PEPPERS STUFFED WITH RICE

Cut the tops from green peppers and
remove the seeds, taking care not to
get them on the fingers any more than
possible. They have an unpleasant
fashion of burning badly. Throw the
pepper into boiling water and COOK
them for ten minutes, take them out
and dry. Set them upright in a baking
dish and fill them with boiled rice.
Put a piece of butter about the size
of a hickory nut on the top of the rice
in each one, lay on the tops Of the pep
pers, which have been set aside 20
serve for covers, and set the dish in the
oven for ten minutes, that the peppers
and the contents may be heated
through and the butter melted.

MRS. TODD NOT KILLED BY TRAIN
Coroner Says Woman Was Murdered
and Thrown on Track.

The autopsy held in New York yesterday
afternoon, after The Stars report closed.
on the body OF Mrs. Margaretta Todd or
that city, who was found dead on tho
tracks of the Philadelphia and Reading
railroad I'm Philadelphia last Friday night,
added evidence that she had been muir
dered. 1t was found that ten ribs and
the breastbone were fractured. There were
no bruises on the body. as would have been
the inevitable result II It had been struck
by a train. The flesh was not torn. the
clothes were neat and not torn nor dis
arranged in any way. The only thing
surely done by the train was to cut OF
her legs below the knees.
After the autopsy Coroner Scholer said
that he was convinced that the woman
had been crushed OF thrown down an en-
bankment before the car struck her. The
force of a mans knee might have killed
her in the manner in which she apparently
met her death, he said. Coroner Dugan
of Philadelphia, who was present, seemed
to share DR.. Scholer's views. The womans
stomach and other organs were sealed up
and sent to the College Of Physicians and
Surgeons, where they will remain until
analyzed by chemist. The body will be
returned to Woodlawn cemetery today.

KNOX SPOKE AT P1rTsBURG.
Declared Congress Should Enact a
Railway Rate Law.

The Pittsburg chamber OF commerce ban
quet in that city last night, which con-
cluded the founders day celebration of the
Carnegie Institute, was an event of ma
honal Importance, the roster of speakers
being the most brilliant In the history of
the organization.
John Eaton, president of the chamber Of
commerce, presided, and Representative
John Dalzell was toastmaster. Three hun
dred of Pittsburg's representative busi-
ness and professional men were seated a:
the banquet table, and were keen, alert
and critical, but warmly appreciative Of
the telling points made by the speakers
The principal speakers were Senator
Philander C. Knox. Sir Chanting Lang
Cheng, the Chinese minister; Cen A. w.
Greedy, commander of the u. s. signal
service and Melville E. Stone, general
manager of the Associated Press
Special Importance attaches to the ad-
dress of Senator Knox, as his expressions
are believed to voice the views of Presi-
dent Roosevelt on the advisabiity of Con-
gress exercising more fully its power in
respect to railroad rates.
Senator Knox declared that one may

Utilizing the Water Hyacinth.

lady in Texas suggests that II the De-
partment of Agriculture would attend to Its
business properly the water hyacinth, which
| is found in many Of the rivers, lakes and
ponds Of the south. might be transformed
from first-class nuisance into valuable
forage plant and fertilizer.
1T is practically an air plant" she de-
clares, "since 1t has no hold on the earth,
though 1t always grows more rapidly In
shallow water. Cattle eat it greedly and 1t
seems to agree with them. 1t Is said to be
extremely rich in nitrogen, and should
therefore. be fine fertilizer. The great OBJ
lection to It is its rapid growth and that
should be an advantage. 1t might be made
SO valuable that every marsh, creek, farm
pond or shallow lake would be utilized as a
feeding place for cattle"
Prof P H. Rolls, the we'll known botanist
of Florida, who Is now In Washington, has
had a great deal to do with the water hya-
cinth. and told me some interesting things
about 1t. He agrees with the lady from
Texas that 1t might be made useful a
forage plant and fertilizer but explains that
the amount of nutritious matter contained
in the plant is so small and the proportion
of moisture great that 1t will not give
sufficient nourishment to any animal when
used alone. 1t is a good deal like popcorn
or custard. 1t will not fatten or give
strength unless 1t is mixed with other solid
food. For the same reason 1t is not good
for fertilizing purposes. When 1t is cut and
thrown out to dry 1t shrinks almost entirely
away.
The growth of the water hyacinth has
been SO rapid in the rivers of Florida and
other southern states and in the bayous of
Louisiana as to block navigation. In the st.
John river, in Florida, for example, and in
several other streams navigation has been
entirely suspended several times on that ac-
count. and the Engineer Corps of the War
Department Is now compelled to keep
gang of men at work with a special steamer
clearing away the plant. This is done by
Evening star., 1905-11-04

spraying the leaves with poison. A little
steamer has been fitted up with tanks of
poisoned water and long iron pipes project
ing over It's bows on either quarter. The
hyacinth floats on the surface of the water
and by its rapid growth the roots become
tangled and are SO tough that 1t Is often
impossible for an ordinary boat to get
through them. The poison boat, however,
crowds its way along and pushes its nose
into the mass of tangled vegetation, squirt
ing Its poisoned waters over the plants.
which in a few days wither and die. when
they are raked out of the streams. So rapid
is the growth however, that the boat is kept
busy. Almost every river in Florida has to
be cleared once or twice a year.
An Englishman at Jacksonville has re-
Gently invented machine for making paper
out of the fiber of the water hyacinth, and
a, company has been formed to develop the
industry. Thus far, however. it is only in
the experimental stage.

ceedings in the case of Commander Lucien
Young, recently in command of the ill-fated

ligence with respect to the accident to the
vessel at San Diego.
AS usual In such cases. no information

acted upon by the Secretary of the Navy
or by the President in case II goes that

Gift From Chinese Emperor.


President will shortly receive another off,
cial gift from China in the form of por-
trait of the Emperor Kwang-Su. Hubert
Vos. the famous Dutch artist, who has
taken out naturalization papers in the
United States. and has studio in New
York city, visited China several years ago
and painted the portrait of Prince Ching.
the prime minister and several of the man
darins Then, through the influence or
Mrs Conger, the empress dowager gave
commission to Miss Carl, an American
artist, who painted four portraits of her
majesty one of them being presented to
the President of the United States.
This marked an epoch in Chinese his
tory 1t was a radical departure from the
traditional etiquette of ages. Until re-
Gently the persons of the sovereign of
China and members of the Imperial famlly
have been considered too sacred Tor human
ewes to look upon. When the Son OF
Heaven" left his palace grounds, up to
the time of the Boxer troubles, the police
hung canvas screens over the front WIN
dows Of every house on every street
through which his sacred person expected
10 mass in order that 1t might not be the
object of sacrilege. Common people who
have looked upon the emperor or CHINA
have been beheaded many time. The
doWager empress never permitted the public
to look upon her face until she rode
through Legation street, in the city Of
Picking, in an open sedan chair on her re-
turn from exile after the Boxer war. This
departure from one of the strictest customs
of the court created profound sensation,
because she did not try to hide
her face but bowed and smiled at the la
dies of the foreign legations who stood
by the roadside to witness the scene.
Then came the portrait incident, and Miss
Carl is now describing her extraordinary
experiences in the pages of the Century
Magazine. In the opinion of people who
have lived in China she can never again re-
turn to Picking. The crime OF lese majestic
which she has committed in gossiping pub

Imperial palace will prevent that. Others
