HUGHES' CANDIDACY.
Senator Agnew Says There Was Lit
tle Real Support For Him at
Chicago.
New York, June 28. State Senator
George B. Agnew, who Introduced one
of Governor Hughes' antl-gambllng
bills In the legislature and one of the
delegates to the Chicago convention,
said that he does not believe Governor
Hughes can be renominated this fall.
He further said he believed that the
governor had lost popularity markedly
In the past two months, and added
that he did not believe he could be
forced upon the Republican party.
Mr. Agnew Indicated that there was
almost universal resentment felt
toward the governor by the delegates
and politicians who went to Chicago.
Another Interesting bit of politi
cal information supplied by the sena
tor was that Speaker James W. Wads
worth, Jr., had informed his friends
at Chicago that he did not desire to
be considered for the gubernatorial
nomination.
In response to a query as to the talk
about the renominatlon of the gov
ernor among the delegates. Senator
Agnew said:
"I do not believe the governor can
he named again. I do not believe, In
addition, that he will be a candidate.
I believe that In the last two months
he has lost ground markedly. Then
the politicians, without exception, are
very resentful toward him."
"How did they talk about him on the
train?" was asked.
"They talked as If they were done
with him. and with unmistakable bit
terness." "Then there was little real support
for Hughes in the New York delega
tion?" "Very little."
"Do you favor the renominatlon of
Hughes?"
"No, not at the present time; it's
a little too early to be for any one,
but I don't think he could be forced
upon the party. I did feel earlier in
the year that when Hughes had a lit
tle more experience In official life he
would show some of that 'red blood'
that they talk about. But every time
I mention the subject every one says
'no' and I begin to think they are
right
"I think, officially, he has made an
Ideal governor, and I think he Is per
fectly Blncere In his belief that he
should not pay any attention to his
friends or follow their advice. But I
believe, If he had heeded his friends
instead of having taken advice from
outside he might have been nominated
at Chicago."
"What if he should announce his
candidacy for the renominatlon for
governor?"
"Well, I don't believe he could he
named. Certainly he could not if his
boom were in 'the hands of the same
people who had charge of his presi
dential boom."
"How would the New York county
Republican organization stand on the
matter, if the governor announced his
candidacy?"
"I think they would have to be for
him."
"Did you hear any other candidates
for governor suggested?" was asked.
"The most I heard was that Speak
er James W. Wadsworth had told his
friends he did not want to be consid
ered for It. I think he could have the
nomination, if he wanted It; that is,
of all the up-state men, he seems to be
the most available, but it was the un
derstanding out at the convention that
Wadsworth did not want it."
Forty Families Made Homeless.
Portchester, N. Y., June 23. Defy
ing the efforts of firemen from this
and several nearby towns, a fire rag
ing uncontrolled for two hours before
It was checked destroyed a block of
buildings, rendered forty families
homeless and entailed a loss of $500,
000. The fire broke out In the large
building of the Burns livery stables,
occupied In part by the Borden Con
densed Milk company. Sparks com
municated with adjoining buildings
and aid was asked from Rye, Harri
son, East Portchester and Greenwich
fire departments. The entire block
bounded by Westchester avenue,
Broad street and Factory place was
burned to the ground and buildings
on both sides of Irving avenue were
destroyed. The Baptist church, half
a mile away from the fire, was set
ablaze by sparks and was partially
destroyed.
Study of Public Ownership.
London, June 23. Colonel John
Van Wormer, vice president of the
Lincoln Safe Deposit company, now in
Europe on a holiday, has been study
ing the question of municipal owner
ship. The colonel, who is a member
of the Civic Federation, does not think
public ownership of public utilities an
anqualified success. He finds it has
resulted in the burden of taxation be
ing enormously Increased and that,
while all the smaller officials are scru
pulously honest, the men right up to
the top display human weakness as
much as their brethern in the United
States. This, he says, also applies to
business men.
Kaiser Opposes Congo Settlement.
London, June 23. The Brussels cor
respondent of the Chronicle quotes a
leading Liberal deputy as saying that
Germany means to intervene in the
Congo question as soon as the Belgian
parliament votes for the annexation of
the Congo Independent State. She in
tends to protest against one of the
clauses of the transfer treaty and this
will Inevitably provoke another inter
national conference on the Congo ques
tion. The Kaiser and Chancellor von
Buelow have agreed on the subject,
and King Leopold has been notified
Spanish Swindle Is Exposed.
The department of state has been ad
vised by 'the Spanish minister that
the authorities at Madrid have discov
ered a private office from which the
alleged swindlers operated who sent
to the United States fraudulent let
ters forming part of what has been
known in this country as the "Spanish
estate swindle." The minister states
that the person in charge of the office
has been arrested, and his books
seized, which contained the addresses
of numerous persons residing In the
Ualted States. It is thought possible
that there are still branches of this
swindling society existing-
State Railways to Be Electrified.
The Westlnghouse electric. Inter
eats in Germany, It Is announced, have
formed a combination with the Berg
mann Electric company of Berlin,
whereby the Bergmanns will install
the Westlnghouse electric traction
systems in that country. The combine
has been formed for the purpose . of
furnishing the enormous requirements
of the Prussian state railway adminis
tration which has decided to electrify
the steam railways, $12,500,000 already
having been appropriated to begin
this work. The Bergmann Electric
company Is a semi-American concern,
as the head of the company, Slgmund
Dergmann, was the partner of Thomas
A. Edison for a number of years. The
company has works in Berlin employ
ing 5,000 men.
Roosevelt Announces an Innovation.
Secretary Loeb has announced from
Oyster Bay that there will be a
change In the Inaugural ceremony at
Washington next March. It has been
the custom of the new president and
his predecessor to ride together to the
White House after the oath of office
had been administered at the Capitol.
President Roosevelt has decided to
change this, and no matter who his
successor may he, Roosevelt will not
accompany him to the White House.
Immediately after the ceremony at
the Capitol, Mr. Roosevelt will leave
for Oyster Bay, where he will remain
until about the first of April, when be
starts on his hunting trip to Africa.

Wedderly (gloomily) The price of
con I.
Why when and how
to preserve eggs.
THE QUALITY WAY
There are nt Imsi three pcrtiuont reason
(or prt'Mt'rving pits.
1. If you th-sir fresh eif in winter,
when prices tire high, you cuu have a iur
supply of bettor t'L-n tluin you ran be cer
Liu of being nble lo buy Ht the grocery.
2. If you ket'p liens and wish to hold
your erga for n better price, you can. by the
"Jmiluy" method, ponitively preserve theui
so that uo test exeept incubation can deter
mine that they are more than a week oid.
a. Slum ll you wish to speculate by pur
charting ''(Tit when price is low and selling
when price Ik high, you can do It and know
(hut your eggs are far superior to the belt
cold storage eggH on the market.
The hhell of an egg contains a multitude
of pure which are tilled with organic mat
ter. After twenty-four hour, if exposed to
the air at a temperature a hove 84 J, this
matter slowly decomposes, allowing air to
enter the egg carrying with it the noxious
gases which attack the albumeu through the
itlinity existing between these gases and the
sulphur contnined in the egg After ft day.
under ususl conditions, the egg is no longer
"strictly fresh" and becomes a little worse
each day until it is "only Ht to throw at the
umpire."
'J he effect of greasing the shell does not
top the proce of decomposition, neither
does the whitewash (or lime) process. Cold
itorage in ineffectual because sometimes tha
temperature gets too high, and in planta
where ammonia it used this gas may be the
means of giving the egg an indescribably
bad ltnvor. Oata have no preservative quali
ties, and packing in salt simply retards the
gases of decomposition from escaping into
the atmosphere and aids its Ingress to the
Interior of the egg. Ko, any of theie meth
ods are failures in regard to preserving the
quulity of the egg.
Thus it becomes a matter of importance In
your own family to know how to preserve
sggs perfectly without encountering any of
the disagreeable features attending ordi
nary methods.
Money is being made every year by per
sons preserving eggs the "Quality" way.
with no risk of Iohk, because whether one
dozen or 1,000 dozen are preserved the
result Is certain, If instructions are CArefully
followed, and when nix months nltl no expert
can distinguish thein from newly laid egga
by any test except an attempt at incuba
tion. In the Spring months eggs are plentiful
snd the price is low. The farmer's good
wife gathers the eggs from day to day and it
may be t'le accumulation of two or three
weeks that she finally sells, honestly believ
ing that they are "strictly fresh."
The grocer buys eggs and place,! them In
baskets occupied by older eggs, lie sella
freMi eggs from these baskets every day, but
does not rrnch the bottom until broody hens
reduce the supply and he is still selling
"strictly fresh eggs, some of which have
been in stock six weeks or more. They
have been preserved by the "open air"
method, and if yon depend upon the market
for your supply the quality of the goods is
ilway a conundrum. In the meantime the
price has advanced, so that eggs which cost
13c, are sold for --c
The owner of hens cannot afford to sell
ergs nt nny time for 1.1 cents a dozen, hut
is obliged to if he knows of no way to pre
serve their quality perfectly while waiting
for the price to rise.
WHEN TO PRESERVE EGOS.
Many people have flocks of hens that art
prolific layers from April till September.
After that they rarely lay enough egga to
pay for their car.
Quoting from our local market, (and we
have kept tab several yearn ) the price in
April is 18c retail, and the grocer paya
from 14c to lHc. In May you can get l;to
If you have less than five doyen in the bas
ket. In .Tune and July half the hens are
broody and prices advance so the grocer pays
me aim noes not hk u tne eggs are
"strictly fmli." In August the price ad
vances to '20c, and in September to 2'2c.
October marks 26c, Kovembei 80c, and dur
ing the next three months fresh eggs find a
ready market nt from 32c to 34e. The retail
price is always from two to four cents
higher.
Now, It is quite apparent that If eggs laid
in duly and August are preserved till Decem
ber they will hhow a profit of ten cents a
dozen.
It becomes plain, therefore, that the per
fect preservation of eggs for periods of four
and five months will result in a nice profit
on the money invented, whether that invest
ment n made in hens or in fresh eggs, and
there Is no doubt as to the esult, as the
demand is Hlwaya present and the market
open.
That this can be done nt a nire profit and
never sell an egg unfit for food, we posi
lively know.
For our own family use we preserve the
eggs laid in July and August, and they re
main perfectly fresh, with no change in flovor,
until eggs are plentiful again, in the Hpring.
HOW TO PRESERVE EOOS.
This problem has been the subject of con
stant Investigation all over the world for
half a reiMury, and it was less than tea
years ago that a succeKsful method wan dis
covered. The discovery was not made by
us, but we hove tested the method thoroughly
and carefully for five years with the most
satisfactory refills. We call it The "Qual
ity" Way, because the quality of the egg is
perfectly preserved. We hsve kept eggs
Ciore than a year nnd they wpre still good,
ence, we ore honest in our belief that eggs
can be kept in a perfectly fresh condition
longer than anyone needs to keen them.
We have supplied a great many people
with the method, nnd, where instructions
were carefully followed, there were no fail
ures. The process Is simple, the labor insigni
ficant, the material inexpensive and at the
end no traces are left to indicate that the
eggs have been "kept." The most skilled
expert cannot tell the difTorence between an
egtr four months old a '.'J one laid the day
before, by cundllng, breaking, whipping or
cooking
We will supply yon wtih explicit instruc
tions fur preKcrving eggs the "Quality Way"
for one dollar, nnd there will be no strings
attached to th purchase.
Having purchased the Instructions they are
yours to do with as yon plense. You may
"II or give the method to your neighbors
if you choose, or you can keep your own
ctunsel ami let them wonder why your hens
produce an Hhi.ndance of eggs nt a time
when theif own hens .re "eating their heads
off "
If yon care for a supply of fresh eggs for
your own table, all winter, this process is
wnrili more to you than the price asked.
It will not make a bad egg good, but It
, will nri-Kcrve fresh eggs continually fresh for
an indefinite period.
Nothing is used that Is poison or caustic,
oi that penetrates beyond the shell.
If vmi are sufnelentlv interested, send us
n dollar and the instructions will be promptly
