GEN. MILES INTERVIEWED
Would Like to Have Gone to China
and Philippines.

New York, Aug. 9.-Lieutenant Gen.
Miles admitted to a reporter yesterday
that it had been his personal wish to
be sent to China and the Philippines
to take a general view of the situation,
but said he did not presume to under
stand why his advice had been rejected.
General Miles, discussing the Chinese
situation, said he regarded it as very
serious. "China," he said, sis a bad
country for troops to move through.
Serious obstacles must be encountered
in forwarding munitions of war and
general supplies. 1t is well known
that the Chinese government has been
storing munitions of war and making
preparations for several years."

The recent reign OF mob rule and
lawlessness In New Orleans was the
outgrowth Of the murder Of ssCapt Day
and Patrolman Lamb by q negro. The
mob, which assembled in the French
market, was composed Of several
Thousand armed men, who attacked.
and beat all negroes who appeared In

of the Italians about nine years ago
has New Orleans witnessed the scenes
of excitement that have been seen
there lately. s.z. 553s 4 y
The infuriated mob, composed
largely Of the hood lums of the city,
took possession OF the streets early
in the evening. The police depart
ment was unable to dispense the riot
ers and before they scattered of their
own accord early next morning one
negro had been killed, six others ia
tally injured and a score Of persons,
both white and black, male and fe-
male, had received more or less seri-
GUS injuries as result Of the riot.
After the first demonstration on the
streets had subsidized all of the mem

many others bent upon the murder Of
negroes, assembled at Lee circle and

Of the following incident, which came
under his observation: Rover, a large,
shaggy dog was the occupant Of q
well-kept kennel, and was frequently
accompanied by duck. which finally
gave supreme test to his friendship
by laying an even dozen eggs in cor
ner of his kennel. Rover did not re-
sent the encroachment but, on the con-
trary, seemed to feel the responsibility
of guardianship, and at night lay with
his nose a little closer to the door Of
the kennel. while the duck sat On the,

season eight kings appeared, and

had dug a wood chuck out of his hole

A BUSINESS SECRET.
How the Best Sauerlraut Is Made IL
Magdeburg.

Magdeburg.
The best German sauerkraut is made
in Magdeburg, but when one attempts
to ascertain how it is made he en-
counters an insuperable obstacle-
business secrets. The manufacturer
politely replies to all inquiries: "Mv
recipe is, what makes my business
profitable. If I gave it to you, you
could make the same sauerkraut. The
fame of Magdeburg would thus be
Mmmed, and what would become OF
the orders which mean so much to
me?' The process OF manufacture
emitting business secrets, is about as
follows: Several heads of white cab
bage, a fresh as possible, are cut into
fine, long shreds. They are placed in
layers in barrels, or kegs, and salt
strewed over each layer, using one
half a pound of salt for each twenty
five; cabbages. The mass is pressed
down with clean feet, wooden shoes,
or a heavy stamper. A cover is put on
the barrel and upon this a heavy stone.
This presses the sauerkrait more and
and conserves It better. The sauer-
kraut must then be allowed to fer
ment in a cellar for from three to
eight days, according to the tempera-
tpre of the room. The barrel then is
closed tightly and kept in cool place
preferably in cellar. Fancy grades

regard for his spiritual and physical

there are few, indeed, who cannot at
ford such an inexpensive trifle-goes
to hill and flies his kite the whole

generally, Of course, in the rural dis

come entangled and, the very heavens
would be darkened with such a col
lection of paper and string as never

by man who had strangely real

to him that some calamity would be-
fall his house on certain day. Wish
ing to avoid this unknown but inev-
liable disaster, he took his family to
neigh boring hill top and amused the
children by flying a kite. When he re-
turned home that night he found, that
his house had literally fallen to the
ground, thus killing all the dogs and
pigs that had been left at home to
keep house. That set the fashion, and
since then whenever the anniversary
of that day comes round other fam
lilies, remem bering the providential es-
cape of their countrymen, fly their
kites from the hills in the belief that
as the paper toys ascend they will car
ry off the evil spirits that might other
