things to make and one OF the easst to

1t must he made of fresh materials, and
hakes better in a shallow dish than in a
deep one The dish containing it should
be placed in a shallow tin dish holding hot
water, and the oven must he moderate.
Watch it, and just as soon as the blade Of a
knife comes out clean when you try it take
it out. If you leave it longer it will be
watery.
That the best of materials are none too
good for our cooking.
That il we feel we cannot afford the best,
we had far better go without cake and
pies to certain extent, and when we do
have them, have the best.
That we cannot cheat our stomachs, if
we do disguise the poor butter and eggs
with spices and tlavors but that sooner or
later it will rebel, and call for the DOCTOR
and his bill will be more than the butter
bill-decidedly.
That cake made with two eggs is Just
as palatable AZ one made with six eggs, if
it is fresh, well baked and favored, and
looks attractive
That layer cake is more attractive than
plain loaf or sheet cake frosted The
cost is the same, except the filling, and that
is slight.
Chamois leather garments are difficult to
wash, especially if the article is of elabo-
rate make or pattern. Ordinary window
and plate feathers must OF course undergo
the usual cleansing process, and are easy to
manage, as they do not suffer from getting
out OF shape. The great point with them
is to prevent their hardening as they dry,
and little friction during the drying will
do away with that altogether. For other
other things, such as vests, gloves, etc,
very careful treatment answers better than
any one particular recipe. For instance,
make hot lather of mild soap, or use
simply little ammonia in the water, and
when it is lukewarm wash the leather in it
quickly, rinse in it lukewarm water,
squeeze it gently be sure not to wiring as
you would other materials, put it on
clean towel, spread it on a horse, then dry
in front of fire, rubbing the article
gently with the hand every few minutes to
prevent it from stiffening. As much as
possible rub the thing into shape, not out
of shape. Some leather is inclined to
shrink, some to stretch but once dry moth
ing can get it into shape again.

New Orleans. La. Oct. AT 1O
O'Clock this morning two cases and no
deaths had been reported to the board
of health. 1t is anticipated that numer-
GUS cases will be reported today as on
yesterday, as the board of health is no
longer sending its experts to see all the
cases that are reported. As matters
stand now, the diagnosis of the physician
called IN is taken as determining the ma
ture of case. 1t is, therefore, probable
that many cases of trifiing type will be
reported. The New Orleans members OF
the Legislature, country members who
can get here, and the city council will
confer tonight on giving more money for
the board of health The state authori-
ties will provide money through the fiscal
agents if the consent of the Legislature
can be obtained.

that it was impossible to attract the
crowds to Nicollet park that would have
hocked to Athletic park The present

This would be a splendid location, and
would bring in more than enough extra

Of special Importance are the safeguards

are valuable lessons to be learned from late

lighting plants, as well its waterworks.
The results Of this public ownership Of

GOOD AS KLONDIKE.
Rich Find of Iron Ore in the Upper
Peninsula.

Menominee Mich, Oct. 4-The s. NJ
Stephenson Mining company has been or
ganized with s. NJ. Stephenson president
Isaac Stephenson, Jr., vice-president, and
Joseph Fleshiem secretary and treasurer.
They own a 40-acre tract of sections II,
II, 81, about Tour miles east of Michi-
CANINE. Recently Capt. J. y. Curnow
a mining expert of Vulcan, was engaged
to explore the property. He found ndica-
tons which led HIM to believe clean ore
to be abundant He reported the same
to the company. They ordered him last
week to take Il crew of eight men and
continue the explorations.
The captain arrived in the city Satur-
day evening bringing with him several
nuggets of as fine blue Bessemer iron
ore has ever been seen. The captain,
who cleaned the old shaft mint several
years ago, with b. NJ. Colwell Of Apple
ton, but gave it up as valueless, was on
this trip guided by the diorite, quartzite
and sOapstone, and found a powerful
magnetic attraction, which assisted him
in locating the richest iron ore finds made
in the upper peninsula.
He dug sixteen feet and found six feet
of iron ore of the best quality. The ore
came in from all directions and the indi-
cations are that there are thousands of
tons there. The captain says the claim
is worth millions of dollars. The COM
pany expects to begin working the mine
at once and will expend thousands of dol
lars in developing it.

KLONDIKE HARD SHIPS.
The Latest Arrivals Say a Famine
This Winter Cannot be
AVerted.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 2.-The steamer
Farallon arrived here this morning from
Skaguay, Alaska. The Farallon had on
board 10 returning prospectors, among
the number being Louis Lang, direct
from Dawson City, which place he left
August 26, coming out on Dalton trail.
He stopped at Juneau.
In an interview with an Associated
Press correspondent Long said: when
l left Dawson the stores had stopped sell
ing supplies and restaurants had closed
because they could get nothing to cook
| believe that provisions will he scarce,
although many of the miners are leav-
ing. In my opinion 200 or 300 will come
out over the Dalton trail within the next
few weeks. while a great many others
are going down by st. Michaefs.
ct was a great mistake in trading
companies to bring so much whisky up
the river instead of supplies. Before we
left Dawson nine cattle had been driven
in and four of them butchered. Choice
cuts brought 81 so per pound, while some
soup bone was worth so cents. | paid
81 and $1.25 per pound for elk meat. AS
we wanted to get ut as quickly as pos
sible, [ brought but very few provisions,
and all, weighing about sixty pounds.
We came up the river to Five Fingers
and then out over Dalton trail. We
crossed the summit September u in
snowstorm and had Indian guides to
show us the way. We had to wade knee
deep in snow We met the Sharp party
twelve miles this side of the summit with
their cattle, and it seemed to me doubtful
whether they would get in. 1t took us
just twenty-seven days to get down to
tidewater."
Another passenger on the Farallon was
Henry Brattnober, the mining expert,
who is confidential man for the London
Exploration company, which is controlled
by the Rothschilds. He has been over
the Yukon diggings, going in and return
ing over the Dalton trail. He undoubt-
eddy thinks we'll of the country, but is
close-mouthed.
Others on board were Lieut.. S. l..
Adair, Fifth United States cavalry; Col.
G.. q. barrow, formerly capitalist of
Denver, but now living at Montpelier,
Ind; A. Lambeth, wealthy mining man
of Helena, Mont; O. D. Colvin and T.
A. Garrett of this city.
Mr. Garrett reached the summit of
White pass with his partner, man
named Macarthur. There they decided
that they could take in provisions for
only one man and tossed up to decide
who should push ahead. Garrett lost
and came back to Seattle. He expects
to try it again next spring.

SPIDERS ARE FLOODED OUT.
White House Pest Driven Out by Fire
Engine.

Washington, D. c., Oct 2.-The white
house has been relieved of a plague Of
spiders. Early pedestrians in the vicin-
ity of the executive mansion yesterday
heard the humming and saw the move
mcnts of fire engine in the white house
grounds. The presumption was that fire
men were engaged in putting out blaze,
but this was erroneous.
For months the spiders-big, little, old
and young-have been making their nests
on the ceilings of the big portico in front
of the white house. They have raised
families and increased their population
to such an extent that their webs prac-
tically covered the ceiling and all con-
venient corners and crevices. They had
laid in large supply Of winter provis-
ions, consisting of flies, mosquitoes and
other insects, and were congratulating
themselves on the coy time they would
have this winter.
Expectation, however, was not realiza-
ton. The white house authorities did
not like the bad looks of the ceiling
They arranged with an engine company
to clean the portico by PLAYING a stream
over the ceiling and columns This was
done early this morning, and now the
ceiling and columns look white and clean.
The bodies of the spiders, some big, vi
.cius-looking fellows, are lying all around.

FIERCE FIRE AT OC0NT0.
Starts in Lumberyard and Spreads
to Neighboring Residences
Loss Not Very Heavy.

Oconto, Wis, Oct. Especial. Fire
was discovered in the yard of the Holt
Post mill about 8 o'clock last evening,
large pile of slabs having caught in some
manner The flames shot high in the
air and large sparks were carried to the
adjoining buildings. The sparks fell on
dwelling houses and set several of them
on fire. Before the firemen could con-
troll the flames two of the residences
were burned and one barn was de-
stroyed The loss on the dwellings, oc-
cupied by two Polish families, will not
be large, as they were frame buildings.
The loss to the Holt Lumber company
will not amount to a great deal, as the
fire was checked before reaching the mill
proper. The pile of slabs was burned,
but the loss will be covered by $500.

CAN'T GET TO ST. MICHAEL'S.
The Portland Had to Leave Her Passen-
gers at Dutch Harbor.

Tacoma, Wash, Oct. 1.-The steamer
North Fork from Alaskan ports, brings
the news that the steamer Portland,
which sailed for st. Michaeps with Il
Maxim gun on her bows to ward off
pirates, is on her way home again with
out having accomplished the object of
her voyage. She got as far as Dutch
Harbor only. There a portion of her
passengers and freight were disembarked
and she is now homeward bound, having
neither miners nor nuggets, nor company
gold aboard her.
The latest news in regard to the steam
er Hamilton is to the effect that she can
not possibly get beyond Rampant City,
but that twenty of her passengers were
making an effort to pole up the river TO
Dawson, with little chance of success.
Thirty-fve passengers who have given
up all hope of reaching the Elondike this
season returned on the North Fork. All
reports coming from the mining district
confirm the reports of a prospective fam
inc this winter.

POPE LEo's LATEST ENCYCLICAL.
It Urges Greater Fervor in the Devotion
of the Holy Rosary.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 2.-The apos-
tolic delegate has just received the latest
encyclical of Pope Leo XIII. This en-
cyclical was written at the vatican Sep
TENDER u, and, like all documents COM
ing from the Pope it bears the seal of the
"fisherman's ring" ii will be known
among the papal briefs as ''Augustis
simae Virgins Mariae,' the most august
Virgin Mary.
The month of October is dedicated in
the Roman Catholic church to Mary,
queen of the holy rosary. The present
letter from the Pope is to exhort the
faithful to greater fervor in practicing
this devotion. The encyclical grants no
new indulgences and is directed solely to
the encouragement of spiritual devotion.
The Pope touchingly alludes to his adj
vancing years and to the short period of
Ia Dor still before him.
