The Late Dinner.

twenty or thirty years ago the late din
ner was not nearly so popular as it is now.
The majority of people dined in the mid
die of the day, and not few of them con-
sidered a six-o' clock dinner as an effort
after fashion that was unworthy the imita-
tion of sensible men and women Even in
in large cities servants rebelled against an
alteration of the time-honored custom of
serving the principal meal Of the day at or
near noon, while in small towns the late
dinner was so unusual that it was almost
impossible to persuade domestics to consent
to it.
A marked change has taken place in the
fashion. The evening dinner has for years
been steadily gaining in popularity, and
promises to become even more common
than 1t is now. Thoughtful men and
women recognize the wisdom of eating
lightly at midday. when they are in the
full tide of business, and reserving the
heartiest repast for an hour when it can be
discussed leisurely and digested peacefully.
Mistresses have learned that there is a
gain in keeping the morning free for house.
work, instead of devoting most of it to the
preparation of the dinner. The light
lunch eaten in most homes demands much
less time in cooking and eating than does
dinner, and leaves those who have par
taken of it more fit for work than they
would be were their stomachs burdened
with the task of digestlng soup, meat, veg
etables and dessert.
The late dinner is more dignifed meal
than can possibly be made of similar re-
past eaten at noon. The festal appearance
impaired by the gleam of candles, lamps,
or gas upon silver, china and glass, can
not be acquired by daylight. The pleas
ant reunion around the board of the MEM
bers of the family, whose positions and in
terests have been divergent since morning,
the happy consciousness that the work of
the day is done, the knowledge that there
is no toll waiting at the door of the dining
room, all bear their share in rendering the
meal cheerful and care-free. More cere-
mony can and should be preserved at the
evening dinner than is feasible at noon.
The orderly sequence Of courses and the
careful serving have part in adding to
the dignity of the meal.
These suggestions should not frighten
the house-keeper who contemplates intro
ducing the late dinner into their house
hold. Very little extra work is involved
in bestowing the touch of state referred to,
and, after all, it consists chiefly in slight
additional care in waiting and serving,
and to these the mistress can readily ac-
custom the maid.-Ch,istine Terhune Her.

Annual Report of the Earnings of the
Illinois Central.

CHICAGO, September 20th.-The annual
report of the Illinois Central Company
made public to-day, shows for the year
ending June 80, $780, the gross earnings of
the Illinois Central to be S14, ,448, ,006, the
Dubuque and Sioux City line 81, 800, ,924
and the Cedar Falls and Minnesota line
$94, ,092 Total, SIG, 452, ,022. This is an in
crease, as compared with the preceding
year, of 81 1856 405.
The net earnings of the Illinois Central
proper were 81, So, ,90l, an increase Of $751;
761.
The report says that the fact that the
large increase of gross revenue has not
been followed by equalled net earnings is
due to causes, first, the increase of stand
ards, with entailed expenditures for the
maintenance of ways and structures of
2,110,777, an increase of $65l, $40 over the
amount spent the previous year. A large
portion of this is due to the laying on track
of 2,400 tons of steel rails. The second
cause was the submerging of tracks for a
long distance in Louisiana during the un-
precedented foods last spring, necessitating
large outlay for repairs, and the payment
of large sums to other railways whose
tracks were temporarily used. The third
reason given is the strike, which tied up
the road in June.

Brakeman Michael Gillen tells this story
After the first shock l looked out of the
forward window and could see the forward
cars being knocked into the river and heard
the sound of cracking timber as they
ground together like kindling wood. l
saw the entire side of the smoking-car
ahead of mine torn out, and then turned
my back, thinking my last moment had
come. Many of the passengers in our car
were screaming and several of them had
climbed half way out of the window. I
shouted to keep quiet and the next instant
our car was struck and upset down the
bank but not overturned.
"Seeirg no immediate danger for those
in our car, l jumped out into the river,
which was about five feet deep there, and
worked my way to the forward part of the
wreck. In one of the wrecked cars
heard man shouting for help. I'm not
caught and I'm not hurt, but l can't get
out he said. He was found in the car
like a rat in box, and the wood was
blazing all around about him. l secured
bucket and began throwing water on the
fire, and think the man was saved. l
had to work alone for some time, although
there was crowd of people standing on
the bank above the wreck, to whom l
shouted to come and help me. They re-
fused, however, and IL was some time
before other help arrived"
The body of the unknown man, who
was among the last taken out of the wreck,
was identified as George Lambert Of
Tamaqua. This places the number of
fatalities at twenty-one. All the wrecked
cars were taken out of the river to- might,
and it is now believed that no more bodies
are in the water and that this ends the
death list.
The Coroner subpenaed jury to-day
and will hold an inquest early next week.

PUTTING CHILDREN TO BED.
How Mothers Thoughtlessly Lose the
Love of Children.
No. 30 po7o

From Harper's Bazaar.
The mother who puts the timid child to
bed, and takes away the light, and goes
downstairs, and leaves him TO his conjur-
ing, careless and Indifferent and disbeliev-
ing, or bent on overcoming the mischief
forcibly, is destroying something that one
would think of small worth to her-not
only his nervous fiber, but his love of her
self; and the day will come when fate will
have its revenge on her in his own indif-
ference to her, and she will recognize it,
even if he behave in all outward respects
like dutiful son. 1t is her part to exam
inc the matter, to reason with the child, to
comfort him, to see how far it is possible
with him to subdue the fear. If she can
not stay with him herself, she can at least
leave the door open so that he may hear
the cheerful downstairs voices, the hum of
life, not to be shut into his tomb, as the
unformulated thought of his desperate
little mind makes it; she can leave lamp
ON the hearth, and so let there be some
light to dispel his fancies and to keep back
the dark and its unshaped visions. She
may regard it as trihing, but to him it is
tremendous; and if she is wise either in
mother love or human kindness she will
not let the imaginative and sensitive child
suffer more than it must, remembering that
that temperament, if it has more to enjoy
through life than Others, has also much,
much more to suffer.
When few nights have failed to bring
calm to the little being out of the expert
ence, and the last going to bed alone is as
bad as the first, and all threats have only
made the matter worse and all reasoning has
produced no good result when he has tried
to conquer, and the effort has left him trem-
bling as violently as if he had an ague-then
it is something not to beovercome by harsh
or rough or peremptory measures, and the
mother should see to it that the child has
some active physical exercise just before 60
ing to bed that will make his little body
glad of rest, and she would best lie down be-
side him, or find some work that she can
do upstairs till he falls asleep, in order
to afford him the comfort of companion
ship and the sense Of her embracing love,
and soothe his irritable nerves to repose
instead Of rousing them to action.

A Dispute Over a Wrestling Match Re-
suits Fatally.
MARYsvILLE, September 20th.-Michael
Ryan was brought into this city late last
evening by Constable Bevan, of Hanson
vile, aud placed in the County Jail. He
was charged with the murder of Mexican
named Simpo Garcia. From the officer it
was learned that the two men had met at a
farm near the town of Hansonville, and
that the trouble had arisen over wrestling
match. A challenge, which was accepted,
had been issued by one of the parties to
fight il out. After they had fought some
twenty minutes Ryan broke away, and
running to his house, soon returned with
a double barrel shotgun, which he pro-
ceeded TO fire at Garcia. One of the loads
took effect in Garcia's left breast and caused
instantaneous death. Ryan was arrested,
and after the Coroners inquest was held
was brought to this city. Ryan and Gar
cia were raised as brothers by a Mexican
woman who lived in the vicinity of Han
sonville, and il is understood that on sew
eral previous occasions they had had
trouble. It is thought that the fight of
Thursday grew out of an old feud.
