A Foraker Man Named.


''In filling a vacancy on the supreme
court bench of the District of Colum-
bia the other day, the president Sc
lected Judge Wright Of Cincinnati, an
avowed Foraker man. The appoint
ment, however, was held back until
after the election, so that it might not
be construed as a slap at Hanna, and
used to his disadvantage in the cam
paign. Senator Foraker was very
helpful in Strengthening out the Ohio
tangle last spring, and in bringing out
a demand for Endorsement which Sen
ator Hanna could not resist. In re-
turn, the president has wanted for
months to do something for Foraker.
Finally it was decided that Wright
should have the federal judgship in
this city. That was last summer, and
{. the appointment was withheld for
, months in order that Hanna might
not be hurt by it. The people OF that
city, in the meantime, had been clam
orous to have the vacancy filled, for
the courts were crowded and work
was getting behind 1t was not known
here that Wright was to be appointed,
! or that the appointment would not
come until after the election. The
! presidents tact in this matter is only
! another indication that he has an un-
derstanding with Senator hanna, and
that Hanna will contribute all he can
to the presidents success next year,
in the convention and at the polls.
To Be Chairman Again.
"It is believed in Washington that
Hanna will again be made chairman
of the republican national committee,
and if this is true, he will be more
effective chairman than in 1896 or
1900, because of the prestige which
the victories in those years gave him.

FOUND AND RETURNED.
Much Lost Money Recovered by En-
ployes on Railways.


Thousands of dollars, lost in the
cars of Chicago passenger trains are
returned to their owners every year.
The big warehouses in Chicago Il
are filed with lost articles have none
of these precious finds or any record
of. them, because they are safely re-
turned without having reached head
quarters. Much Of it is returned by
trainmen who are able positively to
identify the owners. Not long ago
q conductor on a Michigan Central
passenger train found a pocketbook
containing $1,000 in currency and $500
in negotiable paper. With little in
quiry, cleverly prosecuted, he was able
to find the owner, and returned the
money. The latter rewarded the faith
ful trainman by offering him cheap
cigar. During the height of the last
excursion season, the station agent of
the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa railway
at Hamlet, Mich, was one of the pas
sengers on an excursion train bound
for Benton Harbor. He had in his
pocketbook nearly $400 in cash and
checks. While en- route the pocket
book disappeared, and he returned to
his station without the money. On
the following Monday the entire
amount inside the pocketbook was re-
turned to him. The pocketbook lay
in the baggage car over Sunday and
Sunday night. and the car inspector

slice of onion, a small piece of bay
leaf, two whole cloves, stalk of cell

tomatoes are used cook for Is minues;
fresh tomatoes until they are reduced

spoonfuls of butter to a smooth paste

Pour enough hot milk over the paste

Stir 1t slowly until 1t thickens, and
cook about five minutes. Add a scant
half of level teaspoonful of baking
soda to the tomatoes, mix we'll, and
add slowly to the milk in double boiler.
AS soon as the soup is thoroughly heat
ed remove at once from the fire and
serve. II tomatoes are very acid add
a little sugar before cooking. And do
not put the two parts together until
you are about ready to serve the soup,

Household Hints.

One Of the newest colonial papers is
in yellow in divisions which give a
panelled effect that lends q dignified
air to room.
A mineling of Glove and lemon fla
vors in the afternoon tea is delightful.
Drop whole Glove into each cup just
before serving.
A heavy broom should always be Sc
lected in preference to a light one for
thorough sweeping, as the weight aids
in the process.
A scant teaspoonful Of granulated
sugar put in the water in which green
corn is TO be boiled will add consider
ably to its flavor.
Dip jelly tumblers in boiling water
and fill them while still scalding hot.
This prevents the glasses from crack
ing and aids the jellying process.
Oxalic acid will remove ink stains
from books. 1t should first be diluted
and then applied with soft brush and
then blotting paper used on the spot.
All sorts of cooking utensils are to
be had in nickel, and the saucepans
Of various sizes. Nickelware, however,
costs little more than some other va
rieties.
A staircase with treads painted white
and the rise of hard wood is a novelty
often seen in stairways just now. The
balusters are white and the rail Of the

Every few days the coffee pot should
be thoroughly cleaned by rubbing salt
on the inside. This will remove the
coffee and egg that adhere to the pot.
This should be well rinsed after the
salt is used.
Oil marks on wall paper may be re-
moved by applying paste made of pipe

each hand and six toes on each foot.
They are bright, healthy little girls.
Their fingers and toes are perfectly
formed and are growing in proportion.
In fact at first glance one would not
notice the extra digits so symmetric-
ally are they formed. The twins have
proved fascinating attraction in the
neighborhood. The Hartney home is
never without visitor. Considerable
interest is being manifested in the
twins by the medical professors. Ply
sicians have called to see the babies
and have tried to induce Mr. Hartney
to have the children taken before the
students at some of the local colleges.
One doctor told the father that If he
wished he would remove the extra
fingers and toes, but others advised
him not to consent to any such opera.

Mastodon Remains.

The finding of mastodon remains
near Newburgh, N. Y, has already
been noted. With these remains there
were found large numbers of tree
trunks both in the muck and in the
mari beneath it. and in many cases the
mastodon bones we're found resting
on the trees. Most of the trees were
so rotten that it was impossible to OBJ
tain only small fragments. One spec
linen possesses curious interest. The
tree was lying three fet below the sur
face. in muck, and was very soft and
spongy; and not only on the surface,
but clear through, was of dark brown
color, almost that of the muck, and per-
haps colored by the muck. It's scien-
tific interest rests upon the fact that in
sections 1t is polygonal, while the fiat
faces of the trunk that make up the
polygon vary in number from fourteen
to sixteen, some Of the faces merging
into one another at various points
along the trunk. This piece of the
tree is about three feet long, and when
first dug out, about two months ago,
was nearly nine inches thick at one
end and six at the other; but it has
shrunk on drying out, until now it
measures five and three inches, respec-
lively. No other pieces Of this tree
were found, although the adjoining lay
ers of muck were carefully dug over
and examined, in hope of obtaining
more of It, Several of the other trees
showed while still wet the marks of the
teeth of animals, and it has been sur
missed that this was the work of beav-
ers. When dried. however, the tooth
marks became less distinct, and their
study was, therefore, made difficult.
