PACKED SNOW.

Washington Star: "TO those house
keepers who frequently make ice cream
and frozen custards, now is the time for
them to prepare to put up snow for future
USE" remarked a lady to a Star reporter.
For the past three weeks | have made
all the creams and custards I have used
with snow. and 1 have packed away
enough to last me a month or so, even if
we do not have any more SHOWS. Snow
is much easier to use in freezers than ice
and freezes much more rapidly, not re-
curing onc-fourth the quantity of salt.
My plan of putting up snow is to pack it
in barrels. There is no expense about it,
except the barrels, and most cellars nave
enough barrels to furnish the facilities
for securing all the snow that can be uset.
OF course there has been no occasion to
use barrels this week, for the snow was
plenty enough. The indications are also
that there viii De more SHOWS, but to be
on the safe side, l have a half dozen extra
barrels ready. If well packed the snow
will keep six weeks or more during the
weather we usually have in February and
March, but if there are to be no more
SHOWS and it only lasted a month that
much would be gained or saved in the
way of being able to say the expense of
ice. The barrels containing the stock of
snow should be placed in the yard, not in
the cellar, md, if possible, on the shady
side of the yard and as near the fence as
possible, SO as to cut off wind drafts that
carry with them the hot air. There should
be tops on them. and a couple of days
after the first filling, when they have
settled down., they should be repaCked
and pounded down. In time the snow be-
comes almost solid and lasts almost as
long as q piece of ice of the same size.
The advantage in its favor is that it prac-
tically costs nothing, gives the children
some fun in packing it away, cleans up
the yard to the extent of getting rid Of
that much snow and freezes your foods
quicker than ice. besides saving the salt.
Is it a Yankee trick? Oh, yes, l learned
it up in Vermont, but a lot of good things
are learned up there"

DR.. Koch will leave Berlin within the
next two weeks, accompanied by eminent
~cientis from various parts of Europe
n America. The party will first go to
the southern part of Europe, where the
malarial sections, especially those or
Italy and Greece, will be thoroughly eX-
amined. For many months he has been
making a study of these parts of Europe
and he has already determined the fact
that the dreaded Roman and Campagna
fevers are identical in cause and general
character with those of east Africa. The
expedition will then proceed to Africa,
and the next two years will be spent in
making an ~hauStiv study of malarla
at the deadliest fever districts.
No expedition that has LETT Europe in
many years has excited as much interest
as the departure of this company of SCI
entists upon their voyage to the east, for
those who have made a careful study of
the experiments of DR.. Koch are conf
dent that he will succeed in his under
taking. and that the world is on the eve
of a decisive victory over this whole
group of maladies which have been the
curse Of SO many portions of the globe.
THE DOCTOR ON THE STAFF.
Daily inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1881-1901, 1899-04-15

DR.. Robert Koch. the eminent German
bacteriologist, is now preparing to under
take another expedition to the tropics
where he will continue his Investigations
of the malarial fevers. In 1888 DR.. Koch,
who is at the head of the German cholera
commission, made his first visit to Egypt,
and the result of his experiments and m
designations at that time were so salts
factory in their nature that he mas peen
repeatedly urged to conclude his study OF
these ills of humanity.
Last year he visited the German east
African coast, and now he has decided to
go once more to Egypt and INDIA. TO
aid him in the carrying out of his lnIestl-
cations into the nature and origin OF
these diseases, the German reichstag has
made an appropriation of $4,000 marks.
and the medical profession of the Worlo
is confident that the publication of the
result of his studies will be of incalcu-
liable benefit to humanity.
1t is probable that no better man could
be found to carry out such a line OF m
vestigation. For many years he has been
identified with ARCHAEOLOGICAL studies,
and his discoveries in this branch OF re-
search have made him famous in every
part of the world. His discovery of the
germ of consumption has done much 10

ria is due to a germ that can be con-
quered when it is properly understood IS
accepted without question by the medical
profession.
While DR.. Koch has not completed his
investigations. he has accomplished
enough to enable him to enlighten the
world as to the nature of the eXpeTl-
ments he has made and the result that
he hopes to attain. One of the most i'm
portant of the facts that he has estab-
lished is that the m9larial fcvers are
often communicated to man by the mos
quito. who. gathering the poison in the
swamps. with a single thrust of its probe
iniects it into the veins Of it's victim.
DR.. Koch was led to these investiga-
tons by his study of the Texas fever IN
cattle. This disease. he found was
transferred from herd to herd through
the agency Of a parasite or tick that was
common in that part of the country. Ma
larial fever in man and Texas fever IN
cattle have many points in similarity,
and it was not long before he arrived at
the conclusion that the mosquito was
performing tle same infection upon hu-
man beings as did the ticks on the cattle
of Texas. From that time his study or
the subject has been most thorough and
the result has been that there is no fur
Their doubt of the correctness of his the
DRY. He has shown that where there
We're no mosquitoes malaria was un-
known. and that, on the other hand,

demonstrated that ii is possible to cure
the disease quickly and easily by arrest

operate quickly for the good OF the pa
tent, he does not hesitate to express the
opinion that the indiscriminate use of
this drug as a prophylactic in malarial
countries is ATTENDED with great danger,
and, in many cases. is the direct cause
of the pernicious 'black water" fever,
one of the most v~irulent forms of mala-
rial disease.
The very common practice of persons
going from temperate to tropical coun-
tries of saturating their systems with
quinine, taken III irregular and often eX-
ccssivc doses. is condemned most vigor-
ously. In the first place such a method
OF treatment seriously weakens the ac-
ton of the heart, and second. when the
system become used to the drug 1t fails
to respond to the quinine treatment
when it is necessary as a remedy N case
of actual sickness.
In other words, the efficiency of the
| drug having been exhausted as a pre-
v~entive, ii has no longer any important
value as a remedy, and his experience
has shown that persons debilitated by the
excessive use of quinine may take mala-
| rial fever and die of it as quickly, if not
more easily than anyone else. He as
scrts that he has demonstrated beyond
the possibility of question that the in
creased death rate in certain portions of
west Africa, where tbs conditions of liv-
ing have been greatly improved during
the past ten years. is due largely to the
increased and ndiscriminate use of qul-
nine, n fact that IS due to its greater
c]hcapness and the ease with which it can
be obtained.
In some of his results, however. Dr..
Koch does not obtain the support of all
physicians. as for instance, in the
method of treatment suggested. In his
experiments he has found that arsenic
has been 4 more successful remedy than
quinine, but his advocacy of the arscnl1
treatment has aroused great opposition
in all part of the country, with the eX-
ception of Germany, where the prefer
cnce for the use of this drug has long
: been a REGULARITY of that school Of medi-
. cine.
DR.. Koch insists upon the correctness
Of his method of treatment, however,
and adds that upon his return from his
next expedition he will be able to present
evidence that will compel even his most
vigorous opponents. the physicians of the
United States, to admit that he was right
in his assertions.
) Another interesting fact discovered by
Or. Koch is that women stand exposure
to a malarial climate far better than
men. During the past four years there
has been an appalling mortality on the
gold coast. but scarcely a death was re-
ported among the Women, although every
kind of man was ~dying-men new to the
tropics, men born in them, men who had
been accustomed to them for years, even
men who had battled with the ravages
of the worst part of west Africa for a de-
Cade. On the occasion Of his next visit
to Africa DR.. Koch will make this dis

Kuehne Beveridge's

When they first proposed a monument

Eleven months after Miss Beveridge OBJ

HIGH FREIGHT RATE FOR COAL. A Likelihood of a Coal Fomine in New
 England.

Philadelphia, Nov. 14.-The unusual scarcity of coal in the New England states and the fact that the Augusta Insane asylum, charitable institution supported by the state of Maine, is all most entirely out of fuel and it's inmates are iii danger of freezing unless a fresh supply can be had soon, are responsible for the charter of the schooner E. c. Allen, now here, to load 775 tons of fuel for Augusta at s3.50 ton, the highest freight paid out of Philadelphia to a port in Maine for forty years
 So far as is known, the late rate auot- ed to Augusta was between ninety cents and dollar a ton. Philadelphia coal shippers cannot begin to fill the orders that are pouring in from the New Eng land states, and in the opinion of deal- CTS it looks very much as though that section of the country is about to ex- perience a coal famine that will mean much suffering and heavy losses in the manufacturing district. Coal Is scarce at tidewater points, and even upon its arrival at seaport towns the greatest difficulty is being experienced in getting bottoms to carry it forward to the points required.

WATER SCARCE IN TWISTED. Many Houses Without Water-Situa- ti0n SerioMs-A Special M eeting.

Winsted, Conn, Nov 14.-A threaten ed water famine has occasioned SO much alarm here that the board of warden and burgesses held special meeting last night to consider the sit- uation. Crystal lake, which Is the source of Winsted's water supply has become so low that 1t has been found necessary to have recourse to High land lake. The warden and burgesses decided last night to ask number of manufacturers nearest the reservoir not to draw any water from that source for while longer. There are over 200 houses on the hills that are entirely without water as the pressure is not great enough to send it to that elevation and they are practically with out fire protection. A number of the manufacturers have been obliged to re- sort to steam power while others are running short time All the factories are rushed with orders at the present time and the situation is exceedingly critical. An ex-water commissioner stated to-day that if there was not suf- ficient rain before the cold weather sets in so as to be observable in the reservoir that the town would be with out water all winter.

SEATS FOR YA1E-HARvARD GAME.
Statement Regarding Their Disposition
 by Professor HOIIie.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 14.--The Har- yard Crimson will print tomorrow statement by Prof. Hollis, relative to the sale of seats to the Yale game. He says: "The total number of tickets printed for the game was BETA, all of which were sold. allotted as follows: To the plaeyrs, coaches, etc., 3,S60; to the Harvard club of New York, 704; Yale Football association, 37O1; to season ticket holders, 7,835; to graduates. .'and undergraduates, not season ticket hold CTS, 12,334; to members of the press, 2s4; seats taken out for exits, not sold, 69S; tickets remaining on band .Novem- Der IA, 415S, making a total of 33,774. The first three items contained S,265 of the best tickets, adding the 1885 tickets sold to season ticket holders, makes 16100 who wanted to sit inside the goal line. Only about 140O0 seats could be provided for these persons, therefore many of them must be disappointed. The reason for this disappointment Is the increased sale of season tickets, some 4,000 more being taken this year than ever before. This must, of course, be restricted in the future.

HENDHICK's FINE PLA YING.
New Haven Man Surprises Billiard Ex-
 perts in New York.

New York, Nov. 14-After lapse of four days the amateur handicap billiard
 tournament under the auspices of the Amateur Athletic union was continued tonight at Schaefer's billiard academy John A. Hendrick of New Haven and Dr. W. G. Douglas of the New York A. C., both of them scratch men, played the full 250 points. Hendrick had lost all three of his first games and was out of the race, and it was surprise to all when he showed remarkable speed to- night, winning the game by more than double Douglas score and making an average of 5-35 and a run of forty-s six points, the best average and run of the tournament so far. In the last eight innings Hendrick put in seven double figure runs and piled up just half of his buttons, his average for these in- nings being over fifteen. All through the game, but more particularly in these last innings, the Connecticut man dis played unexpected skill and nursing ability, as well as accuracy in open table play. Douglas was never in the hunt, and his defeat spells his chances. Douglas average was 1885 and his best runs il, g, 9, g and 8. Besides his top run of 46 Hendrick also made breaks of 21, IS and 17.

Three Hours Spent in Futile Attempt to
 Agree on First Jurymmn

New York, Nov. 14.-Roland B. Moli-
 neux was put on trial for his life to-day
 in the court of general sessions before
 Recorder Golf, charged with the death
 of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams on Decem-
 Der 2S, 1898 No case more famous or
 promising more startling disclosures
 has ever been tried in New York city
 Mrs. Adams died after swallowing what
 was believed to be a headache powder that had been sent through the mails in a silver match-holder as a Christi mas present to Harry Cornish, physical director of the Knickerbocker Athletic club, and by him administered to Mrs. Adams. with whom he resided A chemical analysis developed the fact that the powder contained a deadly compound of cyanide of mercury The investigation which followed resulted in developing that Henry c. Barnett, an- other prominent member of the Knick- erbocker Athletic club, who had recent ly died, had received similar powder, and that it contained cyanide of mercu- ry also.
 Roland B. Moineux was among the witnesses put on the stand at the coro- ner's inquest, at which the testimony went to show that Mollneux bore enmi- ty toward both Cornish and Barnett. He was arrested after considerable de- lay and has been In the Tombs ever since. Three grand juries considered his case, and the third brought in the present indictment against him. Both sides have fought bitterly ever since Molineux arrest, and to-day, after sev- eral hours were occupied in an attempt to select a jury, not one man had been found suitable to occupy chair in the jury box. When the case was called up this morning Barlow s. Weeks, counsel for Molineux, made final and dezper- ate effort to have 1t transferred to the supreme court, but the recorder ordered the trial to proceed. Mr. Weeks also made a lengthy argument on a motion to dismiss the indictment, but Record CT Golf several times told him that his talk was trivial and that he was vast ing words.

Manila, Nov. 14-S D. m.-The Thirty third infantry, in one of the sharpest two hours engagements Of the war, with an equal force of insurgents, i've miles from San Fabian, Saturday, lost one officer and six men killed and had one officer and twelve men wounded. The Americans captured twenty-nine Filpinos and a hundred rifles and found eighty-on one insurgent dead lying in the trenches and rice fields. Many more Filpinos doubtless were killed or wounded.

FIRE ON HOSPITAL AND MEN'S
 LARGER AT WATERING.
Warnings from Col. Badem-PoweIl Do No Good-Gen. Cronje Declares Geneva Flag Over Several Buildings Ira Same Town.


 London, Nov 15. 4:30 a. m.-There is no additional news regarding the pro- sress of hostilities in South Africa this morning except dispatch from Ma feking forwarded by a runner dated October 31, which says that during the afternoon General Cronje, the Boer commander sent an envoy to Colonel Baden-Powell, under flag of truce, to declare that he did not consider the Geneva convention authorized the fly ing of the Red Cross society flag from several buildings at once in the town and that, In his opinion, the employ ment of natives against whites and the use of dynamite mines were both op- posed to the rules of war.
 Colonel Baden-Powell replied that the Geneva convention did not stipulate permissible, and that the Boers were only required to respect the convent, the hospital and the women's laager, all of which were beyond the town linn its. The British commander also point ed out that mines were recognized ad- juncts of civilized warfare and that the defenses of Pretoria were extensively mined Moreover, he reminded General Cronje that the Beers had fired on na- tives, burned their kraals, raided their cattle and that the natives only defend- ed their lives and property.
 Despite three warnings from Colonel Baden Powell the Boers continued de- liberately to shell the hospital and the women's laager. The sending of the Boer envoy was regarded, the dispatch says, as mere pretext for penetrating the British lines at Mafeklng. Accord ing to the latest reports the town is confident of it's ability to hold out until the end of the campaign.
 So far ae Kimberly Is concerned the mental condition of the British there may be judged from the fact that three weddings have taken place since the seize began, the latest having been eel ebrated on November S.
