KILLS HIMSELF.
After Wrecking "A Bank, It's Cashier,
Fearing Exposure, blows
Out His Brains.

St. Joseph, Mo-, Jan. 1.-THE State
bank, of Wathena, Kan, has been
wrecked and the business of the town
practically paralyzed as a result of the
acts of the cashier of the bank, jacob
F. Harpster, in using the funds of the
bank in mining and other speculations
that have turned out disastrously.
Harpster late Wednesday afternoon,
when State Bank Commissioner John
Breidenthal appeared to inspect the
books of the bank, endeavored to con-
ceal the true state of affairs. He failed.
Harpster entered an undertaking es-
adjustment and blew out his brains.
The crookedness of the cashier was a
complete surprise to the other officers
and stockholders of the bank. The eX-
act losses are unknown, but $4,000 is
known to have been absorbed in one
mining venture.

NANCY JoHNSoN'S CABIN.
Log Structure Being Erected by Sem
.eca Indians at the Buffalo
Exposition.

On the south bank of the lagoon
skirting the government building ac-
tive work is being done on the ten
acres of ground allotted to the Six
Nation exhibit, says the Buffalo EX-
press. At present there are three
Seneca Indians from the Tonawanda
reservation working on the old log
house which is to shelter Nancy john
son, herself, one of the most remark
Indian exhibit. Nancy Johnson is a
Seneca squaw who has reached the
age of 100 years. For the last 100 years
She has been resident of the Tona-
wanda reservation, and has lived in
the little log house which is now be-
ing put up on the exposition grounds.
One of the conditions upon which Mrs.
johnson consented to appear at the
exposition was that suitable provision
should be made for her shelter. Then
II was that the idea of transporting
her cabin to the grounds was con-
ceived. It Is not certain when the cab
in was first built, but ii was shortly
after the revolutionary war, and it is
estimated that the timbers in it were
hewed somewhat more than 100 years
ago. The sidewalks are composed of
huge, roughly cut logs of red beech,
and the roof is matched with elm
bark. The beech logs have attained
the hardness of iron, and when cut
take on polish like ebony. They are
thoroughly seasoned, and i'm appear

Santiago de Cuba, Jan. 21.-This
section of the island is suffering from
the severest cold known here for
years. Much distress has been caused
among the natives, who are entirely
without protection from the rigors OF
the climate. A temperature of 60 de-

COOKING AT GREAT HEIGHT.
Mean Level Worthless at
High Attitudes.

AS attempts are being made to
found domestic science and to intro
duce exactitude into the operations of
the kitchen, a note in the Monthly
Weather Review recording the actual
experience of a housekeeper at Albu-
querque, N. NJ, is of interest. 1t APP
pears that cooking recipes and prac-
tees which are trustworthy not far
from sea level are worthless at Al
buquerque, the altitude of which is
4,933 feet. Water boils there at 202
degrees Fahrenheit, instead of 212 de-
grees Fahrenheit; hence articles Of
food the cooking of which depends
upon heat applied through the medi-
UNI of water require a longer time for
cooking than is given in the cookery
books. On account of the extreme
dryness of the atmosphere, farina-
ceous food, such as beans, corn, etc,
lose 80 much Of their moisture that
they have to be left for long time
in water before cooking in order to be
softened; but the worst difficulty is
with cakemaking. Ordinary recipes
as to number Of eggs and amount Of
baking powder break down altogeth-
er, and housekeepers have to modify
them If they wish their operations
to be successful. AS the barometric
pressure determines to what extent
the disengaged carbon dioxide shall
expand and aerate the dough, this
may explain the different action Of
baking soda and egg batter. In any
case, the observation is interesting,
and chemists may find it worthy Of
| their attention.

mittee by Col. Mills, the superintend-
ent of the academy, and after read
ing the communication Gen Dick
said:
This voluntary act of the corps has so
impressed the committee that 1t has
every reason to believe that in spirit and
in letter it will be carried out by those
cadets who are now at the military acad-
envy. This action of the men is greatly
commended by the committee and will be
read by the country with feelings of mer-
tied appreciation"
Cadets Bettison, Mahaffey, Gray and
Atkins, the presidents and repre-
sentatiyes of the four classes, were
called before the committee and adj
dressed by Gen. Dick, who thanked
them for their action in abo.ishing
hazing at the academy and said that
congress would recognize and adopt
what they had done. The committee
then adjourned to meet again in
Washington at ten O'Clock this morn
ing.
The committee hold the next meet
ing in the room of the committee on
interstate and foreign commerce at
Tuesday morning. They expect to
make their report in about ten days.
and, it is said on good authority, they
will recommend that the number OF
tactica! officers at the West Point acad.
envy be increased. 1t is also said they
viii report that the deaths of former
Cadets Booz and Breth were not caused
by the hazing they received at West
Point. In the case of Booz, the testi.
mony showed that he was not very
strong at any time and, it is said. the
members OF the committee believe that
his health had been injured by his treat
ment at the hands of his fellow cadets
in the academy. At the same time, il
is claimed that the committee has
failed to discover any connection be
tween the swallowing of tobascO sauce
and the subsequent death of Booz from

WILL STOP HAzING.
Congressional Inquiry at West
Point Bears Fruit.

West Point, N. Y, Jan. 21.--Hazing
at West Point military academy is at
an end. The investigating committee
of congress, aided by the wide publ
cation Of the reports of the testi-
mony given at that trial, has brought
forth from the upper classmen of the
academy a voluntary letter affirming
that, owing to the feeling which is
evident throughout the country
against the practice of hazing, the
custom would be abandoned. This
communication is signed first by the
president of the first class and after
by the presidents of the classes of the
years following.
The letter, while announcing the
intention of the upper classmen to do
away with the customs which had
been prevalent in the institution for
many years, at the same time com
ments upon the fact that the aboh-
ton of the practice is approved not
because the cadets deem that aught
of Importance has been charged
against the system, but rather be-
cause it appears to be the opinion
of the American people as whole
that it be done away with. The text
of the letter is as follows:
West Point, N. Y. Jan. 10, l90i.-To the
Superintendent OF the United States Mill
tary Academy-Sir: Having become cog
INFANT of the manner in which the system
of hazing, as practiced at the military
academy, is regarded by the people of the
United States, We, the cadets of the
United States military academy. while
maintaining that we have pursued our
system from the best motives, yet realiZ-
ing that the deliberate judgment of the
people should in n country like ours be
above all other considerations, do reaf-
firm our former action abolishing the ex-
ercising OF fourth class men, and do
further agree to discontinue hazing. the
requiring of fourth class men to eat any
thing against their desire and the prac-
tice of calling out fourth class men by
class action, and that we will not devise
other similar practices to replace those
abandoned.
