AS TO COMMENCEMENT GIFTS.

Now that the commandments are all
over and there is no possibility of
such a suggestion being made for per-
soual reasons, the REGISTER wishes to
enter its protest against the practice
OF the public presentation of flowers or
books or any other kind of presents to
graduates
In every graduating class in Kan
sas, whether in the district school, the
high school or the University, there
will always be the children of the poor,
children whose parents and whose
friends are poor. For these parents
or friends to present expensive bou-
quets or other gifts will often entail
real sacrifice: and the omission ST such
gifts. under the present order OF
things, will mean modification and
grief to the child.
There can benO possible objection, of
course, to the private presentation OF
gifts, if parents or friends wish to
show in that way their pride and sat
isfacton with the progress made by
the student; and gifts thus presented
cannot fail to be more highly valued,
for the cipient will be assured that
they are the offerings OF love and not
of vanity. But there is no possible
good purpose served by piling flowers
and books and gold watches and
things about the feet of the graduates
as they sit on the stage, and the
practice ought to be discontinued.

The denial of the injunction asked
for by Lone Wolf does not necessarily
mean that the attempt to delay the
opening of the Kiowa and Apache
lands to settlement is at an end. JuGge
Springer, the attorney for Lone Wolf,
is quoted as saying that he win employ
every legal device available to dAay
and il possible defeat the opening.
Wednesday he filed with the president
a request for postponement OF the
opening date six months to give con-
gress an opportunityto repeal the law.
There is little doubt that this request
will be refused. If granted, there is
no reason to believe that congress
would repeal the act. Judge Springer
understands all This perfectly we'll,
but he is resorting to dilatory tactics
to accomplish what cannot be done in

ton for injunction is to be appealed tc

this policy.

CAPTAINS FEAR THE
DELAWARE CHANNEL

Philadelphia North American. June 9Th.
Under the most favorable conditions
and with the tide a steamship may run
from Philadelphia to the sea in eight
hours. The port statistics, however,
for the month of May show that few
Vessels accomplished this feat. There
were % steamships, clearing for foreign
ports, which, owing to their draught,
required two and sometimes three tides
to make the short run OF 101 miles, and
in ono instance a vessel was 30 hours
90 route.
The majority of these ships were
under time charter. Their time is so
valuable to their owners that it is esti.
mated ut 81. 900 per day after they have
cleared. Shipping men say it is easy
to figure that heavy loss was caused
by the delay. This item OF loss becomes
a potent factor, in view of the low ocean
freight rates.
Grain freights are down to 2s., Cd.
per quarter, or eight bushels. 1t is cal
culated that at this rate the freight
gives small margin for profit on the
voyage. The trip is usually made to
Cork and is based on 20 days for the
passage. III the ship Ia out 81 days, SO
close has profit and loss been fstimHt-
ed, the owners will make nothing. An
enforced delay of "a hours In the Della
ware is said to be sufficient to throw
the balances on the wrong side oil the
tramp steamships books.
Captains of the latter class, OF craft
are emphatic 10 their condemnation OF
the Delaware River channel. They
have never criticised the pilots, but
they have no assurance that their
vessels will reach the sea in safety,
these masters declare. Since the recent
movement for a deeper channel was
started the pilots have been endeavor-
ing to call attention to the intricate
nature of their work. In this assertion
they are supported by tramp captains.

mental rule Of his profession. .'nnt to

The Rhode Island Society for the
Promotion of Industry many years ago
gave the first premium on domestic
bread to Mrs. Hiram Hill. Of PFovi-
dence. The following was Mrs. Hills
recipe for making the bread exhibited by
her: For two loayes OF the ordinary size.
take two potatoes, pare them, slice very
thin, and boil quick until quite soft; then
mash it to fine pulp, and add, little by
little, two quarts of boiling water. stir
ring until starch is formed; let this cool,
aud then add one-thnd of acup Of yeast.
This forms the sponge, which should re-
main in a moderately warm place for
ten or twelve hours, or over night, until
it becomes very light and frothy, even
lie a little sour, it is Of no consequence.
When the sponge is ready, add -four.
and work it until you have formed q
stiff, firm mass The longer and more
firmly this is kneaded, the better the
bread. Let the kneaded mass remain
say from half to three-quarters II an
hour to rise, then divide into pans,
where it should remain, say fifteen min
utes; care being taken that 1t does not
rise too much and crack; then pnt the
loaves into quick oven, and bake, say
three-quarters of an hour. II the oven
is not hot enough. the bread will rise
and crack: If too hot, the surface will
harden too rapidly. and contine the
bread.
