Early Piety.

God wants men in the flush of youth,
not I'm old age, when you have gotten
all out of the world that 1t can give
you, and have nothing to look forward
to but death. That Is not the time to
come to Him. 1t Is poor faith that can
only be convinced when 1t has nothing
TO lose and forswear the pleasures of
the world when he Is too old to enjoy
them.--Rev. G.. NJ. Boswell.

He Gives.

Jesus gives not because we can re-
pay Him, but because we are utterly
poor and weak and helpless. Hence,
we read as the first of the beatitudes,
blessed are the poor in spirit, for
theirs is the kingdom of God" Their
poverty is their crown; It gives them
power; II cnthrones them as princes
In the realm of grace. '

Maryland Corn Bread.

The good old-fashioned way Of max
ing corn bread seems to have gone out
Of style; people are in too great hurry
nowadays to wait the proper length Of
time for ''sweetening," so called. In
Maryland and Virginia, the home Of
corn bread, the batter is made over
night, so as to assist In the sweetening.
Take q pint of white meal, sift well,
and add two or three pinches Of salt
Take two eggs, beat them for few min
utes until well mixed. Then take half
pint Of sweet milk, add little warm
water, pour the milk into the meal, and
stir the mixture well until all the Jumps
are well dissolved. add the eggs and
beat the batter for some time. Cover
the bowl well and put in cool place
for the night. In the morning stir the
batter, pour in little more milk so as
to thin 1t, take teaspoonful Of melted
butter, stir 1t well in. Grease your
pan with butter and bake In a quick
oven. Serve hot. MF

MURDER IN THE SECOND
DEGREE.

The trial of Francis Sokolowski, charged
with the murder of Anton Kacporyski, in
Bayonne on the night of September s, came
to an abrupt conclusion this morning when
Prosecutor Winfield interrupted the defend
ant, who was on the stand, and announced
that the State was willing to accept a YER
dict of murder in the second degree. Sena-
tor DAILY at once said that the defense would
agree to this and that Sokolowski would re-
tract his plea and plead guilty to murder in
the Second degree.
Justice ~Llppincott agreed to this, saying
that it would satisfy the demands Of justice.
although it was likely that a verdict of
murder in the second degree would nave
been proven, there was a reasonable doubt
of his guilt" The Court then directed the
jury to render a verdict for second degree.
The result was interpreted to Sokolowski by
the interpreter, but he made no sign as to
whether he was surprised or satisfied.
He will be sentenced with Jennie Robin
son on Saturday morning.

AN OUTRAGEOUS ARREST
A Detective Walks a Woman
Handeuffed Through
the Streets.

State Detective Joseph Harrison of Ho-
boken made an arrest last night which
Recorder McDonough. this morning
characterized as an outrage. Harrison's
prisoner was Maggie Campbell. a young
woman of unsavory character. When
the prisoner was arraigned this morning
Harrison testified that he was passing
Ecklin's saloon in River street, near
Newark street, when he heard loud
voices, and entered. IT saw two men
fighting said Harrison, and when ]
separated then this woman interfered.
She is a bad character.
The prisoner told quite a different
story. Harrison is Town on me-" she
was quiet. There was no hghting. not
even a. quarrel, except what he had with
me. He threatenedto lock me up and
/ told him he didn't dare to-, Suddenly
slant he snapped a pair of handcuffs
upon my wrists. In this way he
marched me through the streets to Police
Headquarters, where he charged me with
being drunk and disorderly. ana also
Harrison denied that he ever had any
trouble with the woman. :,
III tnls oman's story is true said
the Recorder, her arrest was an out
rage. The officer had no authority. to
out a warrant. The Handwriting part
of it was ridiculous. I shall ask for wit
nesses to ~substantiate the officers
story"
nesses. He returned a half an hour later
and said he would nave one on hand
soon. The Recorder waited a half hour
and then gave the woman her liberty.

THE PREPARATION OF MEATS.
Methods by which French Butchers
Excel in Their Calling.

Butchers meat Gin France) is prepared
divided and arranged in the shops in
such a name hat it never suggests
slaughter. 1t is a rare thing for one to
see a stain on counter, bench or floor.
The mode of killing the animals probably
has something to do with this freedom
from moisture and dripping. Maria Par.
loa, in an article on 1.-The Science of
French Cooking" in the Ladies' Home
Journa for October, says the animals
are not bled before being killed, as might
be inferred from the absence of moisture
but they are killed in such a manner that
veins n arteries are emptied quickly
and thoroughly. After this the animal
is bouffee, hat is, filed with wind. The
large arteries are pressed open and the
points of large bellows are inserted into
them. While the bellows are being work.
ed a man beats all the parts of the car
cass with a fiat stick. This is to dis
tribute the air in all parts of the flesh.
All this work is done very rapidly. The
initiating of the animal in this manner
gives a fuller and firmer appearance to
the meat. and, I fancy, empties the veins
and arteries more e~ffectually than they
would otherwise be. The French use
very little ice, and meats are kept only
a few days at the most. The best beef
in France does not compare with Ameri-
can beef. but the veal is superior to any
thing we have. 1t is valued more high
ly than any other product of the butch
er. But no matter wha the Wand, when
it comes to the hands of the cook it lis
SO prepared that she has but little to do
to 1t except to cook it.

ODD INCIDENT IN A CAFE.

A comical incident occurred in a Paris
restaurant the other day. A high official
happening to be in the Montmartre dis
trict about dinner time, walked into a
restaurant much freduented by foreign
ers, and took his dinner there, his BILL
amounting to eight francs. When call
ing the waiter to pay for his meal, he
handed him a 20-frane gold piece, which
the waiter put into his mouth as is the
custom of the Paris walters. Making
change he only gave him two francs;
the gentleman looked up and said: Beg
your pardon, I want twelve francs, and
said the waiter. ""You gave me a 10
franc piece, see?" and Herewith he
took from between his lips a smaller
gold coin, showing it to the gentleman.
The OFFICIAL, considerably wrought up for
being taken for fool, without amy warn
ing, gave the waiter such a slap in the
that the 2o-frane piece given him
fell cut OF his mouth and rolled across
and ~purposely forgot to tip the waiter,
who had received quite o setback by the
Sstriking argument Of the guest

MARY FEENEY'S Cash
The Famous Lyndhurst
Scandal Case Settled
for $500.

Hoboken.
HUSBAND AND WIFE AT PEACE

The case of Mary Feeney against Vic
tor Z. Downer. the Lyndhurst Church
man. has been settled. Downer has
come down handsomely with cash, and
Miss Feeney has withdrawn her suit
frons' court. The case has been pending
for a year, and there has been much
sympathy for the young woman.
Mary Feeney became motherless when
very young, and her father placed her in
an institution for homeless children in
New York, where she was reared. At
the age of seventeen she stepped forth
into the world a modest, ~virtuous, we'll
behaved girl, bent upon earning her own
living.
EMPLOYED BY DowNER.
The first position that offered itself
was in the home of Downer, in Lynd-
hurst. The story of Mary's experience
with Downer, who was a pillar of the
church and a staunch temperance ad-
vocate is familiar to the readers of THE
News" -Four years after her advent
into the house she left, not because of
any dissatisfaction upon the part of Mrs.
Downer, but because she was in a deli
cate condition, and she wished to con-
ceal the fact from her mistress. She
called upo Downer in New York. She
told him he was responsible for her
trouble and begged him to provide her
with money that she might hide her
shame. Twenty-Five dollars was all she
asked for, and she told DoWner that for
$50 she could have the child adopted.
Downer, she alleges, sent her away with
a contemptuous, wave of the han Mary
PEELED to ask for help. 1t was only when
driven to it by intense suffering the girl
caused DoWner's arrest.

Yesterday Mary received a note to call

had threatened to 60 to Lyndhurst and

THE MARRIAGE FEE.
The Clergyman Is often Disappointed
What the Duke viii 30.

The question as to how much to pay
the preacher who pronounces the mar
riage ceremony is one that has more or
less disturbed nearly every man whose
sensibilities are not blunted, and who
has tremblingly held a trembling hand
before the altar and promised TO love
and cherish. 1t is one whl>.h is nov

ninth Duke of Marlborough. n Tor,

not looking for a check that Will have
the dimensions Of a handcome fortune,
dover will be expected to sustain some
thing like harmony. If they do, the
magnificent John Churchill estate will
have to be m~ortgaged, or else the prloe
will pay the fee by proxy. ~
In striking contrast with what the
preacher in the case probably expects IS
what an expectant Presbyterian preacher
in Norristown, Pa, received a few lays
ago. This particular preacher performed
the marriage ceremony for a couple Who

some tight fsted Benedict ha5 doled

Many a faithful country preacher has
taken long, cold and tediou rides
through the mud or sonw to %pronog 1ets
