GOLD FACTS!
CHEAP COOKING
READ THIS COMPARISON

There are two ways of figuring out
the economy of u gas range over a
coal stove. One is the actual con-
sumption and cost OF fuel. One rigid
test made in cooking precisely the
same meal by coal and by gas Yield
ed these figures: by coal, total time
from lighting fire, 9 hours 40 minutes;
coal consumed A pounds; cost II
cents; kindling, l cent; total IL cents.
By gas, total time from lighting gas,
l hour and fifty minutes; gas consum-
cd, IS feet; cost, at s10O per thousand
1cet, less than 1 cents; saving over
coal of cents. or 63 per cent But the
waste of food by the two methods Is
also to be considered. Elaborate ex-
pernents show that in the cooking Of
fish the gas range saves food, as COM
pared with the coal range, to the
amount of about 10 per cent; In cook
ing beef 10 per cent; chicken. IA per
cent; steak s per cent; chops, 20 per
cent These savings are actual food
values by weight. The result is the
same as If you actually got just so
much more food for your money at
the market. Thus the gas range Is an
economlZer at 18th ends-it reduces
the cost of fuel and 1t increases the
value OF the food products

MESSAGE OF M'KINLEY.

nal explosion existed in any quarter. AT
O'Clock in the evening of Feb Is everything
had been reported secure, and all was
quiet. At $40 O'Clock the vessel was sud
denly destroyed.
There were two distinct explosions,
with brief interval between. The first
lifted the forward part of the ship per-
ceptibly; the second, which was more
open, prolonged, and of greater volume, Is
attributed by the court to the partial
explosion of two or more forward maya
zines The evidence of the divers estab-
lished that the after part of the ship is
practically intact, and sank in that condi-
ton a very few minutes after the explo-
sion. The forward part was completely
demolished.
Upon the evidence of a concurrent 'ex-
ternal cause the finding of the court
is as follows:
''At frame II the outer shell of the ship
from a point liz feet from the middle
line of the ship and feet above the keel
when In its normal position had been
forced up so as to be now about rect
above the surface of the water; therefore
about "a feet above where 1t would De
had the ship sunk uninjured. The out
side bottom plating is bent into reverse
V shane; the after wing of which is about
15 feet broad and 80 feet in length from
frame II to frame 80 is doubled back upon
itself against the continuation OF the
same plating extending forward AT frame
10 the vertical keel is broken in two ana
the fat keel bent into an angle similar
to the angle formed by the outside DOT
tom mates. This break is now about
feet below the surface of the water ana
about 20 feet above normal position.
.In the opinion of the court this erect
could have been produced only by the
e1,nlosion of a mine situated under the
bottom Of the ship at about frame Is and
somewhat on the port side of the ship.
THE conclusions of the court are:
ssThe loss Of the Maine was not the
fault or in any respect due to negligence
or, the part of any of the officers or mem
bers of her crew; that the ship was de-
stroyed by the explosion of a submarine
mine, which caused partial explosion
Of two or more of her forward magazines;
and that no evidence has been obtainable
fixing the responsibility of the destruc-
ton of the Maine upon any person or per-
sons.
II have directed that the finding of the
hoard of inquiry and the views of this
government thereupon be communicated
to the government of her majesty the
Queen Regent and I do not permit my
self TO doubt that the sense Of justice
of the Spanish nation will dictate course
of action suggested by honor and the
friendly relations of the two governments.
IT will be the duty of the executive to
advise the Congress of the result and in
the meantime deliberate consideration is
invoked. 80 William Mckinley.

and war Capt Sigsbee believes that
the Maine was blown up by the Spanish,
his views concurring with those express
ed in the court of inquirys report, SO far
as the cause of the explosion goes.
He said he attended a bull fight soon aft
er his arrival at Havana. Somebody
handed him circular, which warned him
to take the Maine out of Havana harbor
if he did not want her blown up. He
showed the warning to Gen. Lee, who
thought it was unworthy of serious atten-
ton Gen. Lee told him that he frequent
ly received anonymously printed circulars.

was to be assassinated.
James E. Sebring of Minneapolis, Mimi,
and brother of Gen. w. II. Sebrlng Of
this city. arrived this morning on a short
visit to relatives, and greeted Capt. Sigs-
bee, with whom he had served on ship
a number of years ago. Capt. Sigsbee re-
membered Mr.. Sebring, and the two old
time friends shook hands heartily, and were
glad to meet each other again The meet
ing between them was purely accidental.
They had not seen each other in a de-
cade or more. Miss Sebring. Gen. Sc
brings unmarried daughter, presented
Capt. Sigsbee with a beautiful bouquet,
and told him she was willing to join the
army or navy against Spain. The Sebring
family were all wiling to fight in case
of war. The elder 6ebrngs were promi-
nent in the civil war. M

stunned his trip to Washington.

on for the adjustment OF the differences
between Spain and the insurgents, the
point aimed at being the independence of
Cuba. The Maine disaster will be dealt
with as wholly separate matter. The
impression prevails here that Spain Is ex-
tremely anxious to avert war.
Following the call of the Spanish minis
ter at the state department, the French
ambassador, M. Cambon, had a conference
with Judge Day. This renewed the talk
of European mediation, which is assum-
ing tangible form. There lie good reason
40 believe Spain is ready and anxious for
this move and has been encouraging Il at
the European capitals.
At the war and navy departments the
stir OF preparations continues as usual
The navy department made plans for a

and steam yachts recently purchased and

scHLEY ON HIS SHIP.
The Commodore Takes Command OF

Fort Monroe Va, March 2S-Wtth the
American flying squadron, Hampton
Roads, March 2S.)--More than the usual
enthusiasm was displayed to-day by the
officers and the men of that portion of
the American flying squadron already as
sembled here when Commodore w. S.
Schley took command.
At $3.50 o'clock the commander of the
Brooklyn, with some petty officers, took
Commodore schley aboard a launch and
conveyed him to the fleet, which lies near
Newport News
The commodore was in civilian Dress
but was saluted with the usual formali-
ties as he passed up the Brooklyn's COM
panion way to begin active service. With
in half hour after boarding ship, Com
modore Schey, in full uniform, was ready
to take command, and the men of the
fleet were drummed to quarters with the
yards manned, the marines on deck and
officers and gunners at post.
Commodore Schley stepped on the bridge
of the Brooklyn, and. reading his COM
mand as commander, took possession. At
the same instant his flag was broken from
the Brooklyns masthead and one of the
big guns belched forth a salute, which
was answered by the Massachusetts, ly-
ing near.
