On the death of Queen Margaret the

Pie la Marlborough.
1t is very nice idea to serve these
pies in individual dishes as an entree.
For these the pastry tops my be made
and even baked the day before. The
best possible short paste for chicken
pie is made as follows: Take a quart
of we'll sifted pastry flour. seasoned
with a teaspoonful OF salt, and a scant
cup full or ice cold water. Put flour
upon the molding board, make a hollow
in the cen and pour the water slowly
into ii, working the water gently into
the -four toward the center. being very
careful not TO allow ii to break down
the walls OF -four. When you have
moulded this into a perfectly smooth.
elastic mass. roll it into a sheet as near
as possible 10 an exact square. In the
meantime have a pound OF butter with
the salt well worked out of IL chilling
in ice water Now take this from the
water mould it into a smooth fiat mass,
and lay it in the center of the dough.
Fold the dough over first from the
sides, then from the ends. Roll this out
carefully so that the butter may not
break through the paste, and fold
again, this time only the ends. Lay this
upon smooth pan and rest upon the
ice Proceed with other arrangements
for the dinner. such as cracking nuts,
wiping apples. arranging fruit. etc.
When the paste has rested half an hour
roll and fold again, and again lay upon
ice. Repeat this process four times. /
after which roll out paste into a smooth
thin sheet; cut gently and lightly with
a thin paste cutter of sufficient size to
cover a commodious party pan. Brush
these pastry tops over lightly with
beaten egg, and bake for twenty-five
minutes, when they are ready for the
morrow's use. Boil the day before three
chickens weighing about eight pounds
apiece.
The next morning take two quarts of
mashed potatoes, well seasoned with
butter, salt and pepper, and add four
well beaten eggs. Work these well to-
gether until you have a perfectly
through sieve. Mould into balls about
the size of a closed hand. and then pro-

 For few minutes from every window on the second and third floors girls leaped one after the other. Some lodged in the arms of those below, but many struck the ground They were picked up and rapidly removed to the hospitals or their homes.
 Many of the girls who escaped by the stairways and fire escapes were badly burned, but none of them was, 1t Is believed, seriously injured.
 It is not known how the dead met their fate, but it is believed they fainted and then were burned to death.
 The fire traveled with great rapidity, owing to the infiamable stock in the build. ing. By those whosa the progress of the fire 1t is considered miraculous that there was such small loss of life.
 There is much criticism among the em- ployes because of the fact that the screens in the window except those at the fire es- capes were securely nailed to the window sills. The girls had to break these screens before they could get out to leap to the ground. Some of the employees say that the doors were locked as a rule after the em- ployes were in the building.
 The fire was caused by the explosion of gasoline in the singeing room. The loss is estimated at about $275 600 on which there Is an insurance of $150, 900.

HAS VAIN IDEAS
Former Spanish Governor Says Cuba
 Will be Part of United States

Havana, December 7.--Senor Ferdinand de Castro, former civil governor of Havana, in the. preface of an edition of all his speeches and writings says;
 "If the Spaniards, who made their mis- takes and errors, deserved to lose the island, the revolutionists, by their eXcesses and lack of judgment, deserve to lose in- dependence. Cuba can avoid chaos and dis order only as she is willing to put aside vain ideas of empty independence and to recognize her true position as part of the great democratic republic of the United States."
 General Gomez has protested to the au- thorities regarding a story published here to the effect that he had said that he would sweep the Americans from the island, the fact being that at the meeting alluded to General Gomez, although present, did not speak.

Beading, Pa, December 7.-One of the most appalling fires that has ever visited this city occurred today when the extensive hosiery mill of Nolde and Horst company took fire, destroying the plant, causing the death of two and possible three persons and injury to about sixty other employees of the company.
 Two badly burned corpses were recovered from the ruins this evening and could not be Identified It is believed that one other body is in the debris while the firemen and police authorities are inclined to think that more than one is in the ruins.
