Oyster Bay, Long Island, July To-
United States Senator Thomas G..
Platt, of New York, arrived here and
had a conference with President
Roosevelt. The senator came by lnvl-
tation of the president, who desired TO
consult him regarding h outlook OF
political affairs in general ana in New

President Roosevelt Is seeking the

PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
It is Granted in the Suit of Edward
n. Hartman and Others.
It's Object is to Restrain the Pro-
posed Pro Rata Distribution Of
Northern Securities Co. Assets.

Trenton, N. j., July ~16.-Judge
Bradford has granted a preliminary
injunction in the suit brought by Ed
ward H. Hartman, Winslow S. Pierce
and others to restrain the proposed pro
rate distribution of the assets OF the
Northern Securities Co. This is a de-
feat for the Hill interests. The opinion
is so typewriter pages in length.
The litigation turned largely on the
question as t the title of the Northern
Pacific stock which e. H. Hartman
and Winslow S. Pierce put into the
combination and which amounted to
about $79, 600, 900. The contention OF
the Northern Securities Co. was that
the stock had become the absolute
property of that company and that 1t
was perfectly legal for the Northern
Securities Co. to carry out the pro
rata plan of distribution upon which
the had agreed. Mr.. Harri-
man contended that by reason OF the
corporation being declared illegal by
the United States supreme court title
had not passed from Hartman and
Pierce, and in consequence they were
entitled to have returned to them the
particular stock they had put into the
combination and which involved con-
troll of the Northern Pacific Co.

BITS OF HOUSEHOLD LORE.
A Variety of Information Which May
Be Worth Retaining for
Future Use.

Heat exhaustion, says a trained
nurse, is a very different thing from SUM-
stroke. In fact, its symptoms are di-
rectly opposite from those of sun
stroke. In heat exhaustion the skin is
cold and clemmy and the temperature
is subnormal. The patient often loses
consciousness and looks deathly pale.
The condition is not as serious as SUM-
stroke, but it is dangerous and should
receive great care. If at any time dur
ing the hot season one feels weak, with
indistinct vision and disturbed mind; if
there is a ringing in the ears and a
of prostration, it is time to stop work
and seek medical attention. Aromatic
spirits of ammonia, a t~easpoonful in a
~wineglass of hot water, is a good remedy
to take before the doctor comes. Black
coffee is another good stimulant. A
cold wet cloth may be applied to the
head and a hot water bottle to the feet.
A pretty table centerpiece was made
by digging up several wild strawberry
plants and potting them in a round
fern dish. The ripening berries made

green leaves. The plants remained fresh
for W weeks.
Pineapple lemonade is refreshing and
is prepared with very little trouble.
Pare and crate a ripe pineapple; add the
juice of four or five lemons and a strip
made by boiling together for a few min
utes two cups of sugar and the same
quantity of water. Mix and add a quart
of water. When quite cold strain and
ice. A marischino cherry in each glass
is an addition.
A good cold dessert is made by add
ing to a pint of grated pineapple pulp
half a pint of water and half a pound Of
sugar previously boiled in strip with
half a cupful of water. Press through a
fine sieve, and when cool add the
whipped white of an egg. Beat vigorous
ly for a few minutes and set on ice I'M
til just before serving. High sherbet
glasses mar be used for the dessert.
Laundry irons should be washed with
soap and water once in awhile, to re-
o the accumulation of starch. Dry
them thoroughly and rub with parafine.

SHE MADE 1T A CERTAINTY.
Arranged Things So That Her Wooer
Should Not Open the Wrong
Drawer.

With a gesture expressive of firm res
olution, as if the affair vas quite settled,
Countess Madeline pointed to her
lacquered Japanese cabinet that SHIN
nered in the lamplight, and said, very
~gravely:
"Open one of those three drawers, VAL
e%ntine, and be sure that you choose the
right one. Each drawer contains an
answer to the prayer which you have
addressed to me for the past six
months. If you open that which con-
tains the answer Yes l will be yours,
and will marry you as soon rs you
please. But take care that you do not
get the wrong answer, for if you do you
will never see me again"
"Alas!" said Valentine, there are
two chances to one against me. How
cruel you are, my darling,"
well" said the countess, eff | marry
you I can at least lay the blame on
Fate"
The young man hesitated a long time,
relates London Tit-Bits. His hand
wandered from drawer to drawer. not
venturing to touch any, and his heart
sank with the fear of choosing wrongly.
At last he shut his eyes and opened a
drawer at hazard.
Oh, rapture! the little piece of pink
paper, when unfolded, disclosed to his
CAD eyes the exquisite word Yes" In
ecstasy he clasped blushing Madeline in
his arms and covered her face with
kisses. She could not deny him now
without a disgraceful violation of her
promise. But Madeline was an upright
person, who always kept her word, and
so he was soon able to call her his wife.
Still, even amid the raptures of the
honeymoon Valentine was not entirely
happy. At times a gloomy expression
appeared on his brow and in his eyes.
'Ungrateful mani" sighed Madeline,
"you are not yet satisfied. What is the
matter?"
Il am troubled about something"
about what?"
Il owe my wife to chance, not to her
own inclination"
He remained pensive for a time, while
she looked smilingly at him. Suddenly
she broke into a merry laugh.
Stupid mani" she cried. Don't you
see that l put the same answer in all
three drawers?"

Willing Silence.

The practice of attentive and SYM
pathetic silence might well be followed
by people in general for more than it
is. The protection of a loving, unself-
ish silence is very great: a silence
which is the result of stunning all
selfish, self-assertive, vain or affected
speech; a silence which is never
broken for the sake of making con-
versation," showing off" or covering
selfish embarrassment; a silence which
is full of sympathy and interest-the
power of such silence cannot be over
estimated.-Leslie's Monthly.

FORTY-NlNE YEAR SENTENCE
Received By the Assailants Of
Mrs. Elsie Biddle.
Negroes Were Given the Extreme
Penalty of the Law-Immedi-
ateIy Taken to Prison.

Mount Holly, N. j., July 16.-Aaron
Timbers, Jonas Sims and VIM. Austin,
negroes, who confessed to assaulting
Mrs. Elsie Biddle of Burlington, N. j.,
were sentenced to 40 years each In
state prison, after a record-breaking
trial. The men arrived in Mount Holly
at lis D.. m. Friday. Less than half
an hour later they had pleaded guilty,
been given the extreme penalty of the
law, and had started for the prison.
When the men, handcuffed to three
detectives, stepped from the train,
there were at least 1000 persons con-
gregated about the railroad station. A
company of the New Jersey national
guard quickly opened a passage way,
and within five minutes the criminals
were in the court house. Judge Gaskill
had ordered that the curious be ex-
Guided from the court room. only the
newspapermen and the guards being
admitted. Judge Gaskill accepted the
plea of guilty, and in pronouncing SEN
tence said:
1.-The Judgment of the law and the
sentence of the court is that for the
charge of rape to which you have just
pleaded guilty, each of you be con-
fined in the state prison at hard labor
for the term of Is years; upon the
charge of robbery, Is years; upon the
charge of assault with intent to kill
an officer, II years, and upon the
charge of robbing the house of William
Streaker, seven years, making a total OF
40 years"
AS soon as sentence had been pro-
nounced, the men were removed from
the court house. AS they appeared at
the entrance, the soldiers formed two
columns of tours, and with the men
in the center, they marched down a
side street to the special train which
had brought them from Camden. The
first demonstration of any character
took place as the negroes neared the
train. A crowd of several hundred
men and boys had gathered, hooted and
jeered the negroes, and the cry of
shoot them" was heard several times.

Upon Ability to Get n New SILK
Envelope in Time.

Paris, July 16.-M. Santos-Dumont
has begun negotiations with manufac-
turers of silk balloon envelopes to re-
pair his damaged diriglble balloon. He
says his return to the United States or
his abandonment of the st. Louis con-
tests depends on me ability of the
manufacturers to supply an envelope
speedily. His reported intention not to
compete at St. Louis is, therefore,
premature, although it is generally be-
