French cooks invariably blsnch stringbeans-that
is, after cooking them tender they throw them Into
cold water and let them remain till ce-coh. They
are then reheated in sauces Of various kinds or used
In a salad. When they are used In a salad this Is
undoubtedly an excellent way, but it seems TO us
that there must he considerable loss Of favor when
beons thus cooled and then reheated in a sauce.
No vegetable requires more exact care than this. The
strings of each bean must be entirely stripped from
or the dish Is spoiled nothing Is more disagreeable
than to encounter these strings In dish

unless beans perfectly fresh throw them into

are ready to cook them. FIJI porcelain or granite

Cut the beans In inch engths unless they are to be
served in salads. when they left whole. Let them
boil gently FOR about hour and half 10 an hour and
threequarters. They must be tender enough TO be
easily pierced with straw when done. Beans that
have been brought from the South not perfectly
fresh or are old will require fully hour and three
quarters cooking. When the beans cooked there

two minutes and pour it over the beans. When they
boil up put them in vegetable dish; cover them ana

The greatest mistake made cooking string beans Is
to boil them too short time. They should be per-
fecty tender WHEN done firm yet Of melting softness
when eaten. French cooks heat half cup Of fch milk
or cream in double boiler and stir in two eggyolks,
adding about four five chives and two spngs OF
parsley and continue stirring for five minutes ms

tually including all bank clearings,
were S477, 466. 152. Boston, Chicago,

York is also the political headquarters
of the nation, we can, in some measure,
understand how it is that we are ruled
by that state, and why money and po-
liticai influence go hand in hand.

KICKING THE DELEGATES.

Very much to the surprise of the pub
lie, and probably more to the surprise
| of the Alliance politicians. tie Kansas
Alliances have so far failed to back up
the action of their representatives al
the Cincinnati meeting. After the
cork was withdrawn at Cincinnati with
so startling pop" and the efferves-
cence had subsidized, the Kansas partic.-
pants were led by reflection to the
thought that probably they had con-
tracted for a bigger job than they could
carry out, and to obtain support from
the people they submitted their action
to the subordinate Alliances for ratif-
cation.
In the meantime, however, Frank
McGrath, secretary of the state Alli-
ance, had got to work. McGrath is
the man who wrote an impertinent let
ter to some of the Southern Alliance
leaders, threatening that if the South
ern Alliances wouldn't drop their De-
mocracy and take up for the third-party
movement, the Northern Alliances
would abandon that movement and go
back to the Republican party. The
Southern Alliances. however, unmoved
by the menace, took very little stock in
the Cincinnati convention or the Peo-
pies party. McGrath is carrying out
his threat. His work among the Kan
sas Alliances is demoralizing the new
party planners. So far, twenty-five of
the sub-Alliances to which was SUBJ
mitted the question OF ratifying the &C.
ton of the delegates at Cincinnati have
not only refused to ratify, but have
fatty repudiated the Peoples party.
The belief is general that McGrath will
carry the Alliance with him, and hold
it in the Republican party, or at least
divide it
An experienced Indian-fghter gave
it as his opinion that the only success
full way to argue with an Indian was to
shoot him first, and then present your
syllogism. That appears to have been
the plan of the Peoples party leaders
at Cincinnati But in this case the
Kansas Alliance, which takes the part
of the Indian, was not shot hard enough,
and it has come to life, and is about to
get the best of the argument.

The Texan Abroad.
Memphis Commercial.


J'A. Burrows represents a ST. Louis
carriage honse, but he is, withal, a Texan
and a believer in the destiny Of the Lone
Star state. AT the Peabody hotel yester-
day he leaned ON the clerks desk and des-
canted ON the glories of that great common
wealth. q went to Texas in 1879, said he,
land bought land at 81 and sI.50 per acre
that can get from $35 to $40 per acre for
now. have 340O acres in a single body,
and while others prophesy that Texas will
be the greatest state in the Union, l con-
tend that it is to-day the greatest. The
section in which live is the great cotton
producing belt of the state, and all the
towns for miles around are noted for the
number of bales of cotton they ship, but as
for myself, raise little but cattle, corn and
wheat. / am not sure but it pays better in
the long run" Mr.. Burrows is a typical
Texan of the present day, the robust, well;
dressed, perfect gentleman, keenly alive to
business, and with all his wits about him
and nothing whatever of the cowboy.

WHEN Sam Small was called to the
presidency Of a large UNCONVENTIONAL
school in Utah, mistake was made by
the men who made the call and by the
man who accepted it. Sam Small is a
first-rate vest-pocket edition of Sam
Jones in the work of stirring up the
slums, and he used to be more than
an average newspaper reporter. But
Sam Small as president of the big
school in Utah, position that required
extraordinary administrative ability,
large experience and lots of brains, was
as much out of place as wood-sawyer
in the pilot-house of steamboat.

HOLDER.
A marked copy of the Philadelphia
Ledger comes to this Office, the mark
calling attention to an editorial in de-
tense of Postmaster-General Wanna
maker against public charges of dis
honorable connection with the keystone
bank failure. Mr.. Wanamaker went
before the finance committee of the
Philadelphia city council and related
his transactions with the bank, which
were, he claimed, OF purely business
nature. The Ledger says of this evil
dence, at is very clear and complete.
1t covers every story, every accusation,
every SANDER and almost every piece
of thoughtless gossip in which his name
has been brought into question since
the beginning of the sensation publ
cations in connection with the failure
OF the Keystone bank down to this time.
1t is not only complete as to all those
points, but it is entirely satisfactory
and conclusive
The country at large is disposed to
think well of Mr.. Wanamaker. He is,
or was up to the time of his entering
into Harrison's cabinet, Sunday
school teacher. This is saying nothing

The masonry of the Hendricks building
is now finished, and the roof just approach
ing completion. Mr.. Sanguinett, the archi-
tect, says the entire building will be ready
for occupancy early in the fall, by which
time it will be finished in every detail.
This building, in point of construction and
equipment, is undoubtedly one of the very
finest i'll the South, and for comfort and
solidity cannot be surpassed.
Secretary Clarke of the Chamber of Com
merce says that at the meeting OF the board
on Thursday, very important matter will
be taken up. 1t is a proposition from a
manufacturer, employing 800 hands and
making goods worth upwards of $500, 600
annually, to come to Fort Worth. This
factory is at present operated in one of the
far Eastern states. 1t has been there for
thirty-nine years, and the best of reasons
are given for removal.

A Man at Denison Jumps from a Moving
Train-killed Instantly.
Special to the Gazette.
DENIsoN, Tex, June ia man named
W. E. Grimes was pitched head-frst off the
south-bound train near the Union depot at
4 o'clock this morning, and his head was
mashed beyond recognition by coming in
contact with a hydrant between the tanks.
The man was riding on the platform
of a blind baggage car. When nearing
the depot he attempted to jump off,
but the train was going at i rapid speed.
His remains were taken charge of this
evening by his family, who live two miles
southwest of the city, where they reside in
a tent and are in very poor circumstances.
They state he had been to Durant to collect
some money. and a check from Joel Nail of
Durant on a Denison bank, was found in his
pocket. He had beat his way into Denison
and jumped from the train to prevent being
found there and placed under arrest.

against him and Something in bis favor

against him and something In his favor.
In business he has always been known
as an honest man, and his integrity
has never been questioned. A man
with such reputation is entitled to a
respectful hearing, and his evidence,
even in his own behalf, carries with it
weight that commands respect. Most
men will say that until evidence to the
contrary appears, Mr.. Wanamaker
must be held guiltless of any criminal
connection with the frauds connected
with the suspended bank.
The public is ready, however, to be-
ieve i'll of politicians. There are
thousands to-day who lend ready ear
to these tales of sdishonor, who three
years ago would not have listened to
them. Then, John Wanamaker was a
plain citizen and an enterprising busi-
ness man. Now he is in political life,
a part of great machine. That ma
chine is not clean. How can its parts
be clean? Mr.. Wanamaker's generous
contribution to the Republican corrup-
ton fund is not forgotten. He knew
for what purpose the money was asked
and used. Though he might be above
the purchasing of votes, he was not
above furnishing the means TO pur-
chase them, and he was not above ac-
cepting an Office that came to him as
result of that purchase. He does not
stand before the country with clean
hands. If the country is eager to be-
lieve ugly rumors now that it would
have turned aside from a few years
ago, Mr.. Wanamaler can blame no
one but himself for the change of
