THE WASHINGTON LETTER,
It is announced that Ambassador
Choate will sail for this conntry
next Saturday to remain until next
Janunry. Between this country
nnd Great Britain two great ques
tions re pending, nntnety, the
treaty nninndatory of tlio Clnyton
Bulwer treaty relative to tlio con
struction of nn isthmian cnnnl, nnd
settlement of the Alaskan boundary
problem. President. Roosevelt will
insist upon n settlement satisfactory
to the American people and in no
way can lie bettor reach such nn ad
justment thnn by learning the ar
guments ndvnnced by British states
men in support of their contentions
from tlio American ambassador.
The war department has made
public the annual report of Briga
dier General George M. Randall,
commanding the department of
Alaska. General Randall says the
most important work of the depart
ment after providing for the hous
ing and supply of troops was that of
constructing the military telegraph
line and military road through
Alaska. Up to August 15 about
400 miles of lino had been con
structed. Owing to the isolation of
army posts and the lack of facilities
for instruction in drill, General
Randall says troops left to serve
there for sevoral years must deter
iorate in military efficiency. Ho,
therefore recommends that troops
stationed in Alaska bo relieved
every two years and that only men
with more thnn two years to serve
be ordored there.
Wednesday, the 9th of October,
Rear Admiral Schley retired from
the active list of the navy by nge
limit. This took place while the
court of inquiry was in session.
His retirement promotes two cup
tains to be rear admirals.
The exclusion act which now pre
vents tho Chinese from coming into
the United States will soon expire.
Minister Wu Ting Fang and his
brother-in-law, Ho Yow, the
Chinese consul general at San Fran
cisco, nre working to prevent, the
re-enaotment of that law by con
gross. It is said tho Chinese Six
Companies, which control the busi
uess affairs of the Chinese in the
United Stntes, have levied an as
sessment of $3 a head on all China
men in this country for use in in
fluencing public opinion against the
re-enactment of tho law and for
work in Washington to the samo
end. The Pacific coast people are
already showing a great deal of
anxiety over the matter and a big
convention is soon to be held in San
Francisco to memorialize congress
on the subject. The Paciflo coast
people want the law made more
stringent on account of the faot thnt
a great many Chinese now find their
way into the Uuited States. A large
number have come across from
Mexico and also from Canada. This
shows that if the exclusion act is
not renewed the Chinese will flock
to the United States in immense
numbers and there will be another
race problem more difficult to settle
than the negro question in tho
south.
Early in the morring of Septem
ber 29 the Ninth Regiment station
ed at Samar, P. I., was attacked by
about 450 bolomen. The attack wns
a complete surprise and in the fight
which ensued three officers and
forty enlisted men were killed. The
strength of the company was 3
officers and 72 men.
It lias been announced that the
President and Mr9. Roos6Velt will
not desire even semi-social inter
course with their personal friends
until thirty days after the date of
interment of President McKiuley.
Meantime no gatherings or dinners
of a social nature will take place
within the family of the president
After October 19 the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt will begin to enter
tain small gatherings, but there
will be no apiearauce of a state
banquet until January 6, when the
iiimiitmrs of the cabinet will be
guests of honor.
Mrs. itoosevolt will receive on
three Saturdays in December , the
14th, 21st and 28th, all ladies who
desire to puy their resjiects without
formality or cards. This will be a
revival of ladies' day at the White
House.
The attendance at Grace Reform,
ed church has greatly increased
sinoo President Roosevelt became a
member. The members of the con.
greirution are contemplating tlio
building of a new edifice at a cost of
about l.)0,000. A large part of the
sum has already btxm subscribed.
HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

helpful to their perplexed sisters
send any seasonable suggestions
only stipulating that any recipes
furnished shall have been tried and

Value of Potatoes as Food.
The proliflo yield, good koeping
qualities and pleasant flavor of the
potato have long made it a popular
article of food. Potatoes are class
ed as starch food and it is chiefly
on this account that potatoes are
eaten. Being starch the potato is
valuable as a source of muscular en
ergy, but only in a small degree
does it serve to build or repair the
body tissue. For this reason pota
toes are gonernlly sorved with
foods rich in tissue-mnking proper
ties, as meats, etc. The country
people of Ireland and Germany who
live largely on potatoes are thus so
poorly nourished. Eaten alone po
tatoes torm a very badlv balanced
diet. Potatoes which have been
stored a long timo and have begun
to sprout should not be eaten, as
they aro apt to contain an undue
amount of solanin or poisonous sub
stance. There have been numerous
cases of poisoning from this cause.
The Drinking of Pur Water,
Occasionally people are met who
sny they never drink, a statement
which wo are apt to regard as an
exaggeration ; but as a general
statement this is true. There are
people who never drink, in the
sense that they never use a cup or
glass, nnd thoro are a largo nnmbcr
of peoplo who certainly drink very
little. These peoplo nre healthy, do
good work, "nnd often with far
greater comfort thnn the person
who is constantly drinking. This
relates to pure wnter, which is not
geuerally considered harmful. To
the majority, drinking is to a large
extent a matter of habit and self-indulgence,
with the result that much
more fluid is taken than is wanted,
and leads to flabbincss and discom
fort. In considering the amount of fluid
one ought to drink one must bear
in mind the quantity of wnter con
tained in our ordinary food. Ac
cording to good authorities we may
take it that we require for ordinary
work about three times as much
water as of food, while if we look at
a table in which the amount of
water in various kinds of food is
given we find ninny articles carry
with them more than the ordinary
proportion. If, however, we par
take of fluid in moderation, say 40
or SO ounces a day, we aro tho bet
ter for it.

FR03PIROU3 FARMERS.
Thry are Getting Their Full Share
of the Good Times.
Testimony given through the De
troit Free I're from one of the larg
est savings banks In Detroit that the
farmers of the tributary country are
making exceptionally large deposits
and appear to be contended with the
way the world Is using them is in
the nature of cumulative evidence.
Like rcort8 come from almost every
part of the country and they carry
the greater weight because of an ac
cepted tradition thnt the farmer Is
never satisfied. The charge may be
false and the suggestion of the present
situation is thnt the promoters of ag
ricultural Interest have been slander
ed, but the explanation is In the ex
ceptional degree of prosperity. The
weather conditions of the season
have not been all that could be asked,
and If there be anything In the world
that can throw the average farmer
into the tantrums it is the weather.
There was a wall over the prospect
for corn and wheat, but we have a
surplus of these commodities to ship.
Only a few weeks ago there was a
doleful announcement that there
would not be enough potatoes to go
around, but the later crop proved a
good one, providing plenty and to
spare. It was held as a and certain '
that the drouth would produce a
fruit famine, yet tens of thousands
of bushels of It have gone to waste In
the orchards, lieen fed to the hogs
and given away. The country wns
to wriggle along without enough to
matoes to appease Its appetite, but
the supply exceeds the demand. As
a positive fact there was not to be
enough grain to fatten stock for the
market, but nothing Is called for In
the meat line thnt is not provided
without regard to size of the orders.
And the farmer is getting all the
best of these false scares. He Is re
ceiving top-notch prices for every
thing he has to sell. In some' lines
the trusts are helping him because it
is their Interest to maintain good
prices for commodities obtained
through him. Incidental to helping
themselves the speculators help him
In other lines, and the danger with
the farmer In this mortgago-rnislng
epoch Is that he will become arrayed
against the mighty army of consum
ers who are really providing the
sinews of all this prosperity. They
are paying more for the privilege of
living than they would have to pay
were there no manipulation of the
law of supply and demand. There Is
an nrtinclal audition to the actual
worth of nearly everything entering
into household supplies. But no di
rect blame attaches to the farmer and
the fact that he is proserous to con
tentment Is a source of satisfaction
to the rest of the country.
Capture of Mies Stone.
The missionaries of the American
board of Boston located in Turkey
and on the borders of Turkey have
been exposed to numerous perils
duriug the last few years. Tho
women missionaries are no excep
tions. In the mountains of Turkey
are brigands whose business is to
rob and to take prisoners and hold
them for ransom. One of their
latest victims Is Miss Ellen Stone, a
Congregationalist missionary. She
and a companion were seized be
tween lianake and Djoumaoia and
are now being held for a ransom of
$110,000. An effort is being made
to raise this sum by popular sub
scriptions. Over sixty thousand
dollars has already been contributed
and it is believed the entire ransom
can be raised within a week.

The swiftness with which the
assassin of President MoKinley has
been tried, convicted and sentenced,
as well as the dignity and impartial
ity with which the trial was con
ducted, gives new respect for the
law and for the methods of courts
of justice. On Sept. 8 the crime
was committed, the president died
on Sept. 14, the assassin was con
victed on Sept. 25 and on the 27th
was sentenced to suffer the extreme
penalty of the law during the week
beginning Oct. 28. The trial of
CzolgosZ is contrasted with that of
Gultoau which dragged along for
nearly three months. Guiteau was
executed one year lacking two days
after the commission of his crime
while Czolgosz will die within two
mouths after McKiuley was shot.

Hahuishiiho, Pa
Oct. 3, 1901.
J. H. Van Ettf.n,
Dear Sir : Your letter duly re
coived and my nuswer has born tie
laj ed by the desire upon my pai t
to thoroughly investigate tho sub
ject before attempting a reply. 1
now rnr nv owner or holder of cop.
ital stock in a corporation or associ
atlon in this8tato is not a rani estate
ownor because of such holding.
There is a long lino of decisions to
tho effect that enpitnl stock is per
8onnl proimrty for all purposes in
this state ; the holder, then, of such
stock in a corporation or association
for sporting purposes would not be
oxeinpt from the payment of the
ten dollars imposed by the recent
act of our legislature requiring
"non resident hunters, the same
not. being owners of real estate in
this stato, to pa a tax before hunt
ing in this commonwealth." This
office also holds that the son of a
farmer of this state, snid son having
removed his residence to another
state, may not return to this state
and hunt gamo upon his own fath
er's property, nnd which will be his
by inheritance : this upon the
ground that the game of the state
belongs to the state at, lnrge, and not
to any particular class, evon though
that class may own the real estate
upon which said game may be
found, nnd that being so owned the
land owner can grant no privileges,
whatever, contrary to the general
laws of the state. Visitors, there
fore, to the club houses in your sec
tion can acquire no rights by grant
from said bodies. Respectfully
yours, Joseph Kalbfus,
Secretary of the Game Commission.
Where Women Vote.
Miss Minnie J. Reynolds of Den
ver, Colorado, one of the speakers
at the National Suffrage conference
recently hold in connection with the
Pan-American exposition, gave a
careful survey of the results of
women snffr.igein her state. Among
other things she suid :
"Before women were enfranchised
in Colorado there was no discussion
of politics at home. It was all
downtown. Nowadays the woman's
club and the bosom of the family
are the chief arenas for political dis
oussion. Sometimes our good
friends and allies, the anti-suffragists,
talk as if that priceless thing,
woman's indirect influence, was to
be lost when she received the bollot.
It is not lost at all. It is all there ;
only it is exerted in a new direction.
It isn't so much the things women
do themselves as the things they
make their men folks do, that tells
in Colorado.
"The oorrnpt politician in Colo
rado does not like woman suffrage,
the idea of these women sitting at
home and discussing these things.
He can't influence them, he can't
bribe them, he can't get at them to
talk to them. He can fool them for
a time, but he can't do it perma
nently. He has to cover up his
dirty work a little closer ; he has to
push it under cover ; he has to take
more care about it ; it bothers him
more. When the tickets are made
up there is another element to con
sider, and along with the Irish vote
and the colored vote and the saloon
vote, politiciins who wish to win
have to consider the woman vote
also."

Game Suppers the Fashion Here.
The law abiding citizens of Mil
ford have been sorely tempted in
the last few days by having quail
and pheasant enter their homes
through open doors and windows,
either seeking protection or like the
buck of Blooming Grove fame that
walked up to the hnnter, who was
so paralyzed when confronted with
the opportunity to shoot big game
that he forgot to pnll the trigger of
his gun. The buck seeing his dilem
ma politely refrained from escaping
and requested that he be shot, only
stipulating that the most approved
painless method be nsod to render
the operation perfectly safe and the
sensation pleasant. So these guile
less quail entered our homes but
like the fly of Mother Goose lore,
the invitation to enter the parlor
was enticing, but who enters onco
shall ne'er come forth again.

Caroline Cameron has seen and
talked with Israel W. Durham id
David Martin on the political out
look for 1901 and will present in next
Sunday's Press a remarkably inter

Mr. Durham, In particular, has gone
in more or less detail concerning the
needs of organization, and his views
will not only be instructive to
those jiersons who have had no ex
perience in the field of politics, but
will be decidedly interesting to those
who have felt, from long experience,
that they knew all about the work
that is necesoary to roll up majori
ties. If you have not already order
