FOOD COLORlNGs.
The Prejudice Against Tinted Creams.
Icings and Other Fanciful Foods.

The Prejudice Against Tinted Creams,
lcings and Other Fanciful Foods.
There exists in the minds Of many
sensible persons prejudice against the
coloring used in fanciful foods, and in
these days Of artistic luncheoDs, when
everything mast match in color, it is
quite. drawback to the hostess to see
her delicate dishes untouched and un.
tasted. while sometimes q privileged
friend will say: mo, thank you, ma
cbere. / don propose being poisoned by
eating dyed creams, gelatins and such
things Yet, as writer in Good
Housekeeping remarks, these same
fiuicky persons will eat box Of
choice CONNECTIONS and devour first the
pink, violet or yellow French cream
sweetmeats that are urtificially colored.
These same critics will likewise take
arsenic, strychDine, mnristic acid aud
other rOisons, prescribed III small doses
by Il physician, and swallow them with
out Il Gualm. But cat cake With violet
frosting or green Ice cream? Never!
No, never!
According to the authority quoted,
the colorirgs in these artistic food ma
terials are used in such homeopathic
doses and infnitesi,nal quantities that,
granted for the sake Of argument they
should rank with poisons, they could
not possibly illjurc one. The coloring
matter used for The frosting Of one large
cake could be pvt upon the point Of a
penknife. The strawberry ice cream
made by first class caterers is not sim
ply colored with the fruit. Oh, no, my
friends, you will remember that the in
side Of nearly all strawberries is white
and would not provide enough coloring
for quantity of cream. So, to give it
that delicate pink that appeals SO
strongly to the artistic eye, small guam
tity of blood red fruit coloring is mixed
with the cream. In fact, all confection-
ers and caterers use the colorings that
many housewives view with horror. :
Small, round, extra fine cookies are
nice for elegant refreshments if frosted
with pink, yellow, green and violet, or
large loaf cake-a pound cake, for ex-
ample-if cut III cubes or oblong strips
and frosted with these delicate tints,
then carelessly piled on plate, is par
ticularly pleasing. A delicious violet
cream may be made of rich vanilla, to
which is added a little sherry and col.
ored with violet coloring. This should
be frozen in mold, turned out on a
plate and studded with candied violets.
Avoid getting the tints too deep, as the
delicate shades are preferable.

local press by Major Cirujeda himself

DEMOCRATIC GAINS OVER THE AU-
 GUST VOTE.
Lawson Carried One Beat-It Is salt That Dr. Grove will File Contest.

Yesterday was one of the quietest days Birmingham has experienced for months.
 The news was too one-sided for the republicans to feel over confident and too sudden for the democrats to acknowledge defeat withou prefixing a doubt as to tht correctness of the reports.
 But little attention was paid to the re- suit in the county and state, as it was very generally conceded by all parties that Alabama was safely democratic, ex- cept perhaps in the Seventh Congresslon- al district, and as there are many rural beats in this district 1t was known no def mite news could be obtained from them within several hours.
 The most striking expressions came from among the supporters of Palmer and Buckner, who openly acknowledged that the race of these men was in the interest of Mckinley.
 The following are unofficial returns as obtained from returning officers.
 MT. Tomson's vote Is not given, as he was virtually not in the race, the con gressional contest being confined to Un- derwOod and Grove.

WILL HAVE NINE DEMOCRATS.


 Alabama, 1t now clearly appears, will have nine democratic members in the next congress. In the First district MT. Taylor has been elected practically with out opposition. In the Second district the Hon. Jess Stallings has administered aa first-cIass defeat to Hon. Thos. H. Clarke, the boIting and republican fusion candidate against him in that district. In the Third district the Hon. H. D. Clay ton has defeated the Hon. G. l.. Conner, the bolting fusion republican candidate in that district.
 In the Fourth MT. Plowman has been elected over Aldrich, middle-of-the-road populist-republican, and F. l.. Dryer, bolting fusion republican. The Fifth dis trict has shown by a good, round, safe majority that it has had enough of Goodwin and sends Hon. Willis Brewer, of Lowndes, to take his place. Col. J. H. Bankhead has won out by a good, com fortable majority in the Sixth. While the returns from the Seventh are not complete it is certain from the returns received from that district that Bullock has been elected over Howard and Curtis by a plurality approximately 250 Gen. Joseph Wheeler has gained sweeping victory in the Eighth district over Hund- ley. Tn this, the Ninth, district the Hon. Oscaha W. Underwood has been elected over Grove and Lawson by a good, round majority.

THANKSGIVING
MIR. CLEVELAND'S LAST PROCLAMATION.
He Names Thursday, the 26th, as the Day "Let the People Forego Their Usual
 Work and Occupation"

Washington, D. C., Nov. 4.-By the
 President of the United States:
 The people of the United States should
 never be unmindful of the gratitude they
 owe the God of nations for His watchful
 care which has shielded them from dire
 disaster and pointed out to them the way of peace and happiness Nor should they
 ever refuse to acknowledge with contrite
 hearts, their proneness to turn away from Gods teachings, and to follow with sinful pride after their own devices. To the end that these thoughts may be quickened, 1t is fitting that on day es- pecialy appointed, we should join togeth- CT in approaching the throne of grace with praise and supplication. Therefore |, Grover Cleveland, Presi- dent of the United States, do hereby designate and set apart Thursday, the 26th day of the present month of No- vember, to be kept and observed as a day of thanksgiving and prayer through out our land.
 On that day let all our people forego their usual work and occupation and as- semble in their places of worship. Let them with one accord render thanks to the Ruler of the universe for our preser- vation as a nation and our deiiver> nee from every threatened danger; for the peace that has dwelt within the year that has passed for the plenteous rewards that have followed the labors of our husbandmen, and for all the other bless ings that have been vouchsafed to us. And let us, through the mediation of Him who has taught us how to pray. im- plore the forgiveness of our sins and a continuation of heavenly favor. Let us not forget on this day of thank Let us not forget on this day of thanks giving the poor and needy; and by deeds of charity let our offerings of praise be made more acceptable in the sight of the Lord.
 Witness my hand and the seal of the United States which have caused to be hereto affixed.
 Done at the city of Washington this 4th day of November, in the year of the Lord 1896, and of the independence of the United States of America 121. GROVER CLEVELAND. By the President, Richard Olney, Sec retary of State.
