AFTER-TEA CHIT-CHAT.

Our latest English critic, Panmore
Gordon, is cordial in his recognition of
the creature comforts of America. He
recalls, with establishment, the strange
averment made by Walter Besant: LAS
there is no cookery in America, 1t was
impossible, save by the aid of canvas
backs, to dine PAmerlcane." Our au-
thor's more enlarged experience ena-
bles him to pronounce this declaration
monstrous and indefenslble. HAS Be-
SAINT" he cried, "never heard of terra
pin-the true diamond back terrapin Of
Chesapeake, whereof the bellies OF
Baltimore make boast? Knows he
nothing of the chicken gumbo where
with the Creoles of New Orleans have
enriched the menu Of civilization
w OTIS he not Of the soft-shell crabs of
New York;" Mr.. Gordon assures the
English novelist that If he really knew
the United States he could instantly
draw up from memory q Rabelaisian
list Of triumphs of American
cookery, setting forth not only the
merits Of terrapiE, gumbo and SOFT
shelled crabs. but also of clam chowder,
of shad, pampano, and Spanish mack
erel, of corn bread, succotash and corn
on the cob. Mr.. Gordon goes on to
make the mouths of his readers water
by describing strictly American din
ner, at which he had the good fortune
to assist The host, it seems, bad seat
ed five guests about a round table. Be-
fore every man was an ice-packed bottle
Of the dry champagne he particularly
affected. To Blue Point oysters sue
ceeded terrapin; then whole canvas
back was put before each guest, one or
more birds being held in reserve for
men with enviable appetites. After
ward came mayonnaise of celery;
then the waiter served little fruit and
a little cheese. Finally, there was a
cup of coffee, after which the table was
cleared Tor action, and search for four
ares followed

ONE GOOD RESULT.

All the war talk we have been in
dulging in of late has proved one thing,
and that is, no matter how much We
may quarrel among ourselves over poll
tics or sectionalism, when it comes 10
flare-up with an outsider we are TO be
found all shoulder to shoulder-Demo-
crat and Republican, Northerner and
Southerner. II it has done no other
good the furry with Chile will go very
far toward obliterating the last Of the
boundary lines between the sections
Of this great nation.
From all parts alike have come
proffers Of service for the defense of the
national honor. From San Francisco to
Cape Cod and from the Lakes to the
Gulf there has been furnished ample
evidence that when it comes to fighting
with anybody but ourselves, we are all
Americans, knowing no party or sec
ton.
The warm-blooded South has been
particularly noticeable in this respect
From no quarter has the administra-
ton Of President HARRISON received
assurances Of more cordial support, po-
Iitical, financial, and military, than
from the statesmen in Washington who
speak for the South. These represent
atives have shown almost an eagerness
for the opportunity of proving their al
legiance to the national authority.
Had President HARRISON called for
war an overwhelmingly Democratic
Congress would have backed him almost
solidly.
This demonstration that the Union
was never frmer than it is to-day is
worth all the bother we have had
and may yet have in the complication
with Chile.

BRUSSELS, January ga portion Of
the residence Of the Duke OF Areuberg
in this city was discovered to be on fire
at two o'clock this morning. The origin
of the fire is unknown, but it originated
in the bedroom Of Princess Ludmille,
of Croy Dulmen, a sister of the Duke,
who is the wife Of the hereditary Prince
of Croy Dulmen. The Princess and her
young children barely escaped with
their lives.
The palace occupied by the Duke OF
ArenberC was very old one, and
many historical associations clupg
about IL. All the works of art in the
wing occupied by the Prince OF Croy
Dulmeu and his family were lost. With
this exception, the other portion Of the
structure received little injury.

sort Of preliminary fighting the
girls will beat the boys every time, and
our bachelor friends should not lay the
flattering JUNCTION to their souls that
their fortresses Of single-blessedness are
impregnable because after twenty-three
days chance there has been no decisive
move on the part Of the enemy-hum-
bly, begging pardon of the ladies for
using this technical but false term to
designate their side.
At the same time we timidly venture
a little advice to the Amszonian forces:
In Leap Year struggle it is always
well to wear toe-weights. 1t is possible
to leap too far.

SOME five weeks have elapsed since
Chief McN1cHoLLs took holo of the
helm OF police affairs. 1t is a matter
OF general comment that within that
time a marked change for the better IS
Noticeable. The byazen violation OF
sunday laws in regard to selling intoXi-
cants has nearly disappeared; there is
better discipline in the police force than
under the old regime, and consequently
# is doing better work. Altogether
the public is highly grati6ed over the
situation and trusts that it may con-
tinue.

ADAElNG ROBBERY.
Two Men Hold Up an Express Car on the
Missouri Pacific


LRMAR, No., January 23.-Two very
bold men robbed the express car of the
Missouri Pacific train which reaches
here at 1890 a. m. The men held OF
the occupants Of the car, keeping them
covered with revolvers while the train
travelled the ten miles between Sheldon
and Lamar.
The two men, of whom only most
meagre descriptions are obtainable,
boarded the train at Sheldon in the
baggage and express car, in which were
Express Messenger Houck and Baggage
Master Hall and Travelling Passenger
Agent Barrett.
All were covered with revolvers and
their pockets ransacked. From Hall
S75 was taken, from the others small
sums OF money and some jewelry.
Houck was forced to give the combina,
tion of his safe and this also was rob-
bed. The amount taken from the safe
was small.

sIf housekeeuers would take hint
from the hotels" q hotel man remarked
last night after the late trains had de-
posted a group Of guests, they would
have less trouble with their servants.
Hotel men have no trouble getting all
the help they want, though the wages
they offer are very moderate. The diff
erence is not so much in the work as 10
in the hours. In private house, as
rule, a girls laborS are from the rising
of the sun to the going down OF the
same, and more, too. And If she hap
pens 10 get through her work and ven
lures to sit down, there may be an OBJ
lection from q hypercritical mistress.
In a hotel a girl has certain well-deined
duties to perform, and after they are
done her time is, as rule, her own. II
some such arrangement could DE recog-
nized in private houses, the servant
problem would be much more simpii-
fed"

Wheeling business men might find it
to their advantage to note the results OF
organization in St. Paul for industrial
progress. Since January, 1890, sixteen
new factories, representing an invested
CAPITAL reaching into the millions and
employing thousands of men, have
been located within her borders. The
real estate dealers, business men and
manufacturers formed themselves into
organizations and hustled TO secure new
enterprises. Every organization had
some end in view and was very success
full in the work of booming the city.
The result demonstrates that it takes
thorough organization TO lifta city into
prominence.

Said an old timer yesterday: "When
a man has acquired a habit of eating at
a certain restaurant regularly, he un-
consciously thinks Of that particular
place whenever he becomes hungry.
He may have begun by accident, or by
securing a good place, good waiter, u
favorite dish, or may have met agree
able people. Some insignificant thing
struck him probably. In few days he
goes there by habit. He gets angry
and dissatisfied every now and then and
tries another place, but he finds draw
backs everywhere and returns to the
other place. Habit is stronger than the
attraction of superior food, and cooking
stronger than money considerations. If
it were not for habit many a restaurant
in this city would be empty at meal
times"
