SLICED BEEF.-A nice way of using
q shin of beef is to cook it until very
tender, so that the meat will readily
fall from the bone. Pick it up fine,
taking out any tough, gristly pieces.
After the liquor in which the meat is
cooked has cooled, remove all the fat,
boil it down to three teacupfuls; then
add the picked up meat; season to
taste with pepper and salt, little nut
meg, half a teaspoonful each of CHINA,
mon, cloves and chopped parsley, ana
a trife of summer savory or thyme,
unless the flavor is disagreeable to any
of the family. Mix the spices well
with the beef, let it boil up, then put
into deep dish or mold, and set in a
cool place to harden. When cut in
thin Slices it makes a nice breakfast,
lunch or tea dish.-Prdirie Farmer.

Struggling with his Memory.

Bobby was spending the afternoon
ut his aunt's and for some moments
had been gazing out of the window in
a painfully thoughtful sort of way.
"What makes you so serious, Bob
by?" asked his aunt.
'"Why, ma told me that I must re-
member not to ask for anything to eat
and Pm trying to remember it."

Do it Now.
BY PHEBE CARY.

If you're told to do n thing,
And mean to do 1t really,
Never let IL be by halves;
Do 1t fully, freely.
When father calls, though pleasant be
The play you are pursuing,
Do not say, "I'll come, when
Have finished what I'm doing"
If you are told to learn n task,
And you should then begin it,
Do not tell your teacher, "Ycs,
I'm coming in q nnin,ne."
Waste not moments, nor your words,
In telling what you could do
Some other time; the present Is
For doing what you should do.
Don't do right unwillingly,
And stop to plan and measure;
IT'S working with the heart and soul
That makes our duty pleasure.

Denounced His Brother.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Nov. 6.-The
Scandalous stories which have been in
circulation for some time regarding the
late ishnp-D-DLattersn Ut the Chill
dren Of Zion church, were to some extent
confirmed by the publication yesterday of
a card frQpr the bishops brother, Elder
John Patterson, who with other leaders
in the church has been investigating the
charges. The story which has been told,
and which has been confirmed by the
bishops brother, is substantially as fol-
lows; The bishop died about a month
ago in Northern France. Two years g
when he left here for tho last time to visit
his congregation in Scotland and to make
a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, he was
accompanied by Mary Hawley, the daugh.
ter of a respectable family in his congre-
cation and known in church circles as the
"Handmaid of Christ" She Joined him
in New York and, it is said, travelled with
him as his wife until his death. 1t is
alleged that a child was born to them,
and that when Elder Spencer of this city,
the bishops vicar in this part of the
country, saw the child in Scotland, where
he was called to receive instructions, he
made some comments. The bishop be-
can e angry, took away Spencer's author
ity and expelled him from the church.
Since the bishop death the story became
common property, and the church was
compelled to take notice of it. The
elders and leaders in the church with the
bishops brother, Elder John Patterson,
instituted an investigation, and yesterday
the card mentioned above was issued.
The bishops wife and family of several
children live here, and the public expos
ure is very trying to them.

Foreign Notes.

LONDON, Nov. 6.-The people in and
around the vicinity OF Middleton, County
Cork, are furious over the killing of
Ahearn. The police were hooted in the
streets to-day by a large crowd, who fol-
lowed and branded them as 'murderers,' >
"Balfour's bloodhounds, etc., Until they
were charged upon and dispersed. AS
often as the crowds were dispersed, how.
ever, they reassembled and resumed their
cries. The windows of a shopkeeper, in
whose shop several of the constables took
refuge when closely pursued, were
smashed with stones, and the proprietor
as well as the refugees narrowly escaped
injury. Extensive preparations are max
ing to give Ahearn a public funeral to-
morrow, and a serious outbreak is feared
unless the police force can be very largely
augmented.
H. G. Edwards, first secretary of the
British legation at Washington, who has
returned home on leave of absence, is
hourly expecting to be sent back to Wash
ington to succeed his late chief, Lord
Sackville. The various degrees of popu-
ldT luulBndtlOn WHICH nave prevailed In
consequence of Lord Sackville's dismissal
are still maintained and perhaps some
what heightened by the increased virul-
ence of newspaper comment.
Tho editorial in the last number of 81.
Stephens Rev1eW accusing the socialists
Of intending to create riots in London
during the coming winter the first of a
series of disorders beginning on Lord
Mayors day, has led the editor of the
Socialist to write a letter on the subject.
hlie this person wakes indignant at this
accusation, however, he does not give any
assurance that 1t was not well founded.
Although, he says, at a recent meeting of
the central socialist committee such a
course as suggested by the ReUie1o may
have been proposed by some of the mem
beers and the proposition discussed, no de-
tails were decided upon, nor will there be,
if at all, until next Thursday night, when
the committee will hold another meeting.
The tone of the letter indicates that mis-
chiefs intended if the means and cir
cumstances will allow it, but it is extreme
ly unlikely that there will be any consid-
cradle disturbance in view of the extraor-
binary precautions and determination of
| the police.

hEW YORK.

New YORK, Nov. 6.-The election in
New York state to-day is for governor,
lieutenant governor, associate justice of
tie court of appeals and assemblymen, as
well as for congressman and presidential
electors. Preparations have been made
to collect the vote for the president and
governor by districts. OF such districts
there are in the entire state 1886. OF
this number l,23S are found in New York
and Kings county, thus leaving in the
state outside of these counties 2,10S. As
fast as the returns from the state at large
are received they will be carefully tabu
lated and compared with the vote for
president in 1884 and the vote for gov
ernor in 1885. At brief intervals bullet
ms will be issued of the following form:
So many election districts in New York
state outside of New York and Kings
counties give Cleveland so much, Har-
rison SO much, and Fisk so much. The
same districts four years ago gave Cleve-
land so much, Blaine so much, and st.
John 80 much.
Bulletins for governor will be of the
same general form. The returns of New
York City and Kings counties will be re-
ported separately. In the general bull
letins of New York City it will be i'm
practicable to institute any comparison
with the vote of 1884, as in many assem-.
bly, districts there has been a general
Encouragement of polling precincts. AS
fast as the vote of the different assembly
districts, however. is completely reported,
a comparison will be made with the vote
OF four years ago. Electors, 2 for the
state ticket, 8 for congressman, 4 for as.
sembly men, 5 for the city ticket.
The election is being quietly carried on.
BY 9 o'clock a large number of votes we're
cast. At 6 o'clock the polling places
were opened INT all banks, mercantile
houses and public offices were closed. To
get the voters out early buglers and bell
ringers were sent through the election
precincts before the polls opened to wake
the people up. In two or three districts,
owing to the non-appearance of the cleo
ton inspectors, the polls were not opened
till 8 or 9 o'clock, and it is doubtful
whether a full vote can be polled.
A number of arrests we're made for
various causes. Coogan for mayor is
running strictly in the labor districts.
The county Democracy claim Hewitt for
mayor. He is polling a larger vote than
when he was elected two years ago.
NEwBURG. Nov. 6.-The weather is
10y clear. The labor vote is largely Re.
publican here. The Prohibition vote will
be smaller than in five years. Harrison
will have 400 or 500 majority. Hill is
running ahead of Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, Nov. en- answer to
an inquiry from the United States consul
at Havre, regarding the right of certain
Chinese sailors shipped from the United
States on American vessels and paid off,
and discharged abroad, to reship and re-
turn to the United States, the secretary
of the treasury says: Chinese having
been landed and paid off are no longer in
any wise within the jurisdiction and under
the control of the United States govern
ment and must be considered as having
departed from the United States.

British coast. Several vessels have been

RiEhIPd,

The most delicate and intricate piece of
mechanism in the human structure is the
nerves. As the Geographic wires trans
init the electric force, so do these sensa-
ions. the focal force being the braiu,
where sensation centers. Mental anxiety
weakeus this mechanism, sudden shocks
paralyze it, but dyspepsia is Its most
obdurate foe. This foe is utterly defeated
by the irresistible tonic Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters, and the cessation of disorder
in the stomach is reflected in brain
and nerves by restored tranquility. and
tranquility of the nerves implies, in this
instance, renewed vigor. A distinguished
medical authority says: The victim OF
nervous disquietude who finds choral at
night and bromides by day necessities,
should know that a cure must be sought
among agencies which strengthen the
nerves" and assuredly Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has proved to be the best of
these. Malarial complaints, constipation,
biliousness, inactivity of the kidneys and
rheumatism often involve nervous troubles
by sympathy, and all are eradicated by the
Bitters.

MlXED.
The Election Returns Flowing in
Quite Lively.
They Form a Good Deal of the
Usual tumble.
New Jersey, Connecticut and Indi-
ana Democratic.
New York Is Now the Big Bone of
Contention,
But the Official Count Will Show
Her Democratic.
The Outlook.

AT 3 o'clock this morning national poll
tics certainly presented a very mixed up
appearance. Indiana, New Jersey and
Connecticut, despite some lingering un-
certainty regarding them, are undoubt-
eddy Democratic. Every thing now him
ges on New York. The tendency of the
dispatches during the early hours this
morning was to give a Republican COM
plexion to the returns. The figures so far
received are scarcely satisfactory. The
apparent maiorities and apparent gains
have shifted with such startling tre-
quency as to show that the final show
down will make it very close. News
paper reports do not agree. The Times
claims the state for Cleveland; the Herald
is willing to concede that the indications
are that Harrison is elected.
With a mass of unofficial figures to
contend with neither party can yet find
much cause for exuberance in the returns.
Each telegram brings the claims closer
together and there is now no doubt that
AL OhlSldl COuuI VIII NC IcQNiIou W oeCluc
to which candidate the electoral votes be-
longs.
1t is the Judgment OF THE LEADER
that appearances in the case of New
York are deceptive, and to-day's more re-
liable returns will show the Empire state
to be unquestionably Democratic. We
believe Grover Cleveland to be elected,
and it will require something more sub
s%tantial than the iumbled returns so far
received to convince us to the contrary.
Look for the returns to-day and see
what they bring.
The Hartford, Conn, Courant figures
that with the small towns to hear from,
which cannot change the result, Cleve-
land has $50 plurality.
