HIS VICTIM WILL RECOVER.
Manning DespOndent Over the Re.
suit of His Rash Act.

The victim of Saturday nights shoot
ing ARRAY, young Charles Hokanson,
suffered considerable pain at the city
| hospital Some of the sixty shots pene-
trated the lads left thigh, while a half
| dozen were extracted after the shoot
ing. The patient will recover, but it
will be some time before he will be well
again
The prisoner and the patient sub
stantiated the details of the story told
in the G / o b e. Hokanson's story is as
follows: Il was down on First street
south, across from Manning's house, at
1917, intending to speak to a friend.
Manning came out of his house and
| across the street, with his gun in his
hand. He took me to his house and
said he was going to turn me over to
the police. l said L had done nothing
wrong and wanted to know why he
wanted me. L didn't know the man.
Then he took me down the street and
said he was going to take me to the
station. When we got near my house,
at 1911 Second street, l said l would go
into the house and he could talk to
my mother. He said that he wouldn't
do that, and that he was going to have
me locked up. When nearer my house,
l was about three steps in front of him,
and [ thought he was raising his gun
to strike me. Then / started to run
and he fired at me. l don't know why
he wanted me arrested or why he
should shoot me. l didn't do anything
l guess that Manning was drunk when
he did it,
Young Hokanson is an innocent
young man of tWenty-one years, and
stated further that he had never been
around Manning's house or had
troubled him in any way. He returned
from the St. Peter hospital three
months ago, for fourteen months pre-
vicus to which he had been at that in
stitution. He lives with his mother
and older brother Gust. For some time
he has been employed in the Bemis
Bag company's plant.
Manning was a respondent man
when seen by the G o b reporter at
the Third precinct police station last
night. He was very reticent regarding
the affair. Il have been advised not
to say anything" said the prisoner,
land don't think 1 could add anything
am sorry that it happened and wish I
had not done it. Yes, the boys had
been troubling me, but why L shot this
boy | don't want to say. L wasn't
drunk, as the boy says" Questioned
as to why he had attempted to arrest
the boy, Manning would say nothing.
He seemed to be very respondent at
what he had done. Manning is a miller
and has been employed by the Wash
burn Crosby company for the past five
years. He is a very large man of more
than ordinary intelligence. He is
charged with assault with a dangerous
weapon. and will be arraigned in the
municipal court today.

BUTTER MADE WHILE YOU WAR
New Churn Turns 1t Out From Sweet
Cream In Five Minutes.

Cream In Five Minutes.
Thrifty housewives of old fashioned
notions would have turned green with
envy last week If they could have seen
the exhibition of butter making which
took place daily in a Dearborn street
basement. Butter Of a splendid flavor
and appearance was made in five to
seven minutes there, and, more re-
markable still, it was made from sweet
cream. Most astonishing of all, the
buttermilk left was not buttermilk at
all, but sweet cream still, suitable for
ordinary uses on the table, says the
Chicago Tribune.
This remarkable performance was
made possible by new churn, which,
In reality, is not a churn at all 1t is
called a separator instead, since it does
not work on the old "kerplunk' princi-
pie of a churn, but stirs around the
liquid by means Of a whirling set of
blades. Yet it accomplishes the neces-
sary work of agitating the cream and
filling it with air, the two essentials Of
butter making.
The new butter-Separator Is made in
various sizes, according to the demands
for it's use. 1t consists essentially Of
fair-sized pail, set of revolving blades
inside, and train Of gearing to turn
the latter. The blades are Of tin, like
SI1ldll WlHuIIllll OF the screw Oh q
propeller, and are mounted on a hollow
shaft down which air is fed to the
liquid inside the pail. A large wheel
and small one, a clever piece Of fieX-
ible revolving shaft, and a handle to
turn all completes the equipment.
In the exhibitions given twice daily
last week with the new machine a gal
lon Of ordinary sweet dairyman's cream
was put in the churn and the gear turn
ed by hand. In five minutes the butter
was formed, and the residual cream,
still sweet, allowed to drain out through
a tube in the bottom of the separator.
Then a couple of washings of clean
water were poured In and the butter
thoroughly agitated again by turning
the machine. In the last washing was
put little salt and coloring if desired,
so that when the butter was taken
from the churn at the end of seven
minutes it was ready for the table and
of most superior quality. Out of a
gallon of cream about pound of but
ter and three quarts Of residual cream
were usually secured.
Thus every one may be his own
dairymaid in the years of progress to
come Ten minutes work with a few
quarts Of cream will supply a table
with the best of butter, of whose gen.
uineness and purity there can be no
question. More than that, the process
furnishes a ready check, by weight,
on the quality Of cream being supplied
by the milkman, since Lake Michigan
water, according to the inventor of the
new separator, yields only traces Of
butter on long agitation.

STRANGE, If TRUE.
How Brooklyn Doctor Educated n
North Carolina Hamlet.

"A Brooklyn physician in making an
nual hunting trips to the wilds of North
Carolina discovered the dearth of news
papers among the people of that state
and the utter ignorance of many con-
corning topics of the day, says the New
York Tribune
This set the doctor thinking, and It
resulted in his saving all newspapers
and magazines when he had reached his
home after one of his shooting trips.
and sending them to the host who had
entertained him while in the South.
The grateful recipient of the literature,
after reading it himself, distributed it
among his friends, and this was kept
up for a whole year. The next time
that the doctor journeyed to the little
North Carolina hamlet he was greatly
impressed by the mental development
of his friends there He was surprised
to find that the people whom he former
ly talked with and who were so grossly
ignorant of the worlds happenings
were now fairly well posted on every
thing Of national Importance that had
occurred since his previous visit. In
fact, he found them so well posted on
many subjects that the questions they
asked him at times were even embar-
raising. He had always considered
himself rather well read. at that He
finally alluded I'm a delicate manner to
his host to the great change for the
better in the handful of people who
lived in the hamlet. and the latter very
honestly and bluntly told him that it
was the result of the weekly package
of newspapers and magazines that he
had sent them from his Brooklyn home
in the previous twelve months.
When the doctor again departed for
the North he vowed to himself that he
would keep up his good work, and his
friends declare that he has not only
done so. but has also interested other
people I'm the gental development Of
his North Carolina acquaintance.

MAID OF HONoR's DUTIES.
Those Who Attend the Czarina Must
Be Able to Sew and Cook.

Those who think that the life of a
lady about a court is necessarily that
of a butterfly, may be surprised to
learn that cleyerness with the needle
is an adjunct demanded Of the maids
Of honor at the court of Russia, to be
Of use in cases Of emergency when In
attendance on the czarina. That they
have also to read well aloud and to
stand for any length of time goes with
out saying, but it would hardly be be-
lieved that In order to pass into the
imperial presence Russian maids Of
honor have to obtain a diploma for
cookingl Such is, however, the case.
In some imperial menages, too, the
maid OF honor has to compose the
everyday dinner menu. And in all
this training there underlies the teach
ing that an empress or grand duchess
of Russia Is a parsonage Of divine Vo-
cation. Having passed through all this
ordeal, the would-be maid Of honor, at
the age Of sixteen or seventeen, is pre-
sented to the empress, and If finding
favor in the imperial eyes, Is appointed
q demoiselle d'honneur, passing subse-
quently through the various grades
mentioned. From this body of maid
ems. too, the various grand duchesses,
with the czarina's approval, also make
their selections.

THE MOON.
Evil Effects of Its Influence as OBJ
served by Sailors.

A sailor on one of Uncle Sans war;
slips writes to a newspaper in his ma
tive city as follows:
Whatever scientists say to the con-
trary, every sea captain knows that
moonlight can twist mans face out of
shape if it shines on him While he
sleeps. And that it will spoil food, too,
much quicker than sunlight. One
might as well tell me that a whale does
not know when it's trail is crossed, even
when it is miles away. Whalers all
know that, and if they can't explain it,
they are just as sure of it as they are
that there is rise and fall of tides.
Moonlight will sour milk, too, let
quicker thar sunlight, and it will spoil
fish or pork quicker, too. Townfolk
dCr't believe all this, but most farmers
know it.
Every seafaring man has seen how
moonlight acts. Down in the south,
where I've been a good deal, they say
that if the moon shines on a newborn
baby it will have green eyes. They
say the same thing in France, too"

LONDON MARKETS.
Slight Rise in American Railway
Shares.

LONDON, Dec. 26.-The stringency in the
money market slightly increased last week.
The Bank Of England did a large business in
bills at B per cent and loans at 3la. A rlsd
in the bank rate is considered possible. The
gold demand continues strong; but the pre-
vailing discount rates are expected to prevent
Withdrawals for the continent and the United
States.
On the stock exchange business was pool
and the tendency downward. COnsos were
sold In order to obtain money, but there was
little movement in other frst-class stocks.
There was much selling in Chinese and Japa-
nese bonds. The latter dropped 214 points,
while Chinese. 1896, fell points; gold loan
Y point. and silver loan y point. Argentine
securities fell off again u a point. Home
railways were lower on dividend estimates.
American railway securities were steady the
only feature being rise of IL points in Cen
trail Pacific shares Canadian railway shares
showed relapse on the poor traffic returns,

also declined on the disappointing traffic re-
