Delicate Cakes,

Silver cake, delicate cake, white mountain
loaf and lady cake-these, says Catherine
Owen, in Good Housekeeping. are called
sometimes by one name, sometimes by an
other, although it should be said that the
real lady cake is a POUND cake made only
with white of eggs, but as generally me,
with it is made by the following or similar
recipe
White of six eggs, three cupfus of flour, a
cupful of butter Tor half a cupful if less
rich cake is required), two cupfuls of sugar
about a cupful and a half of milk, two full
teaspoonfus of baking powder sifted into the
flour. Beat butter and sugar to cream,
measure the milk, but use only enough of it
to make n stiff batter, sft in flour and add
milk alternately; when quite smooth flavor
with almond, vanilla, orange flower water,
or tho peel of grated lemon, and a few
drops of extract Of rose, whichever may be
preferred. Now slip in tho white of eggs
beaten till they will not slip from the dish
If, when the. eggs are in, the cake is too stiff,
as it most likely will bc, add tho rest of the
milk. Bake in two pans in n good oven for
forty-nve minutes, If q large cako is de-
sired bake in one pan an hour and hall

VIEWS OF THE EDITORS.
Opinions of the Press Upon Mr.. Blaine,
Last Step.

The following is the editorial expression
of New York papers:
The World: Mr.. Blaine Is now definitely out Of
the race. After him, who2
The Star. Mr.. Blaine will not be candidate
for the Presidential nomination at the Republican
Convention in Chicago. The personal letter from
the Plumed Knight TO Whitelaw Reid settles that
question beyond dispute.
The Press: Mr.. Blaine has positively and in
unmistaknble terms withdrawn himself from the
Presidential race. His letter addressed TO Mr..
iWh.telaw Reid was made necessary by the con-
struction put upon his Florence letter by some
Of his more intimate friends and admirers. This
letter is final. Its language is unmistakable.
The Journal: Mr.. Blaines letter may, we
think, be allowed to settle the matter.
The Tribune says: This is an act Of magnani-
nous self-abnegation rare in political history
and sure TO command the appreciation Of his re-
gretful but adiniring countrymen. Meantime
the Republican party Is confronted with the i'm
mediate necessity of making another choice.
The Times SAYS: We fear that there are still
some OF his followers who will refuse TO take
even this declaration rs final, but 1t is nearly
impossible that the convention should not so
take It. The process of drafting" Mr.. Blaine in
70 the party service would seem TO be now COM
pletely imprncticable.
The Herald says: The withdrawal of Mr..
Blaine, by which he now rebukes his narrow
minded and feather-headed friends by repeating
and confirming, was, as said at the time no.
table statesmanshp. In this more than I'm any
other net in his brilliant and varied career he
shows a calmer judgment than his followers.

TcHIcAoo CONTEMPORARIES


Saturday. May %, gave Chicagoans the
last league game that they will sec on the
home grounds until June 20, the Black
stockings departing on the following Mon
day for Washington, where, upon Decora-
ton Day, they played the first two games
of their present Eastern tour,
HE game on Saturday was the third or
the series with Detroit, and was won by
the visitors after having lost the first two
games to Chicago. There were fully 5000
people upon the grounds, and it is proba-
bic that no crowd that had previously gath
cred there ever had more fun in two hours
or did more shouting. 1t was an efferves-
cent crowd that sympathized with the
home team and manifested its partisan
ship in no uncertain manner, but
was ready to expand and bubble over
on the slightest occasion. Hard and weak
hitting, fine fielding. and errors all ranked
alike and were applauded with generous
impartiality. Home runs and hits or plays
that gave the home team an advantage wsrs
treated as special events and were greeted
with frantic demonstrations. The major
ny of the persons present evidently went
there with deliberate intent 10 yell, and
the minority was carried along on the wave
of excitement and had to yell. That was
~
beat the Chicagos by a score of 8 to 8,
the winning run being made in the ninth
inning.
Van Haltren and Darling were in the
points for Chicago, and the visitors bat
terry was Gruber and Bennett. Both teams
did hard hitting, the visitors batting Van
Haltren's curves for eight singles, one
three Dagger, and two home runs, while
the home side gagged Grubers delivery for
ten singles, one double, and two home
rurs. 1t was certainly game well worth
witnessing.
Excepting that Philadelphia has ex-
changed places with Pittsburg, and that
Detroit has passed New York, the relative
positions of the league teams in the cham
pionship raco are the same as they were
week ago. The Chicago team has fallen off
in its percentage, but owing to defeats
sustained by its nearest competitors it has
nearly as great lead as ever. The De-
troits are crowding the Bostons, and only
change of a couple Of games is required
to place the wolverines" in second place.
New York is a pretty good fourth, with
Philadelphia right at its heels and chased
by Pittsburg. The loss Of two games to
Washington and one to Indianapolis was
an unexpected setback to the Smoky
City" team. With Glasscock back in his
position with the "Hoosiers" they will be
troublesome opponents for all the other
teams. They are of course out of the race
for the pennant, but they may prevent
even the Chicagos from winning, just as
the Pittsburgs did last year. The Wash
ingtons are hopelessly in the rear.

The Sioux city Corn Palace Second Annual
Festival

The Sioux city Corn Palace Second Annual
Festival.
The managers take pleasure In announc-
ing that the Sioux City Corn Palace tsec-
ond annual festival will be formally
opened on the oath Of September, 1888.
President Cleveland made his sole de-
partufe from his route as pre- arranged in
the fall of 1887, in Difference to the en-
treaties of Mrs. Cleveland, that they might
feast their eyes on the wonders of that
years Corn Palace. and at the same time
witness the marvellous progress of Sioux
City, The only Corn Palace City Of the
World" President Cleveland, in an out
burst of admiration. said: This Corn
Palace is the first really new thing that has
been shown me" Hon. Chauncey M. De-
pew, standing with Cornelius X. Wander
bilt and other gentlemen, referring to the
Corn Palace, said: II have been all over
the world, and have seen the principal nat
ural and unnatural curiosities, but / have
never before seen Corn Palace"
Encouraged by the compliments of these
great men, and by the popular enthusiasm
and admit alton that made the Corn Palace
Of 81 such an unparalleled success, the
business men of Sioux City have formed a
stock company for the purpose of repeat
ing it on an immensely grander scale, in
tent upon making il one of the solid and en-
during institutions of the country, and an
attractive feature of Sioux City. In the
light of valuable experience it is their de-
termination that the Corn Palace of 1888
shall outrival in design, construction and
beauty any building ever before erected;
that it shall be no eighth won
der of the world; temple to
hondamin, surprising any structure erect
ed by pagan hands to any other of tho
deities. The idea is unique and absolutely
original. No other Corn Palace was ever
before built, nor was the design therefor
ever conceived in the brain Of man. lis
the one new thing under the sun. Those
who invented it "builded even wiser than
they knew" for the marvellous creation ex-
ceeded in beauty, in magnitude, and In orig
inality, all the widest dreams of the orig
inators. Hitherto the hand of man had
erected palaces of stone, and marble. and
ice, but the Sioux City Palace was like
Victor Hugo's conception of Waterloo, "A
change of front Of the universe" an event
that altered the course of empire and for
ever crowned Sioux City as 1.-The only
Corn Palace City of the World" 1t is the
realization of an idea that fixes Sioux City
for all time as the seat of empire Of King
Corn, the centre of the great corn belt,
with its illimitable resources, its tireless
activities, with it's unparalleled prosperity.
The Palace will open Sept. oath and
close Oct. 9Th. 1t viii be national event,
occurring at the Ioveliest time of the year
in one of the most interesting cities of the
country.
Excursion rates will be made from all
parts of the United States, Canada and the

people of this continent an opportunity to
view the Corn Palace, and to see for them
selves the future great city of the north
west, with it's wonderful achievements and
boundless possibilities.
