An Old Fashioned Plump I'd
ding, /,

An Old-Fashioned Plum Pud-
ding,
From the Detroit Tribune.
A Detroit artist was found one
day deep in the mysteries ofThanks
giving plum-pudding.
How do you prepare it?' she was
asked.
"Well," brushing daub of flour
off her nose, .sthe old English plum
pudding is "a pound ofraisins seeded,
pound of currents we'll washed,
dried, and Toured, pound of citro on
cut into shreds, one pound Of suet
chopped fine, cinnamon, salt, allspice
and nutmeg, one cup of sweet milk,
one pound Of brown sugar, and one
bowl of -four. -
"a bowl Of -four? What sized bowl?''
'"The old rule is "a pint's a pound
the world around SO pint bowl is
pound, you see Mix the ingredi-
ents we'll together: take thick piece
of cotton-twilled cotton is the best
butter. it we'll, dredge -four over it
thickly, put the mass of fruit and
flour into it, and tie up securely,
leaving room for the pudding to
swell or rise properly; put the bag or
cloth, into boiling water and keep it
boiling for six or twelve hours-the
longer the BETTER"
is that all?''
'.The next step is to eat it, but be-
fore taking a good sauce should be
shaken up Of butter, sugar and
brandy. Some prefer wine, but
brandy sauce is the best, and as
plum-pudding time is only once or
twice a year one can afford the best.
81 have ano Their recipe more es-
thetic in it's quality" continued Mrs.
Congdon, (Which I am making for
my patrons--a we'll tested recipe, for
the goodness Of which many OF our
Oldest inhabitants could vouch if they
only knew whoseit is; and this is: To
the quantity of fruit which have al
ready given add an ounce of chopped
sweet almonds, two ounces chopped
candied orange and lemon peel, one
pound stale bread crumbs soaked
in milk and then squeezed dry,
eight eggs, cinnamon, cloves and all
spice, a wine-glass Of brandy, and a
pound of sugar. Let the brandy
stand awhile on the fruit; beat the
eggs very light and add the sugar
first, then all the rest of the ingre-
dents, mixing thoroughly. Tie lose
ly in bag or form of tin and steam
for six or eight hours.
'By the way, good housekeepers
prepare their plum buildings week
or two before using them and hang
them in a cool place where they can
obtain a richness that no fresh made
pudding can acquire. make them,
you see, in all sizes, from one pound
up to five. They are in great de-
mand and save housekeepers a great
deal OF trouble in getting them all
ready for the table, ,.-...
rs there anything new in the way
Of saucer" ...'
"French candied fruits we'll chop
ped are finding favor and l have
heard that sugared crumpled rose
leaves are being used, but | think
there is nothing better than a good
rich brandy or wine sauce. Lighted
candles placed around the pudding
is a new fad and take the place of
burning brandy" ~, ..z

"Never mind Ship answered the

"We got whale"
We now contrived to right the
boat and bail it out, when Hindok
dashed it to the whale.
And thus we lay, outriding the
storm, far away in mid-ocean, not
knowing when or how we would be
picked up.
We were both hungry and thirsty;
but every drop of fresh water, and
all the salt meat and biscuit usually
carried in whale boats, had been
spilled out by the capsizing Of the
light craft.
We did not sleep wink that night.

CHARGE OF THE STRIPED BRIGADE.
The Prisoners In CharlestoWn Prison
Make Dash for Liberty.
The Convict Yell, Breaking Glass
and One or TWO Broken Heads.
A Desperate Scheme to Fire the
Buildings and Then Escape.

BOSTON, August For some time past
trouble has been brewing at the Charlestown
state prison, having its origin in the objec-
tion OF the inmates to the enforcement of
the Bertillon system Of measurements. The
recent escape Of the prisoner Moore and the
unsuccessful attempt of "Chicken" Walsh,
a notorious convict, has served to keep mat
ters unsettled. This afternoon, at about
o'clock, the convicts in the shoe shop refused
to obey the orders of their keepers, and as
If by prearranged signal all at once set up
terrific yell. Missiles of every description
were sent flying in all directions. The win
dows on the north and west sides were en-
tirely demolished, and the men made dash
for the yard. A large express wagon, stand
ing IN the enclosure. was pushed toward the
and in the excitement, 1t was capsized. The
crowd rushed for the various walls. Instant
ly the sentries began firing, at first to fright
en- the conyicts, later to kill. The other Off
GERS OF the Institution, were quickly on hand,
and with drawn revolverS soon massed the
gang in groups after hard fight, in which
clubs were freely used. Many of the con-
victs' heads were badly crushed. Word was
quickly sent to police headquarters, and in a
short time about 200 officers reached the
ing the yard they were met with a cry of de-
rision by the convicts, who were finally
locked up in their cells.
1t is not thought any of the prisoners were
seriously wounded by the guards. The ex-
citement has not fully subsidized. Several
convicts were found hidden about the shops
and 1t was feared one or two had escaped.
The guard on the walls was more than tre-
bled, and large number of police massed In
the yard and corridors, while 30 or more off,
GERS guard the streets leading to the prison.
After the. prisoners were locked up they con-
tinued yelling for some time. They were
then taken from the cells singly and thor
oughly searched. The rising today is said to
have been instigated by "Chicken" Walsh,
one of the most desperate members of the old
Albany street gang. it being the scheme Of
the gang to scale the walls and escape during
the excitement sure to follow. Walter Evans,
another of the Albany street crowd, is said
to have fired two shots from revolver
through shop window at sentryman Moore,
without hitting him. Where he obtained the
weapon Is a mystery. The officials at the
prison at a late hour this afternoon declined
to give details of the affair to the press, but
promised statement later.

40 REVISED BY SENATOR'S.
Lodge Bill In General Features
Some Details Changed.

WASHINGTON, August by party vote,
the Senate committee on privileges and cleo
tions today decided to report to the Senate
the substitute prepared by the Republican
members for what is known as the Lodge
election bill. 1t changes the original bill in
the following particulars. All reference to
that section of the revised statutes which,
it was claimed. provides for the presence of
troops at the polls Is stricken out and there
is no change from the present law in that
respect. The house to house can
vass provided for in the House bill is strick-
en- out. The provision for drawing
juries by commissioners is omitted, leaving
the law as at present. Penal offences are
simplified and made misdemeanors instead
of fel0nies. The punishments are modified,
the highest punishment imposed being three
years imprisonment and fine of $1,000. The
Judge of the circuit court before whom appii-
cation is made for appointment as supervis-
ors is authorized to appoint as supervisors
any persons he may see fit, not being confined
in his selection to a list furnished by the
chief supervisor. In cases where ballots are
cast in the wrong box, they are not to be
counted unless the tally sheet shows the
votes for congressman do not equal the num-
ber of names on the polll list. Tehn enough
votes so wrongly cast may be added to the
tally sheet to make the total equal to the
whole number of votes shown to be cast.

THE KEMMLER EXECUTION.
Comment on the New Method In
Two HemIspheres.

New YORK, August 7.-Nowhere in New
York was the news Of Kemmler's execution
awaited with deeper interest than In the Of
fees Of the electrical experts and the elec.
trio lighting companies. The prevailing
opinions among all those whom reporters in
terviewed on the subject was that the uncer-
tainty of electricity's action as death-deal-
ing agent was more conclusively proved than
ever.
Thomas A. Edison says that the electricity
should have been applied through the hand
instead Of the head. Mr.. Edison says: "The
reason why contact by the hand is so much
more fatal than through the head is that
electricity travels through the water in the
human body. The head Of the hair Is non-
conductor. The bones are also non-conduc-
tors, and in electrical executions like that of
Kemmler the bones Of the skull have to be
penetrated The papers say Kemmler's
skin was burned at the back Of the neck
This statement proves that he got only a
very small part Of the current. Had he re-
ceived the whole 1900 volts into his body 1t
would have burned him up"
LONDON, August THE Chronicle, COM
menting on the killing Of Kemmler by cleo
tricity, says the scene was worthy Of the
darkest chambers Of the Inquisition in the
10th century.
The Times says it is impossible to imagine
more revolving exhibition. 1t advocates a
lethal chamber in preference to the use Of
electricity.
The Standard says the scene was dis
grace to humanity. 1t will send thrill of
Indignation throughout the civilized world.

THE WARpEN's ACCOUNT.
He Expected Trouble and was All
Ready for 1t.

Boston, August I'm an interview with
Warden Russell tonight 1t was ascertained
that the casualties resulting from the riot
were not numerous. as first reported. The
fght was sharp and the trouble the most Sc
rious that has taken place at the prison for
many years. The warden expected trouble
yesterday and police attached to the Charles
town station were held in readiness. At 2
this afternoon the warden felt morally GER
tain the crisis was near at hand and sum-
m0ned sergeant from station Is, who was
stationed at the police signal box near the
prison entrance. About a call for help
came from the harness shop where over 100
men are employed. Quickly notifying the
sergeant Warden Russell at once rushed to
the shop and found everything in the wild

line and marched to their cells. They were
locked up without the slightest trouble. The
others at once rushed into the yard and into
the other shops, endeayoring to reach the
walls.
By this time Captain Gaskin and 40 officers
reached the prison yard, having made the
trip in patrol wagons in less than five min
utes after they received word that
their services were required. A short
which one convict was considerably bruised
about the head with an officers club and
several officers received scratches. This
was the extent Of the injuries. All the
men were safely under lock and key within
10 minutes from the beginning of the up
rising.
The revolver with which Evans fired at
the sentry cannot be found. A box Of car
tridges was found in Evans cell. The war
den has felt certain for five or six months
past that there was revolver in some con-
vict's possession brought in by an ex-convict
visitor, but it could not be found. The
warden has rs men locked in the strong
cells tonight. He is of the opinion that fully
100 were connected. directly or indirectly, with
the movenet There are but 80 Of these
cells in the prison and in some cases he has
been compelled to put five or six men to-
gether They will be kept on bread and
water until they express willingness to obey
the rules of the prison. During the confu-
sion in the harness shop fire was started
by some of the prisoners but quickly ex-
tinguished. 1t is thought to have been the
plan to start confagration and in the ex-
citement attending the entry Of the fire de-
partment into the yard, when the out ter
gates must have been opened, to make a
break for liberty. The warden estimates
the damage to property at about $4,000.
