LARGE EGGS TO ORDER.
How they Were Made by an Ingenious
Woman.

Woman.
A unique salad was invented some
years ago by an ingenious woman. 1t
consisted Of slices of hard boiled egg
at least four inches in diameter served
on lettuce leaves. No egg, says the
Galveston News, but an ostrich egg,
was ever SO large, but the secret lay in
the fact that it was a composite egg.
Two bags of flannel were made, one
round and the other oval, the round
one being much the smaller. Into the
round one was dropped at once the
yolks of eight eggs, nearly filling the
bag. After the yolks were boiled hard
they were left until cool, and then the
flannel was cut off. The whites of the
eggs were put into the oval bag and
the ball of yolks carefully slipped in
to them. When the whites had
cooked and cooled the second bag was
cut away. Experimenting was neces-
sary to find the right size of the bags
for the number of eggs and the proper
tionate size for the yolk alone and
the entire egg. 1t was another nice
point to allow for the second boiling
of the yolks without getting them too
hard and to locate the yolks in the
middle OF the whites. This was most
satisfactorily accomplished by putting
half OF the whites into the bag. then
dropping in the yolks and finishing
with the rest Of the whites. The
buoyancy of the whites maintained the
position of the yolk Afterward the
inventor of the mammoth egg had two
light tin cases made of the proper
shape and dimensions, but there is nc
record of her having obtained a patent
on her device.

A Brides Farewell Song.

A subscriber wants TO know if there
is any song published what would be
appropriate for girl to sing ON her
wedding day. 1t must be sort of
farewell to parents, family and friends.
Also a nightingale song of girl and
her soldier lover. Answer: There is
an old and pathetic song called "The
Brides Farewell" Perhaps some
Ledger readers can give the words.
Almost all such old songs are out of
print. They may sometimes be found
in old collections, or the words NAV he
preserved in scrap books.

would be right to pay the money,

A report from Anderson, Indiana,
says: The eastern part of the county
has been overrun with rats during the
past six months. Thousands Of them
have colonized over a radius OF six
or seven miles. The farmers have
been fighting them in every way pos
sible but they continue to multiply
and are taking everything in sight
The stories of the numbers that go in
droyes have been discredited by An
derson and Muncie people and, in or
der to prove their assertions, the
farmers took several out to one of
their rat drives" recently. One of
the records that was made was TWEEN
ty-four rats by Superintendent Heaggy
of the poor farm, who only discharged
his gun four times. Several other
records have been made at other times.
. They are costing the farmers many
hundred dollars by underminging
wheat bins and burrowing into build
ings of all kinds. No theory has been
advanced which will satisfactorily ex-
plain where they came from, as this
section has been remarkably free from
rats in previous years.
A report from Vienna, Austria, says
that the Hungarian government has
purchased the race horse Galtee More
for EGO, 900 (s1OO,O00). Galtee More is
three-year-old, bred by Mr.. John Cub
bins, well-known Irish sportman.
The animal was the first Irish horse
to win the Derby. and is one of the
seven horses that have won the So
called triple classic crown Of the Eng
lish turf-viz.. the 1000 guineas at
Newmarket, the EPSON Derby and the
Doncaster st. Leger. He Is regarded
~ the best judges as one OF the best
sorses OF the century.

REPLY TO sHERMAN's LETTER.


Curxon Tells the British House OF Com.
mons About SEALS.
London. July 20.-In the commons yes.
terday Curxon made q statement that
must be considered a reply to the impu-
tations made in Secretary Sherman'slet-
ter Of bad faith on the part of Great
Britain regarding the seals. Curxon
said that two British gunboats patroled
Behring sea in 1895. three in 1895 and two
this year. The Americans had no gun.
boats. but used revenue cutters, five to
six OF them each year. The agreement
made in 1894 forbade the use Of firearms
by British eealers in the Behring sea.
but it was found in practical experience
that these prohibits were not effective
in protecting the sealers from unneces.
sary interference. and in 1896 the gov.
eminent decided not to renew the agree
ment.
The regulations under the Paris award
did not contain, said Curzon, a provision
forbidding sealers to be in the possession
OF arms. but arrangements were made
by which eealers clearing direct from
British Columbia were furnished with
certificates that they had no firearms
on board. while for vessels on the Aeiatic
side arrangements were made whereby
they deposited their arms at some rem.
devious before entering the sea- The de-
lay in the completion OF Professor
Themson's report was due partly to his
professional duties and partly to the
necessity Of awaiting the arrival OF GER
tain notes and information which he had
asked Mr.. Macoun. the Dominion agent.
to furnish him. Cursor Described the

Bailey Charges McMillin with Voting
Against Free Wool.
The debate ran along until late in the
afternoon and the speeches ran along
also. During the night session. jus.
before the close Of Ra,ley's remarks
the most sensational incident OF the
debate occurred. He had been assaiiing
the doctrine Of free raw materials as q
comparative innovation in the Demo-
cratic creed. In order to demonstrate
that 1t was a product of Clevelandism
he sent to the clerks desk and had
read an extract from a newspaper COM
menting on the fact that in the Forty
ninth congress Mills, then q member
Of the house. McMillin Of Tennessee
and two other Democratic members Of
the ways and means committee had
voted against free wool. McMillin
jumped to his feet and demanded to
know whether it was charged that he
had voted against free wool.
William f. Morrison told me so with
his own lips" replied Bailey. facing
McMillin. whose face was flushed. Mot
only that. but he said both you and
Senator Mills voted against some re-
auctions in the metal schedule"
"Since the gentleman has seen Mt to
attack my record and to misrepresent
Michigan McMillin. but Bailey quick
~ disclaimed any purpose Of attacking
him. Il desire to commend your action
then" said he. The disclaimer being ac-
eepted McAillin hotly asked in turn why
Bailey had voted in the ways and means
committee against the wooden schedule
OF the present law,when 1t was offered
as q substitute for the high rates in the
pending measure. A wave of applause
rang over the Democratic side at this
question. but 1t was drowned in q DER.

For more than two months the police of
this city have been in possession OF in
formation which II true-and the CIR
cumstances indicate that 1t is-wir save
the life Of Adolph Luetgert. now in Jail
in Chicago charged with the murder of
his wife on May 1. That Mrs. Luetgert
was in the city on May there a appar.
emily conclusive evidence. A. w, C..
0rotty formerly lived in Chicago. He
was well acquainted with Mrs Luetgert.
In fact he knew her as Louise Bick-
nese long before she became the wife of
Luetgert. On May Z Mr.. Grotty. &C.
companied by Richard L. Shulhof and
Rudolph Shintzky. went to Cooks ticket
agency on Broadway. 1t was between
10 and IL o'clock in the forenoon. As
Grotty re5oined his companions on the
sidewalk two women approached, one of
whom he recognized as Mrs. LuetRert.
He asked her when she came to the city
and she replied that she just arrived.
Grotty Tells . Straight Story.
Grotty then introduced her to Schulz
hof and Shintzky. Grotty. who was then
a guest at the Broadway Central hotel,
invited him to dine with him. She de-
clined on the ground that she was about
to leave New York. He noticed that she
appeared somewhat excited. but paid no
great attention to 1t. He told her that
since he had last seen her in Chicaeo ne
had married and expected his wife here
soon. when he would be very glad to
have Mrs. Luetgert call. They parted
and Grotty thought no more OF the mat
ter until day or two later when he was
astounded to read the shocking details
OF the supposed murder Of Mrs. Luef-
gert"in Chicago. Schulhof says ne re-
calls the meeting on Broadway and in
that respect can confirm all Grotty has
said.
No Record on the Register.
Nevertheless he did not want to get
mixed up In the matter. His busy sea-
son was of short duration, and IL was
possible that he might be called as q
witness and detained in Chicago for
weeks at a great personal loss. Still
it would be his duty, as the life of
human being was in danger. to give
any evidence he might have to clear q
man he believed innocent. At the Occi-
DENTAL hotel Broome street and the
Bowery. the register fails to show that
anybody by the name of Luetgert from
Chicago registered there during the
first ten days Of May. Still Il IL quite
possible that the woman would give q
false name and address. At FaIck q
Company's agency. on the Bowery, the
books show that on May tickets to
Hamburg on the Palatia were sold Mr..
and Mrs. Emil Bruckner. 1t WIN be
noticed that the last name II not unlike
the maiden name Of Mrs. Luetgert.
