GUIrEAU LONGING FOR SUNLIGHT

HE APPLIES TO DISTRICT ATTORNEY coRKHuL TO
BE RELEASED ON BAIL-HIs CLAIM BASED on
THE FACT THAT THE PRESIDENT Is NOT Ex-
PRCrED TO DIE.
lDr TELEGRAPH TO THE TRmuNE.I
WASHINGTON Aug 2.-District Attorney Cork
hill visited the Jail to-day for the first time in ten
days. His visit in consequence of a notification
from Guiteau that he had an important communi-
cation to make TO him. Upon the entrance of the
District Attorney into his cell Guteau arose and
produced n folded paper. This was found bv
Colonel Corkhiil to be petition drawn up in the
small, precise hand of the and praying for
his release from Jail bail in the sum of $l5 0OO
Guiteau bases his claim for lease bail upon the
fact that the President is now regarded az out of
danger and that his physicians concur in stating
that there is no probability whatever of another
relapse.
The construction of the petition shows consider
able familiarity with the forms and methods of
law, and the document throughout is drawn up
with IA conciseness and eXactness that indicate
anything but insanity. Guteau very anxious
that the District Attorney should take prompt ac-
ton upon his prayer for release, and ntimated that
in the event offavorable consideration of the peti-
ton he would have difficulty in securing bonds
men in the sum indicated.
queer feature iii this matter is how Guiteau has
managed to get information to the favorable con-
dition of the President and the opinions expressed
by his physicians. Under the orders issued in
gard to his custody he prohibited from receiv-
ing newspapers or from conversing with any one ex-
ccpt upon such matters as related strictly to his
prison life.
The appearance of the assassin has changed little
since his commitment to Jail his complexion has
palcd somewhat. and he moves with n langnor that
is slightly different from the lounging manner no.
ticablc at the time of his incarceration.
District Attorney Corklill declined to make pub
lie the text of the petition and it is probable that it
will not be given until legal action is had thereon

A CRUEL JOKE.

BOdle Free Press, FEBRUARY zzu'l
The inhabitants of the Mono boarding

Saturday evening at the expense OF miner
living in the same house. The latter was
the subject of huge joke, which made
him feel of all men the most miserable. 1t
appears he had tender attachment Tor
lady in the house, and although old enough
to knew better, was troubled with loves

he invited the lady to take moonlight
stroll with him down town, and the lady
consented to the proposition. She retired

tuted another person, who touk the arm OF
the gallant miner, and they started oil,
the latter feeling as happy as bridegroom
in waiting for the bride. As they pro-
ceeded down the road he started pleas
ant conversation, remarking on the beauties
of the night, the pale, sad moon,
the twinkling stars and the ex-
treme loneliness of the whole scene.
His partner said nothing, and as
the lover pressed the arm of the timid
young lady he thought her quietness
was the result of sad ecstacy at being 80
near the only person sue ever IIuiy ioNSu'
Each moment to him was year of bliss
As they neared the Standard wood. pile
the miners passion could not be confined
in so narrow a breast as he possessed, and
although there was nothing in the wood
pile to suggest it, he made broad pro-
posal, so eloquent and sincere that only a
heart of stone could fail to be melted by
it. No reply came. "Silence gives con-
sent, he thought. But to make the mat
ter certain and to hear the soft accent OF
her voice. he asked again. No reply came
from the lips he longed to press to his own.
Then horrid suspicion arose in his breast,
and he made an effort to look into those
yes which so often entranced him. Dark
ness prevented this, so he struck match.
| What ne saw struck him almost dumb, but
he managed to exclaim 1.-The hell's fire 7
and made rapid retreat. The lady y
proved to be another miner dressed In fe-
male attire and closely yelled. 1t was a
joke cruel in its effects.

SALAD OF FRENCH BEANS, -The canned
French string beans which are tender,
young and bright green, are very nice for

needed in little boiling water, drain, and
while still hot pour over them mixture
thalf cupl of oil, vinegar, pepper and salt.
Let them stand and get cold couple of
hours, and this mixture (marmadel will be
thoroughly absorbed. On being brought
to table the salad will probably need more
oil and vinegar.

them carefully, put a large piece of the
best butter inside each bird and roast IN

Receipts.

THE BEST RICE PUDDISG.-This rice
pudding is beyond comparison the best
ever made, in spite of the fact that it is the
cheapest. The secret of it's perfection is
the long cooking it gets. For 6 o'clock
dinner the rice and milk should be put on
the stove early in the forenoon. The best
thing to cook it in is double kettle. Add
to quart OF milk two heaping tablespoons
of rice. Let it simmer on the back of the
stove-it must never boil-until a couple
of hours before dinner. 1t will then be a
thick creamy substance. Then salt and
sweeten it to taste, put it into pudding
dish. and bake in a moderate oven until
it is of a jelly-ik thickness and the top IS
slightly Drowned. 1t can be eaten either
h or cold If the latter is preferred the
pudding may be made the day before if
that is most convenient. If desired, a
fiavoring may be added. This is emphatl-
cally the perfect pudding of its kind.
BRAIsED BEEF.-Take a well-shaped
piece of the round, lard it with little strips
OF fat pork inserted in the meat with a
Iarding needle), and put it into stewpan
which has tight cover. Put beneath the
meat some bits of pork, some parsley, and
carrots, OulOus, anu SCiCAy Nup IL t'iOSSo.
Sprinkle the meat with salt and fill the pan
half.full with good meat stock. Cover
tightly and let the whole simmer for nearly
two hours, putting more hot stock in it if
necessary. Drain it when done, put in
the oven a moment; strain the stock, TAX
ing off the fat, put in some tomato sauce,
and let the whole boil a few minutes until
thick enough. Serve the beef on a platter
surrounded with beans, carrots and beets
cut into nice bits and previously boiled
The beans to be used In winter are the
French canned beans.
CRoUTRs AUX PECHEs.-Cut some round
slices off some milk rolls, remove the
crust, dip in little milk and sugar, and
fry them a pale yellow in fresh butter.
Take tin Of preserved peaches. turn out
the liquor into q saucepan, add a little
sugar and a glass OF white WINE; boil it
up, put in the peaches, simmer few min
utes, drain them, and place half peach,
concave side uppermost, on each piece OF
bread, put piece of currant jelly IN the
cavity of each peach, pour the syrup round
and serve.
BEIGNETs SoUFRLEs. Put about a pint
