Taking u Glass of the Liquor Ii IL Whole
Evenings Work.
Although absinth is to q Frcnchmm
what whisky is to an American, he
never dreams of running behind a screen
and swallowing Il glassful in one tre-
mendous effort. There is something al.
most poetic i'll the way a Frcnchman
prepares and partakes of his beverage.
1t always takes two walters to serve
a glass of absinth. Waiter No. l brings
the tray, upon which are q carafe frap-
pc tice water that has been frozen in
the carafe), q tall glass, u tiny tray
piled up with small blocks of sugar and
a queer, fiat, perforated spoon. Waiter
No. 2, who has remained discreetly in
the rear, advances with the bottle OF the
popular stimulunt said to be the de-
struction of SO many French minds and
bodies. After saluting monsieur, the
garcon carefully pours the desired guam
tity into the glass and goes on to serve
some one else.
Then for the first time the French
man shows some signs of interest i'll the
matter. He relinquishes his hold on his
cane, but IL hand only; the other
never deserts the cane. He carefully
places the perforated spoon across the
top Of the glass. On the spoon he bal
ances, with careful nicely, u block of
sugar and gently pours a small quantity
Of ice water over the sugar into the
glass. This done, he nee more grasps
his cane with both hands and apparent
ly forgets all about the beverage before
him. The sugar slowly mclts. drop by
drop, into the glass, through the per-
forations of the spoon. Quite awhile
afterward, sometimes IL half III hour.
tho drinker again shows an interest in
his beverage. He looks to see if the
sugar has all melted; then he remove
the spoon and raises the glass for a sip
of the concoction-only a sip, however
for it is sip by sip that IL Frenchman
consumes his absintll. and Il glass OF it,
including the time passed in the prepa-
ration, takes an entire evening.-Chi-

QUEER LAKE sALAw,k.
Its Waters Grow Warm In Winter, and
Men Can Fish There With Clubs.

M0u N00 Cshu An6r0 WIN OlUU8s
The rich placcrs of Klondike arc not
the only curiosity Of the country travers-
ed by the Yukon. Not far from Dawson
there is in Alaska a really extraordina-
~ lake which vas named Salawik by
its ~discoverer, the Rev. P. Tosi, a mis-
sionary among the savages.
This lake, which is 80 miles long and
about Is miles wide, is perhaps the on
~ II i'll al that extreme northern re-
gion which does O freeze over during
the winter. No communication has been
discovered between it and the sea, new
ertheless ut high water upon the coasts
Of the northern ocean the level of the
lake rises, and it falls again ut low tide.
This sympathy with the sea does not
extend to the point of making Salawik
a salt lake. On the contrary, it's waters
are good to drink. But another Of it's
peculiarities sthat its temperature rises
in winter and falls in summer. When
all the water courses of the neighboring
country r completely frozen over,
Lake Salawik becomes SO warm that it
is really pleasant to battle i'll it,. On tho
other hand, i'll the summer time the
water is extremely cold.
This popularity makes it in the win
ter time u Mecca of fishermen. Tho
abundance of fish in the lake is SO great
that a person can almost catch them
with the hand and can kill large guam
titles with Il club. Here for the miners
is a sourcc OF food supply which they
had not counted upon aud which GER
tainly will contribute to diminish the
cost of living, especially during the
winter, in that inhospitable region. In
an hour Il man cal get enough fish to
supply himself for a month, and of the
very best quality, including salmon
ranging from 20 to so pounds in weight.
1t will not be astonishing if some
fine day we may see upon the shores Of
Lake Salawik OF those fashionable
hotels which are the glory of American
watering places.-Lewiston (Me.) Re-

Marietta, Onlo December 1.-The
plant of the Lubdell Bicycle Rim Com
pany and the Marietta Paint and Color
Company was entirely destroyed by fire
this evening, entailing a loss of some
thing over $4,000, upon which there is
$1S,500 insurance.
The plant was typical fire-trap filled
with sawdust and shavings, and the fire
spread with a rapidity that defied the
department.
The cause is supposed to have been
a hot journal on sanding machine,
which had been giving trouble during
the day.
Large quantities of lumber were de-
stroyed and thousands of rims in all
stages of manufacture.
The plant had orders months ahead
Of its full capacity, and had been run
ming extra time.
About one hundred men are thrown
out of employment.
Mr.. Lobdell is absent from the city,
and it is not known whether the works
will be rebuilt.

Washington, December Consul
Smith, of Victoria, in his report to the
State Department, discusses the subject
of the Klondike gold fields. The adj
vices received at Victoria, he says, indi-
cate that the rush, in 49, to California.
and later to South Africa, will be
eclipsed by the gold seekers headed
for the Yukon in the early months of
1898. Agents from England have been
at Victoria making arrangements fer
5000 or 1900 gold seekers. Merchants
there have secured great supplies OF
outfit goods and the transportation
companies have made arrangements
sufficient to make daily lines between
that port and st. Michaels, Dyea, Ska
quay and Fort Wrangle. The Canadian
authorities have made every possible
arrangement for an all-Canadian route
to the gold fields and are trying to
make it to the interests of miners to
purchase their outfits in Canada. This
is to be done through the tariff laws.
Hon. Clifton Sifton the Canadian Min
lister of the Interior, made a trip to the
Northwest recently, and in an address
intimated that the hundred pounds ex-
emtion now allowed by the Canadian
Government to the miners would be abb
rogated by the first Of January, and
that probably everything not bought in
Canada would have to pay duty. He
declined to give any assurance that the
tax on mining would be reduced or the
alternate claim outrage" be alleviated.
The Consul goes to some extent into
a description of the methods of mining
in Alaska, gathered from people who
have returned from there. One man
told him that he regarded Alaska as
more profitable place for miners to go
than to Canada, owing to the excessive
royalty charged by the Dominion Gov
eminent, which it seems there is no ex-
pectation of having repealed. The
Klondike stratum runs IN the direction
Of Alaska and those men who have in
tetrests in mines there are doing as well
as those in Canada.

WASHINGTON, December 1.-The ex-
act nature of Germany's demands on Hay
ii became known for the first time to-day.
The details came by way of the steamer
from Port Au Prince, which arrived at
New York yesterday and show the de-
mands to be as follows:
Firss.-An indemnity of $4,000 American.

may return to Hayti and there sojourn
without danger of any kind.
Third-A letter to my government in
which you viii express apology for the
proceedings against the German govern
ment in the whole transaction.
Fourth.-That the President of Hayti
shall graciously receive the German
Charge GAffaires at Port Au Prince.
1t was also announced that if indemnity
was not given warship would be sent
or diplomatic relations broken.
Without answering the demands in de-
tail, Hayti asked if Germany by present
ing this demand intended to close the ne
gotiations in the Lueders case and also on
what ground an apology was asked
The money demand was regarded by
Hayti as far less important than the 9TH
er three, which were considered as affect
ing Hayti's honor. The demand that the
President receive Count Schwein gracious
ly was looked upon as involving a deep
humiliation, as it was this official who
had gone before the President and rudely
submitted his demands. 1t was this de
mand which led Hayti to prepare for an
evertuality. Since the foregoing CORE
spondence closed it has become apparent,
according to cable dispatches from Berlin,
that the suggestion as to the sending of
warships has been deferred and that there
is no present purpose to send them.

! JURY 70 TRY EASTMAN
Has Been Secured, and the Taking Of
Evidence Will Begin
Not Later Than Noon To : Day.
Twenty Men in the Panel and the
Lawyers Ready to Make Their
Selections When Court Meets
This Morning Some Loud and
Powerful Oratory.

Special to the Register.
Parsons, w. Va, December 1.-The
long agony is over at last.
A full panel Of twenty telesmen was
obtained in the Eastman case at ten
o'clock tonight. Counsel are comforting
over the matter of striking the jury
and have assured the court that they
will fully prepare their lists tonight
and will strike the jury promptly at
nine o'clock in the morning.
This will be followed by brief opening
ststatements to the jury and then by
noon tomorrow at the furthest the TAX
ing of testimony will begin in one of
the most famous criminal cases in the
annals of West Virginia.
To-day has been an eventful one in
the history Of the case so far. 1t has
witnessed the most spirited and stub
borniy contested part of the proceed
ings and the voice and vigor of the
conflict drew from the streets, hotels,
business houses private dwellings and
everywhere else in town Overwhelming
crowds to the legal battle ground.
The conduct OF the case was not con-
fined on this, the closing day of the
struggle, as far as the selection Of the
jury is concerned, to Mr.. Mccormick
on the one hand and Mr.. Howard on
the other, as heretofore. On the con-
trary, the leading counsel Of
both sides, Messrs. Dayton,
Davis and Howard, for the
the State, and Messrs. Mccormick,
Daily and Arnett for the defense,
fought hand to hand over every inch
of the field
1t was Greek meet Greek and the great
in fever of suppressed excitement.
The town is alive with interest to-
night, and a sigh of general relief has
gone up from everybody that jury has
at last been secured. Tomorrow will
probably witness the arrival Of unpre-
cedented crowds of curiously incline
people who will want to be on hand as
spectators when the trial commences.
Mr.. Mccormick, of counsel for the
defense, captivated the crowds by his
oratory tonight, which Mr.. Davis,
who eloquently answered his tempest
uous speech, characterized as the spirit
IF the storm.
The great debate which followed was
participated in by Davis, Dayton and
Howard for the State, and Daily, Nc
Cormick and Arnett for the defense,
and was the most stirring feature Of
the case so far.
A great many talesmen were exam
ined to-day and great many challenges
from both sides sustained before the
desired number of qualified jurors was
obtained.

Gallipolis, Ohio, December 1.-Two
hundred and fifty patients at the Epi-
leptic Hospital were poisoned by toxic
poison, it is presumed.
DR.. Rutter and his corps of physic-
ians succeeded only after a desperate
fight in checking the outbreak without
a fatality. AS it is some of the patients
are still in a critical condition. DIR.
Rutter is not apprehensive, however.
believing that he will be aole to allay
the evils of the poisoning.
The presumption among the hospital
physicians is that the infection came
from some articles of food eaten by the
patients, and the meteorological depart
ment is making rigid analysis of sam
Piles Of the food cooked during the past
few days. Some think a deleterious
drug was placed in some Of the food
and that with the disruption extant at
the institution over the wholesale dis
charge of employees, has put the institu-
tion in the throes of great excitement.
The poison is similar to that which
happens occasionally from eating ice
cream that has bred toxic acid.
