Melons are delicious and refresh
ing for breakfast, served perfectly
cold and without ice. They are
best when chilled in the cellar or
in cold water. When preparing
cantaloupe for the table do not fill
the spaces from which you remove
the seeds with ice, it destroys the
flavor. Many enjoy their canta-
loupes served with a little grou nd
cinnamon or salt this is precau-
tionary measure of taste. A sus-
picion Of grated nutmeg will add
greatly to the flavor of some melons.

the head-waters of the Mississippi, where
an abundance Of spring water could be
secured in a locality where the natural
conditions would be favorable for the
breeding and spawning. The facilities
at Willow Brook for the work of the
commission are all that could be de-
sired by the commission, as the brook
from which the institution derives it's
name furnishes an ample supply Of clear
spring water, which is absolutely neceS-
sary, especially In the breeding of trout,

There is no disposition whatever on
the part Of the commission to move the
hatchery, II arrangements can be made
to purchase The property If the owner
of one-half the tract won't sell, the COM
mission has the other alternative. The
part owned by Mr.. Hughson would of
itself be of no use to the commission, as
the whole tract is no more than large
enough for the growing demands of the
work of the commission.
Superintendent Morgan, who has been
in charge of the hatchery for a number
of years, recently made a report to the
commission in which he recommended
that the present site be purchased at
once and several new buildings be 'put
up, or the institution moved to some
other point where the commission could
hold the land in the name of the state.

PRESIDENT AT HOME.
Is Given "a Cordial Greeting by Ear
Iy-Day NeiEhbOrs.


CANTON, O., Aug. 3O.-For the first
time in nearly year, President and Mrs.
Mckinley are among their relatives,
neighbors and friends in Canton for few
days of rest. They arrived on a special
train at noon and were met by a vast
concourse of people, who extended
hearty welcome and escorted them to the
Barber home, where they will be the
guests during their stay in the city.
A reception committee comprising the
mayor, postmaster and other prominent
citizens, had met the presidential train
at Alliance and accompanied the presi-
dent and party to Canton. 1t is under
stood that while here the president and
Mrs. Mckinley will be given the greatest
possible degree of rest and quiet.
At the Barber residence Judge Baldwin,
in a few words, extended TO Tee president
the heary welcome of friends and neigh
bors. To this the president Responded.
Judge Baldwin and my fellow citizens:
1 appear only for a monument that l may
give expression of my appreciation of the
more than gracious welcome which you
have extended to me today. After all
there is no place like home. And this is
my home. Here, thirty-two or three
years ago, ] commenced my professional
life; here have been formed some of the
most tender and sacred associations; some
of them, indeed, have been severed, but
this is the seat and the center of my
memory. Heretofore, nearly a third of
a century. you have given me kindly
greeting, words of encouragement, and
ShOWered upon me honor after honor all
undeserved. and I appear before you now
only to express what is in my heart
that [ am glad to see you, glad to meet
you, to look into your faces once again
and feel the inspiration of your approval -
cloud and prolonged applause.)

horse had strayed onto the cuIvert at

stuck fast. when Mrs. Britten came by.
Realizing that the Chicago & Alton pas

and would surely be hurled from the

was warned in time, the plucky woman
sought means to give the alarm. It
was too late to have word sent to the

approaching train was heard, Mrs Brit

of averting a catastrophe was left to her.
Remembering her red petticoat, Mrs.
Britten quickly removed it, and, waving
it above her head she ran down the
track in the direction of the oncoming

LONDON, Aug. 80. Baron Albert
Grant, the company promoter, is dead
His title was conferred on him by King
Humbert in 1868 for service in connection
with the Victor Emmanuel gallery at
Milan. Grant was the Hooley of his day
He was best known in connection with
the Emma silver mine scandal. The CAPT.
tai was fixed at 100000 shares of S20
Three members of parliament were on the
board Of directors and r. c. Schenck, the
United States minister to England, was
also a director. This was considered a
masterpiece of promotion, as Mr.
Schencks name inspired great confidence
The prospectus showed that dividend of
so per cent was possible Two Ameri-
cans, Park and Stewart, were the vendors
Of the mine, which turned out to be
worthless. Only a shilling per share was
saved from the wreck, and it afterwards
developed that Park and Stewart paid
Grant 100000 promoting money, besides
other sums. Mr.. Schenck is also said to
have received 10000 from Park to buy
shares and become a director. A report
on the mine. purporting to come from
Prof. Gilman, Of Yale, was pronounced
TO be a forgery. Before the actions
brought against Grant, the directors and
Park and Stewart were decided, Grant
failed, and the trustees appointed by the
court decamped with the proceeds of

During the days of his prosperity Grant
presented Leicester square to London, at
cost of 100000, and built a magnificent

Ing Next Week-Other Subjects to
Come Up.
There is revival in the fish and game
commission of the idea that 1t is advis-
able to remove the fish hatchery from St.
Paul to some point on the head-waters
of the Mississippi river. The commits
sion has been paying a high rental for
the present site for a number of years,
and unless some arrangement can be
made to purchase the land it is quite
likely that the change will be made
The situation has been canvassed by
the members Of the board, and 1t has
been a topic of discussion since the new
set of officials took charge of the work
a meeting of the commission has been
called for next week. when some definite
action may be taken The commission
has number of important matters up
for consideration, and its session will
probably hold over two or three days
during fair week.
The property now in use has been rent.
ed by the commission since the estab-
lishment of the hatchery for 5000 per
year. One-half the tract is owned by a
Duluth man, who was a former officer
OF the commission under the Republican
regime, and the other half by E. E.
Hughson, of st. Paul, as trustee for
some estate. Mr.. Hughson has in his
correspondence on the subject expressed
himself as willing to sell the property
to the commission at a reasonable figure
The former Republican official, however,
appears to know a good thing, and abso-
1utely refuses to entertain any overtures
for the purchase of the ground. Just
what use he could put the ground to Is a
question. 1t is situated on the fiat be-
yond the Indian mounds on Daytons
bluff
While there is no appropriation for
purchasing ground, the commission lis a
unit in its belief that the state has maid
rent long enough, and is of the opinion
that by economiZing in other directions
and taking the rent money it could soon
pay for what ever tract was selected.
The state has paid for the property sew
eral times over in rents, and the com
mission has practically decided to re-
move 1t from the present site unless the
property can be secured in the name Of
the state.
The buildings now on the grounds are
very unsubstantial, all of them being
frame structures. and very little would
be lost in this direction; in fact, If the
hatchery should remain at Willow
Brook, 1t will be necessary to make ex-
tensive repairs, as some of the build
ings are quite old, and one or two of
them should be replaced
The State Game and Fish commission
has full authority to move the hatchery
at will, and Mr.. Cramb, of st. Cloud.

Ell PASO, Tex, Aug. 30.-It was report

Mrs Rich, who, it is alleged, killed her
husband, had been taken from Juarez to
Chihuahua, Mex, under a strong guard
on the previous day. An investigation

Womans grated window opens on the

prisoner called to him from within, asking
when she might expect to get trial for
her alleged crime. A guard sitting in the
shade across the street motioned to the
newspaper man to move on and he did
so. When Mrs Rich was surrendered to

out that the reporters could see her at

ON THE AMERICAN PLAN

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3O.-The insular
commission. consisting of Gen. Kennedy,
Judge Curtis and Nal Watkins, which
has given six months study to the con-
ditions of the island OF Porto Rico, today
made its report to Secretary Root. 1t
recommends a form of civil military re-
gime. and submits, for adoption, code
of laws These laws it recommends
should be placed in operation by execu.-
tive decree, urging that a congressional
enactment of general laws would change
the status Of the island toward the
United States, and make it part of the
constitutional territory of the United
States.
The code of laws and the civil govern
ment proposed do not give the Porto
Ricans the elective franchise for any
offices or extend to them the privilege
OF trial py Jury, except IN chlteu oldleS
courts in cases Of felonies involving an
amount in excess Of $500. 1t recommends
that the military force remain in the
island, but be kept in the background,
and touch the people only with a soft
hand. English is to be made the official
language of the island, but for the pres
ent all except the federal courts are to
be conducted in Spanish.

TIE RIGHT OF NOMlNA TON.

The problem: What shall 1t profit
man, If he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?" depends on the
value OF the soul that enters into the
transaction. and the condition OF the
market. The souls OF some men are so
small. that as long ago as the Middle
Ages an expert calculated that 10000
of them could waltz at n. time, with
room and verge enough. on the point
of the finest cambria needle. BESIDES
that, many men estimate their souls as
an encumbrancc. and have no more
conscience than they have hair in tho
palms OF their hands: and it has long
ago been discovered that an honest
trading politician has 10 have his palms
shaver every morning. carly. to be
ready for his days doings.
1t is the trading poli.ician-the born
and hereditary onice-seeicr-who
usually gets ofice.-that is. every pub
lie position or employment that gives
one power or money. or both. as power
and money are easily interconvcrtible:
ana, or couSe, when one Of these gen
tcmcn finds himself in possession of
any power. the trading instinct-which
often breaks out in the voter even
at once causes him to cast about how
and what he can realize upon IL in
cash. This Is not only charac teristic
of the man. but of the age; and as souls
are not quoted on any exchange. or
at any stock board. the soul is thrown
into the bargain as an unconsidcrcd
.rinc.
From this it appears that IL the trad
ing politician and Office seeker were
carefully excluded from public place
and power public affairs would be bet
ter and more honestly administered. for
the general welfare. instead of for the
personal benefit of the so-called agents
of the people and the special interests
that these agents really represent. If
the people nominate such men, they are
to blame; but really, the nominations
arc usually made by a ring or CLIQUE
whose motto is Damn the People 4"
Yet, are not a free people to blame for
this? Nomination in any dominant
party Is election; and IL the people
would but make it understood by a
resolute stand to the effect that they
must choose and nominate in every
case, or the party should be no longer
dominant, the cliques and rings would
cover before their supreme power and
sovereignty, and all would be well.
There should be n legal or constitu-
tional mode Of nomination; and as long
