MORE BOER CONFERENCES.
Something Evidently Doing in the
Peace Line at Brussels.

Brussels. Jan. 19.-Dr. Leyds, the
European representative of the Trans
vaal, and the Boer delegates, met
again to-day at some mysterious rem
devious. DR.. Leyds now denies him
self to everybody.
1t is asserted that DR.. Kuyper, the
Dutch Premier. on his return to The
Hague from London, had a conference
with Mr.. Wolmarans, one of the Boer
delegates who sent another delegate
to consult with Mr.. Kruger, and that
another meeting will be held next
Monday.
In spite of Boer denials, a strong
feeling exists here that some peace
movement is afoot between Great
Britain and the Boer delegates, but
that there is difficulty at arriving at
any acceptable basis for terms, Mr..
Kruger and Mr.. Leyds being reluc-
tant to commit themselves. 1t is
said in Boer circles here that a num-
ber of Englishmen, supposed to be
officials of the British government, ar
rived at The Hague under assumed
names last Saturday. and later were
entertained at dinner by the British
minister there.

to-day as Kerns, the alleged New York
jewelry thief. Mr.. Thebaud and Detec-

Sheriff Marrero said that he thought
the officers and other captors in his

deserving but would fix no figure. 1t is
said $4,000 was asked.

LITTLE BUSINESS IN HOUSE.

Matter OF luterSSs'
Washington. Jan. 19.-The calendar
of the House of Representatives is still
rather meagre in important bills, so
that there does not promise to be
heavy pressure of business during the
coming week. Monday is the regular
suspension day. but there are few
measures likely to be passed by sus-
pension Of the rules. The urgent de-
fciency appropriation bill will occupy
most of the time during the first few
days of the week. 1t carries a total
Of $751; 900, which is rather large for
a deficiency measure, and it is expected
that two days will be occupied in its
consideration. Beyond this there is
practically no programme for the week,
as the bills ready for consideration are
not of sufficient Importance to secure
definite time in advance, except in the
ease of the Hill bill, for the exchange
aoiity of silver and gold. 1t will be
some time before opinion is sufficiently
natured on this measure to induce the
ieaders to set time for consideration.

Mrs. Hawkins had not been pres
ent during my interview with Mr.:
Holmes. She had been tending to
the baking, and I went out with Mr..
Holmes to see how the baking was
done. She had long wooden
shovel in her hand-1 call it a shovel

er name-and She was showing it in
to great oven, slipping it under the
cake tins and pulling them out, to
tell, as only an expert can, whether
they were done or not. | have an
impression that a visit from Presi-
dent Roosevelt, accompanied by his
friend, the German emperor, would
not have diverted Mrs. Hawkins
from her close attention to the bak-
ing, and it's this habit of concentra-
ton that you find in Edison, Mozart,

and gives me a confidence in Mrs.

pump church organs with, and there
by caused the great oven to reyolve.
This oven bakes one hundred and
forty pies, Of the largest size, at a
time,' said Mrs. Hawkins, "and It
takes two men to run it, one man to
put in the pies, and one to take them
out" and she reminisced Of the day
when this great baking enterprise
had its birth in the little gasoline
stove, and in the genius of baking a
thousand pies and a thousand cakes
as well as she bakes one, for the po-
tentiality Of great growth and perma-
nent prosperity for this pie-baking
enterprise is in the moral character,
which is the keynote of the under
taking, making the baking of five
thousand pies just as perfect a pro-
cess as the baking Of one pie, and
each one of those FIVE thousand pies

Sweet Potato Pie.

Boiling is a part Of the process
Of making a pie. There is a separate
place for this, a cook house, with
great copper double kettles. Around
these kettles the steam makes an
even temperature, SO that there is no
scorching where the boiling OF the
ingredients is done, whichever they
call it. Here they were cooking
large quantities Of sweet potatoes,
for 3weet potato pie is one Of the

judge, every day was cleaning up

scrubbing that was going on this
Monday afternoon I am writing

A colored man was on his knees
in a sea of white soap-suds, scrub
bing the floor for dear life, and I had

floor that it was clean enough to eat
