Death warrants were signed Tuesday by Gov. Hastings for two Alleghenv county murderers. George Douglass is to be hanged November 30 and Phillip Hill is to be hanged December 8. They are negroes, and one of them was con victed for one of the murders along the new Pittsburg, Bessemer and Lake Erie railroad. Another death warrant sign ed same day. It was for the execution on December 7of Herman P. Schultz, of Pike county. Douglass and Schultz will be executed on a Tuesday, while Hill is to die on a Wednesday, indicat ing that the Governor is not in sym pa thy with the old rule of making Fri day hangman's day. j The nomination papers of Willian R. Thompson, a Pittsburg banker. Inde pendent candidate for State Treasurer, were filed at the State Department Tuesday. Some of the papers were re jected because of the neglect of the signers to give their occupation, but not enough were thrown out to keep Thompson's name off the liallot. A preliminary injunction was grant ed Architects Alden & Harlow at Har risburg on Monday in the suit brought by the Pittsburg designers against Gov ernor Hastings and the Capitol Com missioners to prevent those officials from breaking a contract. The hear ing for the answer and argument was placed for Friday, this week, when it is expected a permanent injunction will be granted, as Governor Hastings him self refused to join his fellow commis sioners in their action. Attorney General McCormick has de clined to act as counsel for the Capitol Building Commission in the injunction proceedings brought by certain archi tects in the Dauphin and Lancaster county courts. Auditor General Mylin. Senator McCarrell and State Treasurer Haywood waited upon the Attorney General Tuesday and asked that the represent the commission in the litiga tion pending against it. Mr. McCor mick replied that he had, by the unani mous request of the commissioners, given a written opinion sometime ago as to their legal duties under the pro gramme of competition for architects for the erection of the proposed Capitol bnilding. in which he advised them to adhere to and observe all the require ments of the programme as they had promised "to do. and that four of the reverse himself and go into court and take a jKwition directly opi>osite to what he believed, and believes now to be the duty of the commissioners, the Attorney General declined to do so unless con vinced that his previous |K>sition was erroneous. State chairman Elkin has appointed the following Executive Committee; Hon. Henry K. Boyer, Philadelphia; Hon. Walter Lyon. Pittsburg; Mr Charles F. Kindred, Philadelphia; Hon. William H.

The people who drew and the Legisla ture that passed the amendment to the ballot law whereby a candidate is pre vented from being placed on the ballot in more than one column were evidently blind. A more absurd proposition was never before advanced. Under the law the judges nominated by the Republi can party in Philadelphia were lucky in having their certificates of nomina tion filed first in the State Department, for if the Democrats, who have since nominated the same candidates for judges, had taken precedence in the mat ter of filing the certificates of nomina tion, the names could not have been al lowed to again go on the ticket under the Republican head. Take another view of it. Suppose the Prohibition party had nominated ffie samecandida ten for judges nnd had hitd the good for tune to file the certificate of nomination firstin the State Department -under the crank law ax it now exists the Repnbli can and Democratic parti en would be barred from placing the names of those candidates under either the Republican or Democratic heads because the Prohi bitionists ha<l filed their certificate first. If this law had obtained last year a mi nority party might hive nominated William McKinley for President and barred any other party from placing his name on the ticket in this State, provid ed the nomination papers of tlie minor ity pariy were filed first Hoe how ut terly ridiculous such an amendment is. We question very much whether it is constitutional, but the court will settle that matter Tn a very few days, liar risbnrg Telegraph. CALLING oat troops to suppress a riot caused by an epidemic is a novelty, but that is just what hapi>ened in Mis sissippi, a few days ago, when a mob tore up the railway tracks near Jackson to prevent the spread of yellow fever, and the State Militia was called out to protect fhe railroad. PEAK is not in the habit of speaking truth. When perfect sincerity is ex pected, perfect freedom must be allow ed; nor has any one who is apt to le angry when he hears the truth, any cause to wonder that be does not hear it. Tacitus. Some Cogitation*. If all we have heard of the profligacy, general cussednes* and pitiful incompe tency of onr legislatures is true, we must conclude that representative government, as at present constituted, is a failure. Certain it is that many men are sent to legislative assemblies to make liws who are totally and abso lntely unfit. They not only take no interest in the work, but seem to be utterly lacking in judgment. The great problem is. how are we to im prove the caliber of onr representatives? In many cases they are in no sense rep resentatives. The members selected are often below the average intelli gence and morality of the community they represent. The remedy may be in higher salaries, which will induce the most talented to seek the office, or in no salary at all. which will prevent those who have no talents or fitness from seeking the office. Members of the English Parliament receive no sal aries and they seem to think it is better so. One of the most responsible as well as respectable officers we have is that of school director. As a rule the best men in the comunitv are willing to accept that office, and. generally speaking, they are men above the reach corrupt influences, such as school book agents sometimes resort to. The troub le about a non-salaried legislative of fice would be that only a wealthy man could afford to accept it and stand the expenses, and it might be that unscru pulous poor men would accept it and permit some corporation or trust or other interest to pav his expenses. To increase the salaries, too would have its objectionable features. Corrupt men would then spend more money to secure their election, and legislation would cost more without improving the quality. It is a hard problem, and resolves itself back to the old solution— the elevation of the general standard of intelligence and morality of the peo ple—Punxsutawney Spirit. FOR sometime past the women of the anthracite-coal region have entered actively into the task of forcing the workers out of the mi nes. A mob of two hundred of them visi ted a mine a few days ago and compelled a large number of the men to quit work and join the strikers. A mob in petti coats is undoubtedly the most embarrassing one to meet, for it can only be com batted in a passive way. A riotous mob of men can be actively attacked and dispersed, but a mob of women can only be resisted. At any rate, this is the way most men are inclined to look at the matter, and it is this feeling that rendered the action of the striking miners' women in Luzerne county of serious importance. Opening of Carnegie ltoa<l (Pittsburg Times of Friday.) | The Pittsburg, Bessemer ami Lake Erie railroad will be opened October 4, a week from next Monday, when an ore train will be Bent over the line from Butler to the Carnegie furnace* at Bes semer. There will be no formality abont putting the line in operation: it simply will lie put to thi- nsc* for which it was constructed at the earliest motji ent possible. Five hundred fwet of track was laid in the big tunnel at Unity yesterday, and the balance of the work is progressing so rapidly that it was possible to determine definitely the date of the opening of the road. Vice President J. T. Odell announces the appointment of Frank E. House as general superintendent in charge of the departementH of transportation, mach inery and maintenance of way, with offices in the Carnegie building. Pitts burg, and of John S. .Matson as superin tendent of transportation, with offices at Greenville, Pa.

Hoys and Matches, The village of Bainbridge, Ohio,had a $50,000, fire last Thursday and two citi zens were killed and several injured by an explosion, all caused by boys with matches. An entire square, containing most of the projui nen t busi pess houses, several handsome residences and the Methodist church, was entirely destroy ed. The fire was started in a barn in the rear of Perrill Brown's general store by two little IMIVS, who were playing with matches. The flamus spread rapidly and communicated with the main build ings. W. P. Beardsley's drug store ajoining. was next ablaze. With the limited means at hand for fighting fire, the flames passed all bonndsand became uncontrollable. In the midst of the excitment a terri ble explosion occurred in the drug store and Mr. Heardsley, who was ipside en deavoring to save some of his property, lost his life in the ruins His brother-in law. Thomas Higgins, who went to his rescue, was unable to get out and was burned to death, while several others were more or less injured, but none fatally. There was a stiff breeze blow ing which fanned the flames to greater fury, and, getting a fresh start from the burning oils and chemicals in the wrecked drug store, the fire le:ped from house to house until the entire town seemed doopicd. Constautine Buckley Kilgore, the "Texas Kicker", died at Ardmore I. T. on Sept. 2:!. mourned l»y his wife and children. It was he who gained fame by kicking in a door of the House of Representatives which Speaker Reed had ordered locked. Judge Kilgore was born in Georgia in ls:tO, moved to the Texas frontier, was Adjntaut General ill the Confedrate army. Texas state sena tor, representative in the Fiftieth and Fifty first congresses and was appointed one of the judges of Indian Territory by Pres. Cleveland. This is certainly the career of the rough and ready states man of the American frontier. V New I'lmsc at Mailritl The latest intimation by Associated Press concerning Minister Woodford's communication to the Duke of Tetuan is that unless Spain shall find means to end the struggle in Cuba, or to deprive lit of the revolting features, the United will sever its diplomatic relations and cease lo recognize Spain as a civilized nation. \\ hether this report is more accurate than the first rumors, or not, it represents an entirely probable and proper action njsm the pari of the Gov eminent at Washington. The effect of such a course will be readily nndersto.l. Filibustering would no longer Is- curlied by United States authorities. Spain will have to depend entirely upon her own resources to prevent the landing of men and mu nitions of war and that without the ad vantage of having diplomatic agents in this country to obtain information of the organization of expeditions. The result can hardly be a matter of doubt. Spain would be driven from Cuba in short order, with no recourse except to hasten her defeat by a mad declaration of war against this country- Dis patch Another Gold Country. A new Eldorado ha? been found in the state of Washington, near Mt. Baker A special correspondent of the Evening Times of Seattle sends word from Sum mas as follows ■ The gold discoveries in the rnonn tains of Watcom connty are beyond any doubt the richest in the annals of the Pacific coast or even in Alaska, So say the most experienced prospectors whom I have accompanied to the scene of th* recent fields. The recent find is in Bald mountain, situated in the northeast portion of Watcom connty. northeast of Mount Baker. The mineral range runs north west and southeast, and to-day is located for 30 miles. There is no telling how much further it extends. •The vein is in five claims—Lone Jack. Bennie, Sidney, Lulu and Whist —varies from three to five feet in thickness. It runs under a layer of porphyry ledge in a serpentine manner, and auriferous shale appears in the ledge. It is free milling quartz of sugar and rose color, carrying copper and silver The vein can be traced half a mile. The cropping is under solid porphyry. • The gold is known as 'wire gold and can l»e seen with the naked eye and picked out with the fingers. That great quantities of it exist there is no doubt. The formation of the range in which the find is located does not look to be very rich in minerals. If there is any placer mining it has not as yet been demonstrated to be a paying proposition." At Chilcoot pass, a few days ago, a landslide buried a miner's camp and eighteen men. It is reported that the pass is closed. l > ro>p('ct and \ iciuity.

Bollinger, who sells cream to manufacturers, likewise ice cream, skim milk and buttermilk to private custom ers, and has made a good thing of it, thus explains his method in The Rural New Yorker: The ice cream manufacturer always takes back what cream is not sold in case a great quantity is left over. He sells it to hotels and boarding house proprietors at a somewhat reduced price. They serve it to their boarders instead of pie or other pastry. But the real ob jections and drawbacks are that during the ice cream season tlie weather is va riable. A hot spejl, during which it seems impossible to get enough cream to supply the demand, i-i followed by a cool wave, when the cows set-in to make up for lost time, and one is puzzled to know what to do witli all the cream, as very little is used. While this was a great worry I practically mastered the obstacles in the following way: A rough icebox cf suitable dimensions to hold ten 20 gallon packing cans, with space for ice around them, was erected. As soon as 1 had more cream than was used daily the ten cans were packed in ice, in the sau e way i:i which ice cream is packed. The surplus cream was now evenly divided among the ten enns, and all the err;..n sold was taken from these cans. If t< n gallons were sold, one gal lon was taken from each can, and the fresh cream, as soon as skimnud, was evenly divided again among the ten cans. In this manner I kept cream sweet for ten days and over, thus tid ing me ovt r a cool spell; then, with a Jot of cream on hand and a daily sup ply added to it, a hot spell, that usually followed, had no terrors for me. Bat when freezing eld cream mixed with new one must be careful and start the freezer slowly and stop every few revo lutions at first until the cream is at the freezing point. If these precautions are not observed, one is more likely to get butter than ice-cream. To handle cream iu the above men tioned way, perfect cleanliness in milk ing and handling milk, and, above all, in washing cans and utensils, must be observed. We had a good sized box in which cans were washed first in cold water. Then wecoald turn a steam pipe from the boiler into the box and heat the water in a few minutes. Washing soda being added, with the help of a good root brush utensils were washed perfectly. After washing steam was turned into the cans uutil they were very hot, tbns securing the best results. Sometimes, however, a cool spell lasts unusually long, and we were obliged to phurn some of the oldest cream, but we Jiad a ready sale for all the butter we fnade. To get rid of buttermilk and skimmilk I started a wagon lettered as follows: "Sweet skimmilk and fresh buttermilk. Two quarts for 5 cents." This wagon was run at first on the streets where the employees of factories and shops lived. Instead of using tea or coffee with their dinners, ice cool, sweet skimmilk proved a healthful substitute. Often in hot weather bread and skim milk were relished by these working people and their children for supper. Pudding and custards were had oftener than when milk had to be bought at 6 cents per quart the regular milkman's price. It was but a short time before I bad a traele worked up that took all the milk I had, and often I did not have enough to go around. People on other streets soon left word for the wagon to pall there. Boarding houses and bake sbops soon became steady customers, and olie Laker gave me a standing order for ten gallons a day. He used it to mix up some bread dough, which he sold for cream bread, and had a big run on it. But this milk was not diluted with water, and as cream was tak' n from it by the cold, deep setting process a little more cream was left in it than the separator now leaves. Separator milk has very little butter fat remain ing iu it and consequently may not be quite so desirable us that from the creamer. Skimmilk, pure, fresh, sweet and al together clean, is a healthful and pleas ant drink. It should be honestly sold as such by milkmen at whatever rate will pay a moderate profit. The cheat and the dishonesty consist in selling skimmilk for something else. A trade in honest skimmilk might bo worked up in almost any town. The tjme has come when everything connected with the milk, cheese and butter business must be brought to an exact scientific system. Take cream selling. There are different grades of cream wanted. For ice cream making and some other purposes tho pure, heavy article is needed. City people who want cream to drink like it ratlie*r thin. Then to season fruits aud desserts and to put in coffee it is wanted medi um thick, • it so thick as for ice cream or so thin . that used to drink. A lit tle milk is mixed in to make the thin. Persona engaged iu cream selling must come together and establish a standard for the exact amount of richness want ed in different branches of tho trade. The staiidard is to be fixed by the amount of pure' butter fat in tho creuin, but let that amount be fixed and let all dealers aLic'n by it. Commercially there are three grades of cream, thick, medium and thin, graded according to the amount of pure butter fat in each. The price varies according to tho quality of creani. The peopleof Great Britain are great butter eaters. They like theirs mildly salted and not high colore If the creamery men of the United elates do not secure their share of this fine butter market, they will be wickedly negli gent, that's all. Lack of cleanliness is the cause of seven-eighths of all tfie bad butter, milk aud cheese upon the market. Selling crtai i at 60 cunt-i a gallon pays well enough, considering that you have the skiiuuiilk left.
