Cinnamon at Supper.

1t is interesting to see Cinnamon at
their meals for their table etiquette and
manners are entirely different from
our own. 1t would be quite natural if
after living in this country four five
or possibly ten years, they become
accustomed TO our own manner OF
living, but they never do and all OF
them eat as they do at home far across
the water. A PIONEER reporter sur
prised the two laundrymen who do
business in Central Row, while at sup
per and had the rare privilege of see
ing them dine. Their manner to a
novice is most interesting and unique
and their custom is here presented.
They have no table, such piece of
furniture being deemed unnecessary
and their spotless white cloth is spread
directly upon the-4loor. Upon this the
reporter noticed three wooden plates
and one tin dish. Two OF these plates
were used to eat from and the remain
ing one had upon it some cold meat.
The tin dish contained merely Il liberal
supply of boiled rice, their chief diet.
In this dish was one.spoon, a large iron
one, and used only in transferring the
rice froiu the tin dish to the wooden
plate, and it is then rolled in small
balls with their fingers, and thence
placed in their mouth, without the use
of spoon, knife or fork The meat is all
cut before placed on the wooden plat.
ter, and when one wishes some, it is
deposited upon their wooden plates
with their fingers, and then placed in
their mouth by the use OF chop sticks,
in the handling of which Cinnamon are
very proficient. AS they sit cross legged
upon the floor eating in their own
simple way, it is easily seen how they
can live so cheaply and save the money
which they carry back home and en-
joy in their old age.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany is making extensive improve
ments at the Federal street depot,
Camden, which will be hailed with joy
by the people who have for years
been annoyed by the smoke and noise
and danger of drilling cars on Bridge
avenue. All these nuisances will be
obviated, the company's officials claim.
Then, too, the thousands of travellers
to Cape May, Atlantic City, and the
other New Jersey coast resorts, the
roads TO which centre at the foot OF
Federal street, will not be compelled
to walk block through the ferry
house to reach their trains.
Three pile-drivers, two dredging ma
chimes and q regiment of workmen,

Philadelphia, are working hard to get
the improvements completed before
cold weather shall stop them.

A prominent fruit dealer remarked
yesterday, Il never knew fruit to be
so high at this season of the year.
Why, in the Philadelphia wholesale
markets find it almost impossible to
buy stuff SO that / can retail it at
respectable prices. Pineapples are
very high, and it is a cheap lot if you
can buy them to retail at less than
twenty-five cents a piece. To what
cause do | attribute these high prices?
Well, the whole thing is just here:
The trade in foreign fruits has grown
TO such proportions that the demand
far exceeds the supply, and the de-
mand is constantly increasing, while
the producers are doing but little
more than in the past.

AN ELECTRIC LIGHT MONOPOLY,

EVANSVILLE, IND, July 2S.-An in
teresting mandainus proceeding has
just been instituted in this city by
the Citizens Electric Company against
the Gas and Electric Light Company.
The Citizens is new company which
the Common Council at the last session
refused a franchise. This precipitated
the mandamus proceeding which sets
out that the old gas company accom-
piished their defeat, and that the said
company is thus given exclusive privil.
eyes constituting monopoly which is
odious in law. The writ denies the con-
stitutional right of the municipal legisla-
ture to give franchise to one company
and deny it to one of similar character.
The question was recently raised on the
Identical point regarding a franchise
for natural gas at Elwood, and the SUI
preme Court handed down decision
declaring against exclusive franchise,
and that all corporations should stand
upon the same footing. The sympathy
of the entire community, is with the
new company, which guarantees to fur
nish thirty lights at one-half the price
now paid. The question is unique
one, and will have tendency to disturb
many other corporations in the, State
until tits finally settled. 1t has caused
no little excitement in this community
as the new company promises saving
of Sic, 600 per annum. Ablest legal tai
ent will contest the question.

About seven o'clock on Saturday
morning the barge Oneida, Of Milwau-
kee, in tow Of the tug Fred. Engel,
crashed into the south end of Main
street bridge, smashing the woodwork
and breaking and twisting the iron
supports. The bowsprlt of the barge,
which belongs to n. r. Allen & Sons,
was carried away. The bridge was open
at the time. 1t is said the cause of the
collision was that there was too much
line between the tug and the vessel,
which allowed the latter to veer from
side to side. A special meeting of the
Council was held on Saturday evening
and contract was given to the build.
ers of the bridge, who reside at Milwau-
kee, to repair it for 5000. Special meet
ings of the Council were also held on
Monday and Tuesday evenings for the
purpose of receiving proposition from
the owners Of the tug and fixing the
damage. They were let off for $500 and
the legal costs incurred. The tug is
owned by Messrs. Albert and Henry
Borkenhagen and Fred. Schulz.

SAD ACCIDENT

A very sad accident occurred at noon
on Tuesday on Mr.. r. F. Roberts farm
at Woodwork. resulting in the death
of his youngest son, Frederick. A
sucking colt got through a gap near
the house, and the young man threw
his arms around its neck and turned it
round. AS soon as he loosened his
hold the colt kicked him in the region of
the heart. He fell down, got up and
walked few steps, then fell again, and
shortly after expired. His father and
mother were Immediately on the spot.
and he told them the colt kicked him,
but he guessed he would be all right
in a few minutes. DR.. Scherer, of
Bristol, and. DIR. Devlin, of this city,
were Immediately summoned but life
was extinct before either of them got
there. His funeral services were held
at the house yesterday at o'clock.
Deceased was nearly 1S years of age,
was a young man of much promise,
and universal favorite with all who
knew him. His parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of the communit y
in their terrible affection.

The committee of the G. A. r. having
iii charge the fund for building a Keno
sha County Cottage at the Veterans
Home at Waupaca has collected $10S.6O.
Under the Is cent limit that was i'm.
posed, it does not seem possible to raise
the requisite $3.50 which is necessary to
have distinctively KenoshG County Cot
tage. The committee therefore deem it
proper and expedient to remove the 25
cent limit, hoping thereby to raise the
balance of the amount. Because Of q
desire expressed by many subscribers TO
give larger amounts, and because Of an
abiding faith in the patriotism and coun-
| ty pride of the people, the committee
feels confident that the requisite balance
will soon be raised now that the limit is
removed.
Let each good citizen become a geaer.
Gus and prompt subscriber and an ardent
promoter of this worthy enterprise, SC
that the Kenosha County Cottage may
protect some war-scarred veteran and
his faithful wife from the chilling blasts
tof the coming winter.

MAXIMS FOR YOUNG HOUSE
KEEPERS.

It spoils vegetables to allow them to
boil slowly. They should be dropped in
to boiling water and kept boiling rapidly
until cooked.
All water used in cooking should be
brought to boil very quickly, and used
as soon as it reaches the boiling point.
One-third Of teaspoonful of molasses
is good substitute for wine glass of
brandy in fruit cakes or buildings.
Put fresh fish in salt water half an
hour before using. It improves the
flavor and nardens the flesh.
In warming over vegetables of.any
sort, the fire should be very hot and the
heating quickly done. 3
Coffee cakes should be wrapped, while
warm, in napkin, and there remain
until cut.
Bar soap goes much farther if bought
by the quantity and dried before using.
If you have not an ice chest place
your fish in vinegar over night. It will
be kept perfectly.
