enough to go around the pie tins and fasten These
they place about the edges Of all juicy pies keep
them from running over.
Another preventive for running over is the Nf
rather deep pie tins that have broad edge at the
top. With these the bottom crust should be
slightly mostened with water and the two crusts
pinched tightly together below the top Of the tin,
leaving the crusts quarter Of inch at the top
free from each other. Then free the bottom crust
from the side of the tin all around the edge and
press the two forward separating them at the very

will be less danger of losing the juice. In any

VERY Strong CRITICISM
HOW THE LONDON PRESS VIEWS
ROBERTS DISPATCHES.
The Papers Score the Generals for In
decision in Plan, and Confusion in
Execution

LONDON, April 1S.-Lord Roberts
criticisms of General Butler, General
Warren and Colonel Thorneycroft con-
tinue topics of acute interest. All the
afternoon papers comment at length on
the structures of the British comman-
der in chief in South Africa, taking the
same lines as the morning papers,
praising Lord Roberts for his frankness
and specializing upon what the publica-
tion of the dispatches at the present
moment portends.
Some of them maintain there is moth
ing left for General Butler but to re-
sign. The st. James Gazette is partic-
ularly scathing. Referring to General
Buffers report, it says:
Never in the history of armies did
it happen that generals scrubbed their
confessions of failure and defeat, of
useless deaths of men and of discredit
to the flag in a manner which suggests
a careful selection from the forced joe
ular manner the slangy language of the
horesman, and tn gable of the smok-
ing-room in the evening"
The Globe declares that more pitla-
BILE record of indecision in plan and
confusion in execution we have seldom
read and adds that what little reputa-
ton General Butler had left has been
scattered to the winds.
Practically no developments have
been reported so far in tOdays South
African cables. A dispatch from War
renton dated Tuesday, April H. says:
Finding the Beers busy making new
trenches we exploded lyddite shells, fol-
lowing up these with the MaXims The
enemy's ambulance was afterwards OBJ
served on the spot"
From Weppener there is nothing later
than Lord Roberts message of yester-
day, and presumably neither side has
gained any particular advantage at any
point in the theater of war since that
last official dispatch was received.

RussIA,s DARK HAND.

LONDON, April 1S.-The vacuum Gre
ated by the shrinkage of war news is
filled with dispatches far afield and
with political rumors and gossip.
The Times publishes the text Of a
letter from the Ameer of Afghanistan
commenting upon British indifference
to Russian aggression, and conveying
the significant hint to the Indian gov
eminent that the present is the time
for deeds, not for talk. The thoroughly
entertained opinion in diplomatic cir
Giles is that Russia will not take adj
vantage of the British situation in
South Africa, but will wait until the
end of the war, or until the time comes
for the division of the Portuguese ter
ritOry in South Africa between Ger
many and Great Britain.

is HE A BIGAMIsT?
Earl Russell WEEDS a Reno Girl and is
in a Scrape.

LONDON, April 1S.-The cabled an
nouncement in the marriage columns of
the Times this morning of the wedding
of Earl Russell to Mollie Cooke at Reno,
New, April 10, has created a sensation
here, as it appears that Earl Russell,
according to the English law, is still
legally married to the first Countess
Russell, who is now performing at the
Tivoi Music Hall.
The marital trouble of the Russells
commenced in the courts in 1891, when
the Countess, who is a daughter of the
well known Lady Scott, applied for a
separation from her husband on the
ground of cruelty, which was refused.
Four years later the same petition re-
suited in the defendant nobleman be-
ing granted judicial separation. But
further litigation and cross petitions
followed. The litigation was ended by
the Court of Appeals refusing relief to
both parties, so they are still legally
married.
The Westminster Gazette suggests
Earl Russell may have secretly secured
an American divorce. But it was point
ed out that this would not save him
from the penalties of the English
courts. When Countess Russell was
interviewed this afternoon on the sub
ject she was almost Frustrated, and she
is arranging to postpone her stage APP
pearance this evening. She was ac-
companied by her mother. All the
Countess knew of the affair was the
announcement in the paper. She said:
when l saw the news the blow was
terrible. 1t seems such a dreadful adj
dition to all my troubles, 1t is terrible,
if it is true that a man can go to an
other country and get married after the
courts of this country have decided
against him. 1t is quite untrue to say
Earl Russell obtained a judicial separa-
ton When the House of Lords heard
the case it was decided against him."
Lady Scott said she and her daugh-
ter knew the Earl had been in America
about year, but they had heard moth
ing from him. She added:
Lady Russell has placed the matter
in the hands of her solicitor and is not
at all inclined to resign herself to the
acceptance of her noble husbands fam
lily motto, which is: What will be,
will be-"

After the night attack on April II the

DOWN TO THE DREGS.
From the Dover state sentinel.

From the Dover state sentinel.
We have at last about struck the dregs
of Democracy. The late session of the
court furnished the evidence OF it. On
the petit jury panel there were four men
who because of drunken habits were
wholly untitled to perform anv pubic
function. Their presence on the jury
marks the decline OF the party's morals
and emphasizes as nothing else could the
abandonment OF all CAIN to respecta-
bilitv and good citizenship. That these
mems habits are fixed, that they drink
to excess and that they are thereby un.
fitted for any responsible public duty is
notorious.
The Levy Courtmen who had the Sc
lection Of the men for the jury pane
knew them and had full knowledge q
their habits and of their t.tal untitnes,
for such position; yet they were
chosen. They were all Democrats, choser
because they were Democrats and choser
by Democrats. Has ii nrt come to
