made from selected hickory

of the Old-faShiGned clumsy
process of smoking meats in a
smoke house. 1t is far cleaner
and more convenient and it
saves a lot OF time and work.
The Liquid Extract of Smoke,
made by f. Krauser & Bro, of
Milton, Pa, is applied to the
meat with a sponge or brush,
and the meat can be hung at
once in the store room. Liquid
Extract of Smoke contains the
same ingredients that preserve
the meat when il is smoked in
a smoke house. 1t keeps the
meat sweeter and safer than the
old way, improves its flavor, the
process is perfectly haalthful
and is a better safeguard against
insects which frequently attack
meats smoked in the old way.
No one who has adopted this
way of preserving meats has

CAUSE OF DEATH
OF N. I'll. BROKAW.
A POstmortem Examination Is Held
The Funeral Takes Place
at Kaukauna.

Kaukauna. Wis, Nov. 1.-[Special. j
The family Of n. HI. Brokaw, the we'll
known paper manufacturer who died
here Tuesday morning, yesterday con-
sented to an autopsy upon the body to
clear away the mystery which has baf-
fed the skill of the medical fraternity.
1t was conducted by DR.. D. A. Titus, a
local physician, and DR.. F. J. Edmonds
Of Cleveland, O., a brother Of Mrs. Bro
kaw. The result showed that the imme-
date cause of his death came from a
rupture of gall bladder and that the
cause Of the rupture had existed for sew
eral years, causing the sack of the gall
bladder to increase gradually to three
times its normal size, which extension
weakened its walls until it finally burst,
death ensuing in a few hours.
The funeral occurred at l o'clock this
afternoon at the First M. e. church, Of
which he was a member. The services
were conducted by Presiding Elder J. e..
Farmer of Appleton, Rev. William Hoo
ten, former pastor, and the present
pastor of the church, Rev. e. G. Potter.
The pallbearers which had been chosen
were taken two each respectively from

KAISER AS CONNOISSEUR.
He Offers 100000 for Ancient Fres-
Goes Discovered i'm Italy.

There lives at Boscoreale, on the east
ern side of Mount Fesuvius, a small
landed proprietor, named Deprisco, who
has realized large sums out of ancient
coins and works of pre-Christian art
many of them in the precious metals, ex-
cavated on his property. On this same
estate there has within the past few
weeks been brought to light an ancient
building of great size and in splendid
preservation.
Some of the walls were still covered
with frescoes of rare beauty, and most Of
them still in perfect condition. While the
excavations We're in progress the spot
was visited by the vice-director of the
Berlin museum, and upon his report, sup
ported by photographs of the frescoes,
the German Emperor expressed such ar
earnest desire to secure them that SignOr
DepriscO is now in Berlin, where the ne
gotiatiOns are proceeding.
1t is stated that the Kaiser has made
an offer of 100000, at the samestime en-
tering into personal correspondence with
the King of Italy to secure his majesty S
support in surmounting legal difficulties.

NOVEL LONDON RESTAURANT.
Eating House Three Floors Under
Dround-Occu a Famous Site.

Eating house lhree FLOORS Onuer-
acknowledgements Famous Site.
There is Il famous site in London where
once stood the palace of Cromwell. Earl
Of Essex, and afterward the hall of the
Diapers company. Here will be opened
in few days one of the most remark
able and magnificent restaurants in Lon
don. the Throgmorton. 1t is the Nine
teenth century development of the old
eating-houses of the city, IN which you
dived down a few steps, into musty
apartment, where very plain food, but
good wine, was prOcurable. At the
Throgmorton the proprietors have dived
to some purpose. They have dived and
tunneled and have constructed restau-
rant of three floors underground, which
apparently consists chiefly of long gal
leries all luXuriously fitted and fur
nished.
The kitchens are a dream of culinary
resourcefulness. The cellars are such
that the wines can be kept at the exact
temperature good for their health. and
the grillroom is something to make one
look back with diSdain to the old DAYS
when the hungry city man used to per-
sonally select his chop or steak at Ban

BREAK UP MONOPOLY.
New firm to Compete for Contracts
to Build Warships.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 2.-The mo-
nopoly of constructing warshipss of the
largest type, hitherto enjoyed by three
concerns in this country, promises to be
invaded by four or five firms, which have
expressed a great desire to make propos-
ais for the construction of the vessels
bids for which will be opened or Deem
Der 6. The three firms which have al
ways bid upon this work are the Union
Iron works of San Francisco, the Cramp
Building and Drydock company of Phila-
delphia and the Newport News (Va)
Shipbuilding company. 1t now appears
that these firms will have as rivals the
Fore River Shipbuilding company Of
Weymouth. Mass; Townsend & Downey
of New York. the New York Shipbuild-
ing company Of New York city, the Triggg
Richmond, Va, and the Risdon Iron
works of San Francisco. The appear
ance of the latter firm in the list of COM
petitors is something of a surprise. 1t
will make it interesting for the Union
Iron works, which has had no competi-
tors in the race for naval contracts COW
ering large ships on the Pacific coast.
