Daughter of the Utah Man Not Ostra.
cized by the Congres-s
siOnal Set.

Miss Adah Roberts, daughter Of 1.-THE
member from Utah." as her father was
wont to style himself, has not been os-
tracized by the congressional set. Quite
the reverse, she has received much at,
tention and admiration for her BRIGHT
intellect and scintillating wit. At the
large reception given by the wives and
daughters of the members who make
their homes at the Metropolitan hotel
Miss Roberts was asked to receive with
them. Sh was dressed in soft yellow
crepe that chung to her figure and
swept in undulating folds about her
feet. Pink roses and creamy lace were
the only ornaments to set off her bru-
nette beauty. She was generally ad-
mired.
The Chinese minister at once became
her most enthusiastic friend. In spak-
ing of him she grew reminiscent and
spoke of the picturesque Chinese garden

Never once has Miss Roberts sought
to attract attention during her fathers

KOCH INVESTIGATES MALARIA
tirpation of Diseas,, Is
Possible.

Prof. Robert Koch, the Berlin bacte-
biologist, who has been conducting sci
entific Investigations in German COL
onies for year past, has arrived at
Hong-Kong on his way home. He an
nounced to physicians there that he
had discovered means of preventing
the spread of malaria in malarial dis
tricts, and even stamping out the dis
ease itself His experiments in this
line were conducted in New Guinea,
where large number of natives die
yearly of malaria.
DR.. Koch's treatment consists in Civ
ing the patient medicine he has dis
covered, the chief ingredient of which
is quinine. This is for both curative
and preventive purposes. He also
found it necessary to expel the malari
al parasites as well, chief among which
were mosquitoes. To accomplish this
most stringent efforts were necessary
but reports received here do not give
details as to how it was accomplished
DR.. Kock stated, however. that in hi:
opinion total extirpation of malaria il
possible.
By adoption of his methods DIR. Kocl
believes that every nlaiarial distric
may be absolutely purged of malaria
In temperate climates it will be muc
easier than in tropical. His investiga
tons will be completed in his Berli
laboratory.

SHOWS DECREASE.
Failing on Reported In the Annual
Post Office Deficit of About
$I,60O.oOO.

There was deficit in the postal re-
ceipts last year of $4,s94,71s.s4, or about
$1,000, 900, less than that of the previ-
Gus year. Henry Castle, auditor of the
post office department, has just re-
ceived from the bookkeeping division
the trial balance showing receipts
and expenditures of the postal service
for the year ended June 80 1900. This
statement, taken in connection with
that of the money order statement,
which was completed a week ago,
shows the entire financial results of
the postal service for the fiscal year.
The financial statement of the postal
service proper for the year 1900 is: Ex-
penditures. $1OT, 249, 29S.13; revenue,
$102, 354,579.29; excess of expenditures
over revenue, $4,S94, 71S.s4. The excess
of expenditures over receipts. or net
deficit of the postal service, is about
$1,500,OO0 less than the deficit for the
preceding fiscal year.
The principal item of revenue is the
sale OF stamps and stamped paper.
That item for the year under review
amounted to $94 ,699.63, an increase
OF Sc, 733,045.62 over the preceding year.

the postal service, including the mon
ey order statement, We're STA, 1874 ,191 20
for the fiscal year ended June 80, 1900.
Compared with the transactions of
1896 there is shown to be growth of

Distributed at Various Points
for Use of Our Navy.

The United States has more than 50,-
900 tons of coal distributed at various
points throughout the world for the
use of warships, and this amount will
be increased by. additions to be made
by schooners en- route. The largest
coal pile is at Manila, where there are
$4,000 tons. AS large quantity is now
on the way to the far west.
At Guam there are 2,s56 tons, and
ktation to accommodate 10 ,OOOis to be es.
tablished. Honolulu hasa naval coal pile
of 1898 tons, and Rear Admiral Brad
ford has prepared plans for locating
10000 tons there. There are about $500
tons at Pago Pago, and an increase of
$500 tons will be made upon the COM
pletion of the coal house under con-
struction at that point. AT San Juan,
Porto Rico, the navy controls 3. 1926 tons.
For the use of the North Atlantic
squadron during the coming winter
Rear Admiral Bradford will send to
Guantanamo two coal barges, carry
ing 1,76o tons, which are now at Port
Royal. The navy also has coal at An

TRIES THE svENoAL1 PLAN
Hypnotism EnIisted to Make a Jerse,
City IN. J.) Girl n vio-
linist,

A local Svengali is undertaking to
teach girl by means of hypnotic influ-
rence to become an expert yiolinist. Like
Trilby, she has no natural aptitude for
the task in hand and had practically
given up her ambition to be yiolinist
when the hypnotist took hold Of her.
The pupil is Miss Bessie Burney, of Jer-
sey City, and the professor" is Arthur
Baltar, of Al High street, Newark N. j.
Miss Burney had taken violin lessons
for months and was unable to make the
violin do more than squeak out a few
simple airs. Her parents, who had fond
hopes of making violinist out of her
fell back on the hypnotist as last re
sort and Baltar consented reluctantly
to the experiment. When he put tn,
girl under influence of hypnotic power
her fingers became supple, her toucl
was accurate and she handled the bow
surprisingly well. Unlike Trilby, sh,
| showed the same skill when she passes
from under the influence of the hyp
| motto spell. The lessons will be con
| tinued ard she viii become an exper
with the violin, the professor says.

Water il. Butter.

Chemists of this country and Eur
ope have found a wide variation in
the amount of water found In butter
from various sources. The general
opinion seems to hc TINT while the
amount of water i'm butter mly vary
from to 20 per cent, it should not as
a rule contain over IA or 16 per cent.
There are certain causes governing
these variations some of which were
investigated at the Iowa Experiment
Station and reported in bulletin No
90. The ones especially considered
were the effects of warm and cold wa
ter used for washing butter after
churning and lac effect of churning
large and small granuleS. The larg, st
amount of water was found in Tho
butter when the churning temporal
ture was low (52 dcgrccs} and the wasl,
water warm 10 dcgrecsl. The least
amountof water was found where the
temperature WAS 81 degrees at CHI, rn-
ing and the wash wash water WAS &c
degrees. The granulrs in both cases
being the size of bird shot. The prE-
ciples shown by these experiments
have proved effective in practice, as
shown by the results ri analysing

desired to make butter rail her free

an arm his hand came in contact with
a coat collar that had man in it.
The burglar sprang away, but Bever-

idge couple of times with his fist,
but the latter managed to strike the
former with chair and knocked him
down. The burglar made an attempt
to jump through the window, but
Beveridge caught him by one leg and
held him until the hired man came
and they managed to tie the intruder
and sent for the sheriff, who took him

FINDS SUBMARINE VOLCANO.
Sea Captain Makes n Discovery at
the Mouth of the Gulf
of Mexico.

Capt. Liddle, of the British steam
ship King Bleddyn, which arrived at
New York the other day, brought in
tale of the discovery Of a submarine
volcano on the northeast edge Of the
Campeche bank, ut the mcuth of the
Gulf of Mexico. Every man on tAe
freighter corroborated the captain.
The location, by observation made
by the captain, was 1902 miles north
land.
The captain says that late in the
afternoon of September 16 he saw n
great volume of vapor one mile away.
1t seemed to cover a space at least
100 feet square. The air was clear
and the sun shining at the time. He
could see the vapor plainly. 1t arose
like thick cloud of steam 60 OF IS
feet in the air. The water around
or near the space seemed to be per-
fectly clear.
occasionally the vapor would
clear said the captain, land then
we saw the water froth and break
as if over q shoal. Now, 1t IS impos-
sible that any. shoals exists there, and
if it did that would not account for
the vapor.
1.-THE chart shows Al fathoms, or
Pas feet, of water near this point over
the Campeche bank, and just to the
eastward, off the bank, it deepens to
| 300 fathoms, or 1880 feet.
1--WE watched that vapor, and thu
occasional boiling of the water fol
nearly an hour, and the disturbance
was still going on as lively as ever
Capt. Liddle took an observation and
marks the spots as being latitude q
degrees ii minutes and longitude 81
degrees .07 minutes.
