good results follow. Beef pucks are
an exceptionally good and cheap meat
food. They are much cheaper than
bone. We should feed milk and beef
pluck and would consider that we were
getting our animal food very cheap.
You can feed the plucks to best adj
vantage by varying the manner of pre-
pairing. Probably they will be best
when cooked. The best wayto prepare
plucks to have them keep sweet will
be tn run them through meat cutter
or sausage machine and then boil the
minced meat. Skim off all the fat and
strain the soup after cooking meat
thoroughly. Use the liquor for mixing
mash. The cooked meat. after being
well drained, should be well dried IN n

Promoted and Retired.

Washington, Oct. l9.-The president has
ordered the promotion to the grade of
brigadier general in the regular army of
the following colonies:
Colonel Frank, First artillery.
Colonel Pennington, Second artillery.
Colonel Carpenter, Fifth cavalry.
Colonel Ovenshine, Twenty third in
fantry.
Colonel Burke, Seventeenth infantry.
These officers are to be placed on the re-
tied list at intervals Of one day each.
The war department was able to make
these changes owing to the retirement of
General Shafter from the regular army.
After they shall have all been appointed
and retired in order, one vacancy will be
left in the grade OF brigadier general in
the regular army and it is the common
impression that this place will be given
to either LawtOn or Macarthur.

Columbia Won Again.

New York, Oct. lS.-What promised to
be a splendid days sport in the contest for
Americas cup between Shamrock and Co.
lumbia brought disappointment to the
owners OF the sloOps and the public gener-
ally. Within hall an hour after the start,
which was a good one, Sir Thomas Lipton's
yacht was disabled by the breaking OF
her topmast and was obliged TO give up
the race, while the Columbia, under the
rules governing the contests for the inter.
national trophy, proceeded to sail over
the course alone.
At the time of the accident the cup de.
fender was leading the challenger by sew.
eral boat lengths. For about a quarter OF
an hour after the start the Shamrock held
the lead, but made no gain. Then the de-
fender oyerhauled and passed her, and
continued to gain until the catastrophe
occurred that put the Shamrock out of
the race.
When the accident occurred that dashed
LiptOn's hopes, the Shamrock was stand.
ing OIL to sea on the port tack, it being
the longest OF the two boards she had TO
take to windward after crossing the start
ing line. The wind was blowing about II
miles an hour from east-by-south, and
there was considerable lump on the sea.
There was nothing else lett for the
Shamrock to do but to turn around and
start for home, amid few cheers from
excursion boats telling of sympathy. The
Columbia finished almost two hours with
in the time limit, demonstrating that the
race would have been fine one if there
had been a contest between the two boats.
The cup committee announces that there
will be no race Wednesday and the Sham
rock is to be remeasured tomorrow. The
disabled boat has gone to Erie Basin to
have her new topmast set up.
The regatta committee has made no de-
cision as to when the next race will occur

Fears for Iowa Boys.

Victoria, Oct. 29.-The steamer En-
press of Japan of India, which has reached
here from Japan, has completed the rough
est trip of her 43 voyages. The second
day out from Yokohama she encountered
a typhoon which smashed all tele-
graphic communication between the
engine room and the bridge and destroyed
some of the boats. The storm continued
undated one day and a night.
Fears are expressed by the officers for
the transport steamer Senator, carrying
home the Fifty-frst Iowa regiment. She
left Yokohama for San Francisco eight
hours before the Empress, and having
large upper works, would fare badly in
the storm.
