Afro American OPean.
For some time the colored people Of the
city have been greatly worked up over
scurrilous attacks made upon prominent
people by the Standard, paper which
claims TO represent the Afro-Americans Of
the city. The paper did formerly repre-
sent the coiored people, but it fell into un-
scrupulous hands, and recently it has
done all in its power to inciie race preju-
dice and to antagonize the good will Of
white citizens whose relations with their
colored brethren have always been pleas
ant Recently the paper has attacked 90
many citizens and has shown so little re-
spect for men holding dignified and honor
able positions shat meeting of subscrib-
ers was called and was held yesterday at
the Office Of A. A. Garner, the colored at
torney. A warm discussion took place.
The colored people took great interest in
the paper under its former management,
and they freely expressed their disap-

PARIS. May 2S-In his argumen. before
the Boring sea tribunal of arbitration to-
day Sir Charles Russell disputed the
American contention that the New.ound-
land fishery right claimed under the
treaty of 1888 sanctioned the American
claims to exclusive right of seal catching
in Bering sea. Sir Charles argued that
the seizure of vessels in the open sea was
unjustitiable for any reason except piracy.
and the right of visitation and search of
vessels upon the open sea was non-exis:-
ent. save as belligerens act, as conceded
by the treaty.

Explanation Of n sword Trick.

A trick in which sword Is appar.
emily passed through persons alb
domen is explained as follows. The
sword employed is a thin, flexi-
BILE dull blade. The prestidigitator.
whose body the sword will simply
pass around, but not pierce, carries
concealed beneath his vest sheath
that consists of hollow tube, semi
circular in shape, the two extremities
OF which are. bent in contrary direc-
tons in such way that they are
situated in the same straight line, the
two orifces opening in front and be-
hind at. right angles with the abdo-
men. This tube runs around the
farther side of the man. who, appear
ing instinctively to grasp the point
of the sword as if to protect himself,
directs it into the metallic tube. The
flexible sword makes its exit between
the tails of the coat. 1t is necessary
to operate rapidly, so that the spec
tators shall not have time to see that
the length of the sword has dimin-
ished, the curved line that it follows
not being the shortest passage from
one point to another. Cincinnati En-

Pellagra In Italy.

The British vice consul at Venice in
his last report says that notwithstand
ing all the efforts Of the authorities the
pellagra, disease affecting the poorer
peasantry, still exists in the Venetian
and Lombard province. 1t is chiefly due
to the miserable condition of the people
especially of the day laborers, whose
wages in winter amount to something
less than franc a day for each day Of
work. They feed almost exclusively on
polenta, live with their families in mis-
erable, damp, unwholesome huts, are
uncertain of being able to gain their
livelihood on the morrow. and there is
no hope for them Of improving their con
dition.
The number Of peasants who emigrate
annually to foreign countries rather
than starve at home is greatly increas,
ing. According to the statistical tables
published by the Italian government. the
emigrants in 1891 from the Venetian
provinces were 1874, 1854, while in 1890 the
total number was 67,676. In the prov
ince Of Rovigo. where the condition of
the peasantry is terribly hard, about Z
per cent Of the inhabitants emigrated in

In the winter season quantities Of
eggs are frozen, and 1t is generally
considered that such eggs are worth
but little, or to say the least, are
much injured for cooking purposes.
This, however, Ia not strictly true,
for If properly treated they are but
little injured Instead of putting
them into cold water to take out the
frost and waiting several hours for
the thawing to take place, as was the
custom, and then finding the yolks
in such solid state that they can
be used with no satisfaction in cook.
ing, try the following method: Place
them in boiling water and leave
them there from to 20 minutes, &C
cording to the amount Of frost il
them, when, upon their being opened,
the yelks will be found in such state
that they can be used for almost any
culinary purpose. Poultry World.

Deyiled Chicken.

SINCE young, plump chicken. Cut it
open in the back, remove the insides and
wash it quickly in cold water. Rub ta-
blespoonful Of salt all over it and place
it in the roasting pan with the breast
side up. Put a spoonful Of butter in
small pieces all over the chicken and
place it in the oven to roast. As soon as

and let it roast till tender. In the mean
time place the gihlets in a saucepan with
cold water, add half teaspoonful of salt
and an onion and boil until the giblets are
tender. Then take them out. chop them
fine and set aside. AS soon as the chick
en- is done transfer it to hot dish. Re-

Having Been Dumb For sixiy-fivc Years.
DIR. Livingston Speaks Again.
DIR. Livingston, resident of the li,.ir
village of Bennettsville. Chenango coun
ty, has regained the power of speech and
hearing after having been a deaf mute
for nearly 65 years. About two weeks
ago he awoke in the night with very
severe pain in his head. as If he had been
struck with club. He called OF, 10 bis

the sound Of his voice she awoke. aston
ished to hear him pronounce her name
She had never before heard him speak
As soon as she recovered from her sur
prise she asked him what was the mat
ter. Her words were the first he had
heard since he was an infant, and the
revelation of his changed condition as.
founded him. The pain in the mean
time grew less acute, and he and his wife
recovery.
The news spread quickly, and all the
next day the doctor was overwhelmed
with congratulations Conversation at
first caused him great annoyance. but
he has gradually become accustomed to
it. His vocabulary, which at first was
limited, has increased, and he has no
difficulty in expressing himself.
When DIR. Livingston was years old,
q severe attack of scarlet fever left him
entirely deaf. The few childish words
he knew gradually were forgotten, and
by the time he was 9 years old be became
a mute. Despite his past affiiction, the
old man is intelligent and well read. H
Is at loss to account for his strange
good fortune, and the physicians in the
neighborhood can shed no light on the
mystery.
DR.. Livingston is anxious to have his
case Investigated by the medical frater
nifty, in hope that some explanation as t.
his recovery can be given. The pain
which he felt in his head gradually passed
down his spine into his legs and then
left him entirely. Though II years old
he is in excellent health.-Cor. Utica
