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.

MUTINY ON WARSHIP
Officers Killed and Red Flag Floated
at Masthead
ODESSA IS HELD AT THEIR MERCY
Captain and All Officers Except Eighi
Compliant Ones on Board the Most
Powerful Battleship Left to the Czar
Are Murdered.in a Mutiny Growing
Out of Shooting of a Sailor Who
Presented Complaint Against Bad
Food.
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.

Suicide at Spa?anburg.
Spartanburg, Special.-Mr. A. 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.

accidental discharge of a pistol in the

Stanyarne.Wilson lies seriously wound
ded at his father's home. 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.

for the paper and pulp factory which
he has organized with a capital of
$100,000 has definitely decided upon
Bucksport, on the Waccamaw river,
and the plant will be erected and put
i-to operation at an early date.
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

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?

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. Porch furniture In
general-that is, where the establish
ment does not boast an army of serv
ants-should be waterproof material.
Bamboo ls excellent. Porch swings
of this wood are rapidly superseding
the old fashioned hammock, which al
ways had to be taken in when
showers came. The swings are
rather expensive, but they can b3
made at nome for very little, provided
some member of the household is
handy with tools." Waterproof cush
ions and rugs are now among porch
conveniences.-New York Evening

Marketiii?; I'otnto Cropg.
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

Odds and Ends.
John W. Hill, ex-chief engineer of

. 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
