CANNOT COME BACK NOW.
War Department Would Like to Muster
Out Volunteers at Manila, but Gen.
Otis says They Are Needed There.

Washington, Nov. i5.-Great pres
sure is being brought upon the war
department to have the volunteer
troops now in the Philippines return
to this country. Nearly every state
that has troops stationed ut Manila
has asked through its governor or rep
resentatives in congress that these
troops be sent home. This pressure
comes through the relatives and
friends of the volunteers and Is
started by the troops who have been
writing home. Some of these letters
published in the state papers at the
homes of the enlisted men have Gre
ated a wave of sympathy for the volun-
teers in far-off Manila While they do
not recount very great hardships, ex-
cept among those who are Ill,
they do show that the life Is very OBJ
noxious and that the duty of policing
the city of Manila and remaining
inactive is very disagreeable. 1t is
said at the war department that there
is no way of relieving these troops
from duty in the Philippines at the
present time. The Uncertain condi.
tions that exist in the island of Luzon
make il utterly impossible 10 get along
with a smaller numbe than are sta
toned there at present Gen. Otis has
been asked by cable If troops could be
spared and has replied in the negative.

R00SEVELT'S WAR RECORD.
Croker Explains My the Democrats Lost
Na4 York.

New York, Nov. 11-"It was
Roosevelts war record that elected
him. The chief cause of VanWyck s
defeat was the popularity Of the sol
der candidate Had Roosevelt run
for governor day after he returned
from Cuba he would have been
elected by 100000 majority. Had
the election been held q week later
he would have been defeated by
$4,000. II Admiral Dewey ran to-
morrow for President of the United
States on the democratic ticket he
would carry every state in the union.
Had Admiral Dewey opposed Roose
Yelt for governor the republicans
would have been overwhelmed
The above is Boss Crokers e1pla-
nation Of the election in New York.
The democracy of Greater New
York. said Mr. Croker, never did
better. 1t gave $4,000 majority to
the ticket. Flower was elected Gov
ernor when it only gave $4,000. Hill
himself when a candidate never car
ried the territory by any such vote
The success of Capt Chanler over
Quigg illustrates the popularity of
the soldier candidate. He won in a
district that was republican by IL,
600 and carried it by a handsome
majority"
"What else have you to say in re.
gard to the conduct Of the campaign
outside OF the city,
Il had nothing to do with the
campaign in New York The rest
of the state was in charge of the
state committee aud others. As to
what they did l have ro,hing to
say"

MAKING JELtrEs.
There Are Many Traditional Notions
That Are of Little PFac-
teal Value.

Taking into account the tridiug cost
Of iellies and their many uses, the
wonder is that SO little jelly IS made
as a part of the regular family stores.
Ordinary apples, such as the farmer
sells for making cider, are readily OBJ
tainable often at little more than the
cost of carriage. These, when not too
ripe, make jelly fine enough for any
purpose. Indeed, apple jelly has
wider range of uses than almost any
Jelly that is made. AS an accompani-
ment to almost all meats, it is by many
persons preferred to any other sort.
1t is admirable for cake, gives keen
relish to pot cheese, and with dishes
Of which the principal part is milk it
imparts flavor obtained by no other
means.
Apple jelly is easily made and keeps
better than most jellies, coming but
slowly to the granulating process,
which is the condition most to be APP
pretended. The apples must be quite
green, but should be of good, fresh
flavor and rather tart. Cut them in
slices or quarters, putting in cores and
skins together. One may choose be-
tween putting a few apples in a ket-
lie with a little water and adding ap-
Plies as they make juice, or fill the
kettle and supply sufficient water to
cook the fruit. The former gives a
richer, thicker juice, but the latter is
quite good enough, especially if
quantity is to be made for general use.
When the apple has boiled Fer about
Is minutes. or until it Will all crush to
y i
it from hook where it will drip and
not be disturbed. There are many
traditional notions and facts about
jelly bags, but they are of little practi-
cal value. If the pulp is carefully
handled and not shaken up so as to be
heldin solution, as it were, the juice will
run very clear after the first two min
utes. The first drip can be put
through the bag again. As for jelly
presses and weights, they are useless
to the expert unless the juice is to be
filtered, an operation that requires al
together too much time and patient
work and care. Some of the most per-
feet jelly ever made was drained
through a mosquito netting and some
that was so cloudy as to be worthless
went through a very thick flannel bag.
The juice is measured and put into
a preserving kettle or saucepan as
soon as it runs through the bag. APP
pie jelly is specially economical be-
cause it takes less sugar than any 9th
er sort. Instead of pint Of juice and
one pound of sugar, three pints of
juice and two pounds of sugar answer
very well, and if the apples are what
they should be, half pound of sugar
to a pint of juice does admirably In
deed, one jelly maker never uses more
than this proportion for any of her ap-
pie, ounce or ripe grape jellies.
Just how long jelly must boil is de-
batable point. So much depends upon
the condition of the fruit that no arbi'
trary rule can be laid down. The more
watery the juice, the longer it takes &c
evaporate it. 1t will not set until &
certain amount of water has beer
disposed of.-N. Y. Ledger.

Constitutional Limit no Bar.

St. Louis, Mo, Nov IL The
United States court of appeals has
decided that constitutional limita
ton is no bar to the legal collection
of an honest debt.
The case was that of E. H. Rollins
and Sons against the board of eoun-
ty commissioners of Rio Grande
county, Colorado, The suit is an
action to recover judgment on a
number of county warrants. In the
United States circuit court of Colo
RADIO the defendants admitted that
the debt was an honest one, but that
the issue of warrant was in excess
of the amount allowed by the con-
stitution, and consequently they
asked that 1t be declared null and
void They were sustained by the
court, but the appellate court re
versed the decision and remanded it
for another trial, insisting that the
lower court was in error by directing

THE COUNTRY WOMAN'S LIFE.
How She Can Brighten 1t by Co
operative Eff0rt-Reading Clubs
and Dramatic Glasses.

If we want the lives of our girls ard
women on the farms to mean more,
their lives must, first of all, be made
easier. There is too much mental work
being done on cur farms by wives and
daughters which ought to be done by
hired help. If the women on our farms
would form among themselves 'Leis-
ure Guilds" and devise ways and means
to have some of their work done for
them, and would not do it all them
selves, the initial step would be taken
toward the emancipation and free
dom from isolation of thousands or
women. See, for example, what can be
done in a town for the Improvement or
everybody in it, and start, if you Will,
with a public library. There is pub
lie gallery of prints of the best paint
ings; of good Photographs gallery
made as the nucleus for an amateur
photograph club, with summer Jaunts
and an exhibition in the winter. There
Is a collection to be made for such
gallery of specimens of all the rocks,
and plants, and flowers, and insects
of the place--the finest material Tor
pleasant winter evening studies and
classes in natural history. There is
the organization of band for music
in the summer evenings on the green,
with refreshments served by girls to
raise money for some other object; Il
concert or lecture in the fall, perhaps.
There are reading classes and dramat-
ic clubs to be formed for the winter.
There is n woman's club for the study
of current events and books; farm
er's club for the men for the discus
sion of agricultural science and eco
monies; n sewing club for the girls;
a manual training club for the boys;
a debating society for the boys;
branch of the Chautauqua circle; a
Kings Daughters circle for some spe-
cific neighborhood need or purpose;
an art exhibition of the pictures from
the magazines; singing school for
concert during the winter; neigh
