Funeral of Louise Frost.

Denver, Colo, Nov. 12.-The funeral
of Louise Frost. the little girl who was
outraged and murdered at Limon in
Lincoln county, was held In this city
yesterday, the interment being in Fair
mount cemetery.
In the same grave with Louise
Frost yesterday afternoon We're buried
the bodies of her three-year-old sister,
Fay, who died two years ago, and that
of Mary Bass, the siX-year-old daugh-
ter of Dr. and Mrs. Bass, who died
seven years ago and who was Louise
Frost's dearest child friend. 1t had
been the wish, often expressed, of
Louise that she might be buried be-
side her friend and her sister, and this
,lsh was faithfully carried out. AS
little children Louise and Mary were
almost inscparable companions. The
body of Fay has been resting in the
cemetery at Limon, and that of Mary
in Fairmount.
Although many arrests have been
made ON suspicion. among them that
of Preston Porter, colored. and his twt
sons, Arthur and John Porter, the au
thorities have been unable to secure
any reliable clue to the identity of the
real murderer.
Il. w. Frost, the father of the dead
girl, after her funeral, visited police
headquarters and said:
II have but one ambition in life, and
that Is to find the man who killed my
little girl. i shall never he contcnted
until justice is done. | trust that /
shall live long enough to look into his
dead face, and when | have done that
will be content then to die myself"

Severe Storm in New York.


New York, Nov. 1O.-A severe storm
began night before last and continued
yesterday with the wind rising to a
gale. 1t is also much colder than yes
terday, and in northern New York
snowstorms are reported. Throughout
the Adirondack district and in Sara
toga there was more than an inch of
snow on the ground ut noon.
On the coast the wind became so high
that the marine observer in the Sandy
Hook tower was forced to leave his
post because the building swayed so
much that he feared it would collapse.
A sloop lying inside Sandy Hook
dropped her anchor and was driven
inside the beach
All telegraph lines out of New York
were badly crippled by the storm.
The gale caused high tides ut Concy
Island, said to be the highest ever
known there. The water extended to
the old Gravesend road, fully one mile
from Concy Island. The spray dashed
high over the strong bulkheads in front
of the Brighton Beach hotel but no
great damage was done there. Sleeps.
head bay was also Hooded.
The wind attained its highest veloci
ty in this city at l55 p. m, when 1t
blew at the rate of seventy-two miles
an hour from the northwest.

IN CONGRESS-.

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA spirited
and at times sensational debate was
preciptated in the Senate to- lay on
the Philippine question, the basis for
the speechmaking being a resolution OF
inquiry offered several days ago by Mr.
Pettigrew of South Dakota, to which
substitutes were proposed. Mr.. Petit
grew attacked the ADMINISTRATORS pol
icy in the Philippines and also made
Some startling charges against those
who were supporting the administra
ton. He declared that systematic
effort was being made to prevent accu-
rate information from reaching the peo-
pie of the United States and that it was
apolitical scheme to further the candi
dacy of Mr.. Mckinley for denomination
md reelection. The discussion was
terminated bv resumption of the con
3 deration OF the currency bill at two
O'Clock. Mr.. Stewart of Nevada made
an elaborate speech on The question of
the national finances.

ADVANCE IN MANILA.

MANILA, Jan. Reports from the
movements of the American command
ers south of Manila show Gen. Bates
and Gen. Wheaton are at Perez DIs
Marinas and Gen. Schwan at Slang,
all awaiting the arrival of provision
wagons. Reconnaissance have shown
that 1000 armed insurgents have re-
tired to the mountains from the district
between Indang and Maig, and that
others have retreated along the coast
from Noveleta toward Bstangas.
Last night Nolan's squadron of the
Eleventh cavalry drove body of insur-
gents from Mag. One American was
killed and two were wounded. Thir-
teen dead Filipinos were found. The
movement largely resembles Gen.
Schwan's experiences in the same
country except that the towns are now
being garrisoned and that the insur-
gents refuse to fight, retreating south
ward and dividing into small bands,
with the apparent intention of reas-
sembling later. The plan of catching ii
large number between two brigades
has failed. About a hundred insur
gents have BEEN killed. but compare
lively few arms have been taken.
The inhabitants of the islands
of Leyte and Samar are suffer

SPONGE CAKE

Acknowledged worth.
SPONGE CAKE.
Sift half a pound of flour and powder
a pound OF the best loaf sugar. Crate
the yellow rind and squeeze into a saucer
the juice of three lemons. Beat twelve
eggs; and when they are as light as pos
sible beat into them gradually and very
hard the sugar, adding the lemon and
beating the whole for a long time Then
by degrees, stir in the flour slowly and
lightly; for If the flour is stirred hard
and fast into the sponge it will make the
cake porous and tough. Have ready
buttered a sufficient number of little
square tins (the thinner the better) half
fill them with the mixture; CRATE loaf
sugar over the top of each; put them at
once into a quick oven and bake them
about ten minutes taking one out to try
1t when you think they are done. Spread
them on an inverted sieve to cool. If
you are willing to take the whole trouble
they are much nicer in little square pa
per cases, which you must make of
thick letter paper, turning up the sides
all around, and fastening together or
sewing up the corners.
If you bake the mixture in one large
cake (Which is not advisable unless you
have had much practice in baking) put
it into buttered tin, and set it directly
into a hot oven, as it will fall and become
heavy if allowed to stand. Keep up a
good fire till the cake has risen very
high, and is a fine color; then diminish
the heat and keep it moderate until the
cake is done. 1t will take about an hour
Sponge cake is best the day it is baked
