Want to go to Cuba.

Now that the 31st Michigan is bound
for Cuba applications for enlistment
are numerous. Col. Gardener has been
offered two full companies of Spanish

from Mai. Kalmbach, of Grand Rapids,

in southwestern Michigan. But he
can accept neither, as he is only au-
thorized TO fill the 200 vacancies in his

Baltimore, Md, was struck by a

blown down, trees uprooted and poles
leveled. Telegraph, telephone, electric

Earth's Oldest Flower.

flower had already long been known.
In Egypt the rose is depicted on a

into a salad bowl, with a few thin
slices of cucumber and beetroot. Add
one egg cut into slices and a few skin

Well wash and shake in a tea-cloth the
white leaves from two or three let

simply break them in half. Put them
into the bowl, sprinkle over them a

tablespoonful of good salad oil. Toss
the leaves about well and lightly in

To Roast Meats.

One OF the small but essential points
In the roasting Of meats often neg
lected or not understood by the averS

rather than hot water should be used
to haste them. Start the fat Of the
roast with a little butter or good t1rin-
pings and then depend upon the juices
TO- continue the process. It should be
remembered, TOO, that all roast meats
need hot oven to start with. After@
ward the heat should be tempered.

ANNIE HUGHES ASSAILANT HELD
The Girps Sister Rejected His Ad-
vances and He Swore TO Get Even.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey CITY News. j
NEWARK, JAN q, 1S97.-Erich A. Pris-
man, the ex-convict, who was arrested in
New York yesterday on the charge OF
having murderously assaulted Miss Anna
2. Hughes, the Secretary to Commander
Ballington Booth of the American Volun-
teers, on Thursday evening week ago,
in Orange N. j., will probably be indicted
today by the Essex county Grand jury.
The case was taken up in Newark yester-
day afternoon.
Chief of Police McChesney, Miss
Hughes mother and her sister, Jennie,
have already given their testimony before
the Grand Jury. Their evidence tenoeo
to show that Prisman had made love TO
Jennie Hughes and that when she reject
ed his advances he threatened 10 get
even.' 1t is evident from that that s Prls-
man when he assaulted Anna in the dark
ness mistook her for her sister Jennie On
the day of the assault he knew that Jen-
ME, who was in New York, was gong TO
Orange to see her parents. In desk IN
Mrs. Ballington Booths office was kept
sandbag as a curiosity. 1t is alleged that
Prisman broke open this desk and took
the sand bag to Orange with the intention
of committing an assault on Jennie
Hughes
According to the theory Of the police
and the evidence of Jennie Hughes and
her mother, Prisman lay in wait for Jen-
ME Hughes and that when Anna came of
the train that Thursday night, mlstaKlnlg
her for Jennie, he struck her with sand
bag. The sandbag, it is alleged, was
afterwards returned to Mrs. Booth desk
by Prisman in a soi1ed condition, showing
it had been used.
Prisman has record as a convict; He
was sentenced in Brooklyn, March To-
1891 to ten years in Sing Sing for bufg-
larry He was discharged September 80,
1897, and last October entered the Prison
ers' League of the Volunteers. mrs
Ballington Booth first saw Prisman when when
She visited Sing Sing prison to conduct
services. Prisman expressed a desire to
become member of the Volunteers after
he came out of prison. 1t was not long,
however. before he fell into bad COM
pany and on the day he assaulted Anna
he was discharged from the Volunteers
for being concerned in petty thefts.
Previous to tbs he had showed marked at
tention to Miss Jennie Hughes, but she
says she never encouraged him IN the
least,
