PRESERVING BEEF.

a new method of preserving freshly
a new method of preserving freshly
killed meat has been discovered by a
Danish zoologist, August Fjelstrup,
who is the discoverer of condensing
milk without the use of sugar. The
system has been used in a Danish
slaughter house for three months.
The animal is first shot or stunned by
a shot from revolver in such a way
as not to injure the brain proper.
When the animal drops down sense
less, an assistant cuts down over the
heart and opens a ventricle, which al
lows the blood to flow out, the theory
of this being that the decomposition
of the blood is almost entirely respon-
sible for the quick putrefaction of the
fresh meat. Immediately after the
blood is let out, a briny solution, that
varies in strength according to the
time the meat is to be kept, is inject
ed by means of a powerful syringe
through the other ventricle into the
veins of the body. The whole process
takes only few minutes, and the beef
is ready for use, and can be cut up at
once.

NEXT SENATE REPUBLICAN
BY AN ESTIMATED MAJORITY OF
SIN TO TEN.
Next House will Have Good Working
Republican Maiority-Sound Money
Issue to Counterfeit Apathy.

There was an important conference
of Republican national leaders in the
city of New York on October Sth, in
regard to the election of the next
United States senate and house of
representatives. Some close figuring
was done and it was the opinion of
those who participated in the meet
ing that they could insure the contin-
uance of Republican control in the
national Legislature.
Senator Mark A. Hanna, chairman
of the Republican national committee;
Representative j. w. Babcock of Wis
consin. chairman of the Republican
congressional committee; Representa-
tive j. A. r. Hull of Iowa, secretary
of the committee; General Charles Ii.
Grosvenor of Iowa, political statisti-
elan of the administration; Vice Pres
ident Hobart and Senator John NJ.
1hurston of Nebraska, took part in
the conference.
From the figures set forth by the
Republican managers it is deduced
that the next United States Senate
will be Republican by from six to ten
votes. that the next house of represent
tatives will have a working majority,
but not so large a majority as the pre-
sent one of fifty-one votes, and that
New York is a doubtful state so far
as the legislature is concerned, which
will elect successor to Senator Muir
ply.
Speaking generally" said Repre-
sentative Babcocll, 1.-THE situation from
our standpoint is much more satisfac-
tory than it was few months ago.
We expect to elect enough Republican
representatives to give us good ma
iority in the house. We figure on los
ing some of the present majority of
tfty-one. Our losses will be in the
eastern, middle and so-called border
states, and will result mainly from 10.
cal causes. We do not anticipate any
loss, but instead are figuring on gains
on national issues. The Democratic
attempt to make capital out of the
criticism of the conduct of the war
will be futile.
On the sound money issue we viii
gain. The trouble in off year elections
when times are good has always been
that the people are apathetic, and the
party in power has suffered. This
year we believe that the Importance
which the people see in the mdinte-
nance of sound money will remo,e the
| apathy"

cry woman cannot be beautiful but n
cheerful face often supplies the defci-
ency. But no one can be cheerful and
bring JOY to others unless they have
perfect health. Fortunately. science
has placed this priceless boon within
the reach of every woman as the fol-
lowing incident proves:
Mrs. Amanda Robinson, wife of Will
liam Robinson. farmer and stockman,
near TOWNSVILLE, Clay county, Indiana,
is thirty-two years old, and had for
several years been in declining health
and respondent. For three months
she was not only unable to attend to
her domestic duties, but too feeble to
be up and about. Today she is i'm good
health and able to attend to her house
hold affairs. She relates her expert
ence as follows:

ing. These vegetable pills are every

BIG CUBAN VICTORY.
Gen. PnndO Loses Over 1000 Men In
Seven Days of Hard
Fighting.

Havana, April 4.-Gen. Pando has
been badly defeated by the Cubans,
during seven days of constant fight
ing in Puerto Principe, and compelled
to retreat from Cicgo de Avila to YER
tientes, on the southern coast of that
province. At Nertientes he sought the
protection of the forts and of the Span
ish gunboats, which, opening fire upon
the pursuing forces of the Cubans, were
able to save Gen. Pando's column from
utter destruction. Gen. Pando started
from Puerto Principe three weeks ago,
to endeavor, with the combined forces
of Gen. Castellanos, to attack the Gu
ban government if his peace proposals,
on the basis of autonomy, were elected
by the patriots. The proposals were
rejected, and he began his military op-
erations~wi a column of 5000 men,
while Gen. Castellanos had 6,000 and
Gen. Luque, at Puerto Padre, 5000 men.
With these 10000 regulars Pando
thought it would be an easy task to
defeat the insurgents, but the result
was that Castellanos had to retreat to
Puerto Principe city, Luque to Puerto
Padre, and now Pando himself to YER
tientes, after having lost over 1000 men
In the three columns.

A True Patriot.

However people may differ from Pres
ident Mckinley on economic or other
political issues, all concede that he has
maintained himself with absolute dig
nifty and manliDess at every stage of the
threatened disruption of our friendly
relations with Spain; and his last dec
laration made on the subject Of war will
be heartily applauded by every patriotic
citizen of the union. He said: Rather
my administration should be an ig-
nominious failure than that it should
be responsible for an unholy war;"
Such is President McKinley's attitude
before the country and before the
world. He is seriously threatened with
war without having directly or indi-
rectly given any just cause to provoke
it. He has hewed to the line in the OBJ
servance of the neutrality laws, and re-
solved all doubts in their favor, even to
an extent that has been criticised by
many intelligent and fair-minded citi-
zens, but he did it in the interest OF
peace. lie did it because the issue OF
war is of such grave magnitude that he
lfelt compelled to err, If he erred ut all,
+ to avert the horrors of war.-Philadel-
