ANTIQUITY OF ICE CREAM.
1t Was Eaten in Paris as Early as
I774.


It Was Eaten in Paris as Early as
I774.
Ice cream is an older sweetmeat than
many would suppose. In the begin
ming Of the seventeenth century COB
lets made Of ice and also iced fruit,
l. e., fruit frozen over, were first
brought to table, says the Gentleman's
Magazine. The limonadiers, or lemon
ade sellers, of Parts endeavored to in
crease the popularity of their wares
by icing them; and one more enter
prizing than the rest, an Italian named
Procope Couteaux, in the year 1860.
conceived the idea Of converting such
beverages entirely into ice. and about
twenty years later iced liquors, l. G.,
liquors changed into ice, were the
principal things sold by the limon-
adiers. BY the end OF that century
iced liquors were quite common in
Paris. Ice cream, OF iced butter" as
Il was first called, from its supposed re-
semblance TO that substance. soon fol-
lowed. II was first known In Paris In
1774. The Due de Chartres often went
at that time 10 the Paris coffee houses
TO drink glass OF iced liquor, and the
landlord having one day presented him
with his farms" formed ia edible ice,
this kind OF sweetmeat became the
fashion. German cooks at once took
up the new art. 1t was not long In
reaching England, for in 1875 a French
cook, resident in London, named Clar-
mont. wrote "The Modern Cook" in
which sweet ices were first described
for the instruction Of English cooks.
Present-day cooks have elaborated the
ice enormously.

GOMEZ TALKS.
willing to Pay Reasonable Indemnity
for Independence

WhllnE TO ray heasonaDle indemnify
for Independenee
NEW York, March 90. The Tribune
publishes an interview with General
Gomez near Sancti Spiritus in Santa
Clara province. lie was planning an
insurgcnt campaign which should
follow the expected recognition of
Cuban independence by the United
States Apparently he did not think
Spain would Immediately accept in
tervention or mediation by the Wash
ington administration, and he be-
lieyed the recognition OF in6epeH-
dence would follow the refusal Such
action he regarded as natural Sc
quence to the Haine incident, and the
other incidents bearing upon the po-
sition taken in the Presidents Decem-
ber message. While preparing TO take
advah tage of whatever is done, Gomez
does not look for an early ending OF
the Cuban war His idea is that Spain
will continue such fighting as has
been going on and will not at once
abandon the island. His military
plans are based upon this view and he
has impressed upon the insurgents
that they must not expect immediate
independence as a fact following the
declaration The insurgent com
mander seems TO think that while
Spain will not now accept the good Of
fees Of the United States she might
ultimately do so. Then, he believes,
the best proposition is for the pur-
chase OF the island by the Cubans
under a guarantee by the United
States
That is best for all parties, was
his language. We could perhaps pay
$500, 900, 900 for independence. II Spain
will not take that, she will take moth
ing away from Cuba except her war
debt II she will accept indemnity
before 1t is too late, We can pay It,
The guarantee of the United States
would be in the nature of protecto-
rate Annexation would not follow.
We know the American people do not
want to annex Cuba All they want
is commercial treaty giving them
trade advantages which are naturally
theirs
81 hope, continued General Gomez,
there will he no war between the
United States and Spain. Itwouid be
costly. The Spaniards are SO sense
lessiy blind TO their own weakness
Resides, fear that IL hostilities be-
tween the two countries come, a. will
add 10 the burdens of the Cubans
when Independence Is secured. The
island is desert, and will remain so
while Spain's rule continues Too
much should not be laid upon II when
peace comes
Gomez discussed the relations Of the
United states aud Spain several times,
and always in language showing his
earnest desire that the American peo-
pie might be spared war, His anxiety
was deep.

FORTUNE FOR A VASE.
Celebrated Pieces of China and Their
Owners.

Celebrated Pieces OF China and Their
Owners.
Ten thousand guineas paid by the
earl of Dudley for an antique vase and
ever OF the early Sevres china was the
largest sum ever paid for vase, says
London Tit-Bits. 1t was afterward sold
to Baron Schroeder for 5000 guineas.
Five thousand guineas was paid at the
sale of the Lynes-Stephens collection
in 1895 for an oviform vase OF old
Sevres porcelain, painted with horse
men and figures, after Wouvermans,
and a trophy of arms in two medal
lions with futed neck and handles
formed as gilt figures of boys, by Dodin
and NORM, fifteen and three-fourths
inches high; the price included a pair
OF oviform, fat-shaped vases OF COM
paratively small value, apart from the
above described, the three being one
set, which formed a part OF the earl OF
Pembroke's collection. In Mr. Jones
collection OF pottery and porcelain, at
the South Kensington museum, there
is an egg-shaped Gros Bleu Sevres vase
with medallions Of Cupid and Psyche,
which we're acquired for 1900 guineas.
The celebrated Barberini or Portland
vase. now preserved in the gold cha i
her OF the British museum, was pur-
chased by Sir w. Hamilton for Gl,OOO,
and sfterward sold to the duchess Oh
Portland for G1, 800. A historical vase
was recently put under the hammer at

sented to the marquis of NJ -ntcalm
