COWS FOR MISSION WORK.
Three of the Milk Producers Recently
Sent to China from This
Country.

California has had the unique dis
tinction Of sending three missionary
COWS to China. About month or
more ago, says a Los Angeles corre-
spondent of the New York Times, on the
ship Siberia, in charge Of Rev. William
N. Brewster, a Methodist missionary,
of Hing-hua, South China, the cows,
which were presented to him by two
women friends, started from San Fran
cisco. A letter recently received from
Mr.. Brewster says
THE COWS seem to be enjoying the
voyage very much, and if the last
part of the trip is as safe and smooth
as the first to Honolulu, they will
reach their destination in better condi-
tion than when they started"
Hing-hua is rs miles south of Foo
chow. In 1890 Rev. Mr. Brewster first
went to South China. At that time not
native COW in the country had ever
been used for dairy purposes. being put
like the oxen to plowing and other work.
During Rev. Mr.. Brewster's residence in
Hing-hua the people have been gradually
learning the value of milk, and many
men who have become converts to
Christianity are doing a good business
selling the nourishing fluid.
AS yet, however, they know nothing
about butter or cheese making, so a
trained young Christian man, reared and
trained on dairy farm in Canada, is
travelling back to China with Mr.. Brew
ster, and it is the missionary's intention
to start a regular school for dairying
and teach the natives the value Of such
products.

CACTUS MADE INTO FOOD.
California Botanist Succeeds, After
Years Of Labor, in Obtaining
This Result

Luther Burbank, who is called the
botanical wizard" because Of his deyel-
opment of stoneless plums and other
similar fruits, has just produced, after
ten years work, a spineless cactus
which is half as nutritious as alfafa
and will yield more forage to the acre,
says the Weeks Progress. BY series
Of crossings and recrossings Of differ
ent varieties from different parts Of the
world Burbank Is aiming to make the
plant harder and produce more fruit
and leaves.
He has at his Santa Rosa experimen-
tai grounds specimens of cactus which
he has robbed OF thorns, having
brought the horny leaves to such a
state Of perfection that a man can rub
the leaf over his face. The surface is
found to be as soft as silk.
The creation Of a spineless cactus is
Of great Importance. The plant will
grow luxuriantly on the driest desert
In this and other countries its leaves
and fruit are food for man and beast
and It may mean to some districts
more than the introduction OF the DO
tato meant to Europe

Spider Culture.

Ten years ago French missionary
started the systematic rearing Of two
kinds of spiders for their web, and the
Board of Trade Journal states that a
spider web factory is now in successful
operation at -Meudon, near
Paris, where ropes are made of spider
web intended for balloons for the French
military aeronautic section. The spiders
are arranged in groups of II above a
reel, upon which the threads are wound
1t is by no means easy work for the
spiders, for they are not released until
they have furnished from 80 yards to Al
yards of thread each. The web is
washed and thus freed of the outer red
dish and sticky cover. Eight Of the
washed threads are then taken together.
and of this rather strong yarn cords are
woven which are stronger and much
lighter than CORDS Of silk Of the same
thickness.-N. " Herald.

GREAT SUGAR EATERS.
The Craving for Sweet Things in This
Country Makes a Record in
It's Way.

That Americans are the greatest
candy eaters in the world is familiar
fact but that the national liking for
sweets tends generally 10 all articles con-
tanning sugar in large amounts is not
SO well known.
The consumption Of sugar In the
United States has been steadily rising
for 20 years and now exceeds that Of any
other country. 1t amounts to Y pounds
q head of population, the figures being
as follows for other nations: England,
6S pounds; Denmark, 30: France, 30;
Holland, 30; Switzerland, 81; Germany,
20; Sweden, 20; Italy, 10, and Spain, 6.
The consumption Of sugar in the
United States exceeds in a year $500, 900
tons, and it approximates the total con-
sumption Of sugar on the whole Eu.o-
pean equalling that Of all
Europe. exclusive of Great Britain, in
which the consumption amounts to
10000 tons year.
The American craving for sugar, 50
Tar from showing any indications Of de-
cline, seems to be on the increase, as is
shown by the fact that the average con-
sumption per capita has increased half
pound in five years.

MAKING. 1t is recommended that Mr..
Taylor receive the John Scott medal and
premium in recognition Of the value of
his invention.
In this new process sweet cream Is
poured into shallow pans, the bottom Of
which are covered with absorbent pads.
These pads are composed of heavy white
blotting paper supported on Turkish
toweling, or some similar material, and
absorb from the cream nearly all of its
constituents except the fat. The cream
fat remains as a layer on the surface Of
the pads, and after several hours stand
ing it may be rolled off.
In this condition the product contains
rather too much water and milk pro-
teids; on this account, and because of the
absence of salt it does not keep well. If,
however, the separated butter fat be
worked and salted in the same way as
the ordinary churned product the result
is a fine grade of butter.
The process has the advantage of
cheapness, since the pads may be used
over and over again, lasting, it is said.
for six months of daily use. The labor of
churning is avoided and, on account Of
the use of fresh cream instead of that
which has stood to ripen for several
days, the finished product keeps better
than butter made in the ordinary way.
The process has been patented in the
United States, Canada, England, France
and Germany.

WHO is GUILTY I?

The Dawes commission has two men now at work try
ing to find the two thousand lost unaccounted for
Cherokees Many of these will be found and Others ac-
counted for but we venture the assertion thata majority
will never be heard Of We believe that there are people
who could explain this whole business but no one need
have any fears of their ever doing The Cherokee
Nation paid the BILL and certain parties had justice
they would be behind prison bars One thing that makes
it SO dult to trace up those who really existed is that
they were known by name but in giving in their
names to the takers they would frequently use
some other name For instance 'LooneY Coon" is on
the rolls as Looney Guess And this is the case with
many Others. People who render any assistance to
the Commission in Strengthening out this tangled bus

M'cALL GOING TOO.

New York, Dec. 6.-The resignation of United States Senator Chauncey M. Depew as a director of the Equitable Life Assurance society was one of the most interesting developments today in the situation growing out of the life in- surance investigation. The senator's resignation was rendered to President Morton. of the Equitable society in a brief note in which no reason for it was stated.
 The Evening Sun says President Mc- Call and Vice President George w. Perkins of the New York Life Insur- ance company are going to retire from office in that company. Perkins re- tirement the Sun says will probably take place soon and McCalrs at the next annual election of trustees in April.
 The notice was posted tonight that President Mccall will resign before April next and that if he does not tend CT his resignation at a meeting of the trustees next Wednesday he will re- frain only at the request of the trus- tees, who, report says, do not wish to elect temporary president.
 The report also said the presidency of the New York Life has been offered | lO JOln CIdIIllH, trustee or Indl company and president of the H. B. Clafflin company. and MT. Clafflin has refused to accept the office.
 The attention of the legislative in- vestigating committee was devoted chiefly today to the affairs of the Se- i curity Life Insurance company of Binghamton, N. Y, whose president John M. Turner was on the stand most of the day. His testimony and the scribe in detail the organization ot 1 the Agency and Investment com pany, of Binghamton in 1893. This company paid the salary of the pres. I ident of the Security Life Insurance company at first, advanced it money amounting to $S7 900, agreed to furnish it with insurance business at a rate of $5,00O, 900 year and received in turn five per cent commission on all new premiums.
 George B. Eldredge first vice presi- dent and actuary of the Mutual Re- serve Life Insurance company, who had already been on the witness stand ir the insurance investigation three days was the first witness today. The wit ness said $15,000 was paid Tracy Boardman and Platt for legal expenses in appearing before legislative commit. tees to secure the enactment of a bill re-incorporating the Mutual Reserve and which was charged to the general expenses of the company

The Introduction of Railroad Government
 Bills in Both Branches of Congress
The Subject of Campaign Contributions by Insurance Companies and National Banks-Beveridge Sees a Clear Track for the Joint Statehood Bill.

6,500,000 for canal work, which was the subject of discussion, will be read for amendment and placed on it's final passage tomorrow. The feature of the debate was the criticism indulged in by both republicans and democrats re- garding incompleteness of the state ment of expenditures and estimates furnished by the canal commission. Mir. Hepburn, in charge of the bill, made some effort to show that while detall- ed estimates might be made satisfac- house were not in a position to pass critical Judgment on estimates on such work prepared by expert engineers, who held responsible positions and had been selected entirely because of their fitness.
 Bourke Cochran of New York took decided exception to this attitude on affecting all matters of appropriation and arraigned it as a wrong attitude to legislators. To enforce his argu- ment he read the sentiment of the president in his message for economy and the scrutiny of appropriations.
 The so-called press agent of the canal commission was criticized by several speakers, and lack of definite information as to existence of such Fl position was shown. The place was declared to caIry a salary of $10O,OOO q year, and some curiosity was manifest ed to know what were its duties.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The senate be- gan business in earnest today. The session was of only little more than two hours duration. but in that time several hundred bills and resolutions were introduced and referred to com mittees.
 The resolutions deal with the ques- tion of national regulation of insur- ance companies, the incorporation of interstate railroad companies and the contribution of funds to political part ies by national banks.
 Mir Foraker presented his railroad rate regulation bill; MT. Galiinger his merchant marine subsidy bill Mir. Lodge a bill providing for a maximum and minimum tariff rate schedule in the interest of reciprocity and MT. Culbertson a bill making it a penal offense to use the money of insurance companies in politics.
 The nearest approach to a contro- versy arose over a resolution presented by Mir Newlands directing the Inter state commerce commission to draw a national incorporation act for rail- roads MT. SpoOner criticized the pro- ceeding as unworthy of the senate.
 Objection was made to the consider ation of a resolution offered by MT. Tillman for investigation of the sub- feet of national bank contributions for campaign purposes. and the resolution went over for a day.

ELklNS' COMMITTEE.
A Consideration of the Subject of
 Railroad Regulation.

Washington, Dec. 6.-The senate committee on interstate commerce. had a small attendance at today's meeting, Senator Aldrich being absent. Sena- tors McLaurin Oem) and Clapp (Rep.) were not present.
 The committee entered thoroughly into the rate question. There was a free interchange Of views and an agreement made that more secrecy was to be observed hereafter as to what occurred in the sessions.
 Chairman Elkins laid before the committee a copy of the Elkins law and called attention to the suits that have been begun by the attorney gen. eIal against the Pabst Brewing com pany, the Milwaukee Refrigerator Transit company and seven railroads. He said the lElkins law mad never had q fair test, and that these suits which the government had determined to press to a speedy conclusion, and in which the government officers assured him they were confident of securing one or more convictions, would dem onstrate that the Elkins law furnished a complete remedy for all the ills now complained of, including alleged re- bates, discriminations abuses or pref erences. The chairman told the mem bers that he expected the result of suits he mentioned would go long way toward settling the question.
 The members of the committee show ed the heaviest interest in the chair mans exposition of the act that bears his name Most of the time She ses> sion was devoted to the re-reading and Interpreting the Elkins act. It afford ed rallying cry for those members of the commbittee who see no necessity for additional legislation. One claim made by Chairman Elkins that arous- cd unusual interest was that the El- kins act afforded complete relief against the alleged evils of the private car line. This claim provoked much discussion with interest, because it has been conceded that one of the strongest possibilities of railroad rate l legislation was that giving the. inter- state commerce commission jurisdic- tion over private car lines. .--.--o., :,

MURDER IN A DANCE HALL.
Believed to he Outcome of Election
 Fraud in New York.

New York, Dec. Collection frauds are believed by the police to have caused the murder last night of w. F.. Harrington in Little Naples dance hall and also the probably fatal injur- ies of another man, who was found with fractured skull some distance away from Little Naples The injured man was called Abram Juckerman of this city. The dance hall is conducted by Paul Kelly, leader of an East Side gang.
 Bartender Bernard Escotte, one of the nine persons arrested, said that the fight started when four members of the Liberty Association" which is hostile to the Kelly gang, entered the room after midnight. One of these men, Escotte says, shouted that his "best friend was shot here Tuesday morning." The general fusillade fol lowed. The police believe that a quar- rel over the division of election money was the original cause of the fight.
