The question what we stonll eat con tinues to be an absorbing one to the human race. There An Important are moments in Problem. tl)e jj fe ()f lnanv a woman when the world seems to her nothing but a vast market, from which she must snatch such food as the may, and spend her whole force in preparing it, only to see it disap pear from her tired hands before the greedy demands of appetite. Against the depression of this mood there are a few remedies. One is found in the determination of the housewife that in her home the food shall be so cooked and served as to remove tlie meal as far as possible from the mere process of feeding, and ally it with the satisfaction of those appe tites that we call the higher. The meal swallowed hastily in a hot, un tidy room, from a table heaped rath er than spread, is a degradation alike to cook iind to eater. On the other hand, a meal served with accessories so gorgeous a.s to dazzle all the senses is no less vulgar. A meal, bo it humble or rich, set forth with the dignity and seemliuess which come from clean linen, well-ordered dishes, and plenty without surfeit, becomes a function as worthy of a high spirit as the reading of a good book or the hearing of music. There are two kinds of good cooking, observes the Youth's Companion. One of them in represented by the work of the ac complished French chef. His sauces are "creations," and his omelette is worth the pries of a week's food for » iainiiy. l'he other kind is as sim ple as it is inexpensive. A dish of green peas prepared by a New Eng land farmer's wife; a bowl of "hasty pudding" eaten in the kitchen where ii was cooked; a plate of macaroni from the hand of an Italian peasant woman—these may be truly triumphs in the art of cookery. The conclu sion of the whole matter —healthful for the tired housekeeper and for the overfed millionaire—is that food is a means to life, not life itself; and that whoever overvalues or under values it fails to live fully and richly. An incident of no very great impor tance in itself sometimes gives the ob- Chnrity the EerVer a P'impse of the vast mass of Highest Duty. . , , , misfortune and hu man misery that lies direct 1\ beneath the surface of society. The visit of llr. Lorenz to Chicago is such an inci dent. From all over the city—and from other cities—flock scores of peo ple hoping that the Austrian surgeon will take pity on their deformed chil dren and restore them to health and usefulness:. And this is but one phase and a very small phase of purely physical distress. The disease which is Dr. Lorenz' specialty it of compar atively rare occurrence. When we enn *idcr that tuberculosis, for example, numbers tens of thousands of victims where hip disease claims c ne we may gain an imperfect idea of the great burden which humanity bears in the way of bodily ailments alone. When to thi.i is added tin- mental nrguish vhich mankind endures the total is appalling. Not so appalling, however, as to be hopeless. Every man is his brother's keeper and if he can be brought to realize thai obligation the niiser\ and suffering of humanity will not, indeed, be wiped out, but it wiil lie reduced to a minimum fa r below the present <li-tre>sing aggregate. The < ill J of the present century is above all things charity. It is unusual to find an Fnglisli writer speaking thus appreciatively of an Americanism; "The strictest. pttrUt will forgive the Americans n good deal in the way of coining words lor the sake of their charming ren •leriiiL' of our word 'autumn.' *ol only lin Mali' ,i pleasant sound, hill it L' \e II- in four letters the whoh beaut v and ii lody ol the few v« eh : hat peed the ilepartiiif sum nicr. 4111 , few we- I ..f red and gold lire lili . ~d> up \lr« .ul\ t lie \i r.i i.i cr* •pc r, e.i I • tto come ■ ltd i .

San Francisco, Oct. 31. —The entire coffee zone of Guatemala has been de stroyed by flames and smoke from the volcano of Santa Maria.

He reports that the eruption of the volcano at Santa Marin, adjoining Quezaltenango. continues; -that the city is covered with six inches of vol canic matter; rich coffee plantations on the coast side are buried under seven feet of sand and ashes from the volcano, and that detonations from the eruption were heard in the capital. There have been frequent earthquakes and another eruption is reported in the department of Tom bador. Much excitement prevails. TAX FIXERS. One oT the l.an: tlnkeii Contention at Clili'H£o Concerning tlie 1.1-aiulr Plot tliat Collapsed Willi lllkrovrr)' of JVlaftonlc Temple Fraud*. ( nieago, Oct. 31.—The Daily News says: To State Attorney Deneen and his uncle, Police Inspector Wheeler, Luke Wheeler, the convicted tax fixer, has revealed in all its ramifications the gigantic plot that collapsed with the d>eovery of the Masonic lemple frauds, L nless the present program shall be changed. Wheeler \till go be fore the grand jury today and, in a formal declaration under oath, reit erate the statements made to the prosecutor. Wheeler's confession places hint in a new light, and if accepted literally, removes from him the stigma of the charge of building up a defense with lorn list ones of the dead. The con spiracy, or rather the series of con spiracies, drove two men to suicide, according to the confession. According to Wheeler, the Masonic Temple fraud was merely incidental to an extensive series of operations, training im<it nun i uc past and made possinle through lax methods, cou pled with a desire on the part of re.t sponsible prominent business houses to evade taxation. Moreover, according to Wheeler's declaration, the promissory notes he was placed on trial for forging were bona tide and legitimate paper, lie said that a public official at Spring field sought to blackmail the clique, threatened exposure and prosecution against one in particular and worried him into ending his life. The second suicide involved in the ease was due. Wheeler says, to fear that the fugi tive (Wheeler) would confess when he was brought back from Canada.

Palmyra, Wis., Oct. 31.—What is supposed to have been one of the most diabolical murders ever com mitted occurred Thursday when tlie home of William Wickingson, three miles southeast of this place, was burned to the ground after, it is thought, tlie three occupants had been robbed and murdered. The names of those whose charred re mains were found in the ruins are as follows: William Wickingson, aged 43 years. Albert Wickingson, aged -10 years. Julia Wickingson, aged '.i"> years. Evidence secured point.- to murder. The important clues are that William Wickingson drew SSOO from a local bank Wednesday and that a rig was heard on the road near the Wicking son home shortly before the fire was discovered. In the search of the ruins William W'ickingson's body was found face downward with arms out stietched. and near the charred holies of the right hand was found a revol ver and slttl.l in gold. \ tin box was also found containing burned frag ments' -opposed to be bills amount ing to nearly $1,(100.

CAMERON COUNT'S PRESS, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 190*. THROUGH CANADA. Objectionable European Immi grants Enter the States. Ileport of llobort Wati-liorn, Special Immigrant Inspector, It eco m tiii-inl* Tlial All ltoa«li» Into Till* Country He Unite Stratiflit and Narrow. Washington, Oct. 30.—Commissioner General Sargent, of the immigration bureau, has made public a report from Hubert Wa-tchorn, special immi grant inspector, dated l'aris, France, on the immigration to the United States by way of Canada. Mr. Watch orn says that Europeans who obvi ously are ineligible to enter the United States tor several years have been directed by designing agents to Canadian ports with a view to effect ing a surreptitious entrance into the United States across the interna tional noundary. Intending immi grants who by reason of \some dis qualification are rejected by the lines running to United States ports are turned over to lines running to Can ada and with few exceptions they are accepted without question, '.thous ands every year thus tind their way to Canada and thence to the United States. .Mr. Watchorn says: "Every steam ship agent alludes to the fact that the United States immigration laws are. now being strictly enforced, and in consequence the Canadian route is earnestly recommended as one •where any one is accepted who is capable of walking off the ship,' a statement which is invariably coupled with a gratuitous lesson in North American geography, designed to im press on the emigrant's mind the cheering information that Montreal is a "border city," from which a walk across the border is a very easy mat ter, unattended by any inconvenience whatever, there being no inspection of immigrants a.t said border. "The efficient work of the immigra tion officials at New York and outer ports of the United States not only tends to make a farce of the com mendable scrutiny exercised at the Belgium, Holland and German ports, but serves to stimulate the work of unprincipled and mercenary Eu ropean steamship passenger agents, who regularly send to Canada not only those whose admission to a United States port is open to doubt, nr those whose admission is known to be impossible, but also those who have been actually denied admission nt, a United States port and who have been duly deported therefrom accord ing to law. "So important a matter has this shady emigration become in certain Italian and Swiss towns that scores of agencies exist, where a normal traffic would scarcely justify the maintenance of a single agency." In conclusion the report urges that all roads into the United States be aintk c«itia!l t -( i ailfllt tlUtl nnrrow, POSTAL AFFAIRS. %niniitl Iteport of J. 1,.

L. lirisiow, fourth assistant postmaster general. 'I his is the largest number appointed in any one year in the history of the postal service. The increase was due mainly to the expiration ol commis sions during the year and the ad vance of many fourth cla -s offices to the presidential grade. The total number of appointments of postmas ters ( if all classes was IG.OiO, an in crease of 1,313. There was a slight increase in the number of removals of postmasters "for cause," as a result of a more strict discipline for carelessness anc irregularities. There were 3,03$ post offices established and 4,059 dis continued. The number of postoffices in the United States ,7un» 30, was 7.>.924, of which 220 were first class 1,023 second elass, 1!.453 tuird class and 71.103 fourth class.

Washington, Oct. 30. —'President Roosevelt on Wednesday issued his proclamation designating Thursday, Nov. L' 7, as a day of thanksgiving. The proclamation is as follows: "According to the yearly custom of our people, it falls upon the president at (his season to appoint a day of festival and thanksgiving to God. "Over a century and a quarter has passed since this country took its place among the nations of the earth and during that time we have had on the whole more to be tnankful for than has fauen to the lot of any other people. Generation after gen eration lias grown to manhood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to face its special crisis and each has known years of grim trial. "Xcvert heless, decade by decade, we have struggled onward and up ward; we now enjoy material well being, and under the favor of the Most High we are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual uplift ing'. The year that hris just closed has been one of peace and of over flowing plenty. Rarely has any peo ple enjoyed greater prosperity than ve are now enjoying. For this we render heartfelt and solemn thanks to the Giver of flood; and we seek to praise Him not by words only but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellow men. "Now, therefore, I, Theodore RooseVelt, president of the United States, do hereby designate as a holi day of general thanksgiving. I hurs day, the 27th of the coining Novem ber, and do recommend that through out the land the people cease from their ordinary occupations, and in their several homes and places of worship render thanks unto Almighty God for the manifold blessings of the past year."

AVilkesoarre, x a., Oct. *>" .Mitchell day"was celebrated in all the princi pal towns of the anthracite coai re gion yesterday and in order that all the mine workers might participate in the exercises, the mines were closed down. The principal demon strations were held in this city and President Mitchell took part. Every body wore a John Mitchell badge. The procession was nearly one hour in passing a given point. It is esti mated that there were 10,000 men in line. President. Mitchell was given an ovation all along the line of march and whenever his carriage stopped the crowd from the sidewalk pressed around and insisted on shaking bin hand. An American flag was carried at the head of every "local."and brass bands by the score furnished music. The banners carried born many curious inscriptions. Some of them read as follows: "I'.y arbitration we hope to gam our just demands." "Unity and friendship make peace." "God bless our country and our union." After tlie parade a big mass meet ing was held at Y. M. C. A. park. The first speaker was Kev. ,1.-K. Powers, of Spring Valley, 111. He said he had known John Mitchell since boyhood and he always found him noble and upright. Thomas Haggerty, of Jleynoldsville, Pa., eulogized Mitchell for his great work in behalf of the miners.

Scranton, Pa., Oct. 31.—The seven commissioners appointed by Presi dent Roosevelt to adjust the differ ences existing between the anthracite mine workers and their employers made a tour of the extreme upper coal field yesterday and saw every step taken 111 the production of coal from the time it is blasted up 1o the point where it is sent to market. The arbitrators had an interesting day and returned to their hotel last night, grimy from coal dust and tired after eight hours of investigation. The trip was quite a novelty to most of the commissioners, some of them never having been in the hard coal regions. The commissioners displayed the greatest interest in every feature of coal mining, and went about their work in a manner that was pleasing to both the mining superintendents and the representatives of the mine workers who accompanied the com missioners. The arbitrators had to endure many discomforts, make their way through wet places in the mines, almost crawl along some of the gang ways in the workings and pass through clouds of coal dust in the breakers. Notwithstanding this their eagerness for information was not di minished. It would be unfair to say that one commissioner displayed more inter est than another, but it can lie truly' said that Hishop Spalding asked more questions than any one of the others. Jle was usually in the center of a group of commissioners and asked many questions of those who are em ployed in and about the mines. The tour consisted of an inspection of No. 2 mine of the Hillside Coal and Iron Co., operated by the Erie Co., and the Coalbrook breaker of the Del aware <fe Hudson Co. The former is located at Forest City, 22 miles north of this city, and the breaker is at Carbondale, four miles south of For est City. On the run up the Lacka wanna valley the commissioners viewed the mining towns situated along the Delaware & Hudson rail road. fcjcranton, Pa., Nov. 1. —The first important action by the anthracite coal strike commission was taken Friday when it.was announced by Carroll I). Wright, recorder of the commission, that if a iy award affect ing the existing rate of wages shall be made, the award shall be effective from November I.it was fully ex pected that this question would come up before the arbitrators, but the ac tion of the commissioners shuts off any possible controversy that either side may have desired to raise. The commission spent yesterday in continuing their inspection of the mines and the mining region about Scranton. They visited the Manville colliery in the forenoon and the after noon was spent in riding through the region on a special trolley car. The commission may make a pre liminary report on three of the prin cipal strike questions. They are the increase in wages, a shorter work day and the weighing of coal. Wilkesbarre, I'a.. Nov.
