VIOLATIONS oF LAW.

The Attention of the Authorities Called
to Continued Violation of the Alien Con-
tract Labor Law by the Importation OF
Canadians to Chicago and Other Points
In the Country.
WASHINGTON, May 90 Secretary
Window has sent letter to Immigrant
Inspector Stitch, of Chicago, in refer
ence to reported violations of the Alien
Contract Labor law by Canadian imni-
grants coming to Chicago, in which he
says:
You call my attention to the following ad :
vertisement clipped from Canadian paper:
Five hundred carpenters wanted. Good,
competent men will be given thirty cents to
forty cents per hour. Apply at Builders
Exchange, No. 159 La Sale street, Chicago"
assume from your letter that this adver-
tiscmcnt was inserted by the Builders Ex-
change--an association or corporation do
ing business In Chicago. II con-
tains a proposition to pay good,
competent carpenter from thirty to
forty cents per hour and give him
steady employment on the condition of ac
cepting tho OFFER coming to the United
States and engaging in labor for the Build
ers' Exchange. II an alien does accept that
proposition, does come to the U nited States
to engage In labor for the builders Ex-
change he complies with his part OFF all that
Is involved In the proposition. The minds
Of the offer and the accepter meet thus
and form one Of the prohibited contracts of
the statute. In my judgment IL the above
conditions and facts could be proven in q
court, II would be held that the Builders
Exchange was liable to the penalties de-
nounced by the law. / have no doubt Of
the right OF tho officers appointed by
the Secretary to make the proper invest-
cations necessary to determine whether tho
incoming alien Is here In violation OF the
law without reference to the place whore
the investigation, from the nature of tho
case, be required TO be made. 1t is impor-
tant that Immigrant inspectors, particularly
those on the borders of Canada, be diligent
in using all proper measures TO discover
violations of the law, and report them, W it'll
the evidence that may be obtained, to tn .
collector OF customs of the proper district.

been decorated for tho occasion with an
elaborate display of flags and bunting.
From the center of the high cciling

same colors prevailed in the plush
drapery of the balconies. Along the
border Of each OF the balconies were the
coats of arms of the Confederate States,
while between them hung banners OF
plush. In the center of the stage was
a fountain half hidden from view in
bower of blossoming plants. Against
the stage door stood bust OF Lee. On

on either side of the stage were dressed
in the Confederate colors and the colora
of MARYLAND and Virginia.

ABOUT STRAWBERRIES.
Various Ways In which Housekeepers Car
Utilize the Luscious Fruit.

Various Ways In which Housekeepers Can
Utilize the Luscious Fruit.
1t Is recorded of Fontanelle that he
attributed his longevity to the free use
of strawberries, and IL Is now we'll
known fact that the fruit possesses
great medicinal qualities, being a
valuable remedy in viscedity and putrid
disorders. One writer on the subject
furnishes instances of obstinate dis
orders cured by the use of the straw
berry; another says that by eating OF
them freely he kept himself free from
rheumatic affections. They are also
said to be excellent for the teeth. Pos.
sessing SO many recommendations 1t
will not be difficult TO induce every one
to eat strawberries; but that the house
keeper may prepare them with little
variety, we give the following sugges-
tions:
Frozen Strawberries Stem quart OF
ripe strawberries, put in bowl with d
pound of sugar, and the juice of two
lemons; let stand one hour, then mash
the berries, add quart of water, and
stir until the sugar is dissolved, put In
freezer and freeze. Set aside one hour
before serving.
Strawberries and Whipped Cream
Place layer of straw berries in fiat
dish, cover thickly with pulverized SUI
gar, and another layer OF berries and
sugar; cover the top with one pint OF
thick cream, the whites of two eggs and
a teacup of sugar, whipped together.
Strawberries-Place layer of straw
berries in a fruit bowl, cover with sugar,
put another layer of strawberries and
sugar, until the bowl is full; set on ice
until ready to serve.
Strawberry Pyramid-Crush pint OF
strawberries with pound of sugar, mix
well; whip the whites OF four eggs until
very stiff, beat with the berries until
they stand in pyramid.
Strawberry Flummery-Put pint OF
strawberries and pint of sugar in a
small saucepan, add small teacup OF
boiling water, and let simmer slowly
ten minutes, without stirring; moisten
three tablespoonsfnl of corn starch in a
little cold water, and add to the straw
berries, stir until IL thickens, turn out
to cool. Serve cold, with sugar and
cream.
Frosted Strawberries-Select large,
ripe berries, leave on the stems, dip one
at time in cold water, and lay on a
sieve to dry; beat the whites of two or
three eggs, dip the berries one at time
into the egg, then in powdered sugar,
then in the egg and sugar again, put
ting them, so they will not touch, on
plates to dry.
Strawberry vShort-Cake-Intoo one quart
OF sifted -four rub thoroughly two tea
spoonfuls OF baking powder, half tea
spoonful Of salt and two tablespoonfuls
of butter. add sweet milk to make soft
dough; bake in buttered pie-pans.
When done split with sharp knife,
butter both halves, cover the lower half
with a generous layer OF ripe strawber-
ries, we'll sweetened, place the other
half OF the short cake on top OF this,
crust down; cover with berries, add
more sugar Serve with pitcher of
rich cream. Louisville Conrier-Journal

TERROR.

The Texas Spring Palace Destroyed by Fire
Seven Thousand Persons In the Build
ing at the Timc-Panic-stricken, tho
Crowd TrampIes Upon nrtself-Hundreds
Leap from the Windows.
FoRT WORTH, Ten, May 30.-Fort
Sorth's pride and glory, the Spring
Palace, is tonight heap Of blackened
ruins, it having been swept ont of ex-
istence by fire, which broke out on the
second floor at 1890 o'clock, just as the
evening concert was over and prepara-
tions were being made to begin the an
nual Spring Palace ball.
At the time the first note of alarm
was sounded there were seven thousand
people in the building, and in an in
slant what had been scene OF peace,
pleasure and happiness was transferred
into a perfect pandemonium. Up stairs
and down stairs could be heard the
snRIEKs OF WOMEN
and children, and the rush of thousands
of people to the many entrances of the
building sounded like the roar of a
mighty wind.
Strong men grabbed their wives and
children, young men dressed for the
brilliant ball which was to follow
clasped their sweethearts in their arms
and joined the mighty rush for safety.
In less than minute after the first
flames were discovered the entire upper
part OF the structure was one sea OF
roaring fire, and it spread with rapidity
to the lower floor.
Notwithstanding all this, strange TO
say, not one person was burned to death.
Several were badly scorched, and one
dangerously and several badly injured
by falling and being trampled on by the
RUSHING THOUSANDS.
The origin Of the fire is said TO be a
bay striking a match TO light cigar
ette, contrary to the rules Of the exhibi-
titn. From the match the straw decor
ations caught, with the result above.
The escape OF the thousands of people,
men, women and children from horrible
death Is almost a miracle, and that hun
dreds did not is due TO the admirable
management Of the building.
The most intense excitement still pre-
walls, Men are running about the streets
crying like children hunting their loved
ones. Mothers are bemoaning the loss
OF their babes, and general pandemonium
prevails. All sorts OF stories are abroad.
Some claim as many as 600 people are
burned or trampled to death, and the in
dications are that several children have
lest their lives In the jam.
