A FireleSS Cooker.

Wives of the farmer, wives in fact of all
sorts who haYe TO do their own cooking,
may take comfort, for the Department. Of
Agriculture is coming to their relief with
the esfreless cooker.'' This sounds almost
TOO good to be true; in fact, it is not true
literally, for while the cooker does work
without fire, it has to have modicum Of
fire to start it. Nevertheless it is pratt
cal suggestion, and one worth considering
by women who have to do their own work
and who want to economic heat in the
summer and fuel at all times.
The Department has imported the idea
from Sweden where it has been in use for
about hundred years, and whence the
Commissary Department of the army also
got it and is now using it with good results.
Drawings and specifications are given in
one of the farmers bulletins just issued by
the Department, and can be had on appica-
ton.
The cooker consists merely of heating
box, one packed tightly with straw, felt or
even newspapers. The food, meat or yege-
tables is brought TO boil over the fire in
a tight-coYered tin bucket, and is then put
into the box cooker and shut up. 1t takes
about twice as long to cook in this way as
over the fire, but the result is said to be
better: there is no heat or smell, and the
fuel is reduced to a minimum. The De-
partment will furnish additional informa-
zion to those interested. Post Telegram.

Impenitent and Uqly

The Republican Senators at Trenton have
already shown themselves to be impenitent,
discourteous, impolitic, unmanly and Of ug-
ly temper. They have done some good
things, perhaps, though their motives are so
evident that nobody can tell whether their
acts have been good or bad until every bill
introduced and passed has been exhaustive
ly examined to discover how much of it is
real craftsmanship and how much is mere
partizan political trickery.
Every act is subject to suspicion because
characterized by the same contemplate fea-
lures that marked the work of the regular
season last spring. Every insult that could
be offered to reform and reformers has been
heaped upon Senator Colby and upon every
measure or motion he has introduced He
has been purposely Indignantly ignored and
refused recognition as a Republican.
Senator Colby can stand this better than
can the narrow minded men who claim TO
represent the Republican party in the SEN
ate. They have not so much insulted Mr.
Colby as they haye the intelligent, honest
people Of New Jersey They have shown
that they have learned nothing since last
April /; that they have shut their eyes to the
disgraceful developments at Trenton and
their ears to the mutterings Of the people.
Yet they assume to say who are and who
are not Republicans.
The Republican senators have passed II
bills, including grand jury reform, civil ser
vice, repeal of the board of arbitration, pop
ular election of United States senators, etc.
Some of these were recommended bv the
governor, some are the buncombe bills in
troduced by Senator Hillery last spring,
some grew out Of the shameful disclosure by
the Democratic house Investigating commit
tee. The senators rushed all these bills
through at lightning speed. They had full
and abundant time to pass the majority OF
them last spring, but refused to do so.
Why in such eager haste to pass them
now 1t is because they see good in them
now which they did not see last spring Is
it because they appreciate the. governors
recommendations now more than then +? Is
it because they have heard the indignant
condemnations of the people and have ac-
quired wisdom Not at ALL This whole
hasty mass of legislation, be it good or bad,
is but partisan plan to sput it up to the
Democrats" 1t is but scheme in which
some popular demands hitherto ignored and
denied are now conceded for the sake Of
party advantage. It is an attempt to fool
the people
There is not the faintest shadow of true
motive in any of it, If there were, the pub
lie utilities bill drawn and introduced by
Senator Colby for example, would not have
been sidetracked for the plan proposed by
Senator HilIery.
Whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad. The Republican senators are
stricken with partisan folly. They are act
ing without intelligent counsel, they are
blind and are being led by blind leaders
They pirate of Republican principles and OF
the need Of united party to insure success
next fall, but they are acting without prin-
ciple and are making unity absolutely i'm

It is the plan of the Board Of Com
missioners of Public Archives to have
the great body of the archives printed
and bound in suitably sized volumes
for exchange with other similar insti-
buttons and in order to make the
archives available to all to whom they
would be of value. 1t is not expected
that the printing of all the archives
will be done at once, or even within
year or two. 1t is to be done as
funds are available and as the archives
are more thoroughly studied and the
index completed so that discrimination
in the order of publication can be ex-
ercised.
1t is desirable, however, before any
of the archives are printed that the
whole subject be thoroughly consid-
and a general style of publication can
be adopted now, that will be suitable
for the entire body of the archives
so that the publication, no matter how
long a time shall be consumed in do
ing it. shall be uniform in size, style
and binding. For. this reason COM
mittee was appointed at the meeting
of the board held yesterday afternoon
consisting of DR.. w. D. Alexander and
George r. Carter, to consider this sub
iect fully and adopt an appropriate
size and style. 1t was suggested to
the committee that the publication OF
the archives should begin with the
records of the Privy Council. These
contain an immense amount of his
torical matter, and are in many ways
the most valuable part of the ar
chives.
George r. Carter was appointed a
committee of one to consult with the
Kilohana Art League in regard to a
suitable monument or memorial tablet
to mark the spot in Lahaina where
the first constitution of Hawaii was
promulgated The idea of such me-
mortal originated with the Kilohana
Art League.
Other matters transacted by the
board at yesterdays meeting were OF
a routine character.

J. II. Marriott of Osceola, New,

way home from a visit to Oakland,
Cal, where Mrs Marriott is under
treatment for rheumatism. He re-
ports Mrs. Marriott as on the road to
recovery, though very slowly.
Speaking of conditions in different
camps and towns on his rip, he said
he believed this camp was ahead of
them all; that money conditions on
the coast were about the same as
here, and that this district had little
reason to kick.

merchants of this section. Regard

man Bartlett that he would introduce
a bill at the opening of congress hav-
ing for its purpose the relief of min

heartily hoped the bill would pass,

ENORMOUS
COAL THEFTS
Thousands Of Tons Stolen from

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-THE
theft of thousands of tons of coal ar
irving on steamers from Newcastle,
New South Wales, within the past
few months has resulted in new or
ders being issued by Collector of the
Port Stratton regulating discharging
cargo of this character.
Coal from Newcastle retails for 81 )
a ton in San Francisco, and thefts
ranging over a period of four months
are estimated by the customs officials
to aggregate more than 500, 900.
Who is stealing ihe coal is mat
ter over which there is a division of
opinion among the customs men, but
there is no doubt the looting has been
carried on Systematically and with
great profit to those engaged in it.
II. NJ. Newhall e Co, shipping and
commission merchants, were among
the first to file complaints with Col
lector of the Port Stratton as to theft
of coal from their ships. Most of the
coal shipped to the Newhalls from
Newcastle arrives here in British and
Norwegian bottoms, and from 160 to
200 tons have been missing on each
steamer when the final tally of the
cargo has been completed.
