SHERIFF MARTINS TRIAL.

A Representative OF tho State Depart.
ment at Washington Present.
Wilkesbarre. Pa, Feb. 1.-IHon. Henry
M. Hoyt, deputy attorney general of
the United States. arrived here from
Harrisburg yesterday to be in attend
ance at the trial OF Sheriff Martin and
his deputies, which began today. Mr..
Hoyt was armed with a letter from the
governor to Hon. Stanley Woodward,
president Judge of LuZerne. in which
the governor says that Mr.. Hoyt Is here
at the request of Secretary Sherman.
THE further purpose Of Mr.. Hoyt's
visit" says the governor, will be
doubtless explained to you in person.
/ beg to request your kind offices to the
end that the representative of the state
department shall be afforded every op-
portunity for observing the trial OF the
case"
In sending Mr.. Hoyt here to attend
the trial the United States government
has only one object in view-to pro-
tect itself in case foreign governments
file claims for damages for the killing
Of their subjects at Lattimer. Austria
has already made a move In that di-
rection, and II is understood II the ver-
dict is against Sheriff Martin and his
deputies Germany and Italy will file
claims at once. 1t Is reported that each
Of these governments will have a rep
resentative from their legations at
Washington present at the trial. Sec
retary Sherman, having received no.
tice Of this, decided to have the national
government represented at the trial.

4 MINIATURE Blizzard.
L Started Like the Blizzard Of '03,
That Stopped All Traffic.
GEw YORK SHELTERS CROWDED.

Many women aud Children who Ap-
piled For Shelter Were sent to the
Different Hospitnls-Trafnc Not sc-
riously Impcded.
New York. Feb. 1.-From ! o'clock
yesterday morning until after midnight
snow fell In this city and vicinity. and
last night q strong west wind and fall
Ing temperature called forth many pre-
dictions Of a blixsard. All day there
was fog on the bay. In addition to the
binding snow. and trafYic on the water
was impeded seriously. There was. one
serious ferryboat collision, and many
accidents were reported. The steamer
PortiA ran into the ferryboat Nevada
In the East river. injuring some Of her
passengers. H..
The cable and elevated roads In this
city and the trolley lines in Brooklyn
and Jersey City kept snow plows in
constant service. and were not badly
impeded. There were two serious blocks
Of half hour each on Broadway. and
trains on the Suburban Elevated road
and on the Staten Island Rapid Transit
were delayed in the early hours. and
late.
The cold weather filled the city iodg-
Ing houses to overfowing. and many
women and children who applied for
shelter were sent to the different hos
pitfalls. Trains and railways terminal
ing in greater New York and Jersey
City were delayed by the storm. but
none to q great extent. Most Of the
through trains were from 20 minutes
to half an hour late. Local trains ran
close to schedule time.
The storm started like the blizzard Of
March IL. 1883. that tied up traffic in
this city for several days. Weather
Forecaster Dunn said last night:
THE weather conditions have taken
on form resembling more the outline
Of the blizzard than any other storm
that has appeared on our maps for
many years. During the blizzard there
was q storm central over the lake re-
gions and a secondary depression over
the South Atlantic states. This morn
ing almost exactly similar conditions
prevailed, with only a slight difference
in the localities OF the storm center.
The storm over the lakes this morning
was well defined. but its secondary de-
preston differed little from the bliz-
zayd. because this morning 1t was not
over the South Atlantic coast. but just
little of the South Atlantic coast
states"
The suspension OF the snow storm
now seems to be permanent, however.
and unless II should be renewed there
seems to be no fear Of a duplication of
the blizzard of 'SS.

INSTITUTES WON TWO.
Another Series of Games Rolled With
the Business Men.

The Carroll Institute bowlers moved up
few percentage points in the Bowling
League race last night, and by so doing
made the contest bewean them and the
Saengerbund for championship honors ad-
ditionally interesting.
The Business Men, though playing at
hor1e, could do no more than win one of
the three games bowied, making a poorer
record on their own alleys than was to be
expected. considering their recent new
good work. None OF the team scores on
either side reached eight hundred, tn,
bowling all around being below the league
standard. Armstrong was very much in
evidence in difficult sparing, making the
two good ones Of 81 and 80. Rice led
both teams with the good average of 119.
Shlesinger leading the Business Men with
the average OF III. Smithson, who bowled
in Hellriegefs place for the South Wash
inSton team showed up poorly, bowling al
for highest game.
The institute bowlers ran away from the
home team at the opening of the first
game having a lead of IS pins by tn, close
of the second frame. This lead was in
creased in nearly every inning throughout
the game. Shlesinger's strong finish bowl
ing os pins in the last two boxes, pulling
his team out past the 100 mark.
The score follows:

FRENCH SCHOOL OF MINES.
Regulations Regarding Admission of
American Students

General Porter. United States ambassa-
dor to France, has written TO the Secre-
tary Of State, i'm answer to an inquiry in
regard to the admission of student from
the United States into the School of Mines
No foreign student, ne says. can enter any
of the schools OF France-medicine, phar-
macy. dentistry, veterinary. painting. de-
sign. architecture, music. defamation, en-
cheering, etc.-without the formal appli-
cation of the diplomatic representative of
his country. In most cases two letters sur-
hce. one making application. the other ex-
pressing thanks when the request il
granted. Sometimes more correspondence
Is necessary, for the reason that those pro-
posing to enter any of the high grade
schools have to produce certain certificates
OF studies, or diplomas, which the authori-
ties accept only when they come through
the embassy. These rules says Genera
Porter, apply to all foreign students No
discrimination is made against Americans:
on the contrary, the authorities extend ali
possible facilities to them. There is IA
large number of American students in
Paris, and, as a rule. they are much liked
by the teachers I'm French institutions
AS for the School of Mines he contin-
ues. foreigners can be admitted there eith-
er as foreign pupils, In which case they
auditors, in which case there is no exam-
ination. All the courses however. are nor
open to that class of students and no di-
ploma is granted them. In both cases they
have TO pay 30 francs tSg.6J) for rnatric,i-
iatlon- III the school is full as occasionally
happens, the application for admission Ia
put on until the next year.

CONDENSED by FREEZING,


From the Philadelphia Record.
Considering the wide and extended use
OF condensed milk products the new
method of manufacturing ii by a freez-
ing instead of a heating process as car
ried out at Cattaraugus. y. Y. is i'm
portant and interesting. The first treat
ment consists In placing the milk in a
vacuum chamber TO rid it of animal gases
and atmospheric air dissolved in the
milk, which appears at the surface in bub-
bles and thus escape. This reduces the
volume of the milk about one-tenth. The
milk leaves this chamber at the proper
temperature for the removal OF the fat
ty contents by means of cream separa-
tor which Is set to run heavy cream.
During this process any foreign matter.
such as solid particles, which are always
in evidence, are removed and the cream
is added subsequently to the finished pro-
duct.
From the separator the fat-free milk is
run over bank of copper pipes through
temperature of the milk from 50 de-
grees. After passing over these cooling
coils it is placed in refrigerating cham
bers and constantly stirred. In about
nine hours the whole bulk of milk is con-
verified into a mass of ice crystals and milk
sufficiently thick to form into hummocks.
This is again placed in centrifugal. and
the milk reduced in volume about one-hdlf
An average sample of the ice, which looks
very much like snow, gives on analysis
only about two-tenths of one per cent of
solid matter. The now thick milk is
turned to the freezing closet, and In about
seven hours more II is reduced to dense
mass of crystals, which, after centrifugal
treatment, measures only one-quarter Of
the original bulk A third freezing of four
and half hours. and a centrifugal eX-
traction, reduces the bulk of the milk TO
about thirteen per cent of its original vol
ume.
The final step Of the process is the adj
mixture of the heavy cream in proper pro-
portions to the fat-free milk. This final
product, or condensed milk. is fair rep
resentation of milk minus the bulk of its
water. Moreover, it is free from foreign
taYors. and has an aroma which is true to
the milk from which it is prepared. 1t
mixes readily with water, forming milk
from which cream will separate as from
untreated milk. To show the great con-
centration of the milk, it may be stated
that taking 100 gallons of milk unit
quantity, this would reduce to thirteen
gallons in the end In other words, the
eighty-seven gallons of water in the milk
formed into ice. leaving unfrozen
balance Of very thick milk, which repre-
SentS In milk sugar, caSein and inorganic
salts fully nine gallons of solids The fat
equivalent added by the heavy cream re-
moved in the first operation is adjusted in
the final treatment to represent a dilution
with water three parts and condensed
milk one part, proportion Of three and
six-tenths per cent of milk fat which is
the normal proportion in the average milk
1t Is stated that condensed milk prepared
in this manner will keep indefinitely as
the micro-organisms producing fermen-
tation are destroyed.
