CURED THE MULE.
A Remedy for Baking That Worked

Washington Star reporter when
saw a mule running toward me with a
singletree dangling at his heels. With
great difficulty / succeeded in turning
out of his way and he continued to go
down the mountain at a lively pace.
About a mile further on l saw two
front wheels of spring wagon, and a
short distance away the other wheels
and the wagon box. looked around to

GRACEFUL ATTENTION.

The banquet and reception to the JUS
last evening at the Sutter Club by rep
resentative citizens OF Sacramento was
a graceful and warm compliment from
the Capital City to the supreme tribunal
OF the State. It has been some years
since such a compliment was extended
TO the court on the social side. We re-
call one almost parallel instance some
fifteen years ago or more by the Bar
Association, and we believe that once
since by our people, there has been
something Of the kind. though not in so
elaborate or large way.
Three OF these esteemed Jurists are old
Sacramentans IN whom the city takes
pride. One OF them has his home just
across the river, and the other three are
well known here and have been for
years. The court comes to this city but
twice a year, and its stay is always
short-unhappily we venture to say for
the court and for the people, since we
think that the Capital is the proper place
for all the sessions OF the court, and be-
cause we iatter ourselves that removed
from the hustle and crowd OF metro
polftan life, the Justices would work
with less strain and greater ease, and
that appeals would be fewer If the ap-
pellate court was not quite so convent
entity reached by a congested population.
But Sacramento feels honored by the
presence of the court twice year, and
Il is eIninently proper and commendable
that at reasonably long periods the citi-
zens of the Capital City should testify
their regard for the court and its sew
era1 members by such social compliment
as was extended last night. The affair
was one Of high character, and OF the
gravity that was meet Yet It was not
devoid Of that warm hospitality and
genial welcoming that makes such . re-

Three Timely Recipes.

Rack of Mutton-The part of a sheep
that butchers call the rack, is that part
from which chops, which are to be
"Frenched,'' are taken, and is an excel
lent joint for small family, as it aver
ages only about four pounds. Just be-
fcre putting in the oven, sprinkle with
salt and dredge with flour. The former
draws out little of the juice from the
meat, but the flower absorbs it, and if
the oven is brisk, a crust is formed in
very short time which keeps in the
juices. Cover with paper when brown
and baste through the paper. Meats
that are not carefully basted are never
juicy. 4 If mutton is liked well done, al
low fifteen minutes to the pound, other
wise ten.
Pop Overs-As these are very popu-
lar, it is well to buy cups without han
dies, of strong ware, to bake them in.
Make a batter of a pint of sifted flour,
a pint of milk, half a teaspoonful of salt,
and two eggs, the whites beaten separ-
ately and added last. Butter the cups,
put them in the oven on dripping pan
and let them get sizzling hot, then fill
three-parts full with the batter and
bake half an hour. They should pop
an inch over the cup, have brown crisp
on bottom, top, and sides, and are as
pleasing to the eye as they are to the
palate. Turn out of the cups on a hot
dish and serve with hard sauce. Do
not use any raising but the egg, powder
would spoil them.
A Delicious Turnover-Another dessert
that always elicits a request for the
recipe is right side up" only, when it
IS up side down." and is made as fol-
lows: A pint of -four sifted, with quar-
ter of a teaspoonful of salt, heaping
one of baking powder, and one of gran
ulated sugar, rub into this smartly be-
tween the hands a piece of shortening
the size of an egg, two-thirds butter and
one-third lard; mix with enough sweet
milk to make into soft dough, roll into
a sheet about three-quarters of an inch
thick and line the bottom Of a creased
tin pan such as meats are baked in.
Be careful that the oven Is hot on the
bottom, heap the pastelined pan with
fruit, sugared to taste, and three table
spoonsful of water sprinkled through;
bake about twenty minutes, then hold
over the pan fiat meat platter, turn
quickly, and serve after 1t has cooled
a ULlle. IHe crust SIiouIu pe a 6OiuCii
brown and deliciously crisp as to ex-
terror and fluffy within. A brisk oven
is necessary for success.
If the foregoing recipes are success
fully followed out, the writer will guar
antee that "the family will not be
heard to declare, as they SO often do,
that they are tired of puddings and pies,
and only want fruit. It Is well to re-
member how nourishing such deserts
are-Enily Ford.

Campaign Supper.

The campaign supper and entertainment
given in Union hall Thursday evening by
the ladies of the Universalist ehu CHI was
well attended and succrss in every way
despite cloudy, damp evening.
The hall was hastily decorated with flags
and bunting. Eight tables were set and a
supper served to large number OF visitors
which was good enough for any one.
About $50 the hall was cleared of the
tables and the curtain rose for one scene
entertainment. In the centre Of the stage
was a throne on which was seated Miss
Nettie Wheeler costumed as fair Columbia.
To her 45 young ladies representing the
states of the Union brought their tributes.
Frank Aver as Brother Jonathan conducted
himself like one to the manner born. Miss
Annie Fletcher sang columbia, Gem Of
the Ocean" very acceptably, The enter
tanment was under the direction of Miss
Nellie Brown and considering that only
one rehearsal was held, passed off very
creditably.
Later in the evening dancing was en-
joyed. A pleaSan party was present and
The ladies received numerous congratulate

Electric Road.

The Cheshire bridge is again open for
travel, and the Springfield railway company
is realizing the initial receipts of the enter
prise at the toll gate. The land purchased
of l.. b. Eaton and John Richardson along
the line of the electric road is to be utilized
for building lots. with good prospects that
before the snow flies second time the new
houses will be occupied by Springfield
workmen, who will be taking the electric
cars to and from their business in that hus-
Ting township. Meanwhile, the railway is
going right along; the trolley poles are set
as far as the dry bridge on north Main
street, and the work of stringing wires has
begun. The power plant in Springfield is
all ready for the engine and generator, and
the foundations of the freight depot and
car house are ready for the superstructure
The grading is completed except on the
passenger track into Charlestown, which
will not be done until the rest of the road
is in operation, which is anticipated soon
after October Advocate.

Anxiety Over the Kelley Assignment.

An exchange has the following: 1.-The
announcement of the assignment Of A. F.
& l.. E. Kelley, real estate brokers Of
Minneapolis, MINI, with the fact of the
enormous amount of loans upon which
mortgages were held by the people of
Windham county has been the engrossing
topic of discussion in many Windham
county towns during the week. The
figures at first given were very conserva-
tive, as the people in southern Vermont
held the utmost confidence in the Kelley
brothers and had placed at their disposal
thousands OF dollars from which they ex-
pected to reap harvest Nearly every
person of moderate means in Windham
county has some western investment
through the firm.
The cause Of the assignment is not yet
known to them, although many suppose it
to be speculative investments. Whatever
it is, the news of the assignment was like a
thunderbolt and naturally caused much I'M
easiness on the part of investors. Their
loans, as before stated, are well secured,
and unless the mortgages are overvalued,
it is not clear how they will lose to any ex-
tent. The Brattleboro savings bank trans
ferred considerable amount Of their in
vestments to other western agents some
time ago in anticipation of the present
crisis. The assignee of the Kelley brotherS
is understood to be A. e. Cobb OF Putney'
formerly Of Elizabeth, N. j., and brother
OF ID. P. Cobb Of Brattleboro.
1t is broadly limited that there has been
crookedness in the Kelley management OF
funds placed with them, such as giving
double mortgages, etc.

in pink and green, gold and white. Near
the stage Mr.. Hayes has erected a castle
which Charles Henry has painted SO artisti-
cally that no one who has seen the original
will fail to recognize Blarney Castle. The
view Of the decorations is worth the price
of admission. A slight change in the pro
gram is announced. Supper will be served
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 5
to s, instead OF Tuesday and Thursday.
The festivities Of Wednesday evening will
take place on the lawn. Music, living pic
lures with electric light effects, all will
make the harvest moon festival enjoyable.
Although the prices for admission, sup
per and of the articles to be sold have
been placed at remarkably low figure,
the patrons will find the festival in many
ways superior to the higher priced fairs
heretofore in vogue admission for the
three nights is so cents and for the sup

Socially Bellows Falls promises to be
fully as lively this season as in the past.
There will be whist and receptions and
balls and socials galore. AS to the Column
bian whist club there are all sorts of
rumors. Some say it is alive and others
think it defunct. A lady who was member
last winter was heard to remark recently
that she should not dare to attend meet.
ing OF the club unless personally invited
for fear her presence was not wanted; but
so far as appears on the surface it is the
opinion Of at least a respectable
minority, all talks about disruption or even
dissatisfaction with the management last
season is mere moonshine-talk for talks
sake. There is a strong sentiment in favor
of continuing the club much as heretofore.
Patrick Cudmore and Mrs. Florence
Jones who live in A. N. SWANS tenement
on Westminster street had neighborly
spat last Sunday morning and Cudmore
was brought before Justice Williams Tues
day on charge Of disturbing the peace.
Mrs. Jones story was that Cudmore was
backing his shoes on her stairway and she
ordered him to get off; he refused. She
threw some water on the stairs and began
sweeping them down; he came at her with
stick of wood and she punched him in
the face with broom. He then seized an
axe and threatened to brain her and her
children she held flat iron over his head
and he beat retreat. Cudmore's testi-
mony was that Mrs. Jones threw down two.
or three dippers OF water and in her frenzy
called for an axe. As one was lying near
by he picked it up and said .'herc is one.n
He did not have club or threaten to
brain anyone. The respondent was found
guilty and fined 81 and costs.
