THE BAKERS THERMOMETER.

Bakers have a curious way of tell
ing just what the temperature of the
oven is" said baker who had been
in the business for more than quar-
ter of century, land they can tell,
too, with almost marvellous accuracy.
You take man who is an expert in
the business, and he can tell what the
temperature of the oven is by simply
touching the handle of the oven door.
In nine cases out of ten he will not
miss it to the fraction of a degree.
Bakers have other ways, of course, OF
testing the heat of the oven. For in
stance, when baking bread they some
times throw little cornmeal flour in
to the oven in order to test the heat
But the bakers fingers are the best
gauge, and when you come to think or
the different temperatures required in
baking different things, it is no small
achievement to even approximate the
heat of the oven by touching the han
die of the oven door.
Bakers figure that during the ris-
ing time of loaf of bread, after it
has been placed in the oven, it ought
to be in temperature of rs degrees
Fahrenheit. During the baking pro-
cess, in order to cook the starch, ex-
pand the carbonic acid gas, air and
steam and drive off the alcohol, the in
side of the loaf must register at least
22O degrees. In baking rolls, buns,
scenes, tea biscuits, drop cakes, fancy
cakes, New York cakes, mullins, puff
cakes and things of that sort the oven
must show a heat of $50 degrees or
higher. When the oven is at 400 de-
grees. it is fit for cream puffs, sugar
cakes, rock cakes jumbles, lady fin
gers. rough and ready and jelly rolls.
At $50 degrees wine cake, cup cakes,
ginger nuts and snaps, pies, ginger
bread, spice cake, such as raisin, cur
rant, citron, pound bride and so on,
may be baked 1t requires still low
er temperature to bake wedding cakes,
kisses, anise drops and things in this
class. But whatever the temperature
the old baker wants he can tell when
he has it by simply touching the han
die of the oven door. New Orleans

be submitted to a vote of the people
the franchise shall in that case not
become operative until it shall be de-
cided at special or the next NUM-
cipal election. Senator Hudnall brought
in a substitute bill which provides for
the appointment of a capitol commits
sion of six, including the governor,
made up in the same way as the COM
mission which directed the construc-
ton of the state historical library, and
II carries an appropriation of $150,000.
The commission is to investigate the
best plan for making the improve
ments in the state house and sets aside
$4,000 for the employment of archi-
tects. Senator Roehr said he was
opposed to expanding any more money
on the capitol as it was wasting
money. After some discussion the
Dill was laid over. The senate voted
to recall from the assembly the bill
proVldlng for a two-cent a mile pas
senger rate. Senator Martin made a
motion that the vote by which it was
non-concurred in be reconsidered Gov.
La Toilette sent three important
vetos to the legislature, one on rhe
crow bounty bill, one on Senator
Riordan's dam bill. which would dis
pose in wholesale of the right to build
dams on the Wisconsin river for a
distance of 40 miles, and one on the
Eaton bill to compel towns, through
which intuerurban car lines run, to ex-
pend the money which these roads pay
in license fee taxes for the lighting
and improvement of the roads. This
law would have compelled towns in
the county to buy electricity from
these companies for lighting purposes.
In the veto of the crow bill the COVER
nor said: This bill compels the pay
ment by counties of a tax in the form
of bounty for the killing of crows
and hawks. l am firmly convinced
that it is a mistaken policy to Ell
croach by state legislation upon local
government where the subjects per-
tain so especially to local interests,
and where the expenses must be borne
by local taxation" A new bill was in
troduced in the assembly, in accord
ance with the governors suggestion,
to give counties the right to give
bounties on crows but not to compel
them to do so. 1t passed Senator
Riordan's bill to reorganize the game
warden system of the state, disguised
as bill to compel counties to pay a
bounty for the killing of wolves, was

THE PICACHO
OUTBREAK
In Which the Notorious Pete Burke
the Killer Was Killed.
Phoenix Rcphlica II.

Rumors Of Il riot at the Picacho
mine, near Yuma, were received in
Phoenix on Monday night but the
nature Of the disturbance could not be
learned. y letter was received yes
to-day from a gentlemen at the mine
in which he described the taking of
the life Of Pete Burke, who could have
been spared a good while ago Bun Ike
invited his own violent death and pre-
cjpitated it by the killing OF Mcxi-
can named Lopez.
Burke was a deputy constable at the
mine. y gun which Constable Koran
was cleaning was accidently dis
charged and Burke hearing the report
rushed into the room with his own gun
drawn and began firing at random.
one Of the balls went through par
tition and killed the Mexican. He
was at once arrested by the cOnsta-
bic and Supcrin tcndent Hum
phric~ OF the mine started with
him To the Office OF justice OF the
peace. Four.fifths of the population
of Picacho is Mexican. The wagon
was quickly surrounded by Mcxicans
who grew more and more violent.
\ brother of the man killed by
Burke approached the prisoner in the
wagon and drew his gun when Burke
began begging for his life. Lopez
fired the ball, passing through Burke's
side. Burke jumped from the wagon
and the shooting became general
Another Mexican by the name of
Lopez but no relation to the man who
had been killed followed Burke and
shot him through the head. In the
shooting superintendent HUMPHREYS
was severely wounded The men who
had shot Burke and another who had
taken an active part in the firing
mounted horses and rode in the direc- |
ton Of Mexico. 1t is not likely that
they will ever be brought back for this |
rhine. Burke was Il killer. Itis said |
