heat and the foodstuffs are always
baked evenly. The new tea kettles
are handy and easily keep supply of
hot water on hand, as, after the water
is heated, it takes but little cur
rent to keep it hot.
The electric sterillzer and bandage
heaters are the latest acquisitions to
the sick room and are of fully as
much service as the electric heating
pad and milk warn er.
The luminous electric radiator is
the most perfect source of heat known.
At the snap OF the switch the radiator
gives a flood of heat and cheerful
glow without gases, odors and fire
dangers. The heat radiates through
the air warming the room many times
quicker than other heaters or stoves
of the non luminous sort which de-
pend upon setting up warm currents
Of air.
Evidence that electricity as a source
of heat is taking very important
place in this impatient world is that
the Eagel hotel, in Grand Rapids.
Mich, has been equipped with
luminous electric radiators. 1t is
the hrst hotel in the world to be heat
ed with electricity. Nearly five hun
dred homes in the same city are using
electric cooking devices and other
electric heating apparatus. In near
ly every city or village boasting of
an electric light plant the electric
heating and cooking devices are be-
ing utilized. The Hillman house in
Schenectady, N. Y, and the home Of
J. E. Davidson, in Montpelier, VT,
and M. George Knapp, of Troyes,
France-the Sinsabugh house at
Carrolton, ILL.,, are entirely equipped
with electricity, and the results have
been even more satisfactory and
economical than when under the old
system. A number of the large
restaurants in this country and abroad
have installed electric kitchens. The
bachelor girl, and the plain, old
fashioned masculine bachelor, have
adopted the cooking devices and now
they cook their own breakfasts and
luncheouns in the time it formerly
took them to walk to the restaurant.
The tailors and laundries use the
electric irons; the doctors use the
electric heating devices. Soldering
irons, branding irons. glue pots, and
a thousand other things are heated by
electricity.
AS electricity dominates the world
of light and power to-day, tomorrow
it will be the principal factor in the
world of heat. Southwestern Electri-

Ethan Allen Hitchcock, who was
secretary of the interior in the Nc
KinIeY and Roosevelt administrations,
died az Washington last Friday at the
age of "a years. He was successful
merchant fortv years ago and piled
up a splendid fortune. In 1897 he
vas appointed minister to Russia,
which place he resigned to enter Nc
Kinley's cabinet His conduct of the
affairs of the interior department will
always be bright page in the history
of that and the succeeding administra-
ton, as it was through his efforts that
the great timber land steals of the
Pacific past were unearthed and ex-
posed. In the face of the most bitter
persecution and threats he persisted
in the prosecution of these men, two
of them United States senators and
others occupying high positions in
public life with most powerful in
terests and wealth behind them, but
he had the nerve to go forward and
drive the thieves out, recovering vast
tracts to the government. Mr.. Hitch
coock was born in Mobile. Alabama,
and was a great grandson of Ethan
Allen, the leader of 1.-THE Green
Mountain Boys of revolutionary
days.

A Farewell Party.

Without invitation the ladies of
the Priscilla Club had a covered
dish party at the home of Mrs. Will
Miller, Tuesday April 9Th. Refresh
ments were varied and abundant and
II went merry. until, in behalf of
the club and with expressions of ap-
probation and regret. Mrs. JUhn
Stone rendered Mrs. Miller sterling
spoon as an earnest of the kindly feel
ing and esteem we shall ever have to-
ward her. But it was only an April
shower, soon the clouds had all dis
persed and we were enjoying some
good piano selections by her son
Erskine while with eating, drinking,
sewing and music; there was note of
sadness there was also much of real
pleasure connected with our last meet
ing in this home. However we will
look forward with gladness to the
time when they will say, there is no
place like Wisconsin and wander
back again, to where the old home
stands. - While we have tried to i'm
press on their minds the thought that
there are no friends like the old
friends" we are very sure in their
new associations they will make many
worthy friends who will prove just as
true to them, and we trust ap-
preciate their true worth and
character

TARIFF BILL PASSES THE HOUSE.

The tariff bill passed the town
house of Congress and now goes to
the senate, where the fight that has
been made by special interests for the
retention OF the duty on hides, lumber
and petroleum will be renewed. The
sentiment in the house was very
strongly in favor of placing both
hides and lumber on the free list, and
the bill as passed so provides, and in
addition leaves both coffee and tea
free.
ALI members of the Wisconsin
delegation voted to put oil on the free
list and all except Kopp and Lenroot
voted for free hides. The delegation,
except Weisse, all voted for an in
creased duty on barley from is to "a
cents bushel and on barley meal
from 20 TO 40 cents bushel. All of
them but Weisse also voted to put
lumber on the free list.
The report of the senate committee,
as reported in yesterdays dispatches,
however, indicates that the senate
schedule makes three times as many
cuts as increases in duties and the
great mass of tre rates reported are
below those of the existing Dingley
law. On the whole it is claimed the
proposed senate amendments will
prove more satisfactory to the people
of Wisconsin than the house bill.

One of two sisters who lived togeth-

tack she feared was serious, says the
London Telegraph. She therefore sent
for a specialist and asked her doctor
to meet him. Talking over his coming
with her sister, she said: Mona, I
wish I could know Sir Henry BIS real
opinion. Neither he nor DR.. NJ. will
tell us if there is anything really
wrong, but l would much rather
know"
Her sister replied: ''Do not worry,
dearest. You shall know everything,
for l will go down to the dining room
and stand behind the big oak screen
and listen to every word they say"
"And will you be sure to tell me,
Mona?'
'You may rely on me, dearest. 1 will
tell you every word
Gwen if I am not to get well?'
Gwen then, dearest. promised the
loyal Mona.
The hour for the consultation arriv-

room and, standing behind the great
oak screen, ensconced herself and pre-
pared to listen.
By and by the two doctors were
heard descending the stairs, and mo-

in a nation: When the sword is rusty,
the pillow bright, the prisons empty, the

worn down and those of the law courts
grass grown, when doctors go afoot,
the bakers on horseback and the men
Of letters drive in their own carriages
then the empire is well governed.
