The Durham recorder. [volume] (Durham, N.C.) 1879-19??, 1891-02-11

Our Sam, as Durham delights
to call him, Your Uncle Jones,
as he calls himself, won laureIs
in a new arena last week. In
November he preached az Pale
slime, Texas; and as his man
ner Is, criticized the official con.
duct Of the Mayor, because,
he said, il needed criticizing.

that Senator Ingalls, has a very
clear perception Of the effect Of
the ele ,tions last November.
The glory has departed from the

has sense enough *. know it.

The postal telegraph bill re-
ceiyed its quietus in the House
last Friday. This was John
Wanamaker's pet scheme, but
the House did not take 10 it
kindly. The country Is not yet
prepared to take charge Of the
telegraph business and run II in
connection with the postofIIces.

1t is sub-rosa talk at Wash

of the fact that the people read

is nothing new in that plank.
To carry out in good faith the
declaration that the Parry favors
fair elections and honest regis
tration, would require it to dis
continue the practice Of coloniz-
ing negro voters IN Democratic
counties just before elections,
and to keep northern Doodle out
of the state, In opposing a
railroad commission, consis-
tency comes to the front again,
for the Republican bosses are at
heart opposed to whatever the
people want most.
Taken altogether, the North
States new platform is a curl
Gus mixture Of consistency and
Inconsistency. While unde-
ceiying the people in some re-
spects, it will hoodwink them as
badly as ever in other particu,
lars.
Reciprocity is a fact, ant
Secretary Blaine is a bigger MAJ
than Young Napol on McKin
Hey. When he asked the Wayi
land Means committee Of til,
House to insert a reciprocit,
provision in the tariff bill, til,
/ Ohio statesman turned the prop
osition down with scant cere
mony. Then the astute secre
tary tried his hand with til,
Senate Finance committee witt
better success. Mr.. Blaine
criticism of the Mckinley BIZ
was that it did not open u new
market for a bushel of whea
or a barrel of pork; but recipro
city has done what McKinleyisn
was powerless to do. Last weel
the president issueda proclama
ton declaring reciprocity to ex
list between the United State,
ard Brazil. This means tina
the markets Of the latter coun
try are open for the free impor
tation Of a large class of Amer
can products, and for the i'm
portation, at reduced rates, o.
another large class. In return
| for this concession, similar con
cessions in favor Of Brazilian
products are made by our gov
ernment. By this arrangement
it is expected that commerce be
tween the two countries will b,
promoted and that the results
will be advantageous to botf
countries. Thus far, it appear,
to be a complete triumph Of
Blaine over Mckinley.

phasis on the pleasure he had felt in cor
responding i'm France with a person of a
different stamp from the directors.
Then, with scarcely any transition, he
said TO me, you are a nephew Of the

Husband Saved. bat Umbrella Lost.

A man and his wife rushed across the
street in front of horse car, and the
ground being covered with frozen snow
the man slipped and fell on the track. The
horses were coming along at a sharp trot,
and it seemed TO every one who saw the
man fall that he would surely be run over.
His wife screamed, and the driver shut
down his brake with might and main and
pulled the horses away from track on
which the man lay. when the car came

The man was so frightened that he
crawled out of his dangerous position with
difficulty. Not unuaturally, he forgot to
bring his umbrella with him, and it was

A Valuable Institution in the Kitchen.

Tina stock pot is not only an economical,
but also a very convenient addition to the
supplv of kitchen utensils. 1t insures the
saving Of the bones of cooked joints, which
would otherwise be thrown away without
any attempt 10 extract the nutritious sub
stances they contain; and it also provides
the cook with constant supply of mate
rial for her gravies and sauces. 1t need
not be a large nor an expensive one for
this purpose. Where an ordinary kitchen
range is used the stock pot may be com
mon stoneware jar provided with a lid, of
the size and shape that can be put into the
oven. Into this jar bones of cooked joints,
poultry and game, trimmings of meat
cooked or uncooked) can be put, covered
with cold water and left to simmer for
some hours. The bones must be split and
crushed or broken into small pieces in or.
der that the gelatine which they contain
may be dissolved by coming in contact
with the water
If the bones are unbroken the gelatine Of
the outer surface only is dissolved, and
thus a great portion is wasted. When the
oven is heated for pastry or cakes, etc, the
Jar should be taken out, as the stock
should not boil, but remain slowly cooking
at a temperature a few degrees below boil

agreeable odor of the day -before-yesterday' s
SOUP will not bervade the house.
This stock, when strained from the
bones, etc, and allowed to become thor
oughly cold, in order that the fat may con
geal and thus be easily removed. is quite
good enough for ordinary gravy, sauces or
vegetable soups. The fat which is taken
from the surface of the stock should be
added TO the fat for clarifying

ALL AROUND THE HOUSE.


Ornamental Lattice Work, Useful for
Screens, Etc, Made with Regiet Sticks
A comparatively new material utilized
by amateur home decorators is the reglet
stick Reglet sticks, it may be we'll to ex-
plain, are thin strips of cherry or pine,
whose proper purpose is best understood
by those initiated into the mysteries OF
the printers art.
Good Housekeeping tells how to make
very pretty lattice work OF these reglet
sticks by weaving them together at regular
intervals, ina sort of basket work. The
thinnest reglet sticks are but little more
than a sixteenth of an inch thick, mere
ribbon Of wood, and they range from that
width to quite substantial strips of wood.
Their length is three feet. The thin sticks
are very pliable and easily handled, and
the veriest novice in carpentry can succeed
IN making a pretty lattice work. The open
spaces over transoms can be filled in with
this lattice work, and If there Is window
where it is desirable to obstruct the view
without shutting out the light, then this
plan is particularly desirable. In the case
of an alcove in the hall, the ceiling was too
high TO make il desirable that curtain
should be hung from pole near the top
of the wall, and so.a pretty lattice work OF
these reglet sticks was constructed, about
three feet in depth, and from it the curtain
depended.
A pleasing variety can be secured by
using alternately strips of cherry and pine,
or by staining the strips to represent diff
ferent woods The basket work can be
varied by two transverse strips run over
and under the upright ones, and the angle
can be made more or less acute, according
to the taste Of the designer.
The width and depth of the place where
the lattice is to be placed should first be
definitely determined, and then the strips
carefully cut the right length. They will
keep their place after they have been woven
together, and need only be secured at the
ends by being fastened to light frame
with small finishing nails.

Bold Robbery!
The Dry Goods Store of ID. & j. Will
son Entered Saturday Night
and 1000 in Silks Stolen.

Thieves entered the dry goods store of D.
d j. Wilson either late Saturday night or
Sunday morning and played havoc with this
firm g stock in silks.
The entrance was made through the rear
window by lowering the sash from the top;
the rear door was the exit through which
they safely carried their plunder, locking the
door upon retiring.
The goods stolen were of the finest fabric
and very costly. The quantity taken al
though in value aggregating $1,000 was no
more than one man might we'll carry, hence
that the crime was committed by single in
dividual is not without its believers.
The firm at once offered $50 reward for the
apprehension of the thief and $50 addition
al for the return of the goods, and the sheriff
printed pOstals to this effect and sent them
to all surrounding towns within a radius of
% miles.
1t is supposed that the burglars are tran
sients who are travelling in southeasterly
direction. This theory is based on the fact
that merchants in Bryan short time since
suffered loss of similar nature and with like
circumstances; also Ridgeville and Lima.
The thieves are no novices at the business
and from the evidence were we'll acquainted
with the store and the silk department, as
nothing else was molested. Even the money
drawer containing a small amount of cash
was given the 60 by. Their intention was to
secure the silk, and they succeeded.
There is no clue whatever, except that
several of the clerks remember of two men
dressed as farmers week prior to the rob-
berry, who purchased small quantity of
silk and other goods, exercising very laugh
able taste and manifesting ignorance with
respect to fabrics in general. They were uu-
known in these parts, and it is supposed
that the small purchases In question were
made in order to locate the silks and gain a
of the store.
