The grape crop of New York will
be about twice as large this year as
usual and the quality excellent. New
York, says an exchange, can't hold a
candle to North Carolina as grape
grower, and yet people there make
money raising grapes on land that
costs five times as much per acre as
land does in this State.

Ancient Cookery.

The dinners which Antony and
Cleopatra gave in Alexandria seem
to have been almost unrivaled for
profusion, says All the Year Round.
A certain Phildas, who had some
acquaintance with the chief cook,
was invited by him to come and see
the sumptuous preparations; and
his account of what he saw has been
handed down to posterity.
In the kitchen he admired the
prodigious variety of all things;
ad seeing eight wild bears being
roasted whole before huge fires
which glowed like furnaces. he ma.
turally remarked:
Surely you have a large compa-
ny today"
The cook laughed at his sim
plicity.
"No," he said, "covers are aid
only for twelve, but every dish
must be served up just roasted to a
turn. II it is but a single minute
overcome or underdone it is spoiled.
Now, it may be that Antony will
dine this moment; maybe an hour
hence; he may call for wine, or
begin to talk and put it off; so that
it is not one but several dinners
which must be held in readiness,
since it is impossible to know when
Antony will give the order"
Which reminds oneof the fowls

CHASTITY MementOes

The faculty of the University of
Michigan is said to be very much
wrought up over the latest develop.
ment in the medical department. 1t
has been discovered that at least
twelve of the medical students have
pocketb ooks made of human skin.
One of the CHASTITY things is in the
possession of the faculty and others
have been seen, but who the stu
dents are that have them is only
suspected. The facts came out
through the publication in New
York jewelry journal Of notice
that firm of Detroit jewelers. had
received from New York a number
of fine pocketbooks made from
the skin of q convict, who died at
the Jack son prison. The officers of
the state prison at Jackson indig-
nantly denied this, and as the un-
claimed bodies of convicts are sent
to the dissecting rooms of the med
zeal college, it was at once apparent
who possessed these unseemly tro-
phies. The Detroit jewelers. &C.
knowledged the fa,ts. They say
that a number of the students ap
piled to them to have the pocket
books made; that the skin was sent
on to Boston to be tanned; that it
was made up in New York, and the
pockets sent to them few days
ago.

SHAMoKrS, Pa, April IA miners lamp
caused AN explosion in tho Neilaons shaft,
operated by LenRdon d Co.. this morning.
many minefg were in the mine at tho time;
the greater part of the number escaped but
ten lost their lives and number of mulcs
were suffocated. Owing to yesterday being
holiday there were not as many men at
work as usual. The dead have been re-

Attempts were made to fight the fire. but

Through the arWay the smoke poured, suf-

Almost the entire town gathered In The
VICINITY OF the burning mine. The scene
was most distressing. About midday the
rescuing party went down the shaft. When
they pt oceeded short distance under con-

across the bodies of two men locked in each

eight more men were found, making ten

An Interesting Fight Over Some Land
Near the City of Great Falls.

An Interesting Fight Over Some Land
Near the City of Great Falls
The Helena land Office yesterday rendered
decision in the contest case of Henry II.
Porter against Lewis L. Bonney, involving
the SOUTHWEST quarter Of section 81, town
ship 81 north. range east. The 100 acres
at issue are within five miles of Great Falls
and were claimed by Bonney under home
stead entry, which he afterwards sought to
commute to pre-emption. Porter CON
tested the entry, alleging that the land was
abandoned by Bonney; that the latter never
established bona tide residence or lived
upon the land at any time; and that the
entry was fraudulent and not for his own
use, but for other parties. and that he had
sold the land. The register and receiver of
the Helena othoe, in their decision, say the
charges that the tracs il not settled upon or
cultivated by Bonney are immatsrial in
that final entry having been made ali this,
though true, would not affect the validity of
the entry. The charge that the entry was
fraudulent and for others was apparently
abandoned. The only thing to be consid-
cred, they say, is the charge that Bonney
never established u bona tide residence or
lived upon the land at any time. Bonney
ana his wife lived in Great Falls, and she
never Went to the land. The testimony
tho opinion saws. confirms the conviction
that Bonney's presence on the land was
merely by occasional visits for the purpose
of maintaining Il fictitious residence. Res
ldenoe in such cases IL declared to be
LARGELY matter of intention and good
faith. and ns Bonney refused to testify
himself on that point, only tho most dam
aging conclusions can be drawn. The
opinion continues: while this entry
should be cancelled. we are of the opinion
that no prefe' enoe right should be allowed
tho contestant. We are of the opinion tho
contestant is not the real party in interest,
but that he ID instigated thereto by the
Cascade Land company for its ultimate
benefit. The ma jority of Porter's witnesses
are employees of the company. Others are
associated i'll other enterprises with the
company's manager, who is Porter's father.
Porter himself IL in the company's employ"
After commenting on the testimony relative
to this point the opinion continues: "For
these reasons We recommend no preference
right of entry bo awarded contestant"

WARRINGTON, April 1.-Disclosures with

comment. All arrangements for the repre-

were made by Gen, Foster and evidently
with the determination that its staff should
not lack wealth with which to mnke dis
play. Looking Rt it in that light there are
some people who are willing to admit that
the ex-secretary had the right idea, but
think he carried it TO an extreme For in
stance, thev do not see why tho paymaster
OF the commission, whose duties occupy no
more than one or two daYs at the outside in
every month, should have been allowed 40

fall to sec why paymaster is necessary at

the fact that the two secretaries are doing
