To the Editor of Tux EvENtNe Stam: Having read in tonight's issue of Tae Stan the remarks of the trans-Missouri statesman who favors eight hours a day for all govern- ment employes and not knowing his address I appeal to the columns of your valuable paper in hopes that his eye may sce this. I, as well as all government employes who are compelled | to work eight hours a day, agree with him in his proposed bill to treat all employes alike. The clerks, who only work six hours a day, are granted an aunual ay well as a sick leave, while | we navy yard employes are required to work eight hours aday, are granted no leave and are only paid for the exact time we make. Now if the Missouri Congressman wishes to place all government employes on an equal basis why will he not insert a clause in his bill granting us an annual leave as well as the clerks? We juired to use brains as well as muscle much responsible for our work as the clerks are for theirs. Why not treat uli alike? AN HOUR EMPLOYE, Golden Cross Meetings.

HOW BUTTER COMES FO THIS CITY Some Interesting Information About Trade in a Luscious Product. “Washington gets her supply of butter chiefly from Pennsylvania,” said a large dealer in that interesting article yesterday. “A good deal comes also from all over the wesi, from Ohio to Dakota, But western butter has, not the peculiarly delicious flavor that marks the Pennsylvania article, notwithstanding the fact that the farmers in the land toward the setting sun feed their cows with wonderful liberelity upon grain, It is all in the sweetness of the grass, I think, First-rate butter is made in New York state, and a good deal comes from thence to Washington in the spring of the year, when | the grass is fresh and the product correspend- ingly good, Necessarily we contract the circle of our buying in the summer, when butter brought from faraway might vet bad, and a good deal comes from Maryland and Virginia, Butter does not often turn stale on our hands now, as it used to do very frequently when Washington depended for its supplies on huck- wt ‘These hucksters drove about the coun- try and gathered it up from the farmers, who often had had it on hand for some time. But- ter was much more apt to vary then in qual- it WAYS OF MAKING BUTTER. “How is butter prepared and brought to this market?” asked Tue Stag writer. “To begin with, the cream is delivered by the farmers to the creameries, where stated prices are paid for it, and itis transformed into butter by the newest processes, From the creameries the butter is dispatched to commission men in Philadelphia and Baltimore, who send their gents to us, not with samples but merely with representations regarding the articles they | have to offer and the prices. On those repre- sentations, by persons we have business knowl- edze of, our purchases are made, We sell either directly to the consumers or to retailers, way in which you get the butter You eat on your buckwheat cakes, Butter thay be civided roughly into three kinds—tadle butter, imitation creamery butter and creamery butter. Ladle butter is ordinary country but- ter, gathered usually in the shape of rolls, as it Was yenrs ago, from the farmers, It is taken tosome factory, sorted out, to separate the qualities, worked over and colored. Imitation creamery butter is collected by persons who go around among the farmers and gather the pro- duct fresh churned but not salted; subsequently it is reworked and salted, Thi PROCESSES FOR MAKING CREAMERY BUTTER are numerous, but in a general way the modern method is about as follows: First, the milk delivered by the farmers is got to a certain temperature, after which the cream is quickly separated from the milk by a sort of sieve ap- pisno setting the milk over the cream off it, The cream, once uto vats,which are placed in ruuning water. Then it is putinto auto- matic churns, and, after being made into butter. is transferred to a worker, which squeezes the last of the water out of it and mixes in the quantity of salt desired, Finally itis either put into tubs or made into pats and sent to market. We never make tub butter into pate here, because it spoils it to do so. To muke butter not fresh from the churn ito pats breaks the grain, as we s: in other words it destroys the little fatty molecules, aud the result is that the butter gets quickly bad. Aiso it loses its flavor almost at once, By the most improved processes it takes only thirty minutes to transform the fresh-delivered cream into pat butter. whereas by the old methods from twenty-four to tlirty hours were required,” IMITATIONS OF BUTTER. “How about oleomargarine?” “There is comparatively little of it sold now. Notwithstanding the temptation dealers no longer dare to buy the composition and sell it under false pretenses, The laws ure too strict in the District, It is not practicable nowadays for merchants to sately buy imitation butter at 14 cents a pound and sell it as real for 40 cents, Oleomargarine, as I dare say you know, is the fat of cattle, sweetened, tlavored and colored, Butterine contains from 50 to 60 per cent of butter, with the remaining per cent of fat. ‘To get butter for their butterine dealers would go into the market and buy several dozen tubs of the real article, so as to raise the price of but- ter, with a view to getting a better price sub- sequently for their butterine. ‘The butter brought to Washington has any salt in it, Whereas that sold in New England usually has about an ounce anda half ot salt to each pound, Salt weighs heavy, you know, Butter prices is chicflya matter of fan ‘The ouly difference between the 45 and 60-cen butters sold here is that cach pat of the 6 )-cent kind is made from the cream of a singie cow, Keally you can buy just about as good butter as can be made nowadays for 45 cents a pound throughout the year, We test the quaiity of our brauds by smelling and the business of an accurate butter smeller is one that requires no smail capacity and commands high pay.” ‘dl; Trespassers on Indian Lands. Indian Inspector Armstrong. who is now at Chamberlain, 8. D., telegraphs the Secretary of the Interior that town-site locators and settlers are trespassing uponsurveyed homestead lands occupied by Indians in the newly ceded Sioux territory. and thatthe Indians have asked to be rotected in their rights as they were promised, Mr, Armstrong fears trouble unless the town- site locators are promptly removed, Me states that the reports of great excitement in the ter- ritory are exaggerated. Secretary Noble atonce replied instructing Mr, Armstrong to notify all persons interfering with Indian rights that they must remove from the land. ‘The military at the fort will remain until these troubles are settled.

COURTESY ON A STREET CAR. Young Noodles Has a Remarkable Ex- perience in the Way of Politeness. Young Noodles was never more astonished in his life than by an occurrence on a street car last nightas he was going home from the Platypus club, He was bound for 22d strect and P, but had got in the vehicle with the red front, which goes to the Boundary, instead of turning down P street, as the green one does. ‘The car was just passing around the west side of Dupont circle, when Noodles stepped out on the platform at the rear and said to the con- ductor: “Kindly stop at P street,” The conductor—a jolly person of rotund physique—replied: “May I ask, sir, if you live on P street?” Noodles smiled with a cheerfulness partly at- tributable to six consecutive mugs of ale which he had drank at the club froma silver mug with a glass bottom to it. Quoth he: “I do live on P street between 2ist and 22d.’” “So you got the wrong cari “I regret to say that | did.” A MIRACLE PeRrorwED, Whereupon there ensued the most surprising thing that Noodles ever imagined. The conductor jumped off the car and,-in- serzing his poker. or whatever you may call it, in the switch at the P street corner, turned the rail and, jumping back on the platform, said: “Now, I shull have the pleasure of taking you home.’ it was all done in the fraction of a second, and before he fairly knew it Noodles found himself being conveyed down P street to be resently discharged at the door of his resi- lence, “We always like to be polite to patrons of our line,” observed the conductor as Noodles got off, touching his ¢ Noodles has been aghast over the incident ever since, “Who says that the occupation of a car con- doctor is not a gentleman's profession?” is his , of course,” says Doodles, who has taken a mug of ale more than is necessary him- self. “I tell you,” rejoins Noodles, “that it is a business in which those qualities which com- pose the character of a gentleman are most sutisfactorily exhibited.

After some uneventfal sparring by others Tom James of Dallas en- countered Banzia, combination champion light-weight, for 225, conditioned that James should stay for four rounds, Banzia had it his way from the first. In the fourth round Banzia struck James inthe neck, knocking him limp on the stage. James was unable to rise, {He was sponged and restoratives applied. The show continued, no one supposing that James was hurt seriously, When the entertainment had about concluded Muldoon announced that James was unconscious «ud called for a phy- sictan, Banzia was searched tor by officers, bat had tied. James died at 12:30 yesterday morn- ing.

Evidence Implicating His Brother, the Ex-Conviet, Who is Under Arrest. The mutilated body of Hiram F. Sawtelle, the missing Boston fruit dealer, was found yes- terday afternoon in the Berwick woods, in western Maine, near the New Hampshire line. The murderer had selected a smail thicket as the hiding place and there had dug a rude grave. Into this the body was thrust trank first. Death had resulted from a bullet through the heart. The body was entirely nude with the exception of the stockings on the fect. The head and one arm had been cut from the body and are now missing. The ground about the grave was frozen and over the whole place briers had been strewn for the purpose of con- cealing the grave. The searching party, how- ever, came upon evidences of it early yesterday morning. The shoes of the dead man, a hand- kerchief marked “S.” the papers in which the axe and shovel had been wrapped and finally a piece of the coat, all assisted as guides to the spot. The body was ina horrible condition and Mra, Sawtelle has been summoned from Loston to identify it, Isaac Sawtelle was arraigned at Rochester. 4 yesterday on the charge of murder and, at the government’s request, the case was con- tinued uatil March 12. The prisoner remains as unconcerned as ever. He protested that he had nothing to do with the case and insisted that Hiram would return and explain all, He maintained this even while the officers were unearthing the dead body over in Maine. This news Was not made known to him until this evening. Isaac's clothes were tound marked with blood stains, showing that he had a share in the mur- der, though it is not known that he was alone. Ju tact it is generaily beleved that he had con- federates, i case is one of the most interesting in the criminal history of New England and, although it has apparently been shrouded in mystery from the beginning, the work of the detectives has been so thorough that a complete chain of evidence against the prisoner from the time of his leaving his brother Hiram’s house antil the findiny of the latter's body is laid bare aud shows so little an attempt on Isanc’s part to cover his tracks that it secms strange that any one could have been mystified as to his inten- ons or actions, Otiicer Shields now has in his possession the empty shell from which the bullet came that killed Hiram.

Plot to Kidnap a Millionaire and Hold An extraordinary scheme came to light at Colorado Springs, Col., yesterday and caused a big sensation. For months past, it appears, a band of men bas been perfecting arrangements to kidnap ex-Senator H. G. W. Tabor and hold him in the fastness of a neighboring mountain until a ransom of 250,000 had been paid. Owing to the ‘peaching” of one of the gang the scheme was exploded and now the conspirators are incustody. It is thought that the ex-Sen- ator will not prosecute, eee THE EARL OF SYDNEY. Death of Queen Victoria’s Financial Manager, John Robert Townshend, first earl of Sydney, who died yesterday, was the son of the second viscount and eighty-five years old at the time ot hisdeath. He was educated at St, John’s, Cambridge, and succeeded his father as Vis- count Sydney in 1831, In i841 he was appointed a lord-in-waiting to her majesty, He retired from that position at the end of Sir Robert Peel's administration in 1846, but thereafter always held one of the highest and most im- portant offices in the queen's household when- ever the liberal party was in power. In De- cember, 1852, he was made captain of the yeo- men of the guard, or ‘‘Beef-caters.” by the earl of Aberdeen. and continued in that office by Lord Palmerston, retiring in March, i868. when the late Lord Derby became premier. In June, 1859, when Lord Palmerston returned to oflice, Lord Sydney was made lord chamber- lain, an office which he held through the Pal- merston and Russell administrations until July, 1866, when Lord Derby again became premier and to which he was restored by Mr. Gladstone in December, 1868, retiring with the Hberal ministry in February, 1874. Just before the last-named date he was sent to St, Petersburg to represent the queeu at the mar- riage of the duke of Edinburg to the Russian Grand Duchess Marie, and on his return from that mission was created an earl, During Mr. Gladstone's second administration, from May, 1880, to June, 1885, he served as lord steward of the queen’s household, in which position he again served during Gladstone's third and vee administration from February to August, As lord steward he was intrusted with the oversight of the queen's personal finances. In he had been much concerned in the man- agement of the queen's money affairs ever Since the death ot the prince consort, and for tmany years regularly audited her majesty’s private accounts, Asx Lord Sydney leaves no heirs his titles expire with him. -— ses A Bank Robbed of $10,000.
