NY Dear Anne

Probably you know we have been hav-
ing a first class food fair in Boston, and
YOU could get ideas enough there TO
work upon for year. The particular
thing which pleased me, however. was
the table decorations in the household
department.
Now table decoration should be a
subject of interest to every housewife,
Cor the appearance Of the table has
much to do with the enjoyment of the
food served.
1t is not necessary TO have the most
expensive linen or the heaviest silver
and finest cut glass TO have the meal a
delightful one but IL is necessary TO have
the linen spotless. the silver bright and
the glass shining to please the members
OF the family.
Now IL is always a pleasure TO have
flowers on the tabfe-not = great bouquet
or a mass of foliage, bur some simple
decoration. What is prettier than
small round dish of graceful ferns, or
single rose with its beautiful glossy
leaves?
If you are to have tea" for few
friends you can decorate your table at
little expense by laying a moss-green
satin ribbon diagonally across it, fasten-
ing IL at each end with ferns and few
autumn leaves, brilliant in color.
Smilsx makes a graceful decoration.
with dayDreak pinks scattered about the
table, but prefer something odd, some
thing unusual. i have sat at table
where every guest was delighted with
one long-sts mined rose. brilliant in
color, perfect i'm outline, which shed its
perfume over all.
Be very sure that you keep the color
scheme in all its details \ violet lunch
should have the candles Of pale violet
color, The shades d little deeper and the
ribbon a still darker shade.
Tiny bouquets Of violets in green glass
receptacles will make "A table dream of
beauty.
There are hundreds of ways 10 decorate
a table, but be very sure to avoid any
gaudy colors any coe rse foliage, or any
large covers. Keep the decorations
simple, sweet and fresh.
Yours culinarily,

Train Held Up by Robbers
in New Mexico.
EXPRESS CAR SET ON FIRE
Fireman Ran It Against Other Cars
Causing Wr eek.
ONE SAFE WAS OVERLOOKED.

Albuquerque, ~. Mex. Nov. S-No.
passenger train Of the Santa Fe Pacific,
which was held UP at Grants station
Saturday night. reached this city at
1870 Sunday morning. Conductor Aid
rich states that just as the train came
70 a halt at Grants, a fusilade or shotS
rang out in the air, and several men
boarded the train. one going on the
engine. He and Engineer Mccarthy
were on the platform. but caught the
train as IT was moving out. The fire.
man, Henry Abel. was compelled, at
the point Of revolver, TO pull the train
up to the stock yards, about two miles
distant.-The- conductor realized that
something was wrong and left the train
at the stock yards, where the robbers
had ordered the train stopped He ran
back to the station and telegraphed the
news TO Division Superintendent Hub
bard at Gallup and Sheriff Hubbel.
In the meantime the robbers cut the
mail coach, the day and chair coaches
and the Pullman sleeper from the engine
and express car, and the fireman was
ordered 10 pull the latter further up the
road They commenced dynamiting the
express car, and the third explosion
blew out one end OF the car, Abel being
forced 10 assist the robbers. Once in
side. they picked out the safe which they
surmised contained considerable money
and valuables. and placed 1t on stick
OF dynamite.
A few lurnps OF coal were put on the
dynamite. a fuse was attached 10 the
safe and lighted. and in this way the
robbers blew a hole in the safe. They
helped themselveseto number OF pack
ages containing gold and silver coin,
which they placed in sack, and then
left the car going In the direction or
Malpoirt rocks, where their horses were
picketed. The express car was on
fire and Abel. thoroughly frightened
backed the engine and express car into
the other portion OF the train at the
stock yards. In consequence the ex-
press car. day coach and chair car were
telescoped, and all three destroyed by
fire.
Express agents who went out to the
scene state that the robbers did not get
into the most valuable safe, which. with
two others. was badly warped by the
fire. They think, however. that tho
robbers secured several thousand dol
lars. but the exact amount Will not bs
known for some time. as all the papers
and records OF the car and safe were
burned The baggage was all removed
before the fire got under headway. The
passengers were not molested. The
robbers are thought To be desperate
cowboys who are familiar with that sec
tion of the road. A posse of officers is

of the untried measures there remain
only: Recognition OF the insur-
gents as belligerents; recognition
OF the independence Of Cuba: neutral
Intervention to end the war by impos-
ing a rational compromise between the
insurgents. and Intervention in favor
OF one or the other party. I speak not
OF forcible annexation, for that cannot
be thought of. That by our code Of
morality would be criminal aggression.
Recognition OF the belligerency OF the
Cuban inrurgents has often been can
vassed as q possible IL not inevitable
step. both in regard to the previous
ten years struggle and during the pres

The instructions given to our new
MUNSTER to Spain before his de-
pArture for his post directed him
TO impress upon that government
the sincere wish of the United States
to lend its aid toward the ending Of the
war in Cuba by reaching a peaceful and
lasting result, Just and honorable alike
To Spain and to the Cuban people.
Those instructions recited the character
and duration Of the contest, the wide
spread losses IL entails, the burdens and
restraints II imposes upon US, with
constant disturbance Of national inter
ests. and the injury resulting from an
indefinite continuance Of this state Of
things. II was stated that at this
1uncture our government was con-
strained to seriously inquire IL the time
was not ripe when Spain Of her own
volition. moved by her own interests
andevery sentiment OF humanity, should
put stop TO this destructive war and
make proposals Of settlement honorable
TO herself and Just TO her Cuban colony.
IL was urged that as a neighboring ma
tion. with large interests in Cuba, we
could be required to wait only a reason

establish its authority and restore order
within the borders of the island: that

result. No solution was proposed to
which the slightest idea of humiliation
to Spain could attach and indeed pre-
else proposals were withheld to avoid
embarrassment to that government
All that was asked or expected was
that some safe way might be speedily
provided and permanent peace restored
IL so CHANGED that the consideration of
this offer. addressed to the same Span

which for more than two years had

parture OF General woodford. the new
envoy. and his arrival in Spain. the
statesmen who had shaped the policy of
his country fell by the hand of an
assassin. and although the cabinet of
the late premier still held Office and
received from our envoy the proposals
he bore that cabinet gave place within
few days thereafter to a new admins
tration under the leadership of Sagasta.
