The stiletto is evidently an old heirloom,
and must have been brought from some
foreign country. The handle IS only three
inches long, but is oval and fits in the
fingers of the hand so well that it could
not be easily knocked out. The handle is
of ivory and ornamented brass. The blade
is FIVE and half inches long. Many years
ago it must have had some .engrayings on
it, as there are some traces at present.
The peculiar features Of the stiletto are
three holes cut through the very center of
the blade. The two end holes are ordi-
nary round holes, but the middle one is
rectangular in shape and one inch long.
In this slot is placed a thin brass tongue,
which is intended to carry poison into. a
wound. -:
The club is the oldest weapon ever cap
tured by the police of this city. 1t can do
more than the work of billy or slungshot,
though about the size of those weapons.
When closed it is nine inches long, and
has the appearance of an umbrella handle
with spiked knob on the end of it, The
handle of the club is like an ordinary
straight cane handle. The knob at the
end can be pulled out, and when it is q
iointed brass rod three inches long is re-
yealed. This holds the knob to the handle.
The brass rod is in three parts, and has in
the center sort of double hinge, similar
to those on parasols. This permits an
additional swing to be given to the deadly
knob when it is hurled at some unfortu-
Mates head. From all appearances the
weapon has been used several times, as the

We cannot get ahead too fast with the valley

HACKED TO PIECES.
Brutal Murder of a White Trader Near
Butaritari, I'm the South
Seas.

The bark Helen W. Amy, which arrived
from the Gilbert Group in the South Pacific
on Saturday last, brought the news of the
murder of white traderby native police
man, which seems to have been as unpro-
svoked as it was brutal.
The crime was committed last August.
The murdered man, whose name was
Kansgeser, kept a store about three miles
out from Butaritari.s While standing in
front of his store one evening the police
man ordered him inside, and upon his re-
fusal to comply with the order the native
sprung upon him and with knife cut him
to pieces.
The British Commissioner heard the
case and held the native for murder The
accused and the witnesses on both sides
were sent to Fiji, where the trial has been
very probably held and the murderer
executed.
Since the British protectorate has been
established over the Gilbert Group taxes
have been increased considerably. 1t now
costs trading vessel $500 per annum to
operate among the islands, and any vessel
which does not take out a license must pay
$50 for each landing. A trader has to pay
S25 year for license, and besides thfs
there is polltax of So year.
The Helen W. 4Almy will leave again for
the South Seas about the 18th inst. She
will go in command of Captain Luttrell,
and this voyage will include the Caroline
Islands.

in the kitchens" SAID Mrs. Hinckley, ''but
not without an icechest."
To make this paste she uses two thirds
OF pound of butter, pound OF sifted
flour. half teaspoonful of baking powder,
if desired, and mixes with icewater The
mode of mixing and rolling was shown,
the paste was allowed to rest on ice, and in
due time it was put out of sight and taken
from the oven nicely pulled paste of light
golden brown. In the hollow, made for
the purpose, was placed delicate prepare
ton of mushrooms and oysters, with cream
sauce, the whole proving very palatable
dish.
On the subject of mushrooms, the
demonstration said that cultivated ones take
longer TO cook, those from the fields are
the easiest cooked, but that if it was de-
sired to have mushrooms for show then
French ones should be used.
The course, which was attended by the
majority of the ladies who were present on
the previous Monday, was brought to q
close by the compromising and cooking OF
marmalade pudding, a toothsome dish that
was relished by the class.
Mrs. Hinckley had used California mar
malade, which is very sweet, but she ex-
planned that the proper article to use is
that imported one which is slightly bitter,

HE WOULD NOT SELL,
Max Wasserman Believes in
Holding All His VAL
liable Stock.
1t Is Admitted That There Is No
Criminal Intent on the.
Part ofESloss.

Another day OF letters, of objection to
testimony and of fights between attorneys
in consequence, of stockbooks and assets,
was passed in the Wasserman-Sloss case
before Judge Trout yesterday. Max Was
serman, the plaintiff, was on the stand
most of the day, and the greater part of his
testimony was direct examination: Mr..
Thomas, who epresents Sloss, was given
three-quarters of an hour at cross-examina-
ton toward the latter part of the afternoon.
Lewis Gerstle's letters to Wasserman
were the subject of frequent rows between
the attorneys and much adverse ruling of
the court. The prosecution wanted to
show that Gerstle knew all about the stock
transaction between Wasserman and Sloss,
and that he was referring to it in all the
obscure sentences in his letters to Wasser-
man between 1883 and 1890. Many of these
letters were not admitted by Judge Trout,
but they were submitted all the same:by
Mr.. Dorm, Wasserman's attorney with a
persistence that at times met with success.
One letter which was admitted referred
to the remaining 1000 shares in the Alaska
Commercial Company's stock which Was
serman held after he had donated the 400
shares which have led to all this litigation.
The letter showed that Mr.. Gerstle wanted
to buy the 1000 shares from Wasserman for
$100 apiece, which was then par value.
WasSerman would not sell, however, and
the negotiations came to naught. 1t was
with the idea of showing that II Wasser-
man refused to sell 1000 shares at 800
share he would hardly without some OBJ
ject sell 400 shares at $50 share that this
testimony was introduced.
During the day one material fact was
drawn from the attorneys for Wasserman.
Mr.. Neugues, in arguing some point of
law which had arisen emphatically stated
that Mr.. Wasserman did not charge Mr..
SIoss with actual fraud, perjury, mbezzle-
ment and kindred crimes, but did so only
in legal sense. He did not think that
Mr. Sloss was in personal error regarding
the peculiar transfers, but he insisted there
was true legal fraud. This was something
of an admission, in view OF the fact that
the complaint charges that Sloss willfully
and feloniouslv, fraudulently and errone-
ously holds stock which rightfully belongs
to Wasserman.
Wasserman's testimony on cross-exami-
nation was particularly interesting on one
point. He has what is called .tstrong-
box fortune, or, in other words, his for
tune is all in the papers he has locked in
his box. He need do nothing but clip cou-
pons. He does not sell his stock because
it pays good enough interest as it is, and
he lives on the income from his invest
ments. Having gone that far in cross
examination the defense paused until this
morning.

Julius w. Raphael Says 1t VIII Be

Julius W.. Raphael of the well-known
firm of Raphael Bros. returned froma tour
of the South and East yesterday. He was
constantly on the move for six weeks and
was consequently tired out when he

New Orleans. In the manufacturing CEN

Raphaels manufacture everything they sell

said last night: ::.: -

The dainty dishes that the teacher of

proved She truth of these remarks. The
menu was: Serene de celery SOUP" "vol-

The creme de celery soup is delicious
composition, but it requires watching as
it, in a moment, may catch at the bottom
of the pan and be lost, for soup that has a
flavor of burn to it is the worst thing that
can be laid before any one.
sThere is one thing that wish to i'm

''and that is, the fire in your range, be it

for if you do the one or the other, you will
spoil what you have in the pans. Now to
prevent this soup, or any other pure, from
catching il should be cooked in a double

showing one saucepan that fits in another
half filed with boiling water.
The mystery of this soup was explained
and the members of the class became
deeply interested in the ways of the dem
onstrator. She then explained what in
gradients are necessary to make rough puff
paste for the vol-au-vent and which may be
used for meat pies. This, like other puff
paste, must be made in cool room and
the ingredients should be kept in an ice

MURDER0US WEAPONS,
Two instruments Found in

the Police.
FIRST OF THE KIND KNOWN.
Both Supposed to Have Been
Brought From Sicily by
Assassins.
FIRST OF THE KIND KNOWN.

The police have been unable to learn
anything about the two odd weapons
which were found in the room of Yicenzo
Paimi, alias Parma. the slayer OF Eugenio
de Leva. Officer George Rioruan has been
busy since the Saturday evening murder
trying to subpoena witnesses, but he has
found it hard work. He has made inqui-
ries about the knife and the peculiar club,
but the people of the neighborhood say
they know nothing of such contrivances.
The police believe that Palmi, alias
Parma, is not the only man who carries
poisoned stilettos and miniature cannibal-
island warclubs. The fact that the MUIR
derous weapons were found in PAINTS
room shows him to dangerous character,
and his story that he picked the revolver
out of Leva's pocket and killed him with
his own weapon is no longer believed.
Nothing like the weapons found in
Palmi's room have ever been seen by the
police, and those at the old City Hall sta
ton have had reason to believe they have

horses. Not week passes without at
least two of these occurrences taking place.
Yesterday alone there were five runaway
horses dashing through the street at a
slashing gait. The first horse to get be-
yond control was that of the Brewer Fruit
and Vegetable Company. He overturned
the wagon and scattered vegetables in wild
confusion. A horse attached to cart was
the next to break loose, and before night
fall three more unmanageable delivery
wagon horses rushed through the streets.
Luckily, no one was injured.
