ALFONSO TO WE'D PRINCESS.
Young Spanish King Is to Marry
Ena of Battenberg

Spain is rejoicing at the announce
nlent that King Alfonso will we'd Princess
Euu of Battenberg in April The hoy
kings" subjects and ministers have long
wished to see him married, but the-youth-
full, lively, and somewhat eccentric mon
arch has shown a great deal of reluctance
to assume ne bonds of matrimony, and
when he dtd turn his attention to the
task of finding queen for Spain he
proved very difficult to please.
Princesses of various royal houses of
Europe have been reported as having won
the young kings heart, but the reports
proved not well founded. During his re-
cent visit in England King Alfonso dis
played great admiration for Princess Bea-
trice, King Edwards niece, and it was
heralded far and wide that the pretty
English princess would become queen of
Spain. This proved another error, for
Alfonso returned to Spain, still heart
whole and fancy free.
When he met Princess Ena of Batten-
berg, however, the young monarch capitu-
lated at once to her charms He paid
ardent court to her and won her consent
30 share his throne.
The young king is the godchild of Pope
Leo Mi. and the Infanta Isabel. His
name is Alfonso Leon Francisco Pascual
He was not of rugged constitution, a
fact which has given much uneasiness in
Spain, but he has been carefully trained
and has developed into an athletic young
man.
The queen regent, Dona Maria Girls
tina, relinquished the reins of govern
ment on her sons accession to the throne.

Phenomenal Auto Sales.

The automobile shows just closed in
New York City smashed all previous rec
ords. There were 100000 enthusiastic
men and women spectators during the
week and the sales were phenomenal.
Three million dollars worth of autonc-
biles were sold to individual buyers FOR
private use, and at least $7,000,000 worth
more were sold to wholesalers and agents.
When the auto men left the shows, tired
to exhaustion by their seven days of exer-
ton, they were happier than ever before.
A canvass of the exhibitors showed that
every one of them had done an excellent
business during the week. Some have
scored heavier than others, and at least
three makers may be said to have closed
contracts for their entire output, and
they will now prepare for 1907 models.

Field Marshal Lord Roberts, in his
recent speech before the Liverpool Cham
Der of Commerce, again affirmed that the
nation was as absolutely unprepared for
war as it was in 1899. He urged the
adoption of a million men as the military
standard. half of whom would be needed
for the defense of India and the other
half to fit the nation to maintain a Euro
pean struggle.
Lord Roberts said he had heard of the
renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance
with enthusiasm. but he reminded his
audience that national conditions and ma
tIonal necessities were subject to change,
and thai the alliance only applied to
Asia and not to Europe, where the dan
ger was greater

Cause of Ritter MILK.

Bitter milk is one of the most an
noying ills with which a dairyman can
be afflicted. Bitterness sometimes de-
velops in the best kept diaries, while
the most slOvenly will be immune. Its
cause is an organism resembling the
ordinary yeast; in fact, it is a yeast.
1t is originally found on the leaves Of
trees, just as the yeast organism is
found on hops, but is easily transmit
ted to milk cows or the stable dust
When once these yeast organisms gain
admittance to milk they find condi-
tons favorable for their development
and proceed to reproduce themselves,
hence the bitter taste in milk, cream
and butter. To remove the source of
infection is no small task, for in all
the crevices of every can in which
milk has been kept there will be found
sufficient of the yeast to carry on in
lection. It is, therefore, necessary to
thoroughly clean, scald, and scrape the
seams of every vessel 10 which milk
has been kept, then carefully white
wash the milkhouse, cellar or pantry,
and this should prevent further devel-
opment in the house. AT the same
time sweep down the walls and ceiling
of the stables and give all the inside
thorough coat of whitewash or a
spraying with some disinfectant, such
as bichloride of mercury, /. to 1000
parts OF water.

AWFUL MURDER RECORD.
With Exception of Italians, Ameri-
cans Are Most HOmicidaI Nation.

cans Are Most HOmicidaI Nation.
According to the unofficial statistics
gathered in 1905, as in previous years,
by the Chicago Tribune, there were 9,212
homicides committed in the United States
during the twelvemonth just ended. This
country remains on the bad eminence
it has long occupied in the history of
crime; indeed, we have increased our
lead, for the number of homcides was
greater by $40 in 1905 than it was in
the previous year. The record consti-
tutes shocking Indictment.
With the single exception of the Ital-
ians the American people are the most
homicidal nation in the civilized world.
In fact, we are running neck and neck
with Italy with respect to the ratio of
violent CRIMES resulting in death. In the
latter country the homicides number 105
per million of inhabitants per year; in
this country last year the ratio was 115
per million.
A comparison with the criminal statis-
tics of other leading nations will serve
to emphasize the indictment and make it
positively terrifying. Thus the annual
average ratio of homicides to population
is ID per million to German, 10 per mill
ion in France and 81 per million in the
United Kingdom.

TREATY HAS A JOKER.
Makes s7,OOO,OO0 Worthless Do
mingo Scrip Good.

Makes $s,OOO,OOO worthless Los
mingo Scrip Good.
The attention of Secretary Root and
of members of the Senate committee on
foreign relations has been called TO a
Joker in the Santo Domingo treaty and,
according to a Washington corresponds
ent. it is causing them worry.
The Joker" is in article 1, which
reads: 1.-THE United States undertakes to
secure an arrangement of all obligations
of the Dominican government, foreign as
we'll as domestic; the arrangement for
payment and the conditions of amortiza-
tor; the consideration of conflicting
and unreasonable claims and the decis-
ion as to the validity and amount OF all
pending claims already liquidated and
accepted or which may be established
1t was the original intention Of the
President that the money collected from
the Dominican customs should re used in
settlement of the foreign claims only.
Under the heading of domestic claims
will come between $S,000,000 and So
100000 of scrip of La Dauda Deforida,'
the deferred debt. This scrip for forty
years has been of practically no value
not worth five cents on the dollar be-
cause of the doubt whether it ever would
be redeemed.
Now, the officials of the Dominican
government have bought all this scrip
they could reach, paying all the way
from 2 to 80 cents on the dollar. Emilio
Joubert, the minister from Santo Do
mingo, himself has admitted that he
would not now sell the scrip he holds for
% cents on the dollar, as he believes it
will be paid in FULL He says it will be
worth par the minute the treaty is rati-
fed by the Senate of the United States.
This deferred debt" is the outgrowth
of the Dominican revolutions of the last
forty years, which, except the last one
headed by Morales, all have been success
full. Whenever a revolutionary chief
while operating in the field requisitioned
cattle or services a voucher was given.
After the revolution was won this vouch-
er would be exchanged at the capital for
scrip of La Deuda Deferida,' duly regis
tered in the treasury books. The obliga-
lions of both sides always were recog-
nized because no successful faction was
ever sure it would not be among the
''outs" the next day.
Scrip also has been used by the govern
ment in the payment of the salaries of
officials and many influential men of the
republic now have considerable sums of
this paper. Revolutionary chiefs have
used it literally to reward friends for
services

This is what one careful farmer
says: 1 have no silo, but have been
watching my neighbors who have
silos and shall build this fall. 1 have
watched results attained by my neigh
bors who have been using them for
tive OF three years and am satisfied
that it ia a good and cheap way of
feeding cattle and sheep, even when
brewers malt may be had with
short haul. Ny judgment on the mat
ter of feed is that with alfalfa and
well-flled silo we can produce milk,
mutton and beef at small cost.

ing a dangerous man, made to the

coming as a climax to Mr.. Wallace's
description of the important part Mr..
Cromwell plays as Pooh-Bah of the ca
nal enterprise created d sensation. 1t
led to Mr.. Wallace being closely ques-
toned by Senator Morgan and other
members of the committee concerning
the apparently dominating influence
Mr.. Cromwell from the first has eXer-
cised in the affairs of the canal, al
though, according to the testimony Of
Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonts,
Mr.. Cromwell has no official connection
with the commission.
To substantiate his statement of
this close, if not dominating relation
ship, Mr.. Wallace quoted the official
statement issued by Secretary Taft in
passing criticism upon the Wallace
resignation, in which Secretary Taft
referring to the presence of Mr.. CrOm-
we'll at the famous Manhattan Hotel
conference, spoke of him as Mr..
Cromwell, who for some time has been
charged by the PRESIDENT and the Sec
rotary of War with general advisory
duties in all panama Canal affairs"

This strong bit of cOrrOborative tes-
timony added keen Zest to the already
whetted appetite of the canal investi-
gators for light upon the peculiar rela-
tionship of Mr. Cromwell to this ca
nal enterprise. and Mr.. Wallace was
not backward in giving it to them.
Mr. Wallace attributes his clash with
Secretary Taft to the Vaccinations of
Mr. Cromwell. That he feels keenly
the position in which Secretary Taft's
published criticism of his action in
resigning his position as chief engi-
neer have placed him before the coun-
try and that he believes he was very
badly treated in that attack upon his
motives and character and integrity,
was made plain by Mr. Wallace.
He related the details of his selec-
ton as chief engineer and said he
made a protest particularly against
what he called red tape methods and
a multiplicity of masters, and then
read a long statement. He first spoke
of the violent attack upon me which
Secretary Taft and Mr.. Cromwell gave
to the newspapers last June" and ask
ed that judgment upon the justice of
that attack be suspended until he had
an opportunity to explain to you why
think it was absolutely uncalled for
and unjustifable." He declared that
the only basis for this attack was a
difference of opinion between them "as
to my right to decide for myself when
l thought the welfare of the enterprise
and my own welfare justified me in
resigning my position"

Points on Sailing Butter.

At low churning temperature in
cool room butter usually comes in a
firm condition. In such a condition
butter takes salt with difficulty. 1t
is essential 10 work it more in order
to get the salt evenly distributed and
dissolved. Such an excessive amount
of working while butter is in hard
condition causes an undue amount Of
water to be expressed, thus making
the condition for dissolving sufficient
salt more unfavorable, besides lessen
ing the overrun without improving
the commercial value.

President Says that Special COnsid-
GRAFTON Is Due Enlisted Men.
That the uniform of an enlisted man
in the army or navy is badge of honor
which entities its wearer to peculiar con-
sideration is the position taken by Presi-
dent Roosevelt. The President himself
made it known in a letter to Secretary
Taft commenting on the court martial
of Lieut.. Roy |. Taylor, who was reduc-
ell twelve files recently for ordering an
enlisted man in his command to change
his seat in a theater because he was seat
ed in front of the lieutenant's party.
The President in his letter said in
part:
in my judgment Lieut. Taylor COM
mitted one of the most serious faults
which any officer can commit. | am glad
that he was reduced twelve files. 1t is
a pleasure to record the fact that his
offense was altogether exceptional in the
body to which he belongs
There is no body of men in this coun-
try of similar size which merits so Well
of the country as the body of officers and
enlisted men in the army and navy of
the United States. Not only should the
country as whole jealousy guard the
interests of these men and regard their
honor as being identified to a peculiar de-
gree and in a peculiar sense with his
own, but the members of the body should
themselves feel the same jealous eager
ness to uphold the honor and standing
of all connected with it. Above all this
should be the object of the officers as re-
CARDS the enlisted man.
ITO strive to discriminate against him
in any way is literally an infamy for it
is in reality one of the most serious of
lenses which can be committed against
the stability and greatness of our nation
If a hotel keeper or the owner of the
alter or any other public resort attempts
such discrimination, everything possible
should be done by all good citizens to
make the man attempting it feel the full
weight of just popular resentment, and
if possible legal proceedings should be
taken against him.
