Judge Jennings Visits Ills iiojs
Judge J. D. Jennings of Tecum-
seh Oklahoma lather of Al and
Frank Jennings the two noted
criminals now in the Muskogee
jail arrived in the city last Sun-
day morning to pay a visit to his
boys. Judge Jennings is prob.ite
judge of Pottowatomie county
Oklahoma and is a man of culture
and refinement and has long been
prominent in civil and official life
Oklahoma trie laments the
sad pligtit in which he now finds
his boys and naturally thinks as
any latner would Mat tney are
innocent ot the many crimes laid
up against them. Judge Jennings
gays his boys were all well raised
and received a college educati- n.
Their mother died when they were
little but be had always provided
for them and they were ever duti-
Jul and obedient children. After
moving to Oklahoma both the
judge and his boys were prosper-
ing nicely and all were respected
citizens. Al Jennings was for
two ears prosecuting attorney of
one ot the counties and was an
efficient and able officer. The old
man lays the origin of their entire
trouble to the unfortunate killing
of their brother Dick by Temple
Houston son of the famous Sam
Houston and a noted character in
Oklahoma. They were all attach-
ed to their brother and the spirit
of revenge took possession of them
all particularly Al. The old man
fond of his sons remonstrated
with them and cautioned them to
be law abiding and let time and
tardy justice avenge their brother's
death. The boys could not be at
borne however and be at the
scene ot their brother's death with-
out pertain trouble and they left
and started a roaming life. This
was some two or three years ago.
Since then the boys Frank and Al
bave only occasionally been back
home and then only for a short
time. Their fatner believed them
to be leading honorable lives.
The meeting between father and
sons at the Muskogee jail Sun-
day morning last was somen hat
pathetic. The old gentleman
could not keep irom exhibiting his
attachment lor his two sons. He
cautioned them to be dutiful hon-
orable and courteous to their pris-
on mates court and jail officials
and assured United States Mar-
shal Bennett that all he wanted
was a fair hearing for his sons and
if guilty just punishment; if in-
nocent acquital. He was well
pleased with his treatment while
in the city and quickly won the
friendship of all with whom he
came in contact. Judge Jennings
slated when asked that he was a
couein to William Jennings Bryan
though he did not endorse all ol
Bryan's political doctrines. Mus-
kogee Phoenix.

BATHING AND HEALTH.
ClenuIIncsM Mrnnit Much Store Than n
i White SUin.
t If we have the authority of Scripture
for the statement that cleanliness la
next to godliness and if godliness is a
means to health happiness prosperity
long life and final sahatiou we can
readily understand the sentiment of the
philosopher who uttered those true
cnfl comprehensive words. Cleanliness
in its broadest sense means much more
than the state produced by the free
use of soap and water. In point of fact
soap and water however lavishly used
may not constitute a genuine bath.
Many persons rarely if ever get more
than what the back country women
calls "cat washes" or the "lick and the
promise" that many a busy housemoth-
er frequently gives to her children.
The surface of the body is covered with
numberless pores that are in as urgent
need of clearing out as are all other de-
positories for foreign matter. Whether
it be the dust of the street the smoke
and grime of shop or factory the im-
palpable powder that is ground by rest-
less feet out of carpets mattings and
wood floors or the imperceptible dupt
of the atmosphere matters little. The
pores of the skin arc filled with mate-
rial that must be removed in some way
if one would enjoy good health. To at-
tempt to clear out these little cells by
the use of soap and coll water is a
hopeless undertaking. The cleansing
process must come from within and
this can only be accomplished by start-
ing the perspiration which accumulat-
ing in the tiny ducts back of the pores
force out the dust collected there. In
icvr of the fact that cold has a ten-
dencv to close the pores it is difficult
to understand why some eminent au-
thorities advocate only cold baths and
seem incapable of giving any credit to
the use ot hot water. Of course there
are differences in temperament con-
stitution and condition and most per-
sons who have reached years of discre-
tion have been compelled to admit the
truth of the adage: "What is one man's
meat is another mnn's poison." There
are undoubtedly many people who are
greatly benefited by the use of cold wa-
ter indeed no one questions its value
as a remedial agent. But as a bath
agent and cleanser it is most valuable
when used after hot water. The Turk-
ish bath is the ideal means for cleansing
not only the outer cot ering of the body
but also the entire system. There arc
many diseases that are greatly relieved
or entirely cured by inducing profuse
perspiration. Scientists tell us that it
is nn easy matter for the experienced
bacteriologists to diagnose a case by
examining the perspiration. The dis-
ease germs pour out of the skin and are
by the evpert as readily recognized as
any other living creatures. For perfect
health and the very best by gieidc con-
ditions a bath as hot as can be taken
with comfort should be indulged in at
least twice a week. TMentv of fine toilet
M'jip and a section of T urkisli touelmg.
or vvli.it is Dim li better a pieee of ii
Japanese gourd should be used fucly.
These gourds which are fibrous and
spongy are sold at the druggists and
are the best wash rags in existence.
The individual should remain in the hot
bath until the sensation of being "com-
pletely cooked through" is experienced.
The first indication of the time to stop
comes in the shape of a fullness and
beating in the throat. As soon as this is
felt open the outlet in the bath tub and
turn on cold water through a pipe at-
tached to a sprinkler. Use this shower
bath until the surface of skin is com-
fortably cool and a reaction takes place.
Then wrap the entire body in a thick
bath robe and take half an hour's sleep
if possible. The slumber which follow s
such treatment is most refreshing.
Those who have studied bathing for
many years acknowledge tliat this is
unquestionably the best method of
bathing. X. Y. Ledger.
HOW TO CLEAN FURS.
A Good ThinsTor hr Oivncr of Them
to Know.
"The ancient idea that really good
furs uill last forever is n fallacy and
many an owner of a fine sealskin jacket
or fine ermine cape will soon be aston-
ished w hen she looks at her furs for the
first time since their long summer se-
clusion to find that they look very shab-
by after lying in a camphor chest for
six mouths" said a Xew York furrier to
a Star reporter.
"If a dealer has had charge of such ar-
ticles during the off season they are
kept in good condition because he has
every convenience for cleaning and tak-
ing care of furs. But if the owner has
taken them into her own keeping she
vill no doubt be glad at this time to
learn how her treasures may be renovat-
ed and made to look 'as good as new.
"Ermine and sealskin are best cleaned
w ith soft flannel. IJub the fur delicate-
ly against the grain and when it has
been thoroughly lifted and reversed
dip the flannel into common flour and
rub lightly any spots that look dark or
dirty. Then shake the goods well and
nib the fur with a clean dry flannel un-
til the flour is all removed.
"Sable chinchilla squirrel and
monkey skin may be very effectually
cleaned w ith hot bran. Procure a small
quantity of bran meal and heat it in an
oven until It is quite warm. Then rub it
softly into the fur and leave the goods
for five or ten minutes before shaking to
free it from the bran.
"Mink may be clenned and freshened
with w arm cornmcal and like the other
short-haii cd furs may be done without
removing the lining. But the long-
haired goods are best ripped apart and
fieed from stuffing and lining.
"Thoe who may not care to go to
the trouble of taking fur garments
apart will find that the simple remedies
I have mentioned will go a long way to-
ward making the jackets and capes look
clean even if not ripped apart." Wash-
ington Star.

There is nu etiquette of tea-pouring
which is strictly observed by our Eng-
lish cousins. The first cups are offered
to the older guests and guests of honor
since these first cups are weakest
while the latter brews are considered
less lraintnble and are served to the
children. However we Americans pre-
fer frankly asking each guest whether
the liquid is liked strong or weak
which is the simpler and better plan
since to many feminine the first cup is
decidedly "washy" and a real afflic-
tion. leisure Hours.

RECLAIMING LOST COAL.
I'rulitK Aon Maile Out of Wtmte Mentis
In the Anthracite KeKlon.
The Pending Railroad company has
begun the work of reclaiming the great
masses of anthracite coal now buried
in the mountains of coal dirt scattered
all over the Sehuy lkill coal basin. Dur- I
ing the season just closing 50000 tons i
of good coal w ere reclaimed from the J
coal dirt near Kalmia colliery alone.
Knlmia colliery Is now abandoned as
a coal mine having been worked out.
It was one of the very best of the
Heading Coal and Iron company's prop-
erties in the west end and its product
was vast in the many years of its active
operation. Xow the company has
turned its attention to reclaiming the
coal In the dirt mountain at the col-
liery. Suitable w ashery machines were
put in and quantities of first-class coal
are being taken out of what was con-
sidered a great black mass of worth-
less dirt.
There is no way of estimating th
weight of all these mountains of coal
dirt in the three Pennsylvania anthra-
cite coal basins but they are all valu-
able especially where there Is a plenti-
ful supply of w ater. In recent ears the
discovery has been made that pea coal
is first-class fuel. They now take out
and classify not only pea coal but
buckwheat and rice as well. The com-
pany is able to make at least one dollar
clear profit a ton on this washed coal
which would make $50000 clear profit
on the Kalmia washery alone. Indi-
viduals have gone into the business
and the Hertollette Brothers of 01-
rr.rdsville are doing very well ship-
ping as high as 16 cars a day. In a
short time it is probable many more
will be engaged in washing out good
coal from these dirt heaps some of
which are 2000 feet in height and cover
ten acres.
At one big dirt bank a very rich find
has just been made. During the war
the demand for lump coal for United
States vessels of war was so great that
several of the Beading railroad col-
lieries could not stop to bother with
small coal. The rush for lump and
steamboat necessitated the pushing of
small coal out of the way In order to
hurry up the shipments of the big coal j
This small coal went out on the bank '
and was soon covered up by the dirt I
from the breakers and buried out of
sight to remain there for 35 years. It I
has now been discovered and it is
thought may prove worth hundreds of
thousands of dollnrs. It requires very
little work to run coal through the '
newly-patented washeries. Hence ma-!
chincry is now used in washing and sep-
arating coal not only at coal dirt banks
but also nt the mines. Coal just mined I
is brought up into the breakers and
thoroughly washed and is put on the
cars bright clean and sparkling. I
This new hunt for lost coal is not '
confined to the mountains of coal dirt
nlone. It Is estimated that bods of the
mIvi intoned taunt sml liuv Skill river.
lieMtreii -)ill lkill H --1 1 Mini Port
t I moil contain tlioii-umU of Ions of
coal varying in size from buckwheat
to nut. At different places along the
Schuylkill and old cnnal south of the
old navigation landing at Schuylkill
Haven thousands of tons of fuel have
been taken out and there Is not a week
day that men women and children arc
not seen digging and sieving the culm.

HELPLESS LORD CHANCELLOR.
All Perm Eqnnl na I.cclIntom In the
lluo.r of I.orJla.
The responsible olliee ot chairman or
president of a legislative body is one
that generally carries with it both pow-
ers and privileges. There are however
e.ceptions to the rule. In the British
house of lords it is not the lord chan-
cellor but the whole house that is ad-
dressed as "my lords."
The speaker is the sole judge of all
questions of order in the house of com-
mons. In the house of lords such mat-
ters w hen there is a conflict of opinion
are decided by the w hole house and not
by the lord chancellor.
If several members in the house of
commons rise simultaneously to tal(
part in a debate the speaker decides
who shall speak first but if two or more
peers rise together in the house of lords
the lord chancellor cannot decide who
shall first be heard. It is the voice of
the house that determines.
Happily etiquette is so strong in the
gilded chamber that It rarely happens
when the house by cries expresses its
desire to hear one of the contending
peers that the others do not give way.
But some jears ago there was a notable
scene over the question whether a peer
who had risen from the front tory
bench should be heard in preference to
a peer who had risen from the front
liberal bench.
Xeither lord would give way and to
bring the curious situation to an end
Karl Granville moved that the liberal
peer be heard. The house divided on
the question and decided by a big ma-
jority that the tory peer should he
heard first.
It is difficult for the average man to
understand why the lord chancellor
should not be able to exercise authority
which is vested in the chairman of
every public meeting hut there Is a
subtle constitutional point involved in
this apparently ridiculous procedure.
All peers are equal as legislators in
the house of lords. Xo one of them can
be vested with authority over the oth-
ers. Therefore when a point of order
is in volv ed it is the w hole house and not
the lord chancellor that must decide the
issue. London Sunday Magazine.
