THE FRUIT POTPOURRI.
New Home 7ade Sweet That Is The Latest
Fad


A potpourri is the newest craze among
women. 1t is not a rose jar filled with
drying, decaying leaveS-Dut it is big,
lucious jar, filled with various choice
fruits of every season, and preserved by
alcohol.
A lady on the West Side has adopted
the plan of using one gallon glass candy
Jars.
Those who do not care to go to the eX-
pense of buying fancy jars for the pur-
pose, however, can use common fruit
Jars or even crockery ware. Anything
will do which will hold the liquid and
juices as they form over the fruit, and
which can be covered from the dust
The reason this latest bonbon is likely
to prove popular is that one need not be
housekeeper to enjoy the luxury.
Anyone who has a taste for little nice
ties of an experimental nature can start
potpOurri of his own. Even the men
have in some instances taken up the fad
with success.
One pint of pure alcohol-the best to
be had--is considered enough to pre-
serve a gallon of fresh fruits until-well
until they are eaten up. Like wine the
the older they get the better they are. and
they certainly should not be disturbed
until one whole season has elapsed after
they are made. 1t may require some
strength of character to do this, as the
bright layers of strawberries. cherries.
peaches ana so on form a tempting look
ing morsel. After the first year, of
course, the temptation ceases to exist.
One family on the West Side is now en-
joying the making of this years pot
pourri While dining daily off last years
making.
Any kind of fruit is used except ha-
nanas and pears, which are considered
too soft and mushy. Fruit is selected
not too ripe, and for fine potpourri
not a Speckled or pitted berry of anv
kind should be allowed to go into the
jar. The fruits are taken in season, and
added as they come on.
strawberries being among the earliest
and best for the purpose often form the
first layer. For gallon jar two quarts
OF berries are used, as they shrink ma
terially. After they have been picked
carefully and washed and drained they
are mixed lightly with an equal amount
of granulated sugar. For all the fruits
the same amount~of sugar as oflihe first
fruit is used. The berries are then poured
into the jar containing the pint of al
cohol
After two weeks the fumes of the al
cohol have permeated the mass, the su-
gar has sunk to the bottom, and is slow
ly dissolving. One by one the strawber-
ries drift to the bottom and the Juice
rises.
Pineapple sliced in fantastic shapes
may be the next layer. This is delicious

to wonderful degree.

For your Protection. Catarrh "Cures" or

For your Protection -Catarrh "Cures" or
Tonics for Catarrh in liquid form to be taken
internally, usually contain either Nj arcury or
Iodide of Potassa, or both, which are injur-
ious if too long taken. Catarrh is local, not
blood disease, caused by sudden change to
cold or damp weather. 1t siartsin the nasal
passages, affecting eyes, ears and throat
Cold in the head causes excessive flow Of
mucus, and, if repeatedly neglected, the re-
suits of catarrh will follow; severe pain in
the head. a roaring sound in the ears, bad
breath, and oftentimes an offensive dis
charge. The remedy should be quick to allay
inflammation and heal the membrane. Ely's

these troubles and contains no mercury

get seedy. Sections of firm peaches are
delicious. as are also ounces and apples.
No more alcohol is added after the
first pint. This preserves the fruits, and
as the juices distil slowly through the
mixture the whole takes on an aromatic
pungent odor delightful alike to the nos
trils and the palate.
From time to time-not too often
the whole is carefully stirred from the
bottom with a large wooden spoon.
The concoction makes a morsel de-
licious for any meal or for any course
during a meal. 1t is an excellent relish
with meats; or makes a delicate sauce
for puddings. The juice adds flavor to
mince pies-Chicago Tribune.

TWENTY-FOUR DEAD.
RESULT OF A PANIC IN A
BALTIMORE THEATER.
Some One Cried Out Fire and the Audi
ence Stampeded for the Doors, Crush
ing Men, Women and Children to Death
Several Fatally Injured.

BALTIMORE, Dec. 2S.-In senseless
panic caused by defective gas burner
and foolish cry of fire, at the old
Front Street theater last night, twen-
ty-four people were killed, two fatally
injured. and ten more seriously hurt.
Up to / o'clock this morning, but four
of the dead had been identified.
Almost all of the victims are of
ton, and many of the injured were
taken to their homes by friends, rem
dering it almost impossible to get
complete list at this time.
The theater, which is probably the
oldest in the city, was filed from pit
to dome with people who had assem-
bled to listen to Hebrew opera, which
has been given in the old house twice
a week for the past month. The
ticket Office receipts show that over
2,700 tickets had been sold when, at
o'clock, the sale of seats was stopped
because there were no more left
General admission tickets were sold,
however, after this, and it was sup
posed that there were at least 5000
people within the walls when the cur
tain went up on the first act. As the
capacity of the house is less than
$500, the density of the crowd may be
imagined.
Ten minutes after the curtain rose,
one of the attendants went up to the
second tier to light a gas jet which ap-
peared to have been extinguished. AS
he turned the cock and applied a
match it was seen that there was no
tip to the burner; The jet was well
down toward the stage on the left
side of tho hnucn IN nloiV1 xyinIxr of 40
greater part of the audience, but as
the glare from it showed against the
wall, some one in the gallery shouted
Sire! Fire! Fire!''
In an instant there was mad
scramble for the door, in which the
whole audience took part. The van
guard of the terror-stricken multitude
reached the entrance on Front street,
pushed on by the bowling, shrieking
mob behind them. There, those in
the foremost rank were compelled to
turn to the right and to the left to
reach the double entrance way, built
in the form of a storm door. Passing
| through these doors, they reached a
flight of steps, leading from each door,
| downward to a landing, from whence
broad stairway of moderate height
| would have carried them into the
| street and to safety.
In less time than it takes to tell it,
| the landing was packed twenty or
thirty deep with the panic-stricken
multitude. and the hundreds behind
them were struggling over them to
reach the street.
When the mass on the landing had
been cleared, the frightened mob in
side were quoted down sufficiently to
enable the police to clear the theater
Then it was found that there had been
no danger and that not soul would
have been injured had the audience
! but remained seated.
The dead are of all ages, from mere
infants to grayhaired men and wo-
men. All were killed or injured in the
terrific crush on the fatal landing, not
a casualty having happened inside the
house, although the crush there was
tremendous.
