SAUSAGE is a popular article of diet
during the fall and winter months and
is an enjoyable article if well cooked.
One of the disagreeable features about
it is the ordinary mode Of cooking,
which is to fry them. The spattering
fat covers the range and the ascending
smoke fills the house with disagree
able odOr. This may be avoided by
simply putting the sausage in a baking
pan n-and cooking them in the oven. In
this way all disagreeable smoke and
odor are avoided This is given ON the
authority Of an experienced caterer
who SAYS that o pound of sausage viii
cook brown in ten minutes.

A meeting of representatives of the
Temperance Reform Party was held in
Dover, Tuesday, 30th ult., when it was
resolved to maintain the organization
and fight for the adoption of all the re-
forms enumerated in their late plat
form. Two of these reforms are likely
to be granted by the Legislature which
will meet next January. These two

Some of the Democratic papers are
taunting VIM. Dean over the failure of
the Temperance party. 1t may be
funny, but 1t is foolish; for political
wisdom lies in conciliation, rather than
making or embittering enemies. And
by the way, there are many Reformers
who have been taunted that will never
90 back to the Democratic fold. "The

Yesterday i'm The senate

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-In the senate
the committee on library was directed to
consider the subject of placing in the vacant
inches of the senate chamber and its cor
rldors busts of the vice-presidents of the
United States. Mr.. Ingalls, national uni
versity bill was referred to the committee
on education and labor. The Sioux reserva-
ton bill, after some debate, went over. The
electoral count bill was postponed until
Monday next. The Dakota bill was taken
up and debated at some length. THE dis
cussion of this bill will be found with other
Dakota matters on the fifth page After
an executive session the senate adjourned.
THE PAPERS WANTED.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2T.-1n the senate
executive session Senator Morrill, offered
two resolutions, which went over for day
under objection from the Democratic side.
One of them is similar to that offered by
Senator Edmunds from the judiciary COM
mittee on Monday. 1t directs the secretary
Of the treasury to send to the finance com
mittee papers on file in his Office relating to
the administration of the Office of collector
of internal revenue for the district of West
Virginia by Samuel P. Mccormick. Nc
Cormick was suspended last spring and
John L. McGraw was nominated in his
place. McGraw's nomination was not
acted upon by the senate during the called
session, and he was renominated last De
cember. The other resolution directs the
secretary of the treasury to send to the
committee the papers on file in the depart
ment relating to the appointment and record
of ID. Frank Bradley to be collector of in
ternal revenue for the district of South
Carolina, vice Ellery W. Brayton, sus-
penden. The nomination was made on the
10th of last December.

cases in fiction and real life, but Is next to
impossible to predict what viii be its action
from study of its own tendency. Hence
the inexhaustIble interest of the comedy or
the tragedy. as il may be. and the infinite
resources OF the student of love-making and
the adjustment of the relation Of man 10
woman, which is the great business of life.
The interest in the novel, If it is story Of
love. Is inexhaustible, not only because
every woman is different from every other,
but because every real woman has infinite
variety of impulse and action in herself.
If the lover in the novel were sure to find
his beloved every day just the same, the
public would not care 10 read about more
than one interview, Fiction would perish
of monotony. If the female mind had a
law of uniformity, and the novelist were to
discover it, he would simply kill the goose
that LAYS the golden eggs of literature. He
would dissipate all the mystery and charm
Of his art. But there is no danger. The
novel in this is reflection Of real life.
The great interest of the world lies in the
uncertainty attending lOve-making. and in
the variety, the inealculable mood and ac-
ton, of women in allclrcumstances. Take
an appeal TO experience. 1t Is true that
that there are women who are comparative
ly stolid. reduced TO rule and uniformity.
But they are uninterestlng. Who is it that
forever excites, charms. attracts, and makes
life lively and worth living? II IS the
fluctuating female, the woman who does
and says the unexpected, who-to make
the case extreme-has tears one minut and
smiles the next. and who can pass easily
from gay to grave. and keep expectation on
tip-toe for her delightful variations. Life
would be intolorably stupid if she were
otherwise.

TOWARDS THE PACIFIC.
Contemplated Extensions TO the Pa.
cisfe Coast.

1t appears that the Chicago & Northwest
eIn is making more determined effort to
extend its line TO this coast than local rail-
road authorities have thus far credited it
with, and if the company does not have an
Independent route to this coast within the
next five years it will be owing to its fail
IRE to outstrip the Burlington. The state
ment was made recently that the North
western would soon connect with the Cen
trail Pacific at Ogden and form traffic ar
rangement with the latter road similar to
that of the AtchisOn and Southern Pacific
but this report would now appear to be in
exact, as the Northwestern announces
its intention of crossing the Central Pacific
at Corrine, Utah, within year. A route
is said to have been surveyed from Corrine
to Eureka, New, and Austin, the southern
terminal OF branch lines, which form feeders
to the Central Pacific. The proposed route
then proceeds to the Sierra, crossing the
range at a point not far from the Yosemite
1t is believed that the Northwestern has.
through agents here, made a careful esti-
mate of the cost of terminal facilities at
different points on the bay, and has secured
statements as to their feasibility. One re-
port is to the effect that it will not seek to
secure terminals through any route now
open, but will proceed to construct its own
line from an advantageous site not far
from the Southern Pacific company's mole
What gives force to the reports that the
Burlington is about to extend its line to this
coast is the fact that it now has on hand
more steel rails than it has owned for years,
and is adding to its large stock every month
through purchases by agents in England
Then there is the direct statement of gem
eral Manager Potter, made while in this
city recently, and since confirmed in several
interviews, that his road was seeking an in
dependent outlet to this coast. There is
the further statement that party of sur
veyors are now making out railroad route
across the state toward the Sierra range,
but whether the line is for the Burlington
or the Northwestern does not transpire.

Special TO the Globe.
TRENTON, Y. j., Jan. 27.--The Penn
sylyania road has made an endeavor to
rally from the strong and favorable i'm
preston made by the Baltimore d. Ohio
representatives yesterday. 1t put in bill
i'm the senate through Senator Chase OF
NIiddlesex, that almost staggered the
Baltimore d. Ohio at first. 1t
provides that all plans and specifications
for bridges over navigable streams must first
be approved by the legislature; in other
words. before Staten Island sound can be
bridged the legislature must approve of the
plans. Should this bill pass it would be
several years before the bridge could be
built, as the next legislature would have TO
approve the specifications. The bill was
referred to committee that is packed in
Pennsylvania's interest. Later on in the
day. however. the BaltomOre q Ohio was as
cheerful as ever. 1t said the Chase measure
was too absurd to pass. Then the news
that the house committee on riparian rights
had accepted on behalf of the legislature an
invitation to go on junketing down Staten
Island sound, on Thursday, Feb. 4. pleased
the Baltimore & Ohio people. The trip
will be conducted by the Baltimore & Ohio,
and will be made as elaborate and eniOya-
BILE as possible. In all probability the com
mittee will not report the Parker resolution
asking congress to defeat the Wyman
bridge bill till after the trip. In the mean
time the Baltimore d Ohio hopes to get the
bridge lines through congress.
