A DOG PARTY.

A New York dispatch to the Chicago
Chronicle says: Mrs. ]. j. Gardiner of
Brooklyn gave a swell party Thursday
night in honor of her St. Bernard dog,
Correze. Invitations were in this form
Mrs. Annie Gardiner invites you to a
social gathering to celebrate the birth
day of Correze, to be held at her resi-
dence, 1927 Hancock street, Brooklyn,
on Thursday evening, December 10, 1896,
from to II o'clock"
There were many responses to this
unique invitation. The guests were met
at the door by Correze, who was assisted
in receiving by Juan, pug dog of whom
he is very fond. CorreZe put out his big
brown paw to every one Of his guests
and shook hands with each. The host of
the evening wore his customary fine suit
of yellow and white, which was set off
by a handsome green satin bow, which
ornamented his collar. Juan wore big
yellow ribbon bow in addition to his
usual dress.
The guests filled the parlors, and there
were music and dancing and a supper, in
all of which matters Correze and Juan
took the greatest interest. The big ST.
Bernard gave an exhibition of the many
tricks he could do, including carrying a
basket and drinking beer.

WORLDS LONGEST RAILROAD.

The announcement made in a Euro
pean paper that the section of the Trans
Siberian railway extending from Chelia-
binsk. on the eastern slope of the Ural
mountains. to the Obi river, nearly 900
miles, was opened to traffic on October
27, recalls the fact that this great work
is steadily, if slowly. proceeding toward
completion. 1t is now possible to go from
ST. Petersburg or Moscow to Kolvan,
distance of 1900 miles, without change
of cars, in less than five days. The4an-
nouncement further means that the
greatest military and commercial rail-
way undertaking of modern times is
now in a fair way to be realized. Writers
have instanced in comparison the build
ing Of the Pacific railroad lines in this
country and in Canada. But the Sibe-
rian line is unique in some respects
When completed 1t will be the longest
stretch of railroad track ever laid. The
Canadian Pacific, from Montreal to
Vancouver, is 1900 miles long. whereas
the Siberian railroad. as projected, will
be fully 400 miles of continuous track
Traversing, as it WILL throughout its en-
tire length, Russian territory bordering
upon the possessions of two other en-
pireS, 1t promises to have military pos
sibilities of surprising interest. The eli
matte and engineering conditions under
which much of the work must be done
rank 1t as most remarkable undertake
ing, aside from it's immense cost and the
large number of people employed in the
work.
The Engineering News states that the
estimated cost per mile of work on the
railway varies from Sal, ,725 on the Chel-
iabinsk section, that is already complet-
ed, to s9,397 per mile on the section from
Irkutsk east which includes work on
the Baikal Basin and in the mountains
east of that

NEW YORK, Dec. 1S-Next Friday
there will be many queer Christmas
feastings in this broad land of ours, but
the one that will outrank all others will
be the celebration in the grim gray stone
fortress, that prince of prisons, Sing
Sing. The dull granite walls are ter
ribly thick there, and poor Santa Claus
could not break in If he came armed
with a sleigh full of dynamite bombs.
Sour looking guards with sleek Win
chesters dot the tops of the walls, others
with buging hip pockets swarm over
the grounds, moving slowly and never
seeming to see anything, but seeing ev-
erything. Iron gratings, iron doors,
stone floors, stone walls, everything iron
and stone-small wonder that the holi-
day spirit permeating the rest of the
world has a hard time soaking through
this mass of granite and metal into the
1900 hardened hearts within.
Thieves, murderers, forgers, black
legs, thugs, ruffians, scoundrels, from
the polished society rogue to the male
factor of the slurns from A to y of the
criminal calendar, all huddled together,
jumbled into one mass by the drag net
sweeping hither and thither over the
state, but mostly in the city of New
York. Sing Sings guests are 80 per
cent the product of this city. They are
the cream of the villainy of the metrop
oils, SKINNED by the cold hand of the
law. When they get out-some of them
never will-they will return to the city
and in few months many will be back
again behind the iron and stone.
THREE GREAT GIFTS.
Christmas is not an empty thing to
them, and many are looking forward TO
it with the nervous eagerness of a four
year-old child. True, Santa Claus does
not bring fine gifts there, but he does
make q change in the dreadful routine
of the place, and this is a blessed gift to
the old convict. greater and grander
than jeweled baubles, money or riches.
He does things on Christmas day that
he can do on no other of the 365 days
in the year He eats different food, he
can talk to his fellow men, he can walk
without folding his arms on his chest.
These may seem small blessings, but the
old-timer in Sing Sing appreciates them
at their true worth.
He knows what it is to go day after
day, week after week and month after
month without saying a word to his fell
low men. 1t Is true he communicates
opening the mouth and talking natural
ly. That would mean a. stay in the dark
cell, perhaps on bread and water, and
bad marks, which would deprive him of
shortening his term by good behavior
He uses the lip language, subtle. quiet
but effective. If he is an adept in crime
he can tick out a message by knocking
the hardened ends of his fingers on the

FROG CATCHING FOR MARKET.
Marylanders Do Thriving Business in
Capturing the Batrachians.

Within recent years a large trade has
grown up in Kent county in providing
frogs for market The catching of frogs
for their legs has become business, and
the financial returns are rather hand
some to the few engaged in the industry.
Along the small streams tributary to
the large rivers the big green or mottled
black frogs may be found by the thou
sands under the tufts of flag or coarse
grass. One frog shipper has sent to the
Baltimore market hundreds of frogs
legs each season, and has so increased
the demand by the superior size and fla
vor of the Kent product that he finds it
impossible to meet the requirements of
the trade. uYI.
Frog legs are consumed principally by
the patrons of thep rincipal restaurants.
Frogs, when cooked, are delicate white
meat, and much more tender than fried
chicken, very nourishing and easily di-
gested, and are recommended, when
stewed, as one of the best diets for inval-
ids with dlicate stomachs. Only the
hind legs and quarters are eaten, and
they are sent to the market ready skim
ned and salted for cooking.
The market frog catcher's method of
capturing his game is to secure SMALL
flat-bottomed boat, easy of manage
ment, and in the later afternoon, when
everything is still he noiselessly pushes
his little craft along the shores of the
small creeks and coveS. The bullfrogs,
as they are commonly known, because of
their deep, resonant voices, are found
sitting in shallow pool or in the mud
under tufts of heavy grass or flag. The
novelty and sport of capturing this
willy game are worth row of ten miles
on a hot afternoon. Two and smetimes
three ordinary sized perch hooks are
bound together and baited with red
flannel The hooks are attached to
line of about four feet. and the line is
attached to a long, tough angle rod. APP
preaching the game noiselessly and with
extreme caution, the red fiannl is gen.
tly moved within few inches of the
frogs mouth. AS quick as lightning and
with sharp croak, the frog dashes for
ward and swallows bait, hooks and all.
Then follow as gamy struggles as any
sportsman ever saw with hook and line.
The amateur frog hunter usually pro-
vides himself with cat-and-rat rifle.
the shells loaded with mustard-seed
shot and shoots his game. but this is un-
sportsmanlike and is only popular with
the uninitiated. Mill ponds too, are IA
vorite haunts for the frog. and on clear
night the deep roar of the bullfrog cho-
rus may be heard for more than a mile.
The old-time afore- de-war Kent county
cook has solved the mysteries of the
perfect preparation OF the frog, ana
those who do not know how delicious
frogs legs may be made have many a
dainty dish in store for them After
skinning, the legs should be placed in
cold water for several hours, then placed
on plate and salted. In several hours
more they are ready for cooking. The
legs of medium-sized frogs are prefer
able, as the very large legs are liable to
be coarse in the texture of flesh. The
a " iy,L 10 IL \,
is by frying. but there are other ways
of making dishes of them to please the
palate of the most exacting epicure-

OF course the Christmas dinner was
the leading feature of the day, and the
big land owner was expected to enter
tain all of his tenants and neighbors
from daybreak to midnight. The first
dish to be placed on the table was the
boar's head, and great state and cere-
mony marked this service. Musicians
and trumpeters led the procession, in
which there were huntsmen with long
spears and pages with drawn swords.
Carols were intoned as the procession
moved into the dining room and psalms
were chanted. for in some ingenious way
the old time people connected the boar's
head religiously with the celebration of

BRAVE MAN, BRAVE DEED.
One of Clusters Fighting Soldiers Given a
Medal by Congress.

Theodore W. Goldin, clerk of the cir.
cult court of GAINESVILLE, Wis, has been
presented with a bronze medal inscribed
''The Congress to Private Theodore w.
Goldin Of Troop G, Seventh United
States Cavalry, For Most Distinguished
Calamity at the Little Big Horn River,
Montana, July 26, 1876" General j.
B. Doe, assistant secretary of war, pre-
sented the medal in the name of the
president of the United States.
Colonel Goldin was a private in Gen
eral Clusters fighting Seventh. When
General Repo's command was besieged
by 800 Indians, the wounded soldiers
suffered under the blazing sun from a
terrible thirst. Private Goldin, then a
raw recruit, volunteered with three 9TH
ers to go down the bluff with a big camp
kettle for water. All -four came back,
but the camp kettle, which they dragged
between them, was pierced with bullets.
Had it not been for canteens slung about
their shoulders they would have brought
back no water.
Long ago the other three men were
decorated by congress. Colonel Goldin's
modesty prevented the details of his
achievement from being known, but his
comrades were not content to let him re-
main in the background.

WOULD ABOLISH CONGRESS
New York Business Men Say 1t flinders

There is a movement proposed among
the business men Of New York TO abolish
congress. They insist shat the country
will never recover its prosperity until
lingo agitation ceases and the tariff is
let alone. They say that every session of
congress Injuries the country to the ex-
tent Of hundreds of millions of dollars,
which is directly due to attempts to
make political capital i'll debate and leg
islation.
In the last congress it was the tariff,
a prolonged agitation which unsettled
commercial and industrial affairs and
made it impossible for people to do bust
ness. This time it was first the Armeni-
an question, then Venezuela and then
Cuba, which has destroyed confidence to
such an extent that everybody who has
money locks it up in q safety vault, and
those who haven't any are unable to
