Quaker Oats
Shrimp Salad.

Take the shrimps from the can and reject
all discolored ones. Remove the intestine,
which is the little dark line running around
the outside of the shrimp-this is often
neglected, and while not dangerous to eat, as
in the case of the lobster, it is fully as objec-
tionable. The shrimps make better salad
when cut in pieces, not too small. Be sure
and use a silver knife for this, steel one will
discolor the shrimp and taste. MarIuate the
the shrimps, /. e., cover them with French
dressing and allow TO stand for an hour.
Shred an equal quantity of lettuce leaves or
cut sufficient celery in pieces. Mix with the
shrimps, add one cupful of mayonnaise dress
ing. Mix thoroughly, tossing rather than
stirring it, and serve on curly lettuce leaves
or garnished with celery tops.

Sealskin jackets are this season cut about

are mostly double breasted. The skirts
are full. Cloth coats are very like those

Melton cloths with finely speckled sur
faces are more patronized than the
plain faced clothes ruling in 1898. They are
somewhat longer, fit more closely in front and
tighter in the back and have sleeves of less

BERLIN, April 2S.--The cazarowitz is
expected here on Tuesday next en- route
to st. Petersburg, and he will probably
stay in Berlin few hours as the guest of
Emperor William. whom he has invited
to his wedding.
Inquiries have resulted in information
to the effect that the German govern
ment will under no consideration con.
sent to any proposition which would
diminish German influence in Samoa or
elsewhere, and change from the pres
ent attitude of the German government
towards Samoa, therefore would only be
in the direction OF German protector
ate over the Samoan islands. On the
other hand, the German government is
willing to grant to the United States by
treaty any demands which would secure
to America her present commercial
rights and standing ia Samoa. This i g
the standpoint OF Germany, and it is
looked on as involving the honor OF the
German empire.
The Bavarisn government, with the
double view to prevent adulterstien and
to bring profit to the Bavarian treasury,
has opened an extensive drinking sa-
loon in Munich. This has greatly in
censed the retailers in Munich. They
claim the government ought to be satis-
fed with the immense profits it already
gets from the state brewery.
In pursuance of his plar TO suppress
extravaganza among the officers in the
German army, Emperor William has
instructed the commanding officers only
to give permission to keep race horses to
the most wealthy of the officers, and to
suppress the custom according to which
subordinate officers make expensive
presents.
The empress of Germany and her
children arrived at Potsdam from Abaz-
zia today and drove straight to the new
palace. The empress received an ova-
ton from the people gathered to well
come her.
Emperor William starts on his Nor
wegian tour at the end of June.

Gravier and Commerce streets. From the
kitchen it ascsnded through back ele-
vator to the upper stories OF the build
ings. The progress of the flames was so
rapid that the Commerce street side OF
the third, fourth and fifth stories WAS
soon in flames, and before the occu-'
pants-guests and servants-could be
moved. Every effort was made to awaken
the occupants. but the flames drove the
fremen and others back.
Several persons were seen at win
dow on the fourth floor facing on Com
merce street, apparently in flames,
crying for help. One of them, man,
sprang from the window, falling on the
pavement on his head and dashing out
his brains. His clothes were burned
from him and the body was black with
burns. What became of the others who
were standing around him-whether
they escaped or were burned to death
it ia impossible to say, and will not be
known until the ruins are searched to-
morrow. The dead man was burned be-
yond recognition, and 1t is impossible to
say whether he was guest or a aservant.
Ladders we're placed against the win
dows on the lower floors and several
women were taken down, many OF thoDl
in faintiny condition. Another man,
who sprang from a window, was in
stantly killed. His name and residence
are unknown.
