A Danish butter maker has discovered a pew preservative v. hi h 1 said to excel everything In that line heretofore known. Ry means of this pp-partition it is possible to preserve butter, meats and all kinds of perishable mer handie. Experiments show that butter, for instance, can le preserved, melted and cooled off again without losing any of its freshness. It can also be placed among goods that fire decomposing or contain rank odors without being affected.

The plants that have been partly abandoned will also be started up as soon ns they can be got ready, among them the old ' Salisbury factory, the works at Scottdale, the plant at Piqua. O., and another at Hyde Park, Pa. Sheet workers are said to be scarce and with these additional plants In operation there will be a big demand for men.

DETAILS OF TRdLLUY LINE MAGNATE'S CHEAP FARE SCHEME. Hope to Cover the Knut vlth Electric Itallvrayi Wnnti to Tunnel a Pnrt of Xmt York. NEW YORK, April 5. The World prints additional details regarding the Incorporation at Trenton. N. J., of the Philadelphia, Trenton & New York Railroad Company. Says the World: "Albert L. Johnson, the trolley magnate, has taken formal steps toward realizing his great project of building and operating an electric road between this city and Philadelphia. The terminus at this end of the line will be on Staten island, unless he gets through his project of building a tunnel from the City Hall under the East river to Rrooklyn, through the latter borough and under the narrows. The Philadelphia, Trenton & New York Railroad Company has been capitalized at $3uo.Da), but this is regarded as only a beginning. The Johnson syndicate already owns the trolley line running between Princeton and Trenton and also the upper Delaware river bridge. The latter was acquired when the syndicate recently got control of the New Jersey Street-railway Company. The lines of the Trenton-Princeton road will be extended within a few weeks to New Rrunswlck and from that point to the Staten island terminal, over a right of way which has already been obtained by the Johnson syndicate. "It Is the purpose of Mr. Johnson to charge a fiO-cent fare between this city and Philadelphia, which Is a small fraction of that charged by the steam railroads. He intends to compete with the latter not only in passenger trattlc, but in the hauling of freight. He already has in operation a vast system of trolley lines running out from Philadelphia which connect about sixty towns in the Lehigh valley, and he declares he will extend this system until he gets It into the heart of the. coal-mining district of Pennsylvania. Part of Johnson's plan to get a tunnel road from Staten island to the City Hall is his offer to carry passengers from Manhattan to Rrooklyn or Richmond boroughs for a 3-cent fare." ALLEGED MIRACLE. Nine Days of Prayer Said to Have Cured a Sun of Cnneer. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 5. Sister Iaura Kuhn, of St. Joseph's Convent, has apparently been cured of cancer, after eighteen years of suffering, at a time when she was apparently at the point of death from the malady. The seeming miracle which. It is claimed, was performed occurred on St. Joseph's day, March 18, the feast of the saint after whom the order was named. It came at the end of nine days' prayer for the recovery of the nun. participated In by ail the sisters of the convent. She felt no relief from the sore, which affected her stomach, until the ninth day, when she awoke from sleep with the exclamation: "I feel no pain." The bandages which covered the cancer were removed ami no sore remained, only a white scar. Since then Sister Kuhn has been doing her routine duties, and docs not suffer from the cancer. Although the wonder was worked several days ago, the sister made no attempt to blazen the supposed miracle to the world, and It only leaked out from the closed walls of the convent by degrees.

For the first time in the history of the country the government will adopt a lottery system in the distribution of the 11.000 quarter sections in these two reservations, which will be thrown open to settlement Aug. 6. "The great demand for homesteads in the Southwest renders the opening of the reservations in the' usual way impracticable, and in the last hours of the Fifty-sixth Congress the secretary of the interior and the President were authorized to elevise some more suitable method for the distribution of the public lands In Oklahoma to homestead settlers than the ordinary plan of making a 'run,' since it is apparent that there will be at least five applicants for every quarter section of land to be distributed. "In his report Commissioner Hermann will recommend against a 'run' for the land, and will advocate a system of drawing. He will suggest that the drawing occur before the President's proclamation is issued, and that the papers of the successful applicants shall be filled In and filed at the land offices before the applicant actually takes possession of his land. The President's order directing the opening of the country would in this case include a provision entitling only, those who have made their drawings to admission to the Territory. The method suggested for the drawing is this: Every quarter section on the reservations will be numbered, and a map made showing the sections. This map will be hung in the office of the register when the drawing- occurs. The applications received will be opened, the paiers carefully removed, examined to see that they are correct, and replaced in another envelope, which will be sealed. When all the applications have been placed in blank envelopes they will be put In a large cylinder, which will almlt of a thorough mixing as It revolves. After every three revolutions one application will be withdrawn by an employe, who will be blindfolded. The application will be opened and the name announced. The first quarter section located In the northwestern portion of Section 1, the extreme northwestern section of the reservation, will be assigned to the first successful applicant. It will be entered on live separate sheets kept by as many clerks in the of!iee An entrv will also be made on the map showing the name of the settler. In this way there will be six records of the drawing, which will preclude the possibility of fraud. Then the drawings for the quarter sections will follow In regular order through all the se-ctlons from northwest to southeast." MOTHER BURNS HER BABE.

Va., April S.-Held in a fire by its mother until its head was literally burned away and its body a mass of charred flesh, the year-old child of Mrs. Morris met an awful death to-day.
