knickerbocker Trust Company Likely
to Resume.

New York, Dec. 1S.-A plan for the
resumption of business by the Knicker-
booker Trust company was agreed to
by the Parsons and Walker commit
tees, representing depositors, and the
Bourne committee, representing the
stockholders. Another depositors' com
mittee is still undecided.
The plan provides for the payment
Of all deposits preferred by law in
full and Of 10 per cen of all other
deposits on date Of resumption, with
the balance payable in small INSTALL
ments at stated intervals, the whole
to be paid within two years and four
months. Under the plan a majority of
the stock is to be placed in the con-
troll of Henry c. Frick, Myron T. Her
rick, former governor of Ohio, and
Lewis Cass Ledyard. The board of
directors of the concern shall also be
acceptable to these men.

BATTLESHIP NORTH DAKOTA
Work Begun on Uncle Sans Greatest
Warship.

Quincy, Mass. Dec. 1S.-At the mo
ment the guns OF Admiral Evans fleet
were roaring out their farewell salute
at Fortress Monroe the first keel plate
of the great battleship North Dakota,
the largest b%attleship in the world
with the exception of her sister ship,
the Delaware, was laid in the yards of
the Fore River Shipbuilding company
here. A fourth larger than the largest
ship now in the American navy the
actual construction of the North Da~
kota may now be said to have begun.
The first plate laid was No. 10. There
are twenty of these plates, each TWEEN
ty-four feet long and each weighing
1000 pounds. AS soon as the first
plate vas laid frames We're attached to
It.
The contractor has three years In
which to complete the building of the
ship, but the officers Of the company
say that they will be able to complete
the North Dakota, provided the mate
rial is not delayed, so that her launch
ing may take place in ten months. ,

WORK OF UNRULY NEGROES
Three Italians Killed and Several
Wounded in Louisiana.

New Orleans, Dec. 1S.-Dispatches
from several Northwest Louisiana
points, where three italians have been
killed and several wounded since Sat
urday night, indicate that the trouble
has not been quite so serious as at
first reported. Instead Of the fighting
occurring between white residents of
Chathamville, La, and vicinity, as for
merly reported, a late dispatch indi-
Gates that probably less than a dozen
unruly negroes committed nearly, if
not all the assaults. There is some
ground for suspicion, however, that
the whites, through i'll feeling towards
the Italians for accepting reduced
wages, failed to exercise the restrain
ing hand which they usually keep over
the negroes in that section. A posse
from Shreveport, La, has left for the
scene of the assaults to restore order
and to arrest the negroes.

SATISFIED WITHExPERIMENT
Aurora (III.) Doctor Lives Sixty Days
on Peanut Diet.

Chicago, Dec. 18.-After living for
sixty days on peanuts and lemonade
DIR. T. j.. Allen of Aurora has an
nounced that he believed a combina-
tion of peanuts and bananas for the
steady diet of the world would solve
the servant girl problem.
And just as it will solve the servant
girl problem by the elimination of
servants the Aurora ~"monodietist" in
sists it will solve the cooking problem
by the elimination of cooks, the res
taurant problem by the elimination of
restaurants and the %dyspeptic problem
by the elimination of dyspepsia.
DR.. Allen is planning now to taper
off on the peanut diet by mixing in
bananas and will begin a sixty-day
banana diet early in January.

carefully put on; black socks, a pair of
boots, q watch and chain. handkerchief
and even a pocketknife, with a straw

Farm Brevities.

AS winter comes on look after the
comforts of your milk cows. The best

Let the sunshine into the stables.
It is a great deodorizer and purifier
and the deadly foe of tuberculosis.
It doesn't pay to compel stock to
stand in drafts. Lumber is high. but
not so expensive as ailing horses and

The dairyman who carries a herd Of
dry COWS or strippers through the win
ter is not likely to find his occupation
remunerative.
If there are any low places about
the barn and yards where puddlss col

and thereby possibly avoid a broken
leg and the loss of a favorite animal.
If your hogs have not done so we'll
as you expected. find out the cause.
It may have been in the breeding, but
more likely it was because of early
mistakes in feeding. A judiciously Sc.
lected pig given the proper treatment
seldom disappoints his owner.-Farm

men died instantly. The e%lectrocu'

Osborne in which he declared himself
innocent. He did not deny, however,
being present when the women were

letters, one of them to Horncr. In his
letter Gibson admitted the crime and

FIGHT IF NECESSARY
Persians Determined to Defend
.. Their Constitution.
AT WAR WITH THE THRONE
Parliament Issues Manifesto to the
World Explaining the Present Crisis
In the Affairs of the Country and
Appealing for Assistance.

Teheran, Dec. 1S.-On behalf of the
nation the Persian parliament has is
sued a manifesto to the world explain
ing the present constitutional crisis
and appealing for assistance. The
manifesto, which was distributed to
the foreign legations and consulates
here, says:
when the affairs of the empire
had fallen into a hopeless state the
nation saw it's only salvation in con-
stitutional government. The late
shah granted a constitution and the
reigning shah confirmed it, but per-
sons who under the despotic regime
were accustomed to Cypress the peo-
pie misled our young sovereign into
the belief that the constitution was
the cause of the present troubles.
THE nation wants to do nothing
that will disturb peace, but in view of
the attack of the reactionary members
of the government it will defend the
constitution, it's only hope, to the ut
most.
"By means Of this manifesto the Per-
sian nation makes known to all lega-
tons and foreign diplomatic %represen-
tatives the actual condition of affairs
and informs them that the sovereign
is violating his covenant with the peo-
pie. 1t makes this announcement to
all the nations of the world, convinced
that they will show b%rotherly love to
the 10000, 900 Persians and not allow
their rights to be trampled under foot"
The negotiations between the shah
and parliament have up to the pres
ent time been without result. The
members of the old cabinet are hold
ing a council in the palace. The post
Office and all shops in Teheran are
closed and no newspapers are being
published.

NEGLECTED BAYBERRIEs.
Time Was When the Crop Was Eager.
w Harvested.

Years ago when the first froSts had
come Connecticute people went out to
pick the punches Of bayberries to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic
smell Of the leaves that the pickerS
crushed in pulling off.
We no longer pick bayberries for
company candles for the winter time.
Except a few romantic souls who gath
err berries enough to make a candle or
two for old memories, a few faddists
who want to try to make bayberry can
dies by some discovery or other in Il
magazine and some stanch old New
Englanders who love to get out in the
pastures on a crisp fall d~ay-these are
all who gather the bayberries now.
Left to themselves, the clumps of
bushes have spread out and in some
cases overrun whole pastures. In some
parts of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tall.
In Branford. on the coast. there are
almost bayberry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall and some even taller. These
bayberries must be very old. You can
not help wondering how many crops
have been picked off them in years
past
AS early as 1717 the town records
show that the gathering Of bayberries
Oh the highways and common was for
hidden before Sept. Is. A fine of III
shillings for each violation was the
penalty. 1t appears that the wax from
the berries was used in making Il
backing and a salve and that bayberr5'
wax continued an article of trade i'll
Branford down to the last fifty years.
Human nature being about the same
one century to another, there was
probably in 1717 a great complaining
Of people who picked the berries "be-
fore they were half ripe" or "got up
mornings before anybody else had a
chance;'' hence the regulation and the
fine.
But what a breathless, hurried bay

morning of Sept. 15!-Hartford Con-

POTATO sKRINKAGE.
About Ten Per Cent In Sound, Proper
Iy Stored Tubers.

Every one knows how potatoes shrink
and change their favor as the winter
grows late. The water tends to evap-
crate, and this is accompanied by GER
tain chemical changes within the tuber.
The temperature Of the storage room
AFFECTS especially the activity of the
p%rotoplasm and the production of wa
ter and carbonic acid from the sugar.
and thus it is that potatoes stored in
a warm place are more likely to shrink
than those in a cool place.
When They Are Frozen.
These facts also suggest why frozen
potatoes have such Il sweet taste. The
change of starch into sugar by the en-
zymes goes On regardless of the cold.
but the activity of the cell protoplusm
is checked by the cold, and instead of
being broken down the sugar accumu-
lates. The sweet taste is more notice
able in tubers which have been slowly
frozen than in those subjected to a
sudden cold, because the sugar has had
a longer opportunity to form. II frozen
potatoes are left for a few days in Il
moderate temperature, part of the
sugar will revert to starch and the
sweet taste in a measure disappear,
but such potatoes never wholly regain
their original favor.
Favorable Temperature.
Of purse the amount of material
which is broken down during storage
will vary with the conditions, but
sound potatoes properly stored should
not shrink more than 10 or 10 per cent.
The most favorable temperature for
keeping potatoes is from 80 to so de-
grees f., and if the storeroom is dry.
we'll aired and partly lighted they are
less likely to be attacked by disease or
harmful bacteria.-C. +. Langworthy.

Saw. tho Alfalfa Leaves.

Save your alfalfa leaves for the lay
ing hens this winter. On every farm
where alfalfa is raised large quanti-
ties OF the leaves collect on the Darn
floor. This should be gathered up
daily and put away in barrels or boxe
for future use, for these leaves are
the choicest part of the hay. The
hens will eat large quantities Of this
dry If it be supplied in conveniently
arranged boxes, SO made as to prevent
the birds from wasting it. The best
way, however, to feed it is to scald 1t
with hot water and put some cornmeal
with it. The fowls relish it exceeding
", and it goes far toward taking the
place of green food, which is not al
ways obtainable in the winter months.
Besides, 1t will " a considerable
portion of the grain ration. for the
fowls that have plenty of alfalfa VIII
not need SO much grain as those that
are deprived Of it.-Kansas Farmer.

Number of Victims of Alabama
Mine Disaster.

birmingham, Ala, Dec. 1S.-Thirty-
eight bodies have been taken from
mine No. l of the Yolande Coal and

covered that there is fire in the mines
and it may be impossible to reach
thirty or forty more bodies which are
in the deep entry. The explosion was
caused by a windy shot below the
second entry. There we're tw~enty-six
men taken out alive and who will re.

list will reach seventy.
