Sensational Scene I'm Court

LOUISVILLE Ky, Dec. 1O.-1 here was
a sensational scene in the city &C urt-
room yesterday afternoon. DR.. d. G.
Stevens and his wife had been arraigned
for inhumanly treating little Anna
Burre, a servant girl. The testimony
was so convicting and terrible in it's
nature that the prosecution made no
argument and Judge Thompson refused
to allow the attorneys for the defense
to speak, holding the defendants over
to the grand jury in 81, 900 bail each,
As he rendered his decision the crowd
in the courtroom broke out in one
great cheer and wildly demonstrated
its approval of the courts action.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 10.-There is
large advance in the cotton-factory
stocks in Augusta. Some of the secur-
tiles have advanced as much as $50 a
share in the last two weeks. The big
boom in cotton, which is now bringing
remarkably large prices, is attributed
as the cause of the advance of stock,
because the high price value of the
fieecy staple has necessitated an in
crease in the price of the manufactured
goods. The Augusta factory stock has
jumped from 7515 to 81 and is still go
ing up. King and Sibiey stocks are
both up and very little is offered for
sale on the market.

GERMANS GREATLY EXCITED.
Public Feeling In Berlin Seems to For,

tell Explosion.
BERLIN, Dec. 12.--The town is full
Ct rumors. One is that the Imperial
message dissolving the Reichstag will
be read to-day. Another rumor is that
the Army bill will be put into effect
without. consultation with the Reich
stag.
Public feeling seems to indicate the
nation to be on the verge of an explo-
sion. There is great opposition to the
Kaiser retaining Count Won Caprivi. 1t
will be remembered that the Kaiser
formerly expressed a determination to
keep Prince Bismarck in power in
spite of anything that might happen.

AN ELECTRIC BANQUET.

An Occasion Which an Entire Meal
Was Cooked by Electricity.
A highly interesting event mark.
ing another step in the application of
electricity to human needs occurred
recently in Ottawa Canada 1t was
nothing less than an electrical ban
quet " in which ewery dish on the
table was cooked by electricity. The
affair took place at the Windsor House.
and was participated in by the mayor
Of the city several electrical notabili-
ties prominent citizens. newspaper
men and railroad officials. The menu
comprised a great variety of dishes
and would have done no discredit to
Delmonico's. The whole bill of fare
fer the banquet had been gotten up in
the oven at the electrical car she'd
during the day. and brought down to
the hotel in special car After the
repast the party were taken in an
electric car to the car sheds. where
the oven was inspected and the whole
process explained.
A local paper gives the following
description of the cooking apparatus:
The oven is Of brick. about six feet
wide. and somewhat deeper and
about six feet high. In the lower
part OF the oven are two Ahearn heat
ers fed by q wire from the Chaudiere
Electric light company giving a
power OF fifty volts, There is no
water about this system as in the
house heating. 1t is just the dry
heat The maximum warmth pro-
duced by the two heaters is literally
sufficient to roast an OK, so intense is
it but of course can be modified away
down, and that easily. The beauty
OF the new system is that everything
So cooked is done equally all through.
There is no scorching in one part and
half-doneness in another part To
avoid loss of heat by opening and
shutting OF the oven door in cooking
there are at the side of the doors
peepholes as it were protected by
heavy plate glass. The progress of
cooking can thus be watched without
disturbance to the articles being
cooked. p" The same paper states that
this banquet was the first instance
, in the history of the world of an en-
tire mst, being cooked by electricity.

There will be boas of all kinds, long

and a good deal Of fluffy furs, such as

as "a plot to deprive me of his society;
to shorten his life by unnecessary care
and responsibility" Her words proved
prophetic, for he sacrificed his life in the
dedication of the Washington monu-
ment. The weather was extremely hot,
and the president drank large quantities
of ice water and partook freely of fruit,
bringing on the fatal illness. On his
death Mrs. Taylor became insensible,
and the agonized cries of the family
were heard out ON Pennsylvania avenue
Mrs. Taylor's heart was broken, and
she survived her husband only two
years. She never mentioned the White
House except in its relation to his death.
After he became president General Tay-
lor said his wife had prayed every day
for two months that Henry Clay might
be elected instead of himself
In May, 1851, Colonel Ellsworth, one
of the first victims of the war, was bur-
led from the East room, the simple but
impressive military service doing more
than any battle to fire the northern
heart.
Willie Lincoln, second son of the pres
Iident, died in the White House in 1862.
Mr.. Lincoln said this blow was the sad
dest Of his life; the most difficult to
bear. The guests room, in which he
died, Mrs. Lincoln never entered again.
President Lincoln did not die in the
White House, but his body lay in state
in the East room, and there women scat
tered flowers upon his breast, rugged
soldiers bent down to kiss his face, and
great crowds of people-rich and poor,
black and white-came to weep.
Mrs. Grants father, Frederick Dent,
died in the White House in 1878. To
the same room in which Mrs. Harrison
died General Carried was tenderly car
ried, and there he lay and suffered for
several weeks. During the Arthur ad-
and while New Years
reception was being held at the White
House, Elisha Alien, minister from Ha-
wall, fell fatally stricken within few
feet of the president and his gay party,
thus bringing the reception to sudden
end.
These are the notable tragedies of the
White House. How many other TRACE
dies of life and death, death warrants
signed and pardons refused, hearts
broken and lives ruined, have occurred
within its walls!
