New York. Sept. 7.-Benito Zalamea,

with dispatches to Secretary Hay from
Charles Burdett Hart, minister to Col-

real etate OF Affairs in the country,
which have been concealed by orders OF

news wac received that President San

President Marroguin had legally suc-

bic by Marroguin to the Colombian rep-
3resentatives all over the world, with in
structtons to transmit 1t to the heads
OF the various governments. The latter
were suspicious OF MarroRuin and de-
slayed recognizing him. Minister Hart
was asked to send fuller information to
Washington. It now appears Mario
gum did not peacefully succeed San

Gen. Palacio. secretary OF state. and put
them in prison at Villeta. The actual

last ten months has been fought by the
conservatives against the liberals. or

practically ended the historical wing OF
the conservatives broke away from the
naturalistic wsng in an attempt to get
the upper hand OF the government. The
historical wing. under Marroguin, de-
.cided upon a coup d etat. Zalamea saw
President San Clemente in prison at
Villeta. The president told him he
would not give in or recognize the new

the true state of affairs be made known.
Since assuming power, Marroguin has
soverriden the constitution, laws and
everything else and conducted himself

Uaing the Odds and Ends.

"Never waste anything" is the ad-
all sides. Suet and drippings have
their use. Bits of meats and odds and
ends of vegetables are over-dowing
with edible possibilities, and even
stale cake may be made into some
thing more appetizing than cabinet
pudding, although cabinet pudding is
wonderfully good when proper care and
expense are bestowed in the making.
The truth Is that good cookery can
never be extremely plain and inexpen-
sive. The woman who wonders why
some one else's hashes and stews and
made-overs are delicious, while hers
are not, will generally find that she
needs to cultivate a more lavish hand
something in the seasoning line. To
make very good pudding from stale
pieces Of cake, begin by well butter
ing a mould that will contain one
quart. Add q few raisins and cur
rants and nut meats. Now put in the
small pieces of cake with some more
raisins and currants until the mould
is nearly full. Beat two eggs until
quite light, then add to them two cup
fuls of milk, a heaping tablespoonful
of sugar and pinch of salt and po
over the cake. Cover the mould and
put it in boiling water to cook, being
careful that the water does not reach
side to the pudding. Boil for one hour,
When served hot with fruit sauce,
this makes a really good desert. In
fact stale cake has many dishes in
vented for the sole purpose of taking
care Of it that far surpass first-hand
dishes of less richness.

BIacksmithing Without a Fire.

A blacksmith's shop without a forge
seems novelty, indeed, but there are
several in operation, declares the Chi
cago 1nter-Ocean. In these shops there
is applied patent horseshoe made OF
special steel which is soft enough to
permit OF its being hammered and shap-
ed, as far as may be necessary, without
heating. There are anvls here, and
hammers are used so that these time
honored accessories OF the blacksmith's S
shop still remain here, but there is no
fire, no bellows, with griny, swarthy,
stalwart blacksmith swaying on the han
die with one hand, while he gently pokes
the burning coal in the forge with the
other. There is no smoke here and no
flying sparks, nor is there the long ia
miliar odor Of the burning hoof when
the hot shoe is laid up against it. These
places are horseshoeing parlors.
One of these horseshoeing shops oc-
cupes a long room that was designed
for store in building that stands on
a corner. The shop proper. occupying
the greater part of the space, opens On
the side street. The office. or reception
room, of the horseshoeing parlor, at the
front end of the store, occupies a
square of space OF the width of the
building, and running back about 20
feet, where an office railing is placed,
dividing the reception room from the
blacksmith shop.
On the floor OF the office, or reception
room, there is a $500 rug; there are
comfortable chairs about, for visitors or
for customers; there is desk for the
manager, and there are potted palms.
And all this is separated from the shop
itself only by that office railing across
the inner end OF this reception room,
beyond which one sees down the length
OF the shop men busily engaged shocing
horses in this blacksmiths shop with
out fire.

The care of the sick can scarcely
reach its highest ideal save where per-
sonal attachment supplements knowl-
edge and skill. Therefore, It belongs
to the life of every woman. There are
few households, indeed. where any
girl can grow up without some oppor-
tunities for this experience. Such op-
portunities may well be supplemented
by lectures, courses of reading and
well-plarned demonstrations. If every
woman could (as she shouln under or
dlnary circumstances undertake the
care of the sick in her own home, this
would but accentuate the value and
raise the status of the "born nurses"
who, never happy save in the special
exercise of their gift, would then quite
suffice for hospital cases and the grand
occasions of major operations. The
sight of the cap and veil of the hired
trained nurse when imported into a
household with women members
scarcely raises ones ideas of the fam
lily morale!-Chambers's Journal.

HOW A TORNADO STARTS.


Tho observations of an Eyewitness of q
Nebraska Storm.
One of the most interesting facts con-
cerning tornadoes is the record of how
one began. The account was sent to
the weather bureau by one of its OBJ
servers. The following is an abstract:
by A. II. Gale, Voluntary Observer
at Bassett, Nebraska.
dated, July %, 1889.
"Mr. A. Brown, five and one-half
miles northwest Of Johnston, saw the
tornado form. He was at work in his
barnyard and noticed it coming across
his field as light summer whirlwind,
such as Is noticed on any still, hot
day. Air at the time was calm. Mr..
Brown says he was Harvesting horse,
and as the light whirl passed him it
gently lifted the straw edges of the
roof of his cowshed, but had not
enough strength to lift his hat, and
passed on. At this point it was devoid
of any color, and was mainly noticed
by the whirl it made among the grass.
straw, and chaff on the ground; he
watched its onward movement indiffer-
emily, and soon saw it gather a color
which made it detinable. He then paid
closer attention to it and noticed it
becoming black angry and gyrating
vigorously, chips, straws, and dirt fell
into it, and were absorbed by it and a
smoky veil began to envelop the whirl-
ing column as it mounted upward.
'At the same time funnel began to
lower itself from turbulent low-hang
ing cloud of an area of about 40 acres;
the column and funnel soon connected,
and with this union the thing took on
a terrifying aspect; up to this time he
had no feeling of apprehension. When
the whirl passed him he said he was
aware of its passage only by its action
on the ground. No color. A black
cloud above, in commotion, followed
the whirl on the ground, which latter
was eight or ten feet in diameter. This
cloud was alone, separate, and clear
from a higher strata of storm clouds
above. When passing his point, and as
long as within his line of view, he es-

say here that the entire path from
start to end was IS or 10 miles, and in
that distance it made southing from
a due east course of two and three
quarters miles, and ranged from one to
three rods in width. Two and one-half
miles from Mr.. Browns point it
crossed a large cornfield, and here it
received much of its coloring matter.
''That the affair was at this time in
comfortable order was demonstrated
by the shock it gave the first house it
struck as it left the cornfield-Mr. John
Strohm's. Mr. Strohm and his family
saw 1t as it arose along the slant Of the
corntield to his house OH its edge, and
