To Serve With Fish

Sauce la Joinvile is delicious for serv-
ing with fish. Place an ounce and a half
of fresh butter in small stew pan; as soon
as it oils, sift into it by degrees an ounce
of dried and sifted flour, and stir vigorous
ly until quite cooked, but do not allow the
mixture to acquire much color. Have
ready half pint of well favored fish
stock. Add this by degrees. stirring sharp
ly all the time. AS soon as the stock is all
in, draw the pan to the side of the fire and
simmer gently for a quarter of an hour.
continuing the stirring process to prevent
the sauce catching; beat up the yolks Of
two eggs with three pence worth of cream.
and. having tammied the sauce in the
usual way, return 1t to a clean sauce pan
and make hot again; then add the liai-
son of cream, ETC., and, finally, just before
serving, a squeeze Of lemon juice and half
dozen drops of tobasco. This sauce must
not be allowed to boil after the eggs, etc.,
have been added, otherwise 1t will curdle
and be completely spoiled.-Londou Tele-

HATS OFF IN PORTO RICO
That Is the Fashion When the Band
Plays "Star Spangled Banner,,

Ponce, Porto Rico-The reception of The
American army in Porto Rico continues In
an 'Oh, be joyful!' way. From Guay-
anna, a town where the Spanish were said
to be gathering and intrenching, the peo-
pie sent word to Ponce that all the Span
!ards had gone and the populace were
waiting to receive the Americans. One
company of troops was sent there and had
big reception. The American flag had
already been hoisted and everybody ga th-
cred around II. When the soldiers came
the people sang "The Star Spangled Ban
ner" In a mixture Of Spanish and English.
At Ponce every time the band plays 1.-THE
Star Spangled Banner" the police run
about and make everybody remove his hat.
From ten miles In the interior It was re-
ported that large Spanish force had gath
cred. Gen. Ernst sent two companies OF
soldiers to see. They met a party oNSpan-
tsh soldiers on the outskirts Of the town
loaded down with guns and swords. When
the Spaniards caught sight Of our men
they yelled Don't shootw and ran toward
the Americans. They said they were
coming In to surrender and give up ,aeir
arms. The party was small, but thew
had arNs enough for a regiment. Our
soldiers sent them to Ponce with instruc-
tons to report to Gen. Wilson and give I'D
their arms. They obeyed and signed a
parole.-Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.

An Open Letter

To M. p. Snyder, Mayor Of Los Angeles
Sir: AS the official head OF our city gov
errment, you are weighted with more or
less responsibility and have effective infiu-
ence which you can and should use at
times. now rise to inquire what kind Of
law and order we are living under when 1t
Is a common occurrence for people TO be ar
rested and confined in our city jail without
any process Of law and In defiance Of con-
stitutional rights, which insure liberty I'M
til 1t is taken from the individual in legal
manner. How much longer are you going
to remain silent in the face Of such facts
as the one reported in today's papers, and
which. If 1t had taken place in Russia.
would have stirred your righteous indigna-
ton and probably provoked a protest? How
much longer do you propose to see the car
Of our Bastile violate laws and continue his
high-handed proceedings in throwing peo-
pie into jail on mere suspicion? Do you in
dorse such things? If not, why do you not
exercise your influence and authority and
put q stop to such business?
What is the police commission for, OF
which you are the head? And why, II you
are really Democrat and believe In one OF
the great principles Of that party-person-
al Nberty-do you sit with closed mouth and
say nothing?
When one part OF our city machinery
usurps the functions Of another, when the
police department does what cannot be le-
gally done without a sworn warrant from
another office. 1t is your duty to enter pro-
test and to stop such work. Again I ask,
why don't you do It? If we have criminals
among us, the law provides a way to
reach them, and II they cannot be reached
through the channels of the law, then they
have just as much right to their liberty as
yourself or the big czar at the Bastile.
If he and his well-paid force cannot sup
press our criminal element in a legal man.
ner, they have no right to suppress it in any
other. or by violating laws themselves, as
they do every time an arrest is made with
cut a sworn warrant, when the party Is not
caught in the very act.
Suspicion Is mighty poor thing,
taken alone. on which to deprive
one OF his liberty; but it is becoming a
common occurrence for people to be thrown
into jail on that, and there kept while their
friends worry and wonder at their disap-
pearance. If the female domestic, who was
virtually buried alive for five days in our
city Jail. was SO strongly suspected OF theft
by her employer, a sworn warrant would
have put her there legally; but II conviction
had failed to follow, then a suit for dam
ages might have followed. Such people
wish to escape those possibilities, and our
police force is helping them. while making
the city liable in every case of her kind.
This fact alone should insure your inter-
ference, and 1t may be worth considering
If we are not living in a state Of anarchy,
like the people in Gambia, would 1t not be
we'll to respect our laws enough to refrain
from violating them in official quarters; and
Il you are not in favor Of the outrageous
methods in vogue at the police department,
will you not do something to convince the
public Of that fact?

The first game was extremely ragged,
and was replete with long drives, stupid
plumbers and rank errors. The features
were a home run by Doyle, bringing In
Hutchinson, and the great backstop work
of Big Bill Pace, who worked for the Stock
tons.
The second game was great battle be-
tween great pitchers. George Borchers and
"Silent" Harvey were both in great form,
and Strengthened out to do little better
than their best. Both men were very eff
fective, and while the ball was frequently
touched, base hits were as scarce as hen S
teeth. Up to the seventh innings neither
team had got man across the plate. In
their half of that innings, with two men on
bases, Muller Of Stockton lined out two

young statesmen in Los Angeles county
publicly advocated just this demand.
But the main proposition is that the in
mates of the home are not citizens of the
state Of California and county of Los An
geles by reason OF their being inmates of
the home. There must be some rule to de-
termine this question. It will hardly do to
say that these homes are not exclusively
national or federal territory. and if a per-
son cannot vote in the District of Columbia
because It Is exclusively federal territory
then the same rule ought to apply 70 all
other exclusively federal territory. To-
