A san Antonio Man, Unfortunate in Busi.
ness, Tries the Choral Route.
Special 70 the Gazette
SAN ANTONIO, TEX, Oct. 2l--Oscar
Schaen, respectable young German,
thirty five years Old, committed suicide
with dose Of choral this morning in the
city jail, otherwise known as the bat cave.
About 10 O'Clock last night he was found
by Officers Schumacher and A. Brown In
the alley by the Maverick hotel, in per-
feet state Of intoxication. In this condi-
ton he was taken 10 the headquarters In
q hack and put in the bat cave In the same
cell with negro, Mitchell Herbert, who
preceded him but few minutes for Wife
beating. Herbert stated that Schaen never
aroused him during the night, but about
daylight this morning, while 1t was dark
in the cell, Schaen called 10 him and asked
where the water was. Herbert told him.
Whereupon Schaen commenced praying
In subdued tones, nothing of which Her
bert could distinguish except the Lords
prayer. Schaen then mixed
something In the cup which Herbert
thought was medicine, and,
praying, swallowed It's contents. He
prayed again after this aud lay down
apparently TO continue his slumber.
Presently he began 10 breathe hard and
Herbert called out to the jailer. About
thirty minutes later Joseph Hettler, the
jAiler, came In and Herbert told him the
man had taken some medicine and was
breathing hard, Hettler examined the
bottle and found It Labelled chloral. The
two then took Schaen out doors in the
yard, where he ceased breathing a few
minutes later. Those who saw 1t say the
death was very easy one, produced
without any suffering whatever. The
only cause known for the act is that he
has been unfortunate in the tin-shop
business and took TO hard drinking. He
was unmarried, but has mother and
several brothers here.

Alleged to be 116 Years Old.

Says a correspondent who went to Rus
siaville, Ind, for the purpose OF seeing
one who is said to be the oldest resident
of Indiana, Mrs. Mary Coulter, whose
maiden name was Perry. and who claims
to be a near relative of Comm )dore
Perry, of Lake Erie fame:
The old lady was born in the State of
Delaware, in 1869, making her present
age 116 years. She is a remarkably we'll
preserved old lady, who retains all her
faculties except hearing, which is badly
impaired. Her father, John Perry, was
in the Continental army and was on in
innate terms with General Washington,
who frequently visited her fathers house,
and with whom she remembered convers-
ing on such occasions. She has lived
under every president since the origin OF
the government, aud is said to be the
oldest Methodist living, having united
with that church seycnty-tiYe years ago
"a church in which she is still member
in good standing.
she is living with her son, Peter Coul-
ter, who is now eighty-four years of age.
She converscs freely with many persons
who almost daily visit her. She spends
her leisure hours in piecing quilt bloc ks,
which she sells to visitors as fast as they
are made, they being in great demand.
She has a remarkable memory, rugged
constitution, aud bids fair to live severa.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Too much Importance is self-impOr
lance.
You may cheat Others now, but your
self also in the long run.
What man is deficient of in sense he
naturally makes up in mulishness.
Nature is frank, and will allow no
man to abuse himself without giving him
a hint of it.
To do one work well, or to be careful
in doing it, are as much different as
working hard is from being idle.
In writing as we'll as speaking, one
great secret of effective eloquence is to
say what is proper and stop when you
have done.-C Cotton.
Too many young men believe that
''the world owes every man a living, "
and that it requires no effort on mans
part to make the collection.
Much of the world is prejudiced
against facts, because facts stick to the
text and don't go out of the way tocOncoct
palatable medium for the worlds OVID
genteel taste and wise opinions.
No matter how low down man may
get, there is not more than one in every
one hundred of them but will prove true
to a small trust if his pride be strength
ened by your seeming faith in him.
If we must know the right in order to
do it, it is equally needful that we do it
in ordert to know it. The habit of prompt
and unquestioning obedience. TO what
ever appeals to usN' duty puts us into
the very best cond Jon for learning moro
and higher trut$
To be fattered is grateful, even when
we know that our praises are not be,
lieved by those who pronounce them
for they prove at least our power, and
show that our favor is valued, since il
is purchased by the meanness of false

Household Hints and Recipes.

The incest wash cloths are made out
of white Turkish towelling. Cut them
ten inches long and six inches wide, as
they hang on the rack better; hem and
finish with a crocheted scallop of darning
cotton.
To preserve sheep skins or other skins
for mats, dissolve one pound each of alum
and salt in gallon of water. Put the
skin in soon after it is taken from the
sheep, then nail on an old door or smooth
place, skin uppermost, till dry. Line
with cd carpet to prevent the possibil,
ity of any grease getting on the floor.
A good way to serve cold meat is to
chop it fine, and add to it a bunch of
finely chopped celery, and one table
spoonful of homemade mustard, one
tablespoonful of melted butter, one tea
spoonful of salt, half a teaspoonful of
pepper, two hard boiled eggs, rubbed fine
with spoon, and lastly add half cup
of good vinegar.
An old hen can be made tender and
toothsome by proper cooking. And the
way to do it is--to gently stew the an
cient bird four hours; then let her remain
in the water until cooled, and the next
day roast her in the usual way in the
roasting oven. The result is a dish APP
petiling and inviting. The cold biddy"
will be found as tender as full grown
young chicken. Try this plan on some
disagreeable old "clucker."
Half-pound baking powder cans are
nice to bake cake in, making round slices
that look nice for variety. The cans that
tomatoes come in are nice to bake brown
bread in; fill two thirds full. The cans
should have the rims melted off, and
ought to be opened on the sealed end SO
as to leave the bottom smooth Grease
wei before using. When done, cover
with a cloth and let stand a short time,
when the bread will come out smooth.
This is a nice dish of apples: One
pint of the pulp Of roasted apples strain
ed; one half pint of pulveriztd sugar
the whites of three eggs Beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff broth, tn IN
add a spoonful Of apple, and spoonful
of sugar alternately, beating all together
until the mixture stands perfectly stiff on
the spoon. 1t will swell very much.
Make boiled custard of the three yolks
/ of eggs, one pint of milk, two table
spoonfuls of sugar, and flavor with van
liza. Place the custard in saucers, cover
with the apple sauce, and serve,
A way of cooking eggs, which is Meth.
er poaching nor frying, but savors a lit
tie of both, is one which the writer
learned from an old Southern cook, who
proceeded in this way: She rubbed the
bottom Of thick tin saucepan we'll with
cold butter Each egg she broke into q
cup, set the cups in pan, and turned
the buttered saucepan over the tops OF
the cups, and then quickly turned ovel
the whole arrangement, 50 as to bring
the cups inverted in the saucepan, which
she then put over the fire. As the butter
melte she poured in very little water,
raising each cup trifle to let in the wa
ter, but dropping it again before any o.
the egg escaped. In four minutes the
eggs were done When the cups were
t ken off. the eggs were in lovely rounC
shapes, with the yolk just b.ushins
through the thin covering of semi-trans
parent white. --Btmy.
