veritable political court at Clermont-Ferrand

agitation and a system for corrupting officials.
Notwithstanding these acts he had written to
the war Office disclaiming any connection with
what had been done in his name. Here there
were protests from the senators belonging to
the party Of the right. The procureur general
declared there were documents before the court
which clearly marked the downward path of
Gen. Boulanger from INSTRUMENTATION 10 in
trigue, falsehood and conspiracy The gov
ernment also had evidence to show that Gen
Boulanger had tried to have conveyed to
Prince Bismarck the information that he
(Boulanger) only desired to be appointed con-
sui for life. The procureur general described
the proceedings of the league of patriots at
Rochefort and the initial steps Of the attempt
against the state, which commenced with the
scene at the Lyons depot when Boulanger
started for Clermont-Ferrand, and continued
until the Long Champs review. when Bou-
LANCER was hiding in Paris awaiting the result
of his manifesto
The procureur's speech was received with
many impatient cries of Adjourn, adjourn"
The trial was finally adjourned

Five Girls, All I'm Red.
rom the Minneapolis Journal

From the Minneapolis Journal
There are some hundreds. more or less. of
smart young men in town. who are impressed
with the idea that there is nothing that the
hard worked and obliging young ladies at the
telephone exchange like so well as flirting with
idiots at the other end of the wire. The crush
ing rebukes at times administered to the con-
ceited simpletons Is as the fame of the candle
to the moth. and they only live to tempt fate
again. Some time ago there one of those
nice boys who worked in a fruit store across
the street from the telephone exchange. He
conceived a kind of long distance lnfatuation
for the young lady who answered the phone in
the store and poured a stream of silly nothings
into her unwilling ear at every opportunity
Finally she resolved to teach him lesson. One
day the young man was talking TO the operator.
and expressed violent desire to see her With
much assumed coyness she at length told him
she would grant his request She said if he
would gaze at a certain window of the exchange
at the hour of high noon she would appear He
would recognize her from the fact that she
wore red dress. The appointed time came
and the smitten youth planted himself in front
of the store and gazed with all his ewes and
soul at the window of the telephone exchange.
Horrorsl Instead of one there were five girls
In red dresses smiling down upon him. 1t was
too much and he fled. 1t was reported on good
authority that the girl who put up the Job was
not one Of the five.

Bound to Know How it Worked.

from the Phnadeiphla Inquirer.
A man created sensation on a Delaware
ferry boat yesterday by reaching under the
seats OF the cabin, taking out one of tie hun
dreds OF life preservers there and proceeding
with the utmost deliberation to put it on.
'Whst's the natter" asked one excited man.
"ls the boat sinking?" Dozens looked around.
saw the man make preparations to save himself
and were thrown into fever of excitement.
There had been no alarm, SO they then cooled
on again and began to think the man insane.
But he was perfectly cool and apparently
sane enough. He went right on without the
slightest attention to anybody's questions or
excitement to fasten the life preseryer on.
When he got it on he looked at it, seemed sat-
isied with his survey of himself and then inst
as deliberately took it of, put it in its former
place and sat down again. He had made eyery-
body around perspire, though he looked as cool
as a cucumber.
An old. honest-looking gentleman who hap
pened to be sitting near, gave him a auzzical
look which provoked him to say: You think
l am fooR Well, hadnever put on a life pre-
server until that minute and never knew how.
Every time 1 boarded boat felt ashamed of
my Ignorance, which might some day cost me my
lite. Just made up my mind to try one. There
Is stock OF life preservers There are fifty
people on the boat I'll bet my hat (here he
began to increase his tone until the whole
cabin could hear) that not five in the fifty know
how TO put one on" He ceased and looked
around. No one took him up. He resumed
reading his paper

FINDING BODIES AT YOUNGSTOWN,
Yet the State Will Abandon the Work
of Clearing Up the Ruins.

Two more bodies were taken out Of the sand
ct Johnstown, Pa, yesterday. One was identi-
fed as that Of Alex. Hamilton, jr., a prominent
resident Of the town. 1t is very evident that
there are yet great many bodies to be found
in the cellars and other places where there are
piles Of dirt. Notwithstanding this condition.
1t is likely that the force of workmen employed
by the state will soon be withdrawn, and if that
is done there will be many bodies that are now
only few feet under the sand that will lie
there until their bones are exposed by accident.
Under orders from the governor the en-
ployes, to the number of about eighty who
were under the immediate direction of the
sanitary corps will all be dismissed today, and
only three or four men will be left on duty in
the office of the state board OF health This
turn OF affairs is dIscouraging to Johnstown
people. who had hoped to see enough men put
to work to clean out all the cellars and take
away the foul-smelling rubbish everywhere.

them in porcelain-lined kettle, tomatoes and
onions alternately; add one pound Of the best
yellow mustard and cover them with vinegar.
Boil steadily one hour and pack it away in
stone Jars.
Tomato soy is delightful relish. and requires
one peck of green tomatoes and twelve large
white onions. Slice thin and lay them on
dshes in alternate layers, sprinkling a little
salt on each layer. Let them stand twenty-four
hours; drain and put them in kettle with the
following spices scattered through: One ounce
each Of black pepper, mace, allsplce, cloves.
mustard. celery seed (bruised), three pods of
red pepper, sliced thin and three tablespoon
fuls Of brown sugar. Cover the whole with
vinegar and boil slowly until clear. Pack away
in large stone jar and pour over the whole
half pint each Of the best olive oil and brandy
mixed.
