Not only in Minneapolis, but in ST.
Paul, the murder was the sole topic
of conversation in the resorts where
men congregate, and the tone of the
people of Minneapolis was at least
menacing. Every one agreed that a
lynching would be most desirable
thing, If it were not for the reflection
it would cast on the good name of the
community, and it was much easier to
temporarily take Hayward out Of
town than to reckon with the uncer-
tainty of a crowd gathering about the
place of his confinement.

Minneapolis, Special.-At $3.50 last
evening the dead body of Miss Gather
inc Cling, dressmaker with parlors
in the Syndicate block, Minneapolis,
was found lying in desolate spot on
the side of the country road, half q
mile west of Lake Calhoun, with bull
let in her brain. About Z o'clock last
evening she engaged carriage from
the West Hotel and drove away alone.
The man who found her body met
the carriage rapidly driven to town
by an unknown man. Later In the
evening the carriage horse, minus the
driver, entered the livery stable from
which it was hired, and when the
owner of the stable examined the rig
he found blood and brains scattered
about the bottom of the carriage, and
on the back of the curtain, which had
been torn as though woman's body
had been thrown through 1t.
Miss Cling had been living at the
Ozark apartment house with her niece
Miss Louisa Ireland, who is a very
pretty and accomplished girl Of sew
enteen years old and who moves In the
best society.
The murder created great sensa-
ton in Minneapolis and completely
mystified the police.
Harry Hayward, who was known to
have been intimately acquainted with
the dead woman, was taken in custody
and put through a sweating process
by the police He was able to prove
an alibi and was released, but was
subsequently rearrested and charged
with the murder. 1t was learned by
the police that he had loaned Miss Cling
$1,000, taking as security $4,000
life insurance policy. Adry Hayward,
brother of Harry, was also arrested
and made confession, stating that his
brother had disclosed to him the de-
tails of plot to get rid of Miss Cling,
for the purpose of getting the life
insurance.
Acting on clues furnished through
Adry's confession, the police arrested

Washington, Dec. 6.-The senate was
In session for only half an hour, as
the leaders of the majority desired to
causns on the general order of busi-
ness before proceeding with the busi-
ness itself. There was time enough,
however, for Mr.. Lodge of Massa-
chusetts to have passed two resolu-
tions for information which promises
to bring the Hawaiian and Bluefields
incidents before congress for comment
and probably criticism. There was the
usual deluge of bills and petitions In
cident to the opening days Of ses-
sion, none of them, however, being Of
public Importance.
The session of the house was ex-
ceedingly dull and uninteresting. The
attendance was small and there was
no clash of any, kind. A bill provid-
ing for the dedication of the Chicka-
magua and Chattanooga military park
Sept. 10 and 20, 1895, and one for the
establishment of a military park on
the site of the battle CT Shiloh were
passed and the remainder of the day
was devoted to fruitless discussion
of the printing bills.

FRIED ONIONS.

The art of frying an onion so that
it will be delicate and crisp is not
generally understood. There is but
one way to fry this vegetable which
will give the right result-that is, to
cut it in slices and soak the N in milk
for at least ten minutes. Then dip the
slices in flour and immerse them in
boiling fat, hot enough to brown in
stantly bit of bread thrown in. You
cannot keep the onion in slices, so it
is not worth while to try to do SO.
After they have fried for six or seven
minutes they may be lifted up with a
skinner on to brown paper and will
be found firm and thoroughly deli
cious. Cooked in this way they may
be served as a garnish to daintily-
broiled beefsteak or to dish of fried
chops or beef croquettes. There is no
way of frying an onion in pan with a
little butter, as commonly recon-
mended in cook books, which will pro.
duce a satisfactory result. The onion
softens and absorbs the butter, owing
to the natural law of capillary attrac-
tion, and the result is that the butter
and onion become a dark and greasy
mass. American Cultivator.

The Ark Beats All.

Speaking of ancient ships and ship
building, Professor j. Harvey Biles
said that, though Great Britain and
America had made such great strides
in shipbuilding, none of their wooden
ships approached the dimensions of the
Ark, which was 450 feet long, seventy.
Ave feet broad, and forty.five feet
deep. He calculated that this was
the size OF this vossel from the Bible
measurements, taking the cubit to be
eighteen inches. This, he thought,
was the correct measurement, The
largest wooden ship ahoat now was the
Shenandoah, and her dimen sions were
299 feet by torty-nine feet broad and
twenty-nine feet deep. Even the
Campania was much smaller than the
Ark, except in length, and the dimen-
sions of the Ark had only been cX.
ceeded in the case of the Great East.

APPLE JELLY.

Apple jelly is little regarded be-
cause the apple is so common. Never
theless it is one of our most excellent
fruit jellies, and it is q standard de-.
pendence of the French cook in the
preparation of fruit pies and various
other desserts The French make
many delicious compotes of apples.
The difference between n compete and
a preserve should be carefully noted.
compete is II preparation of fruit
put up for immediate use, as we put
up cranberries or stew apples; pre-
serve is preparation of fruit intended
to be used at some distant time, and
may usually be kept twelvemonth or
longer. Apple preserves are an alb
surdity, as apples are found in market
all the year round, except in the be-
ginning of summer, when other fruits
are in abundance. Apple jelly is best
prepared from time to time as it is
needed, though there is no objection
to having two weeks supplies in the
house for fruit pies and general use.
A compete should not be made more
than day or two at the furthest be-
fore it is to be served. The most
familiar American compete, moulded
cranberries, is considered to be in its
prime condition the day after it is
made.
For an apple jelly select dozen
firm, we'll favored apples. Fall pip
pins make an excellent jelly, but almost
any well favored, slightly tart apple
will do for this purpose. Do not peel
the apples, but cut them into quarters,
leaving the core in, but removing any
wormy specks. Partially decayed APP
pies are unfit for the purpose. Poul
pint of cold water over them ant
slice in half a lemon. Put them in
porcelain-lined kettle to boil. LIE
them cook for twenty minutes, ant
then strain them through fine sieve
or coarse cloth. Add sugar in the
proportion of pound to every pint
of juice. Let the sugar and apple
juice boil together for twenty minutes.
Then test the mixture, and as soon as
it forms a jelly pour it into cups. A
layer cf this jelly spread over an apple
meringue pie before the meringue is
put on is a great improvement, and
most French cooks use such layer in
all their fruit pies, both next to the
crust and over the fruit, so that the
fruit is incased in the apple Jelly. The
reason for this is that the apple is an
inexpensive, convenient article to use,
and possesses the ability to take to
itself the flavor of other fruits, like
peaches, pineapples and greengages.
A most delicious apple meringue pie
is made of apple jelly strongly tine
tured with lemon juice and covered
with meringue favored with lemon.
For the purpose of economy nice
applcsauce, strained as it should be,
and with layer of apple jelly over it
and then the layer of meringue is more
often used. New York Tribune.
