MILITANT MIR. HARRISON.
The Exp Presidents Idea of How to-
Promote International Peace.


Promote International Peace.
When Benjamin Harrison was Presi-
dent he was asked TO address the ecu
menical conference of the Methodist
Church. Delegates were present from all
parts of the world. The subject before
the conference at the time was internal
tional arbitratio The Methodists were
strongly in favor of a movement which
had for its purpose the end of warning
and the substitution of arbitration to set
tie all disputes between nations. President
Harrison accepted the invitation to talk
about international arbitration. and
made one of his famous ffve-minute
speeches. What he said was peculiarly APP
picable to this immediate occasion. and is
worth recalling in connection with the
voting by Congress of $4,000. 900 for ma
ional defense. President Harrison said:

Ned Hanlon is searching the baseball
forests for new birds to take the places
of the recalcitrant orioles. 1t is said that
he is negotiating to fill the places OF
Catchers Clarke and Bowerman and Left
fielder Kelley, who have refused to go
South to train. He has asked Manager
Barnie by wire if he will trade Jones or
Griffin for Kelley He has also made an
offer to Billy Earle. the catcher who is
now in Cincinnati. These movements on
the part of Hanlon look as though he is

Sloane spoke so highly upon his return

port, but English critics don't seem to
think he will be nearly as prominent at
the finish as st. Cloud H. As for the
third representative. Mack Briggs. he has
been almost neglected. He is the horse
which Duke q Wishard took from this

but the way he put Peter on the floor
with a right cross counter rather sur
prised the Irish champion. He had in
tended to make clever, easy bout of it
on account of O'Donnell's lame hand but
the knock-down reused all his pugnacity,
and the way he thumped the Yonkers
man was "a caution. Every time he was
hit on the body Steve grunted his disap-
prevail of the blows in a way that was
oddly protestant. O'Donnell was as game
as pebble, but Maher is too much his SUI
perior at the fstiC game to ever give him
a hope of winning with him. ODonnell

champion of no class. He has been beaten
twice as Maher was. He is afraid to

In conclusion, l want to suggest that as
Corbett and Fitz have both retired, it is
the place of a reputable club to offer
purse or sweepstake for Maher, Sharkey,
Choynski, Rubin, Jeffries Mccoy and
all heavyweights to compete for in some

The Republican party does not claim
that the late war was a, Republican
war, but a war of the whole people OF
America against Spain, the result of
Spanish greed and cruelty. But If the
gallant soldiers and sailors were called
upon to express an opinion as between
political parties at this time, and es-
pecially as lined up in this State, they
would answer at once and almost to a
man in favor Of the Republican party,
which has brought the war so speedily

HOW TO SELECT MEATS.
Cost Of Choicest Cuts in Inverse
Ratio to Their Real Value.

Sallie JOY White in the "Womans
Home Companion" gives this practical
advice to inexperienced cooks:
The finest roaStS and steaks are
found in the hind quarter, as we'll as
the juiciest meats for making beef
tea, meat pies, beef "a la mode or pot
ted beef. Sirloin, of course, gives the
very choicest roaSts and steaks. next
comes the rump, this being cut in
three parts. The back, the middle and
the face are good roasting pieces; but
the most economical is the middle cut,
as it is free from bone and has not a
scrap of waste in it. Good steaks are
cut from the top of the round; some
people so SO far as to say that the
favor Of round steak is superior to
that of any other. The lower portion
of the round is used for braizing and
for beef tea.
The tenderloin has the most tender
meat, but it is neither so juicy nor so
well favored as other portions that are
not SO tender, and it is not nearly so
nutritious as portions that require
much cooking The sirloin comes next
in tenderness and delicacy. These cost
more than any other cuts, but there is
cheaper parts. Indeed, the cost of the
meat seems to be- inI inverse ratio to its
real food value. OF course, this is so
because Of the much smaller proper
ton Of the so-called choicer cuts 1t
is one of the wise economies Of nature
that it should be 50. The harder
working class of people, those who do
a great deal of manual labor, and par
ticularly those whose occupation takes
them a great deal into the open air,
need the nourishment and sustaining
quality of the heavier meats. And
these are found in the cheaper parts,
particularly where there Isl great deal
of juice in the meat and rich marrow in
the bone.
'Stews and braized meats, or those
that are steamed in their own juices
over the fire, as pot boiled or roasted
meats, give the most nutriment, and
add the physical strength that is need
ed, besides, in cold weather, supplying
great deal of warmth by furnishing
carbon for the body
