See Rinehart the Dentists ad,
Pate Dc Foic Gras,

A recent Figaro gives very interest
ing description of how that delcacy
of delicacies pate de foie gras, is
made. To the ordinary man and wo-
man no conception of the torture to
which the poor, unfortunate goose is
put could possibly be agined.
The geese, when about months old
are taken from the pastures and placed
in an underground cellar, where broad,
slanting stone slabs stand in rows. and
are bound fast to the tables. They are
literally crucified.
Feet, wings and bodies are spread
out and bound by bands, so that only
the neck is let free. AS may be mag
ined the animal struggles with all it's
might against this stretching, till, after
days of vain endeavor to free itself
from the bands and it's position, its
powers of resistance are overcome. and
dull resignation, broken only by its
low cries, takes possession of it, Two
months must pass away before death
brings relief.
The animals meanwhile are crammed
with dumplings made of a dough of
buCllwheat. chestnuts and stewed
maize. Every two hours, six times a
day, they receive from three to five
dumping pills, which in time become
so sweet to the tortured creatures that
they stretch their necks to be cram
med.
The most difficult task is to determine
the right moment for death. Those
who die of their own accord are lost
to the liver factory; therefore, a kind
of study is needed to see when the cup
of agony is trimming full and the
liver is ripe for taking. The bodies of
such ripe ones are like pumpkins
where ordinarily fingers are buried in
flesh and fat nothing but skin and bone
is found. The livers have absorbed
all the strength and juices.

the former pastor, who was removed by
Archbishop katzer, is to be revived. An

pastor to pay rent for the time he was
an occupant Of the priest house and real

The case will come up for trial the lat

Father Hellstern was made defendant
in suit in a justice court in 1896 to

found for the plaintiff. The case was APP
pealed to the circuit court and after
wards tried in Waukesha county, SINH
lar verdict beng returned. From this
Father Hellstern appealed to the Su-
preme court and he states in his answer
that the case IS still pending ald asks
that the present case for damages be
dismissed.
The complaint of the plaintiff congre
cation charges that Judgment has been
entered and Father Hellstern vacated
the parsonage in May, 1898, and rent is
from his charge by the archbishop up to
the time he vacated the premises. In the
answers of the defendant, Father He'll
stern, and his three sureties, also ramed
as defendants, a denial is entered to the
effect that the church is not a Roman

ROADS ARE NOT LIABLE.
Cannot Hold Street Car Companies
Responsible for Accidents.
CAUSED BY POLES,
Judge Good1and Decides that Cities
Granting Right to Erect Poles
Are Responsible.

Neenah. Wis, Nov. 49, Special IA
decision rendered by Judge John Good
land at Appleton yesterday was that
electric railway companies are not re-
sponsble nor liable for accidents which
arise from collision with poles which are
maintained in the streets under a fran
chise granted by the cities.
The decision was in the case Of w. Z.
Aetchum Of this city against the Fox
River Valley Electric Railway company
In October, 1898, Ketchum sustained a
fracture Of both legs and other perma-
nent injuries, by being thrown from his
wagon, while his team was frightened
but not absolutely Interchangeable and
dashed against a pole of the Fox River
Valley line standing in the curb at the
approach of the bridge crossing the Fox
river at Appleton. Suit was brought
against the company for damages.
Several points were involved in the
case. 1t was questioned first, whether
the pole was really an obstruction;
whether or not the franchise given by the
city of Appleton to the street railway
company granting the right to place poles
near the curb protected the railway COM
pany or not; and whether in any event
the street railway company was liable.
Judge GoOdland, on motion of non-suit
BY the defendants attorney, granted the
motion ordering Judgment against the
pialIIiH Tor costs. Judge GOOdland based
his Judgment principally on the fact that
the pole III question was not the proXi-
mate cause Of the injury and therefore
the plalntlH could not recover. The case
IS very important for, according to Judge
Goodland.s ruling, the city is responsible
for any effect CT obstruction on the public
Highways it being the citys primary
duty to provide against such obstacles.
The question was, can q city, under the
state law and under franchise granted
by the city, protect the street railway
company against liability. Judge Good
land ruled that the railway company was
not liable for maintaining their poles in
St IS under franchise where injuries
ai4.,t from collision with the same.

SCHLEl'S UNIQUE GIFT.
Loving Cup and D nner Set Made
of Coins from a Spanish
BattleSh %.

Baltimore, Md, Nov. 1S-Ad miral
Schley is to be presented with a unique
testimonial by friends from ali over the
country. The idea is to give him mag
nifcent loving cup and a complete silver
dinner set made from coins taken from
the Spanish ship Cristobal Colon, which
was destroyed at Santiago.
The set of plate win cost when com
pleted, about $1,000. Every piece will be
made from Spanish coins taken from the
Spanish cruiser Cristobal Colon The
Spanish admiral, Cervera, had all the
gold on the ships safely taken care of
when the battle started, and little of it
was found by Americans. The Spanish
paymaster's safe on the Colon, however,
was filled with silver coins, which were
too heavy to be removed on the instant.
Recovered by Divers.
When American divers began to work
OF the wrecks they found it hidden away
ia the large iron safe. By the usage of
war it was the property of the United
States government. The iron chest was
sent to Norfolk, Va, and was purchased
there by Mr. Ffoulke, who had in view
then plan like the present one.
Since then many relic hunters have at
tempted to buy the treasures, but they
have not been successful. In order that
there might be nc doubt as to the au-
thenticity of the money, MIR. Ffoulke got
q certificate of its genuneness from the
government. This VIII be given to the
admiral with the silver pieces 1t is
thought that the loving cup and the rest
OF the set will require from 1000 to $500
ounces of silver when completed.
In order to carry out his idea of hon
oring the rear-admiral Mr. Ffoulke
wrote letters to personal friends in diff
fcrent parts of the country, asking them
to get subscriptions from the personal
friends of Admiral Schley. Edward
Hambleton, Baltimore banker, fur
thered the scheme in Baltimore and
Maryland.
He succeeded in obtaining twenty-nine
of the seventy subscribers to the fund in
Maryland. There are seventy persons
on the list, each one having contributed
S1OO The difficulty was not to obtain
the money, but to prevent the persons
from being too liberal.
Capt. Clark May be Honored.
Admiral Schley interposed an objection
to having the gift too elaborate He
made a proposal that may be carried out
by the committee. The admiral sug-
gested that Capt. Clark, the commander
of the battleship Oregon, should be pre-
scented with punch bowl or with din
ncr set. Admiral Schley's suggestion
found cOnSldefaDle 1aAof' anu 1t VIM
probably be accepted. The silver service
for the admiral is expected to be finished
in about seven months. In Il short time
the admiral will take command of the
South Atlantic squadron, and it IS desired
to present him with the magnificent gift
= soon as possible.
then the presentation is made, Mr..
