One of the first rules in making
cake is to see that the oven is of the
right temperature. Then prepare the
pan. Line it with ungreased paper.
Do not lap the paper in the corners.
Cut a piece as wide as the pan is long
and have il long enough TO extend an
inch above the sides of the pan. Fit
separate pieces into the ends. The
paper can be removed as readily as
when creased, and if the cake should
get too brown on the bottom much
Of it will be removed with the paper.
Having the oven and pan ready, see
that all of the ingredients are at hand,
measured and ready for use.
Butter for Cakes.-Butter should
never be melted for cake, as it makes
a cake coarse in texture. If the butter
is very hard, allow it to stand on the
kitchen table for a time, in order that
it may be more easily measured and
creamed.
Measuring - Butter should be
packed sOlidly when it is measured,
and dry ingredients should be meas
ured lightly. Flour should always be
sifted before it is measured
MiXing.-Two motions are used in
mixing eake-stirring and beating
Use a stirring motion to combine the
ingredients, and then beat to inclose
air and give a fine texture. Always
make beating the last motion.
Baking.-BakiEg a cake requires
great care 1t doesn't matter how
well a cake has been mixed, if it is not
cooked properly it will be a failure.
Have the oven moderately hot at first,
so that the cake can rise. When the
oven is too hot a crust will form, and
be broken as the cake rises. When
the cake has risen increase the tenn
perature and bake until it shrinks
from the pan, and when pressed light
ly with the finger no impression is
left When all is said, experience is
the best teacher in this, as in many
other things.

New Type of Power Boat.

The new gliding type power boat belong
ing to Mr.. Bruce Emerson of Alexandria
continues to attract much attention by her
fast speed performances on the river off
Alexandria. The boat is out several even-
ings each week. and her presence on the
river always attracts a throng of interested
spectators to the wharves to witness her
performances.
The correct dimensions Of Mr. Emerson's
boat are thirty eight feet long and eight
feet beam at the stern Instead of a thir-
ty-four horsepower engine she is equipped
with a three-cylinher two-cycle engine
rated at between fifteen and twenty horse
power A speed of twenty-five miles, 1t is
claimed, has been made by the boat. and
she Is capable of making even faster time.
The secret of the boats speed is said to
be the fact that by a new arrangement
of syphons a cushion of air is forced under
the boat between the hull and the water
and such acting as ball bearing reduces
the friction and enables the small engine to
drive the rather large hull through the
water very rapidly.

northeast Anthony B. Haske was in the
Police Court today on a charge of making
threats toward Mary Dwyer Judge Mills
ordered the defendant to give 500 bond to
keep the peace for six months.

that stable of Mrs. Dwyer was over the
line on his property. Finally, 1t was de-
clared, Haske drove staple into the barn
with the evident intention Of pulling down
the structure. Mrs. Dryers family tried
to drive the staple out of the barn and then
matters reached a crisis.
Mrs. Dwyer testified that Haske picked
up big stick and made threats toward
her. That the defendant denied, claiming
that he intended no harm.
This man says he picked up the stick to
protect himself from this woman Judge

power her with his arms and fists. l think
he had better give 500 real estate bond to
keep the peace"

INQUIRY rs NOW ON
GEN. DARLINGTON DIGGING INTO
MANILA ARMY SCANDAL.

The War Department has learned that
Brigadier General Ernest A. Darlington.
who was specially charged by Secretary
Taft to make further investigation into
the alleged irregularities in the quarter
masters department in the Philippines, ar
rived in Manila July 5, and entered upon
his work the following day.
The original investigation was based on
the allegation that number or army Off
GERS stationed in the Philippines had caused
lot of expensive furniture to be manu-
featured for their use and for souvenirs
to be sent to their friends in the states,
for which no proper return was made to
the government. Gen. Leonard Wood, upon
discovering the condition of affairs, made
report on the subject to the War De-
partment, which was the basis of several
special inquiries. Much conflicting testi-
mony was taken, the result of which was
to leave in doubt the question as TO whether
or not any of the officers had been cul-
pable to a degree that affected their in
tesrity or whether they had been simply
careless.
The names of some officers of high rank
were brought into the case to their great
indignation, as they declared that they
had settled in full at the highest market
price for the furniture produced by the
army quartermasters mechanics. 1t APP
peared that the method of Keeping accounts
III tDe quartz SLopS was tHc tauSS
for the different statements made to the
investigators, and it is certain that in some
cases it was clearly established that an
amount of labor was charged up against
certain articles utterly out of proportion
to their value. So Gen. Darlington was
instructed by Secretary Taft to proceed to
Manila and endeavor to get at the bottom
of the trouble. Upon his report will de-
pend the course to be adopted by the de-
partment in it's treatment of certain officers
alleged to have misused their privileges.

Injuries to Barge.

Barge No. II of the Consolidation Coal

what battered condition with a cargo Of
1,676 tons of Maine ice for the American Ice
Company, and is lying at the wharf foot OF
10th street to unload. While lying in the
kennebec river, before sailing for this city,
the barge was struck, it is stated, by an
other vessel and was slightly damaged.
After leaving Bath for this city in tow of
the big tug Georges Creek of the Console
dation Company fleet of towboats, she was
anchored off the Massachusetts coast, and
While lying there a fourmasted schooner
fouled her and broke her rail- and carried
away some of her planking. The broken
timibers were high above the water, so that
she was able to continue her journey down
the coast toward this city without stop
ping for repairs. The barge was reported to
have sailed from Bath July %, but it was
week or ten days later before the tug
took her to sea and started down the coast
for the Chesapeake.

PANAMA PANIC AFLOAT
PASSENGERS BADLY SCARED,
BUT BOAT LITTLE HURT.


NEW YORK, August 14.-Through
prompt action on the part of officers and
crew of the steamboat Adirondack of the
Peoples line serious loss of life was
averted when the vessel took fire in the
Hudson river. north of Newburg, last
night. There were about 900 passengers
aboard the vessel, and scores became panic
stricken when the flames We're discovered
and rushed wildly about the decks, many
in scanty attire.
Discipline prevailed among the crew. and
while some fought the fire others did what
they could to restore order among the pas
sengers.
Capt Woolsey of the Adirondack de
ctded to beach the big steamboat. She
soon ran the sand bars, 100 yards off
Roselon. small place about six miles north
of Newburg.
Three other river steamboats, were just
astern of the Adirondack They were the
Greenport of the Citizens line, the MARI
borough of the Central Hudson line and
the Catskill liner City of Hudson.
AS the Adirondack started inshore the
other steamboats, ran alongside, the Marl-
borough on the port side and the Green
port to starboard. AS soon as they were
close enough lines were passed and gang
pjanks put aboard from the Adirondack.
Then there was frightened, panicky rush
OF passengers who wished to leave the Adj
Iohuack ABOUT 3oo scrambled ABOARD the
Marlborough, while about the same num-
Der We're taken off by the Greenport.
The Greenport took her passengers to
Poughkeepsie, from which place they We're
forwarded to Albany. The Marlborough
stood by until the flames on the Adirondack
were drenched out
Then the Marlborough and the City of
Hudson passed lines to the Adirondack and
she was pulled into deep water. The pas
sengers taken off by the Marlborough went
back on board and the Adirondack prOceed-
ed to Albany under her own steam.
The damage to the Adirondack was not
very great, the blaze was pretty we'll
confined to the flimsy woodwork frame.
