JACK FROST PROCESS
or ICE MANUFACTURE

Paying due honor to the fact that
Frost Is king in the ice business, a
natural process of Inanufactur ice
at a nominal expense has recently
been perfected and patented. The the
DRY of the process is in taking advan-
tage of natural conditions and improv-
ing upon nature in minor details. The
patents that have been granted on the
process by the Washington authorities
are what are known as basic" which
means that nothing of similar ma
ture has ever been passed upon by the
patent Office. The Jack Frost process
can be carried out anywhere; all that
it requires is freezing weather. The
conditions under which the ice is pro-
duced are simple and at the same time
novel. For instance, any piece of va
cant property within the heart of the
city itself can be utilized for the work.
An inexpensive skeleton structure is
set up, open on all sides, but covered
by roof. An ample supply Of pure
water Is provided for and the opera
tors wait for the first freezing weather.

1t is useless to quarrel with daugh-
tiers Of American multimillionaires
who enter upon international alliances.
Isolated as they are by their great
fortunes, they are necessarily restrict
ed in their acquaintance with men,
and In their choice Of husbands In
this country to the narrow circles Of
the idle rich. Within those limits
money is the principal and often the
only standard Of social virtue. In that
environment simple marriage Of at
lection must be comparatively rare.
Not upon the daughters, but upon the
sons Of the American rich, must rest
whatever of blame there may be for
the surrender Of the American woman
to the titled fortune hunter. 1t Is not
her fault II she can get more for her
money in London than IN New York.

1t should not be forgotten that the
people of Macedonia have been prepar-
ing for a long time to give battle to
the sultan, and later 1t will be found
probable that much Of the bloodshed
should not be laid to the door of the
Turk. While the condition is bad
enough, most of the reports are prob
ably grossly exaggerated, because
many of the so-called towns of Mace
donna, which are said to have been
destroyed. consist of only about half
q dozen farm buildings. Rivers which
are luridly reported to be damned
with the bodies of murdered Christians
are In reality streams so small and
sluggish that any small object would
stop their flow.

at Ogdensburg in the Sixtieth New
York Cavalry, in which he served al
together four years and half. After
the close of the civil war a number
of regiments were stationed in and
about the city Of Washington as
guard. 1t was while with this regi-
ment in this capacity that President
Lincoln was SHOT by Booth. Files OF
soldiers from the different Federal
regiments stationed in Washington
were sent out in different directions to
apprehend the murderer. Among the
party detailed froM the S1xticth New
York Cavalry was Mr.. Sharp. The
party was composed of 16 men, COM
manded by Capt. Baker.
Speaking of the event Mr.. Sharp
said that Booth was traced by the
soldiers to q place In Maryland called
Fort Tobacco, near the Potomac river,
and finally located in a barn. An
attempt was made to enter but the
door was fastened. 1t was soon learn
ed that some other person or persons
were with the fugitive, and these prov
ed to be Harold and Payne. Capt.
Baker called to the men In the barn
that they would be given few min
utes in which to surrender and If they
did not do so within that time The
barn would be fired.
"We'u never surrender" said the
voice Of Booth.
Then the soldiers were ordered to
surround the barn and fire it. Asethis
order was given the door was opened
and Harold and Payne stepped out,
the door being Immediately fastened
behind them by Booth. They declared
that they had nothing to do with 1t
(meaning the murder of the president,
but were at once taken into custody.
After the surrender of Harold and
Payne, Capt. Baker called to Booth
that the best thing that he could do
would be to come out and surrender,
but the latter replied. "TH die first"
Baker then gave the order "Close up
and we'll fire this barn." The barn
was set on fire and the flames grad
ually penetrated the inside, and yet
Booth seemed determined to perish
by FIRE rather than be taken by his
enemies. The interior of the barn be-
came lit up and revealed the figure
Of Booth standing in the middle Of the
floor. facing the barn door, his gun
cooked and ready to be raised to his
shoulder.
Major Corbett, who was one Of the
party, seems to have been standing at
the side of the barn, ana as the flames
lit W. the interior he saw. through
crack, Booth standing in the attitude
described. He at once raised his rife
and fired through the aperture and
Booth fell. The door was then forced
In and the assassin was found lying
on the floor, apparently dead. The
bullet had entered his head just below
the ear. Capt Baker asked Booth If
he had anything to say.
TELL my mother" said he, chat l
died for my country
He was taken out Of the barn by
four men whose names were Berbeau.

claimed that the average woman takes
more care with her dress In order to
please the men than to attract the
critical gaze of her own sex. AS man
knows what styles are the most attrac-

one to design them. 1t Is stated that

Thousands Of unnaturalized aliens

sary that they should declare their in
tention to become citizens. Then If
they have been in this country from
six months to two years-the time var
les In the twelve States with alien
voters-they may go to the polls with
native-born Americans and cast their
ballots. The right to vote Is a gift
from the State, on the comforting or

teenth amendment to the constitution.
That says that the suffrage may be
denied to no one on account of race,

the United States, but that they must
also be able to read English. In
Mississippi voters must be citizens,
and must be able to read or to under
stand the constitution; whereas in
Nebraska an alien who need have been
in the United States only six months,
and who, thirty days before election,
declared his intention of becoming
citizen, may vote, whether he can read
English or even speak it. In the great
majority If States voters must be citi-

In an interview touching on the new
condition that exists since the inaugu-
ration of the free rural mail delivery
service all over the country Special
Agent Boylan of that service declared
the keynote was advertise"
When questioned as to the effect the
new service has on trade and it's re-
ception by the business men in the
smaller cities and town, Mr.. Boylan,
who travels all over the West in his
official capacity and comes in close
touch with the people of various local
tiles, says that he finds many mer
chants who are unfavorable to the new
rural service.
This objection, he finds, is due to the
position the merchants take that farm
ers do not come to town as much as
they formerly did before the mail was
delivered at their doorstep each morn
ing.
and towns maintains that the farmer
depends more on the attractive offers
made by the merchants of the cities
and is inclined to mail order bust
ness which is done with the big con-
Germs in the big cities.
Mr.. Boy1an thinks, however, that
this criticism will soon pass, and that
the smaller tradesmen will soon be-
come adapted to the new order of
things, and will be in position to
compete with the big dealers in the
faraway Cities and will be able to dis
count the quotations made OH account
of the freight and express charges nee
cessarily added by the foreign mer-
chants.
He holds that the big city merchant
has been the first to come in touch
with the new order of things and is
catering to the country trade through
the medium of well devised advertise
ments in the big dailies.
Mr.. Boylan's opinion is that the
smaller merchant will quickly see the
advantage of this work and will seek
the same results from equally attrac-
tive offers placed in the columns of
the dailies and weeklies scattered all
over the West.
He maintains that the smaller dealer
must come In touch with the rural con.
sumner through the medium OF the
newspaper, and the sooner he appre-
ciates the opportunities thus offered
the quicker will be the return under
the new conditions.-Fourth Estate.

Old Time Remedies fer Snake Bite.
(London Lancet.)


The subject of snake bite may occa-
sionally engage the individual practi-
toner in moorland countryside where
especially in the summer and autumn,
cases are not unknown of infants dy-
ing from collapse after being bitten
by vipers. We have recently been in
formed that the ''infallible remedy
used by "Brusher' Mills, the we'll
known New Forest snake catcher, for
the bite of the adder or viper is the
fat of the creature itself melted, bottled
and applied, a drop at a time, to the
wound. The cure, he asserts, is an at
fair of two minutes. Mills has, f
course, had immense experience with
snakes having in his day killed or tax
en- more than 1000 Venomous and q 900
harmless specimens. He has, in fact
practically devastated his own field of
operations round Lyndhurst. His be-
lief in his remedy is shared by Wilt
shire and Hampshire rusticS and is
doubtless universal in the country dis
tricts of England.
The question is whether this treatment
is merely Il survival of the old savage
homeopathy which OrdainS hair of the
dog that bit you as a cure for the bite, or
whether it is a rude form of serumther-
apy. NiperS are exceedingly quarrelSome
from the moment they break the egg, and
unless immune against venom would long
ago have ceased to exist as a distinct
species Hence their fat may be 4 kind

substances are useful against poisons
which they doubtless absorb and isolate
The old-fashioned London viper catch
ers" mentioned by White of Selborne and
others always employed hot olive oil as
a cure or treatment for snake bites, and
this with ammonia continues TO be recon-
mended.
We read of the Oil cure in works on nat
ural history but find no mention of the
peasants use of fat. How came it to be
used in the first instance? Probably in ac-
cordauce with the savage theory tnat tat,
blood, sputum and so forth contain the
