BEAUTIES OF THE BURGoo.
A Sylvan Feast That Fairly Makes q
Mans Mouth water.

"Ifyou should go out to Kentucky
about this time, said the old Judge to a
Washington correspondent of the Phila-
delphia Record, you would probably be
invited to a burgoo. You don't recognize
him by that name, do you2 No? Well,
a burgoo (accent on first syllable) is a
grand, good thing. 1t is an all day picnic
in the woods, with a feast which throws
the clam chowder and the barbecue into
the deep shade of obscurity. In fact, the
burgoo usually includes a barbecue as u
sort of an incident. You go out to a cor
ner of the woods, where the thick under
brush has been carefully cut away and
where there are trees enough for shade
but not enough for gloom, and there you
sit and play poker and smoke the finest
tobacco in the world and drink oily ten
year-old sour mash, and sniff the delight
full aroma of the burgoo until along in the
afternoon, when the niggers pronounce
the burgoo ready and ladle it out to you
in big bowlfulls.
THE burgoo is a delicious broth which
is a perpetual reminder of the aborigines
who handed it over to our pioneering fore
fathers when they began coming across
the mountains from Virginia. You take
or rather the darkies take-a gigantic
kettle and hang it owe a roaring fire. A
light broth is made first; then they throw
in young chickens, young ducks, sucking
pigs and all sorts of young game, with
fresh potatoes, green peas, string beans,
corn and every other vegetable. Every
thing is cooked until the meats begin to
fall to pieces.
Then the walters, with shining. smil-
ing black faces and snow-white jackets
and aprons, bear great bowlfuls of the
toothsome stew through the grove. Oh,
how good it isl My mouth waters as l
tell you of it. Afterward there is more
burgoo, and then more burgoo, until
everybody has actually had enough. Then
the darkies satisfy themselves, while you
return to your pipe and your glass, until
the shadows of evening gather sleepily
around you.
His voice became low and his look be-
came dreamy. Suddenly he reused him
self and remarked. as he turned away; "A
few weeks later the darkies hold their
camp meeting on the same spot

A BLOW AT THE NAVY.
John Roach's Shipyard Meets
With Disaster.
A Big Fire Creates Immense
Havoc
And Suspends All Govern
msnt Contracts For Work.
An Immense Fire.

CHESTER, Pa, August s.-This morn
ing a fire was discovered by the Waterman
in the blacksmith shop, a frame building,
in Roach's ship yard. The flames soon
spread to the punch shed. also France and
covering nearly an acre of ground. All
efforts to save this immense building were
given up and attention directed to saving
the binding shed a short distance away,
but the efforts of the fremen were una
vailing and it wss soon destroyed. The
firemen then directed their attention to
the foundry. a large brick building adjoin-
ing the binding shed, and it was only by
herculean efforts it was saved. kilograms
were sent to Wilmington and Philadelphia
for assistance, but the fire was gotten I'M
der control sufficiently to countermand the
orders. The principal loss will be on the
punch shed where there was a great deal
of heavy and expensive machinery, valued
at $3.50. 900. The rolls alone cost
$1,000 to $1,000 apiece, and
there were three or four sets of these.
There were six sets Of punches, valued at
$4,000. The other machinery was pro-
~portionately expensive and required in
daily use, as it enters into the shaping or
or preparation of plates and iron used in
s%hipbuilding. Much of this machinery
was new, and will require several months
to replace it. The loss in the binding
shed will reach over 100000. The build
ings themselves, although sheds. were
worth $4,000. The loss on both build
ings and machinery is fully insured. The
fire throws about FIVE hundred men out of
work and will virtually stop the yard and
suspend work on the government cruisers
for some time. Roach was at his Sum
mer residence in College Point and is ex-
pected tomorrow.

CHICAGO, August S.-A brutal case of
assault came before Justice Foote at the
Armory Court this morning, in which
John Allen and his wife Matte, the
former a cousin of the late notorious Bill
Allen, were defendants. The two bear a
grudge against old Mrs. Rebecca Allen,
John mother, and last evening together
they visited the old lady at her rooms No.
1880 South Clark street. Hot words were
engaged in, when the young negro and
his wife simultaneously attacked Mrs.
Allen, Matte Allen drawing a knife, and
John holding his mother while Matte
plunged the knife into the old lady's
body, making a frightful cash in her face,
one in her left breast and one in her right
shoulder. The old woman sank to the
floor in a pool of blood and her assailAnts
decamped, but were afterwards caught
and lodged at the Armory.N Ms. Allen
was removed to the County Hospital,
where she now lies in an exhausted
condition.

Some of the fashionable young men at

in horseback display, suggested, no doubt,
by Buffalo Bills Wild West exhibition.
For several afternoons IA party, including
Mr.. George Burton, Mr.. John Huston
Merrill, Mr.. Edward II. Mccullough and
Mr.. John Hoffman, have started off wear
ing white helmets with their buckskin
brooches tucked in their boots and carry
ing shotguns, and have secured the coun-
try for miles around, There has been
nothing to shoot, but they have had their
guns and carried ammunition in case of
emergency should they come across unruly
COWS or polecats, which are now abundant
in the country.
A curious feature has been that they
have had with them on each of their ex-
petitions a colored mar in his shirt sleeves
on horseback. who has had attached to
his saddle a pail, several cups and various
camp utensils. The party has never re-
manned out one night, but has always
taken the servants and accoutrements
with them in case they should, The sight
of this strange cavalcade coming suddenly
upon quiet farm houses and little villages
has scared the sewing maids out of their
wits and caused the stable boys to stand
gaping in open mouthed wonder. -Phila-

Last Day of the W. C. T. U,

ST. LOUIS, Oct 25.-The Woman's Chris
tian Temperance union is holding its last
days session. The forenoon session was
wholly devoted to the discussion of the fol-
lowing resolution:
We refer to the history of ten years of the
moral suasion work as fully establishing our
claim to be called non political society, but
which follows the white flag of prohibition
wherever it may be displayed. We have,
however, as individuals, allied ourselves in
local and state political contests with those
voters whose efforts and ballots have been
given for the removal of the dramshop aud
lis attendant evils, and at this time, while
recognizing that our action as a national So
ciety is not binding upon states or individu-
ais, we reaffirm the position taken by the So
cety both at Louisville in 1852
aud at Detroit in 1888, pledging
our influence to that party
by whatever name called. which shall fur
nish the best embodiment of prohibition
principles and will more surely protect our
homes and US. We know which national
party gives US the desired embodiment OF
principles for which our ten years labor was
expended. We will continue to aid the po-
litical organization which declares in its
platform for national prohibition and home
protection.
The following amendment was submitted:
ResOl,ed, That we heartily endorse the
course of the national committee in keeping
with the obligations made at Detroit to sup
port by the womens influence whatever
political party would incorporate the princi-
pie of home protection from saloon destruc-
ton. We are not in any sense a political
organization, but the workers OF the up
building of every grace that will make the
people happier and the public sentiment for
total abstinence and total prohibition.
The discussion of the resolution aud
amendment was general, earnest and ami
mated throughout the morning session, and
the convention seemed about evenly divided.
The matter will be continued this afternoon.
A result viii probably be reached this even
! ing.
