Mr.. Rayner attempted to have Admiral Cotton
say that his conversation with Admiral Schlcy
concerning Lieutenant Beall's proposition 10 go
ashore and communicate with the insurgents had
occurred on May 81 instead OF May %. The
witness said that this might possibly he the
case, but that TO his best recollection the con-
verSation occurred on May oT. Mr.. Rayner cN'
planned that Admiral Schley had on May 81 sent
another man ashore TO communicate with the
insurgents, which would explain Admiral
Schley's declnaton OF Lieutenant Bcall's propo,
sition.

A Signal Order.

limited to the flying squadron alone-to report
whether the ships had sufficient coal to reach

report TO the effect that all the ships, including
the Texas. had sufficient coal to return TO hey

afterward-I should say within a few minutes-he

KEEPING FALL FRUITS.
How 10 store Them Away for Usa
After They Have Gone Out
of Market.

There are several ways of keeping
fan fruits until the holidays or later,
which should be practiced more often
than they are, says the New York Trio-
une. A bunch Of fresh grapes or de-
licions pear is especially grateful TO the
palate when the snow covers the
ground, and tropical fruits are usually
III we can get. There are two methods
popular. One is to pack the grapes
n other fruit in layers in dry sawdust
in a key, barrel or box, and keep 1t in
a dry. cool cellar or attic. The other
is to wrap the fruit in tissue paper and
pack il lightly in some closed receptacle
in the same way. The end in both cases
aimed at Is TO shut out the air. The
fruit must be perfectly fresh and sound.
Grapes that have hung on the vines
SO long that at the slightest movement
they drop off are not fit to be packed
away. but sound, ripe grapes and ripe
pears or fall apples that have not be-
GUN to grow mellow should be selected.
Pick the fruits from the vine or tree,
taking care not TO bruise them Wrap
them in tissue paper, or pack them IN
LAYERS in sawdust, taking care they do
not touch each other. Cover them close
ly. A dark closet upstairs is usually
better place TO keep such fruit, provid-
ing it is cold enough, than cellar, be-
cause there is apt to be some dampness
about the cellar. In house heated by
a furnace all closets above the cellar
are likely to be too warm. The fruit
must not freeze, but. packed in either
way, il will not freeze even when II is
kept in a very cold place. II properly
packed and kept grapes taken out at
New Years will have the fresh appear
ance and flavor of fruit taken from the
vine. Fruit kept in either way must
be used soon after 1t is unpacked. and
will not bear the transportation fresh
fruit does, but it pays to put il up thus
IL only for the pleasure Of enjoying 1t
at the holiday season.

Plain skirts are considered very
smart. but that does not by any means
signify that trimmed skirts have gone
out of fashion. Quite the contrary, for
the dressmakers are all busy turning
ont skirts that show the greatest guam
t,tv of fine work, and it really must
needs tax the ingenuity of the design
ers to evolve so many new ideas all the
time. A good illustration of this is

A GENUINE KNOCKOUT.
Woman by Her Long-surer-

When a smart young woman is given
to argument she is one of the most
troublesome factors in a Joint debate
that you can encounter. She recog-
nizes none of the courtesies of the game

free to intimate that you are too ig-
norant for words, that your logic is
lame enough 10 call for an ambulance,
that you can't put two and two togeth-
er without making misfit, and never
allows more than three minutes to pass
without pertly requesting you not to

troit Free Press.
There is one of this class of young
ladies in Detroit who has some terrific
bouts with her father, and the old gen.
tleman frequently gets away by him
self under a humiliating conviction
that he has had his armor punctured
at divers points. She is assertive. She
never goes through the usual meth
DDS of reaching a conclusion; just pro-
duces it ready-made and sticks 10 it
as though it were as infallible as the
DEGREES of absolute wisdom.
A few days ago the old gentleman
scored hard and is still hugging him
self. She had worsted him on ques-
tion of history, because she had read up
with special reference to catching him
shy on information. She had also given
him close run on a political argu-
ment, and by some sort of an off-side
play the wife and mother came under
discussion. the girl declaring that a
mother always thought more of her
daughter than OF her husband.

flushed with previous success, "give me
just one little reason for thinking that
I'm wrong, and III surrender uneondi-

Two athletic youths, with more en-

to one of the citys cheap theaters to
see priZefighter then starring and

next day they wore half rueful, half
amused expressions which called for an
explanation.
WELL" admitted one of them, eve
had the funniest trick played on us we
ever struck. We saw the play, and of
course we clapped as hard as we could
at the boxing part. Then one Of the
ushers came up and said confidentially
that by paying 10 cents extra we could
go round to the back and see some
more boxing We jumped at the chance
and went round behind the scenes. No
sooner had we got there than some one
called out: More Supes! More supes for
the street scener and a man rushed up
and said You go on and supe for the
scene, and we'll refund your money
We were tickled TO death, being hard
up, so on we went. After the scene
there was an awful confusion. and we
were hustled out somehow. We tried
TO get our money, but they were too
spry for us. We just paid 10 cents
apiece to 60 around and supe for those
people."--New York Tribune.

Hay Iozenges.

Hay lozenges are the popular confec-
tionery among army horses in the Phil
ippines and South Africa. The food, or
rather the form Of IL, is n Yankee in
vention, called into existence by the
circumstance of war in n country lack
ing good roads. Hay put up in the or
binary bale cannot be transported on
horseback, because Of its weight and
bulk. 1t is therefore compressed by
powerful machinery into disks foot
or Is inches in diameter and two inches
thick. The disks are packed into rolls,
like the lozenges the train boys sell,
and hung in sings from the horses
back, one on each side. A single loZ-
enge, when broken up and opened out,
makes n meal for horse or mule and
will cure him Of that hungry feeling as
quickly as a mangerful of fresh hay.
The compactness Of the new bale also
means great saving in freight

1t was the intention TO have one OF

for some reason the subject was chang

falo from which the photograph was
made Is not much smaller than an or
binary tenement house and contains
herd OF five Of the finest specimens OF
the vanishing bison in existence. The
