Alcohol School Opened by Government

lnasmuch as such a plant could not
be erected for less than $500 it is
obvious that the ordinary farmer
would not be able to- afford to- con-
struct one of the kind. But-and here
is the point-a group of farmers rep
resenting small neighborhood might
do so.
Then they would bring their corn
stalks and other such refuse to the
"milr' and receive in return the al
cohol. 1t is a simple method which
farmers have long been accustomed to
adopt where -four and other neces-
saries were concerned.
The farmers are eager to find a
cheap. source of energy. Nowadays
multitudes of them use gasolene for
such purposes as grinding feed, cut.
ting fodder and running the corn shell.
ler. circular saw, horse clipper and
grindstone
A farm in these times is more or
less of factory. But gasolene is ex-
pensive. Alcohol is comparatively
cheap, and when manufactured from
the farmers own vegetable refuse it
would cost next to nothing
In France there are $1,000 farmer
distillers who make alcohol for in
dustrial purposes from molasses and
sugar beets. TT is high time that this
idea was turned to profitable account
in the United States. Rotten apples,
frost-birten potatoes, stale water
melons, cornstalks and cobs and
every other kind of vegetable refuse
are available for the purpose.

Quickly Made Luncheon.

To make a delicious luncheon dish
on short notice mix a baking powder
biscuit dough, using little more short
ening than usual and cut medium
thick with a cooky cutter. In the
center of each place about a spoon
full of pork sausage and a thin slice
of bacon, both raw. Fold the bis
cult like a Parker house roll, and
bake in a moderate oven about 25
minutes. Serve with thickened
cream gravy. These can be warmed
over for breakfast.

THE director of the mint has made

more ways than one. He is rejoicing
because the government made a profit
during the fiscal year ended June 30,
1908, of $10,541,371 on the coinage of
silver, nickel and one-cent bronze
pieces.
This represents the difference be-

Washington's second swearing in
at Philadelphia in 1893 was the first
March 4 inaugural.
Adams was inaugurated in the
House of Representatives, Philadel-
phia. Jefferson's was the first at
Washington. Monroe established the
precedent for taking the oath or the
east pOrtico of the Capitol, although
he was sworn the second time in the
House on account of the intense cold.
J.. @. Adams, his successor, also took
the oath indoors. Jackson re-estab-
lished the custom which has prevailed
since. Jackson was the first Presi-
dent to attract a large pilgrimage of
admirers to attend the inaugural cere-
monies.
German sharpshooters were dis
tributed upon the roofs of the houses
lining the route of Lincoln's first in

Capitol in separate carriages abreast,
but this angered Johnson. He abb
Sented himself from the entire cere-

side numbering 10000. The hold

Berlin, Germany.-The newest de-
generacy, displayed in u~nprovoked
and cruel attacks upon Virtuous and
u~nofensive women, continues to man
ifest itself here.
Over twenty-five such outrages
have been committed. There seems
to be more than one decadent, such
as Jack" this and "Jack" that, who
committed wanton and ~inexplicable
assaults against women in other CAPT
tails. without taking booty; without
seeking, apparently, anything but the
qualification of a semi-maniacal i'm
pulse.
Five attacks made upon women in
the eastern suburbs brought the days
total up to seven and the aggregate
TO twenty-five since the beginning OF
these vicious assaults.
One woman was seriously wound
ed. The others injuries were slight.
1t seems enough for their assailants
to aus them to suffer pain.
Many persons, most of them wom-
en-, declare they have seen the mys-
terious assailant, but, as he turned to
the injured woman, he escaped. The
description of these witnesses agree

ty Of all the attacks. But many wit
nesses swear that three men simulta-
neously attacked one girl, a servant,
IN the street. One with a sharp
knife stabbed her in the abdomen,
then the three ran away without even
attempting to take the bundles or the
purse the girl carried.
The police have doubled the pa
troll in the streets. and are watching
particularly women of whatever char
acter VINO walk out, unaccompanted,
day or night.
A merchants wife, a staid woman
of irreproachable character, was
walking in a street in the southern
part of the city. She had not the
slightest warning from her assailant,
who approached her from behind,
faced her and struck at her with a
knife. The hand she raised in de-
Tense was wounded and then the man
stabbed her in the thigh and fed.
Five women of the working class
were wounded in the city and in the
suburbs. two were seriously hurt.
The first attack occurred in the Mo-
abite quarter at 9 o'clock in the
morning in the open street. The as
'sailant stabbed his victim in the up
per arm. Another m was
wounded in the thigh during the fore
noon in the northern section of the
city. A girl was attacked at 8 p. m.
In the eastern section. She warded
of the blow with her hand, which
was wounded. tf

his victim to Inconsistencies. She
was found half an hour later and TAX

Later in the evening the wife of
another butcher was wounded in the

the city.
In each instance the assailant, who
seems to wear silent shoes, ap-
proacheE his victim without arousing
suspicion, delivers his attack sudden
ly and then fees.
The people of the 1aboring quar-
tiers of the city are much excited over
the frequent assaults. The streets
are deserted at night by the females
who frequent them usually. The DO
lice, whose watchfulness is high
keyed, are nonplussed.
Many more arrests have been
made, but all the prisoners were able
to prove their innocence. Some,
however, first suffered from the fury
of the imaginative crowds. A drum
ken man who opened his pocket knife
and fourished it was nearly killed.
Some cases have occurred of wom-
en- who have cut their own clothing
and pricked themselves for the pur-
pose Of becoming objects Of public
interest and sympathy. Whether the
list of twenty-six victims includes any
of these is not clear.
The idea originally held that some
maniacal Jack the Ripper was the au-
thor of the attacks has been abaE
doned. It is believed that the impu-
nifty of the perpetrator of the earlier
outrages has encouraged sundry
toughs to initiate him. This theory
if possible. increases the alarm, which
in some districts has become a panic.
The police. whose very consider
able efforts have hitherto failed to
stop the crimes, have enlisted the aid
of the House Owners Association.
This has been willingly given. and in
addition to the concierges of apart
ment houses, who have been in
structed to keep a close watch for at
tacks on women, special watchmeH
have been employed to guard the
houses and patrol TIE streets.
The police have also asked trolley
men, fremen, letter carriers and 9TH
ers whose work lies in the streets. to
act as special constables. Further
more, they have issued an appeal to
women of all classes to keep their
presence of mind in the event of an
attack being made on them. and to
try to insure the capture of the Grim
inaE. The general public are urged,
if they witness an assault, to devote
their endeavors to catching the as
sailant rather than to hanging around
the victim.
