The masquerade at the Alturas
Hotel last evening was attended by
fully 400 persons. The dining
room, Office and hall of the hotel we're
so crowded that looomotion was very
difficult. The maskers-who mus,
have numbered over SO-were penned
in the center Of the room until they
could hardly move.
AS for fun, there was lots and lots
of it-"barrels of it!' as several Of
the younger maskers expressed it, and
the spectators enjoyed the scene fully
as much as the dancers.
The characters assumed were we'll
sustained and the disguises mostly
preserved until the order was given
to unmask. Several maskers were
then out Of the hall, but all who were
in were compelled to stay. Only one
got away-the "What Is I,?"-whose
identity is still shrouded. She gave
her name to the TINES reporter as
Miss Culp, from the East Fork Of
Wood River.
The character which attracted the
most attention was probably tina, of

with his other crops on hand, to give the
time and attention to the culture of beets
which they demand, and the more 30 be-
cause 1t is new business with the details
of which he is not familiar. The laborers
from the beet countries have been familiar
with the business from childhood up, and
require only to learn the peculiarties of a
new soil and climate and this they will
do under the instruction of men who have
large monied interests in the business,
and who have given it their best time and
attention. Until a farmer living near a
beet factory is able to give thd beet the at
tention it requires, and it requires knowl-
edge and skill, it would seem that the
profitable sugar beet production can best be
realized through large corporation which
not only manufactures the product but al
so produces the raw material. There is
no reason, however, why the art and
science of growing beets of requisite size
and sugar content cannot be mastered by
the Western farmer, and when he does so,
there will be no need of employing foreign
labor.

Years passed; Mrs. Holden had resign
ed the business into her son s hands; Miss
Holden had married poor country vicar
with seven children; in every sense of the
word Samuel was free to please himself.
Two or three years more rolled on and
Holden took it into his head to see little
of what the world beyond the Straits or
Dover was like.
One night, with the object of passing
the time, Holden went to a concert, and
on entering the room he suddenly stood
spellbound, without making an effort to
reach his seat, his eyes fixed upon the lady
who was singing.
1T is she-Victorine! he said to him
self. How his heart beat; how he longed
for the concert to be over.
The music dragged its way on to the
end of the programme Holden thought
it would never cease. At last it was over,
and the young man-young, indeed, no
longer, yet with the boys heart beating
widely in his breast-waited ontside the
stage door.
At length tall, cloaked figure appear
ed, and an old woman came out of the
crowd to meet it. The two moved away
together, Holden following.
He allowed them to reach their destina-
ton, and just as the lady in the cloak was
following her duenna across the threshold
of her home, Holden, in voice that trem-
bled with emotion, spoke the word
''Victorine!'
"Who are you?" she cried in French.
''Do you not remember me? l am
Samuel Holden"
''Ah! My mothers friendr'
Your other! You are Victorine's
daughter? But tell me frst--your mother ?
How is she? Where can | find her?"
The answer came in tone of sorrow,
mingled with pity:
''She is dead
Next day, Holden learned that his old
friend had left England on purpose to see
after the musical education of her daugh-
ter, and bring her out in the musical
world, but she had not lived long enough
to finish her task.
Every day that he saw the daughter he
disco, cred some look or tone or little trick
of manner which made the last ten years
like ga mist that rolls away"
By degrees, however, the passed receded,
the present took its place, and before long

Cleveland for Free Fra6e.

New York Press: Candidate Cleveland
in his latest letter declares that ''no
sincere friend of an honest tariff can OBJ
ject to the position which the demo-
cratic party has assumed on the SUBJ
iect." This is the geptlemahs airy and
cheerful way of telling tn Sc Who object
to the Chicago platform that they are
liars or hypocrites.
Buffalo Express: Grover Cleveland
announces that the democratic plank is
acceptable TO him and says that the con-
test will be made on the lines which It
lay down. Democratic papers which
have been arguiog that the plank did
not mean anything and that the purpose
of the party was to be judged by it's
declarations of four and eight years ago
and find themselves deserted by their
leader.
Springfield Republican,; Cleveland's
letter to Ralph E. Hoyt, of California,
published yesterday, indicates that he
intends to stand fat-footed on the tariff

platform He could not well do other
wise. But while there is no question
about the goal finally to be reached, how
about the way in which the journey is to
be made? It is, as before, not a theory
but condition which confronts us.

his pitiess lances through and through
their wasted AID emaciated forms. A
thin green mantle, dotted here and there
with bits of perfumed color, clothed
the vague landscape and the few fragrant
snowdrifts shrunk to mere skeletons in the
northward slopes. Again in slanting lines
of rain the wet northers fed wailing over
the broad prairies, shifting their dismal

suddenly the morrow dawned to find

THE CLOVER.
JAMES wHITCoMB RILEY.

Some sing of the lily, and daisy, and rose,
And the pansies aud plnks that the summer time
throws
In the green, grassy lap of the medder that lays
Blinkin up at the skies through the sunshiny
days;
But what is the lily and all of the rest
OF the flowers TO man with a heart in his
breast
That has dipped brimmin' full OF the honey and
dew
Of the sweet clover blossoms his babyhood knew
l never set eyes on cloyer-feld now,
Or fool round the stable climb in the NOW,
But my childhood comes back just as clear and as
plain
AS the smell of the clover I'm sniffin again.
And | wander away in barefooted dream,
Where tangle my toes in the blossoms that
With the dew of the dawn of the morning of
Ere it swept DER the graves that I'm weepin
above.
And so love clover-it seems like part
Of the sacredest sorrows and joys of my
heart;
And thank the good God as I'm thankin' Him
now:
And l pray to Him STILL for the strength. when
I die,
To go out in the clover and tell it goodbye,
And lovingly nestle my face in its bloom,
While my soul slips away on breath OF per

IN STRA w BERRY TIME.
How to Preserve the Luscious Berry
Winter Use.

How to Preserve the Luscious Berry for
Winter Use.
The season of strawberries is now at
its height and house keepers should be
reminded that there is no better pre-
serve than one Of strawberries. Pre-
serve makers in this country have not been
as successful with this fruit as the
foreigners. The imported German pre-
serves seem to retain the flavor and al
most the frmness of the fresh berry.
The secret of their process is said to
consist in sim pie care. They cook but few
berries at once. Straw berries are not an
acid fruit, therefore they do not require
more than three quarters of a pound of
sugar to pound of fruit They are very
much better, however, preserved than
canned.
The very best way of preserving straw
berries is in their own juice. To six
quarts of ripe, firm berries allow four and
half pounds of sugar. Put three pints
of the berries in porcelain-lined kettle
with three quarters of a pound of sugar.
Place them at the back of the stove, where
they will simmer and where they will on
no account get beyond blood-heat. In an
hour tie juice will have drawn out Of them.
Mash them with a potato masher and
strain all the juice out of the berries
through a fine strainer. Add this Juice
to the remainder of the sugar and beat up
the whites of two eggs with their egg
shells in the syrup. Let the syrup come
to the boiling point rather slowly and boil
steadily for about five minutes. Then
strain it, putting cloth inside of the
colander and setting the colander on the
mouth of an open jar,
Return the syrup to the preserving ket-
tie, which should have been first thorough
ly washed. Have the cans ready and set
in boiling water in tin pan. As soon
as the syrup boils, add few of the ber-
ries, just enough to cover the top. When
these have cooked for FIVE minutes put
them in one Of the cans and put more ber-
ries in the syrup to cook. As soon as you
have a canful of berries, cover them with
syrup and fill another can. When all the
berries are used there may still be some
syrup left. Can this by itself as it is rich.
" favored with the strawberry and use it
for havoring desserts IN the winter. If
you wish to make strawberry cordial
add equal quantities OF white cooking
brandy to equal quantities Of this syrup.
1t is not strictly necessary to clarity and
strain the syrup for strawberry preserves,
though the preserves are much handsomer
if this be done. Strawberry preserves
should be kept in a cool, dark place or
they will be liable to ferment in the heat
of TIE summer. The safest way is to
pack the jars in boxes of sand and set
them in as cool a place as you have, re-
Numbering that dampness is as objection
able as heat

WAGES AND THE Cosl OF LIVING.
Effect of the Tariff Laws as Shown by Sen
ate statistics.

Effect of the Tariff Laws as shown by Sen
ate statistics.
The United States senate finance COM
mittee was instructed in March, 1891,
to ascertain the effect of the tariff laws
upon the imports a0d exports, the
growth, development, production and
prices of agricultural and manufactured
articles at home and abroad; and upon
wages, domestic and foreign he task
was committed to sub committee of
which Mr.. Aldrich was chairman. his
sub committee began compilation of
atistics. The compilation is nom
partisan. Mr.. Aldrich presented to the
senate last week a partial report. The
investigation covered a period from
June, 1888, to September, 1891,
The results show the cost of living of
a family in ordinary circumstances was
Al 100 of l per cent less at the end OF
the period than at the beginning.
Retail prices of 215 articles of general
consumption at three represen tative
poin fs-Fall River, Chicago and Dubu-
que, show a further declire in cost Of
living in May, 1892, compared with Sep
TENDER, 1891, of 2 per cent, and com
pared with June, July and August,
1889, of 3 4 per cent. Wholesale prices
declined at about the SINE rate
The average prices are all agricultural
products, except fl ixseed, were IS 81
per cent. higher in Septembe 1891,
b an at the initial period.
The cost of living increased in Great
Britain in the time hamed l 9 per
cent.
1t would appear that wages in the
United States averaged II per cent.
higher than in Great Britain.
