THEY COOKED uNsoAkEp RAIN.
And by tho Aid of Lightning and Snow
Made Satisfactory Meal.


Perhaps one of the most peculiarly
prepared luncheons ever laid before
hungry people was one which we had
when wo were showed up in the theater
OF a small western town, - said a theat-
rical man to a reporter. "Upon this
night, in the brief interval after the
people left the theaber, while we were
dressing to go to our hotel, terrific
gnowstorn, such as you can only find
In the west, came up. The snow drifted
against our doors and all about the
streets, so that we had to remain all
night In the theater. OF course we got
hungry, as actors will sometimes do,
and we began a search for something
eatable.

We took this rain, as the profession is
pleased to call it, but saw no way Of
cooking it. Some one suggested that the
thunder might be good thing to cook
it upon, in lieu Of nothing better. The
thunder was a sheet of tin or iron
which was shaken to make the roar OF
heavens artillery. We bent the 'thun-
der 50 that it would hold the beans, but
were at loss for means for producing
heat. Our property man suggested that
we use lightning, powder of lycopo-
dunn, used for making flashes upon the
stage, for the fire. We found quite a
lot of this, and with the addition of
some 'snow'-ittle bits of paper used to
represent the beautiful-westarted quite

beans, which we ate with relish. Re-
solving into stage parlanoe, we had used

IDEAL JEWISH HOME.
A Discourse on the Subject by Rabbi
Sonnenscheim Last Night.

A the synagogue of the Congregation Ohabai
Shalone, on Mason street, near Post, last even
ing Rabbi Solomon Ii. Sonnenscheim delivered
a lecture on the Ideal Jewish Home In Amer
ica." In the course of his remarks the reverend
gentleman said:
'The word home has a sweet and sacred
ring 10 1t, and whoever has not a home longs
for one. The Jewish home is especially an
ideal home. America is the first country We
have had home In since we lost our home in
Palestine. Here we have home because we
know We are safe and can live In quietness.
But, for one who would know what an ideal
Jewish homt really s, would ask them 10
read the tbirty-fourth psalm, and there they
whl find a glorious description OF It,"
The speaker then spoke OF the sterling traits
of the Jews as a nation and how they con-
tribuied toward making a happy home. TIE
Jews, he SAID, are not idlrrs and do not live on
hers. They work hard and live by their
work. 1t was this that was the foundation of
the Jewish home. The Jewish wife was also a
model OF all those virtues that contributed
toward happy home. Yet withal the Jew
was ever looking forward TO that i'd al home
promised by God 10 his rorefathers so many
centuries ago. 1t was in heaven that the jew
expected 10 find his final ideal home, where
peace and happiness were 10 be found ever

WAR ON ENGLISH SPARROWS.
With the Spring Comes the Re
newal of the Agitation.

WASHINGTON. May 11.-With the spring
comes renewed agitation for the sup
preston of the English sparrow. DIR.
Chart Merriam, ornithologist of the Agrl-
cultural Department. says the sparrows
are now spreading over the fruit-growlng
districts of California. where. II represslye
measures are not quickly inaugurated, 1t
is destined to levy a heavy tribute. The
best way to fight the pests is by the de-
structiOn Of the nests and the young.
Ninety per cent of the nests may be
reached by a long pole and hook. The
stroDgholds of the sparrow in the city are
the mosses Of Japanese and English ivy
and Virginia creeper on the churches.
Multitudes of young birds may be de-
stroyed by dousing the vine with water at
night.
All bills for the determination OF the
Russian thistle have been reported ad-
versely to the House. The Committee on
Agriculture says the determination OF the
thistle is certain if each farmer gives suf-
ficient attention to the destruction OF
weeds before they mature. and the State
and local authorities destroy them In the

Mcguire Makes an Argument Before
the House Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 11-Marion c. But
Ter. president of the Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union, made an argument
before the House Committee on Postoii1ces
to-day in support of postal telegraph
stations. The Alliance favored the postal
telegraph scheme, because it would correct
an evil of monopoly.
Representative Mcguire of California
also spoke in continuation of his argu-
ment on the subject which lie began last
week. He declared that the telegraph
business is a monopoly; that an attempt
to meet 1t by private competition would
result in no benefit to the people; conse-
quently the Government ought to assume
charge of the business.
He believed that for S25. 000,0 600 the pres
ent Western Union plant could be dupli-
cnted, and the people would not have to
pay the interet on 800. 600, 600 capitaliza-
ton in stock, which does not represent the
actual investment. Replying to questions.
he said he did not think any one could
perform the work of the postal service as
cheap Is the Government.
This remark led Representative Loud of
California to remark that he was willing
TO take fOur-year contract for the work
a. $50, 600. 600 per year. Sundry difficulties
that would possibly arise in the transfer
Of the telegraph to the Government were
suggested by members of the committee,
but Mr.. Mcguire believed these could be
overcome or Obviated in ways that would
not work hardship on the telegraph com-
panies

The men demand a restoration of the

Of American Railway Union. The commit
tee advised the local unions to take vote
on the subject of striking, and afterward
heard that The officers of the company
had decided to shut down the works at
noon. Rather than te laid off the local
unions decided to strike. II was claimed
that three members of the conference CON-
mittee were laid off, and this fact had
