MEAT IN MEXTCO,

They have d paternal government in Mexico. They also have meat trust there. The government has undertaken to knock out the meat trust, at least as far w Mexico City is concerned. Government meat markets are to be es- tablished throughout the city and the Federal district under the personal di- rection of the governor of the district Meats will be sold at actual cost, and lower if necessary, in order to drive the trust out of business. The government will do its own purchasing of live stock, and will also operate its own slaughter house. The local meat trust recently increased the price of meat to a figure that made it out of reach of the poorer class and this caused the government to go into the meat business itself.
 This looks bad for the Mexican meat trust, because the Mexican government will not be hampered in fighting the trust in the way some governments would be. The United States govern ment, for instance, couldn't very well fight a meat trust, if there were such a thing in this country.

 The bread for sandwiches should be baked two days before 1t is used For three loaves scald one pint of milk; add three cupfuls of cold water, one heaping teaspoonful of salt, one table spoonful of sugar or two of molasses and ono of yeast cake, dissolved in a quarter cupful of warm water. Sift in sufficient entire wheat or graham flour to make drop batter beat hard un- til free from Jumps then cover and stand in warm place until the bat ter is very light and spongy. Add more sifted flour to make a soft dough, using either all entire wheat or that and white flour half and half, according to whether d very dark or lighter colored loaf is desired. Take out on d floured board, knead until the dough is soft and velvety to the touch then return to the bowl, cover and keep warm until il is fully doubled In size. Divide into three loaves, using long narrow pans if possible, as this gives a better shap- ed sandwich. When light in the pans bake in moderate oven for about ar hour Wrap in q moist cloth and let stand until cool (this gives a softer crust) Put aside until needed.
 One quart of flour will make about thirty small biscuits. Sift with each quart two teaspoonfuls of baking DOW der, one teaspoonful each of salt and sugar and rub in two large tablespoons of butter Wet to a soft dough with sweet milk, knead for moment or two and roll out in a thin sheet With a sharp knife cut in two inch strips, then cut each strip in small diamonds. Place slightly apart on greased pans, brush the tops with milk and bake in a quick oven.
 In making bread sandwiches trim off all crust and butter the end of the loaf before cutting in thin slices. Press these together in pairs and cut into various fancy shapes Split and but ter the cold diamonds then put to- gether again.

J. Martin Miller, United States con- sul at Rheims, France, says that two leading American typewriting ma chimes were recently placed in a busi- ness house there for trial. One of these machines had the advantage of it's competitor in reputation, but the less known and undoubtedly the infe- rior machine had the greater advan- tage of having a live representative; a German with an American business ed- ucation and a knowledge of the French language. This agent explained to the head of the firm and the opera tor on the typewriter all attachments and improvements and how the ma chine would write in two colors by simply shifting the ribbon. The clever sales agent was on a campaign of edu- cation, and he made the sale over the native French agent. whs had a ma

Three Autographs and q Banner but No
visitors At COnners's Rooms.

There we're two innovations at Demo-
cratic State Headquarters at the Victoria
Hotel yesterday. The Buffalo Convention
adjourned fifteen days ago, and yesterday
on the Twenty-seyenth street side Of the
headquarters there were three Autographs
OF Mr.. Hearst tackled in the windows. Out

paigns, naming the candidates OF the Buffalo
Convention and the Independence League.
wa flung across Fifth avenue.
These features, the Autographs and the
banner, were acceptable reliefs from the
monotony that has marked every hour,
day and night, at Democratic Headquarters
since they were opened a week ago Mon
day.
But neither the Autographs nor the
banner brought an increase in the number
Of visitors. Billy Watson, the sergeant at
arms, was still on duty TO receive Demo-
Gratis who did not turn up. Clerk Mason
had gone to Albany for the day, and Chair
man Corners meandered about the head
quarters, quizzing the employees and
trotting between headquarters and the

there is nothing Of any kind to mark the
fact tina a political headquarters is in the
building. People nave remarked and are
remarking each day this singular state OF
affairs. They say they do not know hat
it means. They are mystified. Instead Of
the hustle and hurly-burly and whirl Of a
political headquarters, the rooms are ut
eerly deserted.
But then some of the wise men in the con-
fdence OF Mr.. Hearst say that the real work
of the campaign for him is being conducted
at Newburgh by Arthur A. Mclean, treas
urer Of the Democratic State committee.

ALBANY, Oct. 12.-Capt. William {. Clark
OF Canastota Inc the Erie Canal steamed
into port to-day with a certificate placing
in nomination the W~ashingtonian State
ticket. The petition lacked two essential
things. Two Of the candidates had declined
and the captain had neglected to get any
signatures for his petition, State nomina-
tions requiring 5000 signatures, at least
hfty from each county. At the Office of the
Secretary OF State the captain vehemently
denounced John Raines and his election
law and said Il was designed to keep honest
men from running for Office.

mariner, n II l took this petition through

six offices on the State ticket if the law
would permit.

the captain, with fire in his eye. Il have
been up and down the raging Erie and nave
found plenty OF sentiment for Capt. Bill

nominate follows: For Governor, Capt .

Rare Illuminated Man uscripts Exhibited
at Columbia. University.
A large number Of people viewed the j.
Pierpont Morgan collection OF illuminated
manuscripts. which war exhibited at Column
bia University yesterday for the first time.
The manuscripts represented some Of the
rarest specimens OF art in the middle ages.
There are sixty-three volumes in all. repre-
senting nearly every country in Europe,
and all Of them are from two hundred to
twelve hundred years old.
The oldest are samples OF the Christian
art Of the eighth century. One Of them,
a life of Christ, contains thirty full page
miniatures in brilliant coloring, in which
gold predOminates. The specimens of
English painting contain a bestiary Of
the year 1850, with 100 miniatures Of birds
and beasts. Another interesting book is the
Minuscule Bible, made about 1900, which is
ilIuminated with 142 mipiatures. Its only five
inches long and three inches wide and was
formerly the property Of King Philip H.,
whose coat OF arms IL bears.
Other books that had royal owners
were the French Sock Of Hours, once the
property Of King James H.; a life OF Christ.
written for Francis l. of France, and an
Italian copy Of the Scriptures from the
collection OF Pope Eugene1V. Other works
that occupy an important place in the his
tory of art were the Flemish specimens.
One Of these is lone by the same painter
who produced the BTevami Grimani, now
in st. Marks Library, Venice.
