Harrisburg, Pa, Oct. Sin the pres
ence Of the largest crowd that has
ever gathered in Harrisburg the mag
nificent new capitol of Pennsylvania
was dedicated with brief ceremonies
in which President Roosevelt took an
active part:
L Crowds began to gather about the
immense grandstand at the West State
street entrance to the capitol grounds
at daybrealS and when the exercises
began the place was one mass of hui
mainly. Before the exercises were
started rain began falling and contin-
ued throughout the ceremonies. Thou
sands stood in the drenching down
pour facing the presidents stand,
which was filled notwithstanding the
rain. Most of the ticket holders were
men, few women turning out on ac-
count of the bad weather.

SOME DELAY IN SECURING LISTS

Havana, Oct 5.-"The disarmament
OF the Cuban insurgents is progressing
as rapidly as can be reasonably ex,
pected," said Governor Taft. He add.
ed that the militia and volunteers
were being rapidly mustered out, the
only delay being due to the inability
of the American authorities to obtain
correct lists of the enrollments and
therefore the work might last until
Oct. Is, on which date the pay of the
troops terminates.
Captain McKeelvey, commanding the
marines at Pinar del Rio, telegraphs
that in addition to disarming the in
surgents he is disbanding 116 volun-
teers, who surrendered their arms to
him. He expects 1000 more fnsur-
gents to arrive there by train shortly.
Three hundred and eighty volunteers
at Pinar del Rio are being retained
under arms until all the insurgents
have laid down their weapons.
Another train carrying 400 of Pine
Guerra's men left Santiago de las
Vegas during the day for Pinar del
Rio. The insurgents are dispensing
under the same conditions at Cienfue-
gos. The only exceptions to the gen.
eral harmony reported is the deser-
ton of some volunteers at Palmas

half a dozen men and horses disap.

Governor Taft has detailed Major
J. X. Kean, who was one of the SAM
tary experts in the former American
occupation of the island and who has
| just arrived here, to assist in the re-
organization of the sanitary depart
ment necessitated by the large aug
mentation of the forces here. g
When asked what he was going to
do about the pay Of the Cuban SEN
ators and representatives Mr. Taft
replied:
Il have no intention of acting in
regard to that. 1t is a matter prop
erly referable to Washington and can

mont is completed" -,

Pressed to Death.

An English court has sentenced q
woman to imprisonment because she
refused to speak during a trial. The
old penalty for remaining mute under
similar conditions was being pressed
to death. The form Of sentence set
forth "the prisoner shall be laid in
some low, dark house, where he shall
lie naked on the earth and one arm
shall be drawn to one quarter Of the
house with cord and the other arm
to another quarter, and In the same
manner let 1t be done with his legs, and
let there be laid upon his body iron
and stone, as much as he can bear-or
more. There the man had to lie. On
the following day he was given three
morsels Of bread without water, on the
following water, but no bread. And
this was his diet until he died.

land Government in his Soldiers OF
the Common Good, in Everybody's:
Many Of the ideas that they have
since put into practice were very
vague with them when they began,
but one thing seemed clear enough.
They believed that most Of the evils
Of the world resulted from the UNI
even distribution of wealth, and that
they ought to do something to help
the men who were getting too little
to get more. A primitive way to
help was to keep them in good phys
ical condition; SO the campaign of

bills to improve health

one TO husk and silk while you pre-
pare the corn. After it has been
husked and the silks drawn of, cut
the grains down; do not cut too close
to the cob. and scrape the rest; have
a hot oven ready, put the corn in
bread pans and let it cook until, when
stirred with a spoon, no milk will
show. Keep well stirred while cook

stretcher ready, and scatter your
corn on it, Now, while this has been
cooking, you en-. prepare another

INFLUENCE OF DOORS.

The influence Of odors upon the
spirits cannot be oyerestimated. An
excellent and inyigorating perfume
to be used in the house is made from
sea salt and violet. Put some sea
salt in a wide-mouthed bottle and
pour in few drops of violet perfume
Close the bottle tight and let it stand
while; then open, and you get the
smell of the sea salt with a slight
tinge of violet. This is excellent to
use in the bath. Another perfume is
made by adding a grain Of musk, a
little essence of violet, and tea
spoonful of alcohol to the sea salt.
Let. stand three days before using.
A handful Of this in the bath viii give
forth sweet scent.

Honest Iniun 81 North Country.

Many curious instances of the man
ner in which the honesty Of the IN
dams manifests itself are cited in thea
North Country of the Canadian
Northwest.
One of the tales is of native who,
desiring food and tobacco and blank
cts, broke into the store Ola remote
trading post which had been locked
and abandoned for a few weeks
while the white man IN charge trans
acted business elsewhere. The Indian
supplied his needs, but, according to
the World, he left pelts in payment
for what he took and months later
he ca back to ascertain if he had
left enough.
One Indian found a post closed
when he went to it to dispose of his
skins. Being unwilling to wait, he
forcibly entered and left his pack,
but nothing with it to indicate his
identity. Then he retired, fastening
the door as best he could, and not
until year later did he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story the price of the skins
was handed over to him without
question. The accounts of the white
man had been carefully kept, and he
was certain that no claim but just
one would be made.
An unusual degree of confidence is
reposed in the half-breeds, who are
iieutenants Of the white traders. In
Edmonton saw a trader give one OF
his half-breed employees $3.50 to be
taken to a distant post and there dis.
tributed as wages to others. The two
shook hands and parted, not to meet
for a year, and the white man said
he was sure not cent Of the money
would fail to reach its rightful des-
tination.
In the town of Edmonton itself
honesty seems to vie with hospital
ity for the credit of being the most
prominent trait Of the citizens.
Scores of thousands of dollars worth
of furs are stored there in ware
houses which are seldom or never
locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts are
put under lock and key. and then the
purpose is more to protect from acci-
dental damage than from possible
theft.
