cut across the whole loaf, spread with "a
layer, ut least half as thick rs the bread,
of rich cream cheese, crumbled fine. On
top Of this was spread evenly thin layer
of bacon, chopped very fine. According
to taste, sprinkling of pepper was added,
and u wineglass of ale, or enough to
slightly wet the bread, was poured over
the whole. The slices prepared were placed
in hot oven and left until the bread was
dried through, the cheese melted and the
bacon crisped. Philadelphia Ledger.

Young Hobart surprised President Nc
Kinley at Washington by a business like

or desire to court notoriety- He simply
asked for the position in manly way.

he can look after the bells in a Satisfac-

Mckinley has about decided to make

Il know from the very highest au-
thority that Greece has prepared plan
for the Macedonian campaign to the
minutest detail. Responsibility for the
future rests with the powers.
IF such a fragrant insult to the Greek
nationality as the violent deporta ton of

that early Wednesday morning the water
supply of the Turkish fortress at Izze-
din, Suda Bay, was cut off by the in
surgents in spite of the firing of the
Turkish warships. The Turkish garri-
son then attacked the insurgents and
the fighting continued all day.

MISS HANNA ENGAGED.
She Will Mary Mr.. Berry of Toledo,
According to Reports.

Washington, March 10-NIiss Hanna,
daughter of Senator Hanna, is good
deal of a manager herself. Senator and
Mrs. Mark Hanna, admit that their
daughter is really engaged to Mr.. Berry
the successful young bridge builder of
Toledo, VINO has for some little time
past permitted it to be known that he
was Miss Hanna's fiance. Mrs. Hanna
in speaking of the matter for publica
ton, stated that the denial of her son
arose from a desire to have the engage
ment kept out of the papers for the
present and not from any disapproval
of her daughters choice.
Mr.. Berry early in the autumn first
approached Senator Hanna for the pur-
pose of formally asking his daughters
hand in marriage. AT that time the
senator was too busy with political
matters to give the answer desired by
the young people and put them off say
ing he could not then give it proper at
tention. Again Mr.. Berry approached
the senator in the very height of the
confusion attendant upon his selection
for the senate Again the senator sta
ted that he could not give the matter
attention at that time.
Then the young people decided to
take matters in their own hands and en-
gagged themselves forthwith. When the
family left Ohio to come to Washington
Miss Hanna, after the train had moved
Out OIL the station, showed ueE mother
the handsome engagement ring given
her as a parting present by Mr.. Berry
Mrs Hanna went on to say that while
she thought her daughter should have
waited for her fathers formal consent
in the ma tier, she could not Hame her
for taking matters in her own hands
as she had done. Personally Senator
and Mrs. Hanna like Mr. Berry and APP
prove of the match but for the present
did not care to have anything mention
ed in public about it.
Having brought about the engage
ment despite Mr.. Hanna's desire to
procrastinate, the young people next
steal a march on the senator by giving
the news to the public. Miss Hanna
before leaving her home in Ohio, wrote
to her grandmother in Toledo and told
her to have the announcement of her
engagement made in the Toledo papers.
No time has been set for the marriage
as Senator and Mrs. Hanna do not care
to have their daughter leave them for

MARTIAL LAW IN BAHIA.
Insurgent Army is Growing in Brazil
and There is Great Alarm.

New York. March 1.-THE Herald's
correspondent in Rio Janeiro telegraphs
that martial law has been declared in
the state of Bahia. The fanatics, I'M
der Antonio Conselheiro, are engaged
in a serious rebellion. The government
has dispatched General Cantuzia to Ba-
hia with a large force of artillery, the
rebels in the last battle with the Bra
lillian troops having captured many of
their guns. Within eight days the
government will also send 5000 infantry
and cavalry reinforcements to Bahia
The war department has received in
formation to the effect that the fanatics
are now more than $4,000 in number,
and that their strength is daily increas-
ing. Business in Bahia is completely
paralyzed and the government is much
agtated at the prospect, especially since
the disastrous defeat of the federal
troops.
The newspaper Offices are guarded by
two attachments of troops and bodies
of cavalry and mounted police patrol

QUEER TOWN CLOCK

Wichita, March 11.-Messrs. F. b
Carcelon, the Colwich banker, and John
Mahan of this city have returned from
Guatemala, to which country they went
some three or four weeks ago.
They sailed from New Orleans for
Livingston, Guatemala, on the 23d of
January and were five days crossing
the Gulf, a portion of which time was
occupied in skirting the Yucatan coast
to what is known as the Yucatan cnan-
mel to Belieze, British Honduras.
The town clock of Livingston Is
great curiosity. It consists of a piece
of railroad iron suspended in the air,
and the time of day or night is struck
upon it by a policeman detailed for that
purpose. This tine-Str1ker uses
bludgon to make the iron reSOund, and
what was still more ludicrOus to the
travellers was the fact that the time
striker seemed to mark his hours just
whenever he happened to think OF IL
For instance if he should become en-
crossed in a game of cards he might
forget all about the clock and let it
run" an hour and a half between
strikes.
The natives use a long running vine
wind IL around some hoops, plaster it
with clay and make a handsome vessel
which is carried upon the heads Of wo-
men.
The sidewalks in the cities are mar
row and the streets are laid off with
painful irregularity, and as to the
buildings, a stranger cannot tell Whlch
is a church, a bank or Il residence
The travellers brought back many sill
yer coins ranging from 31s cents up to

money and silver money is called tin
money by the natives
