Household Hints.

Silk dresses should never be
brushed, but should be carefully
rubbed with an old piece of velvet
kept specially for the purpose.
A nice steam presser can be made
of a short length of curtain pole or
broom haudle. Select a piece ten or
twelve inches long, pad it with flannel
and cover with old muslin. Good for
waist or sleeve seams.
Properly cooked kidneys are very
healthful, but as they are usually
cooked they are very indigestible. No
meat requires more skill to cook prop
erly. They need to be cooked like an
egg. Too much cooking is worse than
too little. They harden and become
indigestible. Five minutes cooking is
better than ten or fifteen If sliced
A delicate and nourishing dish for
an invalid is white custard made as
follows: Scald half cup of milk; beat
the white of one egg slightly, add one
tablespoonful of sugar and a few
grains of salt. Combine the mixtures
very carefully, add few drops of van
lila and strain into buttered custard
cup. Bake in pan of hot water un-
til firm. not allowing the water in the
pan to boil.

inches wide, with linen, upon which
holly, with its green leaves and red
berries, has been embroidered One
side of the case should be 2 inches
wide, so that the pins can be easily
extracted. A few stitches at the back
hold the two sides of the case to-
gether. and a strip of bright red rib
bon, half an inch wide, holds the pa
per of pins securely in place. The
ribbon should be tied into bows at
each end, with one extra long loop by
which to suspend this useful gift. OF
course, the paper of pins may be used
at any time.
The up-to-date photograph frame is
of heavy cardboard, about the edge of
which a narrow strip of dark gray
or green paper has been pasted. Four
hearts, pointing to the centre of the
cardboard, each with circular piece
cut out, to allow the photograph to be
seen, makes an attractive design for
such frame. A few sprays of mistle-
toe sketched in each corner is all that
is necessary to give a Seasonable
touch to this gift. OF course square

back, with openings at the top for the
insertion of the picture

The Carter OUTRAGE.

Eagan and Carter.-The lawyers
have invented new bubble which
they hope will keep Carter out of pris-
on. They contend that as the court
has sentenced him to dismissal from
the army he is no longer subject to
military authority, and hence that the
courtmartials sentence of imprison-
ment is void. But the precedents
are all against the bubble. In the
latest case-Eagan' Sin which an Off
Ger was sentenced to dismissal from
the army for conduct unbecoming to
an officer and gentleman" the Presi-
dent, so far from holding the convict
to be beyond military jurisdiction, al
though he approved the finding and
sentence, changed the punishment to
one of six years furlough on full pay
with honorable retirement at the end
of the term.-N. Y. Verdict

For Waue Farmers.

If any one doubts the tendency of
trusts to spread their protecting wings
over all the civilized world, and lacks
imagination enough to see that the
working populations of five or six
great nations are thereby likely to be-
come employees of a hundred or fewer
globe-circling industrial combines, he
has only to read the testimony of John
w. Gates, of the American Steel and
Wire Company, before the Industrial
Commission at Washington, to be
ruthlessly undeceived.
Perhaps when iron and steel, cot
ton goods, woolen goods, leather
goods, tobacco and other leading lines
of manufactures are "syndicated"
throughout the world, the wage earn
er will begin to realize what is meant
by government by industries, by and
with consent of the governed-or 9TH

ONLY 225 CARS A DAY,
Mines Practically Closed-Not Worth
the Working.

Pottsville, Pa, Oct. "A week ago

not more than 225 cars of anthracite coal
a day are being sent to market, and with
the exceptions of two country sections
everything is closed down tight.
Notwithstanding an increase Of sixteen
per cent in wages, the Reading miners re-
solved to stay at home until the big strike
is over. They say they will not only
stay on strike, but will quit work until
the trouble ends. 1t is sympathetic
move on large scale to enable their
brother miners to win their battle and

ERS, ALL HlG H IN POWER

Washington, Oct 2.-The Chinese min
lister has delivered to the state depart
ment official confirmation of the degra-
cation OF Prince Tuan and many other
chinese leaders. The following official
statement is made as to Minister Wu's
dispatch:
cablegram received from Director
General Sheng at Shanghai states that
by imperial edict, issued on September
20, Prince Chwang, Prince Yih, Second
ary Princes Tsai Liam and Tsai Ying are
deprived of all their respective ranks and
offices; that Prince Tuan is deprived Of
Office and is handed over to the imperial
clan court, which shall consult and de-
eide upon severe penalty and his salary
Is to be stopped; that Duke Tsai Ian
and the president of the censorate Ying
Men, are handed over to the said board
who shall consult and decide upon a Sc
we're penalty; and that Kank vi, assist
ant grand secretary and president of the
civi! board and Cho Shu Chiao, president
or the board of punishment are handed
over 10 the board of censors who shall
consult and decide upon a penalty"
Minister Wu's information appears to
put at rest all question as to the fan Of
the reactionary element headed by
Prlnce Tuan and including the president
OF the censorate and one of the board Of
punlshments. 1t shows, moreover, that
the punishment of TuaM Is more severe
than heretofore reported, as he is re-
moved from office, a fact not stated in
the previous dispatches. The clan court
Is directed also to decide upon a "severe
penalty on the addition to the loss of
office and servants. The state depart
ment received dispatch from Minister
Conger announcing the departure of the
Russian legation from Pekin. Beyond
this there was little additional bearing
on the Chinese situation. It was stated
officially that the reported French note
to the powers regarded the opening OF
negotiations and permanent disarma-
ment of the Chinese had been received.
II 1t proves true that a note has been
sent 1t is said that the proposition for
disarmament can hardly meet with favor
by this government. owing to the com
merclal standing and recognized sover
e1gn authority of China as a nation Tins
far there has been no protest on the mart
or this government against the appoint-
ment OF Yung Lu as one of the Chinese
peace commissioners. The state denart-
ment is inclined to think that he Is not
as culpable as the first reports Indicated.
Minister Wu, accompanied by his sec.
retary, Mr.. Chung, went to Baltimore at
ii O'Clock to visit the Maryland Steel
works at Sparrow's Point and witness
the launching of the dredging steamship

SETTLE WAGE QUESTION.
Tin Plate Workers Now Want Union
Recognition.

New York, Oct. 2.-Conferences be-
tween officers of the American Tin Plate
compay and men representing the en-
ployes have resulted in an agreement on
the scale of wages but some minor de-
mands of the men remain to be settled.
The consideration of these were defer
red pending the arrival in this city Of
some of the district managers of the Tin

ed to-day, when the conference will be

ment will be reached

pany grants us a slight concession. The
question that is now under discussion in
wolves the recognition of the union"
Powell declines to say just what the
question in dispute is but the recognition
of the union is supposed to be the princi-
pal obstruction.

sistence and the unionists' majority rose
over 80 on the unionist seats with no
change in relative strength Of the par
ties.
The political clubs were crowded after
10 o'clock when the returns came in Slow
ly from twenty contested seats. Two
were metropolitan boroughs, s-veral were
in Lancashire. two reflected the opinion
of the Plymouth dockyards and others
were scattered about the kingdom. Fif-
teen boroughs Of England and one in
Ireland hardly offered an adequate test
of the state of public opinion and the re-
suits did not justify the positive conclu-
sion that there would either be a shrink
age or expansion of uniOnists In the
house The first borough from which
returns were received was Durham. 1t
has been considered one of the most
doubtful seats. The Hon. Mr.. Elliott, who
is Lord Minto's son. lost the seat in 1895
by single vote, regained it by sixty-five
majority in bye-election and now has
majority of 269. This was a decisive
success. which delighted the loungers in
the conservative clubs and was hailed
as a good omen OF the general result.
Gibson Bowles, the eccentric comedian Of
the unionist benches, followed this lead
by increasing his majoriy in Kings Lynn
by SO votes, while Wigan remained un-
ionist by almost the identical majority
of 1895, and the majorities in Petersbor-
ough, Preston and Exeter were virtually
unchanged.
The liberals were disconsolate until Sir
Christopher Furness' remarkable victory
in Hartlepool was bulletined. This was
the first gain on either side and it was
emphasized by great majority. Sir
Christopher Furness was Lord Charles
Beresford's opponent at York. He is a
iberal-imperialist, of pronounced views
and ship builder, who is on excellent
terms with the trades unions. Other re-
suits were less decisive and the trend Of
opinion in the country is only imperfect
ly disclosed.

Roosevelt's Reply to Nebraska's Pop

McCook, Neb., Oct. 1.-The Roosevelt
special train reached Minden about $50

from a stand near the train. At Has
tings, Holdredge and Arapahoe the
crowds collected, evidently large pro-
portion of them being country people,
The place arranged for the night meeting
was at McCook, at which place the train
arrived at $3.50 this evening. The stand
had been erected in the city park, three
quarters of a mile from the station to
which the governor was conducted
There was a large crowd at the station
to meet the train, including an escort of
horsemen, marching club and band,
The park was pretty well filled with
people when the governor arrived at the
speaking place. 1t was with difficulty
that he reached the platform. The alb
sence of lights and the extreme unfavor-
able conditions prevented the governor
from making any extended remarks and,
on being introduced, he limited his ad-
dress to few minutes.

the court house square. Governor Roose-

Three-Sided Convention Being Held
There Today.

Special to Inter Mountain.
Deer Lodge, Oct. 2.-About one hun
dred people came down from Anaconda
and intermediate towns to attend the
Bank democratic, populist and labor
party conventions held today.
The democratic contingent was headed
by ]. M. O'Leary and ]. M. Kennedy. The
populists by DR.. Oliver Lesser and F. H.

of the labor element. On the trains from
Anaconda there were thirty-one popu-
lists fourteen labor delegates and the
balance comprised the democratic dele
cation.
The indications at p. m. are that there
will be bitter fight indulged In. Both
the populists and labor men want the
candidate for sheriff. The populists seem
to be unanimous in the choice of A. p.
Flanagan while the laborites insist on
having Larry Owen for that place, and
they claim they will stand up for him
until the last. The democrats on the 9TH
er hand do, not want the sheriff, but con-
cede that office to the other party. The
democrats insist on candidates for
state senator, three members of the leg
islature, and one or two of the minor Of
fees. ]. w. Kennedy of the democratic
ticket came down today to make fight
in the democratic convention for the in
dorsement Of three candidates who claim
that the convention held here on Septem-

one. These nominations are Captain p.

for county treasurer and VIM. Kelliher
for county commissioner. 1t is not be-
lieved the populists will accede to this
demand.
