PANCAKES IN VARIETY.

On cold winter mornings pan cakes of
all kinds hold an important place at the
breakfast table; the buckwheat cake the
most cherished of all. When properly
made. this is the most delicious of all the
griddle cakes, but it has been against it
when made from yeast or risen over night
that it was difficult to make light and
sweet, and that disagreeabie effects fire.
quently followed its eating. 1t is found
that by the use of the Royal Baking
Powder to raise the batter these objec-
lions have been entirely overcome, and
that buckwheat cakes are made most
delicious food, light, sweet, tender and
perfectly wholesome, that can be eaten
by anyone without the slightest digestive
inconvenience. Once tested from the fol-
lowing receipt no other Will be used:
Two cups of bucky heat, one cup of wheat
-four, two tablespoons of Royal Baking
Powder, one half teaspoOnful of salt, all
sifted well together. Mix with milk into
a thin batter and bake at once on hot
griddle.
The purest and richest syrup is made
by dissolving sugar in the proportion OF
three pounds of sugar to one pint of wa
ter. Many persons prefer the flavor OF
syrup made OF Orleans sugar to that
made Of the white.
Rice griddle cakes are very delicious.
The rice is cooked until perfectly soft
drained dry, mashed with a spoon until
the grains are well broken up. For each
cupful of rice take two eggs, one pint of
milk, one heaping teaspoonful of Royal
Baking Powder, one-half teaspoonful OF
salt, and -four enough to make thin
batter.
For hominy cakes take two cupfuls OF
cooked hominy, and crush it with pota-
to-masher until it is a smooth mass. Add
one level teaspoonful of salt, two tea
spoonfuls OF Royal Baking Powder, and
one cupful of -four. Stir together; then
add by degrees one quart OF milk. and
lastly three well beaten eggs. Bake IN
thin cakes.
Very delicate and delicious cakes are
made by allowing two teaspoonfuls OF
Royal Baking Powder and one-half tea
spoonful of salt to one quart of milk, and
sufficient corn meal, mixing all into a
smooth, thin batter; no eggs or butter
are used for these. The cakes bake
quickly to a rich deep brown, and are ex-
tremely tender and light.
A very delicious, sweet pancake is made
by taking one pint of sweet milk, four
eggs, two tablespoonful of powdered
sugar, two tablespoonfuls of melted but
ter, one teaspoonful of Royal Baking
Powder, and -four enough to make a
moderately thin batter. Beat the eggs,
whites and yelks separately, until well
frothed, stir the butter, sugar, and one
cupful of -four, into which the baking
powder has been mixed, into the yelks
then add the milk. If needed, add more
-four. Bake in small cakes, butter each
one as it comes from the fire. place four
in pile, with very thin layers of any
kind of sweet jelly between, and powder
ed sugar over the top. They should be
baked very thin and four served to each
person.

SANTA CRUZ, June 13th.-It was thought
that all the living witnesses to the murder
OF Dennis Bennett by Joseph Graham,
thirty eight years ago were dead, but this
afternoon the prosecution placed on the
stand Lansing Haight, of Arizona, who tes-
titled that he was building cabin for Ben
nett at the time of the murder. He was in
the cabin with deceased when Graham
rode up on horseback with double bar

Graham to come in, but the latter refused
Bennett was admiring Graham's horse, and
reached around to the left side of the horse,
on line with the muzzle of the gun.
when Graham fred the shot striking Ben
nett in the breast, near the heart. Bennett
fell to the ground, dying almost instantly.
Graham rode off into the sand hills, out of
the regular road, and witness had not seen
him since.
Mrs. Shelby, sister of deceased, testi-
fed that Graham came to the house where
she and her sister were and asked for the
boys. She directed him to the cabin where
Dennis was. Soon after she heard a scream
and the report of gun. She ran out and
saw her brother lying on the ground. She
raised his head, and he gave one gasp and
died. Graham she saw riding rapidly of,

The defense will endeavor to prove the
shooting justi6able. They expect to prove
conspiracy among the Bennetts to make
away with him and his father, Captain
Graham, and divide their wealth among
themselves. There was an almost breath
less stiffness in the Courtroom when the
witness related the story of the tragedy.
The case will be resumed tomorrow morn

CONVENTION GOSSIP.
What Delegates are Saying and Doing at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, June 13th.-The most remark
able feature of the political situation
throughout the day was the strong under
current for Blaine. There are many men
from all parts of the country around the
political headquarters who still think
Blaine is the coming man. They quoted
his speech in which he said that no man
had right TO refuse the call of his coun-
try, if 1t came unanimous, and concluded
that Blaine would not be the first to violate
his own principle.
There was great activity at the Gresham
headquarters to-day. A register was kept
open, and every Gresham man who dropped
in put down his name.
Many former residents of New York
held meeting in Gresham's rooms this
afternoon for the purpose of booming the
Judge. They organized a committee to
receive the New York delegation with all
hospitality. They called upon all former
New Workers now residents in Chicago to
lend their active cooperation.
The names of those who will make the
nominating speeches was the subject of
considerable inquiry to-day. General Alger
will be nominated by Albert B. Frazier, of
Detroit. lawyer and an old campaigner.
General Harrison will be nominated by ex-
Governor Albert c. Porter, of Indiana.
General Sherman's name will be presented
by General Hastings, Attorney-G General of
Pennsylvania. Judge Gresham will proba-
bly, be nominated by Leonard Sweet, of
Chicago.
The two most observed newcomers to-
day were Murat Halsted, of Cincinnati,
and Chauncey T. Filley, of St. Louis. Hal
sted was outspoken for Sherman, but Fill
ley was non-committal.

stood here and voted for the principles of

his State, and refused to do so when appli-
cable to other States. Therefore he would
not vote for the amendment. The farmers

Resolved, That in our judgment the citizens
and industries of this country cannot be pro-
tected in a better way than by placing pro-
tective tariff on all articles imported from other
countries that can be produced by our own peo-
pie, in order that those who produce them may
be better able to demand that to which as citi-
Zens and upholders of the Government they
are justly entiIled-an equitable share of the
profits of their toll, to maintain their families
in decency; that they may be able to educate
their children and teach them, as they advance
towards manhood, to defend the principles of
our system of Government.
Res0Ued, That we are most emphatically OPP
posed TO any reduction of the present tariff and
we hereby express our unqualified condemna-
ton OF the Mills bill. believing, as we do. that
its adoption as law would be detrimental to
the interests of American workmen and we
respectfully call upon our Representatives in
congress to vote against 1t.
