BACON EXPLAINS WHAT
WILSON DID NOT MEAN
Denies That President Intended 1t to
Be Order for Americans to Leave
Mexico at Once.
UNITED PRESS LEASED wrRE.1

Washington, Sept. 1.-The Mexican
situation was practically tunchanged
today. Senator Bacon, chairman, of
the senate foreign relations committee,
conferred with Secretary of State Bry-
an, Later Senator Bacon issued the
following statement:
"The president did not intend that
his statement on the Mexican situation
should be construed as as an order for
American citizens to leave Mexico.
Neither should it be construed as a
preliminary warnig of armed inven-
tion. 1t simply meant that fighting
between the two factions is likely to
become more serious than ever, and he
suggested that it would be better for
them to leave the country
"The president did not mean that
this country will not continue to pro-
tect American citizens in Mexico, or
should befall them"

camp, with tepees, pots, kettles and all
the accoutrements of an Indian habita-
tion on the plains.
Fifty Indians, under the leadership
of Chief Joe White Eagle, were i'm
ported from one of the western reser-
vations to take part in the HippOdrome
show, "America," with which the
amusement place opened its season.
When the aborigines arrived in New
York it was very hot and they de-
clared they could never stand the con.
finement of hotel, no matter what
the cost of the rooms or suites given
them. They demanded that they be al
lowed to sleep out of doors, and the
management arranged the camp on the
roof.

CONFECTIONERY.
Centuries Ago Il Was a Part Of tho
Art of the Apotheeary.

Centuries AGO Il Was Part OF tho
Art Of the Apotheeary.
Curiously enough, the making Of con
fectionery originated in way with the
apothecarles about 500 years ago. 1t
was then that sugar was first imported
into England, and 1t was then that
CONNECTIONS" first became known. For
time they appeared only in medical
form. the apothecaries using the newly
imported sugar as means Of midgat-
Ing the bitterness OF their doses. In
other words, they mixed their drugs
with II. and therein lay the origin Of
many Of the sirups and medicated can
dies. the ancestors Of our cough drops
and lozenges. The cost Of sugar was
far too high. and most people were far
too poor to permit Of its being eaten
for its own sake alone and as mere
luxury.
1t was only a couple of centuries ago
that there began to appear new
phase Of the apothecary's art Con-
fections began to be made more or less
apart from any medicinal purpose and
because people liked them, and eventu-
ally the confectioner's business became
quite separate and distinct from that
of the apothecary.
Although the confectioner's trade
may be said to be about 200 years old,
1t was only within recent times that 1t
became real and extensive industry.
At first sugar was heavily taxed, and
the confectiOners trade was pursued
upon very elementary principles. For
long time everything was done by
hand. Implements were Of the very
simplest-candy kettles heated on small
brick furnaces, pestles and mortars,
rolling pins and scissors. etc. The out
put was very small and, comparative
ly speaking, sweetmeats of all sorts
were expensive and frequently unat-
tractive.
All this has been changed, and now
adays the most improved machinery
and implements combine to produce
the most delicate and attractive sweets
Muscles have been superseded by en-.
gines, pestles and mOrtars and rolling
pins, and scissors have given place to
revolving pans and steam pans, and
mechanism for beating and kneadlng
and mixing, for cutting and slicing and
grinding, for rolling and grating and
stamping, for crushing ice and freezing
cream and other processes.
While many Of the best and most
expensive candles are still very largely
made by hand processes, by far the
greater mass Of sweetmeats is produc
ed by machinery. -Harper's Weekly.
