WHAT TEE MARKET AFFORDS

Jellymaking is process requiring
Judgment, as no hard-and-fast rules can
be laid down. EXPERIENCES is acquired
only by practice, but fair success
should reward anyone following close
ly the rules laid down in any good
cook book. Among the important
points are to cook The strained juice
in small quantities, as it will reach the
ielllying point quicker, producing a
vored jelly. The general rule is to
use three-fourths Of pint of sugar
to each pint Of juice. The juice can
be boiled about ten minutes before
adding the sugar, which should be
heated in the oven. This improves the
quality. The jellying point can, only
be told by testing few drops on a
saucer.
If the jelly does not seem perfectly
firm when cold, cover it with mosquito
netting or window glass and let it
When the jelly is cold, cover it with
melted parafne or with circular pieces
of paper dipped in alcohol or brandy,
then put on the tin covers, or seal Sc

In 1899 Alex G. Hanna was chosen to

the honor of the city government were

Hanna was not politician. He was
too plain, too blunt, and in spite of the
revelations of the past few months, too
honest. He had been hardworking
political honOrs. He was getting old,
and from the proceeds Of the office he
| hoped to save enough to live in comfort
the remainder of his days.
But fate is not always kind. Within
few months Mr.. Hanna has seen the
hopes of lifetime crumble into ruins;
he has seen the savings Of years swept
away in night.
Another Big Shortage.
Last April, within two weeks of the
time that John McCandless, Mr.. Han

New Castle, Pa, July 22-That ia

many New Castle a people is strikiip R
doo' hangs over the office of city
treasurer. This mental attitude, ow-
ing it's existence to a series Of tragic
events, has been growing for more
than two decades, in which time one
city treasurer has been ruined and dis
graced and another murdered. It has
been noprished by a mystery that has

shadows brutal crime.
In 1884 "Honest John' Blevins was
first elected city treasurer. He was
an ,exemplar of all that is upright and

was elected again and again, holding
the office for fifteen successive years.

There came a day, however, when

blows of some murderous weapon. The
crime was enveloped in a cloud of mys

A 4. NEW FACTORY I!
Pitts Brothers Are Now Manufacturing
Concrete Blocks.

The new factory of the Pitts Broth
for manufacturing hollow concrete
blocks, is attracting a great deal Of
block manufacturers, have been at
tempting to produce a machine which
would make the blocks under pressure.
Pitts Brothers think they have ma
chine which has overcome all the diff
fculties and which produces perfect
block. BY the use Of the new machine
is exe,ted upon each block. Many diff
ferent styles and sizes of blocks can
be made on the one machine, the stand
ard block being 5 inches high, "a inches
long and IL inches. thick. From 600
to 1000 Of these blocks can be made
on the machine in single day. The
value of the new machine lies in the
fact that about 20 per cent more ma
terial can be put into the block than
can be done BY making the stone by
solutely free from air space and
voids. Another advantage is that more
beautiful blocks can be made than by
former processes. Pitts Brothers claim
that they can make more artistic blocks
suitable for the highest class Of work,
handsome residences, office buildings
ana store fronts, as We'll as cheaper
classes Of masonry. A great variety of
| different kinds Of work may be done
by using different kinds Of material.
The new plant is complete in all de-
tails. The sand is dug from the ground
and loaded directly into an elevator,
which carries the sandsup and throws it
on shaker screen. After going
thru the screen the sand is carried
down by gravity to power mixer.
Here the Portland cement and other
material is added and the whole mixed
very thoroughly IL the e mix s4:r;s Sixty
made in one minute.s From the. mixer
the concrete is fed into. the block ma
chine, where it is subjected to the
great pressure mentioned above. The
whole process takes less than ten min
utes from the time the asand is taken
from its resting place. in the ground
until the manufactured blocks are
placed on the racks in storage shed.
Pitts Brothers are enthusiastic over
their new enterprise, as the plant is
doing even better work than they had
expected.

New York Sun Special Service.
Paris, July 22.-La Patrie prints the
following:
A dispatch from London refers to
a rumor which circulates, it would APP
pear, in the best informed and most
governmental circles, to the effect that
the meeting of the English and French
fleets will hasten realization Of the
project of an alliance, offensive sand
defensive, between the two nations, to
which their respective diplomatists
have been devoting their attention for
some time. The meeting of the fleets,
it would seem, was decided upon for
the purpose OF testing the possibility
of this alliance.
.This news, no doubt, is inaccurate,
but bears the stamp Of probability. It
is evident that it has been the pur-
pose to have the British squadron at
Brest in bringing the British officers
to Paris. There has been an attempt
landing at Toulon and coming later to
be acclaimed in Paris.

the slightest enthusiasm, and in Paris
