After the brine has cooled jmu it over the meat I have tried the recipe myself many times, and the meat always comes out lu perfect con dition, anil does not need freshening to Ik- conked. Several years ago I bought a 20-gallou stone jar to pack neat in, and found It much more to my liking than a barrel. It cost me $2.50. which, of course, is more than a barrel would cost, but as it never leaks nor becomes Impure, and with care will last for generations. It Is cheaper that) a barrel. Kx.

It is coming to lie recognized that the uinmcr camping out, attended as It of ten Is by fatigue and Inconveniences of all kinds, add materially to the year's stock of vitality in those who indulge In IL It is not that there Is any Improvement In the food or the manner of cooking It, lu the means of exercise or rest, but owing to the life In the open air. The sunshine Is a great Invlgorator and the air is a rare tonic, even when It Is not perfectly balmy. So lot us get all we can of it this summer. It I obtainable free about our own homes. To get It easily, let there tic seats plae d on the piazza and on the lawn. Let hammocks tie strung conveniently, and at every opportunity let the work or I look be taken out and enjoyed In the open air, and mark the result at the end of one season. Womankind. Rtrawtirriy Wh'pp-1 Cream. Rub two pounds and a half of straw berries through a sieve, and add- half a pound of powdered sugar and one quart of whipped cream. Place a Iflyer of macaroons or any small sweet bis cuit in n dish, add a layer of the straw-lx-rry whip, then another layer of bis cuit, and continue alternately until the crenm is used up. Set aside In a very cold place, or on Ice, and serve In the dish In which It is prepared. Indies' Home Journal. Frle Cucumbers. Fried cucumlK'rs are recommended by a correspondent as being a very palatable dish. The receipt for this tiniuoial preparation Is as follows: Pool and slice lengthwise and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Dip In lightly beaten egg, roll In (lour and fry quickly In very hot grease, placing only a few slices at a time In the frying pan. Serve , hot. Tliey have much the taste of fried oysters. Hint for the Housewife Two pounds of potatoes contain as much nutriment as thirteen pounds of turn! (is. Light soups, light desserts and light meats should have the preference In warm weather. Gravies, sauces and soups, no matter how small the quantity, should be saved to use In warming over meat, flsh or vegetables. If you wish to keep cake fresh, put a saucer of cold water In the cake-box. The water should lie renewed every twenty-four hours. When drops of water stand on the outs'de of a pitcher the air Is full of moisture, and a change of weather for the worse Is lmpeullng. Cheese may lie kept from getting moldy by wrapping It In a ekith which lias been dlpied In vinegar and wrung nearly dry. Cover the cloth with a wrapper of paper and keep In a cool place. When the eiderdown comforts or pil lows lose their elasticity hang them where the air and sunshine can have full sweep at them, and In a few hours they will lie fluffy and light as when new. If a person Is overheated and. flushed : from the sun, It Is most Injudicious to use cold water on the face. A cloth wrung out of warm water should be ap plied gently to the face. Then dry It with a wift linen towel. The careful, conscientious housewife will always avoid satiety. She will never let any kind of food appear over and over again In the same guise. Above all other women, the housewife ahould have tact and discretion. Alwaya heat the plates on which yon nre going to put hot bread, cakes or plea. The nicest, crlspest paatry, If put while hot on a cold plate, will be come Dabby and not fit to eat If the pastry and plate got cold together, th former will not lose IU daklnees.

The su preme chancellor was given authority to call a special meeting at any time when he thought necessary. Tin laws of the uniform rank were so amended 'hat the supreme council was changed to the supreme assembly. This is a matter of form and a name that the members wanted. Instead of the uniform rank division the name baa been changed to companies.

Whitney, ex-jiostmafter general of the Hawaiian islands, who has just arrived from Honolulu, reports a strong revival of the annexation feeling on the Islands, and says it is greatly intensified t trough the belief that should Hawaii be annexed to tbe United States the threatened Japanese trouble would be entirely wiped out by tbe abrogation of nil existing treaties. By what is known as the Gibson treaty, entered into with Japan about thirteen years ago, Japanese may pour into the isl ands in unlimited numbers. They now number 25,000 and are coming. Whit ney says at the alarming rate of 8,000 year. He thinks it is only a question of a few years until the Japanese will outnumber the natives and naturalised population, and in that case they would cause serious trouble. They a'e already demanding tbe right of franchise, which by treaty Is conferred upon them as soon a tbey can read and writ the English language. Kate rield'e Will. Niw York, Sept. 4.

Li Hung Chatg and sui'.e said good bye to New York yetterday morning, when they crossed ovi-r to Jeraey City st 8 o'clock t nroute for Philadt lphia. The quietness of his departure was in marked contrast to the enthusiasm which greeted him when he arrived here. The big crowd gathered in West etreet did not even give him a farewell cheer. Before l.i's departure he was pre sented w ith an elegant silver bol by the New York Chinese merchants. Li thanked the merchants and urged them not to forget that they must, by their conduct in America, maintain the dignity of the Chinese nation and al ways act honorably in their dealings. He gave each caller there were forty in all a Chine-e silver medal struck in Europe in honor of bis circumnavi gation of the idobe. After the mer chants had withdrawn they placed the medals on their bteasts and took up a position in line while the viceroy passed out to bis carriage. His excellency left the Waldorf clad In his yellow jacket and wearing his peacock feathers. With him in the carriage were seated General Ruger, Lo Fing l.un and Dr. Mack. Ten moun ted pol'cemen headed the little proces sipn w bich went to the Desbroeaes pier of the Pennsylvania railroad. There about 1,000 had aptembled at Li drove onto the ferryboat New Jersey at 8 o'clock. There was no demonstration. A few minutes later the boat suited for Jersey City.

The Iriiili In Convention. Di'bi.in, Sep'. 4. The third day's session of the Irish race convention was ojiened w ith Right Reverend Pat rick O'IKinnel, bishop of Rhapoc, pre siding, Michael Davitt read messages from societies and individuals in New York, Queensland and elsewhere, ex pressing hopes that a complete union of the sects of the lush party would be effected. Dean Aairis of Toronto protested against the conduct of a Dublin news paper indicating Cbavaliir Henry aa a companion of Le Caron, the spy and informer. Canon McCartan supported a resolu tion setting forth that it was tbe prime duty of the lrii-h party to maintain its absolute indejiendence of the English and to preserve its perfect fieedum to oppose anything against the best inter ests ol the national cauee. Delegate Kitmrald of Bermunileey pioposed an amendment declaring that, the time will come when the Irish ra tional party will no longer treat with any Englbh party upon the question of obtaining home rule for Ireland, but rather the pariy will be devoted to making an English government in Ire land Impossible until the British gov ernment has cenceded to Ireland the tight of having a parliament of her own in Dublin. The motion was not sec onded and it was diopped. Faftaenger are .lolled. Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 4.

THOUSANDS LINE THE WIDE STREETS The Anuoal Election of Commander Nar rowing Liown o Clarkaoti ut Sehnuk. 1 and an Kaatero M.n-Mra. olin A. Vogn B4lc to ih Crowd. St. Pacl, Sept. 3. In recent yeai. it has been thought necessary to short en the length of the parade of the vet erans, but this year's pa raj la was al most two miles long, and, as it was over smooth pavement and easy walking, no ifl effects were expected from the tramp. Besides the meeting and recounting ol old acquaintances there is nothing that g.x-s ahead of this event, and to it i..r.ny of the old "vets"' looked forward through the entire year, saving their strength fur this return to tbe days w hen, as comrades, tl ey carried mus kets and touched elbows and found themselves not eo stiff after a short march as now. In the years that have paseed more have dropped out of line, many l.ave joined the "siient majority," and the gradually diminishing line re calls the more than generation that has passed since these were fighting men without equals. The "boys" marched to the music of war times, the music to which tiie union soldiers walked when they went forth against tbe southern foe to battle and victory. The route was purposely made less than two miles long, and over asphalt pavement all the way but many old soldiers were physically unequal to the task and contented themselves with viewing their comrades along the line. The abundance of excellent brass bands and fife and drum corps music was a feature of the patriotic spectacle. The start was at Dayton and Western avenues, in the vicinity of which were thronged 10,000 sightseers in all con ceivable places from which a view of the marching could be obtained. The procession swung into Sixth street, which decends towards the business center of the city, affording tens of thousands on that thoroughfare a su perb view of the great throng. Every large vacant place on Sixth street was filled with tiers of seats for spectators. Between the street curb and the build ing line were wedged a solid mass of humanity along the entire route. Above them, in every window, were crowded thousands more. The reviewing stand where the commander-in-chief proudly stood for three hourii bowing to the sa lutes of his comrades was at Smith park, near the foot of Sixth street, which marked the end of the inarch. A pretty picture at the starting point was made by a lot of little girls sta tioned at the Kittson residence, the ladies' headquarters, scattering flowers upon and in the path of the veterans aa they pasHed by. On one immense platform in the rear of the party, at the new federal building But a ''living flag" chorus of 2,000 public school chil dren, trained by Professor Oongdon and staff. When the veterans passed by with flags and banners fluttering in the breeze the band music ceased. From tbe throats of the little folks, soar ranged in red, white and blue and star dresses as to foim the .national flag, came an anthem of patriotism, includ ing the old soldier's favorites, "'March ing Through Georgia," "Star Spangled Banner," and "My Country, 'tis of Thee." As the inspiring vocal mneic fell on the war patriots' ears their steps became more elastic. On the reviewing stand on either side of the commadder and behind him were grouped his staff and national ollicers. All the members of the women's or ganization were there, Mrs. John A. Logan among them. There was fre quent cheering for McKinley all along the line by veterans and specta ors. A North Dakota veteran shouted "Hard wheat, hard money, and McKinley." Louisiana and Mississippi combined carried at shoulder arms a mjjar cane tipped with cotton balls. Every post had a band and none of them played badly. General Mason, U. 8. A., rode at the head of tbe last division. At midnight the commandership fight seemed to be narrowing down to Clark son of Omaha and Linehan of New Hampshire. New York, which was the mainstay of Meade, has gone to the New Hampshire comrade, and New England is solid for him. Six thousand people attended a camp fire at the Colliseum last night. Ad dresses were made by Gov. Upham of Wisconsin, General Brooke, U. S. A., Mrs. John A. Logan and General Alger. A Commander living. Seattle, Wash., Sept. 3. Comman der John Clark Newell of the United States ciuiser Detroit, at present on the China station, is dying in this city. Captain Newell arrive 1 here five weeks Ago on his way to Washington to make a report on the Central China mission ary massacres and waa taken ill a few days after his arrival. He has been un conscious for the past twenty-four ...rs. Car Wiirki Uloe Down. St. I-oi'is, Sept S. A special disp-lt from Madison, III., says: By the raiber mysterious closing of the Madison Oar works half the workingmen of this city have been thrown out cf employment. Tbe company paid Its men as usual Saturday, gi ring them pay checks foe their weekly wages. These checss have always been received for purchases and readily passed for cash. Since Satur day, however, the merchants have de clined ta cash the checks. A Ueatnea A hiuu freMctiero. New Yokk, Sept. 2. Yesterday morn ing Li Hung Chang received a represen tation of clergymen representing the various boards of American foreign mis sioiiB engaged in missionary work in China. Rev. Dr. Ellenwood, secretary of the Presbyterian board of mist-ions read an address thanking tbe viceroy lor the prot ction afforded American mission aries in Chida and for the many kind txpressions uttered by Li Hung Chang and others of the appreciation with which the educational work, the ser vices of the missionaries, both men and women in the hospitals and dispensa ries and tbe selfdenying efforts put forth by the missionaries in the dis tribution of relief in the time of famine were regarded. The clergvmen were presented by Hon. John W. Foster, who (aid they represented the best element in the United States. To this the ambaHsad r made both a verbal and wri ten reply. Through hi interpreter he said he tboiouh ly appreciated the dii-intereste 1 motives which prompted the missionaries to en gage in missionary work in China. He was especial y gratitied at tue good work accomplished by the medical col- eges. Chrittiauity and Confucianism have interests in common. H lh taught ideal truths, the one bum-; positive, t le ot ier negative. He had not word o express his appreciat on of tl.e eff irta of A. mericans to improve the souls, tin minds and the physique of hie country men. OPIUM THE NATIONAL CCKSK. in conclusion he observed that the opium trade and its use was the great curse of the Chinese people He fully appreciated the eff orts made by Ameri can missionaries to modify the traffic, and pointed with pride to the fact that no converts were accepted until tbey bad abandoned the opium-smoking habit. He also fully appreciated the prayers offered up by Americans in the illness following his shooting by the Japanese. John L. Sullivan at it Again. Nkw Yokk, Sept. 2. At Madison Square garden last nigiit about 4,600 sports took their hrst opportunity ol seeing Thomas Sharkey of California, the ex-tailor, who claims to have bested aud nearly knocked out Jan es J. Cor-1 bett at San Trancisco. The aspirant for championship honors sparred four exhibition rounds with the old Napo leon of the prize ring, John L. Sullivan. Of course scarcely any opinion of Sharkey's merits or demerits could te obtained, as John L. was so fat and unwieldly that he waa in bis own way. The Californian is undoubtedly a pow erful man and very fast but beyond that he tiad no opportunity of showing what he could do. The crowd were penectly satisfied to see the man who is matched to meet Corbett to a finish next December, and did not expect to ire a fight. Peter Maher and Fitzsim moiis occupied seats in the house and a'ter the bell rang for the first round Fit.Minmons came down to tbe ring side and sized Sharkey up. I was 10 :1ft when Sullivan and Sharkey were seen coming down lrom the dressing room. The big fellow al most hid the ex-sailor, who followed behind, robed in a grey bath robe. Sullivan was greeted with a terrilic round of applause' as usual. He was hog-fat, his abdomen hanging in a fold over the waistband of bis trunks. Hiarkey was a decided contrast when he threw off bis bath robe and ftood ani.ed in bright green trunks wi.h a belt of the national colors. AtlOiUO Charley Har. y introduced ti e men. John L. was again greeted with a i-aivo of cbeeis, while Sha.key was more moderately applauded. Tne crowd in jsiBttdon ut epeich and John, whose : voice has grown quite husky, said : "I am here to spar an exhibition only. I have had my day and this young man j is ambitious and trying to reach the top of the ladder. I am only going to 1 spar in a friendly way. I am almost too fat. I hope you won't say any harsh things." Then the gong sounded for the three minute rounds and Sharkey danced all around the big fellow, whose attempts at agility were pathetic. Occasionally during the bout John L. let out with a faint trace of hie former self, but 1 Sharkey could have laded at will and I made little or no attempt at defense. I Sam Austin was referee, but of course none was needed. Acting InBpictor Hariey was in charge of the police, who were not called upon to interfere. Four bouts between local boxers pre' ceded the main event. In a KereWrr'i Hand" Brooklvn, N. Y., fcept. 2.The Kings County Elevated Railway company, cip talized at $4,750,0 0, went into Ihe hands of a receiver Monday morning. Gen. James Jourdan, the president of the company, with the consent of all parties, was .named receiver. Tbe in ability of the company to meet accru ing bond and debenture indebtedness is owing to tbe injuries that the trolley tars have done to their business. Since tbe trolley cars were introduced the receipts have fallen off over one half. In Had Hhape. London, Sept. 2. Baroness de Roques the mother of Mrs. Maybrick, had an interview with the prisoner last week. She says that she found her daughter very ill in the infirmary and thinks her condition hopeless. The baroness adds that Mrs. Maybrick is not likely to sur vive the whiter. Mrs. Maybrick, ac cording to her mother, is absolutely crushed with despair and she fays it would wring a person's heart to see her. The baroness returned to the continent. TREMBLES ON HIS THRONE Sultan cf Turkey in Fear of Euicpesi Powers Toward Dethroning Him. EUROPE FACES A CRISIS IN HISTORY. Mobs and Biota Still Continue I'nahatrd In Ouietaut nuple and Other Llila of Turkey. London, Sept. 1. The Daily News in its editorial columns yesterday morning says; "Europe is face to face with tbe deposition of tbe sultan and the par I lion of Turkey." A dispatch from Berlin says: It is announced fiom Vienna that the Rus sian czar and Emperor Francis Joseph and the statesmen who attended the recent pcliucal conference held there arr.ved at an agreement which will proliaMy fettle the Aimeuian trouble without disturbance of the existing Turkish frontier. Prince Lobanoff is leporttd to have eaid : "We have enough to io with our own Armenians. We don't want to have their number increased " A dispatch to the Times from Con stantinople says that the joint note of the ambassadors of the powers asking the sublime Porte to suppress the dis orders in Constantinople without de lay, failing to have the desired effect, the representatives of the powers dis patched a joint telegram, warning the eultan that he endangered the Turkish empire by suffering the continuance of anarchy by the connivance of tbe im perial troops and the police. It is said that the sultan trembled when he re reived this warning telegram. Neither the members of the diplomatic circles nor rational observers doubt that an armed mob of Turks had been organ ized for possible riots. It was noticed that less than two hours after the in sane attack on the Ottoman bank by the Armenians the mob that filled the streets at Galata overspread the whole city, and the Turks, in parties from 120 to 150 strong, appaiently well organ ized and acting in concert, crossed in lighters from Stamboul. In commenting upon the rapidity with which the mob overspread Con stantinople the correspondent says that all of the mischief could not have been done without organisation and without the connivance of the authorities. New York Gate Hawaiian. Washington, Sept. 1. Cousul-Gen-eral Mills at Honolulu, supplementing a former report calling attention to the diversion of Hawaiian trade from San Francisco to New York, writes to the department under date of August 13, that during the six months ending June 30, the total exports from Honolulu to United States were valued at $8,748, 526 40, against $4,499,916.27 for the cor responding period last year, an increase of nearly $4,000,000. Of this total $8,542,781.64 represents the value of sugar sent to America, $2,457,532 of it going around the Horn to New Y rk, except a small cargo which went to Bos ton. Already during the present cal endar year the di-iect shipments to New York have amounted to $3,046,369 49. Consul Vuth, at Madgeburg, in a re port to tbe state department, says the first reply to Germany in reference to increased sugar bounties from Austria, where the consumption tax has been in creased from $4.45 to $5.26 per 100 kilos raw Bugar net, and the total amount cf export bounty to be granted by the gov ernment has gone up from $2,203,100 to $3,641,40 1. The new law went into operation August 31 and lasts one year. France for the present has only in creased the duty 6A cents on raw sugar and 87 cents in refined grades per hun dred kilos to prevent. German sugar en tering the country to compete with her own product, but she is confidently ex pected to increase the secret export bouuty soon or pay an open bounty to meet German sugar in the world's market. Armenians Making liombl. Constantinople, Sept. 1. The police yesterday discovered an Armenian bomb factory in full operation. The work of making bombs was carried on in an underground vault near the north ern walls of the city. At Kasskein yesterday the houses of a number of Armenians living in that place were attacked by Turks, tbe male hea Is of these domestic establishments being absent. All of the Armenian ser vants in the dwellings were killed and the houses sacked. The ladies escaped to Yenikoi for personal effects. The estimates of tbe number of persons killed in the recent disturbances here are increasing. The British embassy here will oblige all tbe English families who have taken refuge under the chartered steamer Hungary to return to their homes. Some Mora Race Trouble. Camp Hill, Ala., Aug. 31. A serioua riot is reported near here. Some county, peace officers had arrested several ne groes and were taking them to jail when a body of negroes attacked tbe officers and undertook to release the prisoners. The officers were reinforced by a num b r of white residents and a pitched bat tli followed, guns, axes and fence rails bjing the weapons used. Shot In Hotel Kitchen. Burr alo, Wyo., 8ept. 81.
