This Gives the Combination Practi-
cal Control of the North
western Market.

The bituminous coal trust is progressing
very nicely so far as the northwest is con-
cerned. 1t was reported to-day that the
Ohio Coal company, the largest concern
outside of the combine, had decided to
come in" and would hereafter be under
the control of the Pittsburg Coal company,

Pioneer and the Youghiogheny companies

BOGUS R0GUES' GALLERY
Dangerous Approach to Deliberate
Design to Defeat Justice.


Chicago, Aug. PA bogus rogue's gall
lery, which, according to men familiar with
Central Detective headquarters, pre-
vents rather than aids the Identification
Of criminals was discovered to-day in
Captain Luke Colleran's Office in the city
hall.
The gallery, which is of the same type
as those in the national bureau Of identi-
cation headquarters, contains not a sin
gle portrait of the leading lights Of the
criminal profession, but is filled with
photographs of dead men, men serving long
sentences in penitentiaries and men who
long ago forgot the episode that brought
them before the camera and are now lead
ing good lives.
This gallery is the one to which persons
who have been victimized by confidence
men or other evil-doers are taken to
identify the portrait OF the man who did
it, Needless to say Identification seldom
is made.

MOVES IN MINNEAPOLIS

Presidents Decision.

RfeS1Oent'S DECISION.
From The Journal BurecaS. Room 45, Post
Building, Washington
Washington, Aug PA telegram was
received at department of justice to-day
from Judge Noyes announcing his arrival
at Seattle. So far as can be learned it
did not indicate whether the judge was
coming directly to Washington, although
the presumption is that he will. He has
been cited to appear before the circuit
court at San Francisco to answer charges
of alleged contempt in the Nome mining
cases and will have to appear there early
in September 1t is probable, therefore,
that he will lay his case before Attorney
General Knox and will then go to San
Francisco, thence to his home in Minneap-
oils to await the decision Of the president
on the charges made against him. At
torney General Knox is out of the city to-
day, but will return by Tuesday, so that
Judge Noyes can see hom here If he
comes straight through from Seattle. He
should arrive here Thursday or Friday of
next week.

car stopped at Spruce street to let
a middle-aged lady on, and as she took
her seat the conductor gave the mo-
torman two bells and the car shot
ahead. When the conductor entered
the car the woman in question was
looking out of the window and did
not see his outstretched hand
Fare, please!". remarked the con-
ductor.
The woman evidently did not hear
him. for she did not turn her head.
Neither did she hold out the necessary
coin.
Fare, pleased" said the conductor,
in louder tone.
But the woman paid no heed. Then
the conductor touched her on the
shoulder, and in a tone of vose that
rang through the car, exclaimed:
Your fare, please, lady!"
Then the woman turned hastily
around and looked at the conductor.
The knight of the bell cord gave one
gasp and fled to the back Platform.
The woman was his mother-in-law.

PROPER WAY TO FRY.
There Is Only One Way to Insure
Success and satisfac-
ton

A fair-sized basin should be filled
with good dripping for the cooks
use when frying, but if the dripping
be not available at the moment two
pounds of beef suet make an excel
lent substitute, says the Washington
Star.
When frying is required, put all
the dripping from the bath" into a
large iron saucepan without lid and
let it melt. At first the fat will
bubble and make noise, but it is
not fit to use until quite still and
quiet, with faint blue smoke ris-
ing from it. Put rissoles, outlets, po-
tato chips or whatever is to be fried
into a wire frying basket and then
plunge it into the fat, completely i'm
mersing the contents. This is the
great secret of success. The basket
has q handle by which it may be
lifted up to see how long to fry.
A very short time suffices for the
cooking of fish or meat like rissoles.
They should be taken out when a
golden brown, as they become little
darker afterward. Always put them
on crumpled kitchen paper in front
of the fire to drain and keep hot
while the others are frying. Only a
few can be cooked at once, as they
basket.
If one is frying outlets, it is better,
after cooking, for a few moments,
to draw the saucepan to the side of
the stove, thereby lowering the in
tense heat. Otherwise the outlets
might not cook thoroughly through,
but be overdone on the outside and
underdone inside.
Orange, apple or any kind of fritz
tiers may be cooked as above. The
moment the fat is finished with place
it, if possible, outside the house to
cool, as thus the fumes go off, no
smell remaining to pervade the house.
Then take strainer and strain the
fat back into the "bath," where it
remains. This fat can be used over
and over again and, with little drip
ping added now and then, should last
for a year. So there is no extrava-
gance in using plenty of fat every
time anything is fried.
Quantities of butter, lard and drip
ping are wasted by many cook who
throws all away every time she fries,
whereas, if the bath of fat" be kept
it is always ready for use in short
time and does it's work we'll. 1t fries
crisply and dryly instead of in the
greasy manner so often seen. The
faint blue smoke must be perceived
and waited for. Without that and a
complete absence of bubbling and
noise success will not be obtained.

FOR FEMININE READERS.
Notes of the Modes for the Perusal
of Those Who Follow the
Fashions in Dress.

Panne is to be as popular as ever
facing of coat revers, says a fashion
exchange.
The Louis XIII. collar is growing
conspicuous on all street costumes,
and it's broad expanse of lace seems
to be the first touch of spring.
Swiss muslins are very glossy, and
they come with lace stripes and
stripes of silk and stripes of swiss,
connected by hemstitching.
If cotton fabrics are used at all
they must be fine and sheer. The
silk and cotton, silk and linen mate
rails are to be very much used, the
first being semi-transparent and ex-
tremely dainty.
There is no doubt whatever that
the diminutive fancy jackets in Elton,
bolero, Mikado, French guard and
similar styles will be in marked
favor for the spring and summer
seasons.
A pretty idea for a white gown of
silk muslin or net is the use of white
satin ribbon an inch wide sewn
around the hem of the skirt in rows
an inch apart. Five or seven rows
are sufficient.
Three deep fiounces covering the
skirt from the hem to the knee are
set forth as one of the coming styles
for thin gowns, and they are fin
ished with a cluster of fine tucks
above the hem, or with lace inser-
tions and edges, or rows of narrow
ribbon.
Fashion has been loyal to the sep
arate waist, despite all the prophe-
cies in regard to it's downfall. 1t as
serts itself with more prominence
and attractiveness in each succeed

as any other item of dress. with no

For instance. when man goes into
a store or an office intending to remain
for minute or two only, he does not
take off his overcoat, although it is
generally necessary for him to unbut-
ton it. In nine cases out of ten when
he does go out on the street again he
neglects to button the top button of
his overcoat until chilly feeling at
the chest warns him that he is making
a mistake. Many men walk along the
street with the collar of their coat
turned up to protect the back of their
neck, buttseem to think that there is
no danger at all in leaving it unbut-
toned all the way down. They could
not make a more serious mistake.
Even with men in Office buildings,
passing from one floor to another

men constantly going in and out of
