CATABANI'S TRIAL
Now On in Duluth---Defenda
Denies Everything.

The trial of Artore Catabani for
the murder of Reinhardt Stoll was
begun in District court before Judge
Ensign Monday.
The state had its first inning and
Monday afternoon adduced the testi-
mony of Richard Roe and Carlos
Sparoni who gave damaging evidence
against the defendant. DR.. Will
Goldsworthy and w. H. Cowling were
on the stand yesterday. Monday,
Deputies Bates and Randall came up
from Duluth and summoned addit-
ional witnesses. Dan Lang and Fritz
eau were also on the stand yesterday.
Lang testified that he was across
the street at the time Of the fight in
Stoll's saloon. He had seen the de-
PENDANT, Catibani, standing by the
doorway of the saloon and had seen
Stoll come out OF the room in company
with several others. He said that a
general free-for-all fight had taken
DldCt dlIu UDaU 1dQ SUI
Stoll but he would not swear that it
was Catibani that had struck the
blow.
Fritz eau testified that be was
standing by the door of the saloon
when Stoll came out and he had seen
the defendant, who was standing near
him, make a luDge at Stoll. He had
not seen Catibani's hand come in con-
tact with Stoll's body, moment after
Catibani had made the lunge, Stoll
had seemed to double up and had cal
led out that he had been stabbed.
Last evening the state had closed
it's side of the case.
Catabani when placed on the stand
today denied the whole affair. Hesaid
he did not know who struck Stoll and
that he had no knife in his possession
on the night in question. He told OF
the trouble in the saloon and of his in.

Bessemer properties by the leading
Pittsburg interest is being discussed
| as though such ownership were ac-
lcomplished fact, as indeed it may be
taken to be, the uncertain quantity
being its extent. 1t is evident that
fluctuation in ore prices and therefore
of any large profits in iron mining
will not return. The effort seems to
be, on the part OF great steel interests.
not so much to insure lower ore cost
than is possible to some home Compel
itor-for this year has shown that a
low cost to one means low cost to all
but rather to make sure of the
lowest attainable cost, as against the
world. In other words, the foreign
market rather than the home market
is the sharper of policy. 1t would not
be surprising, therefore, to see further
steps in the direction of concentration,
by other important steel interests.
The longer the improvement In the
iron trade keeps up, the more signs it
gives OF health and permanence. In
the past week ground has been
gained-additional frmness, with
some sharp advances, in pig iron,
while in finished lines demand has
kept up well, with additional strength
in prices. The situation as to pig iron
has reached stage at which it is
more closely studied by both buyer
and seller. An increase of 20 900 tons
in weekly production letween Aug /
and Sept. !, or at the rate of 1000, 900
tons additional ina year, accompanied
by further reductions In stocks on
hand, is Indicative of consum ption
unequaled in many months. With
the additional already made since
Sept. to the active list, and those
scheduled for the remainder Of the
month, it is evident that by Oct.
production will be fully up to that at
the opening Of 1896, when the boom Of
1895 still strongly affected furnace
operations. To-day the country is
producing iron at the rate of 10000
900 tons year. and the fact that Is
cent fewer furnaces are now active
than when this rate was last current,
In the late spring Of 1895, is an index
to the efficiency of the plants in
opeaation, as well as to the fact that
only the fittest eligible on this price
basis of to-day. The week has
established the higher prices asked
for Southern iron, though those Of
the leading interest, which is prac-
tically out of the market for further
1896 business, are fully Is cents ton
above the actual market. Northern
sellers OF foundry iron are stronger
also, under the growing demand due
to the larger amount OF work finding
its way into foundries.-Iron Trade

Geo. Hunter. city engineer Of Tower
recently sent to Clerk of the Court
Owens in Duluth several punches of
celery grown by him in Tower and
the Duluth papers mentioned it with
considerable pride. They said: ''The
celery is remarkable and nothing at
all approaching it comes into the
markets from the points where celery
is supposed to attain its best. The
growth is fairly tropical in its luxur-
lance. 1t is six inches taller than the
average and every stalk is an inch or
more in thickness. While it might
be supposed that such growth would
be stringy and coarse, it is not at all
that way. 1t is as crisp and tender
as celery ever gets"
Celery has been grown on the Yer
million range with evident success for
considerable number of years. In
this city especially we have seen eel
cry beds whose product far surpassed
any of the famous Kalamazoo celery.
The beds were more of an experiment
than profit but fairly demonstrated
that celery could be grown here. S.
Walsworth had considerable celery
this year on his farm south OF the
city and Rich. Whiteside has grown
| numerous beds of it in seasons past.
Manv others have shown ND handsome
celery grown for home consumption.
Celery can be raised here with con-
siderable profit. There are numerous
strips of land in this immediate vic
unity fit for the culture and while it
has never been made a business the
experiments on small scale have
fully demonstrated that it is sue
cessful venture.

A PEARL FARM.
Yearly Harvest Worth ~ Quarter OF
a Million Dollars.
Roches ter Times

Rochester Times
There is said to be only one pearl
farm in the world, but that pays its
its proprietor handsomely. This farm
is in the Torres strait, at the northern
extremity of Australia, and belongs to
James Clark, of Queensland. Mr..
Clark, who is known as I" the king of
the pearl fishers" originally stocked it
with 100000 pearl oysters. Now L.
500 men-and 200 are divers-and $50
vessels are employed in harvesting the
crop.
&c have been Is years engaged in
pearl fishing" Mr.. Clark told a cor
respondent of the Melbourne Age.
" My experience has led me to the be.
lief that, with proper intelligence in
the selection of place, one can raise
pearls and pearl shells as easily as one
can raise oysters. l started my farm
three years ago, and have stocked it
with shells which l obtained in many
instances far out at sea. My pearl
farm covers 500 square miles. Over
most of it the water is shallow. In
shallow water shells attain the largest
size. l ship my pearls to London in
my own vessels. The catch each year
runs, roughly speaking, from 100000
worth up to almost five times that
amount.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Ii one quart OF new milk is set i'll a
cool place for twenty-four hours it will
yield enough cream, well whipped
with heater, to furnish ten cups OF
coffee
Improper TIC OF Salt.-lt l. Il great
mistake To cover raw meat with salt
to prevent it from tainting in hot
weather. Salt brings the Juice ont OF
the meat. and it becomes bad in very
short time.
Potatoes fried whole are an improve
ment on sliced or diced potatoes, from
the fact that they do not absorb the
fat so readily. Boil the potatoes in
sailed water until done; then drain
and fry them in drippings. Serve
with peas and cream sauce.
Ragout of Young Onions.-Cut four
punches OF young onions in slices, add
double the quantity ofpotatocS, peeled
and sliced; sprinkle Il tcaspoonful Of
salt over the cover with broth Cor milk
and watcr) and simmer until potatoes
are done; then add bit OF butter and
a dust OF cayenne pepper. Serve hot.
Bacon or ham fat is good sub
stitutc for olive oil. 1t is best used
with Il salad OF lettuce only. Cut the
ham up III small dice, two-thirds fat
and one lean, fry nice brown, then
add one-fourth cup of vinegar, with
salt, pepper and a little mustard to
the taste. 1t is delicious and APP
petizing.
Strawberry Short Cake. - To one
quart of sifted flour add two heaping
teaspoons of baking powder and one
teaspoon of salt in the dry flour, Il
lump OF lard the size of an egg, and
half pint of sweet milk. Roll out
into cakes as thick as you would for
biscuit; bake in pie tins, then split
open and butter both sides. Have
ready one basket of berries, mashed
and sugared, and spread between the
cakes. Eat while hot. Excellent.

There was sleight of hand per-
Torrance in the opera house that
night, and way down on one of the
front seats there sat a man holding a
shiny silk hat ostentatiously before
him with an expression of deep anxiety
and watchfulness upon his face.
Before the performance began a
friend who sat Immediately behind
him and had noticed his manner
leaned over and asked him what the
trouble was.
"Well, you see, Tom," said the man
with the hat confidentially, cts this
way: I've been in politics now for ten
years, and I've been cussed and abused
and called all sorts of hard names un.
til Pm just longing to hear somebody
address me in decent manner one
more time. When this magician
comes ON the stage, he's going to say,
will some gentleman kindly loan me
his hat? and Pm going to jump up
and give him mine. It'll make me
feel good for month to be spoken to
that way. I've been looking forward
to this occasion for two weeks. You'll
excuse me now, for I'll have to jump
quick when he speaks for I see one OF
our aldermen sitting on the front row
with his old brown derby in his hand,
I'll bet dollar he's up to the same
game"

our hostess came to the fore and fired
the Egyptian Pyramids at us for a
topic.
"The Pyramids!" said I, "what is
there to say about them?" and then l
told him how Dick and Nancy decided
to so to the Holy Land for wedding
tour, and went to Iceland instead, and
while we were discussing the best
ways of spending homogeneous and
how long they lasted-the honeymoon,
/ mean-we found that we had had
something we hadn't heard sprung
upon us. and so we agreed that we
should put on a bold face and seem
very solemn and perhaps they wouldn't
notice.
"And when the other two topics
I've forgotten them-were announced,
we just stopped moment and looked
interested, and then went right on
talking. He told me q great deal
about law-how to commit crimes and
not be punished for them-and what
brought him to Z-and when he
was going away-I might have known
he wasn't there for life? And l
showed him how to tell the difference
between lace and embroidery, and
told him about the handsome drago-
man boy that kissed the soles of
Marie's shoes when he came home
from Cairo, lifting up one after the
other-poor little fellow, he was only
fifteen! And in the midst of it all
the guests got up and crowded round
Miss Blank, they were presenting me
with the prize-this pin-and saying
that New York had carried off the
honors, and the more I protested the
more Miss Blank and the Judge cooed
over me, and the judge said that
added modesty to my brilliancy, and
through the door 1 could see Mr..
Starr and Molly out in the hall in fits
of laughter, and every time I signaled
distress they went off in new paroxysms
of delight-and I never felt such a
fraud in my life! And that wasn't all,
for the next day was Sunday, and
coming out of church the president of
the Literary Club joined inches
awfully handsome-and asked me if
were willing to write a paper for
them the next week-and put down
my confession of ignorance to the
same thing-my modestyw And
when we drove down to give some
orders in town the next day, and 1
was sitting in the sleigh, an earnest
looking woman came up and intro
duced herself and said that she was
the Secretary of the Current Events
Club, and wouldn't I give them a
talk-she had heard of my brilliant
conversational powers-and I might
choose my own subject, for they had
told her I was equally at home in
everything! Thank heaven I came
away the next morning-before they
had a chance to find me out-and
never will put my foot in New Eng
land again-not in the season for
Conversational parties"
