At GrenOble, France, nm Association
Serves Good Food mt Cost.
Housewives who think the coopera-
tive kitchen is so far in the future that
it would be absurd to look forward to
it for relief from daily drudgery will
be interested to hear that a kitchen with
the same end in view as the cooperative
has been in successful operation for
nearly so. years, says the New York
Press. The Association Alimentaire, Of
Grenoble, France, is a purely municipal
affair. The city owns it and supplies
meals at cost in its own restaurant or
delivers them at private homes.
Everything at the Association Ali
mentaire is as good as money can buy
The cooks are as clever as any in France
which is saying great deal. The-pro-
visions are bought in the best markets
and are carefully selected. The serv-
ice is excellent The dining-rooms are
of several grades, according to the fur
nishings and the attendance, so that
all tastes may be accommodated. One
may dine there for three cents on bread
and soup and be- satisfied, or one may
pay more and have fun course din
ner. In the best rooms, which are mar
ble-hoored and decorated with much
elegance, there are walters who look for
tips as naturally as though they were
in the SWEETEST of Partisan cafes.
Pure wines, which have been properly
aged, are served at about eight cents. q
liter. ..
There is no financial profit to the city
in running this huge restaurant, which
serves some $4,000 meals a day. The
charges are based on the cost of the ma
terials used, the employment of help
and the amount spent in keeping the
utensils, machinery and hnilling in re-
pair.

Kentuckians Warming Up.

LOUISVILLE. April IA special to

says that the latest rumor is that with
in forty-eight hours sensational res
olution will be introduced in. the
House by the Hunter Rspubli-
cans censuring and denounc-
ing Governor Bradley in the most Sc
we're terms for taking part in the al
legged bribery charges which have
been brought against DR.. Hunter.
His friends vehemently deny that he
had any connection with it and say il
such resolution is introduced Gov
ernor Bradley will go upon the floor
Of the House and make speech full
of sensation from beginning to en- DE-.
1t is said an effort will be made to dis
suade Governor Bradley from this
step as it is feared serious trouble
might result. Congressman Wilson
and e. Il. Franks, Hunter Republi-
cans, implicated with the leaders Id
the alleged attempt at bribery, wero
summoned before the Grand Jury
this morning on recommendation of
Acknowledgement Taylor who said he
did not want the Grand Jury TO be-
come mere engine for political per-
secu.iOn.
Representative Beard, a sound
money Democrat froIa Davis county,
was also served with subpoena.
The situation is grave. Fe ing runs
high and personal alterations are
looked for at any time.

MY LAoY.s DRESSING TAeLE.

Powdered alum applied to q fever sore
will prevent it from becomin&unsightly
or noticeable.
A little camphor and water should be
used as wash for the mouth and throat
if the breath is not sweet.
A little fresh cold cream should be
kept ON the toilet table during the cold
weather, and applied to the lips and
hands every night If the skin seems at
all rough or chapped.
A few grains of alum in tepid water
will relieve those whose hands perspire
freely. A few drops of sulphuric acid
in the water are also beneficial for this
purpose, Us well as desirable for wash
ing the feet when they perspire freely.
In addition to the soap for bathing,
white CASTLE should be kept for wash
ing the hair. Occasionally a little bo-
rax or ammonia may be used for this
purpose, but care should be taken in
their application as they are rather
harsh in their effects. :,
A sensible girl will not keep alot OF
cosmetics and drugs on her toilet table,
but there are a few articles she should
always have in a convenient place. She
should have an array OF glass-stoppered
bottles containing alcohol, camphor,
glycerine or va6eline, alum, borax and
ammonia.

TROUBLE FOR TARIFF MAKERS

1t is reported from Washington
that President McKinley's currency
commission for the study Of the cur
rency laws during the recess Of con-
gress has not been abandoned entire
ly, according to the declarations Of re-
publican leaders. 1t has been deter
mined however, that the tariff shall
have right OF way.
This means, Of course. that in view
OF what is beginning to look like a
desperate tariff emergency, the re-
publican professions Of favor for the
proposal to promote international BIZ
metallism must be kept before the
federal lawmakers. All signs point
to trouble ahead for the tariff max rs
and it is thought to be wise not to
let any doubt as to the republican
position in support Of the conference
proposition to constitute an additional
obstacle to the carrying out of the
tariff programme. BY postponing
and dispensing Of patronage and
keeping to the front the professed
republican intention to do the fair
thing by silver the administration is
doing all that it can to make the
road OF the tariff bill as little rocky
as possible.
What effect this policy will have ON
the silver republicans in the SEN
ate can hardly be foretold, but it is
not amiss to remember that some Of
them yielded to the siren voice of the
international agreement vocalist last
summer, and they may be prepared
to do it again. They are all protec-
tionists, Of course. and they may con-
sent to aid in establishing the propos-
cd protective policy, although their
pet product is not included in it's
provisions. In this they will be i'll
fiuenced, doubtless, by the hope that
their turn will come later, and no
more deAlsive hope over took up it's
abode in the human breast.
1t is likely, however, that this at
tempt to play ON the credIity IF the
silverites. while it may achieve that
end, will not operate to save che con-
demned and repudiated tariff bill
from serious trouble il the senate.
That measure is too clearly terrific
blow at the public interests to admit
OF any deception as to it's possibilities
and purpose. The patronage will be
withheld and the silverites fooled in
vain.-- Bingha nton IN. " Leader.

No More Land Advertisinp

The members Of the newspaper fra
ternity of Nevada have decided not
to run my more land advertising I'M
til the legislature of Nevada repeats
the law passed last winter. The fol-
lowing is the section complained Of:
Section 7. All applicants for pur.
chase of lands not approved to the
state ut the time of making applica-
ton shall deposit with the State land
register the amount of fees required
for selecting tile same in the United
States local land office; also the
amount or fees required for advertise
ing such selection, if the land so Sc
lected, or any part thereof, be situat-
ed within six miles Of a mineral
claim or location, the amount Of which
said advertising fee ID hereby limited
to and fixed Mt two dollars. The ap-
plicant in every instance shall also
bear the actual expenses Of all nom
mineral aflldavits required by law or
the regulations Of the United States
general land Office. (See stats. 1897,
pages II and 72.r
akUnder this law, advertising the
legal rates OF which would be s33, ia
cut down to 81 by act of legislation
and as two aG1idavits have to be made
at a cost of dollar each it is easy to
see that the advertiser foots up a
dead loss for every advertisement he
takes. Under these circumstances
there is no course left but to decline
land advertising under the new law
unless the applicants who want land
are willing to pay the legal rates of
advertising and even these rates were
reduced also by the legislature

time ii is said that there has been a
chance for a civilian to enlist directly
in the hospital corps at this post for
a long time, there always being about
five applications from the line for
every vacancy in this branch. The
reason assigned for this is that the
men are expecting a change of sta
ton shortly and do not want to leave
their respective organizations until
they get north, where most of them
reside. The salary in this branch is
five dollars a month more than a pri-
vate of the line, besides after two
years service man may be promoted
to be an acting steward and after two
years service as acting steward a
man can stand examination for pro-
motion to a stewardship, which, all
allowances included, is equal to a sal
airy of about 500 a month, together
with a residence, which at this post
is two-story brick. .l e

Passing His Property.
Ernest RiSche, whose homestead is
located at the corner of River and
Grand avenues, is suing the City OF
San Antonio and others in the Thirty.
seventh district court for injunction
to restrain them from constructing
and operating a railway along Grand
and River avenues for the purpose of
handling freight. Other defendants to
the suit are the San Antonio Brewing
association and the Lone Star Brew
ing association. Petitioner represents
that the Texas Transportation compa-
ny has been granted a franchise to
construct and operate a railway for
handling freight for the two brewaries
and that the line is to commence on
Austin street and run along Grand
avenue and River avenue, to the
breweries. He sets forth in his pc
titiOn that the value on his homestead
would be destroyed and his house
hold property and Improvements
greatly damaged thereby.
A similar suit was filed in March,
1895, wherein the same petitioner
complained of the city of San Anto-
MO, Charles Hugo, George III. Kaltey-
er and Philip Carl, to restrain them
from constructing and operating a
similar line. Petitioner holds that the
restraining which was then made is
still in effect.
