He was followed by W. R. Pettiford,
President of the Alabama Penny Savings

his ideas upon the question of the future
of the colored race The speaker gave it
as his opinion that the colored people must
find their way to progress in the provision
of suitable employment for their children
outside OF the ranks Of the hewers of wood
and the drawers of water. This, he said
could only be effected by the accumula-
tion of wealth AID the investment of
money in industries, which should be
manipulated by the colored people An
explanation of the scope and plans OF
the bank of which he was an officer pre-
ceded an invitation to his audience to in
vest their savings in that institution. He
solicited subscriptions 10 the stock of the
bank and to 4 mine in which the bank was
interested and to a publication which pur-
ported TO explain the methods in vogue
Upon the conclusion OF his remarks his
proposition was attacked by c. E. Burke, a
member of the Vermont Avenue Church,
who denounced the project as a scheme to
extract money from foolish investors He
denounced the proposition in unmeasured
terms. Mr.. Pettiford found many defend
ers among the assembly who vouched for

sort that the Government has ever had
to deal with There are all the way

Lieutenant Jarvis the highest compliments
for his efficient work during this trying
summer at Nome in caring for the SILK
ana distressed miners and stamping out
the smallpox epidemic almost single hand
ed. when he could not communicate with
Washington for instructions Governor
Brady says that the Government is most
fortunate in having such man in Alaska
at this time. for he says Lieutenant Jarvis
knows the native Alaskans almost by name,
and also has made himself very valuable
to the suffering miners
Governor Brady pays particular atten-
ton to the generosity of the Alaskan In
dians, who have shared their supplies with
the stranded and dying miners, and says
that the United States Government should
do everything in its power to relieve their
people from their suffering. This loss of
supplies will mean a great deal during
the coming Writer if they are not taken
care OF. He says that the epidemic of
grip and pneumonia has caused more
deaths than any other disease.

by Russia that the occupation of Much
wang is for military purposes incidental to
the military steps for the security of the
Russian border provinces menaced by the
Chinese, and that as soon as order shall

BUTTER-MAK1NG HINTS,
II They Are Followed rs Closely as
Possible . Good Article Is Sure
to Result.

The first and foremost essential Is
absolute cleanliness, and this applies
to the COW stable, the milk pals,
milk-pans and all other utensils, the
milk room. etc. When the milk is
brought in. strain it as soon as pos
sible, filling each milk-pan half full.
If the milk-room is very near the
kitchen or other living rooms, place
newspapers over the pans to keep out
the dust. Do not break into the
cream if it can be avoided, and do not
let the milk go over three days with
out skimming
Put the cream in large stone Jar
and mix it over we'll each time fresh
cream is added. Keep the dish in
rather warm situation if possible: 60
degrees Fahrenheit is about right
Empty into the churn whenever the
jar is full and after the churn has be
come half filled churn the cream into
butter. In cold weather the process
may be quickened by setting the
churn and all in IL pan of hot wa
| ter.
| In churning, let the strokes be firm
and even. and do not leave Off until
| the butter has come. The butter
should be gathered in wooden bowl
and quickly worked over to dissolve
the salt and eliminate the butter
milk. Then it may stand for few
hours. when it should receive its final
working over. A few dipperfuls of
cold water should next be added to
help dissolve the salt and to get the
butter into shape for packing. The
main point OF mixing the butter is to
make it Of u good consistency for put
ting in the jars; it should not be
workcd over too long or the salt
grains will cut the globucs, thus
making it sticky. Butter should be
worked over at temperature of
about GO degrees. A higher tempera-
ture causes it to be soft while low
er one makes it "mealv"
In winter, if the butter is not OF a
good, rich color, do not hesitate to
put a teaspoonful or two of some
tirst-class butter coloring in with the
cream, before churning, as the liquid
is perfectly harmless and will add
much to the selling qualities Of the
butter. Many people will not buy UNI
less it is colored to just such shade
Fresh, clean dairy butter is some
thing that will always bring good
price, and anyone who follows the
pursuit will find that it pays 4! car
iie'l on intelligen,ly. Poor butter is
q drug in the market, bat anyone can
soon learn to produce first class but
