festival On Tuesday evening. After the al

tlemen adjourned to the saloon of Z. }.

Having no hot water, the bartender, Pat
rick McGown, served all the drinks cold,
aud when some Of the guests objected he re-
marked that cold drinks were the best for
coons" Sister Aida Tilghman, who had
ordered hot spiced rum and had received the
drink clear and cold as ice, objected to that
kind of language and demanded to know
what he rieaut. McGown replied by slap
ping the lady in the face with his tin tray.
That act aroused all her fiery blood, and,
quickly picking up spittoou, Sister Aida
struck A1cGown with it upon the head.
Deacon Samuel G. Creig, who was acting as
Miss Alida's escort, then took a hand in the
affair, ami McGown rctreated behind the bar,
where he got a revolver and fired a shot at
Deacon Creig, woundiug him slightly in the
hand. The police then arrived and arrest

4 BEAUTIFUL ADvocATloS.-Bulwcr eloquent
" says l cannot believe that earth IS mans
abiding place 1t cannot he that our life is cast
up by the ocean of eternity to float upon its waves
and sink into nothingness: else. why is it that
the glorious aspirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts are forever wander
ing about unsatisfed: Why is it that the RAIN
bows come over us with beauty that is not of
this earth and then pass of and leave us to muse
upon thei: favored loviness? Why is it that the
stars, which hold their festivals around the mid
night throne, are set above the grasp OF our limit
ed faculties are forever mocking us with their
unapproachablc glory? And finally why Is it
that bright forms of human beauty are presented
to view and then taken from us, leaving the thou
sands of streams Of affections 10 flow in Alpine
torrents upon our hearts?
VS. are born for higher destiny than that OF
earth 4; there is q realm where the rainbow never
fades and where stars will spread before us like
Islands that Siumbcr IN cur presents forever

Cooking as an Art.

The man who presides over the
kitchen in first-class hotel is an abso-
lutte monarch. Nobody ventures to
question his acts, and even his en-
ployers make their feeble suggestion in
a deferential way. The modern chef is
IN artist rs we'll rs student, and for
his use is provided library filled with
all the standard works upon his art.
Here he consults MS authorities, and
plans MS campaigns of gastronomic
conquest. In the kitchen are subordin-
ates of many grades who look up to
him with awe. The chef of a leading
hotel in New York lately admitted y
reporter to his inner sanctum, and
there coniided to him the great secret
of the cooking art This, it appears,
is the making of sauces. Everything
in It's raw state" says the oracle, has
distinctive taste, but the cooks art is
TO bring it to the surface so that it
reaches the palate The secret IN our
profession is to supply favors where
they are absent and develop them
when they are there, just as the paint
er makes his effect stand out from the
canvas. "-BoSt0R Herald.

behaved with great propriety during
the interview, but had gone away so

Mas disturbed by such an unusual state
of affairs.
sWhv, frankie, hat are you think

like your new auntieP'
"Not much, replied the matter-of-
fact youngster.
"And why notP"
because she is not pretty, like you,

dislike your aunt for that | am sure
she viii be very good TO you when you

good than pretty"

Certainly, frankie; for one may be
pretty outside and ugly inside-one
may have pretty face and an ugly
