How to Press Embroidery Properly.

In all cases of embroidery on linen
the work should be carefully pressed
when finished, and it is important for
every embroiderer to know how this
may be done in the simplest and safest
manner, says the Woman's Home
Companion.
The proper way to press the finished
work is to lay the embroidery face
down. on a clean cloth spread over Az
ironing blanket or two or three thick
nesses of flannel; place thin, damp.
ened cloth on the back of the article
to be pressed, and then use hot iron
deftly on the wet surface until it is
perfectly dry. A steaming process is
thus engendered, whereby the en-
broidered linen is rendered smooth
aud the effectiveness of the work
much enchanced.

When to Subsoil.

There Is right way and a wrong
way of subsoiling. Several of our ex-
pertinent stations have recently investi-
gated the subject with more or less
thoroughness. In most cases sub
soillng when done in the fall has
proved a decided benefit, especially
on soils resting on hard and packed
suosoll. The fall and winter rains
soak into the surface layer six, eight
or ten inches deep, as the case NAV
be, but cannot enter the hard subsoil.
SO that the excess of water runs off
the surface into bitches and streams
Then, when this surface moisture has
evaporated during dry spell in spring
or summer, there is no further supply
to fall back on, and the crops must
soon suffer. Subsoiling deepens the nat
ural water reservoir, and allows the
water otherwise allowed to run Off to
be stored up in the subsoi. ms q re.

rains fail us during the growing sea-

up the difference between subsoiline
IN the fall and doing it in spring. as
follows: eff this subsoil reservoir be
made III the fall, it will, like a porous
sponge, soak full of water during the
winter and spring rains, and from melt
ing SHOWS. But if subsoiling be de-
layed till spring it cannot be done
till the spring rains cease and the soil
becomes dry enough to pillow, and then
there being no water to soak down and
NIL the spaces between the loose part
lcies OF earth, air presses it way down
and absorbs what little moisture there
Is. Thus it is that fall subsoiling
catches and stores water for next sum
mer,s drought, while spring subsoiing

moisture there is.

are often made of material too light to

beast loves better to battle. See the
poor creatures making desperately for

battle in it, arguing that muddy water
is better than no water at all! Yet
this naturally clean brute is driven to
dwell in n filthy pen or cramped

that pursues him to feed on food so
unclean that it has an opprobrious
name of its own. Does any sensible

cholera does attack the wild hog, but
it is commonly during the dry season

The fowls are like the beasts-they
would be clean; they need dust in
stead of water, but they do not any

dirt and water which is called mud.
The condition of fowls in most barn
yards in the country is enough TO
excite humane society. They arc
led on corn aud pickings, the pickines

WHITE OFFICERS LED THEM.
Inquiry Into the Jail Delivery by
COIOred Troops mt Tampa.


Tampa, Fla, Aug. s.-An official investi-
CATION of the jail delivery Saturday night
by a detachment of the Ninth Cavalry
discloses the fact that the men were led
and prompted in their lawlessness by two
white officers of the regiment who were
among the first to enter the Jail after the
locks had been broken by the men, and
who ordered the men to shoot and kill
the jailor if he refused to deliver up their
comrade.
The excitement caused by the affair Is
still intense and If the demand of Gov.
Bloxham that the culprits be returned to
the State authorities for trial and pun
ishment is complied with, there is scarce
ly a doubt but that the full penalty of
the law will be imposed upon the offen-
ders.

preparations for the embarkation of Gen.

Nrs. Lulu Seaman Commits Suicide
at Coney Island

New York, Aug. Sin the pres
ence Of fully. 1905 men. wom-
en- and children Mrs. Lulu Seaman. twen-
ty-two years old. committed suicide at
Coney Island late yesterday afternoon by
swallowing a dose of carbolic acid. A
quarrel with her husband. Albert, was
the cause of the act.
It appears that Seaman quarreled with
his wife last Saturday night and upbraid-
ed her for drinking too freely. The quar-
rel was continued yesterday morning, and
she threatened TO kill herself as she left
him in their apartments in Abbey's 1o-
tel. in Tiiyous walk few minutes lat
er she entered drug store in the Bow
cry and asked for two ounces of carbolic
acid She assured the druggist she want
ed Ii for wash. As she was leaving the
store her husband came up and called
her aside Loud words followed and they
separated.
She was walking along Steeplechase
Walk, near the Bowery with a strange
man late in the afternoon. when her hus-
band came up and demanded to know
who her companion was. They again
quarreled.
A crowd gathered about. Suddenly she
turned on him and yelled:
You've found too much fault with me
lately. I'll trouble you no more. I'll take
this and end it all
She placed a small bottle to her lips,
and had swallowed the contents before
Thomas A. Doyle. of No. 4G5 Hudson Ave
nue.. Brooklyn, one of the crowd could
reach her side and knock the bottle from
her hand BY that time she had fallen
30 the walk unconscious.
Seaman looked at her contemptuously,
making no effort TO assist her. Police
man Rigley carried the PROSTATE woman
into Giers' Hotel. where Ambulance Sur
geon GoSman was summoned. She expir-
ed a few minutes after his arrival with
out having regained consciousness.
The body was removed to the morgue
and Seaman was taken to the station
house and closely questioned. He said
he and the woman had been married
about two years. and had had considera-
bic difficulty because of her drinking hab-
its. They had no children.

PREACHER AS WELL AS BANDIT

Bonesteel, s. D.. Aug. S.-For four years
the Rev. Mr.. Hilgard has been known as
ono of the ablest evangelists in this part
period "Ponca Jim," Montana jack and
the rest have been hated and feared as
the most daring and successful cattle
rustlers, horse thieves, highwaymen and
cutthroats on the range. 1t was only
few days ago that the Rev. Mr.. Hilgard,
"Ponca Jim." Montana Jack ct al.
were discovered to be one and the same
person.
He was captured after hot chase.
and now the people are In quandary as
to whether he should be lynched or al
lowed to continue to preach words OF
sound advice to them from his evangel-
cal pulpit. particularly as some of his
friends insist that there must be some
mistake, or at least some redeeming fea-
ture about his unaccountabie conduct
Rev. Hilgard located with his wife ana
three children on a farm near Bonesteei
in the fall of 1894. announced himself as
an evangelist. and began holding meet
ings in and near the town. He was mas
ter of style Of oratory suited to the
rough cow punchers and rancnmen VINO

Soon he received invitations to hold re-
yiyals at other hamiets throughout the

be exemplary his gifts to charity were
liberal and his neighbors idoiized MIN.
About that time a series or oolo ROD

tered and ransacked. Those who re-
sisted the perpetra.or of the outrages-
all were committed by single man
invariably came out second best.
The robber seldom shot to Kill, but
his aim was unerring. and his vicum
was always disabled before he had time
TO use his weapons. The outlaw always
wore a mask, and for a time the crimes
were attributed to different men.
His final capture was due TO an au-
dacious attempt to rustic bunch of fine
steers on Nick Mammilfs ranch. four
teen miles north Of Bonesteel. Hammiii

Ordinarily short work would have
been made of such a captive but the
discovery that II was their dear pas

powered the punchers that he was

CROKER FEELING HIS WAY.
to BE the Warwick of the
National Democracx


New York, Aug. s.-The gathering Of
the Croker-Murphy forces at Saratoga
this week is regarded by politicians as
matter of something more than local in
terest The assertion is frequently heard
from leading politicians that Richard
Croker. not satisfied with the control of
New York city. is about 10 begin a con-
test Tor the State leadership of his party
and aspires also TO be in the position OF
President-maker in 1900. Senator Muir
pny' IL Is said Is to be kept TO the front
as nSurehead for the present in order
10 defeat ex-senator Hill, but when the
state campaign begins. these politicians
predict. Mr.. Croker will come forward as
the State leader, and will thus be in
position TO influence the nomnat ton of
the next Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent.
Since his return to New York from
England Mr.. Croker has declared war on
Hill, and now goes to Saratoga TO pre-
pare to control the Democratic State con-
vention. Democrats from all parts of the
State will come TO see him during the
week, and 1t Is probable that the Democ-
racy of the State will soon learn what
Tammany men already know. that Mr..
Croker aspires TO become the boss of the
New York Democracy and power In
the national convention of 1900.
Senator German and a number OF Bal
timore politicians are now at Saratoga

followers constitute quite family party
