BOUTELLE'S DEATH.
The Immediate Cause Is Stated to
Have Been Pneumonia.

Boston, May 22.-Former Congress-
man Chas. A. BOutelIe's death, which
occurred at the Mclean asylum, Wa
verify, yesterday, where he had been
confined for a. year with brain trouble,
was due prin arily to pneumonia, which
developed last Sunday. Mr.. Boutelle's
daughter Grace, who has been at the
head of the household since her moth
er's death in 1892, was at the bedside.
Mr.. Boutelle was 81 years old, and on
his retirement from congress last Win
ter was placed on the retired list of the
navy as a captain, an Office to which he
was eligible by reason of the civil war
and congress committee services. Three
daughters survive.
Mr. Boutelle's illness dates from De
cember u, 1899. when he was seized by
a fit of unconsciousness while at a hotel
in this city. Later Mr. Boutelle was
taken to his home in Bangor, but i'm
nediately- returned to Mclean asylum,
where he has since remained His
mental condition it is said had i'm
proved considerably.

Pie-Making Secrets.
PIE-MAKING SECRETS.

Forming a hasty conclusion from a re-
view of the average family dinner ia ble
of today. it would seem that pie-1nal1ing
has become almost a lost art But when
we meet such an array of facts as are
given from anyone of the pie factories"
in our large cities, We are convinced
delicacy is not threatened to any great
extent. And it is evident that the
great pie belt has expanded very rap
idly within comparatively few years.
THE PIE EATERS.
The class Of people who demand pie,
and are willing to pay for good pie are,
surprising as it may seem. not to be
found in the majority in farming or
country districts, but, contrary to all
hygienic teachings, in our largest cities;
and are those who are chiefly engaged
in indoor occupations and who lead par
tial if not entirely inactive lives. We
have been taught to look upon pie as a
promoter of dyspepsia and its kindred
evils; and truly, he who partakes of
some of the pastries under this head, has
just cause to rue his temerity; for there
is nothing more likely to develop a dis
position to view the world through blue
spectacles, than diet of pie crust that
is a compound of sodden halfNcooked
starch and indigestible grease.
PIE-MAKING A SCIENCE
With demand for this form of food
comes the necessity of self preservation.
Therefore the product must be good, not
only in the sense that it is pleasing to
the taste, but good as a food and sus-
tenanCe, as II, right or wrong, consul
tuteS in a large part, the midday meal
of a large majority Of our working
classes. The use of pie as a dessert is
not so common as in former times per-
haps. This is owing to the fact that
many people realize that pies are fire.
Quently compounds that are too hearty
for ordinary digestion when they follow
a substantial meal; and another reason
is that until within recent years only
lard and butter were available as short
ening in pie crust. and these were too
often of inferior quality and always IN
wholesome, and under the manipulation
of an unframed cook We're made the
agent to create the common complaint,
indigestion.
In this age of specialties. however,
even pie-making has been reduced to a
science: and in such establishments as
we have mentioned, the work is entrust-
ed to experts only; consequently the
factory pie if it be constructed ac-
cording to these scientific principles and
only good and wholesome materials used
is less dangerous to the health of the
consumer than homemade article,
greasy, sOdden and pale
HOMEMADE PIE.
There is no reason why the home cook
should not excel the manufacturer. and.
there are certain kinds of pies that the
fastidious eater. as well as he who re-
CARDS health as paramount to mere eat
ing will wisely insist on having made
at home. or forego the pleasure of eat
ing them.
There is in the minds of most Ameri-
leans. whatever their sentiments regard
ing the eating of pastry in general,
weakness for at least one kind Of pie.

First, It cures every form Of piles

Tenience or detention from daily work.

sicians in every state in the union ana

the safest, surest and cheapest pile cure
known
When st is remembered that usually
piles is a most difficult, obstinate as
ease to cure. the results obtained from

Engineers on That Road Being As
signed to Regular Engines.

FL Paso. Tex, May 22.-The engineers
running out of this city on the S. P. have
been made glad by being again con-
signed to regular engines after being
worked in the pool for about two years.
The pooling Of the engines was an eco
nomical measure but it seems that the
company did not find it so economical
after all. The engineers We're worked in
what IS known as the chain gang and
would have to take out just what en-
CINE fell to them when their turn to go
out came. Now each has a regular en-
CINE which he may call his, and becom-
ing perfectly acquainted with it knows
just what it can do and can give the
company much better service than when
working in the chain gang. They also
become interested in their engines,
humor them and take better care of
them than when they do not know
which engine they are to run next.
