GRANT POST CELEBRATES,

The anniversary Of Grants birthday was
celebrated by u. s. Grant Post IL, of this city.
The program was musical and literary.
Added interest was derived from the pres.
ence Of Department Commander Thomas S.
Hopkins and his staff. Pension Commissioners
Henry Clay Evans, and number of visiting
comrades. Mr.. Evans was drafted into service.
and made a brief speech. He said that he had
come to gton to take charge of an inn
portant function Of the Government. He had
come to do his duty to the old soldiens-to
carry out the law. 1t is not his mission to
send out spies, he said, to see how he might
prevent the granting of pensions, but, so far as
he could, within the law. to grant such PEN
sions as are prescribed by the law.
A tribute to Gen. Grant was made by Com.
rade Joseph Smolinski. member OF Grant
Post. 1t was an eloquent production, and was
greeted with frequent applause. Among other
things advanced by Mr.. Smolinski was the
suggestion that Grants birthday should DO
made National holiday.

DAUGHTERS OF THE REVOLUTION.

PATRIOTIC CONvENTTON.-The Anna
Stickney Chapter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, of North Conway, N. H.,
are arranging for splendid patriotic Conven-
ton to be held at North Conway. All of the
patriotic societies of New England are invited
to participate, to compare and discuss the
various patriotic measures and movements that
they have on hand, and to tell again the stories
of the men and women who achieved the glory
Of Independence for our country. North Con-
way besides being full of historical associations
is beautiful place. Some of the finest speak.
ers of New England will be present, and in
every way it is hoped the Convention will be
enjoyable.
REAL DAUGHTERs."-In Connecticut there
are 81 women who are daughters of soldiers
who fought in the Revolutionary War.
A SOLDIER HERsELF.-AmoDg the little
chapters of the history of our great Revolution
airy War is the brave tale of Deborah Sampson,
who served as private soldier then and con-
Quoted herself so fearlessly and so well that
her sex was not suspected, although it is sup
posed to be an exceedingly timid one. At a
recent meeting of the Bunker Hill Chapter Of
the Daughters, in Boston, there was an account
of her patriotic services given. She was born
in 1850, and was directly descended from Gov.
William Bradford. She was the twelfth in q
family Of IL children. She had little or no
chances for schooling, but by diligent study
managed to fit herself for the position of
teacher, and was engaged in that work when
the war began. She procured mans clothing
aud tried once early in the war to enlist, but
hearing of the cruelty of the Captain of the
company which she was to join, she gave up the
place for awhile. In 1871 she enlisted under
the name of Robert Shirtliffe and was mustered
in at Worcester and marched with the other
recruits to West Point She was in Capt.
Webbs company, Col. Shephard's regiment
and Gen. Patterson's brigade.
She went through many engagements, worked
in the trenches, suffered through the hardships
at Yorktown was wounded several times, and
through it all betrayed no fear, but was firm,
resolute aud enduring. 1t was finally dis
covered that she was woman and she was
sent home, where she donned her skirts again
and lived peaceful life until 1927, when she
died.
Often in the history of the world we come
across accounts of women who were brave in
emergencies, who were inspired by some sud-
den danger, who welded the battle-ax without
fear. but rarely is woman a genuine warrior,
who goes forth in the ranks to fight patiently
and wait day by day for the time of battle as
Deborah Sampson did.

"The weu-Girdied."

The evzones, who took such prominent part
in the fighting last week, are Greeks of the
Greeks. Their designation means "tbe we'll
girdied "-eu, well; zonas girdle. They wear
the Greek National costume in its entirety: A
red skull-cap with black tassel; fancy
jacket, fustinella. or kilt. gathered in peats
at the waist, short cotton drawers, leggings and
red shoes, turned up at toes, and completed
with roset. Wrapped several times around
the waist is a long scarf or sash, in which each
man carries quite an array of knives and pistols.
They are well disciplined, brave, and fanatical
haters of the Turks. The Kings Body guard
is composed of evzones, and they are held in
high esteem by their countrymen. Their fight.
ing shows that they deserve this.

HOUSE SUPPORTED SPEAKER.
Mr.. Reed Invited the Issue on the Appoint
ment OF Committees.

Mr.. Reed Invited the Issue the Appoint
ment of Committees.
Important action was taken by the House on
Monday. May 3. By decisive majority the
policy of Speaker Reed in regard to House
committees was sustained.
There was considerable debate, speech from
Mr.. Bailey on a resolution by Mr.. Lewis, in
which the former deplored the exhibitions Of
dissensions in the Democratic party, and re-
peated statements from the Speaker that the
matter OF appointment Of committees be con-
sidered. Mr. Lewis's resolution was set aside
for a substitute presented by Mr.. Dingley TO
make the issue clear. This read:
ResoTred. That the Speaker be directed TO imne.
diasely appoint the committees of the House.
The House, by q vote of 1874 nays to so yeas,
refused to instruct the Speaker to appoint
committees. Many Democrats, including Mr..
Bailey. the minority leader, voted with the
Republicans.
In the Senate on Monday. in Executive scs-
sion. the Free Homestead bill was taken up.
The bill releases settlers on public lands ac-
qulred from Indians from the payments now
required By law, aud also gives free homes,eads
on such lands not now occupied. An amend
meDt was offered by Mr.. Morgan giving all
public lands not taken up by homestead entry
on Jan. /, $780, to the several States and Terri
tories for educational purposes.
Mr. Morgan's proposition aroused much oppo-
sltion. Ihe debate was eniiyened by sharp ex-
change between Mr.. Tillman Is. c., d. and Mr.
Morgan. Mr.. Tillman advanced down the mid
die aisle until abreast of Mr.. Morgan, and then,
in his characteristic style, with index finger
aimed at the Alabama Senator, began firing a
volley OF questions on the justice of giving all
the Government lands to certain States thus
depriving the other States of Federal aid to
education.
Don't you suppose" said Mr. Tillman,
that We have as many poor children needing
education as you have, and as matter of de-
cency do you propose to gobble up all these
lands?"
=" am not gobbler," returned Mr. Morgan,
" so that the rules applying to gobblers do not
apply to me-"
After further talk Mr.. Morgan withdrew his
amendment.

Physicians continue to advise daily baths

A PANIED beefsteak, while not so good as one
broiled over the Goals, is the next best thing.
But many cooks think to pan-broil a steak
means to fry it in very little butter, which is
not the truth. To pan-broil have the frying
pan very hot and put tho steak on it over the
hottest part of the stove. After two or three
minutes turn it and scar the other side. Then
let it cook moro slowly until it is done to suit.
Steaks, of course, can be rare or well done with
this method. Don't put any grease in the pan.
1t is something of an art to brol to perfection
in this way, but it can be done. The novice is
always Hurried and tears her steak, and it will
bother her by sticking to the pan, but after few
trials the steak will turn easily and smoothly.
The soaring on both sides of the meat is abso-
lutely necessary. and must be done Immediately.
This keeps the juices in the steak, where they
belong. Some fair cooks scar one side and let
it cook awhile, then turn it over and let the
other side cook, which means loss of half th
flavor of the meat.

caulifower with white sauce is delicious
Boil the cauliaower-which, by the way, Mark
Twain calls "a cabbage with a college educa-
tion lin bag until it is tender. The white
sauce is made by Dreaming together one full
tablespoonful of butter with scant tablespoon
full Of -four. Let this combination melt in
pan, being careful not to scorch IL, and then
add one cupful of cream or rich milk, and let
it cook until it thickens. Pour it over the
caulifower. OF course, the sauce must be
sailed and peppered, and the eauiifower should
be boiled in sailed water.

Training schools of various sorts arc doing
their best to make woman's work more skill
full and systematic, thereby giving it more
dignifed standing. The graduates of good
schools demand and deserve good pay, and
generally get it. To better the work is the
surest and only way Of lettering the condition
of working women the world over. The New
York Training School for nurserymaids is do
ing excellent work. Its students command good
pay. have excellent homes, and do censcienti-
Gus work.

CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The new Chinese Minister is afflicted with
the same trouble that Ii Hung Chang had
curiosity. His judgment of a mans greatness
appears to be based primarily on the size of his
salary and his age, aud if he follows the custom
of the Vice-Regent he will find out these things
about every distinguished visitor who calls on
him. Joking aside, however, WI Ting Fang
is really learned dignitary, and in q recent
interview with local newspaper man he
turned interviewer himself, aud asked many
questions that showed he intended to become
acquainted with the city and the Government
at galioping rate. He is diplomat of high
calber, and it was in recognition of his services
in the making of the last commercial treaty
sen. to Washington.
Several interesting stories are related of the
late Judge Holman. His activity in the way
of economy often brought down upon his head
the ridicule Of other Congressman, and they
were watchful of chances to defeat the measures
he advocated. 1t is told that on one occasion
Judge Holman was in favor of a certain appro-
priation for Indianapolis. While he was SO ex-
pressing himself, Mr.. Dockery, whose pseudo
reform movements at one time scared the De-
partment clerks nearly out of their wits, re.
ferred to recent assault by the Judge on
another members bill, and exclaimed, amid
roars Of laughter, "The Chairman's sudden
change of tone reminds me strongly of those
lines from Byron: 'Iis sweet to hear the
watch-dog's honest bark bay deep mouthed
welcome as we draw near home'" The In.
dianapolis appropriation did not get through.
But Judge Holman did not lose many OPP
portunities of doing good, when he believed
that action on his part would really result in
relieving want. 1t is said that one night, while
speaking at Manchester Ind, he concluded his
remarks with: my dear friends before 1
