deFolng her time mostly to her studies in
her fathers library. Until the destruction

Eggs or En- ba lmel Beef

From the Burlington, Vt, Free Press
Mrs. BloggS ordered fresh eggs" of
her grocer. About half of them proved
TO De bad. Some of the boiled, when
broken, nearly drove her guests from
the table. Others We're uncomfortable in
the Kitchen. Mrs. Bloggs called her
grocer 10 account, and he called for a
court OF inquiry. Thu court visited his
estapllshment, looked at a number of
broke several which the grocer handed
TO them, and found them to be good
They also received the testimony of
several persons, who averred that they
had had good eggs Of that grocer. The
grocer considered himself and his eggs
indicated. And yet, strange to say
Mrs. Bloggs is not convinced that the
eggs she complained of were good and
she has changed her grocer.

IT IS ALMOST FINISHED
The Beef Investigation Is Nearing
Its End.
HAS NO MORE WITNESSES
Miles VIII Not Be Called Unless He So
Requests-Additional Testimony
He Has Suggested Will

Washington, April 14.-The Wade
court of inquiry has decided to ex-
anime no more witnesses after the
close of this week unless in exceptional
cases, where men expected were una
voidably delayed
General Miles will not be called ex-
cept upon his own request. The court
will not hear all the additional wit

spector General Breckenridge The 200
additional reports of officers will be re-
celved except in cases when made by
offlcers who have already testified or
whose reports have been read, and eX-
ceptlng also reports of officers who were
not on duty at Santiago or in Porto
Rico
Dr. G. P. Adams, surgeon of the ID
New Jersey regiment, was the first
witness of the day. He and other wit
nesses following We're called to testify
concerning the condition of affairs II,
that regiment complained Of by DR.
Currie. DR.. Adams said that he did not
in any case attribute the sickness of
the troops attacked to government ra-
tons. He heard nothing from DR., Cur
RE OF his chemical tests with the fresh
beef. He had been told of the doctors
ooSei NdtiuHS concerning the effects of
the butchers knife blade in dscolor-
ing meat, but the investigation had fall
ed to corroborate his statement.
DR.. Charles r. Blundel, assistant
surgeon of the I'd New Jersey, agreed
with DR.. Adams that no sickness had
been caused by the government food.
nor had he ever heard of any chemical
tests by DR.. Currie until his return
home. Furthermore, he said that he
had charge of the sick Of the regi-
ment while the rifle range was in
course of construction, and there was
no such sickness in the detachment as
had been testified to. He did not think
the men could have been SO sick as rep
resented without his knowledge DR..
Blundell said he had found the meat
bad in some instances, but as a rule
it was wholesome.
The court held a session tonight,
which was devoted to the reading of
reports of officers who served in the
Cuban campaign.
The reports are practically unani-
nous in condemning the canned beef
as unfit for an army ration, some of the
structures upon it being couched in en-
phatic terms. Capt. j. e. Huston of
the goth infantry reported he had heard
canned roast beef compared ITO 1.-The

Regarding the refrigerated beef, the
reports were in measure conflicting.

MAKING OF ,AeULaUE IN MEXICO.
Manufacture of the National Drink an
Enormous Industry.

Enormous Industry.
From the New York Times
The making of Dulque, the national
drink is an enormous Industry in Mexi-
CO. The natives look upon it as an essen
tial part of their diet, and it's consump-
ton is universal among all classes of
people. The intoxication produced by
puique IS thorough and apparently salts
factory in all essentials, if one can Judge
by the slumbering forms often seen in the
cutters adjacent to the pulquerias. or
pulque shops in the City of Mexico as the
night grows old.
Pulque is made from the maguey spe-
cies of century plant. The poems gather
the sap from the plant by a rough siphon
and empty it into a pigskin. 1t IS passed
through simle process of fermentation
and in "a hours it is fit for use as a bever-
age. When fermented it has the appear
ance of iced buttermlk, which it some
what resembles in taste though to one
unaccustomed to it's flavor it is mawkish
and repugnant. This distaste soon wears
off and liking for the drink is not long
in asserting itself.
1t is said to be a sovereign remedy for
kidney affections, and there is a saying
that II man from the north who has
spent nearly his money in trying to cure
kidney trouble has enough left to carry
MN uo"n TO MEXICO ana Will drink pulque
for two months he will be cured
A good maguey field is profitable piece
of property. Each well-developed plant
will yield from 100 to $50 gallons of sap.
The sap is gathered daily for several
weeks before it ceases to flow. Mexico
City alone consumes 100000 pints of pulque
a day, besides large quantities of mescal
and tequila. These are very Intoxicating
spirits obtained by distillation from the
heart and root of the maguey. Although
to the ordinary person to drink them is
like swallowing a fiery furnace, to the
palate of the peon they are as grateful
as would be the softest of ''old Scotch" to
a northerner

Sneclal Dispatch to the standard.
New Haven, Conn, April 14.-It was
announced ip financial circles in this
city to-day that Rutherford B. Trow-
bridge had made over a million dol
lars in cash by a transaction in Par
rot mining stock, in which a large
deal was contaminated recently. Trow-
bridge controlled about 10000 shares of
stock of the Parrot mine in Montana,
some of which he bought at $40 per
share or whereabouts several years ago
and the larger portion of which came
to his wife as a gift from her father,
Franklin Farrell of Ansonia. Conn.
the largest owner of the stock. The
stock has been rising the past year and
overtures We're made to Farrell to sell
his interest. After much negotiation
the transfer was agreed to and the
deal effected through Boston house
at from 45 to IS a share. Trowbridge
sold his and Mrs. Trowbridge's hold
ings with the rest and received over
81 900, 900 cash in return.

Nov. 4, 1897. Another item of SIS, 352. 10 he
round in the regularb book dated May "a
1884, and found the same item in the
red book dated Oct. 3d. 1894 He stat
ed that there were other entries in the
red book which explained transa ctions
in the regular book, but the two in
stances specified were the only ones
IN which he had reached accurate con-
cluslons as to their nature and pur-
pose.
Mr.. Goldsmith said that when he first
opened the red book he did not consid-
er II a DOCK OF the bank, but when he
compared the calculations entered on
it's pages with transactions in the other
books he was forced to consider it a
BOOK of the bank. He explained this
ny saying that prior to 1891 calculations
such as appeared in the red book were
regularly entered in the ledger, but
since then the red book had been sub
stituted and fulfilled and fixed the
same results,
Dur1ng the cross-examination of this
witness, which was conducted by Mr..
ures and words on that page which
was missing. The defense repeatedly
endeavored to get from him the state
ment that there might have been fig
ures and words on that page. which
would clearly explain the entries on the
other pages and that the book as it
now stands is unreliable This was
ruled out, following an objection by the
district attorney. This would seem to
indicate that when the final effort to
present the book in evidence comes to-
morrow the defense will make another de-
termined opposition to it on that
ground. even if the court should decide
that with relation to the transactions
testified to it, it is a book of the bank
During all the examination touching
on the books. with the exception of the
two items mentioned, no intimation of
the amounts or names was allowed to
reach the jury. The prosecution all
along, however, has alleged that the
book will show that Cashier Hopkins
computed interest on state funds and
deposited the money to Senator Quay's
credit

THE RED BOOK ADMITTED
The Quay Prosecution Wins q
Big Victory.
IT'S A BOOK OF THE BANK
So Decided by the Court After Keen and
Brilliant Argument on Both Sides
of the Case-Expert Testi-
mony Presented.

Philadelphia, April 14.-Keen and bril-
torney Rothermel on one side and
Messrs. Watson, Shapley and Shields
on the other upon the admission of
testimony which may go a long way
to establish the alleged guilt Of ex-
United States Senator Quay was the
feature Of to-days trial, and it Gull
minated in decided victory for the
prosecution.
The red book found in Cashier Hop
kins' desk after his suicide and upon
the admission of which the common
wealth SO largely rests it's case, was
the shaft the district attorney aimed
at the defense. To pave the way for
the final effort to introduce the book
itself he succeeded, after frequent
clashes with opposing counsel some
times by letter and personally, in pre-
senting expert testimony to prove that
the book was necessarily book of the
bank. as accounts in the books ad-
mitted under the courts ruling would
be made Ineligible by the red book
Before starting his examination Mr..
Rothermel read to the court a state
ment Of what he intended to prove. The
expert. ne said, had made thorough
examination of all the books in the
case. He found that previous to April
30, 1891, the Peoples bank paid interest
on the state deposits to the state treas
urer and that records Of such payments
We're kept in a regular way on the
books of the bank
After April 30. 1891 when Mr.. Hop
kins appeared on the scene, a new sys-
tenn was adopted. This entailed the ad-
diton of another book---now known
as the red book-to the books hereto
fore kept by the bank.
Meyer Goldsmith, an expert account
ant, was the witness upon which the
commonwealth depended to accomplish
its contention. During the whole
course of the experts examination OBJ
lection after objection was made by
the defense and as frequently overruled
by Judge Biddle, while the district at
torney in logical sequence drew from
the witness his conclusions as to the
book based upon a comparison of what
was written on it's pages with what ap-
peared in the other books. Two ac-
counts out of upward of 1000 in the
regular books were incomplete and in
accurate unless explained by entries
in the red book. One was an item of
S1,519 entered in the individual ledger
to the credit of the person who receiv-
ed it. The witness was not permitted
to designate the persons name. He
found this item on the stub of the
cashiers check book, but what it rep
resented he could not say until he had
examined the calculations in the red
book Here he found the amount en-
tered and the indications that it had
been paid by the cashiers check on

government has now officially declared
ITO me, through its ambassador, that it
accepted the proposals of Germany re-
gardlng the mode of operation and
functions of the commission. whose
functions and powers may be summed
| up as follows:
The commission appointed by the
three signatory powers to the Samoa
act will take over the provisional gov
eminent of the islands. To this end
the commission will exercise the high
est powers. All other official person
ages will have to obey the orders of
the commissioners and the three powers
Will instruct their naval representa-
tives to lend them their support. No
measure taken by the commissioners in
conformity with the foregoing official
powers would be legal unless three COM
missioners assent thereto
"One of the tasks of the commission
will be to consider what provisions it
regards as necessary for the future
government of the country or the modi-
fication of the Berlin act and report
to the government the views at which
it finally arrives.
We hope the commission will sue
coed in effecting a settlement just fair
and acceptable to all parties. We will
only assent to such decisions as do not
portant interests of Germans in Samoa.
"A portion Of the foreign press has
called attention to the fact that the
value of Samoa is not in proportion to
the Importance gained in International
politics and relations. We. too. believe
that it will be in the highest degree
reprehensible if war We're kindled by
the three great civilized Christian ma
tons on account of a group of islands
in the remote South sea, inhabited by
90, 900 savages. among whom live scarce
~ 800 Europeans, with total trade of
hardly 5000. 900 marks.
II am convinced of and advised that
it should not be forgotten that in for
eign policy it is of the first importance
not to allow ones right judgment to be
prejudiced, but to appraise every ques-
ton according to it's real importance
The minister of foreign affairs added
We demand in Samoa no more than
what belongs to us by treaty. But we
cannot and will not allow these treaty
rights of ours to be curtailed'

Why Burning Wood CrackIes.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Wood crackles when it is ignited be-
cause the air expanded by the heat
forces its way through the pores of the
wood with cracking noise. Green
wood makes less swapping than dry
because the pores contain less air, be-
ing filled with sap and moisture, which
eXtinsuish the flame, whereas the
pores OF dry wood are filed with air.
