1RlNSVAAI WAR DENOUNCED
Andrew Carnegie Says the Attack Of
Great Britain Upon the Beers

rs MOST INFAMOUS AND UNJUST,
AND is EQUALLED ONLY BY
THE WAR THE UNITED STATES
is MAKING UPON THE FILIPI-
NOS-THESE WARS ARE A DIS
GRACE UPON THE TWO
BRANCHES OF THE ANGLO
SAXON RACE-THE OUTLOOK

PERITY.
NEW YORK, November 9.-Andrew
Carnegie and Mrs. Carnegie were pas
sengers on the White Star steamship
Oceanic. which arrived at her pier to-
day from Liverpool. Mr. Carnegie ap-
pears in good health. He said to re-
porter that the stories that he intended
to become subject Of Great Britain
were without foundation, for he said,
where a mans treasure is, there his
heart is Also
Speaking Of the present war be-
tween England and the Beers, Mr.. Car
negie said: 1.-THE war against the
Beers is most infamous and unjust,
and it was brought about by England's
lust for domain and is on par with
our attack on the poor Filipinos. These
two attacks are disgrace to both
branches of our race.
s'The people in the Transvaal and the
Orange Free State have a right to rule
themselves. One war is an attack on
an existing, and the other on an en-
bryonic republic
1T is worse for US to attack the Fill
ipinoS than for England to attack the
Beers, for we fall from a greater
height, as we believe in government by
the consent of the governed.
1.-THE best men in England have
spoken against the war in the Trans
vaal, and everywhere it is deplored ex-
cept by those whose interests are serv-
ed by it. They are a small clique of
jingoes, headed 10y statesman, | am
sorry to say, who sees in the war a
chance to fortify his position"
Mr.. Carnegie entertained decidedly
optimistic views of the business out
look and the prosperity Of the country.
He said:
II can only look at the business out
look here from abroad which is some
times good point Of view l believe
that nothing can stop 1900 from being
a year of great prosperity, always pro-
vided that in view of the present ex-
cited state of the world and the dan
ger of war begetting war, the United
States keeps out of the struggle. Now
that this country has foreign posses
sion there is more danger than ever
Mr.. Carnegie declined to reply to a
question as to whether it were true
that the syndicate headed by H. c.
Frick had failed to organize the $780,
100000 company to purchase his steel
and iron properties.

SOME LUNCHEON DISHES.
FRUIT SHORTCAKE.


Use the baking powder biscuit rule
only add more shortening; divide the
dough in half and roll each half large
enough to fill the pan it is to be baked
in. Butter the lower layer OF dough
with soft butter, and place the other
half of the dough on top. When baked
separate by passing a warm knife be-
tween the layers. Butter each crust
plentifully, fill with strawberries that
have been warmed and prepared with
sugar, also cover the tap around the
cake. Instead of strawberries use
peaches blackberries, raspberries or
blueberries.
SHORTCAKE.
Sift one quart of bread flour, rub into
it three tablespoonfuls of butter, one
teaspoonful of salt, three tablespoonfuls
of sugar. Beat one egg thoroughly, mix
it with a cup of sour cream, combine
mixtures; dissolve a teaspoonful of soda
in a little water, and mix all together
carefully; roll into two small sheets to
fit the pan; bake in separate tins about
twentey minutes in a quick oven. This
is a very DELICIOUS short cake to be used
for the above fruit shortcake.
SCALLOPED LOBSTERS.
Mince the meat of a lobster; season
with salt and pepper, and mix with the
following sauce: Heat pint of milk;
stir two tablespeonfuls of flour into
one tablespoonful of butter until well
creamed, pour the hot milk onto this
gradually, stirring all the time. Cook
until thick as cream, add to this the
individual patty pans, lay little bits of
butter on top, and sprinkle cracker
dust on them. Bake until brown.
LUNCHEON EGGS.

AGAINST PUBLIC HANGINGs.
he Editor of the Register.

To the Editor of the Register
NEW MARTINSVILLE, w. Va, Janu-
airy GA bill is now pending before the
Legislature providing that criminals shall
be executed in the penitentiary of our
State. This bill by all means should be
enacted into law. Some time since a bill
CT this character was introduced, but
through the opposition of the penitentiary
officials Who did not want the job OF
hanging criminals, the bill failed to be-
come a law. There are many strong rea-
sons why the existing law should be
changed SO as to require criminals to be
executed in the penitentiary. Whatever
the reasons originally may have been for
public hangings. the reasons have ceased
to exist and public sentiment is strongly
against them. Public hangings are horri-
Bile and shocking. / happened to be in
Huntington the day Ben Harrison was
hung. and / never again want to witness
G hear of such scenes being enacted in
our State, the scenes then enacted being
a disgrace to our civilization. The SEN
tence of death being passed, the criminal
should at once be removed to the peni-
Tertiary, and when the fatal day arrives,
there executed between sunset and sun
rise, in the presence of a limited number
of persons TO be summoned by the proper
officials, as may be provided by law.
Gentlemen of the Legislature, pass the
bin herein referred to and let us have no
more of those horrible, shocking and DIS
graceful public hangings In West Vir-
ginia. Public hangings are species Of
barbarism not to he tolerated in this age.

AS there were twenty-five days of
business, the average daily stock sales
of January were nearly 966,260 shares
OF stock and $5,696,700 of bonds. This
degree of activity, extending over so

clearing house TRANSACTIONS have also
been on an unparalleled scale, for the
activity of speculation has swelled the
business of the banks.
