An impression seems to have gained some cre­
dence that Mr Frank 8. Moore, of Little Mis­
souri, was implicated in the late difficulty be­
tween-tbe
Marquis de Mores and some hunters
at that point. This is a mistake. Mr. Frank 8.
Moore had nothing whatever to do with the af­
fair, and -Dick
Moore
who is mentioned in
connection with the affray is not a relative, nor
ia not in any way connected with the gentleman
mentioned
Lieut.

regretted by all. Mr. Wright is highly spoken
of by his associates of the service and he will
find thecapital city a pleasant home.
The real estate firm of Call & Norton have
dissolved partnership, the business to be con­
tinued by Mr. Call. The latter gentleman is
well known as one of the leading real estate
men in the northwest, and by his genial^ man­
ner and business ability he will maintain the
high reputation of the firm and add to his al­
ready extensive operations as the city grows.
Be will also canyon a large insurance business,
bf ing connected with the best companies in the
United States.
The Minneapolis News, which is one of the
handsomest papers published in the northwest,
tells why its typograpical appearance is so neat.
It says: "The type, furniture, etc., of the Daily
News office was purchased of Marder, Luse &
Co., at their northwestern branch, 14 and 16
Second street south, Minneapolis. It is first
clsas in every respect and of best pattern as all
may pee. By dealing with them and receiving
this large order within a few days, we are ena­
bled to recommend them to all desiring printing
material. They carry a complete stock of
presses, type, furniture and supplies, and can
fit out a complete office in two to three days."
One Hundred Persons Drowned.
LONDON, 3 p. m.—July 3.—Intelligence has
just reached here of a terrible calamity during
the launching of the steamer Daphne at Glas­
gow today. While being launched she fell over
on her side and precipated a large number of
jpeople into the water. According to the dis­
patches thus far reoeived sixty persons were
drowned.
IATEB-—3:30 P. M.
Furthor particulars of the calamity at Glas­
gow state that the Daphne, which was constructed
for coast trading, is a vessel of five hundred
tons burden. Two hundred workmen werj on
board when she capsized. The accident occur­
red in the middle of the river Clyde after
launching. It is not exactly known how many
persons were drowned but it is feared the num­
ber will reach over one hundred.
STILL LATER.
A later diapatoh from Glasgow says that the
Daphne capsized near Renfrew, five miles from
Glasgow. Traffic in the Clyde is suspended
owing to the interruption to navigation by the
capsized steamer.
The Daphne left the ways at a very fast rate
and when she gained the water she rolled from
side to Bide. The persons on board, fearing she
would capsize, ran to and fro. The vessel
finally reeled over and nearly disappeared be­
neath the water. Those who maintained a po­
sition on that portion of the steamer not sub­
merged did their utmost to save those who
were in the water. At the same time a boat
heavily manned pulled to assist in the work
of rescuing the unfortunate people and suc­
ceeded in saving a number. It is known, how­
ever, that there were fifty persons below in the
Daphne when the vessel capsized.
A Ravisher Hoped and Beheaded.
ST. Louis, July fc2.—The Bowling Green
Times extra says: Bill McDowell, the negro who
ravished Miss Kate Dwyer, adopted daughter of
Chas. Murray, near Louisiana, Mo., last Monday
was forcibly taken from jail at Bowling Green
yesterday by a mob of seventy-five to one hun­
dred masked men from {Louisiana and viciuity
and hanged to a tree. Subsequently the body
was taken to Lonsiana where it was again hung
up' and photographed and then taken down and
its head cut off. McDowell confessed the crime
and one or two other acts of the same character
in different places and said lie had-served a
term in prison.
PABIS July 2.—The relapse of Count Cham
bord is due to the bursting of an intestinal tu­
mor. Clarion says the case of the count is not
quite hopeless News of the count's illness
caused great excitement in Paris yesterday.
Many persons presumed he was actually dead.
The monarchists assembled this morning to
consider their course'in the event of the death
of Chambord. A consultation of physicians waa
to be held at Trohrsdorff, tbe count's residence,
and if there was any hope a telegram was to be
sent to Paris. As no news has been received np
to noon the worst is feared.

wardly from the city of Boseburg, Oregon.
AUBURN, N. Y., July 2.—Abram Coppernall, a
former of the town of Victory, was shot threa
times with a large navy revolver {.yesterday by
Lew French, a young farm laborer. It is sus­
pected an intimacy with Coppernall's wife is
the cause of the trouble. The wife was present
and ordered French to fire. Both are under ar­
rest. The victim will die. all three shots tak­
ing effect in the body.
RICHMOND, Va.,: July 2.—Information this
morning from lieutenant governor Lewis' resi­
dence in Rockingham county where Mr. Elam
was taken after being wounded, is that the
wound is much more aggravated than first re­
ported, and that Elam's condition is critical.
The ball struck near the right hip, passed in­
ward and downward through the body and
lodged in his left thigh passing in its course
very near the bladder. The ball was extracted
last evening.

Jiold Hints--Miss

JHahes
for Convalescents.
New York Tribune.
"Food for the Sick" was {he topic of the Tues­
day afternoon talk, and Scotch broth was the
first dish made. Miss Parloa said this was ex­
cellent for convalescents, being appetizing
and nutritious. Among the ingredients was a
two-pound piece of the scraggy p^rt of a neck
of mutton. This particular cnt was employed
because the muscles of a sheep's neck are in
Bueh constant use as to make that part of the
animal better flavored and more nutritions
than those parts through which the blood has
run leas freely. Miss Parloa cut the meat
from the bones and removed all the fat She
cnt the meat into small pieces and put it into
a soup-kettle, together with two slices of
carrot, a slice of turnip, a stalk of
celery and an onion—all cnt fine, half a cupfu*
of barley and three pints of water and the
broth was allowed to simmer gently for two
hours. The bones, with a pint of water added»
also were allowed the same amount of time
for simmering, and the liquor was strained
into a soup kettle.. A tablespoonful each of
butter and flour were cooked together until
perfectly smooth, and then stirred into the
broth after which salt and pepper and a tea
spoonful of chopped parsley were added.
The audience was cautioned against rapid
cooking as a high tomperature hardens the
fibres of the meat, whereas a slovf bubbling
renders the meat tender and secures a better
flavor for the broth. The vegetables should
be cut very fine. Mutton is so nutritious and
so easily digested as to deserve much attention
as a food during convalescence. If it be prop­
erly cooked the peculiar flavor that is disagree­
able to some people is concealed, though the
meat remains palatable.
Mutton broth, which was recommended for
patients whose food must be light, was next
made. A pound of meat like that used for the
Scotch broth was freed of fat and cut into
small pieces and was put into a saucepan con­
taining a quart of cola water. When this water
had become heated to theEboiing point it was
carefully skimmed. A tablespoonful of barley
was added, and the broth was simmered slowly
for two hours.
For an oyster stew the liquor was drained
from.half a pint of oysters and allowed to heat
to the' boiling point, when it was skimmed. In
the meantime, half a pint of milk was heated
to the boiling point in the double boiler. Into
it were Btirred a teaspoonfnl of butter, the
of salt to give the stew a
prov
good flavor, and the oysters. The dish was
boiled up at once and served immediately.
Miss Parloa cautioned her hearers against
over-cooking oysters at any time. She then
selected a number of large ones, drained them,
seasoned them with salt and nepper, dipped
them in melted butter and dredged them with
flour. She broiled them over a quick fire until
the edges curled, and served them on buttered
toast.
Cream toast was next made. Half a cupful
of cream was heated to the boiling point, and
seasoned with salt In the meantime two
slices of bread were nicely browned. They
were dipped in the cream and placed on a dish,
and the remaining cream was poured over
them.
Jb or cracker gruel, a scant half pint of boil­
ing water was poured upon four tablespoon
fms of powdered cracker, and, after half a
pint of milk and half a teaspoonfnl of salt had
been added, the mixture was Btirred until it
had boiled up once.
Last of all, egg nog was made. The white of
an egg w£ts beaten to a stiff froth next a
tablespoonful of sugar was beaten in then the
yolk of the egg, and finally a tablespoonful
sach of milk, water and* wine.
Before closing, Miss Parloa said that when
using milk in dishes for the sick the diseases
of the persons who are to consume the food
should be considered. Long boiling hardens
the albumen and makes the milk constipating,
hence, if the patient bo already constipated,
great care should be exercised hot to allow the
milk or cream to heat above the boiling point
Miss Parloa said also that one could, not use
seasonings for a sick person that would suit a
well person. More salt and acid can and
should be used in most cases when seasoning
food for the sick, while less sugar or other
flavor should be used. Advice was also given
aot to send a too bountiful supply of food to the
patient, and not to set any one dish bei re him
frequently just because it has tasted especially
good at first. Miss Parloa emphasized the desir­
ability of serving all dishes in the daintiest and
most attractive ways, so as to induce an appe­
tite which may be dormant
Brains in Housekeeping./:
Wide Awake.
Another convenience at Aunt Jane's is the
two dustpans and the chamber broom hung in
the back entry upstairs. You know when one
has been cutting out work in her room there
will be litter, or when the boys are not careful
to use the door-mat, they will leave traces of
mud on the carpet, and what a trouble it is to
rundown stairs after broom and dustnan*
Aunt Jane said she never could afford to carry
her one hundred and forty pounds of
weight lip and down stairs every time
a room needed extra sweeping, when
a new broom cost thi^jy-five cents and second
dustpan ten. While she was about it, she
would have a dust-bin too, and if you lift the
cover of that large box in brown linen and red
trimming in the corner of the passage upstairs,
you will find it an old tin cracker-box, to re­
ceive sweepings from the bedrooms. They are
all swept thoroughly once a week of course,
but between whiles all transient sweepings go
into this box, which is emptied at convenience.
Aunt Jane counts that this second broom and
pan which cost 45 cents in all, have saved her
going up and down stairs at least five times
a week for the last five years, or thir­
teen hundred times, and allowing that interest
on the first investment might make the price
of her broom and things 75 cents 1 cent fare
saves her from going up and down seventeen
times, and she considers it cheap. I know a
family who went without a new dustpan ten
years after they needed it, and made the old
one do, because they never felt they could
afford to pay half a dollar—country price—just
for a convenience. But the mistress said when
she had to get anew one finally, and thought
of all the backaches and vexations about
sweeping up she might have saved by getting
it before, sne felt too big a fool to stay the
fmrtily.
The boys' bed stands in a corner of their
room, away from the windows, and inconven­
ient to reach for making. You b»ow how un­
wholesome it is for any one whoieps at the
back of abed in Buch position, where no
fresh air reaches it Yet how tiresome it is to
pull the bedstead out every night, and push it
out of the way in the morning, the room being
too small to allow its standing out The. cast­
ers are too small. Get a larger size or broad
wooden wheels, and you can push the bedstead
back and forth easier than you can move a,
chair. The boys can pull it out at night into
the bestair in tneroom, and shove it back to
give them room for dressing. You can move
it about as you like to tuck in the clothes when
making the bed, and leave it out to air when ho
one is in the room a touch will nut it in place
any time, and the broad tires will not wear the
carpet like small iron ones. It is a trifle to
see that the furniture in a house has easy cast­
ers but the difference in ease of moving and
keeping it neat will surprise' you. It's the,
principle of having two tea-kettles oyer again
—that comforts are always cheap.
Women's Inventions,
A patent office man says women's inventions
ran chiefly to providing
for
emergencies. Aa,
for instance, a skirt lined with India rubber
tubes which may be blown up as a life pre­
server at sea, and prevent injury from fajMng
on the slippery sidewalk or
padding
the starts
of dresses wih av rubber apron, which yrw
prevent the dress from nlinging too closely to
the limbs on a windy day.
Canpiw With the Baby.
Chicago Tribune.
"Bourgeois" sends from Denver a bit of
fisherman's painting of life at Pine Grove, on
the South Park railroad. In it occurs the fol­
lowing tender piece of wood-sketching: "It
was determined that baby and I should tend
camp for half an hour so that afternoon while
the three natural guardians wandered off to
the adjacent hillside to gather mid flowers
wherewith to deck the tear-table. This was no
new business to us. The yonng man, with a
pillow at his back, seated in this middle of a
blanket, rubbing bis face with a teaspoon I
lying prone three fast away, with my toes
beating an occasional- tattoo on the
soft sward, my chin in my hands
and briar-root between my teeith, watching
him. There was a bright light in his eyes, anc
his cheeks were rosy, soft aB velvet, yet firm
and cooL What is there like the
touch of a baby's cheek pressed
against your own? You must turn and
kiss it, just as you did its mother the first timo
you had aright to. But is there anything more
rediculous in life than to see a baby attempt to
put a spoon into its mouth before it has got
the knack of it See him hit himself in the
eye with it, pretty much as a drunken mc,n
would knock a fly off his nose smear in down
his face, with his month wide open and turned
np like a young robin's, but it misses the place
on the way down he takes it with both chubby
fists, looks at it with dignified surprise, as
though for the first time aware of its presence,
lets go one hand, whacks the spoon against one
ear, and drags it across his cheek
with the same result But- per­
sistence is characeristic of this baby,
a quiet determination that has something
appalling about it If there were any rasp-"
berry jam on that spoon his facei would 1'ok
worse than a railroad map of the state of New
York. Finally, and as it would seem after all
more by accident than design, the spoon
reaches the right place he twists it round to
the distortion of nis rosebud mouth then he
looks at me, see's me laughing the fun seems
to dawn upon him he takes the spoon out of
his mouth, pounds the blanket with it, and
smiles back at me, and the
Bmile
resolves
itself into a well-defined laugh. The sun has
just disappeared behind the range, but there is
a mellow ray of golden light that lingers about
the baby's head that makes me think—think of
the one so like him, and from the base of the
hill, with her handB full of flowers, the tallest
of the three starts toward me, and! remember
only the sunshine of the long path."
Women on the Poliee Foree.
W. W. Gill in Sunday at Home.
Queen Makea, of Razotouga, South Pacific,
indignant at the extent to which intoxicating
liquors were being introduced and sold, one
day called together her people and said: "You
constables were directed to put down drink.
You have winked at it In truth you are no
use whatever except to eat on feast days and to
share fines! lama woman. Let the staid
middle-aged women of this village be enrolled
as a police force. Perhaps they will have some
regard for my word." This novel plan (of her
own devising) has'been tried for some months,
and so far succeeds remarkably well. Nothing
escapes the eyes of these women constables.
About fifty Orange River barrels have been
given up and destroyed. Most of these barrels
had pet names.. The fact is, the drunkards are
in great consternation several of them have
turned over anew leaf.
So Fond of Dress and Parade.
Some horrid man said recently: "Women
are so frivolous, so fond of dress, parade and
show that they would make of goyerment an
everlasting spectacular drama." "Possibly,"f
retorts Mrs. Livermore, "but I cannot remem­
ber to hare sees women walking delightedly
for a few hours in a torchlight procession,
through muddy streets, amid the thundering
of cannon, the flash of rockets and the blazo
of colored lights. I think I have never,seen
them parading by daylight clad in bits of ab­
breviated aprons, ornamented at the shoulders
in what Beemed to be exaggerated horse collars,
their heads supporting ah infinite amount
of fuss and feathers, and their padded coats
over their swelling bosoms nearly bursting
with delight as they caught admiriug glances
from the other sex from the balconies and at
chamber windows.
Teaching a I'ive-Year-Old.
Philadelphia Item.
Every child should be taught to write a letter
to be able to frame a little note of thanks, ac­
ceptance or invitation, as soon as it can print
There
is a deplorable lack of intelligence, as
well as education, in a person who "does no*
know what to say" When occasion requires a
letter to be written. A 5-year-old" darling re
ceived an invitation to another darling's birth­
day party, the other day, and the wise mamma
made the little thing print her own acceptance,
and very quaint and pretty it was, too. Such
scrawly, misspelt words as they were, but any­
body would have understood their purport,
and
the
child could not have had a better les­
son in her kindergarten.
Small Fruits.
The Rocky Mountain Rural says six goose­
berry
bushes
wilfproduce six gallons of fruit
six currant bushes will produce twenty quarts
six blackbei "y bushes will produce twenty-five
quarts six raspberry bushes will produce ten
quarts six grape vines will produce 120
pounds of fruit and six rows of strawberries,
twenty-six feet long, will produce $16 worth of
fruit, and that these fruits will create a 16
karat appetite, and your wife a six-inch smile.
There is no farm but what there is room for
these, and scarcely a full-sized lot in town but
could furnish room for most of them. One
hour per day would keep these fruit beds in
good order, and the exercise would make life
longer, healthier and happier.
An Absorbent of Foul Air.
The Sanitarian recommends for the purifi­
cation of
the air in the sick room to "place in
the bed a small basket or other porous article^
containing wood charcoal for the purpose of
absorbing the foul air, which, if diffused
thrqughout the surrounding atmosphere, would
be constantly returned to the lungs and cause
the patient to die of auto infection. 2. Ia a
sick-room in which infants are sleeping, it is
necessary to pat a box or basket containing
quick lime and some -wood charcoal, for the
purpose of fixing the carbonic acid exhaled

Sweeping Carpers.
"F C. S." in The Continent
I send a few hints which I have long used,
but never seen in print In sweeping'carpets,
use wet newspaper wrung nearly dry and torn
into pieces. The paper collects the dust, but
does not soil ^the carpet A carpet, particu­
larly a dark carpet, often looks dusty when it
does
not need sweeping wring out a sponge
quite dry in water (a few drops of ammonia
helps brighten the color) and wipe off the dust
from the carpet Thirsaves much labor in
sweeping.
Hot Water for Headache..
Good Cheer.
Congestive or nervous headacho is often
greatly relieved by bathing the head with,
water as hot as can be borne, and the appli en
tion will seldom have to be repeated more than
once before the patient will fall into a refresh­
ing sleep. Bathing the head and eyes itith
bay rum is also cooling and quieting.

A BSD FOE DTOENDIABIStf.
Che Fear with Which Percussion
Matches' Were First Regarded--
Charles Sumner's Advice.
Springfield Republican.
"Did I ever tell you what Charles Sumner
once said to me about the manufacture of
matches?" queried Lucius C. Allin, the veteran
armory foreman. "It was about fifty years
ago now, when I was in doubt whether it
would pay to go into the business, and aisked
Mr. Sumner what he thought about it. He
turned around, quick as a flash, and
said, 'Mr. Allin, how many pins do
you suppose are made in a year?' 1
thought there must be a good many
millions. 'And how many times,' he con­
tinued, 'is a pin used?' 'PerhapB twenty on
an average,' I replied. Then at least twenty
times as many matches will be needed as pins,
and
of course it will pay.' Now, did even
Charles Sumner ever size up anything neater
than that? I made matches several years and,
not onlv that, but I invented them. It waa
away back in the thirties, when I was a boy.
I was always fooling with the ingredients,
brimstone and the like, till finally I struck an
idea. Then I went to work and made a few
matches, rather crude, of course, and showed
them to a few friends, but they didn't think it
would amount to anyth ing, and Ididn't either,
at first, so I minded nothing about it till 1834,
I think it was, when a friend persuaded mo to
apply for a patent. It was quite a trip to
Washington in those days, but in a few weeks
I got word that a Chicopee man had filed a
aimilnv
ap licatioa a short time before
mine arrived. I was satisfied that I
could get the patent by fighting for
it, but I didn't think then that it
would pay, and so I made an arrangement
with the Chicopec man, by which I was to offer
no opposition to lus getting the patent, but
could have the privilege of manufacturing
matches on my own hook. He got the patent
and I went into the business. I had quite an
establishment on Walnut street, hiring about
thirty hands, mostly girls, and kept at it till
•37, the time of the great panic. The Chicopee
man was a druftken peddler, and he went to
Boston on a spree and gambled the pat­
ent away to men who have made their
fortunes ,out of it I sold matches all
through the country, but there was a good
deal of opposition to their manufacture. The
papers said it was a bid for incendiarism and
many shop
keepers wouldn't sell them. The
railroad had got as far as Worcester then, but
they wouldn't carry matches and I had'to hire
men to drive clear through to Boston. There
were some other matches in the market that
would crack like a pistol when you lit them,
and when we put some in a box and set them
afire it sounded like a small cannonade. But
my matches were like what we have now and
wepe the first ever made that I know of.*
Not a Bothschild's Game.
Some darkeys started a faro bank in a Ken­
tucky town a short time ago, and no man was
allowed to bet over"ten cents at a time. A man
from Allen county was in to see what he could
see, and in his rambles he came upon the
darkey
faro bank. He pulled out a $5 bill,
bought its worth in chips and put them on the
jack. The dealer was too busy, and at first
did not see the big pile of chips and com
menced dealing. Ho all at onco looked up,
saw Allen county's pile and inquired:
"Who's dat got such a pile ou dat jack?
The Allen county man, not knowing the rules
of the game, very sternly remarked, "That

The dealer gazed at hiqi for a moment ana
