THE TABLE.
Some Dishes That Are Truly Palatable,
Yet Easily Prepared.

Veal Roast With Tomatoes
q fresh, tender roast of veal, lard it
well, salt and pepper it and dredge
with -four Oh both sides. Lay it in a
baking pan with not water enough to
nearly cover it, and roast fer 81 hour,
basting with the gravy every ten Or
fifteen minutes. Then turn on the
other side, AID to the roast add q quart
of peeled and mashed tomatoes, two
or three onions choFped fine, two
sprigs of persley chopped fine and
black pepper. Pour this mixture over
the top and haste for another hour
every ten minutes, adding boiling
water as needed. Serve hot with its
own gravy, which is to be eaten with
rice cooked dry.
Deviled Lobster.-Chop the meat
finely of a boiled lobster, after remov-
ing the obnoxious portion, keeping the
coral by itself. Season the minced
meatwith cayenne, mustard and some
favorite sauce pungent in quality, salt
and stir all we'll together. Mix the
coral smooth with strong vinegar till
of a creamy consistency. Put the
meat into a granite stew pan, with
sufficient water to prevent burning
]
butter and the prepared coral. When
it all bOils up remove from the fire.
| Swilled Eggs.-Boil one dozen eggs
hard, cut same lengthwise in halves,
slicing a bit off the bottom to make
them stand. Extract the yolks, rub
to a smooth paste with a little butter,
melted, cayenne pepper, a little mus
! tard and a dash Of vinegar. Fiji the
! followed whites with this paste. Crop
crosses, season with pepper, salt, VIM
egar and sugar. Spread same about
! two inches thick on a platter and lay
! the eggs thereon in rotation. Can use

BAD JOB FOR THE CAT.

A pet cat in a suburban electric

the other day to jump through one
of the large dy-wheels Of the plant,
while it was revolving at the rate of

A prosperous New Yorker who passed
the summer at AsheVille has brought
back good story of his own careless
ness and southern confidence in human
nature. He is an absent-minded per-
son, who often takes thought of i'm

reached the Asheville station on his re-

purse. There was not a moment to

PRESIDENTIAL YEAR FORAGERS
Garfeld's Neighhors Sailed His Or
chard to Try to Save His Apples.

THE experience OF the good citizens
OF Canton, Ohio, and of Major McKin-
ley in this campaign remind me very
much of similar experience in the
little village of Mentor in 1880. when
General Garfield was the republican
candidate for the presidency" said a
lady after reading in the Sun of Sun

their home and all the devastation
wrought oy the bands of relic hunters
OF which the delegations were mostly
composed. The two railroads which
pass through Mentor cut the Garfield

ON the farm for the accommodation of
pilgrims. Day after day the train
would drop off hundreds and fire.

who were bound to see the candidate.
1t was not long before the little path
from the railroad stations became a
broad thorOughfare entirely denuded
of vegetation. The relic hunters be-
gan their work Of stealing the flowers
and plants from the flower-beds
When these were all gone the trees
and shrubbery were attacked for SOU
venirs. Then a raid was made ON the
cornfield. First to go was the sweet
corn, which the general had hoped to
have for table use. Then followed
the common field variety as it ma
tured. Sticks and stones were carried
away, and pieces of the fences and the
buildings even were taken. One of
the most popular relics with visitors
was an apple from the Garfield or
chard. Apples were very plentiful
that year, and General Garfield had an
orchard of trees well laden with fruit
Every apple he had was carried off by
his visitors, and | venture to say that

The neighbors Of the general had to
come to his rescue from this invading
army of petty thieves, and they found
a way TO help him when they learned
that the visitors bad turned their at
tention to the orchard. Every night
the neighbors would drive around to
the generals orchard and dump wagon
load upon wagon load of apples be-
meath the trees. 1t did not seem to
matter to the relic hunters that there
was a dozen different varieties of ap-
pies under one tree, and that none OF
them was the sort the tree produced

I'll explain it as we go along in the
hansom,' he added. "The others are
already at Euston."
1t was Ralph's turn to feel faint.
However, Mr.. Porter's subsequent
words were better for him than sal
volatile.
There was another woman in the

that from a Melbourne man who knew
the parties He vowed Ferguson was
married to her eight years ago. That
was what he had to establish, and it's

Chinese Fishers in Trouble.

Ten Cinnamon were arrested
yesterday morning for disobeying
Board of Health regulations by
fishing within prohibited bound
airy.
There are two sides to the story
Fish Inspector Keliipio and other
natives at the fshmarket, say. they
saw the Cinnamon make a haul of
fish at the place mentioned. The
Cinnamon in their turn say they
caught the fish outside the light
house.
At all events they took their
boat around back of where the old
fishmarket used to stand and there
landed. Eight OF the fishermen
had already gone to their home a
short distance away. Three were
left to do the work.
In the meantime Mr.. Keliipio
was hurrying in the direction of
the old fshmarket. On the way
he got two or three police officers
to help him. Together they went.
to where they had seen the boat go
and got there just in time to catch
the men bringing two baskets of
mullet ashore.
They were marched to the police
station while a couple of officers
were sent after the remaining eight
fishermen, only seven of whom
were found. These also were
marched to the police station. The
case will come up in the police
court today.

of the members, but through care

HONOLULU CRICKETERS.
Annual Meeting of the Club Held
Last Night.
Urea @TIrer Auerbach ResIgnS-New
Officers ted-Appropriations
for Grounds.

The Honolulu Cricket Club If
an organization that has stuck
together through thick and thin
ever since its first start several
years ago, and its prosperity has
been the occasion of many favor
able remarks. As a general thing
clubs in the city start out with
great enthusiasm and then gradu-
ally die out. The Honolulu Cricket
Club is not OF that category.
Interest in the meetings has
been manifested from the begin
ming and the one held at the Arl-
ington parlors last night was no
exception to the rule. Twelve of
the most enthusiastic members
were present. Others were kept
away on account Of previous en-
gagements.
The minutes of the previous
meeting were approved. The mem
bers present voted $50 more for
the grounds committee. 1t was
decided that the annual meeting
should be a smoker, the date to be
decided upon later. The smokers
of the Honolulu Cricket Club have
always been of the most successful
nature, and it was upon this ac-
count that it was decided the next
annual meeting should be a smoker.
The most important business of
the evening was the election of
officers. The following were re-
elected NJ. Brasch, president
Thomas Lishman, vice-president
A. Hatfield, captain.
r. Auerbach resigned as secre-
tary and treasurer of the club. ,
Mr.. Auerbach was asked over and
over again to reconsider his action,
but he was firm. He had been
secretary and treasurer of the club
ever since its beginning and had
been the most loyal of members,
at his post through its I
various stages. The club was in a /
prosperous condition and he chose !,
his as his time to resign. A vote
IF thanks for the competent man
ner in which he has done his duty 4
was rendered Mr.. Auerbach at the v
close of the meeting. t
