THEY SPEAR FISH
Contrary to Law, and the Warden Is
After Them.

For some days gang of men who
evidently hold the law in light es-
TEEN have been spearing fish in the
Blue Earth at Rapidan Mills. AS
each succeeding member of the fnny
tribe has been dropped into the boat
there was doubtless laugh in the
sleeve and an inward chuckle at the
cute way in which the officials were
duped.
But Warden Mendenhall is right
after them, as the following card from
him yesterday to the FREE PRESS
will show:
RAPIDAN MILLS, Nov. q, 1894.
TO the Free Press:
Parties spearing fish in the Blue
Earth are known to the game warden.
Please mention the above.
Yours, ETC.,
VIM. MENDENHALL,

"Ir1PORTED" NOT.
A Peddler RENTS Handsome Sum
to American Dealers.

The chief reason, and in fact the
only one given by. the cloth peddlers
who have been infesting the city for
two weeks. for making such killing
sacrifice o. their goods, has been that
they were imported" and that they
could not be sold in a dull market or
returned to the old country because
of the Mckinley tariff.

gang, ragged Arab who could hardly

$3.50 which he had sent to New York

AmuSGmentS

katO PeOple--Ihe Various
Amusements
1t has been many years since the
people of Mankato enjoyed a Thanks
giving day like the one just past. 1t
seemed as though everyone was en-
deavoring to make it the most mem
orable day of their lives; and it is
quite probable that they succeeded.
The young people skated. They
went by the hundred to the clear
spots on the Minnesota river and the
new skating club took it's first official
outing. The amusement was SO new
for this time of the year and the wea-
Their was so favorable that the sport
was continued until a late hour.
ROYAL ARCANUM PARTY.
The Royal Arcanum gave an infor-
NAL dance and party at the A. O. U.
w. hall last evening. Progressive
whist was the feature of the occas-
ion. Refreshments were served at
about 1890, after which there was
dancing to the music of the piano
played by various members Of the
company. 1t was a pleasant affair.
IN UNION HALL.
Henry Zimmerman played to a
crowded house at his hop in Union
hall. Over 1876 tickets were sold at
the door. Dancing began at $50 and
continued until II O'Clock when sup
per was announced in the basement.
The crowd managed to put aside
nearly 200 pounds of turkey, and it
was after o'clock before the repast
was cleared away. Dancing was con-
tinued until after a. m.

On keeping Up Appearances.

Where does the money come from which
pays the high rents in this town? asks writer
in the New York Press. l am not talking
now about the flats. although some of them
rent as high as $1,000 year, but between
Fifty-ninth street and Broadway are hun
dreds, even thousands, of houses which rent
for not less than % 800 a year, and some of
them run up as high as $4,000. There is no
doubt that the cost of living in this town is
greatly added to by the proportion of income
devoted to rent. European calculates that
he will devote one-sixth OF his income to rent.
An American invariably devotes at least one
third. The difference is in the point of view
Most of us live beyond our means, lust as we
travel first-ciass when we're abroad. Each
man is as good, ii not better, than the other
fellow. and he feels it incumbent upon him 20
maintain the dignity which he has asserted
for himself. The result is not infreGuently
disaster. In community where classes do
not exist there surely ought to be sufficient
self-respect to live within ones income. what
ever it may be. without sacrificing one jot or
title OF ones social position. The English

roMnre an Easter Cake.

Squeeze out all the juice OF lemon and
also of an orange into separate cups and set
them aside. Take four fresh eggs and sepa-
rate whites from the yolks. Measure two even
cups full of powdered sugar, put them in the
mixing bowl with the yolks of the eggs, and
beat until they look quite light colored. Beat
the whites on Il plate until stiff. Take one
cup of new milk, one cup OF butter, and beat
into the yolks until smooth, add the milk and
one-half the whites of the eggs. Then
lastly put in three even cups full of thoroughly
sifted flour, into which two even teaspoons
iuli OF Royal baking powder are stirred.
Lastly stir in the juice OF the lemon, bake in
well-buttered jelly tins in quick oven, being
careful to put Just the same amount into each
tin. For a filling heat teacup full of new
milk and work into it one spoonful of corn
starch and as much sugar as it will take up.
After the orange juice is added, add one-half
OF the remainder OF the whites Of the eggs.
When it is like rich paste spread between the
layers of the cake. Use the remainder OF the
whites of the eggs for an icing. To make
this. add to it, spoonful by spoonful, as much
powdered sugar as it will take up. Then
spread over the top, after the cake has stood
fifteen minutes to cool. This makes DELI

Sketch of the Wife of the Deceased Philan.
thropist. -
Emma Bouvier Childs," says the Mail and
Express, sis as lender little woman, small feat
ured, dark complexioned and Of an exceed
ingly nervous temperament. Mrs. Childs has
never been society woman. She enjoyed
the friendship Of the most distinguished FAM
lilies of Philadelphia-the Cadwalladers. the
Prices, the Binneys, the Biddles, the Rosen-
gartens, and others of equal social distinc-
.ion-but fashionable functions at her town
or country house were practically unknown.
1t was her custom to lunch two or three times
a week with these intimate friends. In these
visits she was almost always accompanied by
her niece Miss Peterson, who lived with Mr..
and Mrs. Childs from childhood up to the
time of her marriage to Robert II. McCarter.
Mrs. Childs rarely appeared in public with
her husband. The theatre had no attractions
for her. Once or twice a year perhaps she
would see Edwin Booth or some equally dis
tinguished actor. The daughter OF the
late Dean Stanley has lived with
the Childs' for twenty years. Before
Miss Peterson's marriage, which took
place about five years ago, the three
were continually together. Miss Stanley is
now the constant companion of Mrs. Childs.
Her servants have been with her for gen.
eratien. From the scullery-maid to the butler,
every servant was sure of liberal present at
Christmas. and the family physicians services
were always ready in case Of illness. Mrs.
Childs carried out the same generous policy
in her home as her husband did in the office
of the Public Ledger. If a servant became
incapacitated by illness or injury, he or she
was pensioned of for life, and not infre-
quently provided with little home. If mar
riage instead of illness, Mrs. Childs took
pleasure in giving the girl substantial we'd
ding present. and Mr.. Childs generally added
something handsome. 1t was an invariable
rule of Mrs. Childs that her carriage horses
should never be out of their stalls after dark.
Neither Mr.. nor Mrs. Chids accepted any in
vitations TO dinners. 1t was found necessary
to make this rule about fifteen years ago."

FEMININE FANcIES.

One of the prettiest wash materials of the
season is the satin-striped zephyr. These
zephyrs are being shown in small check effects
in colors of corn. Nile, light blue, navy. golden
brown, beliotropc. lavender pink, cardinal
and mode. with contrasting shades introduced
in the satin stripes.
One Of the new colors is tawny orange
with a dash of red in it, and goes by the name
of ''chrysanthemum." There will be "a great
run on all the tobacco and snuff-colored
shades. and the redder and more orange tinted
the brown the more fashionable. Heliotrope
and some new greens and blues are finding
favor in the spring goods.
In Paris new petticoats of satin or silk are
made with feather-bone hoops. which reach
quite to the knees. Tiny aluminium wires are
inserted in the facings OF round-skirted walk
ing dresses TO give them the approved flare.
This to some of the more timid looks very like
the return of the crinoline, or, worse yet,
hoops.
A new reversible shot silk shows a mauve

and on the other violet spot. Velvet novel;
ties show colored spots on one side, and show

CLOTHING FOR THE CHILDREN.

The new caps for the small maidens just
learning to walk are the daintiest affairs i'm
aginable. Some of the prettiest are made OF
dotted Swiss. run in and out with narrow rib
bon. They have deep capcs. with ribbon-run
borders. and the ribbon is twisted in and out
over the crown, while tiny rosettes are perched
here and there in the Swiss ruching which
frames the baby face.
Both short and long silk coats are worn by
fashionable small girls. stylish silk jacket
is made of brown and white stripped taf1eta
silk double-breas:ed and fastened with largo
mother of pearl buttons. 1t has a deep collar
and cpaulettes of Point de Venice lace, while
the sleeves are much pulled. They are fin
ished with cuffs OF lace insertion.
Almost all the little dresses are made to be
worn with cuimpe. The silk ginghams are
finished, where the white yoke begins, with u
wide line of beading. through which rows OF
narrow black velvet ribbon are run. Rosettes
OF the ribbon ornament the dress wherever
there is convenient place for them, and rows
of ribbon confine the full null sleeves at the
wrist, tying in number of little bows.

Women WHO Wear Trousers.

In Canada perhaps 10000 women wear
trousers during the winter-of course with
the skirt. In this country the popularity of
the masculine garment is growing with re-
markable rapidity. The trousers are now,
and have been for years, in use for horseback
riding The fencing costumes, also trousers,
are worn without the skirt, and in the gym
nasiums of the fashionable boarding schools
for young ladies trousers are worn exclusively
and with excellent effect and comfort. In
Europe for the past two years Turkish
trousers are worn by fashionable women for
climbing the mountains. The same are worn in
the Scotch Highlands by English women The
bathing dress shows marked signs of follow
ing the general movement. At the French re-
sorts the most fashionable ladies appear with
the close-fitting bathing suits. with knee
trousers, leaving the skirt off entirely.
