PEOPLE OF THE DAY

. Noted Russian Statesman. Peter Arkadgevltch Stolypin was appointed premier of Russia just before the czar dissolved the douma. He was minister of the interior in the Goremykin cabinet and retains that post as premier. On taking office he announced his policy to be one of strong handed reform, but so far he has shown more

PETER A. STOLYPIN.

Btong hand than reform. Several prominent Liberals, among them Count Heyden, leader of the Constitutional Democrats in the douma, were Invited to Join Stolypin's cabinet and were ou the point of accepting when the outbreaks at Sveaborg, Cronstadt, Warsaw and elsewhere occurred, ‘t’he oppressive measures of the government .Which followed these outbreaks led to a complete rupture between Stolypin and the Liberals. One of the new premier’s earliest proclamations ordered provincial governors to “exile to the furthermost limits of the empire all enemies of society." M. Stolypin was born in 1803, the son of a popular general. After a brilliant university career he entered the ministry of the interior, being subsequently transferred to the agricultural department Retiring from public life for a time, he devoted himself to the successful management of his great estates. In 1899 he was made marshal of the provincial nobility. In 1901 he returned to the government service as governor of Saratov, where he mad* a good record as an administrator. One Traveler’s Criticism. The Hon. John Sharp Williams had an engagement to speak in a small southern town. The train .he was traveling on was not of the swiftest, and he.lost no opportunity of keeping the conductor informed as to his opinions of that particular road. ‘•Well, if yoti .don't like it," the conductor Anally blurted out, "why in thunder don’t yer git out an' Walk?” “I would," Mr. Williams blandly replied, "but you see the committee doesn't expect me until this train gets in.” • —L— Our Long Const Line. General Keifer was making u speech in the bouse urging a big navy, and be made the statement that the coast line of the United States. including our foreign possessions, is about 33,000 miles in length one and one-third times the circumference of the earth at the equator. "Great guns!” remarked Colonel Hepburn to a friend. “That positiveness is beautiful if Keifer only knew that it was true.” C'nmmanilii Hlk Fleet. Rear Admiral Robley I>. Evans will be in command of the naval forces iu Oyster bay In Septeinlier, when the liygest fleet ever assembled under aa American flag will pass in review before the-president of the United States.

West Virginia, Colorado and Maryland, sister ships and the finest armored cruisers afloat, will sail for Asiatic waters Immediately after the review, to be gone indefinitely. Besides the armored vessels, the president will see a vast number of unarmored ships, torpedo destroyers and torpedo boats. Secretary Bonaparte <and Admiral Dewey will act aa reviewing officers with the president. The Dolphin will probably be the president's boat

FOR THE HOUSEWIFE

Paste Far Paper Han*ln*. To make paper hanger’s paste beat up four pounds of good whit# wheat flour (well sifted previously) in sufficient cold water to form a stiff batter. Beat It well in order to take out all lamps and then add enough cold water to make the mixture of the consistency of pudding batter. To this add about two ounces of well pounded alum. Pour gently and quickly over the batter boiling water, stirring rapidly at the same time, and when It Is seen to lose the white color of the flour It is cooked and ready. Do not use it, however, while hot, but allow it to cool. Pour about a pint of cold water over the top to prevent a sfein from forming. Before using, the paste should lie thinned by the addition of cold water. Blderberrjr Wine. Allow to each quart of berries, stripped from their stems, a quart of water and boll for half an hour, stirring and mashing to streak the skins. Strain and to each gallon of juice allow three pounds of granulated sugar and a quarter of an ounce of cream of tartar; cook half an hour. Put into a cask or large demijohn, raisins (a pound to every three gallons of the wine) and a slice of toasted bread cut Into pieces and spread with good yeast. When the wine is cool put into the cask and place in a room of even temperature to ferment; when that has entirely ceased rack off and bottle. Leftovers of Ham. Leftovers of ham are delicious minced and scalloped with green peppers. Wash and remove the seeds from the peppers and cut them into pieces. Put a layer of the meat in the bottom of a buttered baking dish, then a layer of the peppers and a sprinkling of breadcrumbs, dabs of butter and hot water to moisten. Continue In this way until the dish is full; cover the top with buttered breadcrumbs and bake. Improved Coat Hanger. The usefulness of coat hangers is being recognized at last, which naturally has caused an Increased demand. A great many of those now in use far from fill their purpose, being merely straight pieces of wire, the ends of which support the corners of the coat only, allowing the balance to sag and crease. Such a thing could not well happen with the one Illustrated here. It Is made to conform to the shape of the garment, contacting at all points, so that the coat can be sua-

PREVENTS CREASING.

pended for a long time without creasing. it is made in two parts,' the wire rod supporting the whole hanger being connected directly with the book by which it is hung iu position in the closet. Coiled around the inner rod is a colled frame, the outline of which Is made to conform so the shape of ,tbe shoulders find neck of\the coat. The position the hangers assume when sup-' porting a coat is shown very clearly in the illustration. Its advantages will be at once apparent, it can also be folded up and readily carried In a bag or grip. Household Notes. Flour cannot be too cold for pastry or for cakes. When boiling tlsh always allow sufficient water to cover It. Wood may be hardened by boiling ten minutes in olive oil. Add two tablespoons of vinegar to every gallon of water In which fish is boiled. For bread flour should be warm enough to favor the growth of the yeast plant. In the Sickroom. , Keep bottles as far (is possible out of sight. Never leave medicine, drink or food uncovered iu the sickroom. Have the bed a foot or two from the wall. Plenty of ventilation, but no air directly blowing on the patient. Everything fresh and clean, with the purest of soap and plenty of warm water. Grease Stains. One of the best preparations for taking out grease stains is made by a mixture of one pint of deodorized benzine, one-half dram each of chloroform and alcohol, and a few drops of cologne. Apply to the coat or garment with a piece of silk. In washing solid black goods use one tablespoonful in each gallon of water. It will not injure the most delicate silk fabric. Re nova tin* Velvet. To clean velvet, first brush or shake out all of the dust and remove any grease stains with benzine. If It needs freshening pass the wrong side first over a bowl of boiling water and then over a hot iron. If it is badly crushed brush carefully with a soft brush. a* *

The SPORTING WORLD

Believes In Collins. President Bari Johnson of the American league his long' looked for visit to Boston recently and was in conference most of the afternoon both with General Charles H. Taylor, the 1 owner of the Boston club, and with Manager Collins. He said that every effort would be made to get the Boston club out of its present dilemma. "I have in Collins,” he said, “and l! think that no manager is

JIMMY COLLINS.

better able to get the work out of his men than he, but he has been more severely handicapped than comes to the lot of most managers, and I sympathize with him most decidedly. I think that things will come around all right by and by. "There is no friction at all between Collins and the owner of the club. Collins left the team because he was discouraged. With some of the cripples back in the game Boston can be depended upon to make as good a battle as any of the other teams.” Ebbetta’ Declaration. Cdmmenting on the offer of $15,000 for Lumley and 'Jordan made by Manager McCloskey of the St. Louis Cardinals, President Ebbetts of the Brooklyn Nationals says: “McCloskey has no chance to get Lumley and Jordan at any price, and he knows it. He has made a bad break in letting Taylor and Shannon go, is doubtless being roasted good and plenty by St. Louis fans and is making a bluff with this offer, which I refused to stand for. “He might as well have offered to buy the‘whole Brooklyn team for all his blqff is worth. McCloskey has made a mistake in his deal with Chicago and New York and Is employing a cheap method to cover up the blunder. "Ho is simply trying to square himself with the St. Louis public by a grand stand play. As soon as I can communicate with Manager Donovan I will get back at McCloskey by making an offer to the St. Louts club for two of its best men. if two gd6d men can be found In that aggregation. It has been badly weakened by the blunders of McCloskey, and I refuse to have him cover up his own shortcomings by trying to cause dissatisfaction among our players.” Sella Louisville Stock. It developed recently that George Tebeau, owner of the baseball franchises of Louisville and Kansas City in the American association, and Denver in the Western league, has disposed of a block of stock of the Louisville club to ten business men of the city. These men are all ardent supporters of the team, and the effect will be to popularize the Colonels. Just how* much stock was sold is not known, but it is certain that the control of the club s(ill rests with George Tebeau. The Louisville club has always been a money maker, and this has been a banner year and the stock was disposed of at par value. . —A A Motorins; Hint. ■''•Robbing Peter to pay Paul" always has been conceded to be poor policy, but there are times on the road when a motorist has his choice between doing something of the sort or walking. It is possible to remove a bolt or nut from some place where it serves a not very important purpose and to use it to replace one in some vital part. This sort of makeshift is one that requires judgment, however. Sir Thomas LiptonIn response to an invitation to visit Milwaukee during the summer, - Sir Thomas Lipton has cabled that he will be unable to come over. This would indicate that Sir Thomas will not start the Shamrock in the king's cup race of the New York Yacht club at Newport, R. I. Get* Clnb Franchise. The Lowell (Mass.) franchise in the New England league has been purchased by Second Baseman Alexander Winn. The new owner reports that Wltherup of the Boston Nationals has been signed, also an American league pitcher, and Burns, an Inflelder of Indianapolis. Hnwhey Jenalava After New Men. Manager Jennings of Baltimore has two deals under way which are expected to strengthen the Orioles. He is negotiating for Pitcher McCarthy of Toronto in exchange for one of the present Oriole staff, and he is also looking for a new shortstop. . , J. Releasee Homer Smoot. The St. Louis National club has traded Outfielder Homer Smoot to Clnclnnatl for First Baseman Jack Barry. It has also purchased Pitcher Rhodes from the Parsons (Kan.) club.

L. & N. NOT BEHIND C. I. & E. ROAD

Vice-President Carter, of Latter, So States; But Roads flay Work Together. Indalnapolla News: John B. Carter, vice president of the Chicago. Indianapolis & Evansville Bai I road Company, and president of the Carter Conatraction Company, which is supposed to build the proposed road, denied Saturday that there ia any connection between the 0., I.lj. and the Louisville & Nashville, which according to report, is planning to build a road from Owensboro, Ky. through Indianapolis to Chicago, following a route almost identical with that outlined by the C. I’. & ,E. - Because of the points of similarity ip the plans of the two companies, it had been rumored in railroad circles that the C. I. & E.. which obtained a franchise recently in Indianapolis, was a subsidiary company of the L. & N, This is denied emphatically by Mr. Carter. Report has it that the L. & N. has about completed arrangements for crossing the Chio river about a mile below Owensboro and building to Chicago, inasmuch as the Chicago <fc Eastern Illinois has severed its traffic agreements with the L. & N , thereby cutting off the latter road from connection with Chicago- , Mr. Carter says he does not think that the L. & N. contemplates building north of the Ohio river. He says that his road has considered making traffic agreements with the L. &• N. whereby the C., I. & E. might use the L. & N. station and terminals at Louisville and establish through connection to New Orleans, and that, so far as he knows, such arrangements may yet be made. This would be impossible if the L. &N. contemplated building a line of its own from Evansville to Chicago. From this it is thought that the tacit traffic agreements made by the L. &N. with the C. I, & E. gave rise first to the report that the L. & N. was to build to Chicago and then that the two roads were one and the same. -’3 Inasmuch, however, as the New York Central has arranged with the L. &N. for the Big Four to use the L. & N. terminals and station at Evansville after the extension of the Big Four from Mt. Cnrmel to Evansville is completed, it is doubted if the C. I. & E. will now be able to make arrangements with the L. & N. for the use of the same terminals. The New York Central would probably object, inasmuch as it will be able to handle the L. & N. from the South to Chicago after the new extension is completed. Norisit likely that the L. & N. would desire to make traffic arrangements with two Chicago lines. Mr. Carter says he is not worrying about the situation, and feels, he says, that satisfactoryfconnections for points in the South can be made when the time comes for suoh connections to be desirable.

INDIANA HORSE SHOW.

Chief Event of Year Will Be at State Fair. The chief horse show to bo held in Indiana this year will be tjiat given tot the State Fair, Horse shows have developed into the feature of the year in many Indiana county seats. In scores of the towns this summer events of' the kind were given, and it seems that the winners of ribbons in these local contests have developed in ambition and will daring the week of September 10 undertake to win the royal purple ribbons which the State Fair management will award. The prizes for the show horses will amount to over $2,300 and of thia amount $352 ia to go to the standard bred. There will be contests for gentlemen’s pairs, four in hands and high steppers, and the best equipages. The awards offered for coach pairs and roadsters amount to S3OO. There will nofbe a more interesting feature of the horde show than that of the contest among saddlers, in which many men and women owners will participate, and in which the prizes amount to S3OO. The champion horse of the State Fair will receive SSO and a decorative rosette that will be an ornament to the finest bridle that hangs in an Indiana stable. The pony classes are also expected to be well filled, the total awards offered for those animals being $505.

REMEDY FOR HAY FEVER.

. ' - ~-. t.i After Trying Other Treatments, Mr. Forbes Used Hyomei With Perfect Success. s Before the discovery of Hyomei the only advice a physican could give to hay fever patients was to go away from home; but now if Hyomei is used any one who is subject to this disease can stay at home without fear of the annual attack of sneezing, the watery eyes and other discomforts. Mr. J. F. Forbes, a well-known western railroad man of McCook, Neb., writes: “I never had any relief from any hay fever remedy even temporarily until I discovered the merits of Hyomei. I always recommend it when occasion presents.” There is no offensive or dangerous stomach dosing when Hyomei is used. This reliable remedy for the cure of all diseases of the respiratory organs is breathed through a neat pocket inhaler that comes in every outfit, so that the air breathed into the throat and lungs is like that of the White Mountains and other health resorts where hay fever is unknown The fact that B. F. Fendig agrees to refund the money to his hay fever customers if it fails to relieve, should inspire confidence in every sufferer. A complete outfit costs only SI,OO, extra bodies 50c.

FIGHTING INSECTS.

801 l Preparation Is a Very Important Means Open to AU. Soil preparation is one of the legitimate ways of fighting insects. There is not a reputable stockman in the country who does not understand the worthlessness of a stunted pig, calf, colt or lamb, and who is not aware of the necessity of keeping a young animal in a vigorous, growing condition from its birth. If this is essential with animals it is equally so with cultivated plants. It is the stunted or starved plant that is more often the prey of insects, though it cannot ba said that this holds good in all cases. However, a field of young grain in a healthy growing condition will sustain without material injury an attack that a less vigorous one would not. So far as plants are concerned, it matters little whether a soil is lacking in fertility or whether this fertility is present and beyond reach. There is sufficient nutriment in a healthy seed to enable it to throw a shoot upward to light and air and rootlets downward to draw from the soil. But suppose these rootlets go about among solid clods begging, as it were, for food. Stunted plants are no more profitable than stunted animals. A Comparison. Take two fields of equal fertility of soil. One is plowed a considerable time before seeding and is harrowed and worked oKer until a thoroughly pulverized, compact seed bed is formed. Seed placed in this ground will begin to draw from it as soon as the rootlets enter it, and the plant above ground will be full of vigor. If the first shoot is destroyed by the Hessian fly the result is only to stimulate the throwing up of tillers, and the soil will sustain them. Grain sown late in such a field will soon get sufficient root growth to enable the tillers to withstand the winter. * Now, take a second field Indifferently plowed and the surface smoothed over by a single harrowing that has only rattled a little loose soli down into the spaces between the clods. A rootlet starts out to feed the plant, but goes begging. The single shoot thrown up Is destroyed by the Hessian fly, and the root is unable to find food enough among the clods to sustain tillers, so fio tillers are up, and the crop is seriously injured by what in the other case resulted rather beneficially than otherwise.—D. A. Brodie. Snsaeatlona For Culverts. Where flat stones are at hand the best culvert that can be made is shown in Fig. 1. It is often necessary, however, to bridge a stream across which a single flat stone will not reach. The plan shown In Fig. 2 can then be used to advantage. ’'This Is really
