BEFORE BOARD
OF PARD0NS.
England and COOch Ask
For Pardon of II. S Col
lins and L. !. Handy
@~ For POttsyille Red.

Howell S. England and Edward
W. Cooch appeared before the
Board of Pardons at Dover today
in behalf OF James Collins, who was
convicted at the September term Of
General Sessions Court. to Que
years Imprisonment for using a
female minor child tor immor |
purposes. A review OF the case
which was SO ably handled by
Messrs. England and Cooch, shows
Mr.. Collins to have had au excel.
lent character aud to have been a
good young man. The evidence
upon which he was convicted was
OF most tlimsy character and no
Jury should have convicted him.
The State could not show the
date OF the commItme Mt of the crime
nor did it prove the age of the girl.
The Jury was out for a number OF
hours, which wosa sure indication
of them not being able to agree.
They, however. brought in a ver-
dict OF guilty, with plea for
mercy.
Several OF the jurymen could not
rest under the verdict and several
days later called at the oihce OF
Mr. England in reference to the
case. They were not satisfied to
allow MIR. Collins 10 suffer Im.
prsonmcnt for 30 long time and
we're willing 10 give letters asking
lor a pardon for him.
Petitions were circulated and
signed by several hundred proml-
uent people 1t is seldom that the
names OF all OF the convcting jury
can be obtained and this one being
signed by all twelve is a good indi.
cation that the pardon is deserv.
ing.
l.. Irving HANDY will apply for
pardun for James Porter generally
known as "Pottsvlle Red who
was convicted of completely in the
dynamiting of the Bavarlan Brew
erv safe. alter the watchman and
the fireman at the breweri had
been bound and gagged. Mr..
Handy has evidence TO offer which
hc thinks will prove that Porter
was not engaged in the robbery.
Application will also be mace for
the pardon of CyrIl b. Varian,

What Really Edncates a child,

The child who runs for a dav over
an ocean ship has laid in store of
observations worth more than much
teaching of mechanical invention and
means Of transportation. A few
weeks spent in making little gar
den. planting seeds, caring for the
tender growths, gathering and util-
izing such produce as may come, will
bring the child nearer to the great
Natnre-mOther than much school
work, and even many excursions for
nature study. 1t is play, work, love
that educate: spontaneous self-ex-
preston, action compelled by inner
or outer forces, relations to other
individuals-Edw Howard Griggs,
in Ladies' Home journal.

FIELD MUsHRooMs;>
They Much Excel the CsItivated
Variety fer Delicacy Of Flavoa
IDA -HoH to Cook Them. TIA

n delicacy not SO wen known az II
should be is the field mushroom that
Is now in the market to the Joy OF
the true epicures who know how diff.
ferent in favor is the wild variety
from the cultivated or hothousa
mushroom which is all that Is to be
had for nine months Of the year.
But the season comes and goes in
many homes without the appearance
OF this nutritious and palatable veg.
etablc. The hothouse vagiey which is
sold by the pound is always very
high priced, but the wild mushroom
is to be had by the quart and is with.
in the reach of the moderate purse.
l'ut it seems to suffer more than
the forced mushroom from the pre- ju.
dice that exists against the ycgcta-
bic, owing to the eases of poisoning
that now and then occnr and are tel.
egraphed about the country, says the
New York Sun.
The Italian of all Europeans apprc.
ciatos the mushroom and the Italian
melho!s of preparing it are perhaps
superior to other ways. although va.
rious Ella borntc recipes are given in
the many "mushoom' volumes that
are devoted 10 the edible so long
omitted in the old-fashioncd cook
books. The Italian way of frying
mushrooms is to peel them and break
the stalks OFF evenly. Then pepper
salt and butter each one. Melt some
butter in the pan, put the mush.
rooms in it, then fry for ten minutes
and serve on buttered toast.
TO grill them in Italian fashion take
the heads from some nedum-sized
specimens. clean. wash and dry them.
Make stuiling of the mushroom
stalks, some parsley, garlic or onion
and put small portion of this on
each head. Salt. pepper and season
them with olive oil and place them
on grdiron and cook slowly for Ii
minutes.
Wild mushrooms cooked in n chat.
ing dish are delicious. Make first a
mixture Of olive oil. teaspoonful OF
paprika, II pinch of black pepper and
one of salt. In this place the mush-
rooms he stem trimmed short being
uppermost. Cover the dish and brown
them for ten minutes. Then place
sliced hot bread in the hot pan, add.
ing half an ounce of butter. Serve
the mushrooms on the bread when it
is Drowned.

SUGGESTIONS TO HOUSEWIVES.
A Few Items Of Domestic Lore That
May lie Worth Pre-
HeTSinE.

In cleaning papier mache articles
use "A sponge noistrned with cold wa
ter. They may be polished with flour
and flannel cloth, says houscno.d
exchange.
On large scale. but equally y simple
in design. are the desks that open at
both sides and thus may be used by
two persons at the same time without
any ns Convenience. They are supplied
with double set of pigeon holes and
do not take up much room.
For the country cottage game OF
curhre or bridge whist an ingenious
manufacturer has devised round
table of convenient size with low
backed, comfortable chairs that slip
in under the table when not in use and
thus economihe space, an important
item in the country home Of limited d.
menSions.
Even with set tubs. two wooden ones
of handy size help o,iI amazingly. One
would better be kept especially for
table linen and for riusiug the finest
white things. Use the other for soak.
ing. but dnnot soak too long. An hpur
is long enough 10 soften and dissolve
the dirt, yet not long enough to set
ii all through the garment.

ATTACKED BY
AN ITALIAN.

An Italian yesterday evening
caused considerable alarm
about Claymont by accostipg
several lsdies who were walking
near their home in that little
town.
The wife of H. T.. Brown, with
her three daughters yesterday
afternoon walked from their
home ON the Post Road to the
scene of the wreck on the Pen.
nsylvania Railroad. When on
their way home they were ap
preached by anItalian who act.
ed in a very suspicious manner
He at first walked beside the
ladies. Later he laid his hand
on Mrs. y. D. Pierce, a daugh'
ter of Mrs. Brown, and tried
to force her down the embank-
ment. Mrs. Pierce called to her
mother and the latter succeed
ed in attracting The attention
OF a workman, On the approach
Of the latter the Italian turned
and fled. The ladies' were pro-
fuse in their thanks to the
man who came to their assist
ance.
The foreigner is described
by the woman as being rather
short but Of heavy build. He
had jet black hair wore a
mustache and was neatly dress.
ed.
At a point less than a mile
below Claymont station nearly
two hundred Italian laborers
are housed in shanties. 1t is
quite probable that the foreign
er who gave the ladies such a
scare is of this colony. A sharp
lookout will be kept for him
about Claymont.
Detectives Frances and
Ratledge will investigate the
case.

Prune Shnrfcnke.

Prunc shortcake is another emer-
gcncy suggestion. This is when one
is out of reach of fresh fruits. for

with us. The shortcake should be
made of biscuit crust, and the
prunes for the filling stewcd till ten.

W. Travis, inli,tsd for au assault with
intent to murder Officer John w. Paris

one Of tho most interesting jury trials
and contests between lawyers that has

Travis was arraigned today aud plead.
ed not guilty. H. X. Kenney and James
u. Hughes Appearing for him. Attorney
General Ward and X. II. Richards prose.
culed the case for tho state. The police
man still lame and dlsGgured, told of
Traviss knocking him OF the bridge
while passing from the street to the lock
up door in Harrington. while arrcsting
Travis for fast driving and disorder
When he had been knocked into the
ditch, Travis jumped on him with his
heavy boots and stamped him about the
body until hs was utterly. .helpless. Jesse
q. Smith saw Travis "l,noc him clean"
into the ditch. then jump upon the pros
trato man and stamp him for several
minutes. Cove Atkins heard the polics-
mnn's: outcries and saw Travis running
toward town. Commissioner Thomas J.
Smith Of Harrington. testified to tho ordi
nance concerning fast and reckless driv.
ingand totspecial instructions given Po-.
llceman Paris about nrresting 9 a1l offend
ers OF regulations.
Tho defence attempted to show that
Travis broke away from Policeman Par.
rls believing he had been Illegally ARREST
cd for lcollding with Ezekiel F'leming's
carriage. In freeing himself he had fused
no unnecessary force. .and injured Paris
because tho latter pulled him into ditch
when tho two fell from the bridge in
struggle.
EThe testimony OF six witnesses to hi;
good character was Introduced b y resid-
ents OF Whiots Church. but Associate
Justice Grubb subsequently, ruled thi. oil
out because the witnesses admitted und +
