OLD COLONIAL CUSTOMS.

The fourth lecture to the Colonial
Danes by DR.. Edward Eggleston was
given yesterday in the ball room of the
Wsldorf. The subject was domestic
and Social Life.n DR.. Eggleston spoke
of the evolution of the log house, its
general characteristics, its furnishings
aud the food, drink, dress and amuse-
ments of those who lived in it. Ia
speaking OF the modes of cooking,
DIR. Eggleston stated that cooking by
reflection and roasting in the ashes was
generally adopted, and from this mode
comes hoe cake, the corn meal being
more delicious than when turned on
the ashes to roast and bake. Many
ways of preparing food was learned
from the Indians, and it is stated that
Virginia gentlemen found snake meat
delicious.
Forks were not used, but plenty of
napkins. Meat was placed on boards
and brought to the table, and the
plates were sometimes only blocks of
wood, not always being followed out
in the centre. Statistics show that
in Newark there was factory which
made wooden dishes in the Seven
teenth century. There were dishes of
silver and gold plate among the very
wealthy, bni it was the eiaborately pol
ished pewter which attracted the gen
eral attention to the sterling qualities
Of the housekeeper, but the labor of
this task was never commented upon.
The end of the Colonial was the begin
ning Of the porcelain age, and many
pieces of china appeared in the time of
Charles the Second.
Our forefathers were fond of strong
drink, and the pilgrims were surprised
TO find that water did not have an evil
effect. Beer and strong drinks could
not always be brought from England,
and soon American substitutes follow
ed. When tea and coffee appeared, in
1860, there was great CONSERVATION re-
garding their effects and manner of
brewing. Many amusing incidents oc
Cured, but Benjamin Franklin came
out in his paper strongly in favor of
both. England consumes to-day five
times as much tea as we do, but we use
five times the amount of Coffee" said
Dr. Eggleston.
The clubs in the colonial days were
for social purposes, as much as at pre-
sent. There were st. Georges and St.
Patrck's, and the young people formed
st. Tammany, which was strictly
American club, named for an Indian
and called saint. 1t was purely social
and benevolent, and was celebrated Oh
May by ringing church bells in the
morning and holding reunion in the
evening.
There were frolics and country parties
out-of door excursions, horse racing
and cock fights, and tea gardens, shows
and theatres, at which women wore no
hats and the performance closed at min
O'Clock.
For" said the lecturer, zone virtue
of which we can be proud in our an
cestors was their respect for early
hours"
Funerals during these days were
most expensive. Dinners were re-
quired not only for friends, but the
towuspe ople, and often the substan.
of the poor widow and orphan was dis
tributed in entertainment, There were
three thousand pairs of gloves dis
tributed at the funeral of prominent
man in Boston, and at q Virginian
burial the were four.thousand pounos
of tobacco given away.-New York

Many OF our people do not at oil under
stand the nature Of the dispu over the

rec ntly the whole interior was too little
known to admit Of description Alaska
was, therefore, described az extending 10
land to a distance OF ten marine leagu +
from the coast. UutiI lately nobody sup
posed there could be any doubt about
what this meant. bat lately gold has been

to be Alaska. and immediately the British
claimed the country OF course and set
mp the absurd prete1t that 1.-THE coast
meant the outer edges OF the outer islands,

ARIZONA REDS IN A DUEL,
Pima Indians Fight to the Death
Over a Quarrel Of Their
Ancestors.
The Victor in the Combat Slain BY
the Tribesmen of the Man He
Vanquished.

PHOENIX, ARIz., Dec. 30.-Because of a
love affair, dating back many years. two
Pima Indians - Jose Lewis and Juan
Miguel Antone-are dead, and the authori-
ties of Maricopa County are searching the
reservation at Sacaton, few miles from
here, for their slayers.
Years ago Antonia Lewis loved black
eyed tribal beauty, known among all the
Pimas as "The Song Bird" Among the
.Spaniards she was known as Anita Ma
dronna. Antonia Antoine also sought the
maiden's hand, and although hesitating
between her two lovers. she finally yielded
to the Establishments of Lewis. Antonia
then vowed vengeance. Since that time
the feud has been transmitted from tribe
to tribe, and has grown in bitterness, fre-
quent quarrels and murders resulting.
Last Friday duel with bowie knives
was fought between Jose Lewis and Juan
Miguel Antoine, both lineal descendants OF
the men between whom the quarrel
started. The struggle was long one, the
men gashing each other terribly. Antoine
finally succumbed, and was stabbed to
death. The tribesmen of Lewis started
after the fleeing survivor. whom they
caught and killed.
The authorities are now attempting to
identity the avengers of Antones death,
some of whom may have to pay the pen
alty.

UNVEILED At STOCKTON,
Dedication of the Monument in
Memory Of Engineer
Clarke.
Railroad Men Place Flowers Over the
Grave of Their Former
Associate.

STOCKTON, CAL, Dec. 30.-The monu-
ment erected TO the memory of Engineer
Clarke, who was killed during the strike
of 1894, was unveiled in Rural
Cemetery to-day. 1t was intended to
have the formal acceptance of the
monument attended by considerable cere-
pony, but on account of the fact that all
of the deceased's former associates are
engaged at distant points on the road this
feature was dispensed with. However, a
committee from Leland Stanford Division
No. 2S3, Brotherhood Of Locomotive En-
gineers, came to this city for the purpose
of representing the engineers.
The cloth was drawn from the monu-
ment this afternoon and simple wreaths
placed at its base by those who
had known and respected Sam Clarke
in bis lifetime. The monument is
over six feet in height and is
. solid block OF granite. On one side is in
scfibed the dead engineers name and on
the opposite side the circumstances of his
death on the trestle bridge, near Sacra-
mento, on July u, 1894. On the other
sides appear the words Courage" and
Fidelity"
The monument was built in part with
money raised by popular subscription, and
the railroad contributed the transporta-
ton OF materials and rendered such other
>ssrvlce as was possible. The monument
Nsents handsome appearance, and is
Satisfactory to the visiting committee.

Co. One of the employees, Frank Baker, a
young man OF 26 years of age, was sent up
to the fifth floor of the building to clean
the sKylights, so that more light could en-
ter the store. While working over the
court, which is covered with glass, he lost
his balance and fell to the floor of the
store, distance of eighty feet. He struck
on his head and was instantly killed.
The store was crowded with shoppers at
the time, and the accident caused great
excitement. When the crash of glass was
heard it created much alarm among the
salesgirls, who thought the building was
falling, but when, an instant later, Baker s
body struck the floor directly in front of
one of the counters it created panic; sew
eralwomen tainted and others ran from the
Store.
When the unfortunate man fell his body
struck and broke two of the heavy plush
covered stools in front of the counter. He
was dead when picked up.
