A strange sect has come to public
notice in Madrid. 1t has its head
quarters in the Gala de Sombrerette,
a poor, but central portion of the town.
There are about thousand members
in Madrid, and the membership in the
provinces is increasing, despite the
united efforts of the government and
clericals to check its growth. The
largest branch is at Valencia.
The two leading doctrines of the
sect are the propagation of the human
race and the banishmcnt of disease.
The leader is a former workman
named Jimina, who is called THE
Great Pontiff," and at whose house the
members meet. After prayers and sing
ing at these meetings the pontiff
blesses the sick and administers holy
water to them. Crowds of sick people
flock to him to be healed, and there
seems to be particular desire to sub.
nit sick children to his ministrations
The gatherings take place at night
The strictest morality is enforced as q
part of the tenets of the new religion.
The doctrine of the propagation of the
race is carried into effect in this wise:
Any woman is entitled to rise in
meeting and cry out: 81 wish to mar
ry" so and So naming the favored
man. Tho man upon whom her choice
has fallen is doomed to become hus-
band 1t is useless for him to protest
prior engagements The pontiff mar
ries the couple then and there. Over
three hundred such marriages have
been carried out and the popularity of
the pontiff among women desiring
matrimonial partners Is unbounded
Their benefactor is just now under n
cloud, having been thrust into prison
on a charge of practicing medicine
without legal authority. Scores of
women show their devotion to the per-
secuted pontiff by gathering outside
the prison and uttering lamentations

A KITCHEN NECESSITY.
The Heating Closet and It's Variou

The Heating Closet and It's Various
The heating closet of a stove or range
is a part of its furniture which the or
dinary cook often ignores. In nine
kitchens out of ten, one will find it
cluttered up with ashes and dust, or
used as depository for the kindling
wood, if it is used at all. In point Of
fact, the heating closet of a range is
second in Importance only to the oven
In it's usefulness to the cook. Here is
where hot dishes, compelled to wait a
moment while meal is being served,
should be left. In extreme cold weather
it is one OF the best places to set rolls or
bread to raise in the pans If the bread
is we'll covered up, it will not become
dry on top kept in this way, and will
rise rapidly and evenly. This is an ex.
cellent place in which to dry
stale bread before rolling 1t
and sitting it. A quantity of stale
bread broken up and laid on pans for
twenty-four hours in the heating closet
will be dry enough to be crushed easily
to a powder by the end of that time 1t
is good place in which to dry noodles
If there is not large fire in the stove
and it is not too warm. After the
plates for any meal have been heated,
as they should be by dipping them in
boiling water, they may be wiped and
kept at an equable temperature in the
heating closet without danger Of their
becoming superheated and the enamel
becoming cracked. Slices of pumpkin
and fruits of various kinds may be dried
for future use by setting them on plates
in this closet. The good cook will find
that the use of the heating closet will
save her many steps and much incon-
venience when she once learns its val

Samuel Y. Preston tried to kill Mamie
Preston, his wife, in the Frankiurter saloon.
at the southeast corner of Bush street and
Grant avenue, at $40 o'clock last night.
Preston is a furniture worker and rather
handsome. He married Mamie four years
ago and they took lodgings.
Sometime after the Inevitable waning of
the honeymoon Samuel began TO think
lightly Of his marital vows and left his wife
night after night to entertain herself, while
he entertained others of her sex.
Mamie put up with this treatment until
FIVE or six months ago, when she came TO
the conclusion that she would follow her
husbands example. She left home and
went forth into the giddy world.
Yesterday afternoon Preston received
letter from his wife in which she requested
him to send her clothes to the Frankfurter
saloon. Preston did not take his vife's
clothes to the saloon, but he took himself
and revolver.
He entered the place at 7:45 o'clock and
sat down beside his wife. They eOnyersed
for few moments in low tones. Then the
dialogue became animated, and Preston be-

The woman arose and walked toward the

struck her on the left side. He fred again,
and the ball struck the door through which
she desired 10 pass. As he raised the
weapon to fire again he was seized by two
men who were near him and thrown TO the
door. They held him fast until the police
came and took him to the City Prison.

A BIG Loss TO THE CITY,
S. W. Holiday Wins His
Long Suit.
Portion Of Lafayette Square TO Pass
F-cn the People Into Private
Hands

A learned and remarkably lucid opinion
accompanied Judge hebbsrd's decision
yesterday In the famous case OF the People
Of the State VS.. S. W. Holiday ct al.
The suit has been pending before the
court for fourteen years, and In various
forms for twenty-nine years.
The original action was brought to quiet
title to a portion of Lafayette square,
which was dedicated to public use in
March, 1855 and on which the defendants
erected buildings
The defendants claimed that they had
been in possession of the land since,1855,
and when the courts we're asked to adiudge
the buildings q nuisance they denied that
the land had ever been dedicated to public
use as a square, although admitting that ii
was part Of the tract designated on the map
Is Lafayette Park.
After trial an appeal was taken to the
Bew trial This was affirmed by the higher
tribunal, which incidentally held that a
judgment taken against the city also held
the State.
The Supreme Courts decision brought the
matter into Judge Hebbard's court, and in
this last trial the defendants introduced a
Judgment Of Judge Rearden giving judy
ment against the city for the whole amount.
Thus, following the Supreme Courts de-
cisloD, the city as well as the State must be
held bound for the whole amount; and,
hough previous decisions may have been
erroneous, Judge Hebbard was compelled
10 md IN accordance with them.
The State is likely to appeal the case again

There were not lacking questions and ex-
