THE THIRD REGIMENT.
General Corbin Practically Admits
That They Will Go TO Cuba.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-Special-Ad-
jutant General Corbin said this evening
that the Third Virginia Regiment had
not been ordered to Cuba. No orders
had been issued to them, he said. He
then added: They may be sent, but have
not been ordered there yet"
1t is reported that transports sufficient
to carry the entire reinforcements to Gen.
erai Shafter were not available
1t IS known that the Yale and Harvard
were assigned 10 transport duty with re-
luctance on account OF their great value
for scouting and other service. This
makes 1t appear possible that pending
the provision of transports no orders viii
be issued TO the Third. but that they
may be ordered TO Cuba later.
Plans are made and unmade every day
by the administrative department and al
though correspondent might to-day
have positive information that an order
had been issued. he would not be entire
ly safe in saying II would be executed.
Contingencies arise every day which
cannot be foreseen and make a seeming
certainty doubtful and for this the War
Department gets criticism. which hardly
appears merited in every instance.

CrOuuetteS,

The secret Of having croquettes firm,
lies in their being mixed for long
time. The meat should be chopped very
fine after being freed from all fat and
gristle, and about half pint of milk
allowed to each pint of meat. The milk
should be put over the fire while ia
blespoonful of butter and 2 tablespoon
fuls Of flour are rubbed together. The
hot milk is then added, and the whole
cooked to thick, smooth paste. Mean
time, to pint of chopped meat is added
a tablespoonful of chopped parsley, salt
and pepper to taste, the grated rind of
a lemon, and a teaspoonful of onion
juice, if that is liked, or some cooks
simply rub a halved onion over the
mixing bowl. The seasoned meat is then
stirred into the paste and the whole
turned out to cool. The meat should be
allowed to stand for at least 2 hours be-
fore it is nodded into croquettes. Dip
first in eggs, then in bread crumbs, and
fry in smoking hot fat. Powdered shred
ded biscuits will be found a pleasant
variety to the bread crumbs. It is a
caution, by the way, in the use of these
biscuits, where bread crumbs are re-
CURED, that they are very unsuccessful
in escalloped tomatoes. They are toe
starchy, evidently, to be of use there,
and they form a gummy mass that is
not appetizing.-New York Post. -

Crossing Swords In the House.


Away back in the seventies, during
the famous deadlock fight on the civil
rights bill, the question of the adjourn
ment of congress was under discussion
one Saturday afternoon. Ben Butler,
that born wit, had stepped over to Sam
Randall's desk for private consulta-
tion. Butler favored a Sunday session,
while Randall opposed it vigorously.
.'Bad as am, have some respect
for Gods day." said the famous high
tariff champion, "and don't think it
right to hold session on the Sabbath. y
"Oh, pshawH' responded Butler.
Doesn't the Bible say that it is lawful
to pull your OK or ass out Of the pit on
the Sabbath day? You have IS asses on

DOCTOR WAS IN UCK.

How He Got Quarter OF Beef He Wan
In Want or.
"A prosperous Pittsburg physician, who
resides in <an aristocratio part Of the
city, related an experience he met with
abouta year after he had graduated
from college. He was practicing in a
small village in Indiana county about
18 miles from any railroad. He had
been recently married, and in the strug-
gle to make ends meet the prospect at
times became very discouraging. It was
during one Of these depressing periods
in the middle of the winter, with snow
a foot and a half deep covering the
ground, that he was called to attend q
farmer who lived some miles away. The
stock OF provisions in the house was ex-
hausted, and it seemed certain that>the
resolution that had been made by the
young couple not to ask any one for
credit must be broken. When the call
arrived, the doctor was preparing to go
to the nearest store to ask the proprie-
tor to give him tick SO that he could
get something for breakfast. Instead Of
going to the store he mounted his faith
eul mare Molly and started off through
the drifts to visit his patient. When
the doctor rose to leave, after attending
to"the patient, the old farmer said:
''Doc, Iain't got no money, but if a
quarter of beef'll do you any good Til
send it in when the roads git broke
The young DOCTORS heart gave a
bound. Concealing his exultation as
best he could, he said: ''What's the
matter with me taking it right along? I
was thinking of buying some beef, and
this will come in handy ~
The proposition was accepted, and the
farmers son helped put the quarter of
beef across Molly's shoulders, and the
homeward journey began. The mare
was skittish, and the doctor bad diff

drift.
The doctor was a member of the
Methodist church, and, according to his
story, did not swear. He dismounted
and endeavored to put the beef on the
mare, but she wouldn't stand still, and
after repeated attempts the task seemed
hopeless one. Thinking of the resolu-
ton, the Young doctor set his teeth and
tried again. This time he was success
full. He felt like conquering hero as
he dumped the beef on the portico of his
modest home about midnight. The
faithful little wife was sure it was q
dispensation of Providence, but the doc
tor, remembering his struggles at the
snowdrift, reserved his opinion. Pitts
