Pumpkin Pie.
Cheese,

The modern dinner table in the home
is always attractive to look upon. The
dishes may not be of the finest, nor all
of the silver solid, but the china will be
clean and free from the suspicion of
chip or crack, while the knives, forks
and spoons will he as bright us polish
ing can make them. The well-laid ta-
BILE is fully equipped before the dinner
is served. At each plate is found the
individual silver for the meal. n soup
spoon, 4 dinner knife and fork, an cx-
ira fork for the salad, etc. The table
should never be crowded. and the
chairs not placed too close together.
When there arc no servants the din
ncr, obviously, cannot be quite so elc-
CANT as where their assistance Gun be
commanded, still with foretllought and
proper managing, there may be more
rcpose Mt such IL meal than is usually
found. One member of the family may
be delegated to attend to any duty
that requires leaving the table. With
the table properly set and the food
placed thereon. rising from the table is
reduced to a minimum.

critics who said that one girl appeared
too often. but they must admit the
artist is continually giving them more

cents an hour. and is better than the
average dude, for ordinary occasions.

a Grow Creek agency Sioux, has been
bound over here to appear before the
next federal grand jury to answer to
the charge of criminal assault, which
can, under the statutes, be punished by
death IL deemed bsst. The testimony
drawn out at the preliminary examina-

upon Seeing Stone. A squaw named
Handsome Women, the complainant in
the case, is the wife of Seeing stones

while she was visiting her slster-in-law,
Seeing Stone gave her a little bnckskin
pouch containing powder, which he In
structed her to place in the coffee and

killing him. She refused and gave the
poison away. IT is still said to be pro-
durable and may play a part in sending

Her Builders Congratulated by the

Secretary Herbert today sent telegram
to the Herreshoffs congratulating them on
the success of torpedo boat No. on her
recent trial. Commodore Dewey, president
of the trial beard, has returned to this
city, and in an interview with the Secre-
tary spoke most enthusiastically Of the
new flyer, which he regards as phenom-
enon. He says she glides through the wa
ter without disturbance and no vibration,
with her nose in the air, at such high
speed as to be almost a freak in nava,.
construction. Secretary Herbert has calleu
for the formal report of the trial board at
the earliest possible moment, IN order TO
have a basis for the formal acceptance of
the craft, which he desires to bring 20
Washington, in order that she may be seen
by members of Congress. He has ordered
that the Gushing, now at Newport, be
sent 10 Norfolk, where she will be laid up
for some repairs. Meantime her crew will
be sent back by rail to Newport, and will
mont will be in command. The few things
necessary to be done to complete the boat
according to contract can, 1t is thought, be
finished by the time the Cushing's crew
returns from Norfolk. Mr.. Malster of the
Columbian iron works at Baltimore has
been at the Navy Department arranging
Tor the trial of one or more of the torpedo
boats, Nos. 2, 3, 4, which are almost COM
pieted- He wishes the trial to be on the
Chesapeake bay, and the department will
