A BOTTOMLESS MEAT PIE.

Mrs. Rorer, the lecturer, does not ap-
prove of pie, but nevertheless she tells
us how to make some good ones. In
recent lecture she said, ''What peo-
pie want with pies can't understand.
America is the only country where
pies are made. The Germans even
have no word for pie, and no other
nation except the American could eat
pie and live.
"However, we will make regular
English meat pie, with no bottom
crust. Cut one joint Of cold meat
into one-inch blocks and two large
potatoes into dice. Have measured
tablespoonful OF chopped parsley, q
a teaspoonful Of salt, quarter tea
spoonful Of pepper, the same Of cell
cry seed, and a teaspoonful of onion
juice. Put layer of meat. into a
rather deep piepan, then one Of pota-
toes; and distribute some of the pars-
ley, pepper, salt and celery seed
through the layers. Build the pie up
in this way until all the ingredients
are used.
Put teaspoonful of butter over
the top, add half pint OF stock,
| water poor substitute, and put on
your top crust, which must be role 4
out rather thin and have an opening
In the top 80 that the steam can es-
cape. Glaze this with egg, to which
teaspoonful of warm water has been
| added, and it will give your pie that
rich brown color which all meat pies
should have. This is delicious dish
for luncheon.

HAZINC AT WEST POINT.
Cadet Rand Receives Sentence That
Nav Stop the Custom.

According to Information received at the
War Department, hazing at the West Point
Military Academy has received heavy blow.
The court martial which tried Cadet Elliott
II. Rand for compelling "Plebes" Harris and
Neelv to stand on their toes, reached YER
diet Saturday afternoon. 1t sentenced Rand
to one wears confinement, with a depriva-
ton of all privileges, including the three
month lurlough next year. After the ca
diets return TO barracks Rand will also be
Obliged to walk tour Of guard duty every
Saturday afternoon. while the rest Of the
cadets are at liberty.
Rand's severe sentence has struck terror
into the hearts ofall the would-be hazers. The
evidence did not directly connect him with
the hazinc of the two "plebes," and he made
a strong defense to substantiate his denial
His sentence may also interfere with his
class standing. He is at present at the head
of his class, but the hazing episode will seri-
only mar a hitherto unblemished record.

PRELIMINARY HEARING.
Fond du Lac Chinaman Accused of Grim
inal Assault on a Girl.

Fond du Lac, Wis, Feb. 27.-[Special.l
-Che preliminary examination OF the
Chinaman arrested on a charge OF as
sault on Olga Holman was held in the
municipal court this morning at ~
o'clock. There was a large crowd OF
people on the street as the China man
was taken to the courtroom and threats
were made against him, but no effort
was made to take him from the officers.
When the court had been IN session
about fifteen minutes the mother OF
the girl became hysterical and
had to be taken home in a carriage. 1t
is feared that her reason has been i'm
paired as a result. The testimony Went
to show that the Celestial had committed
a graver offense than at first supposed
and the charge will in all probability be
changed to a more serious one. NO one
was allowed in the courtroom except
those who had business there. N. w.
Cow, Chinese attorney from Chlcago,
was there to act for the prisoner. Ihe
people when they heard of the condition
of the mother became much excited ana
threats were made on every hand against
the Chinaman.
Word was received here today from
Oshkosh that the iceboat race tor the
Evening Wisconsin trophy will take
place there tomorrow if the weather IS
favorable

IMPROVED FISHWAYS.
Scheme Whereby Millmen and
Others Need Not Tear Up
Their Dams.

Madison. Wis, Feb. 26.-[Special.l-
The state fish commission is in session
today considering applications for the
exempting of dams from the operation
of the fishway law. The law goes into
effect March 1, and all dam owners not
having a certificate of exemption on that
day will be liable to a fine of So per day
for the time the dams are without the
fshway.
The commission has adopted plans
of an improved fishway, which has been
tested for several years and is pro-
nounced by experts the most satisfac-
/, tory in use. The cost is not to exceed
$3.50. The section which authorizes the
release of dam owners from the opera
ton of the act is as follows:
'The state board of fish commission
ers, by certificate issued under seal of
the board, directed to the owner, occu-
pier or user or person in charge OF any
dam mentioned in this act, shall have
power to suspend the operation of this
act with respect to such dam or dams
if it shall appear to the said board OF
fish commissioners that the said fshWay
or fshways is or are not necessary to
the free passage of fish, or that there
are no fish in the stream over which
the state has exercised any protecting
jurisdiction"
The plans of the fshways are explained
as follows:
The materials are pine, poplar, oak,
or any other durable wood. The ladder
should be four feet wide, and it's length
according to the height Of the dam
being about four feet long for every
foot in height of dam above the water
below. This gives rise of one foot in
four feet, and will allow any fish to
easily surmount the dam if the ladder
is made according to the specifications.
The ladder shown in the cut is 30 feet
long and surmounts an S-foot dam.
The commission has about 100 appli-
cations for exemptions from the act and
will be in session several days. 1t is
probable that committee of the COM
mission will visit all dams petitioning
for exemption and make report on the
condition of affairs with recommends
ton that petition be or be not granted.

CUT THE ALLOWANCE.
Manufacturers Of Fox River Valley
Hold Conference at APP
pIeton.

Appleton, Wis, Feb. 26.-ESpeciall i
Manufacturers of the Fox river valley
held a conference today, the result of
which was an agreement to curtail the
amount of water drawn for power pur-
poses to $4,000 feet per minute. They
had been using 10000 feet, but the water
having fallen to seventeen inches below
the crest of Menasha dam or within one
inch of the limit esta blished by the gov
eminent it was decided to make reduc-
tions.
There is no snow on the ground and
no prospect of rain, and hence no pros
pect for a rise in the level of Lake Win
nebago. This situation makes necessary
either a curtailment of power or a total
shut down in the near future, and the
former alternative was chosen. This
action is purely voluntary on the part of
manufacturers without orders or sugges-
ton from the government, and goes into
effect at once

commissioner of fine arts for Italy for
