MANY VISIT OLD PRISON SHIP

Many Wilmingtonians Monday board
eh the old convict ship, ''The Success, "
which is lying at Warmers wharf,
and those who did SO felt well repaid
for their visit.
The old ship, the last of the infamous
floating prisons or ocean heIls" under
British rule, with its grim instruments
of punishment for convicts and its tiers
of dungeon-like cells below decks fur
nishes striking example of what was
called justice meted out to prisoners in
the past centuries. An inspection is
enough to cause shivers creep up and
down ones spine, but it is instructive.
This is the last of the old floating
prisons. All the rest have been con-
demned and destroyed. That the Sue
cess escaped was due to technlcality.
Aside from its value as curiosity, the
ship contains wealth of historic ma
terial, including documents, and a visit
is well worth while from an educational
standpoint alone.
Competent guides are stationed about
the boat and everything is explained
comprehensively by them. Sketches Of
some of the most notorious prisoners
sentenced to terms aboard the floating
prison are given, other details are re-
cited, and all questions are courteously
answered.
The effect of the cell tiers is strik-
| ingly increased by wax figures of the
prisoners confined in them, garbed in
their uniforms bearing the broad arrow.
There are the leg irons and balls, the
instruments for fogging the prisoners
and other grim reminders of the days of
tortue and of the inquisition while the
ship with its prisoners was stationed in
Australia the latter part of 100 and
early in 1900.
Down in the gloomy lower deck are
the tiers where prisoners were placed in
solitary confinement and gazing at the
wax representations of the convicts the
| spectator can almost imagine he hears
their means and cries.

CANNING CORN

The following seasonable recipes Tor
the canning of corn have proven both
practical and economical for the house
wife. The recipes have been worked out
in the departments canning kitchen and
the products tested for nearly two years,
These recipes have been used in con-
nection with the five different types OF
canning devices and the corn has been
put UP in all types of containers, such
as glass top, screw top, suction top and
tin cans. The method employed is the
cold-pack method, the same as is now
being used in the best commercial fac
tories of the world, instead of requiring
the laborious and tedious method OF
fractional sterilization of an hour each
day for three consecutive days and the
lifting of the products in and out OF the
canning devices three times. The
methods now employed contemplates
but one sterilization and turns out the
product in better shape, with better
color, texture and flavor than the frac-
tionaI sterilization method. By follow
ing these recipes and method the family
can have corn, either on or off the cob,
throughout the year at a very reason
able expense of time, energy and
money.
RECIPES
Select sweet corn ears of uniform
size and proper ripeness. If too ripe
the corn will color while processing
Processing is the canning term for
sterilization or cooking.) If not ripe
enough much of the food value is lost
in cutting the corn from the cob. Use
either glass jars or tin cans. For mar
ket purposes and greater safety in
transportation use tin cans.
Remove husk, silk, shank, tips and
injured or defective places. Blanch
corn in boiling water or steam chest for
from 5 to 10 minutes. The time de-
pends upon the stage of ripeness, size
of ears and degree of freshness. Re-
move the husk and plunge the ears
quickly in cold water.
Cut the corn from the cob with a
sharp, thin-bladed knife. Pack well in
glass jar or tin can; add hot water and
a level teaspoon Of salt to the quart or
No. 8 can. Place rubber and glass
jar top in place, not tight. If
using tin, solder cap in place and fill
vent hoIe,''or seal completely. Process
the corn from 18O to 24O minutes in the
homemade or hot-water commercial
bath outfits; for l IL hours in the
water-seal outfits; for 60 minutes when
using from to 10 pounds of steam
pressure, with the steam-pressure can
ming devices, and 40 minutes when using
the aluminium steam-pressure cooker
outfit. After processing remove the
Jars, tighten covers, invert to test the
joints, and cool.
If using tin, inspect the soldered end
caps for pinhole leaks. Repair all leaks,
allow to stand for "a hours. If cans are
still bulging at ends at the end of this
time, one of two things is true-the
pack is too full or some live spores are
still left in the can. If the latter, re-
place in sterilizer and process the second
time from 80 minutes to l hour.

Very few people knew OF the me-

Coroner J., II. Harbin was summoned

The eye-witnesses to the shooting,

OF his brothers-in-law, testified that
the affair was entirely an accident
and that the little fellow did not
intend TO shoot the gun at all and
that there was no intention OF killing
