The Political Situation EX-GOV. P. B. S. PINCHBACK. What He Said to a Representative of The Bee. Ex-Governor P. B. S. Pinchback, who came from Baltimore, Md., a few days ago to this city, to attend the Douglass Memorial, was met by a Bee representative Tuesday, who put to him several questions concerning politics. He was asked as follows: What do you think of the campaign? The present campaign is a momentous one for the country, and a very serious one for the colored people. It will determine which of the two great parties — the Republican or the Democrat — shall have control of its great National Government for the next four years at least, and possibly for many more years. What is your opinion of the candidates? Either that splendid man and well-equipped statesman, William H.Taft, or WilliamH.Bryan will be the next president. The candidates of the other parties are not in the running. The platforms of the two parties speak for themselves. The records of each are well known. The Republican party was born in the cradle of liberty, and has ever been the champion of freedom and equality before the law for all mankind. Under its administration of the government, prosperity, peace and happiness have been the common lot of the people and the republic has been elevated to the exalted rank of an acknowledged world-power of which every other nation must stand up and take notice. In short, the Republican party is safe and sane, and both worthy and capable of admiinstering the National Government in the best interest of all the people. Its platform is outspoken and clean-cut on all the important questions and issues in which the people are vitally concerned, and its candidate for the presidency stands flat-footed on the platform. In my opinion he is sure of election. So far as I can observe there is but one element of weakness confronting us over-confidence. The Democratic candidate, it is said, is the same old Bryan; but he is going for the presidency on different lines from those he employed in his former campaigns. Evidently he believes in the lesson we were taught at school, viz.: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. He has discarded; seemingly, all of the dangerous fads and issues which characterised his entrance into public life, and now assumes the virtue of reformation even if he has it not. It will not be prudent for our party managers to rate him too cheaply. The Democratic platform is also outspoken on all the issues save one; and that one is the issue of issues, so far as the colored people are concerned. It is the rights and privileges of the Negro. To me, this omission is significant. In truth, it becomes doubly so when we recall Mr. Bryan's reference, in his speech of acceptance, to platfroms being binding on what they omit as well as what they contain. The Southern, which is the dominant, wing of his party is in favor of the repeal of the three war amendments, especially the Fifteenth. This amendment is the sheet anchor of Negro citizenship. Its elimination from the Constitution would be calamitous in the extreme to the colored race, and might lead to his disfranchisement in every State in the Union. If there were no other reasons why colored voters should vote against him, in my opinion this is sufficient. But there are many others, too numerous to mention. WANTS JUSTICE DONE TO NEGRO. Noted Educator Requests the World TIVENTY-FIVE NEGROES HAVE BEEN LYNCHED WITHIN SIXTY DAYS. Mob Law Terrifies Innocent, Emboldens Vicious — No Sympathy With Crime. (By telegraph to the Editor of The World.) Baltimore, August 19. - Within the past sixty days twenty-five Negroes have been lynched in different parts of the United States. Of this number only four were even charged with criminal assault upon women. Nine were lynched in one day on the charge of being connected with murder. Four were lynched in one day on the charge that they passed resolutions in a lodge approving the murder of an individual. Three were lynched in one day on the charge that they had taken part in the burning of a gin house. The others were lynched for miscellaneous reasons. One was publicly burned in open daylight in the presence of women and children, after oil had been poured upon his body, at Greenville, Texas, and reports state that a thousand people witnessed the spectacle in the open square of the town. One other victim was eighty years of age. How long can our Christian civilization stand this? I am making no special plea for the Negro, innocent or guilty, but I am calling attention to the danger that threatens our civilization. Condemns Negro Loafers. For the Negro criminal, and especially for the Negro loafer, gambler and drunkard, I have nothing but the severest condemnation, and no legal punishment* is too severe for the brute that assaults a woman. It requires no courage for five hundred men to tie the hands of an individual to the stake or to hang or shoot him. But young men and boys who have once witnessed or who have read in the papers of these exciting scenes of burnings and lynchings often get the idea that there is something heroic in attacking some individual in the community who is least able to defend himself. No doubt the people who engage in lynchings, and excuse them, believe that they will have the effect of striking terror to the guilty. But who shall say whether the persons lynched are guilty? There is no way of distinguishing the innocent from the guilty except by due process of law. That is what courts are for. Those who have examined into the facts know only too well that in the wild justice of the mob it is frequently the innocent man who is executed. Terrify the Innocent. These lynchings terrify the innocent, but they embolden the criminal. The criminal knows it is much easier to escape the mad fury of the mob than the deliberate vengeance of the law. But no man is so innocent that he can be safe at all times from the frenzy of the mob. Statistics how that during the past ten years an average of thirty-two Negroes a year have been lynched on the charge of assaulting women. Granting that thirty-two per year are guilty, is that a just reason for condemning over three million adult Negro men who have no part in such crimes? Are we as a nation to allow thirty-two criminals a year out of a race of ten millions of people to throw us into a frenzy and change the complexion of our civilization so that we are held up to foreign nations as an uncivilized people not governed by law or order? Again I would say I am not making any special plea for the Negro, but because I feel that lynching is not only wrong, but a mistake — an awful mistake. Effect of Mob Justice. Mob justice undermines the very foundation upon which our civilization rests, viz., respect for the law and confidence of its security. There are, in my opinion, two remedies First of all, let us unite in a determined effort everywhere to see that the law is enforced, that all people at all times and all places see that the man charged with crime is given a fair trial. Secondly,let all good citizens unite in an effort to rid the communities, especially the large cities, of the idle, vicious and gambling element. And in this connection I would not be just and would not be frank unless I stated that the betters of the black race could use their influence, espe- DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. His Noble Defense of the Negro. cially in the cities, to see that the idle element that lives by its wits without permanent or reliable occupation or place of abode is either reformed or gotten rid of in some manner. In most cases it is this element that furnishes the powder for these explosions. Booker T. Washington. DR. WASHINGTON AN EXPERT SWIMMER. Special to The Bee. Dr. Booker T.

TABLE DELICACIES DISHES THAT ART WORTH AD ING TO THE DAILY MENU. Gooseberry Pudding a Splendid Des seri—Brown Chicken Fricasses —Flounders in a New Green Gooseberry Pudding.—Boll a pint of green gooseberries till soft, and sweeten to taste. When quite cold mix in thoroughly four well-beaten eggs and one ounce of butter. Butter a mold and sprinkle it thickly with equal parts of sugar and fine bread crumbs, then pour in the gooseberry purée, being careful not to disturb the easing; cover the top nearly half an inch thick with crumbs and sugar, and bake for an hour. When taken from the oven cover with a cloth, and only turn out when wanted. Serve with slotted or whipped cream. Mushrooms Stewed with Cream. This is a favorite recipe. Prepare a pound of mushrooms by paring off the ends. Clean and wash well and if very large cut in halves. Drain and place in a saucepan with three ounces of butter. Season with salt and pepper and cook five minutes. Add two tablespoonfuls of the white sauce made from a tablespoonful butter and one of flour, blended, then cooked with three-fourths cup milk to a smooth cream. Add also a half cupful of sweet cream to the mushrooms, cook three minutes longer and serve in a hot dish with eight heart-shaped bread croutons for garnish. Sauce for Mushrooms.—Put three tablespoonfuls olive oil in a saucepan with one teaspoonful each of minced parsley and anchovies and a clove of crushed garlic. Heat five minutes, add to mushrooms that have been stewed in oil and serve. Sauce for Stewed Mushrooms.—Peel and remove the stalks from some large mushrooms, wash and cut in halves. Put two tablespoonfuls butter in a saucepan with two tablespoonfuls flour. When blended add a cup and a half hot milk and stir until smooth and thickened. Add the mushrooms, season with salt, pepper and a little powdered mace, and simmer gently until the mushrooms are tender. When cooked, turn on a hot dish, garnish with fried croutons or bread and serve. Brown Chicken Fricassee.—For a brown chicken fricassee, Creole style, cut up the chicken in the usual way and fry in equal quantities lard and butter until nearly tender and brown. Dredge a little flour into the gravy and brown. Add a pint of boiling water, a small onion minced, a quart of potatoes and a small bunch of parsley. Summer gently an hour or until very tender, and serve with rice. If preferred the rice may be added and cooked with the stew. Flounders in a New Way.—Flounders are good fried in the ordinary way in crumbs or in flour, and especially nice if melted butter seasoned with lemon juice and chopped parsley is passed with them; but here is quite a new way of cooking them: Wash the flounder and wipe it dry; lay it in a roasting-pan on top of two tablespoonfuls of minced onion, and sprinkle it with salt and pepper and tablespoonful of chopped parsley. Left-Over Eggs. Eggs that have been hard boiled and sent to the table and untouched can be sliced and dressed with mayonnaise. Fried eggs can be run through food chopper, mixed with potatoes and cooked in potato balls. Poached eggs should be reheated and cooked done and run through a ricer to add to salads. Boiled or fried eggs if run through a ricer and mixed with finely chopped meat make good croquettes. If the yolk of an egg is used and the white is left, beat it and stir into apple sauce. A broken egg can be covered with water, placed in the refrigerator and will keep for several days. Cherry Pudding. Put into a saucepan two tablespoonfuls of butter with two tablespoonfuls of flour; blend well together over a gentle fire; add one pint of milk very gradually and stir until boiling; pour over a quarter pound of bread crumbs; add grated rind of one lemon, four tablespoonfuls of sugar, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, quarter pound of cherries cut in halves and three well-beaten eggs. Pour into a mold well-greased and decorated with cherries at the bottom. Cover with buttered paper and steam two hours. Changing the Bed Linen. Arrange to change the bed linen on the day you sweep your bedrooms. The soiled sheets may thus be drawn over the newly made beds to keep the dust from the spread and pillows. It will take but a few moments to remove these sheets and shake out of doors before consigning them to the clothes hamper. Nut Candy. Boil one quart of sirup, three cups granulated sugar, butter half size of egg. two tablespoons of vinegar until it is hard when dropped in water, add half teaspoon sofa the last thing; spread nut meats in tins. Pqr candy thin sheets over the nuts. Dr. Anita Augspu² Has Served Many Prison Terms for Her Cause. Berlin.—Fraulein Dr. Anita Augspurg, leader of the German claimants of votes for women in Germany, has served 70 terms in prison for her insistence in behalf of her cause, and probably holds the record. "The Anita," is her followers call her, recently attracted attention again by her repudiation of the social democrats in the name of the woman suffrage movement. The socialists have long been looked upon as the especial DR. ANITA AUGSPURG friends of the advocates of "votes for women." The movements of no other woman in Germany outside of the members of the royal family are followed more closely by the public than those of Dr. Augspurg. She is a familiar figure in almost every part of the German empire, her mass of short, curly hair, and close-fitting reform garb making her an easy mark for the curious. It is Dr. Augspurg's tongue which has landed her so often behind prison bars. She is a fearless speaker, and in a country like Germany her opinions on the equality of the sexes are regarded as little short of revolutionary. Her latest sojourn in prison was the consequence of a few remarks on the Hamburg police, after witnessing an attempt to quell a street riot. She was a born orator and politician. She has that greatest of all gifts for speaking, personal magnetism. This German woman is a lawyer. She is practically the mother of the women's movement in Germany. In 1902 she founded the Woman's Suffrage league, of which she is now president. The career of Dr. Augspurg is an example of the triumph of a strong-minded woman over the conventions that hedge about the sex in Germany. Practically her whole life has been a preparatory school for the unique position which she now holds. She was raised in a family of jurists. MERCHANT MARINE LEAGUE. Joseph G. Butler of Youngstown, O. Elected President. Youngstown, O.—Joseph G. Butler, Jr., of this city, who has been elected president of the Merchant Marine League of the United States, has been for many years general manager of the Brier Hill Iron & Coal company, and is a recognized authority on pig iron. When the Bessemer Pig Iron association was first formed Mr. Butler was chosen as chairman, and he JOSEPH G. - BUTLER JR. still occupies that position. He has been connected with iron manufacture since boyhood and is considered to be one of the chief authorities in the United States on its furnaces, coke and iron ore matters. Mr. Butler is reputed to be a seven student of men and affairs and long has been interested in the work of the Merchant Marine league. He succeeds Harvey D. Goulder, who resigned the presidency. Victory for Norwegian Women. After granting women the parliamentary suffrage. Norway has done a step further and voted to give all women employed in the postal service the same pay as the men. Norwegian women have struggled for this point for several years Treasurers Guarded by Dogs. The treasures of the Louvre are now guarded by watchdogs TRY THIS ORANGE CUSTARD. Confection That Will Be Appreciated on a Hot Day. A delightful dessert, called orange custard, is made by taking the juice of a sweet erf and half the rind, which har be filled until tender. After it has cooled and has been beaten fine in a mortar, a teaspoonful of brandy should be added with the orange juice, half a cup or more of granulated sugar and the yolks of four eggs. Into this mixture is poured two cups of boiled cream or rich milk, and the whole beaten until the custard is cold; then it should be poured into custard cups, with a bit of preserved orange placed on the top of each cup, and served at once or set away to cool. Butter and orange juice is prepared by mixing the juice of three sweetened oranges with as many teaspoonfuls of rose water, then adding the well-beaten yolks of six eggs, the whites of four and two cupfuls of powdered sugar. The mixture should be stirred over a slow fire till it thickens, then a table-spoonful of butter should be poured into a dessert dish and set away to cool. VIENNOISE PUDDING 18 GOOD. Dessert Dish That Should Be Served with Sweet Sauce. Put two tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar into a small pan, over the fire; let it melt and become a rich brown color, but not black; allow to cool for a few minutes, then add three-quarters of a pint of milk. It will at first cause the sugar to set in a hard lump. That is quite right; merely stir it over the fire for a few minutes, and as the milk becomes hot the sugar will remelt. Mix together in a basin three ounces of cleaned sultana raisins, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, the grated rind and strained juice of one small lemon and five ounces of bread cut into small cubes like ordinary dice. Add the colored milk and allow to remain in a cool place for ten minutes. Beat up two eggs and add them with one glass of home-made wine. Let soak for 15 minutes. Pour the mixture into a buttered mold. Twist a piece of buttered paper over the top. Put the mold in the steamer for about one hour. Turn out and serve with sweet sauce. Crystal Mints. Add to one pound pulverized sugar enough cold water to make a very thick paste. Wet the sugar all through, but do not have it in the least thin or watery. Bring to a boll, taking care to stir enough to keep from burning. The paste thins as it heats and it can be easily stirred. Just as it bolls take it from the fire, put in a few drops of oil of peppermint, tasting the mixture to see when the flavor is strong enough. Go cautiously, as the oil is very powerful. Mix well so that the flavor goes all through the mixture, then chop from the end of the spoon on any hard, smooth surface—a large plate will do. The mixture should form round drops that harden at once. If the sugar becomes too thick before you have the drops all made heat again and if absolutely necessary add a few drops of water, but be sparing of this or you will get the mixture too thin. Fresh Rolls Dally. When molding out the loaves set aside any desired quantity of the dough into the ice box. If kept perfectly cold this will remain sweet an indefinite time and can be shaped into rolls, used as basis for a raisin bread, coffee cake, or in any way desired. Allow about $2\frac{1}{2}$ hours in a warm place for raising the dough. If rolls are desired for-breakfast mold them the last thing before retiring and set them where they will not be too warm. They will be ready for the oven in the morning. In this way fresh bread stuff in a variety of kinds may be had all through the week. For raisin bread add to two cups of the dough two-thirds of a cup of sugar and a cup of seeded raisins. Mix thoroughly and let raise three hours. Pineapple Jam. Peel and grate as many pineapples as are desired, remembering that the sugar loaf pine is best for the purpose. Welgh and allow an equal weight of sugar. Let the sugar and pineapple heat gradually for 20 minutes, then simmer steadily after the srup reaches the boiling point for nearly an hour or until it becomes a clear amber jelly that thickens as it cools. If extremely juicy some of the liquor may be strained from the fruit and canned separately, to be used in the punch bowl. Baste Perforation Marks. Instead of using lead pencils, chalk, trading wheels to mark perforations when cutting out a pattern, run a basting thread through each perforation. Leave it a good length, knot at each end, and when pattern is removed pull double folds of material apart, cut thread in center, and knot ends. By this method the material is not disfigured, perforations are exactly where they should be, and only one planning on pattern is necessary. Chilled Cream. Into a double boiler, beat the yolks of six eggs, add to them three ounces of grated chocolate, quarter of a pound of sugar and one pint of rich cream. Stir one way constantly until it thickens. Strain off into a large bowl. Beat half a pint of cream until very thick and add to this an ounce and a half of dissolved gelatin. Mix this very lightly with the chocolate and cream, then pour into a mold and put on the ice to harden. HAVE COOL DINING-ROOM. Apartment May Be Kept Pleasant with a Little Care. A cool dining-room is one of the greatest blessings one can possess in summer, but if one's room is not cool on account of its location it can be kept cool with not a great deal of difficulty. Air the house thoroughly in the morning before the sun guts hot, and then close the windows to the very bottom and pull the shades all the way down. Close the door leading into the kitchen to keep the odor of the cooking out of the dining-room. If the room despite these precautions gets hot and sultry wring some cloths out of cold water and hang them in front of the window, which you have partially opened, and allow the breeze to blow through the wet cloths until they are dried. Quickly close the windows and place a dish or pail of cold water in the middle of the room. As soon as the water becomes warm remove it from the room. Even on the most sultry, muggy day this method will seldom fall to cool and refresh the air of the room. Adding a drop of two oil of lavender to the water will give the room a delicate, indistinct order and will drive away any files which chance to be there. The Home. Salt sprinkled around the drains is a simple and inexpensive disinfectant. If hooks for the bathroom, kitchen and pantry are dipped in enamel paint there will be no trouble from iron rust. Maple sirup which has fermented and become sour can be freshened by heating to the boiling point and adding a little soda. Stir thoroughly, then skim. It is said if the upper sash of a window is drawn down to the sill, the lower one pushed to within two or three inches of the top of the window, it will give a good circulation in a sleeping room, yet the draft will not be noticed. To clean swansdown make a warm soap lather and in this gently knead the swansdown till clean. Then rinse in fresh cold water to which a little blue has been added. Shake well and hang in the air to dry, shaking from time to time to make the down fluffy. Lemon Ginger Bear This beverage should be made a couple of days before using. Pour two gallons cold water over a half-dozen lemons sliced thin, add a pound and a half sugar and a scant ounce ginger root. Let this come to a boll then add a tablespoonful cream of tartar. Strain and set in a cool place. When nearly cold, add a yeast cake dissolved in a little lukewarm water, stir thoroughly, then set in a cool place over night. In the morning mix well and bottle, corking air tight, and lay the bottles on their sides in a cool place. A small bottle of Jamaica ginger extract may be used in place of the whole ginger, if preferred. Wash Silk Walst. Make a strong suds of white soap, borax and lukewarm water. Put waist in suds, let soak for 15 minutes, then lift waist up and down and rub soiled places with hands; do not use a board. Rinse in several cold waters and in the last a little borax and a piece of starch, size of a walnut, to about a gallon of water; then hang up to dry. When ready to iron, dampen thoroughly, let lie for a few minutes, then iron on wrong side with warm iron. I have treated a white china silk waist like this dozens of times and it always came out as white as new, with a slight stiffness which looks like new. Curcled Pork. Cut two and a half pounds of fresh pork into square pieces, fry them in a stew pan with a piece of butter. Chop four onions and fry them also, then mix them with the pork. Add one tablespoonful of curry powder, season with salt and pepper, pour in one pint of water or stock, set over the fire until boiling, stirring constantly. Draw to one side and simmer slowly for about three-quarters of an hour. When done take out the pieces of pork, boll the gravy and about half the quantity and pour it over the meat. Serve with rice. Stringency Pudding It is not an especial mark of economy to save the stale bread for pudding, and then put in an extra amount of eggs, butter, and sugar to make it good. The success lies in making the pudding cheap. Pour boiling water on a half pint of broken bread. When soft mix in any kind of fruit—stewed or fresh—and add a bit of butter and one egg. Spice and sugar to taste and bake 20 minutes. Make a sauce of the beaten white of the egg, flavored and sweetened. Improved Shortcake. A great improvement on strawberry shortcake is made by adding three sliced bananas to two boxes of the berries when preparing them for the cake. This brings out all the delicate flavor of the berry and imparts a most delicious flavor to the whole cake. Bleach Grass Stains. A good way to remove grass stains is to spread butter on them and lay the article in the hot sunshine. Cold water, a tablespoonful of ammonia, and soap will take out machine grease where other means would not answer on account of the color running. --- Wm.

Soak salt codfish several hours in plenty of cold water, put into cold water, and simmer gently about 15 minutes. Pleck into fine shreds and add the same amount of mashed potatoes. To creme quart of the mixture add two rounding tablespoons of butter, one beaten egg, and hot milk to molsten. Put into a buttered baking dish, brush over with soft butter, dredge lightly with flour, and bake un till brown on top. Serve with a sauce made from two level tablespoons of flour, four of butter, one cup of milk, and salt and pepper to season. Add a hard bolled egg chopped coarsely and heat well, then serve. A Substitute for Spinach The tender leaves of young beet tops or turnips may be used instead of sphach and make a pleasant change for the lover of greens. Thoroughly wash leaves to remove grit and boil until tender. Drain, press out the water and dress with butter, salt and pepper, stirring in a saucepan until thoroughly heated. The flavor is much improved if a little vinegar and oil are added on the table. This is better than serving it with the greens as many persons prefer the butter dressing. Porch Chair. Mend your porch chairs with picture wire. It is easy to work with and strong. Lace across the seat and back to make a straight surface. Paint with enamel or carriage paint. Make covers to suit.

Why Cakes Often Fall. Because Inferior Ingredients are used, such as rancid butter, inferior sugar, dainp, flour, and doubtful exces Because either the butter fs insu clently beaten with the sucar or rubbe!

Because the mixture fs beaten af'~ the flour is added. whereas all that should be done before. ‘The management of the oven ts not understood and the cakes are elther too dark or too pale.

The Republican meeting held under the auspices of the Epmire Republican Club, at True Reformers Hall, last Saturday evening, was a set-off to the one held under the auspices of the anti-Taft Republicans. The most surprising thing about the entire meeting was the absence of an indorsement of the Roosevelt policis and Mr.Taft. Not a spaker referred either to Mr.Taft or Mr. Roosevelt. The argument to be made by the Republican or the Democratic party should be supported by the colored Americans. It is a question of human rights and shal the colored American be permitted to enjoy them under the Constitution. Revs. Corrothers, Walters and others argue that the Republican party should be defeated. Their reasons are: First — The Republican party has deserted the colored Americans and left them to the mercy of the Democratic party. Second — They admit that the Democratic party is justified in disfranchising the colored Americans because they will not vote for that party. On the other hand, the advocates of Republican principles say: First — Replying to the first allegation, that it is unwise for colored men to go over to the enemy because of the alleged desertion. The party to which the colored Americans go has been inimical to the race and is doing everything to deprive the colored Americans of those rights which were given them by the Republican party. How can the Democratic party be justified in depriving the colored man of his vote because he refuses to vote for the man who enslaves him. Where is the consistency? There is a great deal for the colored man to learn. REPUBLICANS EULOGIZE. The oratory that was displayed last Saturday evening at the meeting held under the auspices of the Empire Republican Club was of a varied character. One speaker was very pronounced in declaring that no matter what the Democratic party did to the Negro or whatever the Republican party would do, he would vote the Republican ticket just the same. This is where colored orators lose their heads. Instead of colored men telling the truth, they present to Republican managers glittering generalities and misstatements. It should be borne in mind and Republican managers should be informed that dissatisfaction among colored voters is strong. If the sentiment in the States is as strong as it is in this city against the Republican party, there certainly cannot be smooth sailing. There is a great deal of opposition to the Republican ticket, and those who declare that there is none are certainly deceiving the party. While the meeting was largely attended last Saturday evening, it must be admitted that the enthusiasm that characterized the other meeting was lacking. There is something wrong. AUDITOR R. W. TYLER. [The people of this country are not aware that all colored office-holders are not alike. As a rule Republican administrations in recent years have appointed quite a number of apologists and trimmers to presidential positions. There is one man in this city in the person of the Auditor for the Navy Department who is an honor to his race and the position he holds. President Roosevelt made no mistake when he named Mr. Tyler. He is a manly man, and one in whom the people may place confidence. Since his appointment to his present position he has promoted meritorious colored employees in his office. He hasn't allowed his understrappers or deputies to run his office, and neither has he allowed any employee, white or colored, to be ill-treated by his understrappers. Such men honor the positions to which they are appointed. While it is true that Mr. Tyler was appointed to the position he occupies as the representative of his people, he treated all nationalities alike, and whenever an opportunity presents itself he sees that colored Americans get their share of the favors. THAT ANTI-WASHINGTON PARTY. The Bee does not take much stock in the report being circulated that a contingent in Washington, with Dr. W. T. Vernon, William Clifford and L. M. Hershaw at the head, have or are organizing an anti-Booker Washington party and will soon start a newspaper here to antagonize Dr. Washington and to put The Bee out of business. Putting The Bee out of business has been tried before, and failed. And as for Dr. Vernon heading an opposition party to Dr. Washington we can hardly conceive of such a move when we recall that when Dr. Vernon's confirmation was held up for months he sought the aid of Booker Washington, and possibly thereby saved himself from defeat. We are aware that an effort has been made to start a rival newspaper to The Bee, and Dr. Vernon was at the meeting, but as yet the paper has not materialized. When his confirmation was hanging in the balance it is a matter of history that The Bee supported him, and for which we received nor asked nothing. We don't take any stock in this report; but if true we warn certain little pot-house politicians without a following that they are running up against a brick wall. The Bee is here to stay, whether a rival sheet is started or not. The Bee welcomes another newspaper, or as many as they care to start, but if one is started with the expressed purpose of putting The Bee out of business, there will be a lot of business doing. Washington is full of rumors, and we know there are a few small-fry who are envious of Dr. Washington; but they are like flies to an elephant, compared to him. It takes not only brains but money to start newspapers. Look at the newspaper graveyard around Washington for proof. Fire when ready. REPUBLICANS ENDORSE MR. TAFT The meeting last Saturday night, under the auspices of the New York Empire Republican Club, at True Reformers' Hall, was a big success. The hall was packed and enthusiasm was ripe and rife. All the speakers were at their best, and it was a fine galaxy of speakers. It was the first meeting held here to, advance the cause of the Republican party and Candidate Taft during this campaign. The country has been led to believe that this city was the hotbed of Republican disaffection, but this meeting demonstrated that there are a lot of Negroes here loyal to the party. Rev. George Lee, in his inimitable way, and with droll humor, made a telling argument to show why the colored vote should support Taft. Attorney Harry Cummings, of Baltimore, made a splendid address. Roscoe Simmons, of the New York Review, proved himself a brilliant orator and received great applause. Attorney Thomas L. Jones, as usual, warmed the cockles in a masterly speech, and Hon. J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn., made a fine argumentative address to show why the colored man should support Taft and the Republican party. Take it all in all, it was the finest political meeting ever held in Washington, and in spite of the effort on the part of a few envious men who tried to discredit it and hold aloof from it, it was a grand success, and did great credit to the president, Walter Pinchback, and the members. The Bee congratulates the club on the success of the meeting. Judge Taft and Mr.Sherman, the candidate for vice president, sent fine letters, which were read and applauded. By an arrangement there were calls for Mr. Vernon, who responded with his usual address.. Mr. Vernon closed with his usual peroration about King John at Runnymede and the Magna Charta, and the handful of stars, which started great applause. On the stage, besides the speakers, there sat Governor Pinchback, Editor Chase, Hon. Cyrus Adams and Judge Robert H. Terrell, Hon. John C. Dancy and others. TAFT. From the Riverside Daily Press. Occasionally a Republican is found who says he would have been glad to vote for Roosevelt had he been nominated, but he does not feel very well satisfied to vote for Taft. Well, if he believes in Roosevelt and his policies, he certainly ought to be able to accept his judgment regarding Taft. LIBERIA HONORS THE WIZARD. Rare Dignity of "Order of African ...Redemption" Conferred Upon Mission of Liberian Commissioners to America Successful Because of Active Sympathy and Co-operation of the Tuskegeean - Fitting Recognition of His Eminent Services. From the time the Liberian envoy landed at New York on their diplomatic mission to this country, their constant "guide, counsellor and friend" was Dr. Booker T. Washington. Through his influence and because of the faith they had in his judgment, the President of the United Statess, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of Agriculture, the Attorney General and other high officials readily gave audience to Vice President Dossen, Former President Gibson and Attorney Dunbar, and took an unusually sympathetic interest in the projects which brought them to this country. It is yet too soon to make predictions as to the outcome of their negotiations with this Government, as many diplomatic forms must be observed and plans so far reaching as those proposed must be approached with the utmost caution; yet it is plain that the Liberian Commissioners made a deep impression upon the officials of the United States and the latter will doubtless go as far as propriety will admit in advancing the welfare of the promising African Republic. It is universally recognized that the apparent success of the negotiations of the Liberians in this country wielded a vital influence in moving the German Government to give attentive ear to their representations and led to a tentative agreement to grant the much-desired immunity from the alleged encroachments upon their territory by commercial exploiters of European nations. The visit to Tuskegee, under the escort personally provided by Dr. Washington, gave the Commissioners a long-wished-for opportunity to witness the "Wizard's" great industrial beehive in active operation, and enabled them to acquire many new ideas touching the method of teaching the various industries necessary to the proper development of their own people. The introduction of the Liberian Commissioners to the substantial, progressive and result-producing men and women of this country, of both races, placed them in direct touch with the forces that made their journey a triumphant success, and they and the observant citizens of America are not slow to attribute the lion's share of the credit for the recognition accorded them to that master of diplomacy, constructive stateman and preacher of the gospel of self-helpfulness — Booker T. Washington. Information now reaches the National Capital from the American Minister to Liberia, Hon. Ernest Lyon, to the effect that the Government of Liberia has decided to confer the "Order of African Redemption" upon Booker T. Washington, of the Tuskegee Institute, in consideration of his valued services to the Government of Liberia. The Liberian Government confers this order with great caution and care, and it is much prized and sought after, in Europe especially. As far as your correspondent is advised, Dr. Washington is the first American to be so honored by the Liberian Republic. DIVORCE SUIT DISMISSED. The petition for divorce filed in the Supreme Court by am. A. Keys, teacher in the Armstrong Manual Training School, against his wife, Mrs. S. T. Keys, was dismissed by Judge Barnard last week. Attorney W. Calvin Chase represented Mrs. Keys and William E. Ambrose represented Mr. Keys. Mr. Keys was ordered to pay his wife thirty dollars per month alimony. Petition for divorce was filed by Charles Lewis against his wife.Mary Lewis, on the ground of adultery. Attorney W. Calvin Chase represents Mr. Lewis. Upon the petition of Martha Gant, filed in the probate branch of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia in the matter of the estate of Emily Haines, deceased, Justice Stafford has appointed Robert F. Ward administrator c. t. a. Mrs. Haines died April 22, 1901, leaving both real and personal property, which she disposed of, by her last will and testament, but the executor therein named failed to qualify or have the will admitted to probate and record. Attorney W. C. Martin represented the petitioner. A petition for a divorce a mensa et thora has been filed in the Equity Branch of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia by George W. Pinkney against Josephine Pinkney. The complainant alleges that he and the defendant were marriedd May 18, 1897, and since said date she has deserted him nine times, and remained from their home for periods from one month to two years, and never gave any reason for her desertion except that the complainant could not purchase her fine clothing so that she could dress in the prevailing styles. The complainant, Mr. Pinkney, is represented by Attorney W. C. Martin. In the recent Democratic convention in West Virginia the following excerpt is from its platform, with an endorsement of William Jennings Bryan. "Believing that the extension of the elective franchise to a race inferior in intelligence and without preparation for the wise and prudent exercise of a privilege so vital to the maintenance of good government was a mistake, if not a crime, committed by the Republican party during the reign of passion and prejudice following the Civil War, for political ends and purposes, we declare that the Democratic party is in favor of so amending the Constitution as to preserve the purity of the ballot and the electorate of the State from the evil results from conferring such power and privilege upon those who are unfitted to appreciate its importance as it affects the stability and preservation of good government. "We favor the enactment of a law requiring common carriers engaged in passenger traffic to furnish separate coaches or compartments for white and co'ored passengers." Mr. Bryan's telegram: "I greatly appreciate the cordial endorsement given by your Convention, and share with you in the hope that the hearty co-operation promised may insure a Democratic victory in West Virginia and the National Convention. Special need of funds for the Social Settlement this year. A new settlement house is in process of erection; two story and basement, gymnasium, club and manual training rooms, filling a long-felt need. Only one-sixth of the money raised. The remainder to be secured by contributions. Let us all assist this good work. Over the grave of the only Democratic President since the war, the various factions (Democratic) have buried the hatchet. The Republicans in November will have a tight pull to win out. The Rt. Rev. A. B: Allen, National Grand Master of F. A. A. A. York Masons (National Compack), has been on an official inspection of the Grand Lodges of West Virginia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky and Tennessee. He will visit the District of Columbia.. Mrs. Sarah Peck, aged ninety-five years, of New Haven, Conn., is after her son, Burr S. Peck, aged seventy-seven years, who eloped with May Bryan, aged twenty-two years. Bishop A. A. Curtis, Vicar General of the Catholic Archdiocese of Baltimore, died last Saturday in the hospital from cancer. In the future the preferred positions of the Interior Department will be given to the men. A number of high-grade women clerks have had their pay reduced. There will be further reductions. The Commissioner of InternalRevenue has handed down an opinion that denatured alcohol contains kerosene and crude wood alcohol, which renders it unfit for external, medication. The Rev. Frederick Bonneville, pastor of the Church of Assumption of Chicopee, Mass., refused a purse of fifteen hundred dollars in gold upon his return from Europe, on the grounds that so many were out of work that he would not accept. (This brother is a Christian.) Rev. and Ill. W. H. Severson, assistant pastor of Israel Church, has been sick for the 'ast few months. There should be no jealousy among our "big guns." The spotlight is big enough to shine,upon all. + MR. NEWSOM ASKS SOME QUESTIONS. Exceptions to the EmpireStateLeague Meeting - Rev. Lee Called to Account. Editor The Bee: In re the ratification meeting held by the Empire State Republican Club at True Reformer Hall on last Saturday night, I wish to say that we heard just about what was expected from such a gathering - ridicule, vituperation, and abuse of those Negroes who do not think as they do, politically. One of the letters of regret sent by an invited speaker was positively insulting — it accused Revs. Waldron, Corothers and others of lying! None of the speeches contained anything new: a rhetorical rehearsal of the record of the Republican party up to about fifty years ago was about the sum of what was said. What they had to say of the Roosevelt Republican party was purely apologetic and invariably ended with the plea, "Give the grand old party one more chance." But little, if anything at all, was said concerning the attitude of the Republican candidate, Mr Roosevelt, or the leaders of the new Republican party, toward the colored troops, the Negro-voter or the voting franchise; and the greatest applause elicited by any of the speakers was when the name of Senator Foraker (the man whom the Republican candidate is industriously trying to undo in Ohio)) was mentioned! This name, the most magical and inspiring one of all, was frequently used by the speakers to conjure with, though it had no relation to their subject at all; it has, through the methods of the Republican candidate himself and his sponsor, been effectually and permanently divorced from the campaign. And, though the name was ingeniously linked with the subject by each speaker, in order to popularize and enthuse, it was evident to everyone that the hearts of the speakers were not in their subject, the speeches having a suspicious ring to them. (Read The Star's a la minstrel show report of Sunday, the 23rd inst.) No man can be a true friend of Senator Foraker who will not resent, in some emphatic way, the snub and ill-treatment administered to the Senator by the Republican candidate and his lieutenants in Ohio. I have four questions which I invite any of the speakers at that meeting, or any others advocating the election of Taft, to answer. They are fair and honest questions, and the voters of this country are very much concerned in the satisfactory answers to them. They are these; 1. Judge Taft, referring to the Southern disfranchisement laws, in one of his speeches to a Southern audience, says they "are a step forward;" in another, speaking of the Negroes, he calls them "a class of persons so ignorant, and so subject to oppression and misleading, that they are merely political children, not having the mental stature of manhood;" in still another he says, "their voice in the government, even when not suppressed, secures to them so benefit." What do Regis Vernon, Editor Simmons, Mr. Napier, et al, think of that? Do they take these statements as being polite to them, or as insults to their intelligence and manhood? Do they consider a man who speaks so disparagingly of them or their race worthy of 2. Some of the policies of President Roosevelt have been to dismiss the colored troops to keep them out, to stigmatize them as perjurers and assassins no better than Guiteau or Czolgolz, to declare that he would veto a bill restoring them to the army, should such a measure pass Congress and, if passed over his veto, to refuse to execute it. Judge Taft declares that the Roosevelt policies are his policies. He makes no exception in any of them; therefore, we have a right to conclude that he will follow out the Roosevelt policies in every way: that means to keep out the colored troops. Do Register Vernon et al support Candidate Taft in this? Many good Democrats condemn the manner of the dismissal of the colored troops; they consider it an outrage, and favor their restoration to the rolls. Mr. Bryan says that he would not veto a bill restoring them; Lu: would enforce the law. 3. Talk about "disfranchisement and elimination of the Negro by the Democratic party — was the Negro ever more completely eliminated and flattened out than he was at Chicago by Taft's litutenant (Hitchcock), the "steam roller" man? Contesting opposition was effectually souleched wherever it raised its head and, in every case save one, the lily white delegates were seated and the THE MUSICIAN "Black-and-Tans" ousted Do Mr Vernon et al approve of this? 4. In all of our Sunday Schools and churches we have been taught the doctrine of the divinity of the Christ and of the triune God. Do Register Vernon et al believe that it is just the thing for us to do to put at the head of this Christian nation a man who repudiates these teachings and beliefs? Answer, I say; I dare you to answer and justify yourselves. As for Brother George W. Lee, we have nothing but pity — he has been on both sides a half dozen times already during the present campaign On Saturday night, the 15th inst., he rode down to the residence of Dr. S. L. Corrothers about nine o'clock with his wife; called Dr. Corrothers out, and told him that he had had a dream—that the God he serves told him that he was wrong on this political question (this was after Flop No. 2) and that he ought to go back to the side of Bryan; that he could not support Taft, considering his record on the Negro question, and that he was not going to support him (Taft). Judging from Rev. Lee's speech at True Reformer Hall (after Flop No. 3) it would seem that Rev. Lee has been having some more dreams. The shibboleth of these Taft Negroes is "The Grand Old Party," and they ask us to be true and consistent. Has the Republican party been true and consistent with the Negro? Parties are a means to an end; but when they cease to serve that end, our support of them shou'd cease. If I would reach my destination, what matters it whether I go by rail, the flying machine, or use the steamship? In other words, who would be fool enough to flout a traveler for sticking to a steamship, when the sea had to be crossed, in order to be "consistent"? The constituency that accents is the constituency of common sense. Besides, it does not necessarily make a Democrat because he votes for Mr. Bryan, the Democratic candidate, this time. Let the Taft supporters meet us with argument, and not shallow sentimentality, and we do not fear the result. John T. C. Newsom.

A WORTHY HONOR CONFERRED. More Degrees Than Any Other Negro of His Age in America. One of the best-known and most-honored young Negroes in America is John Anderson Lankford. He is an architect by profession, who has a national reputation as having designed and supervised the largest and most beautiful, also costly, buildings in this country owned by our race, and many of the same class for other races. A few weeks ago he was unanimously recommended and accepted by the Bishops and General Conference of the A. M. E. Church as the supervising architect to design and supervise the work on all the buildings of that great religious institution. In the Bishops' Quadrennial Address to the Church they recognized him as the authority among our people along the lines of Christian art. He has been honored by more of our best and leading Negro colleges and universities than any Negro in America, having received the honorary degrees of B. S. from Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C.; M. S. from Wilberforce University, and Norris Brown College, and a few days ago M. M. S. (Master of Mechanical Science) from the State Agricultural and Mechanical College of Alabama (Normal, Ala.) He is a strong believer in his race. He employs all Negro mechanics and professional men to do his work. He is not only an architect and supervisor of construction in the highest degree, but a young man who has gone out of his way in developing his race along business and financial lines. He was the promoter and organizer of the Washington Negro Business League; is supervising architect and engineer of the Great National Negro Fair, which will be held in Mobile, Ala., from 1908 to 1912; was Commissioner General of the District of Columbia for the Jamestown Negro Exhibition. He has now one of the largest and best office buildings, in one of the best business sections in Washington exclusively for Negroes. He is public-spirited, and we believe that every Negro in America should give him a chance whenever he has work in his line. Write him, 317 Sixth street, N. W., Washington, D. C. Additional honor was conferred upon Mr. Lankford by the Negro Business League of Baltimore, Md., by electing him fourth national vice president of the National Business League of the United States.

Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks gives Prof. Sheppard a strong indorsement of this new work. Attorney L. M. King left the city Sunday morning for St. Paul, Minn., as a delegate to the convention of Knights of Pythias. Miss Palon, one of the best-known teachers in the public schools, a lady of refinement, is in charge during Attorney King's absence.

Proper Arrangement and Packing of Food Necessary If One Would Have the Feast Tempting and Palatable. Too much luggage spoils the picnic, and yet the little feast is the star feature of the day. How, then, to carry enough to eat, and at the same time have it look tempting? There is a hamper made of lightweight wicker and yet strong enough to stand the wear of many outings in the woods. A telescope shape is easy to handle and its size can be regulated to fit the contents so readily that the woman who thinks ahead and of the party's return is sure to choose this style instead of the square or oblong hamper made after the fashion of the English tea basket. Straw cases for bottles, cups and glasses are superior in many ways to leather ones. The lighter covering may not wear so well as the others, but it looks much cooler. Hamper fittings can be bought separately and tucked away in a plain basket, and if well packed no danger of breakage need be feared. Wooden plates are really much more plenicky than china. If sandwiches and cakes are placed on plates when the basket is being arranged and each one is wrapped first in a napkin wrung out in ice water, then in baker's or parsnine paper the food will be kept perfectly fresh, and it can be placed at once on the picnic table when the time for luncheon has arrived. Lettuce leaves that have been packed loosely in a linen bag thoroughly dampened with ice water will help to give the luncheon table a fresh, cool and inviting air and they can be used to garnish the plates of cold meats and salads. This is an excellent way to carry green salads, and if the dressing is made just before starting and carried in a bottle, or the ingredients packed so that the dressing can be mixed by the salad expert while the luncheon is being spread out, the salad will be fresh and crisp. Tiny cones of salt and pepper, one packet for each member of the party, are easier to carry and much less trouble than to take along a set of shakers. There are such perfect ways now of carrying hot or cold liquids and keeping them at their original temperature that few picnic parties bother with making tea or coffee at the poco cresc. i: vy wreath!

A basket that's well packed with edibles which have been properly chilled before starting seldom gets warm and mussy if it is handled carefully and kept out of the sun. Plates and cups can be kept on the ice for a while before they are tucked away in the hamper and they will stay cold for some time. Tinned and bottled foods are best taken in small lots so that they can be opened as needed and the empty boxes or bottles thrown away at once. Having a number of things in this way does away with passing the food from one end of the table or luncheon cloth to the other. Paper napkins are good enough for the average outdoor function of this kind. They should, however, be supplied in quantities so that they may be used for covering the plates, for wiping off dust and for cleaning the dishes after the meal is over. Muskmelon Frappe. Remove enough of the tops of small nutmeg melons so as to be able to take out the seeds and membrane, then scoop out as much of the soft pulp as can be removed. Cut the pulp into small pieces. Drain the juice from seeds and membrane and add it to one quart of whipped cream, sweetened. Put into freezer and turn until stiff. When ready to serve take the chilled shells, place the frappe cream in alternate layers with the melon pulp, having the frappe as last layer. Serve on small plates with cake. Gateau of Cherries. Dissolve two heaping tablespoonfuls of powdered gelatine in half a cup of boiling water. Put three heaping tablespoonfuls of sugar, one cupful of cold water, rind and strained juice of one lemon into a saucepan, boll for 20 minutes, strain, add a few drops of red coloring, one teaspoonful of vanilla extract, one pound of stoned cherries and gelatine. Mix well and pour into a wet mold. Turn out when set. Breaded Pork Chops. Make dressing same as for fowl, only season highly with apples, celery and onions. Take baking pan, put any drippings in bottom; heat; put in dressing, then lay pork chops on top of same and bake in oven. When chops are cooked on one side turn over. When done remove to a warm platter, garnish with parsley, add more drippings, thicken for gravy, and pour over all. Delicious Salad. Boil one cup red kidney beans in salted water until soft. Drain, add one cup English walnuts or peanuts, slightly broken, one cup chopped celery, and about six olives cut fine. Mix all together and serve on bed of lettuce with mayonnaise dressing. making money fast. Write for full particulars and special offer at once.

Death from Fever, Poison and Animals, or Captivity in the Jungle Lurk, But in the End the Finest Hunting in the World. Oyster Bay, N. Y.—President Roosevelt's hunting trip to East Africa which is planned for next year, will decrease the presidential savings some $20,000 to $25,000 at a low estimate, but, inasmuch as Mr. Roosevelt already has been offered more than ten times that amount for his story of the trip, to be written upon his return, it isn't worrying the family banker. What is concerning all the Roosevelt family and the close friends of the president may be summed up as "things that might happen on that trip." It is no small matter, this 20,000 miles' journey to the wildest section of the world, where big game is as populous as it has come 'to be scarce in the "won west." It isn't so much the lions, elephants, and their associates that are being feared, although the element of danger they always present contains the essential rest of hunting with any true sportsman. But there are many other enemies of human life, which the president will have to encounter and subdue. The journey to the east coast of Africa will be one of the most wonderful pilgrimages a man of the western world might take. The president will pass through seas and straits which alone could have washed away the tomes of history they have seen written. He will come into contact with customs and people by far the most interesting in the world, and finally, as a sort of guerdon for his wandering, the traveler will reach Zanzibar (a place which merits its name, Paradise). It has been called the most interesting 15 square miles in the world, and INDIAN OCEAN MORONETQUE CHANNEL MADAGASCAR East Africa, Where the President Will Hunt. appears to merit the description. In its scant area the flotsam and jetsam of the eastern world has gathered. It contains, shoulder to shoulder, in its heterogenous people and life, the elements of the finest culture, the deepest ignorance, morality, degeneracy, vice and virtue, more fantastically interwoven into the life of the place than anywhere else in all the world. Here the president will get his supplies, guildes, servants, porters and other blacks who will be his companions on the hunt. From Zanzibar he goes to the chief city of English East Africa and from there plunges into the vast silent, disease-breeding jungle where a white man goes with the assurance that death, multiform, pestilent and horrible, lurks in every thicket and stream and tree; a place where the chances of living are reduced to the ultimate natural minimum. Preceded by his blacks, and followed by more of the same, bearing the rather imposing luggage of the expedition and, in bad weather, the head of the expedition in a hammock, the president will enter a world vastly different from anything he has ever seen. The president will not have proceeded far before rebellion will break out in his train. This kind, however, is more easily settled than miners' strikes, and all may be well. Then he may be overtaken and captured by a native prince, who will require beads, wire, brass and the like to keep him from devoting his distinguished guest to glutting his appetite. Upon finding that his visitor is the late head of a great government, the chief will even become solicitous, send around a few buckets of stinking native beer, even some pellets of bhang, that the president may dream the dream of the hashish eater, and as a last mark of courtesy demand that the president marry a couple or more of his dusky belles. The diplomacy of Mr Roosevelt will have to be relied upon in this extremity. In the end, all these perils having been safely passed, Mr. Roosevelt will reach the happiest hunting grounds in all the world, where he may shoot lions, hippopotamil, specimens of the buffalo, rhinoceros, bok, etc., till his ammunition runs out or something happens.

Office W.SidneyPittman Architect Make frames 12 inches square and four inches deep from any pieces of board at hand, or get a box from the grocer and split it up for the purpose. Set a frame over each hill of cucumbers or melons, and cover with a piece of glass. Amateur photographers who have spoiled negatives on hand can clean them in hot water and use them for this purpose by tacking a couple of cross sticks over the top of the frame to serve as rests for the small glasses. This protects your vines while the first leaves are forming, which is the time to lock out for bugs. The glass, of course, must be removed to let in air and moisture at the proper times. By this method one can start much earlier than usual and be sure of protection from frost as well as bugs. Many housewives have been annoyed by the cloudy, blue-gray look which so often appears on mahogany planos and other pieces of highly polished furniture. For removing such an appearance one woman has very successfully, used a solution composed of a tablespoonful of vinegar in a quart of clear water. This applied with a cheesecloth rag, first saturated and then wrung out as dry as possible. The furniture is rubbed very lightly with this and is then polished just as lightly with a dry piece of cheesecloth. If the first application is not successful it may be tried again in a week. By following the method given below you can always have crisp, fresh lettuce and rarely lose a leaf. As soon as it comes from the grocery plunge it into cold water. The pan must be large and deep enough to cover it entirely and give it room to swell. After about six hours wash it off under cold water; wrap it lightly in a damp towel, put it into a fruit basket—I use a grape basket without top or handle—and set it on the shelf of the refrigerator. It will keep for three or four days and be ready for use at once.—Chicago Tribune. Take cold roast veal, left from supper, chop fine with one onion; add two tablespoons of cold oatmeal, salt and pepper to taste, roll into little cakes, dip in eggs and cracker crumbs and fry in butter and lard. Serve with gravy. A. BERRIES ARE RIPE SOME GOOD METHODS OF PRE SERVING AND SERVING. Blackberry Froth as a Luncheon Dainty—Recipes for Wine and Cordial—Serve Jelly with Whipped Cream. Blackberry Froth.—Whites of four eggs, one cupful of blackberry juice, two cupfuls of boiling water, one cupful of cold water, one-half box of gelatine, one cupful of sugar. Soak the gelatine in the cold water for one hour, stir the sugar into it and pour the boiling water over them. When they are dissolved add the blackberry juice, strain and set on the ice until the jelly is nearly firm. Beat the whites of the eggs stiff and whip into the jelly a little at a time. Turn into a mold wet with cold water and let it stand until firm. Serve with cream. Blackberry Wine.—Fill a stone jar with ripe berries and cover with water. Tie a cloth over the jar and let stand for four days to ferment; then mash the berries and strain through a cloth. Add three pounds of brown sugar to every gallon of juice; cover and skim them every morning until clear of fermentation; pour this off carefully from the sediment into a demijohn, cork and set in a cool place. This will be ready to use in two months. Blackberry Cordial. — Add two pounds of loaf sugar to one gallon of blackberry juice, a tablespoonful each of ground cloves and allspice, two nutmegs grated and a teaspoonful of ground cinnamon. Boll slowly for about 30 minutes, remove from fire and let cool; add a pint of good French brandy, then bottle. Blackberry Jelly.—Take one quart of berry juice and when it comes to a boll add to it a half box of soaked gelatine, one cupful of sugar and stir over the fire until gelatine dissolves. This will take only a few minutes. Strain into a mold and set away until hardened. Serve this with whipped cream. Blackberries Preserved.—Do not use fruit that is too ripe, weigh and put into glass jars filling each one two-thirds full. Put one pound of sugar in a saucepan and one cupful of water to every two pounds of fruit, and let it come slowly to a boll. Pour this syrup hot into the jars over the berries, filling them to the brim. Place the jars in a boiler containing cold water and let the wate. come to a boll, and when the fruit is scalding hot take out the jars and cover them airtight. Blackberry Pudding.—Take two cupfuls of stale bread crumbs soaked in two cupfuls of milk, a little salt and three eggs beaten well. Take one and one-half cupfuls of sifted flour and stir into it half a teaspoonful of baking powder; add one and one-half pints of blackberries. Put into a buttered pudding dish and steam for two hours. Serve with a rich sauce. E.VOIGT a friend whom they wish to make happy. It later, sister or brother.
