list. t2) Not only
is the area of Scranton larger in pro-
portion tO population than that of any
other city named but it is an area
comprising an unique subdivision into
sections, more or less antagonistic to
each other in their municipal relations;
as, for example, the South Side, CEN

Green Ridge, every one of these re-

grown so much more rapidly than the
seven other cities named, in both
wealth and population, that the prob

yet largely to be solved We have
perhaps not done i'll, considering the
time spent; but what has been done
so far is only the beginning Of what
