SOME HINTS ABOUT PASTRY COOK
ING.
(Ry Mrs. Mary ]. Lincoln.l

(By Mrs. Mary J. Iincon)
If pastry is ever to be eaten, winter is
the most suitable time. and perhaps q f'w
general suggestions in regard to 1t will
not be anlss while the cold weather is
stil with US.
There has been much indiscriminate
condemnation of pastry, and while there
are doubtless many people to whom it
would he almost rank poison, there are
others who can eat it without any per-
ceptiblc harm, provided it is made 50 that
1t is light dry and well baked.
Unsuitable proportions of flour and fat,
unsl;llful handling, slack baking, over
Indulgence and unwholcsomc combina-
tons, are some Of the causes for much Of
this TRADE against pastry; but when good
judgment, painstaking ana certain
knack accompany it's preparation, ana an
occasional Indulgence at suitable time
with suitable combinations, Is followed by
active exercise, there will be no
occasion for such wholesale abuse Of what
/ Is really a delicious article of food.
Pastry flour shoIld BE- used, as this Is soft
ana oily in texture. As t has less gluten
II does not swell so much as the new pro-
cess, or bread flour (Which often proves
troublesome by crawling back when the
dough Is rolled ouO, and it makes a more
tender crust.
Butter or lard, or cream may be used
for Shortcomings
Butter alone makes a tougher but bet
ter favored and brown"r crust than lard
alone So if we wish to have tender
crust with a. smaller amount Of shorten
ing we use a mixture of lard and butter.
The butter should be sweet and close
grained. with the buttermlk we'll worked
out; and lard which has been tried out by
melting, rather than by steam or pressure,
has the best shortening qualities.
These and the water should be as cold
as possible. salt should be used, and in
larger proportion with lard than with but
ter
The simplest and quickest method OF
mixing is to- cut or chop the shortening
into flour. or it may DO rubbed in witt

the knack of doing it quickly without
melting the fat. Make a dough Just stiff

Forged State Bonds.

New York, Nov. 24.-The Herald says:
Considerable interest has been created
among investors by the announcement
that d large number OF forged Virginia
state 3 per cent bonds are afioat. 1t is
not known how many Of these bonds are
held in this city, but it is said that a
comparatively large number have found
purchasers here. 1t is the opinion of
some who are considered authorities that
the oupon from these bonds in the
hands of innocent third parties will prove
valid obligations Of the state Of Virginia.
ITndeT what vas known as the Riddle
berger law, in 1882, q contract was given
by Virginia to the Kendall Bank Note
company CT this city for ; per cent M
which were to be used in refunding the
state debt. Ninety days after the con-
tract had been awarded a special session
of the legislature ainu!lel the Riddle
berger law. However, bonds having a
face value of So. 600. coo were expressed to
Richmond and We're refused. Later they
We're sold for the charges. Into whose
hands the pa,,er fell is not known. At
enipt We're made to recover the bonds,
but without success. For more than a
year. however, banks in the north and
west have heard much of the forged
bonds. 1t is said that in st. Loui last
July a trust oaned 100000. TAX

attempt at fraud and the loan was re-
paid before either the borrower or lender

such as to cover all expenses for the trip,
but in some respects was not sattsfac-
tory. The players on the Maroon team
are confident that they are to be given

Sends His Annual Report
to the President.
WAR DEPARTMENT WORK
The Recommendations That Are Made
Will Form an Important Part in
the forthcoming Message to Cor
gress--GOvernment of Islands.

New York, Nov. PA special to the
Herald from Washington says: Presi-
dent Mckinley has received a synopsis
OF Secretary Roots annual report, which
he is now considering i'll connection with
his message to congress-. Dealing as it
does with all the events of the last year
in connection with the Philippines, Cuba
and Porto Rico, and in the discussion and
recommendations for the future govern
ment OF these new possessions. it will
form the basis for the most important
chapter of the presidents message.
These are some Of the most essential
features Of the secretary's observations
and recommendations. The immediate
appointment of civil governors for Cuba
and Porto Rico. ira substitution OF
civil government, eit.4el by commission
or a civil governor, for the Philippines
Immediately following the suppression
OF the present insurraction. A complete
system of suffrage in The Philippines.
Cuba and Porto Rico. with educational
and property qualifications required for
all voters. The immediate construction
of a cable between the United States and
the Philippines.
Nc general reorganization of the army
Will be recommended b. the secretary
at the present time. He will leave this
subject open for further consideration
until after the war in the Philippines
has been brought to a close. 1t will be
pointed out, however, that the retention
of the bulk OF he present army will be
necessary for some months to come. The
secretary will be very urgent in his rec
concentrations for the immediate con-
struction of a cable line to the Philip
pines. He will point out that the cheap
est route will be from Seattle direct ia
the Philippines, but he will also show
the d~esirability of connecting all our Pa
cific possessions by cable. He will SHOW
that the line between Seattle and the
Philippines can be built for about S.
600, coo. 1t will cost 2.0oc, COZ more if the
line is laid from San Francisco via Hon
olulu. During the past year the war de
partrnent alone spent more than $500 ,OOO
for cable tolls, and, with the amount paid
by the navy and state Z -. tments, more
than half million in all has been paid 70!
cable messages between this country and
the Philippines. The secretary will point
out these facts to show that it would be
economy for the government to build its
own cable.

Chicago, Nov. 2i.-John Tates, a
waiter in a restaurant at Oil West Madi-
son street, was stabbed fatally with an
umbrella.A customer got into a dispute
with rates over the price of a meal and
they came to blows. The customer raised
his umbrella to protect himself. Tates
forward and the customer jabbed
it into his breast. The sharp pointed
steel penetrated the walters lung. The
man was arrested. He gave his name as
Arthur Blessing and said he did it in
self defense. Tates is at the county hos
pital. where it is said he will die.
