THE TRUTH ABOUT THE MAINE.
New York Sun.l

The work of raising the Maine is still uncompleted, and already it has cost more than the estimate, which seemed to be a liberal one. It may be doubted, indeed, whether there is enough of the hull left intact for the army engineers to raise and tow out to sea. It is all conjecture. according to General William H. Bixby, the Chief of Engineers. so much worse than had been anticipated were the effects of the explosion. The supreme question of the cause of the disaster remains. In October last the Presi- dent in approving the cofferdam plan intimated that economy must not be considered in learning the truth. 4 year ago when Congress at last decid- ed to have the work done no voice was raised in dissent in the House when MT. Culzer of New York declar- ed that he did not want the wreck of the Maine blown up or destroyed un- til the truth is known as to her de- struction.' Nobody else does,'' said MT Mann of Illinois, speaking for the Republican side.
 MT. Taft put the supreme question before Congress on Monday, when he asked for an additional appropriation of $250 900. ''As long" he said, "as there remains uneXcaVated any por tion of the mud and debris within the wreck or its neighborhood from which evidences may be had of the origin al cause of the disaster we shall be derelict in our duty in not prosecuting a further research"
 The President wants ''the world' to know the original cause of the explo- sion. No charitable view would be taken of failure to demonstrate it absolutely. Hence the necessity of ex- posing to view every fragment of the shattered hull that would throw light fhn 11-t that the evidence collected will be sufficient after all to prove whether the primary explosion was external or internal has been ascribed to Gen eral BiXby but without warrant, we are inclined to think.

BEATTIE TAKES CHARGE OF HIS
 DEFENSE TODAY
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page) as if someone had stepped into the bushes and out again."
 Snyder declared that, in the version of the killing given him by Beattie, the accused told him that the beard ed man" stood on the right side of the auto and fired the fatal shot over Beattie's back as he leaned forward over the levers of the car. This con- flicts absolutely with the story told by Beattie at the inquest, where he said the man fired from point five feet on the left of the machine.
 T asked him how it was that his wife could be wounded in the left side of the face if she was shot in the right side" said Snyder. He walked away without answering"
 Beattie looked grave as Snyd ar lengthy whispered conference with his lawyers before the cross examina ton. When Hill Carter finally start ed, he attacked the story of the foot prints beside the road with vigor.
 Through a maze of cross questions and dangling suggestions, Snyder kept close to his story. Beattie leaned for ward over his desk, fixed an anxious look on the witness and listened eagerly as Carter pounded at Snyder. The lawyer also attacked in vain the conflicting version of Beatties story of the killing.
 At last the defense gave up the at- tempt to break down Snyder's testi mony, and Mandy Alexander, a South ern Nanny, was called
 Mandy was resplendent in a new dress, new gingham apron, and big straw hat. When Wendenburg produced the gun and asked her if it was the one she had found, she shout ed:
 "Yassah, yassah, dat's the gun.''
 Mandy said the gun was lying along the Belt Line tracks some distance from the road
 You left the gun where you found it?' asked Smith. on cross-examina- tion
 "Ah suah did," said Mandy. ''Ah didnr want to have no trouble wifi it."
 Jerry Reynolds, the negro who found the gun and picked it up after Mandy had seen 1t, then testified. In an ar gument as to the distance the gun was from the road, Mandy was re- called. Her testimony closed the first session of the day.

it shows us that skim milk with nu-
tritiye ratio comparable with that of
porterhouse steak, when sold at 2h
cents a quart, or IA cents per pound,
does not cost one;ffth as much per
pound of actual food as does porter
house, aud that eggs at SO cents a doz
EN-, because Of the waste OF shell and
the very high water content Of the con-
tents of the shell, costs us a little more
than 81 per pound of digestible dry
matter, as against IA cents in the case
OF skim milk Even hamburg steak,
that most humble OF all meats bearing
the name steak. when sold at the usual
price, 20 cents per pound even costs 90
cents per pound of actual food, or more
than four times that of skim milk even
at 2H2 cents per quart.
Comparing the second group of whole
milk against smoked ham, we find that
whole milk at Z cents quart costs us
only % cents per pound digestible dry
matter, whereas ham, because of the
bone, skin and water, costs US 65 cents
per pound and that certified milk, even
at the lawful" price Of Is cents quart,
costs us only 60 cents a pound, or, in
other words, certiiCC, milk at Is cents a
quart is cheaper food even for the adult
than smoked ham at 25 cents a pound,
and as cheap as hamburg.
As d matter of fact, the selling price
of milk should be increased about
cents quart, and 31s cents of this raise
given to the producer in order that q
cleaner milk may be made possible, and
still have market value in proportion
to the increased cost of COW feeds, la
Dor, building material and land values,
which have advanced from 80 to 100
per cent since 1895. Truly good milk
at y cents per quart is cheap food
while dirty milk is dear at half the
price.
Milk as food for infants and young
children is almost indispensable, and in
reasonable quantities is an economical
food for adults. Consumers are de-
handing something they are not yet
willing to pay for, and producers are
commanded TO do something which they
cannot do and stay in the business.
Now some figure represents the aver
age bedrock cost of producing a quart
of milk. 1t will be less with the more
skilled dairyman and more with the less
skilled. All dairymen cannot be equal
to the best any more than every wool
en- mill worker can be Wood, or every
tank driver Rockefeller So we must
accept man as he exists and base other
matters accordingly. It would seem
that somewhere from to 6 cents per
quart is the average cost of such pro-
duetion. The increased cost of cows,
feed, labor and building material makes
it highly improbable that the great aver
age cost of production viii come down.
Should the price be increased2 Is milk

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
"Grace Georges New Play, Sauce for
for the Goose" Next Monday.

Grace Georges new play, Sauce for
the Goose" is said to be meeting with
unanimous approval of the theatre-go-
ing public wherever it appears, as a
bright, cheerful and thoroughly anus
ing entertainment. One remembers well
how great a success Miss George made
as Cyprienne in "DYorcons," a play of
high literary quality, great brilliancy
and expert Workmanship, and also in
the bright and amusing "A Woman's
Way and the new comedy seems to be
a conscious effort to provide the same
opportunities that the two former plays
offered, opportunities that are realized
brilliantly by Miss George, who in a few
seasons has arisen to the foremost place
among the condolences of the English
speaking stage. The main point about
the new comedy, Sauce for the Goose,
is that the new sauce is concocted ac-
eording to an excellent recipe, is eX-
tremely delectable and is grateful to
the digestion.
Miss Bonner's comedy reminds one of
the fact that woman finds it much cas-
Ter to understand and to manage man
than the latter does the opposite sex.
John Constable, q literary genius, but
without sense of humor that comprises
his wife's greatest asset, seeks the intel
lectual stimulus of designing widow,
Mrs. Alloway, womrn OF gray mat
ter" and neglects his own wife, whom
be thinks his inferior, mentally.
His wife, so neglected resolves to ac-
cept the principles of emancipation, of
which Mrs. Alloway so smoothly pratt
ties, and seeks consolation in the COM
pany of bachelor friend, Harry Tray
ers. How she awakens the jealousy of
her husband, who really loves her deep
ly, and makes him realize her own worth,
makes an interesting and exceedingly
humorous story.
Miss Bonner has handled her theme
nimbly, brightly and with exceptional
cleyerness in dialogue The situations
are amazing, sometimes highly ridicu-
lous, aud the fun is kept up without
strain until the final line is spoken and
the latter, by the way, is a good one.
Miss George as Kitty Constable" the
wife, again shows her exceptional charm,
her great talent as coincidence, and
her experiences in making her points in
quiet and perfectly natural manner.
Sauce for the Goose will be seen at
the opera house next Monday April "a.
Tickets Friday at Hendricks.

A Lion AIMED

citation, 1871.
By R. W. KEENAN,

good many years ago, when the
Union Pacific railroad was being built,
one going across the continent was
obliged to travel by stage good part
Of the way. One day a coach loaded
with passengers was going up and
down the uneven country formed by
the Rocky mountains. The drivers Of
those coaches were usually excellent
men and very expert in driving six
horses over the zigzag roads. Indeed,
they were like the engineer of rail-
way train who holds the lives OF those
behind him in his hand. But in this
case If the driver was expert he was
not careful of the lives of his passen-
gers. Rather, he was just the reverse.
In going down grade he would go
lickity-split, turning curves over preci-
pices, slurring the coach TO the very
edge to the horror Of those for whom
he was driving.
The women, at first, when passing
through one Of these dangers. would
hold Oh to what was nearest TO them
for dear life, but would finally cry out
with terror Some of the men exposru-
lated with the driver. but were told so
fiercely to shut up that none of them
dared to enter further protest Be
sides, they saw that what they said
only melted him TO new violence.
Beside the driver sat young man
In a cheeEerboard suit. He did not
join the others in endeavoring to stop
the mans recklessness. though he was
nearest TO him. He kept his arms
folded. balancing himself as the stage
careened like ship both sideways
and fore and aft. He was not over
five feet six inches high and not espe-
clally thick in proportion to his height.
The driver being six feet tall and
heavy In proportion, it was not to be
wondered that the little man held his
peace.
The coach had made one of Its break
neck descents and had reached level
travelling, with gradual ascent ahead,
when the man in a checkerboard suit
said to the driver In low tone:
'Been drinking?"
"Naw. Haven't taken a drink in a
year"
Reckon you're right l could smell
It If you had. Well. SEEM you're not
drunk. what you tryin' to spill Us
for?"
