THURSDAY, JANUARY 10. 1898.
Senator. Mark Hanna was, on We'd

Senator, Mark Hanna was, on We'd
nesday, elected to succeed himself.
The vote was very close, giving him a
majority OF only two on joint ballot,
with one opposition member absent on
account of sickness. The Democrats
and boiling Republicans supported
Robert Il. McKisson, mayor OF Cleve-
land.
The proceedings OF the Democratic
caucus show that the Democratic
organization In Ohio Is completely
under the control of the free silver
leaders. The press dispatches say;
"When the name Of Mayor Nc
Kisson was suggested the Democrats
demanded to know whether McKisson
was n free silver man. Not content
with the assurance of Myers and other
leaders of the fusion, they sent for
McKisson. He made speech to the
caucus In which he said In substance:
Gentlemen, publicly and be-
fore the people ] am aud must
be n Republican. But ! assure
you and pledge you that II elected
TO the United States senate by
this fusion, | will stand on the
Chicago platform.
"This pledge was satisfactory and
the caucus declared for Mckisson for
both long and short terms"
In thus blindly doing the bidding of
unwise leadership, the Democratic
members of the Ohio legislature have
gained nothing in representation and
have lost n great deal OF self respect
and real democracy. 1t IL well that
the senator elect from the great state
OF Ohio stands upon the st, Louis
rather than the Chicago platform.

OLD CATERER ON TERRAPIN.
When 1t Is Ready, the Satisfaction Is In
"Eating 1t All Yourself"

"EatiDR IL All YOURSELF"
James Prosser, famous colored ca
tefer of this city, dead long ago, fur.
nished tho following formula for pre-
pairing and serving terrapin, which was
published in a gastronomi journal at tho
time when he was on earth:
lyon can't enjoy terrapin unless the
day is nippin. Temperature and terra
pin go hand in hand. Now, as to your
terrapin. Bless you, there is all the
difference in the world in them. The
more northcrly is the terrapin found the
better. You eat II Florida terrapin-you
needn't despise it, for terrapin is terra
pin eyerywhere-but you get a Chcsa-
peake ono or Delaware bay one, or,
better still, Long Island one and there
is just the difference between $40 a
dozen and $3.50. Warm water kinder
washes the delicate flavor out Of them.
Don't you let Mr.. Bergh know it, but
your terrapin must be boiled alive.
Have good big pot, with q hot fire I'M
der it, so that he shan't languish, and
when it has got on u full head Of steam
pop him in. What am goin to give is
a recipe for Il single one. If you are aw-
fully rich and go in for gross of terra
pin, just use your multiplication table.
just as soon as he caves in watch him
and try his hippers. When they part
when you pry them with your finger
nail, he is good. Open him nicely with
q knife. Bilin OF him dislocates the
snuifbox There amt oyermuch of it,
more's tho pity. The most is III the
jints Of the legs and side lockers, but if
you want to commit murder just you
smash his gall, and then your terrapin
is gone forever. Watch closely for eggs
and handle them gingerly. Now, hay
in got him or her all into shape, Put
the meat aside Take three fresh eggs
you must have them fresh. Bile 'em
hard and mash 'em smooth. Add to
that tablespoonful of sifted flour,
three tablospoonfuls of cream, salt and
pepper (red pepper to a terrapin is just
depravity) and two wineglasses Of sher
ry wine. Vino as costs So so u bottle
ain t bit too good There never was
gotega in all Portugal that wouldn't
think itself honored to have itself mixed
up with II terrapin Now you want quite
u quarter Of pound of tho very best
fresh butter and put that in a porcelain
covered pan and melt it first-mustn'
DO Drowned. When it's come to be oily,
put in your terrapin, yolks OF egg, wine
and all. Let it simmer gently. Bilin
up two or three times does the business.
What you are after is to make it blend.
There ain 'tnothin that must be too point
cd in torrapin stew. 1t wants to be q
quiet thing, suave thing, just pervad-
ed with most beautiful and natural
terrapin aroma You must serve it to
tho people that eats it on hot plate
but tho real thing is to have it on II
chafin dish, and though II man ought
not to be selfish there is kind of divine
satisfaction in eatin it all yourself. -

A GEORGIA HEN COOP.
N Was Suro Proof Against the Inroads of
Outsiders.

N Was Suro Proof Against the Inroads of
Outsiders.
"There isn't more faithful being on
earth, said Georgia business man to
reporter, than one of our Georgia
darkies. Neither is there one more So
perstitious, nor yet again is there one
who loves better the products of tho
hen coop. And Gainesville isn't any diff
ferent from any one of hundred south
ern towns. When I was down there
some time ago, customer of mine who
had fancy for chickens and who had
always had more or less trouble in
maintaining ownership of them told me
he had remedy and asked me to 60
around with him and see it. l wanted
him TO tell me what it was but he in
sisted on my seeing it first, so l went
along with him, and in few minutes
was standing in his back yard before
what was to me the oldest chicken
coop / ever saw. 1t was constructed of
large timbers and there were q dozen
places in its walls where hand could
be run in and everything cleaned out
within reach. Then there was no fas-
tening on the door, nor was there any
kind of protection to the fowls. I
couldn't understand how such an in
viting snap could be of any use TO the
owner and said as much.
"'The charm is in the timber said
he.
"'No, said J..
"'Fact, just the same, said he. you
dom sec it on the outside and you don't
know it, but the darkies around here
do, and they won't come within 100
yards of that coop if they can help it. I
don t care how full of chickens it is.
Cause why? 1t is built of the timbers
of q gallows Oh which man was hung
about three months ago in another coun-
ty. 1t cost me something extra to get it,
but it has more than paid for itself
since | have had it, and am in tho
market now to buy all the secondhand
scaffolds i'll Georgia. If you run across
q sheriff any place with one for sale, let
me know by next mail, won't you,
please"
cit was true BILL" concluded the
travelling man, "for I saw darby
tried Oh it, and he refused big silver
dollar to go down to tho coop to get
chicken for breakfast. "-Washington

Drying Clothes.

The drying. of clothes in frosty
weather is sometimes. in the case of
delicate abrics, attended with tearing
because of the quick stiffening in the
very cold air A simple precaution
which will prevent any such trouble is
to dissolve three or four handfuls of
coarse salt in the last rinsing water,
thus making it, in fact, weak brine.
Articles SO rinsed will not suffer fromn
or stiffen with the cold. T.

BRITISH IMPORTS DECREASE. At the Same Time the American
 Exports Have Increased.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-The fact that British imports into the United States have fallen off greatly in the past year, while American exports have greatly in- creased, has been announced from time to time during the year, but the full years figures, just presented by the Treasury Bureau of Statistics, bring to the surface some interesting details not heretofore published. These show that while the exports from the United States to the United Kingdom have increased 12 per cent, the imports from the United Kingdom have fallen off 35 per cent. The exports from the United States to the United Kingdom during the past year were, in round numbers, five times as much as the imports from the United Kingdom, the figures of the Bureau of Statistics being as follows:
 Imports from the United Kingdom, $109, ,13S ,365; exports to the United King dom $540, ,S60 ,1o2.
