Where there is the slightest suspicion
of harmful bacteria present In milk it
must be sterilized. This will not make
bad milk good, but 1t lessons the danger Of
using it.
TO sterilize milk for Immediate use,
all that is necessary is to heat the milk
in a double boiler to 100 degrees eFahren-
zheit, and keep 1t at that point for an
hour. AS soon as the milk has stood the
required hour, pour 1t sat once into a
ster1Iized pitcher and cool quickly. The
department OF agriculture Issues the fol-
lowing directions for sterilizing milk in
quantities: Zone or more bottles nearly
full Of milk are plugged with dry abb
sorbent cotton and placed In an upright
position In a vessel having a false bot
tom, and containing enough water to rise
above the milk In the bottles The vessel
is closed, placed on the stove and heated
until the water Is Is degrees Fahrenheit
in winter and $50 degrees Fahrenheit In
summer It Is then removed and kept
tightly covered for half hour. a heavy
cloth over the pail will help to retain the
heat. The milk bottles are then taken
out. cooled as quickly as possible by
cold water or ice. and kept In a cold
place. Milk thus prepared may be ex-
pected to keep twenty-four hours, and
should preferably be used within that
time. The cotton plugs should be kept as
dry as possible, and should not be removed
until the milk Is to be used. "A covered
tin pail answers very well for the larger
vessel. An inverted. perforated pie tin
may serve as the false bottom.

GIBBONS BOASTS THE
MILLS OF DIVORCE.
Husbands and Wives Separated I'm
der Most FIimsy Pretexts


der Most FIimsy Pretexts.
Baltimore. Feb. 1.-PreaChing at the
Cathedral on Christ, the Only En-
during Name in History and the Only
True Reformer of Society,"" Cardinal
Gibbons to-day sounded a note of
warning in a discussion of the grow
ing number of divorce mills.
Two thousand years ago" the Car
dinal said, pagan Rome had all of the
temporal blessings this country now
enjoys. The wealth of the nations
poured into her lap. Her empire eX-
tended over three continents. She far
excelled us in the arts, in oratory,
poetry, philosophy and literature and
in all of the refnements of cultivated
society. Her paintings and sculpture,
her literary productions, are still our
models. And yet, while she was in the
zenith of her material splendor, sh q
was in state of moral and political
decay.
There is a barbarism more dense
than the barbarism of the savage tribes
of the forest. For tie children of the
forest taught by the God of nature
adore the Great Spirit. l speak of a
Deli Ddilsl WHICH eliminates CrOu ana
an overruling Providence from the
moral government of the world, which
takes no account of a life to come and
of the responsibilities attached to 1t.
There is a social scourge more
blighting and more destructive of fam
lily life than Mormonism. 1t is the
fearfully increasing number of divorce
mills throughout the United States.
These mills, like the mills of the God,
are slowly, but surely, grinding the
domestic affairs of the nation. Hus-
band and wife are separated on the
most flimsy pretexts, and if the diff
ferent states of the Union were not
sufficiently accommodating in this re-
spect, South Dakota has the unenvi-
able distinction of granting a divorce
for the mere asking of it, on the sole
condition of brief sojourn within her
borders"

THIS MAY MEAN
ANOTHER COAL STRIKE.

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The scale
committee of the miners and operators
will meet again tomorrow to resume
consideration of the demands of the
miners for an increase of wages.
Expressions of opinion to-day indi-
cate that the session will be protract-
ed, and that if the miners insist on
the demands already made, no agree
ment will be reached, which will mean
a suspension of work on April l. Both
sides seem determined, and the oper-
ators say they will never yield to the
present demands. Many of them say
however, that the miners should have
some increase this year and that an
increase of 10 per cent. would be about
right.
w. S. Boyle head of the Indiana
operators, said tonight that whatever
increase the miners shall get, If they
get any, will have to be borne by the
consumer. He said that the only cost
of coal is the labor it takes to pro-
duce it.

1917 cents fiat, the run of mine basis,
the fat differential of cents per ton

portion to the advance of the mining

Legislation That n Forecast In
dicates As Probable.
Washington, Feb. 1.-The antitrust
bill, which was scheduled for early
consideration in the House this week,
will not come up until late in the week,
if at all, and possibly may be post
poned until next week. The friends of
the currency bill are exceedingly
anxious to get consideration for it, and
a rule has been prepared. If it finally
should be decided 10 allow the cur
rency bill to come in after the post
office appropriation bill is disposed of,
the antitrust bill would be shut out
this week.
The Democrats and Republicans
have been comforting about the limit
of the antitrust bill debate, and a
tentative agreement has been reached
to allow two days general debate on
the measure.
Tomorrow is suspension day, and a
number of minor matters, which ordi-
narily would be passed by unanimous
consent, but consideration of which is
blocked by the refusal of Mr.. Moore of
Tennessee to allow any bill to receive
unanimous consent until the Indian
Territory bill is considered, will be
acted on.
Tuesday has been set aside for con-
sideration of the thirteen claim bills
to which Mr.. Payne of New York OBJ
jected yesterday.

TROOPS CALLED UPON
TO MAINTAIN PEACE AND ORDER
IN WATERBURY.
THEY ARE OUT IN FORCE
BECAUSE GOVERNOR THOUGHT
THE NEED IMPERATIVE.

Streets of Waterbury Were Quiet
urdny, but Governor Chamberlain
Thought the Situation such as to
Demand the Presence of Troops.
Thirteen Companies and Two Gnt-
ling Guns Ordered to Waterbury.
Cars Were Run as Usual.
Waterbury. Conn, Feb. Eight
companies of the First Regiment, Con-
necticut National Guard. and Ave
companies of the Second Regiment,
with two Calling guns, were called to
Waterbury tonight at the command of
Gov. Chamberlain, because of the inn
perative need" occasioned by the troll
ley strike situation. The riot about the
streets last night, coupled with threats
of further disturbances tonight, led to
the call for troops.
There was no repetition to-day OF the
violence of last night. but crowds con-
gregated about the streets and had to
be dispersed by the police, while there
were rumors of an attack to be made
tonight on the car barn, where the
non-union motormen and conductors
brought here b. the Connecticut Rail-
way and Lighting Company are quar-
tered.
During the day all the lines were OPP
Grated as usual with the non-union
trolley men, but though there was
some hooting and jeering from the
crowds, the cars were not molested. No
cars were run after dark.
Gov. Chamberlain. when asked why
the militia had been ordered out. said:
Because the situation demands it.
l had hesitated about it. but every eff
fort has been made by the local au-
thorties in Waterbury to avert vio-
lence, and to-day it seemed apparent
that wisdom directed prompt and ener-
getic action If law and order and the
welfare of the city and state were to
be conserved"
Violence continued to-day, though no
serious damage was done. One of the
injured non-union motormen, who is in
| a serious condition. was ordered to be
removed to the hospital. Three nom
union men were on their way to the
hospital for stretcher, when mob OF
! several hundred men and boys assailed
them with rocks. The men ran and
| found refuge in the hospital. The mobs
surrounded the building and became so
threatening that the superintendent tel
ephoned to the police for protection.
Three officers were sent up, and they
succeeded in dispensing the mob but
when asked to escort the men back to
their barns. it is said they refused.
This evening a squad of officers ESCORT
ed them to the car barn.
About twenty non-union men have
been injured in the riots.

LEWIS IS PUT OFF
IN SEPARATE OFFICE.

Boston, Mass. Feb. Lewis. the
first Massachusetts negro to be APP
pointed United States assistant district
attorney, has been sworn in. and car
penters are at work building him a
cuddy-hole Office in the district attor-
ney's quarters. He Is to be put in the
part formerly given over to the mes
senger. There seems to be no room
for him. although no Interior reasons
are openly assigned. His salary will
be $1,000.
Much comment OF an unfavorabie
nature is heard on the creation of this
new position by the Washington au-
thorities, which is thought to have
been wholly unnecessary and simply a
sop to the South.

STATEHOOD BILLS TROUBLES.
Senator Quay VIII Try to Put an
End to Them.

End to Them.
Washington, Feb 1.-The omnibus
statehood bill will continue for the
present to hold it's place as the unfin-
ished business on the Senate calendar,
but it seems quite probable that the
discussion of statehood will come up in
connection with the appropriation bills.
Senator Quay has entirely changed
his tactics during the past week, and
after trying in vain to secure a quo
rum for night sessions on two different
occasions, has abandoned all efforts in
that direction, leaving the senators who
oppose the statehood bill to take the re-
sponsibility for delay. He now, appar-
emily, is the least concerned of all SEN
ators to secure late sessions. He makes
no confidants. but it is evident that it
is his purpose to make his fight in con-
nection with the appropriation bills,
and to. secure promises to vote for a
statehood rider to one of the appro-
priation bills.
Thus far there has not been delay
on any supply measure on account of
the statehood debate, but there will
be a decided effort to attach the
statehood amendment to the agricul-
tural appropriation bill. 1t is expect
ed that the amendment will be ruled
out on a point of order, in which event
there will be an appeal from the de-
cision of the chair.
1t is quite possible, however that
the question may be submitted to the
Senate without a ruling by the chair.
This plan has been pursued in other
cases and has been found to work
satisfactorily. The supporters of the
omnibus statehood bill intend to seek
to add the statehood bill to more than
one of the appropriation bills.
Senator Cullom will attempt to Sc
cure consideration of the Cuban treaty,
but until the statehood bill shall be
disposed Of all speculation as to what
may be done with other questions is
idle.

LARGELY UPON FRANCE
Settlement of the Difficulty Is Said
to Depend.

Washington, Feb. .1.-France has 1t
in her power to continue the deadlock
in the Washington negotiations, for,
while the other unallied claimants have
outstanding against Venezuela certain
unadjusted claims. all of the French
claims are in a very forward state.
France contends that so far from as
sisting her in the collection of her Ven
ezuelan claims. the blockade. if any
thing, has hampered her, in that it has
closed all the Venezuelan ports to COM
merce and has prevented, for the time
being, the collection of the Is per cent.
of the receipts pledged her by treaty
1t is the hope of the representatives
of the allies at Washington that in case
their governments accept in principle
the kind of compromise suggested, they
will not insist that the period for pref
erential payments be adopted so long
as to prevent its acceptance by the 9TH
err claimant nations.
Mr.. Bowen has been assured that the
representatives of the allies here will
give him a final answer at the earliest
possible moment. Meantime exchanges
are still in progress between the allied
governments, and their respective en-
bassies here in the effort to agree on a
plan of settlement that will be accepta-
BILE at once to Venezuela, and to the oc-
tagonal alliance of France, Belgium
Denmark Holland, Norway, Sweden
and the United States.
By his evident desire to take up the
negotiations at Washington with all
the speed consistent with prudence
and good form, Baron Speck Won
Sternburg has gained from the Wash
ington officials the same favor that
made him a popular member of the
diplomatic corps here many years ago.
The fact that he has asked permission
to waive the customary presentation
ceremonies, which ordinarily require
several days, he has convinced Mr.
Bowen and incidentally the Washing
ton government that Germany wants
the Venezuelan question settled with
all possible dispatch.

gate approximately $4,000 men, nearly

The department has on hand a large
reserve supply of rifles. almost sufti-
cient to equip the militia, but will rely
mainly on the product of the armories
as the officials prefer not to draw on
the reserve too heavily.

CASTRO WON'T DO IT
SAYS VENEZUELA WANTS EQUAL
TREATMENT
FOR ALL CREDITOR NATIONS.
MAKES THIS ANSWER TO THE AL
LIES DEMANDS.

mnnd for Preference-CastrO An

Caracas, Feb. lin reply to Minis
ter Bowens inquiry as to what Ven
ezuela intends to do regarding the de-
mand for preferential treatment made
by the allies, President Castro has
telegraphed:
THE Venezuelan government desires
equal treatment for all the creditor ma
tons in Europe and America, keep
ing in mind, in addition, it's diplomatic
conventions and anterior stipulations."
The French legation has notified the
Venezuelan government that by virtue
of the convention of 1867 France was
allowed to collect directly part of the
revenues of several customs houses in
Venezuela as a guarantee for her dip
lomatic claims arising out of the pre-
vious revolutions. France. it is said,
renowned forever by a subsequent
convention the exercise of this right,
on condition that the interest on this
debt should always be regularly paid.
AS this payment has not been made,
France, without asking the authorize
ton of Germany, England and Italy,
intends to revive her right of direct
collection. The French charge daft
flares, M. Quievreux, has paid visits
to the foreign minister and has twice
called on President Castro during the
past forty-eight hours.
This activity on the part of France
is evidently in connection with her in
tention to revive her rights, and is
considered as an answer to the atti-
tude adopted by the allied Powers.

COMPROMISE SUGGESTED.
Plan by Which the Differences May
be Adjusted.


Washington, Feb. propositions in
volving a compromise of the allied Pow
ers' contention for preferential treat
ment in the settlement of their claims
against Venezuela, have been submitted
to the governments of Great Britain,
Germany and Italy by their represen-
tatives at Washington, and while no
answers have been received as yet,
there is reason for the belief that the
allies will see a way to accept the lat
est proposition.
This compromise has been suggested
by one of the representatives here and
while it has not formally received the
Endorsement of Minister Bowen, it is
felt that he will not enter serious OBJ
lection to it's adoption, provided the
United States and the other claimant
nations outside the alliance can be con-
WINGED that their own interests in Ven
ezuela will not be substantially injured
by yielding to a plan which seems to
offer a solution of the present serious
hitch in the Washington negotiations.
The details of the proposition now
under consideration by the three al
lied nations are not obtainable, but In
general way it is understood to be
modification of the allies contention that
they be recognized as Venezuelas pre-
ferred claimants in the payment of the
indemnity. The plan suggested pro-
vides that for a short period, perhaps
six months or a year. Great Britain,
Germany and Italy shall receive ex-
clusively 30 per cent. of the customs
receipts of the ports of Puerto Cabello
and La Guayra, and that at the end
Of this period, the other nations be
placed on the same footing, and that
then the 30 per cent of the receipts OF
these two ports be divided among all
the claimant nations in ratio based on
the amount of each nations claim.
The plan is regarded as a compro-
mise which will enable the allies to
withdraw their ships from Venezuelan

WANT TO SELL SHIPS.
Argentina and Chill Make an Oher
to the United states.

Washington, Feb. Both Argentina
and Chill, through their respective
ministers in Washington. have pro-
posed to the United States the pur-
chase by this government of the ar
mored cruiser and battleships the two
South American countries have under
construction in Europe.
BY treaty signed several months
ago, Argentina and Chill each agreed
not to increase it's naval strength,
and to a limited extent to adopt a
disarmament policy. At the time the
treaty was consummated several
months ago Argentina had two armor-
ed cruisers under construction in Italy
and Chilli two battleships under con-
struction in England. The cruisers are
to be of 5000 tons each and to have
speed of p knots. The battleships are
to be of 1900 tons displacement and
81 knots speed. Under the terms of
the treaty both countries have to
cease this construction. and they. ac-
cordingly desire to sell them.
