white fish is in the liver; such fish is
dry and needs good deal of fiavoring
and dressing. Clean off any scale, then
remove any bit of liver or sound. Scrape
by holding the knife slanting not straight
then the scales will not fly about. Dip
the knife in water to remove the scales
while working. Do not use pieces Of old
linen for washing fish but save scraps of
new cotton which may be used and
thrown away. Wipe the fish clean with
wet cloth.
A stutfing is something put into fish or
meat and dressing is poured over. Do
not use herbs in d ish stuffing; herbs are
suitable for veal or pork stuffing but
fish needs an acid. Use cup of cracker
crumbs and tablespoonful each of
onion and chopped pickles and either a
tablespoonful of capers, olives, or pars-
ley. Onion alone may be used. Rub
the inside of the fish with salt. Moisten
the crumbs with one-thlrd cup of melted
butter mixing it with fork. Add no
water. Sew up the fish with coarse
white thread instead of Irvine; sew up
the fish before stuffing. 1.-THE stuffing
into the top, shake it down, draw the
gills close to the body, then put in a lit
tie more stutfing. Put the fish into a
large dripping pan aud If convenient a
fish sheet is useful as it makes it possible
to take up the baked fish without break
ing it.
Ii no sheet is at hand use two or three
strips of cotton cloth laid across the pan
having first wrung them from water.
Set the fish in the pan with the back on
the upper side then skewer it into the
shape of the letter IS using skewers and
string.
Cash with knife once in two inches
to the bone ON each side and In these
gashes put small bits of salt pork. For
fish weighing five or six pounds use
quarter of pound of pork. Use the
fat in the pan for basting; no water is
needed in the pan. If all the pork is
not used in the gashes lay the remain
der around in the pan. Rub the outside
of the fish with salt and pepper if liked.
Put little melted butter. on the fish
and then dredge with flour Bake 40
minutes to an hour; it is somewhat diff
cult to brown fish we'll.

These Are the Latest.

Celery dishes are low and fiat and of
cut glass.
English chop dishes are round, in
stead of the usual oval shape.
Bouillon cups of crystal or porcelain
are low and flat, with fluted covers.
Low shapes prevail in fruit dishes
They are of filigree silver or painted
porcelain.
Salad bowls either match the service
or are of cut or silver trimmed Bohe-
milan glass.
Coffee cups are of the low English pat
tern, or high and slender and set upon
a gided or fligree base.
The rococo porcelain, with It's excess
sive decoration, is relegated to occa-
sions of great elegance, as it is very ex-
pensive.
Among pretty odds and ends are lit
tie plates for bread and butter, bone
dishes in half-moon shapes, asparagus
plates, etc.
Both goblets and tumblers are used;
cut and engraved glass and the gilded
French baccarat are all in vogue; wine
glasses match in style.
The latest dish to receive the favor of
society is Welsh rarebit spread over
mince pie. 1t is question whether the
devotees of this dish will live to sing
it's praises. AS an encourager Of ~indl-
gestion and nightmare it surely cannot
be improved. 1t is supposed to be
served at informal late suppers.
The latest blotter is novel and funny
enough to serve as Christmas present.
1t consists of four small sheets of blot
ting paper, square in shape, and covered
with stiff sheet Of water color paper.
On the cover are fastened two brownies.
One is a dude and the other is a brownie
dressed in crepe paper skirts They are
arm in arm and the dude is shetering
the girl brownie under a brown paper
umbrella. Written in gilt across the
cover are the ords: "Tis sunshiny
weather when we are together"
The latest umbrella handle is long
and narrow in shape 1t is made of
dark blue enamel, wrought with gold
tracery, and with the owners monog ram
worked skilfully in the design,
The latest writing paper is known AS
the Castlian Rose 1t is salmon pink
color. The monogram in gold is it's
decoration. When this is not used the
address is printed in black.

inexpensive Beauties.
Lake Helen, Fla.


Very cute little dolls may be bought
for five cents and there are very few
people who have not pieces with which
to dress these dolls. Try to make them
very attractive, and let each one have
two gowns. "Colored gem men" dolls
can be constructed from pieces of black
goods and fancifully dressed from the
piece bag. The only cost need be some
Asiatic embroidery silk for stitching
jacket, trousers, etc.
Fancy balls may be made by winding
rags around round cork and covering
the bali thus made by crocheted cover,
made from bright wools or even using
bits of bright-colored flannel, scanning
together and feather-sttchi hing the seams
with bright silks or woods. These balls
will be welcomed in all sizes from that
of walnut to one as big as baby's head.
Rubber balls costing five cents may have
crochet covers and be very pretty.
Little work baskets may be made from
strawberry boxes, covered with a shirring
of some fancy colOred silkoline or sateen,
These have pockets on the sides and
little books for needles, and a nickle
thimble may be added, if the gift is for
a little miss who would like it, Another
style of work basket that would
scarcely cost more is made of circular
piece Of turkey red cotton or sateen in
pretty color. Two pieces are cut ex-
actlY alike. An octagona, piece is cut
from pasteboard for the bottom of the
basket. This is laid between the two
circular pieces and is stitched around
with the sewing machine Now from
the octagonal sides of the bottom are
stitched sections to the edge of the Cir
cular pieces, bits of pasGeboa are
slipped in these, and the edges of the
two pieces are then over-handed neatly,
The basket is still perfectly flat, buteye-
let holes are worked at the side of each
section, and baby ribbon is run in and
this when drawn up allows the basket to
stand erect. Finish inside with needle
book, pockets for different things, emery
and beeswax. This is convenient to
send by mail, as it can be laid fiat or
rolled in newspaper. The appearance
of the basket is much enhanced by the
addition of a lace frill, but then it could
hardly come under the list of five-cent
gifts.
Silkoline can be made into endless
numbers of pretty things, and yard
will make handkerchief sachets, scrap
bags, tiny table cover, toilet mats, pin
cushions and variety of other things.
You will want Roman floss with which
to outline the designs and vein the flowers
and leaves.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The Chinese Fireworks Display.-Wash-
ingtonians were treated to a real Chinese
exhibition of fireworks Saturday evening at
National Base Ball Park. 1t was not the
American brand of fireworks, but the real
original Chinese article, with it's own flavor
and noise. Nearly three thousand people
journeyed to the park to see the exhibition,
which was under the management of Tuck
Cheong, and participated in entirely by
Cinnamon. The park was darkened, ex-
cept for one light, and the figures of those
who assisted in setting off the set pieces
had weird and ghostly appearance as they
fitted here ard there amidst the smoke
and rain of sparks of fire. The set pieces
were entirely original with the Chinese,
and represented facts and happenings in
China's history. They were. somewhat
dampened by the rain of Friday evening,
hut everything went off nicely, especially
the Chinese frecrackers. Enough of these
were set off to have stocked several stores
for several Fourths Of July, but the supply
seemed never-ending, and as long as the
Cinnamon kept it up the spectators could
stand 1t. Strings from ten to twenty feet
long of all sizes of crackers were set Off
while the end came with an immense string
of the latter length being hauled up to the
top of pole and left to burn itself out
which 1t proceeded to do with great vigor.
Other kinds of fireworks were shown in
plenty, and Catherine wheels, squibs, rock
cts and all kinds of Chinese manufacture
in this line were exhibited. The display
Will be repeated this evening.
The Drum Corps Garden Fete.-The gar
den fete of the j. B. Henderson Drum
Corps, which has been running at the Four
tenth Street Park, closed Saturday even
Ing. 1t was the original intention to bring
the affair to a close Friday, but as the fes-
tivities were stopped that night by the rain,
it was decided to continue it for one night
longer. The attendance, especially of Grand
Army men, was very large Saturday even
ing, and the time was passed very pleas
antly with speeches and social CONVERSE
ton. Corporal Tanner opened the affair
with a short speech, and then Gen. Hen
derson made a brief address, in which he
told the boys how proud he was of them.
The lady managers of the fete are exceed
iEgly thankful to the many who helped
them in this enterprise, and are very much
elated over the success of the garden party.

SENSATIONAL TRIAL.
Case of Mrs. Farrnll, Charged With
Murder.


Mrs. Belle Farrall, the widow of Mr.
Frederick Farrall, who kept hotel at
Hughesville, Charles county, Md. returned
to the county Saturday afternoon after an
absence of several months and delivered
herself to. the custody of Sheriff Albrittain
This was done Saturday for the reason
that the case was set for trial today. When
the Hughesville hotel keeper died and it
was suspected that his wife had used
strychnine she suddenly left Charles
county, and it was supposed that she would
not return unless the officers succeeded
in locating and arresting her. She came to
this city, where she has friends and rela-
uves, and remained fere until the coroner's
nine poisoning. Then, when the officers
went to the house where she had stopped
they learned that she had been gone only
a few hours.
S. E. Mudd were retained to look after the
woman's interests, both criminal and CIVIL
and they promised States Attorney Mat
thews that Mrs. Farrall, who did not want
to remain in Jail several months before her
trial. would appear when the state was
ready.
When an indictment against her was re-
turned it was the intention of the county
commissioners to offer a reward for the
apprehension Of the alleged murderess, but
when counsel promised to have her on
hand when the case was called, the COM
missioners decided to await developments.
Saturday afternoon the promise made to
the states attorney was fulfilled Mrs. Far
rail- reached La Plata in the afternoon and
went to the office of Col. Wilmer. One of
Sheriff Albrittaia's deputies who happen
ed to be in town, was sent for, and he ac-
companied the fair prisoner to Port To-
bacco, where Sheriff Albrittain still has
his headquarters. There Mrs. Farrall re-
manned until this morning, when she was
taken to La Plata. Today's session of the
court is the first session held at the new
county seat.
John H. Mitchell was employed by rela-
tives Of the dead man to assist States At
torney j. S. Matthews in the prosecution.
The case is likely to occupy several days
of the session of the court and persons
from sll parts of the county were in La
Plata this morning. all anxious to get
seat in court in order to hear the case One
of the most important witnesses in the
case is DIR. Edward NJ. Schaefrer of this
city, VINO conducted the autopsy and found
the strychnir in the stomach.

Raid the Division,

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Would it not be we'll for "Detectiye''
Proctor and his superiors to visit the "Di-
VISION" where they will find lots of cause
for arrest of people not only for the abuss
of the Edmunds law, but also for selling
liquor without license? There are per-
haps $50 houses given up to i'll fame, and
there is not one of them who does not Of
fend against the liquor law; in two ways
ie, selling without license, as also sell
ing to minors. The police authorities would
do well to make nightly raid upon these
houses of i'll fame and drive their keepers
and inmates out of the city. 1t is worse
than fostering sore to have such places
so near such a prominent street as Penn
sylvanta avenue. Let all good citizens Join
in this crusade and compel the authorities
to GUST these creatures and break up these
dens of infamy, where young men are cor
rupted. l know that The Evening Star
will assist in this. cause.
