thing else within reach of the cook that is
edible went into 1t, but what's the odds
since the result is delicious?
About the only difference between break
fast and dinner is that eggs figure at the
former meal. The Cubans, like their Latin
cousins in France and Italy, know a thing
or two in the line of egg cooking, and
particularly in omelette making, which
colder blooded Anglo Saxons can never
master. 1t is an old saying that only per-
sons of blue blood and refinement can com
pound a proper salad; and equally true is
ii that the art and science OF omelettes
belong exclusively to the poetic races. 1
presume that you might get an omelette
plain" in Cuba by giving such an order
to the amazed cook; but l have never seen
one here unadorned, or unmixed with
something besides the eggs to give it color,
beauty. and favor. Tomatoes, peas, or
potatoes most frequently enter into it, or
fruit, nuts, beans. onions. meat, rice, or
raisins.
Fish of the Tropfc Seas.
Fish never follows soup, as with US, but
is served late in the Cuban menu, And
such fish? Big or little, they are always
Drowned to delicate perfection in oil and
served with lines, or in some sayory mess
of tomatoes, wine, and the inevitable SAT-
from. The fish market of any Cuban sea-
port is its most interesting sight That of
Havana. called the Pescaderfa, (the word
derived from Pescado. fish,, is great stone
building. mostly roof, resting upon arches
supported by pillars, the sides being open
TO secure ventilation. The market is a
Government institution and monopoly, and
the piscatorial display cannot be surpassed,
and seldom equaled In any part of the
world Not only does the Cuban coast
furnish a wonderful variety of the fnny
tribes but fishermen come In regularly
from the border of Florida, Yucatan, and
the Tortugas. There are shell-fsh of every
description, snake-like eels black and yell
low Spanish angle-hsh, the So called but
terfiies of the sea-" beautiful dolphins,
bright bluish-green Bahama turbet, squir-
rel fish of a brilliant scarlet, parrot fish,
sharks, enormous porpoises to be convert

Sea and the Mexican Gulf, even Goldfish
from far away Nantucket and salmon from
the Columbia-but great many other COM
mon food supplies, which might Just as
well be raised in the island, come from
afar. Spanish vessels bring wines and
olives from Barcelona; queer Portuguese
craft discharge cargoes of onions, garlic,
and -four. Halifax sends onions, cabbages,
potatoes, apples, and salted fish; South
American brigantines with the general air
of piratical craft, bring wheat, jerked beef,
sweet oil, bacon, lard, figs, olives, and
brandy; from Mexico come most of the bulls
for fighting in the Plaza de Torros, and in
cidentally beef while American and Canad-
ian vessels bring about four fifths of the en-
tire food supply consumed in Cuba.
Speaking of odd but extremely palatable
dishes compounded by Cuban cooks over
their queer little "estufas" containing a
handful of charcoal here are a few most
commonly met Beans cooked with saus
age and shrimps, colored golden with SAT-
from, for an entree; stewed tomatoes, mixed
with chopped boiled eggs; pigeons, seas

The project to purchase and place in
operation the Hobbs glass house in the
Eighth Ward has eidently not occa-
stoned the enthusiasm among the di-
pany that it has with the local promo
tiers of the enterprise. When President
L. C. Ripley, of the T. s. was here
on Tuesday last, he promised to call a
meeting of the directors at Pittsburg
on Friday to set price on the plant,
and communicate the result of the de-
alterations to the Wheeling promoters
at once. This program appears to have
geen carried out and yesterday Senator
N. B. Scott, who has been conducting
negotiations on the part OF Wheeling
capitalists, stated that he had heard
from President Ripley and that figures
have been submitted on the Hobbs
deal. The Senator when seen by the
Register last evening just before his
departure for Morgartown to- be pres
ent at the Chadwick event, said:
Eyes, it is correct that | have very
recently received a communication from
Ripley in which he submits the price
which the United States directors have
set upon the Hobbs factory. They ask
$4,000 for the plant and at the same
time reserve the three lots adjoining
the Schmulbach property. They also
reserve the moIds, tools, presses and
cutting shop fixtures. In other words
SOS, 900 is asked for the real estate
wholly and completely dismantled."
When requested for an opinion as to
the fairness of the offer Mr.. Scott adj
ded:
"The price asked is entirely too much
for the plant, as any experienced glass
man will tell you. l am quite certain
l will not ask any of my friends to go
into the venture upon such basis.
This will not, however, terminate out
efforts to secure the Hobbs, as | pro-
pose submitting counter proposition
at an early date. How the United
States Company will treat 1t, OF course,
have no way of knowing"
Mr. Scott intimated that he believed
the exorbitant figures had been submit
ted tentatively and that the United
States people when they learn that the
Wheeling parties will not submit to any
such hold up" will be willing to get
down to business.
1t is legitimate to surmise that the
people who are willing and anxious to
promote the glass industry on the
South Side, if the Hobbs project proves
impracticable, may turn their attention
to the erection of a new plant. There
are several available sites in the Eighth
Ward, and it is certain a new factory
at first cost would be more inviting to
capital than the Hobbs factory, at the
fictitious figures fixed by the present
owners. However, as Mr.. Scott says,
negotiations are not yet off with the
United States Company, and something
tangible may yet come Of it.
