INvENTs ARMY RATION.
Mrs L. o. Person, of Chicago, Patents a
Condensed Pork and Bean Biscuit
Which Attracts Attention.

Chicago, April 19.-Mrs. L. o. Fer
son has invented a condensed food,
or emergency ration. which is said to
possess great merit. The japanese
government has negotiated for a sup
ply, and the Russian government also
has investigated the food. Lieut..
Evelyn Baldwin has ordered 10000
pounds of it for use on his polar ex-
petition, while the United States gov
eminent, Mrs. Person expects, will
give it test. The new condensed
food, Mrs. Person explained last night,
is a simple compound of pork and
beans, compressed into cake. I'm
like pemmican and other compressed
foods, there is nothing at all unpleas-
ant in it's appearance, the inventor
says, and it is not unpalatable. Mrs.
Person is a graduate of Vassar, and
prior to coming to Chicago resided at
Council Bluffs, Ia.

PLAN NEW BRIDGE.
Eastern Capitalists Buy Winner Piers at
Kansas City and VIII Erect Three
Deck Structure Across AIIsourI River.

Kansas City, Mo-, April 19.-The
Winner bridge piers across the Mis-
souri, rivere here, and all of the prop
erty of the Kansas City & Atlantic
Railway company were sold under
mortgage at Harlem for 100000 to
Theodore C. Bates, of Worcester, Mass.
After the sale has been confirmed
Mr.. Bates will go ahead with his long
cherished plan of completing the
bridge and building union depot in
the north end. The syndicate of
which Mr.. Bates is the head has gained
possession of some extremely valua-
BILE railroad and terminal property,
but it will be improbable to the syn
dictate unless it is improved and put
on a going basis. Mr.. Bates says that
the bridge can be finished in six
months after the contract is let and
the new company proposes to let the
contract this summer. On one point
Mr.. Bates is positive-the bridge is
to be finished soon. Plans have been
prepared for three-deck steel super.
structure for the piers. The super
structure will cost 81 1000, 900 and will
have a draw span. The bridge will
have two tracks for steam railroads,
a 2S-foot roadway for vehicles and
street car lines and a separate pas
sageway for foot passengers.

SWEPT OVER A CLIFF.
snowsIide Near Ward, Col, Caused the
Death of Four Men and the Severe
Injury of Three Others.

Ward, Col, April 2O.-An unavoid-
able delay in the delivery of a mes
sage from the superintendent of the
road to "snow buckers'' caused the
death of four men and the severe in
jury of two others yesterday after
noon. Two 8O-ton locomotives with
snow pillow ahead were steadily "buck-
ing dense blockade. An hours
work convinced the men that nothing
could be gained by keeping up the
useless fight and word was sent to
General Manager Culbertson, at Boul-
der, requesting instructions. While
Operator Clark was still on his way
from the station with the orders
from the general manager to return
to Boulder and. not attempt further
work, huge slide of snow became
loosened high above the putting en-
gines and plunged down with great
momentum. The mass struck the lit
tie train almost on a curve near the
Big Five mine. The track is here sit
uated on sheer cliff with a drop to
the mine tracks below of nearly 200
feet. Over this cliff the pillow, the
two engines and seven men were
swept. Four of the men were killed
and three injured.

BR1rAIN's BALANCE SHEET.
Yearly Budget Shows Net Deficit in the
Revenues of Over S2OO,OOO,OOO-
Increased Estimate.

London, April 19.-The exceptional
interest taken in this years budget
statement was evidenced by the
crowded condition of the house of
commons when it reassemb1ed Thurs
day, and testified to the deep interest
of the public in the fresh taxation
proposals required to meet the expend-
itures of 19O1-1902, which, according to
a parliamentary paper, totals e1s7,-
6O2,O 1000, inclusive of war charges, this
being an increase of 6 80 ,9O1, 900 over
last year. The national balance sheet
for 19O0-1901 as shown by the same
paper stands as follows: Revenue,
6 100, 1856, 900; expenditures, e183, 592.
900. Net deficit, 6 53,2O7,O 900.
The chancellor of the exchequer,
in presenting the budget, proposed to
suspend the sinking fund and borrow
6 6O,OO0,O00. In noting that the yield
from the income tax was e1,15O,OOO
above the estimate, the chancellor
remarked that in 10 years the income
on which taxation was paid had in
creased by no less than $12O,O00,OOO,
a fact that he hoped the house would
remember.

Washington, April 2O.-The admin

channels that strong movement is
setting in among Cubans to make
Tomas Estrada Palma the first presi-
dent of the Cuban republic. This sug-
gestion is eminently satisfactory to
the United States government. Sc
nor Palma was the head of the Gu

quarters in New York city and WASH

the United States and Spain. He
handled the affairs of the Cuban rev.

KITCHEN WASTES.
Best Way TIC Dispose of Refuse That
Cannot Be Cremated in
the stove.

In a village where there is no ASH
man the disposal of kitchen wastes as
well as ashes is always a vexed ques-
ton. Kitchen refuse which pig will
not consume cannot be burned or ere
mated by the quantity in the country
as it is in the city, where refuse is care
fully separated, and what is of no 9TH
err use is burned. 1t is injurious to
burn moist waste in the kitchen range
or furnace. 1t requires an extrava-
CANT use of coal to do so, and it pro-
duces very disagreeable odor. The
odor of burning garbage is so intoler-
able that it is strictly prohibited IN
villages where the houses are near to-
gether, says the New York Tribune.
In the country, where there is room,
the best way of disposing of any
waste, like bones, old woolens or any
thing that shows by it's odor when
burning that it contains nitrogen, is
to bury it in a deep pit for fertilizer.
Almost anything but metal can be
treated in this way, and if each time
consignment of waste is buried it is
covered with twice as much wood
ashes as there is waste and garbage
and about five times as much earth, 1t
gives no evidence of itself. It should
be buried about year, and when it is
thoroughly rotted in this way it will
make a good fertilizer. If there are
not enough wood ashes about the
premises, mix one part of quicklime
and one part of common sal soda in
every five parts of waste, and five
times as much soil as there is waste.
The amount of kitchen waste to be dis
posed of in a family is not large if dry
sitter" about the grounds is burned.
The wastes treated as we have said
will make an excellent fertilizer for
the flower garden, and yields wonders
of bloom and fragrance for very little
trouble. Soil must be very literally
mixed with this compost when it is
dug up, for it is too rich for ordinary
fertilization.

SIX YEARS OF DROUGHT.
Whole Districts of Australia Have Been
Depopulated and 100000 Sheep
Have PerIshed.

London, April 19.-It is unfortu-
nately not true that the great sig
years drought in Australia has bro
ken up. Rain has fallen in many parts
of New South Wales, but only scant-
lily, and in central Queensland and the
north and northwestern portions of
New South Wales the drought is still
as severe as ever. In the meantime
the sheep industry in Queensland
has been brought to desperate pitch.
Runs of 100000 sheep have been re-
duced to 5000, and whole townships
have been depopulated. Many sta
tions in Queensland and New South
Wales have had no rain for two
years. and the. sheep have been re.
duced in six years by some 100000.

AGGIE SAYS QUIT.
Insurgent Leader Issues an Address
to His Formsr Followers.
By Accepting the Sovereignty of the United
States in the Philippines Aguina1do
Believes He Is Serving His
Country.

Washington, April 20.-The follow
ing is Aguinaldo's address, issued at
Manila to the Filipino people, and
made public yesterday evening:
1 believe I am not in error in presum.
ing that the unhappy fate to which my
adverse fortune has led me is not a sur
prise to those who have been familiar
with the progress of the war. The les
sons taught with q full meaning, and
which have recently come to my knowl-
edge, suggest with irresistible force that
a complete termination OF hostilities and
lasting peace are not only desirable, but
absolutely ESSENTIAL to the welfare of the
Philippine islands.
The Filipinos have never been dismayed
at their weakness, nor have they faltered
in following the path pointed out by their
fortitude and courage. The time has
come, however, in which they find their
advance along this path to be impeded
by an irresistible force which, while it
restraints them, yet enlightenS their
minds and opens to them another course,
presenting them the cause of peace. This
cause has been joyfully embraced by the
majority of my fellow-countrymen who
have already united around the glorious
sovereign banner of the United States.
In this banner they repose their trust and
belief that under its protection the Fill
Pine people will attain all those promised
liberties which they are beginning to en-
JOY The country has declared unmistak-
ably in favor of peace. So be it. There
has been enough blood, enough tears and
enough desoiation. This wish cannot be
ignored by the men still in arms If they
are animated by a desire to serve our no.
BILE people, which has thus clearly mani
tested it's will. So do respect this will,
now that it is known to me.
After mature elaboration 1 resolutely
proclaim to the world that I cannot re-
fuse to heed the voice of a people longing
for peace or the lamentations Of thou
sands of families yearnng to see their
dear ones enjoying the liberty and the
promised generosity of the great Ameri-
can nation.
By acknowledging and accepting the
sovereignty of the United States through
out the Philippine archipelago, as I now
do and without any reservation what
soever, I believe that 1 am serving thee,
my beloved country. May happines be
thine.
To signalize this important step in
the pacification of the country Gen.
Macarthur ordered the release, on
swearing allegiance to the United
States, of 1000 insurgent prisoners.
