Spain Desires to Avoid Any Further
Effusion of Blood.

Spain Desires to Avoid Any Further
Effusion of Blood.
Washington, Nov. 29-It is the i'm
preston at the state department that
the peace commissions work is now near
an end, and that about two weeks time
will about suffice to close it up. This
idea Is based on the belief that instead
of undertaking to arrange the several
matters yet to be settled in the treaty
of peace, a general clause will be placed
in the treaty binding each of the parties
to begin negotiations in the near future
upon those subjects. 1t was said at the
state department that the next step in
order will be to begin negotiations for
the acquisition of ITALIAN, in the Caro-
line islands, for cable station. This
will be an offer in all sincerity to pur-
chase the island at a fair price.
Spain has accepted the United States
offer of $40, 100000, and at joint session
of the peace commissioners yesterday
afternoon, consented without condition
to relinquish Cuba and to cede Porto
Rico, Guam and the Philippines.
Spain's reply yesterday. in substance,
continued by declaring that the United
States had offered. as kind of COM
pensation to Spain, something very in
adequate to the sacrifices that coun-
try made at this moment, and she felt,
therefore, that the United States pro-
posals could not be considered just and
equitable.
Spain had, however. exhausted all the
resources of diplomacy in an attempt
to justify her attitude. Seeing that an
acceptance Of the proposals made to
Spain was necessary condition to a
continuance of negotiations, and seeing
that the resources of Spain were not
such as to enable her to re-enter upon
war, she was prepared, in her desire to
avoid bloodshed. and from considera-
lions of humanity and patriotism, to
| submit to the conditions of the conquer
! ing nation. however harsh they might
be. She was. therefore, ready to ac-
| cept the proposals of the American COM
mission as presented at the last sit
! ting.

OUR BEARDED
LADY.

Designing men, through alluring and cum
ringly worded advertisements, constantly
endeavor to work upon the feelings of sick
and ailing women by inviting them 'towrite
to a yonan Cd and secure voMdn'S SYM
pathy." 1t is we'll to remember that the
best sympathy is to had at home and not
from strangers, perhaps hundreds of miles
distant. The object of the sick is to get well,
and however precious sympathy may be, it
never vet cured seriously afflicted woman.
While the sympathy of your milliner or
dressmaker might be appreciated and be
lust as beneficial, if not more so, than SYM
pathy from a stranger, yet it can not effect
your cure if you are an ailing woman. t
1t is loudly proclaimed through the press
that "a woman can best understand a
woman's ailments, and on this ground sick
women are invited to write to woman
and get the benefit of woman's advice.
The sort of understanding of her ailments"
wanted by sick woman is a trained medi-
cal understanding. If woman has this
trained medical knowledge she understands
woman's ailments not as aoman, but as
bhYstciaR If she is not doctor she cannot
understand the ailments at all, and cannot
treat them successfully, because she lacks
the necessary training.
AS far as known, there Is no regularly
qnali6ed woman physician connected with
any proprietary medicine especially de-
signed for women--no one, therefore quail
fed by learning and experience, to advise
on questions of disease and its cure.
1t is certain that there is no one, man or
woman, connected with any "put up"
medicine for women, excepting only DR..

Dr. Pierce, Is regular graduated and quail
fed physician and who has like him de-

MYSTERIES OF cAKE-BAKING.
Sallie Joy White Explains the Why
and Wherefore Of Every Stop
In the Process.

In making cake if you wish to insure
its being good you must use only the
best ingredients, be accurate in your
measurements and follow the rue i'm
plicitly. Use wooden spoon fer mix
ing, and always mix the batter in an
earthen dish. Metal, either in mixing
bowl or spoon, is apt to destroy the deli
cacy of the cake. Butter that
has the least unpleasant taste VIII de-
velop greater unpleasantness when
cooked, and spoil the article of food into
which it has been put. Baking powder,
cream of tartar and soda should l,e add
ed to the sifted -four, and the whole
passed again through the sieve. Flour
should be sifted before it is measured.
Unless contrary directions are given in
the rule which you are using, the
whites and yolks of the eggs should be
beaten separately. The best sugar to
use in cake-making is the fine granu-
lated. The coarser sugar makes the
cake coarser also, and with tendency
to heaviness
So much for the ingredients; now for
the way in which they are put together.
Cream the butter first of all, have the
mixing bowl warm, as that will help
soften the butter and get it in a condi-
ton to beat. When it is light and
creamy add the sugar, beating i thor
oughly in. Then put in the flavoring
or spices, then beat in the yolks of the
eggs, which you have whisked well, so
that they are light and smooth, next
add the milk, then the flour, and last of
all the well-beaten whites of the eggs.
Beat vigorously for half minute.
When you start to make cake you
want to make sure that your oven is
right for the baking, and that there is
sufficient coal in the fire to last through.
Butter your cake pans, and line them
with thin paper. The heat should be
moderate, and care should be taken to
keep the cake from being Jared, else it
will be heavy. After the cake is baked
it is better to let it partially cool in the
pans, especially II it is a very delicate
cake.-Woman's Home Companion.

sene Of the Queer Rules E.foreeA
On Q southern Road FoE<y
Years Ago.

Vice President j.. NJ. Eagan, OF the
Central railway of Georgia, has brought
to light some old rules which governed
the running of trains on the Central
40 years ago. They sound strange to-
day, even to those who are unfamiliar
with the standard rules.
On the old Central the practice was
to run freight trains during the day
only, and to stop them off at some sta
ton at night A freight train that
would leave station after six o'clock
would run to some point that they
could reach between six and seven
o'clock, where they would remain over
night, starting out again the next
morning. The time card shows that
they occupied the greater part of two
days in running freight train be-
tween Savannah and Macon, a distance
of 1e1 miles. Following are some OF the
rules for engine men, taken from the
time card of 1856:
"The engine man will be subject to
pay the fare of any person who may
ride upon his engine without proper au-
thority."
"All engines unprovided with lamps,
and running at night out of time, must
keep their dampers open, SO as to show
a light"
"As a general rule when trains meet
between stations the train nearest the
turnout will run back. Any dispute as
to which train will retire will be deter
mined at once by the conductors, with
out any interference on the part of the
engine men. This rule is required to
be varied in favor of the heaviest-load,
ed engine or worst grades, if they meet
near the center. In cases of backing a
man must be placed on the lookout SC
| that any danger to the remotest part
of the train may be seen and the en-
CINE man at once receive notice-the
backing must be done very cautiously
"The spark catcher or chimney of an
engine getting out of order, SO as to
endanger the safety of the train, the
conductor must put the train out the
first turnout, and return his engine
to Savannah for repairs-a watchman
must be left with the train"
"The conductor must not intrust his
keys to any of the hands, or suffer any
person not duly authorized to enter
his car, and he will in all cases be
charged with freight lost or damaged
while under his charge. On entering OF
leaving a turnout he will see that the
switches are replaced to the proper
track, and he will always be certain
that he arrives at a station with the
same number of cars with which he
left the last station"
"All officers of this company will be
required to pay freight on merchandise
or produce transported over this road
except butter, eggs and fruit-those
articles will be allowed to go free as
far as they are required for the use oi
their own families; other articles fol-
the use of their families will be trans
ported at one-half less than the usua
rates."
On the South Carolina railroad time
card No. 2, June, 1855, reads as fol
lows:
'In cases of dense fogs, the down
trains will run with their whistles blow.

off the engines at every mile board, and
