Fred Ennis and John McQuig, and Sentry William Treet, of Company M, Twenty-first infantry, who wfis guard-’ ing them, have disappeared from Fort Sheridan and no trace of the missing men has been found. Searching parties sent out in every direction have scoured the woods and ravines, but have failed to secure a clew. Whether the guard has deserte 1 with his prisoners, or whether the sentry was overpowered by his charges and lies in some deserted spot gagged and bound, or perhaps murdered, is a matter for conjecture, although the trustworthiness of the soldier is ground for the belief that an encoun ter occurred. PARIS RELIGIOUS RIOTS. Many Persons Injured and Hundreds of Arrests Made. Paris, July 28.—Many persons in jured. ten of them seriously and hun dreds arrested, are the net results of the street disturbances yesterday in which both clerical and autl-cTerical demonstrations brought about by the closing of unauthorized religious schools, were made.

His Attempted Suicide c rustrated, but He Dies From Shock. Wilmington. N. C., July 31.—Ma jor Abraham Weill, for 25 years solic iting agent of the Atlantic Coast Line, and one of the oldest and most promi nent Jewish citizens of Wilmington, is dead as a result of his attempt to commit suicide yesterday aiternoon by jumping into the Cape Fear river. The great shock, coupled with his ex treme age, overcame his physical strength and he expired without hav- ing fully regained consciousness alter his tragic attempt. The causes leading up to his de plorable act are unknown to his clos est friends. He had been in ill-health for a few weeks, and the past day or two seemed blue and depressed. With, out a word of warning to anybody ho deliberately walked into the river yes terday, and by quick action a man standing on the dock at the time res cued him, but against the strong pro test of the would-be suicide. Major Weill was 71 years old. He was born in Germany, hut came here early in life. He served in the con federate army. Since tTie war he has been prominent in the business inter ests of the city. MURDERER ASKS FOR DEATH. Strangest Case Ever Tried In a Vir- ginia Court. Norfolk, Va., July 31.—Convicted by a jury in the Norfolk county court of murdering his wife, William Tread well will not sanction the application of his counsel for a new trial. He declares that he purchased the pistol with which he kiTied his wife with the intention of killing himself as well and that the law would as well take his life. He therefore de sires that no new trial be requested, and that sentence upon him be executed aa soon as possible. The man appears to have no desire to live whatever. The case is one of the strongest ever tried in a Virginia court. It is a fact that after shoot ing his wife the man turned the pistol* upon himself and was weeks recover ing from the wounds. BALL PIERCED PORTER’S HEART. Conductor Kills Negro Accidentally in Row on Train. Grenville, N. C., July 31.—Conduc tor Tuck Hamner, of Alexandria, ac cidentally killed his porter, Henry D.

SOLNAVE WINS VICTORY. Defeats Troops Under General Nord and Is Marching on Cape Haitien. Capitulation of Grande Riviera Is Expected—Juneau's Army Repulsed. Cape Haitien, Haiti, July 28.—Gen eral Albert Salnave entered Limba yesterday evening and this morning be was within 9 miles of this city after having defeated tne troops under Gen eral Nord, the minister of war of the piovisional government. The capitu. laLon of Grande Riviere is expected, and Cape Haitien p.ol hly will be at tacked this evening or tomorrow morn ing. Foreigners are without protec tion and are in danger. 'Hie gun boat Machias, which was oi !red to proceed from Colon to this p >”t, has not yet arrived. Much regret ex pressed that no foreign power is repre sented here by a warship at such a critical moment. A dispatch from Cape Haitien on July 24 announced that an army from the department of Artibonite, in sym pathy with M. Firmin, was marthing on Cape Haitien from three sides. The three divisions were under command of Generals Albert Salnave, Emil Gar- pard and Thesse Mcnfiston. It was feared at that time that the gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot would land troops in support of M. Firmin near Cape Hai tien. The United States gunboat Machi. s sailed from Colon for Cape Haitien on July 23. Jumeau’s Army Repulsed. Port-au-Prince, Haiti, July 28.—The army under General Jean Jumeau, who supports the candidacy of M. Firmin for the presidency of Haiti, has been repulsed by troops under command of General Saim-Foix Colin. The gun boat Crete-a-Pierrot prevented a pur suit of the Jumeau forces, and General Colin's troops returned to Port-au- Prince. FAILED FOR $500,000. Cummings & Stockbridge, of New York, Make Assignment. New York, July 28.—The firm of Gumming & Stockbridge, export and import commission merchants at 11 Broadway, assigned today. The lia bilities of the firm are given as in ex cess of $50(1,000, but the assets will not be known until an examination of the books is made. It is thought they will nearly or quite equal the liabili ties. A statement issued by attorneys for the firm says the suspension was im mediately occasioned by the maturing ol a number of acceptances aggregat ing a considerable amount, drawn up on the house by B. Duran, of Havana, whose suspension was announced in Havana last Friday. Until definite advices from Havana are received it will be impossible to (J * 11 entirely accurate statement ol the uTfairs of Cumming & Stockbridge. Advertising is some an art. If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the emplc .*r sells goods side by side with his clerics it is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.

Some Valuable Suggestions and How to Get Satisfactory Results. No Need of Having Dyspepsia. Most physicians, especially in tha northern United States, say that fried food Is responsible for most of the dys- | pepsia, especially in the south, where j frying is most prevalent. This is no doubt true, in a broad and ; average way, but it is not necessary I that it should be true. Too much grease j of any kind, and in any way, is cer tainly bad for the digestion; but the I conclusion must not be too hastily : reached that fried food is necessarily greasy. Grease for cooking should be | looked upon merely as as a medium for | communicating a high degree of heat. It is not usually possible to cook things ! in water”to a higher temperature than j 212 degrees, and hence in many cases j it is necessary to cook meats, etc., a j long while at this temperature to get : them done. But it is easily possible to | cook things equally well done in grease in a much shorter time, on account of the higher temperature that may be reached—sometimes 300 to 400 degrees. The true way to cook in grease is to get it very hot before introducing the meat or other article. When it is dropped in the higher degree of heat immediately chars the outer surface and closes the pores, so that the grease cannot get inside. It is important to keep the heat up, and not to put the articles into the grease so fast as to lower the temperatuiv. , When done, they should be immediately removed and laid on a cloth to absorb the ad hering grease. Many cooks take a frying pan off the fire with the eggs or meat in it. all cooked, and leave it so until served. This is the next best way to let the grease soak through to the centre. The very best way to soak the grease in, and the very best way to promote dyspepsia is to put the ar ticles in the frying pan to cook when the grease is not hot enough. Frying is generally a most wasteful manner of cooking, fqr the reason that so much of the grease is thrown away after the article is cooked. This is gen erally unnecessary. If the frying has been properly done, the grease has not taken up much from the article cooked. The grease may he poured from the frying pan into a vessel of hot water, when most of the foreign matter will settle and the pure grease will float, after somewhat washing itself in the water. It may then be used again and again with the best results. There is naturally a smell from any frying grease. In Europe, where many kinds of grease and (tils are used for frying, people become accustomed to the different smells, and do not mind them. In this country all are accus- tomed to the smell of frying hog lard. When it was first proposed to cook with cotton oil the new smell was ob jectionable, especially the smell of badly refined oil, and thus there grew a prejudice against its use. Another cause for bad results with the oil was the fact that often times the cook would not wait for the oil to get hot enough before putting it in the articles. When using lard, the cook would natur ally wait for it to melt, and it would get hot without provoking impatience. But the oil looks ready when it is first put in the frying pan, and there is a temptation to use it too soon. There has been much steady work done by those who make cooking compounds from cotton oil, with a view to reducing or disguising the smell. The result has been most gratifying. There are sev eral concerns making a specialty of oil refined for use in cooking, without further manipulation. The Wesson Pro cess company of Savannah, Ga., has been very successful in this line and will be glad to mail cook books. There are also a number of highly satisfactory cooking greases made from cotton oil and beef fat, such as "Palmatena” and “Snow Drift,” both of which products are expensively manufactured by the Southern Cotton Oil Company of the Carolinas and Georgia at their works in Savannah. They are both high class and reliable products in which the pure cotton seed oil is used and they resemble lard in appearance and results, but are more satisfactory and healthy, and which are superior to hog lard from every point of view. That they are much more healthful there can be no doubt. and back. Reward for Incendiary. Barnesville, Ga., July 31.—R. F. Matthews has offered a reward of $50 for an incendiary and hog thief. A few nights since one of his barns con taining about 200 bushels of corn was burned and he has reason for believing that tho fire was of incendiary origin. He thinks the incendiary may have some connection with the loss of 25 fine hogs within the past few months and hence ho offers the reward for the proper party with proof to convict. Fell From Bed; Broke Neck. Jackson, Miss., July 31.—Ixtuis Hoffman, a IG-months-old child from Waco, Tex., mot with a peculiar death at Castilian Springs, a summer resort near Durant. The child was asleep in bed, and. while probably stirring restlessly about, tumbled to the floor.

Now York, July 31.—Premier Bal four’s reconstruction of the cabinet is likely to be more cautious and delib erate, says a London dispatch to Tho Tribune, in consequence of the crush ing Conservative defeat in North Leeds.
