The hay-stove is very simple af-

has beaten Rockefeller.

one foot high, and one foot wide, put

closing the cover is immaterial, but
it should be close fitting. Fill the
box with hay, making nest or nests

Make a cushion or pillow of hay of
the size of the box to be laid on top
after the vessel is nestled closely with
hay, then close the cover and do not

One way of using meat, especially
beef, that is left over is to stew the
meat in just enough water to cover it
until it is ready to fall to pieces, then
pull it into small bits with a fork.
Then make thick dressing as fol-
lows: Beat up one egg with table
spoonful of sugar, add one teaspoon
full of butter. one of mustard, little
pepper and salt and lastly one-half
cupful of vinegar. Put all in a dish
and cook like soft custard
Now take the meat, little Of the
stock in which it was boiled, and this
dressing, and stew slowly for about
fifteen minutes. Before serving add
one or two hard boiled eggs, chopped
fine, and you will have dish which
closely resembles terrapin. = A. B.,

FIGHT MAY SEND BEEF UP.
Packers and Commission Men Wran.
gle Over Inspection Losses.

Chicago. -The fight over the ques-
ton whether the packers or the COM
mission firms shall bear the expense
of cattle condemned by the Govern
ment's post-mortem examiners threat
ems to send the price of beef sky high.
Unless the Beef Trust recedes from
its determination to delay payment
on cattle until after that examination
has been made by the Government in
spectors there seems to be no doubt
that the commission firms, backed by
the cattlemen, Will hold out for a
long time and cause scarcity of beef.
The packers informed the commits
sion firms that they would not bear
the expense of condemned "cow
stuff" and that they would not settle
for cattle until after the inspection.
The commission men in turn have
sent thousands of letters and tele-
grams to their customers directing
them not to ship any cattle to the big
markets controlled by the trust until
the fight is settled. Those letters, it
is expected, will cut down the supply
of beef tremendously.
The commission men say the pack
ers are trying to enforce the rule
with regard to ''cow STUFF with the
aim of extending it to sheep and hogs.
Cow stuff' is minor item in pack
ing house business, and for that rea-
son, the commission men say it has
been selected as the basis for the first
fight. Less than two per cent. of this
class of purchases is condemned as
unfit by the inspectors.
The loss on it alone would not
mean much to the commission men
and the producers, but if the packers
were allowed to make this rule in re-
gard to cattle, they will extend it to
other forms of live stock, the COM
mission men say The result would
be that it would drive the commission
men out of business and make cattle
raising extremely Improbable. The
commission men have sent an appeal
to the Secretary of Agriculture.

couple of hours the next morning and
your beans will be fine for lunch.
Corned beef is much improved by be-
ing cooked in tie hay-stove in a SIM
liar manner.
Do you want oatmeal for break
fast? Then, while doing your dishes
in the evening put into a vessel oat-
meal and water in the proportion of
one cup of oatmeal to two and one
half cups of water, let it boil five
minutes, place in the hay-stove nest
and in tie morning you will not sim
ply eat but enjoy your oatmeal.
Should the quantity used be very
small, it may be necessary to reheat
it just trifie before serving, but do
not put in more water.
We have used the hay-stove in our
family for two years and have found
it great convenience. 1t is used
this year in dozens of homes by the
best housekeepers in our city and in
variably gives entire satisfaction

BIG LOTTERY SURRENDERS
TO THE GOVERNMENT
To Escape Jail Officers Agree to
Pay 100000 in Fines.
WEALTHY MEN PLEAD GUILTY
Federal Authorities Accept the Plea
Gambling Game of Millions to
Be Ended Without Trial or I'M
prisonment.


Wilmington, Del.-The sudden
dismissal of the Federal Grand Jury,
assembled especially to probe into the
affairs of the Honduras National Lot
terry Company, and the notice to hun
dreds of witnesses, under subpoena,
that their attendance will not be re-
CURED, corroborates the news from
New Orleans that the gigantic gam
bling enterprise has surrendered.
Among those who have been ac-
cused of having an interest in the
Honduras Lottery are Alfred Hennen
Morris, David Hennen Morris, of New
York; Oscar Hanger, of Hoboken,
and Frank T. Howard, of New Or
leans, receiver of the New Orleans
water works.
The principals in the game will
plead guilty and will pay a fine ag-
gregating about $500, 900, which will
be the penalty in lieu of imprison-
ment
Scores of prominent men in Louis
lana will contribute to this fund
rather than go to jail, and the United
States Government has elected to
accept these pleas of guilty, appar-
emily, rather than go to trial and
bring the big men in the game into
the limelight.
The surrender of the lottery men
is complete and unconditional. The
statement is made on trustworthy
authority that absolute assurance has
been given to the authorities at
Washington that the lottery has been
abandoned and it's property sold or
destroyed, and that there will be no
resumption of the sale of tickets in
any part of the United States at any
future time
The company has not been in
active operation since January Tick
cts are said to have been printed for
the February drawings, but they were
all recalled early in that month, and
the agents were informed that they
would never be issued again The
company is said to have offered it's
fine building in Puerto Cortez, Hon
duras, where the drawings were held,
at public auction, having closed down
and dismantled it.
1t is also said that all the property
that the Honduras Lottery people
own in this country is being sold, to-
gether with all their machinery,
equipment of every kind. and in fact
everything in connection with the
enterprise.
District Attorney Nields also said:
"The Government is proceeding as
rapidly as possible to destroy the
Honduran National Lottery Company,
to punish it's officers and agents and
to confiscate and destroy all it's prop
erty."
John M. Rogers, whose large print.
ing plant at Sixth and Orange streets,
in this city, was raided year ago.
but who was never brought to trial
on that specific charge of printing
lottery tickets, is one of the most
prominent men of Wilmington. He
is public spirited, and, being wealthy,
has given freely to numerous philan-
thropic movements.

The Best Things in Life.

About the best thing there is in

a man will behave himself and sleep
well he need not worry about tho

One of the most peculiar was recent

conveniently makes combination of
safe and desk. The safe is of the
common iron variety, the door being
pivoted in the centre, so that it can
be swung from a horizontal to a YER
tical position. When the door is
swung in the vertical position it
closes both the upper and lower COM

zontal position the door extends in

Where space is at premium this
extra desk would certainly prove of
advantage and be equally as useful
as a separate desk.
