President Roosevelt has requested all the members of his Cabinet to remain in office until the end of his term, his words leaving no doubt of his candor in making the request. The chances are, however, I hat several of the secretaries will feel compelled to resign sooner or later—probably within the next four months. The Monon railroad suspended business for five minutes last Thursday out of respect for President McKinley. All trains on the road, no matter where they were, were ordered to stand still from two o’clock to two live, and all employes were ordered to cease working for five minutes. The order was general, and was observed over the entile road from Ohirago to Louisville.

Great Britain now says that modern America is preverting the original Monroe Doctrine. We don’t think so, but if it is, we are satisfied with the perversion. Anyway, we shan’t ask Great Britain to interpret it for us. The Chicago American is not running the brutal cartoons entitled “Willie and His Papa,” now. Still, some people buy the American and read it, after its vile teachings have led to the greatest crime of the century, Mr. and Mrs. S 0. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Overton. Mr. and Mrp. J. E. Francis and Miss Lois Robinson were called home from the American School of Osteopathy at Kirksville, Mo., by the serious illness of Thomas Robinson. It is often asserted that the civil war pension roll is still increasing, 36 years after the war This statement, though literally true, is most misleading. The increase in the roll is due to the placing thereon of the minor children of deceased soldiers, who while more numerous than their fathers, draw less in the aggregate. Of course, real Americans know perfectly well that the men who cartoon our presidents do not really believe what they assert, and consequently, are little moved by the scandalous pictures and insults that appear in the yellow journals. They forget, however, that the ignorant hordes from Europe do actually believe them and are always likely to be incited to murder thereby.

Claud Graves and Charles Brack* n, who have been working with a corps of surveyors on the east and west railroad, returned home Wednesday. Tne boys will return to work in about two weeks. They declare that all this talk about the road going up “Salt River” is the veritablest nonsense, and claim that the prospect for its being speedily pushed to a finish is as bright as a newly-coined silver dollur.— Morocco Courier.

Mr. Eldridge has been at Wabash college three times, and the president writes that he has had a full house and given an excellent entertainment* each time. The corn show in Long’s window indicates that the crop in Jasper county is far from being a failure. The prizes will be awarded when all the displays are in. Roosevelt is the youngest man ever chosen President, not yet being 44. The next youngest at his inauguration was Grant, who was 47, and the next was Cleveland, who was 48.

An officer of a fraternal accident Bociet-y illustrates the prompt methods of his society by the following statement: “One of our members lately fell from the roof of a five-story building, and a check was handed to him from the second story window on his way down.” The county commissioners and county council of Kosciusko comity are opposing the voting of sub Bidies to the proposed new Toledo and Chicago Transfer railway company, the former body by refusing to call elections and the latter body by refusing to appropriate money to cover election expenses. The Rev. Joseph Wildman, the N. B. minister tarred and feathered at Huntington last week for criticism of the life of the murdered president, William McKinley, has issued a card of retraction. At first he remained obstinate and maintained his utterances were intentional and correct. He now acknowledges his error and b ;gs the public’s pardon.

Last Thursday was observed as a day of mourning in memory of President McKinley. The public schools were closed in the forenoon and the business houses were closed from ten o’clock until noon.

The terminal of the Tippecanoe route is finally decided, and Keithberg, Illinois, on the banks of the Mississippi river, will be the farthest, western point. In talking to the surveyor, who arrived here last evening from Ligonier, it was learned that the corps will be divived in two gangs, of three men each, who will begin setting grade stakes next week.—Rochester Republican. It is said that the Monon people are negotiating to bu£ or lease the Evansville & Terre Haute for the Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville (Monon). The roads are not connected at present, but the building of twenty eight miles would do all that is necessary, and in case the Southern Indiana could be purchased cheap would save any building at all. At present the Evansville & Terre Haute forms the connecting link between the C. & E. I. and the Louisville & Nashville, and the former could not well afford to have that road fall into the hands of the Monon, which h; s little use for the line.

The brick street contractor is having difficulty in getting enough laborers to carry on the work and may have to import labor before the work is finished. It was found necessary to use considerable more stone oh the brick street to bring it up to grade. The inspector employed by the city seems to have considerable backbone and if the work is not done according to contract it will be through no fault of his. However, it seems that the work is being done in the right manner and that thq city will have a first class street.

COOKING IN STONEWARE.

A Demon.tra.tlon of the Merit, of Kitehen Pottery. A “bachelor housekeeper” who Is endeavoring to bring about the renaissance of kitchen pottery presents its claims after the following convincing fashion In Table Talk: A kitchen in which pottery appears in plenitude for the various kinds of its capable service wafts an odor of purity and fascinates with a sense of cleanliness. In numerous kinds of cookery it has no equal and in some there are dishes one might better abandon than attempt to prepare and serve without its aid. Many who are using iron, tin and copper to the exclusion of earthenware do so in ignorance of the perfect adaptability and service of the stone pot. For the simple forms of boiling, broiling and frying the metals are more convenient, but for baking, pot roasting, braising, stewing and fricasseeing it is far superior to all its rivals. Cooking in the stone pot simplifies the preparation of all the dishes that come under these heads, relieves the cook from close attention and constant stirring to defeat the Imperfect action of applied heat and performs its work with unfailing accuracy and without accident. It gives its best and almost exclusive service in the baking oven and under close cover. Few avail themselves of its reliable and easy use, and being, as I declare inyself, an experimenting and progressive housekeeper, I wish to recommend it to othere who are anxious to learn and know for themselves of Its unequaled merits. Any cook will with one demonstration understand perfectly its superior action under the influence of heat, and for such the details of preparation will be necessary in but one case. I shall therefore confine myself to a single recipe and formula. Procure a large earthen pot with a closely fitting cover of the same material. This may be found in almost any house furnishing store. Make the first attempt with the ordinary and familiar fricassee of disjointed chicken. After preparing, sprinkle each piece with salt and pepper and dredge with a little flour. Lay the pieces snugly in the pot, which has been rubbed with a little butter or melted suet. Pour in a pint or more of hot water, just enough to appear toward the surface of the chicken. Dredge the top again with flour, put on the cover and set in the oven. The oven should be very hot for the first 15 minutes, after which the heat should be reduced to the lowest degree that will keep the pot gently simmering. At the outset it may be necessary to examine the pot occasionally to acquaint oneself with the action of the oven’s heat, but when this is once ascertained the pot may be left undisturbed from the beginning till the dish is about done. Young chickens will require only two hours; older ones, three to four, more water and the slowest possible heat to bring them out tender. The chicken will be cooked to a point that the meat will easily come from the bone and yet may be served in as perfect form as when laid in the pot. It will have all the richness of a roast without the dryness that quite forbids the open oven baking of a chicken. It will have all the juiciness of the fricassee without any of the wateriness which one wishes to avoid. People say they do not like the preacher, when it is the truth he preaches which they dislike.—Ram’s Horn.
