THE CHINESE MINISTER
Complains OF Improper Examination
of Females at San Francisco.

Complains OF Improper Examination
of Females at San Francisco.
The State Department has received COM
plant from the Chinese minister to the
effect that certain Chinese women, landed
in San Francisco on the 10th ultimo, were,
on their landing, searched all over their
person by the customs officers at the wharf,
In the presence OF many spectators, and
that some Of them had to take off their
outer dress by compulsory ORDERS" The
collector and surveyor of the port OF San
Francisco, upon being informed of the
charge, say that the examination Of the
female Chinese was made by male customs
officers In the absence of female inspectors,
and that no personal search was made, but
that some Of the women were compelled to
take of their backs certain "new and un-
worm overcoats, which they wore In addi-
tion to their usual raiment, for the evident
purpose OF smuggling. Further, the sur
veyor reports that although 1t was plain,
from external appearances, that the females
had on large quantity Of other unneces-
sary clothing or other material which he be-
lieved TO be smuggled goods, he did not
order or suffer their persons TO be searched,
for the reason that there was no inspectress
present to perform the duty,

regarding the cause OF his defeat for the
congressional nomination and Of the polit-

THE BRUNSWICK STEW.
The Originator of 1t and How the Dish
Was First Made.


From time almost out OF mind the old
families Of Virginia have been accustomed
to serve up to their friends stew known as
the "Brunswick stew" It has long been
question in dispute as to the origin OF this
"stew." The true history Of II ls about IS
follows: During the war of 1919 there was
a man named james Matthews, who was
soldier In that war. He was from the red
oak neighborhood In Brunswick county,
Va. He was also great squirrel hunter, and
It was his way of cooking the squirrel which
gained him much popularity and eclat with
the ladies.
His mode of cooking the squirrel was
quite simple, as follows: After dressing 1t
nicely, the squirrel was set to cooking early
In the morning, so that 1t might be ready
for a 2 o'clock dinner. 1t was kept stewng
continually, water being added to supply
evaporation, until 1t was so thoroughly
done that the flesh would separate from the
bones, which were taken out and the stew
seasoned to the taste, not having any vege-
table whatever In 1t. This was the first
Brunswick stew, of 1916, and continued to
be until 1s30-'32, when the tomato had be-
come better known as most excellent veg
etable. About this time man by the name
ceived tho idea OF improving "Matthew's
stew" by the addition OF the tomato, onion,
corn, potatoes, middllng, fresh butter, and
light bread.
The original receipt for making this
"stew,n after the tomato was known to be a
most excellent article OF food, is as follows:
Take one squirrel, fresh and nice, a half
pound Of middling, cut thin and with skin
off, and water In sufficient quantity. Put
on at o'clock to cook for five hours, when
the flesh will leave the bones of the
squirrel, which should be taken out. Now
add one quart of tomatoes (peeled), one
small onion, one-half pound OF butter
(fresh), one good size Irish potato, two ears
of corn with the grains split down each
row before cutting from the cob Then a
sufficient quantity of sweet lightbread
should be added with the tomatoes Just
one hour before disner. Now season to the
taste with both black and red pepper, and
you have the genuine Brunswick squirrel
stew.
tits remarkable fact that no other
flesh will impart the delicate wild flavor as
the squirrel, hence there is nothing what
ever to take Its place.
