STAR OF HOPE.

Among institutional journalism,
none has attained such brilliant
heights as has the Star of Hope.
It is a betelguese for others to
admire and aspire to.
Its typographical appearance at
tracts the eye, and it's variegated
locals are witty, profound and in
structive. Its different depart
ments, including Sing Sing,
Auburn and Clinton, cover an
extensive field Of thought, and
each show abundant evidence that
it's staff of contributors are some
thing more than ordinary doormat
thieves.
With the exception Of a few
excerpts, the paper is entirely orig
inal: and, unlike other literary
pigmies, it does not reach from
the sublime to the ridiculous.
The last issue contains many ar
ticles worthy of careful perusal,
and among these are Journalism
and Criminals" imprisonment a
Failure,' "The Gospel Of Work, ~
and "What of the Moment" The
poetical muse wakes fat and grows
sensuous within their silent pre-
cincts. It is pure, wholesome and
captivating and would cause a feel
ing Of exultation to sparkle across
the countenance Of even such re-
nowned bards as Longfellow,
Whittier and Ella Wheeler Will
COX. There is not verb that is
suggestive or repellant to the SEN
sitive; and [ defie even the most
bigoted and obtuse prude to find
anything but that which is elevat-
ing, inspiring and constructive.
Under the head Of the various de-
partments from the several pri-
sons are to be found local raft of
news that makes the whole penal
colony feel oneness and familiar
ity that can only tend toward the
general good.
The editors Of the Star Of Hope
only lack one essential ingredi-
ent to make frst-class metropol-
itan paper, and that is, an illus
traitor to cartoon it's contributions.
This would greatly enhance its
value, encourage it's contributors S,
and please inside and outside
readers alike without additional
cost Of any moment. For all we
know, this may be one of the pos
sibilities Of the near future.

DAIRY WISDOM.

DAIRY WISDOM.
Never churn in cold room.
Do not fill the churn more than one
third full.
If the cream is not stirred frequently
and thoroughly, it will not ripen even
ly, consequently the churning cannot
be thorough.
Be sure the temperature OF. the cream
is right, which should be from 60 to 20
degrees, according to the condition of
the cream.
Test the skimmilk and buttermilk,
not once, but frequently, and by close
study conditions can be controlled that
there will be no loss.
A dairyman can suffer severe loss in
this way-enough or more perhaps than
to pay for the services of a competent
assistant in the business.
In some conditions it might ripen
more rapidly near the sides of the can
or vat, in others near the middle, so it
must be stirred several times day.
If you find that you are losing butter
fat in the skimmilk or buttermilk, or
both, then there is big fault in the
way you are handling your milk, and
don't rest until you find where it is.
YARDING COWS AT NIGHT.
The practice of bringing COWS up at
night is not good one. 1t is far bet
ter to leave them in the pasture and
milk them there, even though it makes
more labor. In hot weather the cows,
if allowed their freedom, will Craze
during the evening and early morning
while dew is in the grass, and will then
lie down to digest what they have
eaten. If yarding of cows is done at
any time in summer it should be in the
middle of the day.

CHOATEs EFFORTS IN
MRS. MAVERICKS BEHALF
Additional Pressure Brought to Bear
Upon the British Gov
a1-rl Pnf

WASHINGTON, July According to
the State Department officials there is no
need for the Medical and Legal Relief
Society of New York or any other body
sending petitions to the British Govern
ment for the release of Mrs. Maybrick.
Embassador Choate is devoting q great
deal of his attention to the Maybrick
case, and as result Of his insistence the
British authorities are considering a re-
quest for the freedom of the prisoner.
The State Department recently sent sew
eral memorials TO the British Govern
ment through United States Embassador
Choate, and they doubtless will be placed
on file with others which have been trans
mitted from time to time for some years
past.
Nothing has been received from Mr..
Choate respecting the result Of the addi
tional pressure he has brought to bear
upon the London Government, but 1t is
evident the department does not enter
tain any high hopes that Mrs. Maybrick
will be liberated. So far as high British
officials are concerned, 1t is said they are
willing to release the prisoner, but sub
ordinate officials contend that such ac-
ton would not be proper.

COEUR D'ALENES STRIKE
AS A NATIONAL ISSUE

NEW YORK, July 2-Ex-General Mas
ter Workman James R. Sovereign of the
Knights of Labor to-day visited the Cen
tral Federated Union and stirred up eX-
citement among the delegates on the ac-
ton of General Merriam in the Coeur
d Alene district. He said he had come as
a representative of the organized miners
of the Rocky Mountain mines, and he
thanked the New York unions for the pro-
tests that they had made against the dcs-
potism that had been alleged had existed.
Mr. Sovereign threw the responsibility
trict upon John d. Rockefeller. who, he
said owned the Bunker Hill Company and
controlled other mines. The manager Of
the mines, he said, had an agreement with
the miners that when the prices of silver
and lead ores rose they would pay them
rise, and when the men asked for the ad-
vanced'rates they were refused. The men
orga nized and the managers began dis
charging them in blocks Of ten and
twenty.
The ex-general master workman then
described the gathering of the men, their
taking possession Of a train and loading
ii with 1000 pounds of dynamite with which
they blew up some of the works. 1T was
the grandest pyrotechnic display that 1
ever knew Of in my life he continued,
-'but ii had not been ordered or planned
by the union. 1t was the men themselves
who had been goaded to desperation.
I'VE propose to make a national issue
of this. because it involves national inter-
ests. There may be jealousies and rival
ries among trades unions, but when the
enemy turns the gatling guns against one
and we are of fighting blood out West and
we will fight it out there"

ORGANIZING FOR A
GENERAL STRIKE
Chicago Packing-House Employees
Form a Union With This
Ell d in View.

CHICAGO. July 2.-There will be no
general strike of packing-hOuse employees
at present This much was decided on at
a mass meeting of discontented laborers
held this afternoon at FOrty-third and
Wallace streets The idea of strike has
not been given up altogether, but the
opinion prevailed that the time was not
vet ripe and that the interests of the men
would be best conserved by waiting until
an organization could be perfected of suf-
ficient strength to carry TO a success1ul
conclusion any movement of the kind.
The first move in that direction was
made at the meeting. An organization
known as the Packing House employees
Union was formed and over 800 men be-
came members. The aVoWed purpose or
the union is to fight the packers and IT
was said openly at the meeting that as
soon as the union was sufficiently strong
the packers would have to meet the de-
mands of the men or a general strike
would take place. BY September the
union is expected TO have membership
of f5 900 and if by that time the demands
of the men for better working hours and
Increased wages are not complied with 1t
was said. a general tieup of the packing
houses would be ordered In the mean
time all the employees were cautioned to
continue with their work. The names II
the officers of the new organization were
kept secret.

AGUIRRE AND EDGAR
ALREADY CLASHING
Violation of Prison Rule Causes
a Rise in Prophetic
S+oolz
SAN QUENTIN PRISON. July

SAN QUENTIN PRISON. July 2.-The
expected clash between Warden Aguirre
and Captain of the Yard Edgar has
come sooner than was expected It was
not a momentous event, but such as it
was it shows pretty clearly that the
prophecies of the wiseacres are in a fair
way TO be fulfilled at no distant date.
One of the strictest rules of the prison
is that IN no. case shall a member of
the fair sex be allowed inside the walls
except to act as nurse for a sick person.
James K. Russell, the new captain Of
the guard. was ignorant of this rule and
to-day permitted several ladies', accom-
panied by their escorts, TO go through
the gates. The party was met by Cap
tain Edgar who nearly tainted at so
fragrant a breach of the rules. Holding
the party il the Office courier was
sent 20 Aguirre and a consultation held
The Warden was at first inclined to up-
hold Russell, and would have done so
had not Edgar reminded him in unmistak-
abe terms that the rule had been made
by the Prison Directors and not by the
Warden. AS Aguirre already has as
much as he wants of the directors he
finally concluded to abide by the rule.
and with many apologies the ladies We're
asked to return.
Warden Aguirre denies that this oc-
currence took place. in view Of the fact
that he has boasted that no paper shall
have any prison news unless he saws so
his statement in this instance is deemed
important.

TROOPS SENT ON
FORGED MESSAGES
Governor Brady Explains the Send

County.

LOUISVILLE CKy), July "A special
to the Courier-Journal from Lexington
says:
Governor Brady arrived here to-day
from Cincinnati with the information that
the call for 300 State troops last night
was the result of forged messages to him
purporting to be from a gentleman in
Lexington in whom the Governor had
confidence. and a message from Frank
fort, purporting to be from a State Off
Ger. He was informed by these messages
that there was much trouble in Clay
County: that the Howards We're sur
rounded and We're at the mercy of the
Philpots and Bakers, and that unless the
troops were sent at once many lives
would be sacrificed. The Governor imme-
diately issued the order for the troops to
go TO Clay County this morning. Later
ne became suspicious, and after tele-
phone consultation with Adjutant-Gene
Collier and Lieutenant-ColO Williams
the orders were revoked.
The Governor says he will do all he can
to fix the responsibility for the fake.

Los ANGELES, July 2.-The High
School pupils of this city have been
formed into a corps of guides for the Ma
tional Educational Association visitors,
and are already doing excellent service.
The New England people of the city have
formed an organization and arrange
ments are being made by 1t for the re-
ception of New England delegates. Presi-
dent Guy Wadsworth. chairman OF the
New England delegation, informs the

committee and the members of the flower
committee to meet the incoming dele
gates fifty miles outside of the city is be-
ing carried out effectively and is making
a delightful impression on the visitors.
Interviews with numerous teachers who
arrived on the first special. as well as
many who came on subsequent special
and regular trains. have shown that the
plan of the teachers to give the Eastern
ers an advance refreshing taste and smell
Of what Southern California produces IN
the way of fruit and flowers, is much ap-
preCiated.
OF forty-fve passengers on the 9:25
Sunset train the majority were teachers
from Shreveport. La. They were delight
ed at being received by Los Angeles
citizens at such distance from their
point of destination.
To-day the electric cars and all trains
running from the city and the sea coast
and mountain resorts about the city were
laden with the visitors, who were anxious
to escape the heat of the city and see
what Southern California had TO offer IN
the way of attractions. The ostrich
farm, the railroad TO the top of the
Sierra Madre and the oil well district
attracted many of the visitors.
