CONTEST IS RAGING Speakership of the Indiana State Legislature an Object of Competition. GETTING AT APPROPRIATIONS A Reasonable Way of Securing Information Regarding the Actual Money Needs of the Several State Institutions—An Effective Movement Which Is Likely to Become a Fixed Feature—Russel M. Seeds Writes of the Coming Meeting of the General Assembly and of Incidents at the State Capital — Primary Election Law Movement Making Progress. [Special Correspondence.] Indianapolis, Dec. 12.—The speaker-ship contest is raging with unusual fierceness for this stage of the struggle. Candidates are making frequent trips over the state, and it seems likely that all, or nearly all, the members will be pledged to the various candidates before they arrive at Indianapolis. Up to date Mr. Stutesman has probably secured more promises of support than any other candidate. A considerable boost was given to his boom last week, when the Republican members of the Tenth district to the number of seven held a conference and agreed to support him. A. O. Reser of Lafayette declined to come into the conference, and it is reported that he will support Mr. Artman. All the candidates declare that they are making no promises of committee chairmanships and expect to make none, holding themselves free to make up their committees after the contest is decided. At last the legislature seems to have struck a reasonable way of satisfying itself of the needs of the state institutions, in order that appropriations may be intelligently made. Formerly these things went very much by political "pull" and personal favor. The heads of the various institutions were politicians, and every two years saw a general scramble among them for the biggest possible appropriations. The result was unreasonably large appropriations, loose management and general extravagance. When the era of greater economy came in, the ways and means committees were at considerable loss to know where to cut wisely. The first effort in 1895 was a horizontal reduction of nearly 20 percent. They seemed able to stand this, and in 1897 another horizontal reduction was made. While this was proper in some cases, in others it worked great hardship. By 1899 there had been such reforms in the management of the institutions that the legislature was able to put much more confidence in the statements of their superintendents as to their needs, but still it was almost impossible for it to gather any original information. Therefore a bill was passed authorizing the governor, immediately after an election to appoint a committee of three members of the legislature, who should visit all the various institutions of the state before the session of the legislature, investigate their needs and report its findings fully. Governor Mount named such a committee early in November, and it has been actively at work ever since, and from all reports is doing its work very thoroughly. It is probable that the legislature will put entire confidence in the judgment of this committee when it comes to pass the appropriation bill. The general effort toward a primary election law made some progress during the week in a general meeting of the committees appointed by Chairman Hernly, the state board of commerce and the State Federation of Labor, together with a number of other citizens interested in the matter. The joint committees appointed an executive committee, which was entrusted with the work of preparing a measure and urging it on the legislature. This committee is composed of William Fortune, A. L. Mason, J. E. McCullough, C. N. Thompson, Joseph A. Minturn, S. E. Morse, A. D. Ogborn, Eben Wolcott, E. A. Perkins, Clarence Gaumer, T. E. Griffith, C. J. Murphy, M. A. Chipman, E. P. Barry and Frank E. Gavin. An advisory committee was also named, composed of R. O. Hawkins, E. H. Bundy, Charles S. Hernly, Parks M. Martin, John W. Kern, W. L. Taylor, Merrill Moores, A. C. Ayres, Joseph B. Kealing and J. H. Shea. The meeting developed a very wide diversity of opinion as to what the scope of a primary law should be, and how primary elections should be conducted. As a general thing members from the country, while conceding the necessity of a law of this kind for conducting primaries in the cities, declared that it was unnecessary in the rural precincts. If we ever have a registration law in Indiana there will be an end to the close, big and enormously expensive party organizations, because it will remove the primary necessity for such close political organization. At present each party endeavors to take three polls of the state, the six-months, the sixty-days and the thirty-days polls. The first purpose of this work is not to find out the political complexion of the voters, so much as it is to identify them and their places of residence, so that the man who has not resided in the state six months, in the county 60 days and in the precinct 30 days may be challenged, should he attempt to vote. A general registration law will accomplish this elimination of fraudulent votes at public expense and the station whatever to retire. Nicholas Filbeck has likewise begun a fight for the internal revenue collectorship of the Terre Haute district, now held by D. W. Henry. Filbeck and Henry head opposing factions in Vigo county and the prospects are that the fur will fly. Republicans in general would be glad to see the Terre Haute "scrap," which comes up to menace Republican success in every campaign, fought out to a definite conclusion and ended once for all. During the last campaign both sides worked with the greatest loyalty for the success of the party, but all estimates on the Fifth district had a saving clause, "if the Terre parties will not find it necessary to spend such a vast amount of money in making three house to house canvasses of the state. In view of the possibility that the present legislature may not agree on a law covering this subject, the conference formed a permanent organization to pursue this purpose, with Harry S. New of Indianapolis as president; Frank I. Grubbs of Lafayette secretary, and H. H. Hanna, Indianapolis treasurer. The following vicepresidents were chosen: First district, C. J. Murphy of Evansville; Second district, J. C. Freeman of Linton; Third district, George W. Self of Corydon; Fourth district, Noah T. Rogers of Greensburg; Fifth district, James S. Barcus of Terre Hante; Sixth district, Francis S. Roberts of Connersville; Seventh district, George G. Tanner of Indianapolis; Eighth district, Judge A. O. Marsh of Winchester; Ninth district, M. W. Pershing of Tipton; Tenth district, William Austin of Rensselaer; Eleventh district, Warren Bigler of Wabash; Twelfth district, R. S. Taylor of Fort Wayne; Thirteenth district, Charles Miller of Goshen. Another "good government" movement that will ask the legislature to give its ideas the vitality of law is the municipal government league, called into being by the state board of commerce during the past week. A conference called in this city by that body resulted in the formation of the league, with the following officers: President, J. E. McHenry of Wabash; Secretary—Francis T. Roots of Connerville; Treasurer—W. H. Craig of Noblesville; Executive Committee—Arthur W. Brady of Muncie, chairman; B. F. Deahl of Goshen; W. S. Christian of Noblesville; John McGregor of Madison; J. W. Robb of Clinton; George W. Funk of Logansport; James E. Nelson of Greencastle; A. L. Mason of Indianapolis, and William Fortune of Indianapolis. The president and secretary of the organization will also act as members of the executive committee. The following were elected vice-presidents: Mayor Justice of Lafayette; Mayor McGuire of Madison; Mayor Colfax of South Bend; Mayor Dunlap of Anderson; Mayor Dungan of Huntington; Mayor Zimmerman of Richmond; Mayor Tuhey of Muncie; Mayor Scherer of Fort Wayne; Mayor Christie of Ligoneer; Mayor Simmons of Portland; Mayor Ruley of Hammond; Mayor Green of Vincennes, and Mayor O'Brien of Lawrenceburg. The general purpose of the league is to obtain a law for the incorporation of those cities of the state not having special charters, which shall have the general features of the special charters granted to Indianapolis, Evansville, Fort Wayne and Terre Haute. The central notion of these charters is the sharp division between the executive and legislative functions of city government, confining the council to the legislative field and centerring the power and responsibility for all executive work in the mayor. The executive committee of the league selected a sub-committee to prepare a bill covering this purpose, for presentation to the legislature. Governor-elect Durbin, if he expects to wield an influence in legislation, has done a remarkably smart thing in declaring that, aside from the governor's secretary, already announced, he will make no appointments until after the session of the legislature. Many of the members will be tumbling over themselves to find out what he wants done, in the hope of having a voice in his appointments. A rather live time appears to be brewing among some of the political leaders in the near future. While President McKinley has given a pretty broad hint that there will be no general change in federal appointments by publicly requesting members of the cabinet to continue in office, a great many Republicans have their eyes on nice government jobs, and are firmly convinced that four years more of the full dinner pail does not necessarily mean four years more of a good thing for the present incumbents. Charles F. Griffin has begun an active campaign to obtain endorsements for appointment as United States district attorney, though Mr. Wishard, the present incumbent, has shown no dispo- station whatever to reure. Nicholas Filbeck has likewise begun a fight for the internal revenue collectorship of the Terre Haute district, now held by D. W. Henry. Filbeck and Henry head opposing factions in Vigo county and the prospects are that the fur will fly. Republicans in general would be glad to see the Terre Haute "scrap," which comes up to menace Republican success in every campaign, fought out to a definite conclusion and ended once for all. During the last campaign both sides worked with the greatest loyalty for the success of the party, but all estimates on the Fifth district had a saving clause, "if the Terre Haute Indians don't get out their tomahawks and begin massacreing each other." The effort of Mr. Griffin to get Mr. Wishard's tidy little job may bring to the surface the long-expected trial of strength between the two senators in the matter of appointments. Both Mr. Fairbanks and Mr. Beveridge have gone to great lengths in the past to preserve the harmony that has marked the Republican councils in Indiana, and it is probable that they will find a way to settle this in a way satisfactory to their followers, but the situation is full of electricity. RUSSEL M. SEEDS. Oldest Living Man Lives In Geoglia and Was Born 126 Years Ago. Georgia claims the possession of the oldest man in the world. The claim is made on benalf of Caesar Booker, a coal black Negro, who was born in Virgina 126 years ago He came of slave parentage, and his master, Richardson Booker, died more than fifty years ago. Even at the time of his death, Caesar was looked upon as an ancient uncle, with a large family of grandchildren growing up around him. Since that time almost two generations have gone by, and old Caesar is still in the best of health. One of his daughters is living at Thomson, Ga., a wrinkled old dame of ninety-eight, who is in appearance much older than her antique father. There are six other children, all of them old and more or less decrepit, The old man himself seems to be a freak of nature. His memory is good and he talks entertainingly of things which happened more than a century ago. His great age is well authenticated. The old man believes that he will live well into the next century. He is still able to do light work, and likes nothing better than to potter around a garden. Fishing in Alaska.

MADE PROGRESS INDSTRIAL CONDITIONS IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA. A Newy Letter From a Former Resident of the Hoosier State--Leading Citizens There, (Special Correspondence) Mobile, Ala., Dec. 10,—Anent the much discussed and so-called race disfranchement, as viewed in the North perhaps an insight into the industrial advancement of the colored residents of this distant clime, will do much to dispel the illusion of an estrangement that to a large degree is imaginary. We have been in the Gulf City more than two months now, and things begin to assume a home-like aspect. Mobile is z pretty little city with many quaint and ancient buildings, with their long, broad galleries (or porches). However, a number of modern houses are a noticeable feature. Many of these homes are owned by colored citizens, a large number of whom have lucrative positions. One young man a Mr. Tart is head stenographer in a railroad office, with a salary of $100 a month. Undertaker A. N. Johnson holds a government position at $100 per month. Mr. Peterson is superintendent of mails, and there are 36 other colored men employed in the Post Office; Drs. Harris and Williams are kept busy alleviating the lills of the people, and in near proximity an affable colored pharmacist is kept busy in a well supplied colored drug store. There are also two well equipped colored undertakers, shoe store, furniture store, hardware store, two newspapers groceries, butcher shops, fruit stands, wood and coal yards and other minor places of business. A colored insurance company does an immense business, and gives employment to quite a number of young men and women. So well founded is it among the people that the "Metropolitan" could do no business here. It has branch offices throughout the state. The races are at peace and harmony with each other. Speaking of races I might add that all nations under the sun seems to exist here. There are quite a number of recoles. In the North they would be classed as mulattoes. However, it seems if one's hair is straight, he may become a Creole, regardless of complexion. Several Portuguese here have colored wives, also a Chinaman; the latter has a well-stocked grocery and employs a colored clerk. There are also a number of Cubans, Assyrians, Turks and Indians here. The church property owned by the colored people here is very valuable, and modern in all appointments, with pipe organs, electric lights, etc. One of the most popular colored men here with the people is Rev. A, F. Owens, past r of Union Baptist church Nineteen years ago he originated a plan whereby the inmates of the county poor farm, city hospital and county jail might partake of Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners, and through his uniring efforts those poor unfortunates are served dinners on these occasions that would reflect credit on any hotel. His honesty is never questions, and is often stopped in the streets by leading white men who will contribute without the asking. For this year $450 has been collected by him, to say nothing of donations in provisions etc. These institutions are made up of both classes—the majority being white. One looks on with awe and admiration at the county farm, as this colored man deals with lavish hand to those who once held he and his race in bondage, for a number of them were once slaveownets, and now they idolize him. Crossing on the other side of the lawn, we find the colored ward. All are served alike. The poor old mammy, relic of bygone, cruel days, sightless, yet happy—seems to divine his footsteps. The decrepit old man shouts with joy as he approaches Truly, this one act of Rev, Owens' is a commendable one. MYRTLE WALLACE BROWN. 610 Saint Michael street. Goes To Atlanta, Ga. The Rev, C. W. Newton Transfers His Successor. Last Sunday the congregation at Bethel Church was startled when the announcement was made by the pastor Rev. Newton, of his transfer to Big Bethel at Atlanta Ga. The information was a complete surprise to not only the membership of Bethel, but the city at large, where Dr. Newton is be loved and admired. During his short pastorate of Bethel, his work and worth has characterized him as a pulpit orator, whose measures with the best in the A. M. E. connection and Price 3 Cents financier, who knows no successful competitor or equal. Rev. Newton leaves today for Atlanta but will return in about two weeks to wind up his affairs here. Charles W. Newton, was born in Lexington, Mo. in 1856; when nine years of age his parents removed to Leaven worth, Kas., where he attended the public schools until he was 14 years old. In the year 1871, he joined the Seventh Calvary, under command of the famous Gen. George A. Custer. In 1872 the Rev. Mr. Newton gave up his soldier life and returning home he again entered school. Fully equipping himself he accepted a position as teacher, which he filled four terms, In 1810 Rev. Newton went to Chicago, where he formed the acquaintance of Rev. G. C. Booth, under whose influence he joined the A. M. E. Church. In 1881 he was licensed to preach under the Rev. Geo. H. Hann at Lake Forest, Ill. With his entrance into the ministry, the same spirit and will power that was manifested on former occasions again came to the front, and in 1882 he was in charge of the circuit M. B. work in the state of Iowa. At the next annual conference Rev. Newton passed a creditable examination and was admitted into the Conference, by Rt. Rev. Bishop T. M. D. Ward, who paid marked honor to the applicant. He was first appointed to Minneapolis Station, Minn. While at that city he was given a special course of instruction under the scholarly Prof. Northnp, the president of the University of Minnesota. He also had the marked honor of servling as Commissioner for the State of Minneapolis, at the Centennial Cotton Exposition at New Orleans. Rev. Newton modestly says that the gods have been propitious to him, as he has never had a poor assignment. After the four years of required study the final examination and successfully passed, being ordained an Elder at old Quinn Chapel, Chicago, by Bishops Brown and Tanner. Rev. Newton transferred from the Springfield, Ill. Conference, to Bethel last year. A reception was tendered him last Thursday evening at the parsonage, by the members and friends of the Church. It was a brilliant affair. The Rev. Mr. Newton will be succeeded by the Rev. Dr. Downs of Columbus Ga. In Memoriam. We the officers and members of St. Rose Tabernacle, No. 90, feel that was the pleasure of Almighty God; in his wise providence, to gather from our midst, to his fold, daughter Amanda Burton. In our submissiveness to his will we greatly feel our loss. Sister Burton joined St. Rose Tabernacle in June 1808 and she lived a faithful and obedient member. As we visited her bedside during her long illness, one by one, we noticed in the sunbeams of her smiling contenance that she yielded to her affection with patience. She was never heard to murmur or regret, but always welcomed her friends with a cheering word. She lived a consistent christian and was loved by all who knew her bes. "As she lived, she died." We extend to the bereaved relatives our heartfelt sympathy. Her funeral was held from New Bethel Baptist church, the pastor Rev. Seymour officiating, December 2. Daughter Amanda has gone to the mansion above. Where there is neither sorrow nor pain. But all is peace, and all is love; Trust in the Lord, and we shall see her again. Dt. Rebecca Morris. H. P. Dt.

Now I want to break up a delusion in your mind, and that Is this: When ‘our friends go out from this‘world, we feelsorty for them beeause they have to go alone, and parents hold on.to the hands of their children who are dying and hold on to something of the im- pression that the moment they let go the little one will be in the darkness ‘and in the boat all alone. “Oh.” the parents ‘say, “if I could only go with my, child, I would be willing ,to die half a_dozen times.

When soul goes to heaven, it does not go alone: the King is on boatd the boat. Was Paul alone in the sacred mission: aty as he eries out. “I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my de- partire Is xt hand.” Again, my text suggests that leaving this World for heaven is onty crésting a ferry.

When David and his family went over in the ferryboat spoken of in the text they landed amid a nation that had come out to greet them. As they stepped from the deek of the boat to the shore there were thousands of people who gathered around them to express a satisfaction that ‘was beyond description. And so you and.I will be met at the landing. Our arrival will not be like stepping ashore at Antwerp or Constantinople Among a crowd of strangers. It will be Among friends, good friends,those who are warm hearted friends, and all their friends. We know people whom we have never seen by hearing somebody talk about them very much. We know them almost as well as if we had seen them. And do you not suppose that our parents and brotliers and sisters and children in. heayen have been talk- ing aboutus all these yexrs and talk- ing to their friends? So that, I sup- pose, When we vos: the river at the Last we shall not only be met by all ‘those Christian friends whom we knew on earth, but by all their friends. ‘Chey will come down to the landing to meet us, Your departed _ friends love you now more than they ever did. You will be surprised at the last to tind how they know about all the affairs of your life. Why, they are only across the ferry, and the boat is coming this way, and the boat is going that way. I do not know but they have slready asked the Lord the day, the hour, the moment, when you are coming across and that they know now, but I do know that you will be met at the land- ing.

Remarkable Fascination Exerted by the Silken Tapes Upon Women. Ribbons have a certain fascination for women. It is astonishing how many yards each one purchases annually whether she has any definite use for it or not, the temptation often exceeds prudence and moral strength. The ribbon counter bargains are responsible for many of the pretty, handy trifles which dovetail into usefulness and go to make up a sum total which for want of a better term we call the amenities of life. For example, there is the coat hanger, an ugly, necessary utility, which may be made not only pretty but quite a luxury by the use of some ribbon, for which you have no other use. Wrap not only the wooden bar, but the hook as well with cheese cloth or some other material equally soft, or even stripes of sheet wadding secured by flat-top or strips of cloth so that it is smooth and round. Quite a quantity of sachet powder can be thus introduced. Now join two narrow strips of ribbon, or one wide piece into a long sheath just the length of the hanger. A space or eyelet is left for the hook which is wrapped with marrower ribbon of the same shade. A hanger covered with black satin ribbon hand-painted in violets, and perfumed with the same sachet, is always nice for one's jacket, the padded stick never injuring the silk linings, and the fragrance always keeping the garment mildly permeated with a delicate perfume, much more refined and lasting that that procured by a dash of extract or cologne. Fan cases made of ribbon are pretty and simple of construction. One wide piece of heavy satin, say about eighteen inches long, has its selvedge edges joined by an open herring-bone stitch, or buttonholed together. The frayed ends form a top fringe, and for ornamentation embroidery or painting may be selected, but a newer and brighter idea is to sew the ribbon all over with tiny gold or silver spangles. Jet is pretty here, too, or colored glass beads. The fan case is suspended by small gold, silver, ribbon or velvet cords. Go-cart or high-chair straps for baby are not a novelty, but they suggest themselves among the possibilities of ribbon. A strap of kid or patent-leather at the back of the painted or embroidered strip keeps the ribbon from crumpling and makes it more durable. Really beautiful gifts in this style are among the daintiest things in the little heir's layette. A use of ribbon which only came to light in the way of a confidential whisper shows to what extremes we are driven in this pocketless era. A wise little woman who always wears a smart pedestrian suit for runabout confided her solution to the query of where to put the various things she would probably have no space for in the tiny placket pocket which only grudgingly received her handkerchief. She shaped a little belt of narrow satin ribbon so that it buckled below the waist line in front. Depending from this is a two-inch strip of black satin ribbon twelve inches long. The loose end of this is turned up for a depth of nearly four inches, the edge whipped over to prevent fraying. This makes a nice little pocket for her door keys and a short lead pencil. If she ever needs safety pins for an unexpected rent, there they're pinned along the ribbon and there also dangles a little pucker bag of soft silk which contains a powder rag. This strap takes up no room, and is easily procured through the side-closing placket. It is not intended that it be shown, but is neat if of necessity it should be brought out publicly, and its inventor declares she has so much comfort in having handy things about her in such a sure and secure place. An imported Eton jacket is composed of quarters inch black velvet laid in squares three-quarters of an inch apart. At each intersection there is sewn on a silk marguerite, white, of course, with a yellow center. These flowers are cut from strips bought by the yard and are thus only nominally expensive. Any other flower might be substituted, or any shade or ribbon or velvet employed. The edge was finished by ends of black velvet tacked in clusters from a row of the marguerites which occur at each last corner. The bolero has a lining of white chiffon to give if permanency, and may be worn with quite a variety of toilets. -St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Squash Hat. There are some milliners who speak of it as the Lamballe, others call it the Halbein, and a third contingent have christened it the Anne Boleyn, but to the woman who wears it its name is the squash hat. There is hardly any need to describe the squash hat, for, like the political poster, it has pervaded the landscape ever since the matinee season began, and the opening of the matinee season is the date by which 90 per cent. of American womankind regulate the purchasing of their autumn headgear. Then, too, the squash hat defies description. And the only thing one can say of it in safety is that it has delivered a stunning blow to the trade in felt frames, and proportionately boomed the manufacture of velvet. Every properly constituted flat hat is made of velvet. A yard or a gold of the deep piled goods in any color preferred is wrapped, twisted, wrinkled and bunched upon an absolutely flat crinoline frame, and this trimmed with gold braid, stitched bands of taffeta, velvet roses, buckles, a fur animal, a lace frill and a few ornamental hat pins is at once the joy and sorrow of the woman who feels she must live right up to the fashion. It is an abiding joy, because there is no hard and fast rule to regulate its position on the head. Women with big, daring, dark eyes and dimples wear the squash well down, at an almost perilous angle, over their brows, filling in the upturned rear of the velvet pudding with clouds of ostrich feathers or handfuls of chenille and velvet flowers. The woman who knows the value of her profile thoughtfully places her dahlia velvet and mink Lamballe, that has a center of shrimp pink roses, a trifle abaft of her right ear, so that the frame of rich velvet brings out all the cameo effect of her features when her head is turned a little. A squash hat that is a Lamballe pure and simple boasts a wreath of stemless flowers, set flat on the edge of the brim, while the true Anne Boleyn is more suited to the owner of a Madonna countenance, for in front it lifts up from the face over the Pompadour and glitters with a long cut steel buckle or a jewel hilted stiletto thrust through the forward knot of panne velvet—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. THE CELERY SEASON. A Variety of Useful Recipes For Preparing This Luxury. Stewed Celery.—Break apart and wash very carefully three heads of good celery; cut off the green portions and leave the outside stalks to season soups; cut the celery into pieces an inch long and add just enough boiling water to cover them; add salt to the water before putting in the celery; boil slowly. When tender, drain and place neatly on a vegetable dish, sprinkling with pepper. Blend a teaspoonful of corn starch with two tablespoonfuls of butter and some rich cream; stir this into some of the water in which the celery was boiled and boil until it thickens. If too thick add more of the celery water. Pour over the celery bits and serve very hot. Celery Sauce.—Boll for one hour two heads of celery chopped fine. Add a plint and a half of water and two tablespoonfuls of flour moistened with water. Boil ten minutes, stir in two tablespoonfuls of butter, season with pepper and salt and serve. Escaloped Celery.-Two bunches celery, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 cup hot celery water, 1/2 cup thick cream, 2 level tablespoonfuls of butter, 2 level tablespoonfuls of entire wheat flour, 1-4 teaspoon paprika, 2 eggs, 3-4 cup rolled and sifted toast crumbs. Wash, scrape and cut the celery into small pieces, boil till tender. Just before removing from the fire salt; let come to hard boil for two minutes. Drain, return to saucepan with 1/2 cup celery water, 1/2 cup of cream in which has been mixed the flour and butter blended. Season (after boiling) with more salt and paprika; cook three minutes and cool. Butter a pudding dish, cover bottom and side with rolled toast crumbs. When the celery is cold add two well-beaten eggs and pour into the dish. Cover the top thickly with crumbs and little bits of butter, cover and bake in hot oven half an hour; then remove cover and brown; serve hot. Cream of Celery Soup—One head celery, 1 pint water, 1 pint milk, 1 tablespoonful butter, 1 tablespoonful flour, 1 small onion, 1 tablespoon salt, $ \frac{1}{2} $ saltspoonful white pepper. Wash and scrape celery, cut it into half-inch pieces, put it into the pot of boiling water and cook until it is very tender. When done, mash it in the water in which it has been boiled, add salt and pepper. Cook the onion in the milk, and with it make a white sauce with the butter and flour; add this to the celery and strain it through a soup strainer, pressing and mashing with the back of a spoon until all but a few tough fibers are through. Return the soup, in a double boiler, to the fire; heat until it is steaming, when it is ready to serve. By substituting chicken broth for water, and using celery salt instead of fresh celery when it is out of season, a very fair soup flavored with celery may be made. Celery Salad—Select not too large, nor course-looking, stalks; cut off the root end; divide the single stalks and wipe carefully. Cut each piece into inch and a half pieces, and split these twice lengthwise. Mix in a salad bowl with a liberal quantity of mayonnaise salad dressing. Hints About Soup. In advice about soup making you will frequently be reminded that the scum which rises to the surface when preparing the stock should be removed. There is no reason in thus removing what is in reality meat juice coagulated by the heat. If you allow it to remain until the boiling point is reached it will disappear in the stock and increase its value. When preparing chicken stock put the fowl, disjointed, in cold water sufficient to cover it and let it slowly heat to boiling point. Reserve the breast, however, and when the water is boiling place it on the top of the other pieces, where it will steam without being under water. Cover the kettle closely and let it simmer for at least four hours. The breast will then be in good condition to use in salads or in any dish requiring chicken meat, while the stock is ready for use. KABBIT, NOT KAREBIT Proper Way to Spell the Favo Product of the Chafing Dish. It is high time that all lovers English should unite in common test against that barbarous colloquia For Frying Olive oil is superior to lard for frying, since it can be heated to a much higher temperature without burning than can be lard or meat drippings. Lard, however, is better than butter. In fact, butter will burn before it has reached the degree of heat necessary for cooking food and it is therefore never used for frying. Fat of any sort is hot enough to fry properly when a blue smoke rises from it. It may be tested by putting a slice of raw potato into it. If the fat has reached the proper degree of heat the potato will brown. Black Half Sleeves. One does not care to have all one's bodies alike, so the dressmaker substitutes an undersleeve of black safin, or better still, of black panne velvet, on the fore arm of a cloth waist, in preference to affixing the white "half-sleeve" formerly omnipresent. The undersleeve seems to be a fixture this winter and, welcome or not, is here to stay, at least through the season. The economical girl is chopping off the sleeve of last winter's cloth gown and putting in undersleeves a la mode. AN INDIAN GIRL'S FORTUNE, The Cattleman Left Her a Million in Thanks For a Timely Warning. Annie. Trucheart Dillion, a pretty Kiowa girl about 14 years old, dangger of Black Wolf, a noted chief of his tribe, is sole heiress to an entire fortune of $1,000,000 and more loft by John Dillion, a rich cattleman who about seven years ago was saved from death at the hands of a half-breed assassin by this little girl, says the Denver Times. Dillon was born and raised in Ireland, and when he came to America he went to Texas and worked on a ranch in that State as a laborer and cowboy. By careful management he became rich. From his cattle ranch on the Rio Grande he shipped every year large herds of cattle to the Indian Territory to fatten upon the fine pasture lands of that favored region during the spring and summer. He had been in this business so long that he was pretty well acquainted with nearly all of the Kiowa chiefs and various members of the nation, and from the fact that he had always dealt fairly with his red brothers he was popular. He leased vast acres of pasture lands every year, and he was always prompt in payment of the rents. Seven years ago the old Texan had in his employ a half-breed Cherokee, Bill Hawk. The Texan one day had decided to go out to a pasture about ten miles from Chickasha, where he had a fine head of cattle that were being looked after by some of his favorite Texan cowboys, and he asked Hawk to hitup a buggy and go with him. The road to the pasture passed through a small Indian village, where Dillon had many acquaintances. When the old man reached this place several Indians and half-breeds gathered about the buggy and begged him to stay over night. "You are just in time," said his friend, Black Wolf. "We are going to have a dance to-night." This information pleased the rich Texan, and he at once got out of his buggy. Late in the night the old Texan felt something pulling at his arms, and when he opened his eyes he found that a little Indian girl was trying to waken him. As soon as the child saw that his eyes were open she whispered: "Dillion, now you go putty quick. Hawk heap bad man. Putty soon he come. He got big knife-kill white man-take hoss—take heap money. Me hear him talk. Him heap drunk. You go now." The child ran away and Dillon slipped from under his blankets and rolled them together. After placing his hat at one end of the roll and his boots at the other he crawled away a short distance and lay down under a tree to watch for future developments. He did not wait long before he saw a man cautiously approach the pile of blankets. The drunken assassin was deceived by the hat and boots. He thought his victim was at his mercy, and he drew a big knife from his belt and drove it into the roll of blankets with all his strength. The next instant Hawk sprang into the air with a wild yell and fell dead across the blankets with a bullet in his heart. Dillon had killed him. The old Texan never afterward was the same man. He continued to attend to his business and make money, but it was easy to see that there was a cloud on his mind. He became devotedly attached to the Indian girl who had saved his life, and he finally got the chief's consent to let him educate her and make her his heir. She was to be given to him when she became 14 years old, but he died a short time ago, and now the girl's future and fortune are in the hands of important persons. John Rogers, of Presidio, who was in the millionaire's employ for nearly a quarter of a century, is the executor of his will, and he says that the Indian girl will inherit a fortune of $1,000,000 in cash that is with a safe deposit company in New York, and besides this, when she is of legal age or when she marries she will come into possession of a fine ranch on the Rio Grande that is stocked with cattle and one of the prettiest bacidas in Old Mexico. The Bishop of Monterey will be the girl's guardian, and he will superintend her education. He has selected an accomplished young woman of San Antonio to be the girl's companion. She will take her benefactor's name. He gave to her the additional name of Trucheart, which seems to please her and her parents. Proper Way to Spell the Favored Product of the Chafing Dish. It is high time that all lovers of English should unite in common protest against that barbarous collection of words "Welsh rarebit." Every how and then in the past some good man has raised his voice in a plea for the right phrase, "Welsh rabbit," and has then disappeared. Such staccato protests have proved unavailing. The word rarebit ans now insinuated itself upon 80 per cent of all the menus in New York. The staccater hotels caught the habit from the greater ones. The French and German hostleries imitated their American contemporaries. Nor is this the worst. Owers of chop houses and restaurants flaunt the offensive word on their gilded sign boards in the very faces of the public at large. Now, why is this? Not a dictionary of to-day sanctions the use of "rarebit," though in a temporary aberration of judgment Worcester and Webster once did. Perhaps hotel men are too busy to consult dictionaries. Then let them hearken to the indirect reproof they are continuously receiving from their customers. I have been in many, many places where the menus announce "rarebits." I have never heard any one order anything else than a rabbit. Nay, the very waiter says "Welsh rabbit." That is, indeed, one of the most curious of all philological feats—that by which some amateur, etymologist of the past forced the wrongful substitution of "rarebit" for "rabbit" upon the world. It has even been a common habit with the etymologists of this breed when the meaning of a word does not seem obvious to him to remedy the difficulty by a slight change that makes it seems superficially reasonable. Coming across the term "Welsh rabbit," he gazed through solemn spectacles at this mare's nest and decided unt a bit of toasted cheese could not by any stretch of the imagination he considered a game animal, though it might well be a "aure bit," so he jumped at the conclusion that time and the corruptions which time effects must have done their evil work upon this word. Hence he decided to restore it to its original beauty and significance. Hence "Welsh rarebit." Now this is all wrong. "Welsh rabbit" is a genuine bit of slang belonging to a large class of similar terms describing in mock heroic language the favorite dish or special product of a particular district. Here are a few examples that are absolutely analogous. In London a sheep's head stewed with onions is called a "Field lane duck." Potatoes are "Irish apricots" and "Munster plums." A herring is called in different localities of England a "Digby chicken," a "Norfolk capon," a "Dunbar wether," or a "Gourock ham." In France it is humorous to call a herring a "poulet de careme" (Lenten fowl). In our own country, in New England, codfish is frequently known as "Cape Cod turkey." Similar examples abound in the language of every country. Yet in the face of all these analogies the anathem: etymologist refuses to accept the common-sense explanation that the name "Welsh rabbit" is simply a humorous recognition of Taffy's fondness for toasted cheese.—New York Herald. Story of a Lost Ring. Story of a Lost Ring. I was told a true lost ring story the other day, which I believe has never seen print, although such may be the case. A well-known society woman suddenly missed a valuable diamond ring from her finger. It was a ring she seldom removed, but all that could be remembered about it was that she had just washed her hands. Fearing it had slipped off in the operation, the plumber was quickly called in and all the traps opened, with the faint hope of finding the jewel, but without avail; and sorrow reigned in the household, for the diamond was not only intrinsically valuable, but a dearly prized souvenir. Some time later the set bowl in the bath room had to be replaced and when it was removed, lo and behold, crowded in behind the water pipes, was the skeleton of a mouse, and round the skeleton's thread of a neck hung a diamond ring! Identification was immediate, and the mystery quickly cleared up by the poor little beast. He had feasted on a box of bran which milady kept to whiten her own fair hands, and into which she undoubtedly dropped the ring. Mouse, through vanity or accident, slipped it over his head, but in trying to escape with the loot died a felon's death. Boston Herald. Fine Sarcasm. Four or five drummers, after their day's work was over and their dinners stowed away, were talking about the various cities of the United States which they had visited in the course of their business experience. New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston were left in the list of the undecided when a New York man appealed to a veteran who had been reading a newspaper during the discussion. "You know the country pretty well, I guess, Major?" said the New Yorker. "Fairly, I should say," was the reply. "I've been traveling over it for thirty years." "Well, what would you say was the best town in the United States." "Chicago," responded the Major, promptly. "Aw," exposulated the New Yorker, "we don't mean morally," whereupon the Major hastened to apologize. —Washington Star. An Artist's Candor.

The ancient system of apprenticeship, still in force in Europe, has a parallel in Japan—like so many other Western customs. In Japan, too, it has been nudged down for centuries, and it remains to day one of the most picturesque and little known elements of Japanese civilization, and of interest to all who have a soft spot in their hearts for small boys. The little Japanese apprentice is called a "kozo" and he belongs to a poor or middle class family who can not undertake the burden of his support and education in the home. To apprentice a boy to some useful trade-means to make a good provision for his future, and the Japanese idea seems to be that the sooner this arrangement is made, the better. When the parents have decided upon what calling the son shall enter, or have found a good opening for him, perhaps in the business of a friend, he leaves home with his parents and is bound over to his new master with a long career before him as "kozo" before he can aspire to be, a workman with wages and finally a master himself if he develops any ability in his trade. The first born son in an Oriental family is of so much importance that in Japan he rarely becomes a "kozo" unless his parents are too overly-strenken to support him but that does not often happen in a country where living is so cheap that small ones can be reared at the cost of a few "sons" a day. If economizing must be done, it is the unfortunate younger sons who suffer by it, and are generally apprenticed. Most of the "kozos" in a Japanese city are country boys, so that when they leave their homes they may not return again for many years. It is not uncommon for a child to become a "kozo" at the age of 5 or 6 years. If the master considers the boy bright and strong, and likely to do well in the trade, he pays the parents a good sum of money, and agrees to give the boy a home, food and clothing until he is 18, when the apprenticeship is over. The name, by the way, means "little priest". Inquiry does not develop the reason why this term is applied to them. Some say that it is because the "kozos" shave their heads; still their hair is allowed to grow out again and not kept shaved like that of the priests. The "kozo" leads a busy life, to be sure; one that is filled with work from early in the morning till late at night, but he rarely receives unkind words or neglect, or suffers hardship, according to the Japanese conception. Probably a small American boy of any class would object to working as hard as the average Japanese apprentice. The Japanese are a race uniformly gentle in their relations with each other, and harsh words are rarely heard, so the "kozo" is sure of a home where he not only has all the rice that is good for him to eat, but is free from the nagging which people are so apt to give other people's children. The "kozos" are to be seen every where in the streets in Japan, and in all the stores. If they are apprentice to a "tabl" matter (the "tabl" are the white cotton socks with a separate place for the big toe) he sits all day on the little platform within the door of the shop, stitching away on the white socks, and deftly fitting in the lory fastenings. Generally there are four or five at work at once, and the eldest is put in charge. He checks all unseemly mirth in the presence of a customer, and interferes when conversation becomes too loud and turns into squabbling, for small boys are much the same the world over. In the streets "kozos" with their masters' name printed on the front or back of their blue cotton frocks, which with skin-tight trousers of the same color, make their costume, trundle carts with humber and carpenters' tools, or charcoal, or some kind of grain. Generally the marks of their avocation are so smeared over their round countenances that it is superfluous to look at the cart to see what they are doing. They always seem good natured and happy, and have a glow of health on their brown checks which anybody might envy. "Kozos" have two holidays only during the entire year, and one wonders whether they were selected because they seemed the most appropriate for the little wretches or whether it just happened that way, for they are the two holidays which appear on the Buddhist calendar as off days in the Buddhist purgatory, or hell. Of course such a place never existed in the early Buddhism, but it has gradually grown in the imagination of devout believers and the list of the torments is catalogued. The unfortunate spirits consigned to this place suffer from every ingenious method of torture ever devised in the human mind, but there are two days when this is remitted and they are allowed to enjoy life and recuperate. These are the two days on which the "kozos" are allowed to do the same, and great days they are, and looked forward to through all the hard labor of the rest of the year. The master always supplies pocket money to the extent of 2 yen ($1) which is a large sum for any Japanese child to spend, and most of it goes for as large a variety of candy and cakes and other edibles as the boy can find. It is the ambition of every "kozo" true to the traditions of his guild to eat so much and in such peculiar combinations that he will be unable to work for several days following, and he generally succeeds. With all their abandonment to the unrestricted pleasures of the day, they seldom forget to visit the temple of Kwannon, the goddess of mercy, where they stand reverently before her shrine and say a few prayers, their belts stuffed with good things to eat and their faces smeared with the same. Before they leave they give a few copper "rin" to the godless. This never forgotten offering of prayer and money is the most unconsciously pathetic incident in the mottonous existence of the hard-worked little "kozo." Congressman Sperry Built the Monitor. Congressman Sperry, of Connecticut, ought to have a memorial medal from Congress. He was largely responsible for the building of the gunboat Monitor, which defeated the Marriac in Hampton Roads, and which revolutionized the architecture of naval ships. "I put every cent I possessed into the Monitor, he said. "The vessel was built at Greenpoint, opposite New York, and we had to supply our own funds, because the Navy Department did not look with favor upon our idea. Indeed, the Government would not even agree to take the bont until after she had demonstrated that she could whip anything float. It was an anxious period for us while she was being built, for not only were we financially interested, but we felt that the fate of the Nation in large measure depended upon the success which attended our undertaking." How-Wait Whitman Helped George W. Childs. A Congressman from Philadelphia tells the following interesting story: The poet Walt Whitman was, as is well known, dependent during most of his life upon the gladness of his friends and admirers for a support. A few years before his death one of these friends called upon him in his little house in Camden, a suburban town of Philadelphia. "Well. Wait," he said, "how goes it this winter? Any subscription needed for Christmas?" "No," said Wuitman; "no, I'm at work now. I'm in the employ of George Childs. He pays me $50 a month." "You at work! May I ask what is your occupation?" "Why, I ride in the street cars. I fall into talk with the drivers and conductors, and find out which of them have no overcoats and guess at their size and notify Childs, and then he sends the overcoats. It's not hard work," said the poet, thoughtfully. "And then, you know, it helps Childs along." HER-HEART WAS TOUCHED. A Senth Dakota Mother and Her Little Girl Expresses Their Gratitude in Folsom, Cusier Co., South Dakota, Dec. 10—(Special).—Mrs. H. D. Hyde has given for publication a letter expressing her unbounded gratitude to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the double cure of herself and little daughter. Mrs. Hyde has been troubled with pains in her heart for over three years, and for a long time her little girl suffered from weak kidneys. The grateful lady does not seem able to find words strong enough to express her gratitude. She has written the following: I cannot say too much in praise of Dodd's Kidney Pills. They are the greatest kidney and heart medicine I ever used. I had been troubled for over three years with a severe pain in my heart, which entirely disappeared after I had taken a few doses of Dodd's Kidney Pills. I also gave them to my little girl, whose kidneys had been weak, and she commenced to improve from the very first dose. Dodd's Kidney Pills are certainly a wonderful medicine. I would be pleased to have this, my statement, published, as I feel it my duty to let others know just what the Pills will do for them. MRS. H. D. HYDE. Dodd's Kidney Pills always cure. 50c a. box.
