HOUSEHOLD SUGGESTIONS.
a Variety of Information for the Ref
exence Book of the Busy
Housewife.

The sets of English muffin plates are
excellent for use in the service of
cereals or breakfast fruits. Pretty
sets are shown in many decorations,
one in cream ground, with punches of
pink clover, being specially pretty,
says the New York Post.
An attractive entertainment to give
in cottage settlement of friends is
an old-fashioned tea party. The girls
are asked to come, bringing their
work, at four o'clock The men ar
rive at six, when supper is promptly
served. This meal is spread upon the
table sail at once" in lavish profu-
sion, of fried chicken, cold ham and
tongue, hot biscuits, waf1es and maple
sugar, berries and cream, "cut-up'
peaches, and several sorts of rice cake.
A fiddler and country dances follow the
feast.
A rice salad is sufficiently substan-
tia1 to serve as the chief dish at
luncheon in warm weather. To make
it, cover cupful of rice with one quart
of water, adding a teaspoonful OF salt;
boil ten minutes, transfer to double
boiler, add two cupfuls cold milk, cover
and steam till milk is absorbed. While
hot sprinkle with half teaspoonful
each of salt and paprica, and pour
into ring mold that has been creased
with oil or butter. When cold, turn
out on a bed of lettuce, and fill the
center with one-half c1pful each of
beets, carrots, asparagus and green
peas Mix with French dressing. Mask
the rice with the mayonnaise dressing,
colored a. pale green, and serve.
The little medicine case that the
average traveller now counts among
his necessary edimerta is most use
full when fitted out by the family ply
stefan who knows ones constitution
and the remedy and size of dose re-
quired for all simple ailments. This is
particularly true if ones itinerary in
cludes European trip. The ways of
foreign doctors are so different from
ours that they do not always beget
confidence.
The best cooking experts seem now
to agree that cucumbers, to- be safe
eating, should be cut thin and lie in
water with salt sprinkled over them
rather thickly. This will draw out
their poison, and immersion in ice wa
ter for Is minutes before they are to
be served will restore their crisp fresh
ness. Dress with French dressing,
to which little cayenne is added.
Pure grape juice, q delicious and
healthful drink, is as, good hot as cold.
It should be mixed for this service half
and half with hot water. with bit Of
orange or lemon peel added. A. few
cloves, perhaps one to each cupful,
STEPPED with it, add to the flavor.
Small dressing clocks are now
shown in gun metal. Some set with
bril1iants or with a design picked out
in gold are very beautiful, and, it may
be added, expensive.

SLAUGHTER OF THE TEACHERS
Four Ambushed Near Cebu-Enquiry
Reveals Tragedy.


Four Ambushed Near Cebu-Enquiry
Reveals Tragedy.
MANILA, Aug. 13.-An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear up
the facts in the killing of Cebu coach
ing party of four schooltea cheers shows
that the party was ambushed twelve
miles from Cebu. Two teachers were
shot and killed at the first volley, a
third, who ran, was shot in the back,
and fourth, who was captured, was
shot in the chest while he was praying
for mercy.
IN is suspected that the fourth man
was buried alive, as his wound was
slight and probably would not have
caused death. Dogs dug up two bodies
and devoured the flesh. 1t is believed
that sufficient evidence has been Sc
cured to convict all the participants in
the crime
The bodies of these teachers were
found on July "a, after the teachers
had been missing since June TO- The
police killed the leader of the band of
murderers and captured eight other al

story OF German Princes Love For
Miss Deacon Not Doubted.
BOSTON, Aug. 13.-The announce
ment from Paris that Miss Gladys
Deacon, daughter of the late Edward
Parker Deacon, is the object of affec-
ton of the crown prince of Germany
does not cause great surprise among
those who knew her and her parents
when they resided in Boston. Since
her birth Miss Gladys has been here
very little. She was educated in
france and lived there most of the
time.
Those who saw her on her occasional
visits, however, are loud in praise of
her beauty. She has been much in the
company of royalty when abroad hav-
ing been taken about by the Duchess
of Marlborough. Once when she was
stopping at Blenheim the crown prince
of Germany was visitor, and the af-
lection which it is said that the prince
now has for her may have commenced

EXTRA SESSION LIKELY.

Senate May BE Called In November
to Ratify Cuban Treaty.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Advices
received here indicate that President
Roosevelt will call the senate in ex-
Eaordinary session early in November.
Ever since it became evident that
nothing would be accomplished as to
reciprocity with Cuba at the recent
session OF congress rumors of a more
or less definite nature have been in cir
culation that the president would call
an extra session, either Of the entire
congress to enact Cuban reciprocity
legislation or of the senate to ratify,
If possible, a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba.
During the past week it has been
stated that it was the purpose of Pres
ident Roosevelt to call special ses-
sion OF the senate as early as Sep-em-
Der. It can be stated by authority that
he has no such intention. His time
and that OF. many members of both po-
litical parties will be completely occu-
pied during September and October.
It is understood TO be the belief of
the president that session of the SEN
ate held for the purpose of ratifying
reciprocity treaty with Cuba would
be much more likely to be fruitful of
results if it is held after the November
elections than if it were held before.
a treaty with Cuba practically has
been prepared. 1t requires only the
finishing touches and the signatures
of Minister Quesada and Secretary of
State Hay to make it ready for pres
entation to the senate.

The Panama Hat.

According to a New York dealer
the market is flooded with Peruvian
Panamas.. They are woven in Peru,
Bolivia and Ecuador from the fbers
of the palm, which are kneaded like
flax before they are woven. Then
the hats are shipped to Paris, where
they go through a process which
gives them stiffness and gloss. After
5ourneying to Paris the hats are
shipped to New York and sold for
Sits. Some of them are reb1eached
and generally Americanized, in
which case they are sold for five doll
lars. A really good Panama can be
purchased in the shops this year for
SIS, whereas ones pocket was made
$25 lighter by the same article last
year. The modish persons in New
York, it is said, are not purchasing
Panamas this year, however. The
Panama is growing too cheap to be
exclusive any longer, and the sWag-
ger set has dropped it.

4 REAL LIVE TRILBY
Strange Story Of Hypnotism
After Hasty Marriage.
WIFE SANG At HUSBANDS COMMAND
Young Watkins Had Only to Say y
Word to the Girl He Married and
She Burst Into Melody Like
Du Maurier'a Heroine.

NEWARK, N. J., Aug. 13.-Word
has reached the parents of Philip Dore-
mus Watkins, who reside in this city,
that residents of Los Angeles and es-
pecially the father of Miss Maud
Schonfeldt OF Omaha, whom Watkins
married on a railroad train a few
weeks ago, believe that the young man
Is a hypnotist and that he reacted with
her some of the famous scenes of ''Tril-
by" The young woman's father, Hen
ry SchonfeIdt, also believes that Wat
kins, who is now in trouble because of
the checks circulated to defray his
wedding journey, used hypnotic in1u-
ence in getting the girl to marry him.
A copy of the Los Angeles Times
which has reached the mother of the
young man says:
Now GENES the story, vouched for
by the people about the hotel, which
confirms the suspicion that Watkins
was exercising hypnotic influence over
his Omaha bride. Several times while
entertaining society at the Arcadia
Mrs. Watkins was requested to sing.
Usually she begged to be excused.
Then Watkins would urge her, and she
would begin the rendition of For All
Eternity always the same song, and
she sang in voice full of genuine sad
ness, which, instead of causing her
auditors to wonder seeing that she
was bride-only made them marvel
ar what they supposed her dramatic
powers.
Always, it is now remembered, she
would sbreak down in the middle of the
song and, weeping softly, retire from
the room. While her audience was still
mystified Watkins would follow and
bring her back, gently enough, it
seemed, but firmly, and she would re-
sumo and finish the ballad. One of the
patrons heard him order her sharply
as he overlook her in the hallway to
return to the ballroom, but he sup
posed it was part of the novel enter
tainment
1T was remarked several times how
like the scenes of 'Trilby' were these,
but still nobody suspected. Now they
believe it was the enactment of sTril-

NO L ROAD TIEUP
Manhattan Engineers and

DEMAND FOR NINE HOUR DAY GRANTED
Manager of Elevated Lines Makes q
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Grew Out OF

NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-There will
be no tieap of the elevated roads. Aft
er two hours conference late yester-
day between Alfred Skitt, vice presi-
dent of the Manhattan Railway COM
pany, and the dissatisfied engine driv-
ers and firemen it was announced that
the company had conceded to the men
nine hour day, and the men in turn
waived the demand that a days run
should not be more than ninety miles.
After the meeting the men smilingly
declared that it would be impossible to
make more than eighty-five miles in
nine hours They considered their vic
tory complete and said that practically
every demand they had made had been
granted.
Mr.. Skitt declined to discuss the mat
ter on behalf of the company, but gave

The questions mentioned by Mr..

TUCSON, Ariz., Aug. 13.-El Correo
de Sonora brings an account Of dar-
ing holdup of a stage near Mazatlan,
Mexico, by three masked men, sup
posed to have been outlaws. The rob-
bers secured $4,000 and made good
their escape with the plumber. Mariana
Gordillo, the driver, attempted to whip
up the horses and was shot dead. The
stage was full, but the passengers
were unmolested. A shipment of $4,000
to bank at Mazatlan was the booty
the robbers were after, and when they
secured this they allowed the stage to
proceed.

IMPROVING POOR MEMORY.
The VIII Must Be Brought to Rear
Upon 1t. and 1T Must BIO
Exercised.

Memory does not fail except in
loss Of all the faculties; simply gets
weak and, languid for want of use
just as the physical organs do, says
the ST. Louis Republic.
People often say, MY memory is
falling" when it is really as good as
ever, if they would give it chance.
A word, a date, name, an incident
comes up-or, rather, fails to come
up-when you want it. There seems
to be no possible way of remember
ing it. You make two or three eff
forts, give up and say:
There's no use; it's gone from
me-"
just as much as it ever was, only
there are lot of things over it.
Keep at work; bring your will to
bear upon it; try and try, and after
awhile you can get it.
And, better, you will find that the
exercise required in remembering it
will help you next time, and that a
little toll and determination put to-
gether will accomplish wonders in
the whole range of the faculties.
Look over your memory, see where
you are most deficient and exercise
it in that respect. You can do it at
any odd time-while you are walk
ing, riding, resting after days
work. or listening perforce to dull
speaker. Don't let few failures dis
courage you. The long corridors of
recollection, lined upon both sides
with valuable material, will be
opened for you because of your inn
portunity, if you use it.

He was forced to take his chances, alternately working throt- tie and brake ill hope that the trouble would be remedied.
