HOME FOR AGED PEOPLE.
A Little Difference Between Mrs
HoIIenbeck and the Trustees.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 25.-Mrs. Hol-
lenbeck and the Trustees for the Home
for Aged People, which she built and
endowed, do not interpret the various
clauses in the trust deed in quite the
same way, and the matter is to be de-
termined by an equity proceeding in
the Superior Court.
This suit has been brought in the
name Of the people by Attorney Cen
eral Fitzgerald, on the complaint of
John D. Fisher, against Mrs. Hollen-
beck, the Trustees and the Board of
Managers. The trust deed and the by
laws are set forth, the latter providing
that applicants for admission to the
home must be persons" of good moral
character, not less than 60 years old.
while the trust deed provides that the
property conveyed is for the purpose
of maintaining a home "for INDECENT
women and homeless children"
Mrs. Hollenbeck and the Board of
Managers abide by the bylaws, but
the Trustees follow their deed of trust,
the latter claiming that the privileges
of the institution must be confined to
indigent women and children, and the
former claiming the right to admit old
men to its benefits as well.

Mrs. Rackliff's "MagIc Cover. :"

While progressive city like Belfast is
always interested in all advance ment and
all Improvement, it will feel double in
terest in the invention of Mrs. H. B. Rack
lift of Corinna Mrs. Racklitf was known
in Belfast as Miss Nell 0. Littlefield,
daughter of the late Eben Littlefeld.
The invention of Mrs. Rackliff is known
as the Magic Cover and is heavy can
vas covering for the bread board Tor to
be used in place of the bread board, } and
jersey covering for the rolling pin, and
these are subjected to some chemical pro-
cess SO that the -four does not adhere to
them in the rolling.
1t is necessary to cover both these cloths
with a liberal amount of -four and then
the softest of dough can be rolled without
too much flour adhering to them, or with
out the dough clinging to either. The
device is of special interest to the
women because it makes it possible to do
the cooking in much less time, as well as
much more easily. Every cook knows
that it is the exception when tempting
sugar cookies can be made without once
using a knife, for these need as little of
flour as possible. Still every cook who
uses the Magic Cover finds it unnecessary
to ''scrape sticky dough- for no dough
is sticky, no matter how soft when rolled,
with the magic covering for the rolling
pin upon the magic cover for the bread
board. The device of Mrs. Racklitf is of
interest to the men, because it saves more
than enough flour from each barrel to pay
for two magic covers, and again because
to make poor pies, doughnuts, cookies
or bread is impossible.
| Mrs. Racklitf has used these covers for
more than year with great satisfaction,
and is continually receiving voluntary tes-
timonials from ladies who have used the
covers. She has been awarded silver
medal and has applied for a patent. She
has also been offered liberal sums for the
right in certain States. Mrs. Racklitf is a
business woman of no mean ability and
she proposes to have a general manager,
and to put agents into the field. Every
woman in every town OF every State should
have one of these "Magic Covers" This
invention of Mrs. Rackliff's is of the
greater interest because the labor saving
improvements for the work of wome n are
not so numerous as those for the work of
not so distinguished as inventors. Cor
lima may well feel just pride in it's

Future of the Horse.

The Department of Agriculture has is
bers and prices of farm animals in the
United States on January l, 1897. 1t is
specially interesting and valuable in re-
gard to the horse breeding industry.
which in the last few years has taken
downward course and continues to be
much disturbed. This state of affairs is
usually attributed to the rapid introduce
ton of the trolley and the bicycle but
the figures submitted by the department
prove these to have been but minor causes.
Most of the decline in prices is due to the
heavily increased production of horses on
the newt y opened ranges of the West, and
the facilities afforded for handling the
traffic by the transcontinental lines of rail-
way. The world has never before seen so
large a region suddenly made available for
horse breeding. Between the years 1889
and 1893 the number of horses in Mon
tana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico,
and further west, increased from l, 49,
76S to 1872, 532, or about one third. The
surplus was shipped to outside markets.
In the year 1866 the average price of
horses in the United States was $50. S6.
From 1883 to 1889 the average price rang
ed between S70.J9 and S74 GA, the latter
price having been reached in 1854 BY
1892 the average was S65 Oh. The rapid
decline set in after 1898, in which year the
average price was S61.22. The figure in
1894 was SAT. 50; in 1895, $50. 20; in 1896,
s33. OF, and at the beginning of the pres
ent year, S31.5 On Western ranges the
prices are about the lowest on record. The
average price of horse there is but two
tfths of what it was in 1884, and of mules
less than one half In some parts of the
range country horses are rated at 81 a
head. They have even been given away
or shot to save pasturage. Cheap West
ern horses have reduced breeding in the
East and South, and it is we'll known that
their quality is inferior to that of the
horses displaced.
AS to it's future the Department of Ag-
riculture takes an encouraging view, and
gives the reasons for it. Since 1898 the
number of horses in the Western division
! has declined from !, 972, 523 to /, 626, 402
or nearly Is per cent. Our foreign exports
of horses have grown from 5000 year
| prior to 1898 to %, 600 in 1896. The horse
has lost much of its value as product in
| Western breeding areas, and they will be
devoted to industries that pay better. An
improving demand is reported for the bet
ter class Of horses, especially young ones,
for draft and driving purposes. The de-
partment expresses the belief that "the
depression in the horse market has al
ready passed its lowest point Probab-
ly there is no direction in which the
breeder can look for better prices more
hopefully than in that Of good quality. At
all events, the market for cheap horses of
poor quality is greatly overstocked. Est.
