Queer English Laws.

NO statute law Of England ever can
peg obsolete" legal journal says.
Once enacted, 1t continues In binding
force until repealed"
III such be really the case, there
ought to be some lively times ahead
for several classes of the community
For instance, what will builders have
to say TO the act which penalties any
person who erects house without at
taching to II at least four acres of
landg This was one OF good Queen
Bess' laws, and 1t has most certainly
never been repealed.
by another unrepealed statute, which
dates back to the first year of King
James l., It is enacted that not more
than a penny may be charged for a
quart of the best old ale nor more than
a halfpenny for like quantity OF
small beer. The penalty for each in
fraction of the act is 20 shilllngs, so
that IL 1t We're rigidly enforced 1t
would not need, apparently, a licensing
bill to ruin the brewers. Then, again,
a Catholic owning horse Is still legal
ly obliged to sell 1t for f5 to anybody
who chooses to offer that sum for it.

American Cruiser Arrives.

Port au Prince, Dec. 1.-The Ameri.
can cruiser Des Moines came into port.
Her presence augments the force of
foreign sailors and marines that We're
landed for the protection of Port au
Prince. and particularly foreigners, in
case OF an engagement between rebels
and troops of the government, which
is apparently bound to occur in a very
short space of time, the results OF
turning loose on the city disorganized
and undisciplined soldiers. The ar
rival OF the Des Moines was preceded
by that Of the French cruiser Duguas
Tourin and the American cruiser Ia.
coma. The British cruiser Scylla and
Italian cruiser Pieramosca are ex'
pected shortly. With their advent the
foreign elements feel much more Sc
cure.
II is reported that General Simon,
leader Of the revolutionary movement,
Is at Petit Goative. about thirty miles
to the west OF Port au Prince. He has
an army Of 5000 men, well armed with
good rifles and well provisioned. He
has also seevral pieces of mountain
artillery and some machine guns. He
is expected to reach Port au Prince
Thursday or Friday.

cook,co WITH sunlight.

Sun cooking roasting and boiling o.
sunlight instead of coal or gas--has
been going on for 800 years. There
are sun stoves that roast sirloin or
boil soup to perfection. They are
only used, however, by scientists. A
sun stove consists mainly of n mirror
a spherical mirror on joint There
Is also reflector The place for pot
or plate is SO situated that the mirrors
rays can be focused ON 1t accurately.
A German. Baron Tchernhausen, was
the first sun cook. He began In 1857
TO boil water, and In 16SS he had very
good success at baking eggs. Sir John
Herschel and Button are other III
nous names associated with Sun cook.
ing. In California various ,Jsun cooks
have boiled gallon of wafer In TWEEN,
ty minutes. roasted meat I'm two hours
and poached eggs in fifteen minutes
quite as good time as The ordinary fire
makes. An odd thing about meat
roasted by sun rays is that 1t has an
unpleasant taste. This is avoided by
the insertion OK a plate of yellow glass
between meat and mirror. In all solar
stoves the Sheet of yellow glass fig

The First Mourning Paper.

The oldest known letter written ON
black edged note paper as a sign of
mourning appears to be one dated Jan.
3. 1853. In Addison's comedy OF "The
Drummer" 1715, reference is made to
the fashion in the words. my lady's
mourning paper that is BACKED at the
edges" A few years later Allan Ram,
say, who died In 1853, speaks In one
of his poems Of "the sable bordered
sheet" as messenger Of SORROW
Mann, writing from Italy to Horace
walpole In 1T45, says that 1t was uni
versally used In Florence at that time
The superior elegance of this Italian
note paper. with Its narrow margin Of
black. explains Its ready acceptance In
this country. where 1t superseded the
quarto sheet with black border some
times quarter Of an inch wide. In
this way It probably gave an impetus
to the fashion. But II Is a mistake to
suppose, as some have done, that the
fashion was introduced from Italy,

PURDUE TOO HEAVY
TrounCes DePauW Football
Team by a Score of
20 to q.
ROCKFORD WAS THE STAR.

Lafayette, Ind, Oct. 31.-DePauw
was defeated by the Purdue eleven
here today, the final score being % to
4. The game was stubbornly fought
and several times the Greencastle
boys tore through the Purdue lineup
and made large gains. Purdue did not
use any new plays and the forward
pass was used but seldom, but won
on straight foot ball. Purdue was too
heavy for the Methodsts and the game
was never in danger for the boiler
makers. Rockford played great
game for Purdue making four out of
the five touchdowns. Dennis Grady,
the DePauw quarter back, was the
star of his team near the end of the
first half. He kicked a goal from the
SO yard line. His tackling at times
was also sensational. Captain Jackson
of DePauw, Rockford of Purdue were
ruled in the second half for smuggling.
The summary follows:

The quarterback acting captain in the
absence Of Van Hook, repeatedly made

Illinois rapidly advanced the ball into
Indiana territory by a series OF line
plunges, until the ball was lost on a
tumble. Cartwright of Indiana, kick

line. Brewer bucked off left tackle
for touchdown. Railsback kicked

The Illinois line, despite the absence
of Captain Van Hook, were impreg-

ELECTED TUESDAY,.

New York, Oct 31.-Secretary OF
State Elihu Root was the principal
speaker at a mass-meeting tonight at
Durland's Riding Academy. held un.
der the auspices of the West Side Re
publican club. Root was louded and
cheered when he arose to speak. He
said in part: Il am led to believe
Bryan's election to the presidency
would be followed by a general and
long business disaster. Thet recovery
now in progress from the panic Of last
year would stop; that production would
be curtailed: many workmen thrown
out Of employment; wages lowered;
market for farm products and manu-
facturers reduced, and the income up
on investments OF private individuals
savings banks and insurance compan-
les of charitable and educational in
situations in great measure cut of,
and that long period OF stagnation and
distress would insure such as we ex.
perienced between 1893 and the elec-
ton Of Mckinley in 1896"
