SOUFFLES IN VARIETY.

Directions For Preparing n Palatable
Dish.
"Souffles" are dishes for which each
cook seems to have an individual rule.
Some make them wholly of eggs with
f1avoring and sweetening; others add
milk and more or less thickeninr, and
this gives rather more tender souflle
than one made entirely Of eggs. A
souffie of eggs requires the greatest
care in the oven, and must rise very
slowly like meringue in order to be a
seccess; while the same dish with lit
tie milk added, and some thickening,
does not require so much care in baking
and does not fall as easily after baking.
TO make simple souflle with milk or
cream, beat the yolks of three eggs with
q teaspoonful of salt and an even table
spoonful of flour, corn starch, ground
rice, or whichever YOU
prefer. Add to the yolks tho whites,
which must be beaten very dry and
stiff. BE careful to fold them in with
motions from side to side instead of O.
circular stirring motion. Beat in half
cup of cream. Have buttercd souffle
dish of tin or silver ready. It should
be heated on top of the stove until it is
as hot as it can be without browning
the butter, Turn the souffle into it the
instant it is made Set it in the oven to
bake. 1t will take at least ten minutes.
Just before removing it from the oven
shake little sugar over 1t and serve
it the moment it is done, in the dish in
which it is baked. To make a peach
souffic, pare six ripe peaches Of medium
size. Crack two of the pits for the
kernels, blanch these kernels and cut
them into strips. Put tablespoonful
Of sugar to each peach. Stir this mix
ture over the fire until the fruit Is re-
duced to jam. Mix it with the
quantity of souffle given, and bake 1t
rather slowly. In case the eggs are
small it is we'll to add the whites of one
or two more.-N. Y. Tribune.

MOVING FOB THE FEDERAL COURT


The Commercial Association is filing
its duty as public lever up to the
notch. 1t deserves the cordial CO.
operation and support of every business
man in Roanoke. 1t has taken up the
scheme to establish session of the
Federal court in Roanoke. and on next
Monday night a mass-meeting of citi-
zens will be held in its rooms and
under its auspices to hear the report of
the committee on plan and push for
ward the good work.
If diligence is used the plan can be
perfected and a memorial sent to Con-
gress by the time that body settles
down to business after the HOLIDAYS.
The present session of Congress should
see the business done.
Twenty counties in Southwest Vir-
ginia and the Valley would bring their
legal business to Roanoke. THE TIMES
would suggest that no stronger aid could
be given the movement than would re-
suit from the organization of bar asso-
citation. Who will set this ball in mo.
ton?

Arrested For Stealing.

Jack Rives, negro, was arrested last
night by Officer Flick for stealing an
overcoat from w. D. Bryant &c Co. $
store at Shenandoah. The firm wrote
to the police few days ago telling of
the theft, and spoke of two negroes
entering the store. An accurate des-
cription of the coat accompanied the
letter, and the thief was quickly trap
ped at Murray Kings, on Railroad ave-
nue.. The other negro has not been
captured, but the police will send Rives
to Shenandoah for trial.

a LApY.s GREEN BONNET.
IL Was stolen to Protect Marshal B,ucbcr,s
Eyes From tho SIM

Eyes From tho Sun.
During the campaign in France of the
allied forces of Europe to break the
first Napoleon's power, Field Marshal
Blucher was attacked by severe dis
case OF his eyes, which hindered him
IRON taking his accustomed part in his
army's movements. While in Chalons
he was on the point of leaving the
army to go to Brussels to seek doctors
aovlce. The most urgent circumstances
OF zen. Gueiseman and DIR. Voizlle, of
the generals staff, served to keep him
from fulfilling his intention. The reso-
luton OF the confederate monarchs to
break Off negotiations with Napoleon
and advance on Paris also influenced
him to stay with his army.
1t happened that while in the nciph-
borhood of Paris, where from his
coach, he commanded the movements
of his army, gust Of wind tore the
shade from his forehead When he saw
this accident his faithful servant,
Christian Henneman, begged n short
leave OF absence and rode away on n
full gallop. He was generally called
"Pipemeister" because he kept Bluch-
er's clay pipes in order. Butcher looked
after him enviously as he rode off, and
also ordered a horse to ride to Mont
martre to oversee in person the eighty
cannons being put in position, with
which he planned to lombard Paris tho
next morning if the French marshals
Mcdonald and Marmont fingered any
longer in surrendering the capital.
While he was still there voice called
from distance to him:
"Sir Field Marshal! Where are you?"
Here l am" Numbered Blucher's
mighty voice.
And here am IP' called out Christian
Henneman, galloping along on the
foam horse
"Pipemeister, it's you?" said Butcher,
in an astonished tone. 'What do YOU
want? Where did you stay SO long?"
II just went for shade for your
eyes, and here it is" said Christian,
very earnestly, rs he handed over q
lady's neat bonnet of green silk with
broad brim.
"a lady's bonnet!" cried Butcher.
''Well, what shall do with it?"
81 saw this afternoon, not far off,
at country house which we were pass
ing, lady with a green bonnet, and
when you said that you must have q
shade for your eyes I at once thought
of the green bonnet and rode to the
house, cursed and knocked at the door
until they opened it. No one lived there
but women, and they cried and lament
ed when they saw me. We'll, I told
them I would not hurt them, that
only wanted the green bonnet, and
while the women were screaming q
door opened and the lady to whom the
house belongs came in. She still had
her bonnet on. Well. went up to her,
made bow, scraped my feet and said:
Madam, please be good enough to give
me your green bonnet, for my field
has sore eyes,"
Ibid they understand your good
German?" asked Butcher,
stroking his mustache.
No, she didn't understand me, but,
your excellency, made myself under
stood to her."
"How did you do it?"
Every simply, excellency. wentup
to her, pulled the bow under her chin
so that it came united, took the bonnet
by the rim, gave little jerk and
lifted the bonnet off. I mounted the
horse with my bonnet and here am.
This is the shade for your eyes. From
the German.

THE DEVELOPMENT COMPANY

Directors.
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
ers of the Roanoke Development Com
pany was held at the Office of the com
pany yesterday afternoon. A large
majority of the stock was represented
by person or proxy. and the meeting
was of very harmonious nature. The
report OF President A. c. Denniston,
which will appear in THE TINES in a

an excellent condition.
1t is stated that by the first Of the
year every one of the industries on the

operation except the Bridgewater Car
rage Works.

PERTINENT QUERIES.

The work at macadamizing the streets
is progressing-crab-fashion. TIE
TIMES feels confident thai the street
committee will prove equal to the oc.
casion.
Section IL of the general specifications
will be power of good. 1t reads: "The
city expressly reserves to itself and its
City Council the right to finally accept
or condemn any work or material"
THE TIMES cannot agree with Assis-
tant Engineer Houston in his report to
the street committee that "Most of the
cutters are in better shape, the papers
having taken hold of the idea" The
cutters and the macadam on the first
square Of Franklin street arc badly
done, and relaying alone will remedy
the defective portions.
From the minutes of the Council
meeting of December /, it seems that
Contractor Patterson asked Council to
permit him to sublet his contract, which
by the way is we'll known to have been
sublet. Now, supposing that it became
necessary to sue on Mr.. Patterson's
bond for breach of contract, would not
his sureties set up the plea of contribu-
tory negligence on the part of the city?
And, by the way, why was Mr.. Pat
terson's bond accepted when the sureties
are not residents Of Virginia? No court
would accept such bond.

The dismissal Of the case against
DR.. Briggs, who was being tried be-
fore the New York presbytery for
heresy, caused general surprise to
those who had been watching it. It
is stated in the dispatches that the
case may be appealed to the synod,
but it would seem much better to let
it drop where the presbytery has left
it, for, as the st. Paul Dispatch well
says, ''aside from the question of ex-
pediency, which would suggest drop
ping the case, and looking at the
charge on its merits, the arraignment
of Prof. Briggs can be fruitful of no
good results To shut the door to
further Investigation, means to shut
it to further progress, and that is the
kind Of notice the trial of DR.. Briggs
serves upon those who would look far
ther than those preceding them. If
the views which DR.. Briggs gave to
the public were erroneous, they will
sink from their own weight and cut
no figure in the future of Christiani-
ty. ON the other hand, if they are
correct and those which the doctor
opposed are erroneous, the latter
should go, as have all such views in
the centuries past, and the christian
religion will be the stronger thereby.
Unless men like DR.. Briggs are easily
quoted, their trial and expulsion will
not deter them from doing what they
think is right no more than did the
Pope's bull stop the reformers of three
or four centuries ago.

Our strained relations with Chill
has called up the Nicaragua canal
scheme and it is urged that it should
be completed in the interest of the
defense Of our coast lines. The trip
around the Horn is long one, and it
is claimed the completion Of a canal
would be in the interest of peace.
To complete the Nicaragua route will
cost, it is estimated, about 800, 0OO,-
600, and congress, when it assemblies,
will be asked to guarantee the bonds
of the company to that amount. In
return for this the company agrees to
put up ten per cent. of it's stock as
collateral, and allow the government
wide powers in regulation. That
there ought to be a canal across the
Isthmus no one will question, and
there are no hopes of its being built
unless some government takes hold of
the matter and pushes it forward. If
it must be done by government back
ing then that government should be
that of the United States.

DAKOTA AND THE WORLDS FAIR.

A Yankton, s. D., telegram SAYS
The worlds fair commfssafs ap-.
pointed by Gov. Mellette, TO raise
$50, 900 for an exhibit, held their first
meeting in YanktOn, last night. This
county guaranteed its quota of the
desired amount, and it is very likely
that every county in the state will re-
SpOnd to the occasion. The commits
SiOnerS seem assured of their final
success, and expect to have the whole
amount subscribed by Jan. L.
Good for South Dakota. But if
drouth- stricken, crop-failure, grass
hopper-eaten Dakota, that has not
raised anything like crop for the
last six or seven years, can raise $780,
600 by Jan. 1st, ought it not to be an
easy matter for Minnesota, that has
not had crop failure in the past ten
or twelve years, to raise 100000?
While the scheme of raising an ex-
ira $1,000 so that the state may be
properly represented at the fair, is be-
ing criticised by some who do not full
ly understand the matter, or take ne
pride in having an exhibit that will
reflect honor upon our great state, it
is pleasing to note that adjoining
states, where the regular appropriation
is deemed insufficient, are looking up
on the Minnesota plan very faVora-
bly,, and may adopt it.
And right here it may be noted
that the outlook for raising the extra
100000 in this state is growing
brighter every day. A number of
counties have already subscribed their
quota; others have the matter well
under way, and in a large number the
case is being agitated. Favorable
letters are being daily received show
ing spirit abroad which demands
that the great resources Of our state
shall be properly presented to the
world at the Columbian exposition.

A REVIEW OF THE FIELD.

As the smoke from Tuesdays bat
tie field clears away and one can sur
vey the results, it does not look so
very bad for the Republicans after all.
The Democratic papers, true to their
former practices, Immediately declar-
ed that the result was victory for
free trade, or as they please to call it,
tariff reform, but such a statement is
made simply upon the fact that they
elected the governor of Massachusetts,
New York and Iowa. This is taking
very superficial view of the case. In
Massachusetts, they reelected Govern
or Russell. Butthis was due only to his
personal popularity. The Democrats of
that state pronouncedin favor ofhon-
est money, without which declaration,
Mr.. Russell, Notwithstanding his popu-
larity, would have undoubtedly been
showed under. The Republicans
made large legislative gains, and
nothing can be tortured from the re-
suit to show that the old Bay state is
drifting toward free trade.
In New York the Democrats have
gained nothing. They have elected
their gubernatoriaI candidate, but it
is only repetition of what they have
done since Mr.. Cleveland slipped into
the chair with his phenomenal MAORI
ty. Last year they had the legislature
on joint ballot, but the latest Dispatch
es are to the effect that the Republi-
cans will control it this year.
In Iowa they reelected Governor
BOieS because large number Of Re-
publicans there fail to agree with the
position their party takes on the pro-
hibition question, but they fail to
secure the legislature, and can not
bring forward any evidence to show
that the farmers Of that state think
less of protection than. they did three
years ago.
On a direct issue Of protection VS..
free trade they lost Ohio, swept clean
from pillar to post.
Again, during the past year in par
ticular, the Democrats have claimed
there has been great free trade
growth in the west and northwest.
The congressional election in South
Dakota failed to reveal it. If the
farmers are so sick and tired Of the
ubiquitous system they surely
ought to have entered a protest where
it would have counted-in vote fol
congressman.
1t is plain to see there has been a
reaction from last year. The McKin.
ley price liar is dismal failure. The
terrible results predicted from the
law have not happened; the people
are more prosperous than for years
and the echoes from the late battle.
field indicate that they are in no hur.
ry to fly to evils they know not of.

AS TO RECIPROCITY.

There are number of Democratic
journals that make an especial point
in running down reciprocity. They
are continually claiming that recipro-
cal negotiations with the nations to
the south of US will not help our
trade; that if reciprocity is going to
prove of any special advantage it
should go across the ocean to coun-
tries like England, for instance. 1t
seems likely that Democratic editors
will stumble. just as badly over facts
about reciprocity as they do in regard
to free trade. This is illustrated by
the following London report;
ThebusineSs results Of the reciprocity
measures Of Mr.. Blaine are already
descernible in the trade of the United
States. Even English companies
operating in Brazil are now purchas-
ing their supplies largely in the Unit
ed States to secure the benefit Of the
reduction Of Is per cent in duties.
OF course as the free trader finishes
reading the above he will remark that
the tariff is tax after all Certainly
it is where levied by a government
upon an article not produced within
its Jurisdiction. But where an indus
try has been built up and compete
tion has cut the price down to about
where the foreign article sells, the tax
is not very serious question.
There can be no question but that
when proper communications are Sc
cured, our trade with the southern
nations will show great increase.
Nor does the free trade assertion that
the commerce to the south Of US is
insignificant, as to amount, hold good.
The total foreign trade Of those ma
tions and colonies reaches nearly 81
800, 000,0 900 annually. OF this we are
getting but a comparatively small
slice. Lying, SO to speak, at our very
door, we ought to control the biggest
half of it, and under the reciprocity
treaties undoubtedly will. Negotia-
tions are now being Carried on with
Mexico, and steps will soon be taken
to negotiate several others. When
these are completed the benefits of re-
ciprocity will be more fully realized.
