v How to Cock Catfish. '{(Francis W. Maher in July Outing.) ; Most lovers of Catfish like it fried : in. corn meal and boiling l?rd, with adjuncts of corn bread and boiling [coffee, but stuffed and baked, a la red fish, the meat has hardly a superior among fresh-water fish. Sliced and -broiled, with a basting of butter, black pepper and' salt, and served with egg 'sauce, it is simply delicious; or if ; one's good, taste runs to court bouillon or stew, it is equally good. Catch a few and try them, and see if this opinion is not correct. IS Women Obtain Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Help. ? She Has Guided Thousands to Health. . ^ How Lydia E.

Odessa, By Cable.-The red flag of revolution is at the masthead of the Kniaz Potemkine, Russia's most pow erful battleship in the Black Sea, which now lies in the harbor in the hands of mutineers. The captain and most of the officers were murdered and thrown overboard in the open sea and the snip is com pletely in the possession ot the crew and a few officers who have thrown in their lot with the mutineers. The guns of the Kniaz Potomkine command the city, and in the streets masses of striking workmen, who Wed nesday fled before the volleys of the troops, are now inflamed by the spec tacle of open revolt on board an im perial warship and are making a bold front against the military. All day long firing has been heard in many quarters of the city. A num ber of barricades have been erected, and tumult and disorder reign. EXPECT A CIVIL SEA FIGHT. The main squadron of the Black Sea fleet, consisting of the battleships Geor gei Pobiedonosetz (George the Victo? rious), Tri Sviatitelia .Rostivlav and Ekaterina II, with two cruisers, are expected to arrive here and a regular naval battle is in prospect. The rioters are in a most defiant mood and are not inclined to surren der without'fighting! Reports of the mutiny which occur red while the battleship was at sea, are difficult to obtain, as the mutineers refuse to allow communication with the shore; but it is ascertained that it arose from the shooting of a sailor who was presenting, in behalf of the crew, a complaint against bad food. According to one version, this sailor, whose name was Omiltchuk; objected to the quality of the "borchth," or soup, ani was immediately shot down by a mess officer. BEGINNING OF MUTINY. The crew then rose and seized the ship and officers, eight of whom were spared on the condition that they would join the mutineers. The others were killed and their bodies thrown ^overboard. After a period of vacillaT tion. the Kniaz Potemkine headed for Odessa and arrived here last Wednes day night, accompanied by two torpedo boats. Early Thursday the body of ! Omiltchuk was brought ashore in one of the battleships boats, and was land ed on the new mole, where it was ex posed in semi-state all day. It was visited by thousands of persons, many of whom placed coins in the basket at the head of the body towards a fund to defray th<* cost of the funeral which the sailors propose to hold and which the strikers will make the occa sion of a great demonstration. An inscription on the breast of the dean" sailor states on behalf of the crew that Omiltchuk died for the truth be cause he presented a just complaint of the crew. AUTHORITIES POWERLESS. The authorities have made no at tempt to remove the body, the sailors having served notice that the ship would open fire on any one seeking to interfere with it. A police agent vis iting the spot was killed by the strik ers. During the day a red flag was hoist ed on the Kniaz Potemkine, and mem bers of the crew rode from ship to ship in the harbor, forcing the stop page of all work thereon. Food was supplied them by sympathizers on the shore who pillaged the maritime store houses. Tried for Taking Bribe.

Bon ham Martin committed suicide Wed nesday morning by drowning himself in a little spring branch in a valley between North. Dean and North Con verse streets. He Avas found with his face forced downward into seven inch es of water. There was not the slight est clue to indicate that the end of the unfortunate man was other than self planned, and no inquest was held over his remains. Mr. Martin was 54 years of age and his wife and four children survive him. He was a native of the county, and lived at Martinsville. He had been in failing health for some time, and for the past four weeks had been in the city for treatment His rash act is attributed to melancholia and despondency occasioned by bad health. When found he was lying in the branch in his night clothes. The deceased boarded on North Dean street, and this morning when a ser vant went to call and see what the pa tient wanted, he discovered that there was no one in the room. A search was at once instituted, which resulted in the finding of the dead man. The deceased left no note or message. The body was carried to Martinsville, the home of the deceased, for burial.

It seems that at a late hour Wednesday night a party of young men were at the Ross pool room which was in charge of Smith. When the hour for closing ar rived, Smith drew his pistol from a show case and unbreeched it to see whether or not it was loaded. He then breeched it with a snap and the weapon was discharged, the bullet plowing along Smith's left thumb and forefinger and striking Mr. Little in the abdomen just below the ribs on the left side. He was at once removed to his home and several physicians were summon ed. The full extent of his injuries are not yet known, but it is believed that neither the bowels or bladder are punc tured, which, if true, makes the cnan ces of his recovery better. Papar Pulp Factory.

The capacity of the mill will be about 40,000 pounds of pulp per day, to be increased shortly to 100,000 pounds per day and will employ approximately I 150 hands. The Richardson Cypress I Lumber and Shingle Company is lo cated at Bucksport and the owners of this plant has been mainly instrumen tal in securing the pulp plant for Bucksport where it will be in such close proximity to the boundless quantities of the raw material.

Chickens Flew Through Plate Glass. Frightened by the ringing of the village school bell, two prairie chick ens that had taken refuge in the tow er flew out as straight and swift as an arrow to the opposite side of the street, where the leading bird'with great velocity hit a heavy plate-glaBS store window and, going through lt like a bullet through a target, dropped dead on the floor, at a distance of twenty feet from the window, says a Wolsey, S. D., dispatch. The chicken went through the glass with sufficient force to cut a hole six Inches in diameter. Its companion struck the side of the hole, making it larger and falling inside with the shattered pieces of glass. The second prairie chicken appar ently was not badly injured, for it swiftly recovered itself and escaped through the hole which lt had en? tered. For the Summer Coiittage. The willow porch and cottage fur niture Is unusually attractive this year. Not only are the designs pleas ing, but the colors are excellent and in the greatest variety. Sealing-wax red enamel is one of the favorites this season. A set of these red chairs with a round table to match would be charming for tea on the lawn. Huge red lawn umbrellas are also to be had. No other color makes such a good appearance out of doors. The combination of bright red, the green of the grass and the varying tones of the shrubbery and flower beds is most delightful.

In linc with the classic case of the oyster shippers, cited by President Hartley of Yale University in his book on Railroad Transportation, is the case of the Aroostook potato growers brought by President Tuttle of the Boston & Maine Railroad before the Senate Committee on Interstate Com merce. Nothing could better show how a railroad works for the interest of the localities which it serves. A main dependence of the farmers of the Aroostook region is the potato crop, aggregating annually eight to ten million bushels which find a mar ket largely in Boston and the adjacent thickly settled regions of New Eng land. The competition of eheap/wttter transportation from Maine tojtrtTpoints along the New England"coast keeps railroad freight rates, on these pota toes always at a "very low level. Tota toes are also a considerable out put of the truck farms of Michigan, their normal market being obtained in and through Detroit and Chicago and other communities of that region. Not many years ago favoring sun and rains brought a tremendous yield of potatoes from the Michigan fields. At. normal rates and prices there would have been a glut of the customary mar kets and the potatoes would have rot ted on thc farms. To help tbe potato growers the railroads from Michigan made unprecedentedly low rates on potatoes to every reachable market, even carrying them in large quantities to a place so remote as Boston. The Aroostook growers had to reduce the price on their potatoes and even then could not dispose of them unless the Boston & Maine Railroad reduced its already low rate, which it did. By tu "is of these low rates, making pos sie low prices, the potato crops of both Michigan aud Maine were finally marketed. Everybody cats potatoes, and that year everybody had all the potatoes he wanted. While the Michigan railroads made rates that would have been ruiuous to the railroads, had they been applied to the movement of all potatoes at al. times, to all places, they helped their patrons to find markets for them. The Boston & Maiue Railroad suffered a de crease in its revenue from potatoes, but it enabled the Aroostook farmers to market their crop and thereby to obtain money which they spent for the varied supplies which the rail roads brought to them. If the making of rates were subject to Governmental adjustment such radical and prompt action could never have been taken, because it is well established that if a rate be once reduced by a railroad company it cannot be restored through the red tape of Governmental proced ure. If the Michigan railroads and the Boston & Maine Railroad had been subjected to Governmental limitation they would have felt obliged to keep up their rates as do the railroads of j France and England and Germany uu der Governmental Jimitation and let the Dotatoes rot-Exchange. Odds and Ends. John W.

McNichol & Co., was re voked. Chairman Marton accepted the res ignation of James Hazen Hydeetad ignation of James W. Alexander as President and of James Hazen Hyde I as first vice-president of the Eqult I llflg LJXfi Assurance Society , . Profits of the Packers. There has been a great deal of dis appointment because the Garfield re port shows that the profits of the pack ing industry only amount to about two per cent, on the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, how ever, that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by the Government in 1900, before the agita tion regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this ques tion. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of 871 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per ce- :. on the vol ume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third ap large, or a little more than two per cent, on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combina tions would seem impossible in a busi ness where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively "for the flour trade, but lt ap pears that the gross profits of the mill ers arc larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing Indus try will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: ,V?11 squeal and no wool." A nice thing about marrying money is everybody envies you so much more than you do yourself. "Whyf Why, when buying a book, are we in fluenced by the author's name? Why by an artist's if we purchase a picture? Why do wise buyers insist upon having a reliable name on nearly everything they purchase? Jt is because the name attached is the safeguard ot the buyer - a protection against the palming oil of inferior articles. This "name guarantee" we all look for in the moat important things we buy, and what can be mere important than our food? .Everybody knows that all intelligent housekeepers ore very particular about the buying ot things to eat nnd drink, and no body realizes it more than the up-to-date grocer, who caters to the wants of his cus tomers. For instance, every real grocer know? the reason for the universal popularity of LION COFFEE, the leader ot all package coffees. He knows that its uniform purity and high quality have made it welcome in millions of American homes for over a quarter of a century. Realizing this he cannot but hand it out cheerfully when asked for it. He knows that the people accept the package as a guarantee of the contents. Yet there may be a few groceru left who. do not recognize that the buyer-not the seller-bas the right of choice, and they may want "to sell their loose coffee (who knows what it is, or where it came from?) instead of LION COFFEE, which, the cus tomer asks for, and the merits of which both know. In such caaes the visest advice ia: "Change your dealer." It's queer how a woman will believe everything in a historical novel and doubt an encyclopedia. FITSpermanently cured.
