RECALL OF GENERAL I1AWTON.
No Reason for Surprise or Discour7
 agement, Says the London Times.

London, April 23.-The Times, com menting on General Otis recall of General Lawton from the Iaguna de Bay campaign and it's depressing eff feet on public opinion in the United States, says that this is altogether dis propontiCnate to the real importance of the movement, which, at it's worst, means nothing more than that Gen eral Lawton had to Go what British officers and the officers of every other nation operating in half civilized coun- tries have had to do again and again.
 Withdrawal undefeated, after a victorious march in the enemy's coun- try, does not afford a rational reason for surprise or. Encouragement if coclly considered. The language that General LAwton, truly or falsely, is said ito have employed has, perhaps, had more to do with the cold fit which appears to be prematurely attacking some Americans at home than con- sideration Cf military movements. We are not inclined to attribute much i'm portance to General Lawton's ex- ceedingly frank and apparently gratuitous assertion that it would take a hundred thousand msn 50 rAcify the islands.
 Generals who have had to return when they would have liked to ad- vance are not always the best judges of the obstacles they did not over come. Besides, soldiers are often in hurry American statesmen will doubtless proceed in the Philippines as we have done in similar lands; that is, start from one CT two centers, es- tablish a good government there, and gradually extend it by arms and ne- gotiations combined as the oppor- tunities occur The process is slow, but, pursued with firmness and 1nte.- ligence, it is sure.
 'DecidedIy the least agreeable fea- content of some of the American troops and the use to which this is put by cersain politicians ac home. More than likely it is exaggerated. bat if it exists the United States will have 10 find a remedy. All countries which have pursued a great foreign policy have had the same difficulty All who have solved it have done so in the same manner Foreign possessions cannot be held by citizen soldiers:

ANOTHER DESERTS GOMEZ
General Nodarse Joins inc Revolt
 Against inc Cuban Leader.

Havana, April 23.rGeneral Nodarse of the Cuban army, who has heretofore been very friendly toward General Gomez, has resigned as commander of the Cuban troops in the province of Havana. He announces that he sides with General Mayia Rodriguez against Gomez. His actiCn has caused great deal of surprise General Nodarse has been selected by General vana province.
 The chiefs of the Fifth army corps, which General Rodriguez commanded met at the Quinta de los .Molinos and informed General Gomez that they would obey him as the representative of the Cuban army. They gave him full power to act for them. The ac- tion of Generals Nodarse and Rodri- guez was severely criticized by them General Gomez thanked them for their expressions of good will and prom
 
 A correspondent was informed to- day by General Gomez's chief of staff that over 10000 Cuban soldiers who are actually in arms will not get a cent of the S3,OOO,OOO donated by the United States, because they joined the army after August IA.
 General Gomez will have another fn- terview with General Brooke. TfI former says that the utmoSt energy must be shown in suppressing brigan- dage. The appearance of the bandits is causing much harm to business, and has even affected the price of stocks. La Lucha says that the American government, which is responsible for order in the island, ought to at once organize a rural guard, disband the Cuban army and solve the important problems with which the country is confronted instead of maintaining it's present passive attitude.
 General Ludlow declines to with draw his order for the burning Of the Chinese quarter in Zanja street. The
  of the town, and the buildings must be destroyed as sanitary precaution. The Ninth Illinois regiment has sailed for Savannah. General Brooke has issued an order thac all soldiers who are mustered out, but who are willing to continue in the service, shall receive 20 cents per mile upon  returning to their brigades from the mustering-out points.
 Powell and Dubois, who were ar rested on the charge of being con- cerned in the robbery and murder of MT. Black, southern capitalist, have been dischaEg ged from custody, the charge against them, made by Major Wyckon having proved to be ground less. Four detectives have been dis charged by Chief of Police Menocal on account of nowelIs arrest.

EXPERT MAIL THIEVES CAUGHT
Got Pouches as They Were Throw
 From the E'rains

Nelw York, April 23.-Two expert mail thieves have been handed over by the police to the postofhce author ities. They are Albert E. Bell, alias Wallace, 29 years old, who says he comes from London, Canada, and Frank H. Smith, alias Kid Foster, 25 years old, of Chicago. Smith has been in prison in Philadelphia, FL mira, Jefferson City, Mo-, and Kansas City for various crimes, including rob- ping the mails. Bell was arrested in March, 1894, for trying to cash stolen draft for $1,2OO at the store CT a Maiden lane jeweler and served term at Elmira.
 The men were arrested Saturday. Smith went to the jeweiry store of Marcus & Co.,, 857 Broadway, and picked out a pair of diamond earrings valued at $275, offering in exchange draft for S425.31 on the First National bank at Waverly, N. Y.

REEDS RETIREMENT.
Many Reasons Why He Should Leave Congress.
He Is Now Threatened With Loss Of power by Which Greater Ob- siaCIes Would Be Put In His Path 10 inc White House.

Washington. April 23.-The report that MT. Reed intends to resign from congress before December, and 10 go into law business in New York, is generally credited here. MT. Reed sails for Europe with his family on Wednesday, and the fact that he has refused to discuss the matter publicly indicates that he may reserve the an nouncenent of his Intention until after his return from Europe. As has been said his offer in New York as sures him an income of S50000 year. There is nothing that his friends can see in the condition Of affairs prom isged for the next two years to induce him to want to remain in congress He has got all the glory there is to be had for him out of the speakership and there is practically nothing but the small salary left in it. This is too small for consideration. He knows too much about the situation to expect to receive any advancement toward the presidency through another term in the speakers chair, especially when he is threatened with a loss of power and influence in the position if he should retain it through the next congress. Nc secret has been made of the fact that q very tempting offer has been held open to him in New York for some time.
 It is likely that his delay in ar- nouncing his intention is in the in terest of Representative Sherman and for the purpose. of preventing a pro tracted spekership contest, running through the entire summer, and dis I1urbing the party ait a time whau other things demand the attention Of the administration and party leaders.
 It will be remembered that Mr. Sherman would not agree to remain in congress for ine purpose of oppos- ing MT Reed for the speakership, and it was announced that he would car- =tafnly retire from congress and accept the general appraiseIship to which he had been appointed It was not un- til after he had met Mr Reed at a din E-r With some of the leaders in New
  ination to leave congress and formally declined the appraisership appoint ment It was intimated about thas time that this action was the result of something said by MT. Reed after dinner. and that MT. Sherman had hopes of becoming speaker of the house without opposing MT. Reed.
 It is anticipated that thare will be lively contest for the speakership whenever MT. Reed publicly amour ces his fntention to retire from con gress, but tfNs man who has advance information will have a considerable advantage in the contest With the field open, there will probably be half @ dozen more candidates. Sherman of New York, Hopkins of Illinois, Hep burn of Iowa, Grosvenor of OEro and DalzeN of Pennsylvania Will probably be candidates. and it may be that Henderson Of Iowa, Cannon of Illinois and Payne of New York will make the contest for the delegations from their respective states against Hepburn, Hopkins and Sherman,

NO PROFIT IN LOW RATES.
Atlantic Transport Line Raises Price

New Years Day in China.

New Year is the national pay day in
China. All accounts must be squared
up at that time, and the man who can't
raise money enough to pay his debts
has to go into bankruptcy. The laws
are such that the creditor can enter
the debtors house and take what he
pleases if there is no settlement. To
prevent such action families club to-
gether and make all sorts of COM
promises to keep up the business
reputation of the clan. New Year is
great day for the pawnbrokers.
Their shops are crowded with people
who want to redeem their best clothes
before the New Year. There are
crowds, also, who want to pawn other
things in order to get money 20 pay
their debts. Pawnbrokers receive
high rates of interest, in which they
are protected by the Government -
London Mail.

To Make NIince Meat.

Half pound each of finely chopped
cooked lean beef and suet, two quarts
chopped apple, one cup each of fstoned
raisins, currants and sliced citron, of
sugar, molasses, strong coffee, one
teaspoon each of cinnamon and mace,
and one-half teaspoon each of allspice
and nutmeg. Dissolve glass of cur.
rant or other tart jelly in one pint OF
water, and mix all thoroughly to-
gether. Put in porcelain or agate
kettle and heat slowly. Reserve what
is needed for use and seal the rest in
cans.
When making the pies, strew raisins
over the top and little sugar. Bake
slowly one hour. Mince pies have one
advantage over others; they may be
baked dozen at time and be piled
in the refrigerator, heating when
wanted. But they are too rich for
frequent use.

An Expensive Experiment.

A South Side man who is a clerk in
one of the leading banks on this side
of the river, was in u communicative
mood last night. During conversa-
tion about various things he took on a
retrospective mir and said "There is
nothing like the faithful discharge of
ones duties, but it is sometimes an
experiment.
On being questioned rs to the cause
of the remark he replied: "Well, it
reminds me of an experience l had
while employed in prominent Fourth
avenue bank. 1 don't mind telling it
to you. The head bookkeeper was
character. in many ways. Method was
his hobby. He had way of doing
everything and he never varied from
the rules he set down. Exactness in
his accounts was q particular fad, and
he spared no pains in carrying bis
ideas into effect. One afternoon in
balancing our books it was found we
was short one cent. We searched and
searched, but when it came to the
usual time for going home that cent
was still missing.
"Do you think the head bookkeeper
would allow us to go? Not much.
Several of us had engagements we
wanted to fulfill, but it made no diff
ference. Supper time came and we
were no farther ahead than when we
started. Headed by the bookkeeper
We repaired to a neighboring restaur-
ant for supper and then returned to
work. After several hours the miss

ing for the discrepancy of one cent

pers to the amount of $780,

ponched Eggs with saucc.

Use deep frying-pan three-fourths
full of boiling water, to which has
been added tablespoonful of strong
vinegar and one-half teaspoonful- of
salt to each quart. If you wish them
nice, place small muffin rings in the
pan, and carefully slide an egg into
each, after having broken it into q
saucer, wise precaution at all times,
when one has to depend on the
grocer for eggs. Let the water SIM
mer for three minutes, when egg and
ring may be lifted out together by
slipping under perforated skinner.
Drop each one ON to slice of freshly
made and buttered toast, and remove
the ring.
For the sauce, melt tablespoonful
of butter aud -four till we'll blended;
pour on half a pint of hot milk, lit
tie at time, stirring constantly. Add
a spoonful of finely chopped parsley
(dried will answer), little salt and n
dash of celery salt. Boil up once and
pour over the toast which has been
laid on a platter. Garnish the edge
with parsley leaves. Try this; you
will be sure to like it.

But expose their wretched business,

Would you tolerate lion
Or tiger in your street,
Which would trample or devour
Any child 1t chanced to meet2
Would you send your youth and children
Out upon that street to roam,
Andyou calmly sit Indifferent
In the shelter Of your home?
No, you would go out with weapons,
Every man In town would go
And with clubs and stones and bullets,
Give the beast powerful blow;
There would be a great excitement,
You would boldly hunt him down,
And most certainly would kill him,
Or would drive him from tho town.
Friend, do you esteem lion
Or tiger greater harm
Than saloons along your sidewalks2
Does 1t cause you more nlarmp

And they're waiting, surely longing
To ensnaro your girl or boy.

The curse OF modern society which
strikes deep into every class Is alcoholism.
Alcoholism must not be confounded with
drunkenness. says DR.. Blenfalt, Belgian
scientist. Drunkenness always, existed
but alcoholism, that passion OF the masses
for alcohol and its sad consequences for the
Individual, the family and society at large,
was almost unknown hundred years ago.
How did this deadly passion take its rise2
The dominant cause resides In the simple
fact that formerly wine was dear and
spirits anything but plentiful, whereas
within the present century enormous
quantity OF alcohol have been dispensed
everywhere. The result has been perfect
flood OF distilled liquors all the world over
within reach Of the poorest. Very cheap at
first, alcohol rose in price owing to the
heavy duties placed upon 1t. Yet the con-
sumption did not diminish. Tho laborer,
however poor, still intoxlcates himself at
the cost Of bitter privatlon to those de-
pendent upon him. Man seeks In the use
Of splrltuous liquors that happy dream
state which brings oblivion to worry and
casts roseate hue over everything-not
that condition OF complete inebriation
which sinks man lower than the beast, but
the agreeable sensation experienced after
partaking OF even asmall quantity OF al
cohol, and which gives the Illusion OF un-
WOnteu strength ana energy. Inat is why
the laborer, exhausted by his work and
saddened by his present lot and gloomy
future, has recourse to alcohol as to a wiz
ard who, by a stroke OF his magic wand,
transports him beyond the borders OF sor-
did reality. He does not stop to think, poor
wretch, that the awakening will find him
worse of than before.
Nor is the working class alone affected
by alcoholism; intelligent and we'll edu-
Gated people, who ought to set good ex-
ample, are also among its victims. The gin
bottle accompanies the laborer, and the
bottle of Burgundy, Bordeaux, rum or
cognac Is 10 be found on many table. 1t
Is present at many ceremony, many
discussion and numberless inslpid conver-
sations. This friend which gradually steals
away health, reason and conscience is
made the confldant OF projects, hopes,
despair, Joy and sorrow. "Who cannot
cite among the friends at the bar, In the
army, In the civil service, and even In the
medical profession" ask DR.. Blenfait, OF
Brussels, "such and such a person whose
health is visibly undermined by abuse OF
liquor2" In DR.. Blenfait's opinion alcohol
is aphyslcal, moral intellectual and social
polson.-New York Herald.

Household Hints.

Pie crust will not be soggy if it is
brushed over with the white Of an
egg before the fruit is put in.
II shirt bosom or any other arti-
Gle has been scorched in ironing, lay
it where the bright sunshine will fall
directly upon it.
Clean decanters and other glass bot

Half cup of vinegar in the water
will make an old fowl cook nearly as

thread was fastened in your hand and
you can draw the thread with no dan
