THE ORIGIN or MINT JUL1ps.

me press agent Of a road house near
Covington, Ky, is sending out a story
mat the mint julip was born there in
the presence of John G. Carlisle and !
&. S. blackburn.
THIS is a fiction which the New York
World says, Us conscientious news
paper. 1T cannot permit to be fastened
upon ignorant minds. It is perversio.,
or history. 1t represents as a merely
modern invention an institution Of The
>>outh dating back to "the good old
cotNny times.''
In one Of his books the historian Nc
Master quotes from the diary OF an
t>nglishnar who Travelled in Virginia
early IN the eighteenth century, and
printed his Impressions. Even his IN
cultivated and prejudiced English pol
ate could not critcise the mint tulips
dainty Righteousness. but he did rri,-
lc1se the Vlrginians OF that ancient time
tor ln1biEing too many Of those seduc-
tive cOncoctions.
Thus history itself records that the
mint luiep was cherished adjunct Of
NarSlnlan life before ever Washington
was born. and there is absolutely no
proof that John Smith did not win The
clemency of Powhatan by construc; citing
mint julep for him on the morning
appointed for the great adventurer's

WHISTLES TO THE COOK.

cNeW Orleans TinleS-DenlOc: rat
A whistle attachment is the latest for
the successful egg boiler and timer 1t
appears that the average cook OF house
wife cannot depend upon her faculties
or experience for the correct timing OF
the cooking of negg. and consenuent-
ly devices without number have been
designed to assist her in this dclica.e
operation. The latest, which halls from
Halifax, consists of a wire receptacle Tor
the eggs, which is to be placed in posi-
ton in the holder. and in which it is
maintained by a bayonet catch The
holder is then placed in a saucepan Oe
cold water, and when the water has
been brought to the boiling point the
steam escapes through a small aper-
ture. This sets up a continuous whis-
tie, giving warning that the egg has
been cooked long enough.

DE P.4CHMfNN's RECITAL.
A Large Audience Grects tho Pianist o
His Return to New York.

A Large Audience Grects tho Pianist on
His Return to New York.
The musical season in New York was for
mally opencd last night when vladimir de
Pachmann. the Polish pianist. made his reap
pearance here after an absence OF three years.
He played at hsndessohn Hall, which was
filled until it could have held In spite OF
the reputation that NJ. de Pachmann left behind
him. there was cause for wonder at the si2e OF
the gathering which was there to greet him.
Piano rscitals appeal. as a rule. only to
the most musical section OF the public
and sudden outbursts OF applause at in
appropriate points last night suggested the
suspicion that not all tho listners were familiar
with what they were hearing. But the pianist
enjoyed the cordial welcome and showed this
pleasure in his usually Krotesque fashion.
Much OF the applause came from tho sincere
delight OF the audience. which found
as much ever to enjoy in his
art. Last night his performance was equal to
the best that he has given here in the past,and
that 10 saving that its quality was such as to
delight lovers Of the panoforte
There seemed indeed no noticeable change in
his art. The programme selected revealed his
briliancy as technician and made no new
demands on his intellectual or emotional pow
| ers. Half Of the selections were in tho field
that he has always excelled in and these in
cuded the Second Impromptu. three pre-
| ludes numbers q. 10 and %. three
| etudes. numbers .. 3 and g. the
familiar m azourka. opus ~. the waltz In fiat,

| opus 30. This was intended as a commemora-
| tion Of the fftieth anniversary OF the com
poser's death which foil on yesterday All OF
these Chopin number were played with the
pianists customary facility in the difficult pas
sage work. The preludes and Guides exhibited
| this phase OF II. de Pachmann's art In the most
| brilliant light, and the Gtude In G sharp minor
was dazzling in its triumph over technical
difficulties.
Some OF the other numbers on the pro-
gramme were familiar methods Of exhibiting
the vir.uosity OF panists. Mendslssohn's
Rondo Capriocioso was one OF these. and it was
given in a style to astonish some OF the stu
| dents who made up q largo part OF the audi
ence. or the Schumann numbers "Fogel G's

the annual freshman class group picture, Con-
trary to the annual method OF guying the
freshmen as they posed on the steps OF Wing

silence and the proctors and juniors were con-
graduating themselves on their remarkable
good behavior. but the innocent coIntenAncss

The sophs watched the preparations by the

selves even when one OF the unsophis ticated
freshmen pulled out pocket mirror to
arrange his hair Just as the photographer
lifted the cap from his camera the peaceful
scene was changed by a fusillade of hyS-pouRd
paper bags OF -four slightly dampened so as to
carry well, which was concentrated on the
freshmen from all sides. 1t was all done in q
minute But the transformation was remark
able and the freshmen group looked as II II

ALBANY. Oct 17.-Attorney- General Davies
to-day made public an opinion he has written.
at the request Of Gov. Roosevelt. on the legal
ity OF appon tments made since the Civil Ser
vice provision Of the Constitution was adopted
in 1894. The question arose over thirteen APP
point made by the State Superintendent
OF Public Buildings. twelve Of which were
made since Jan. l. 1895. Eight OF these en-
ployees are veterans These thirteen appoin-
tees are performing duty as laborers. watch
men, orderles and elevatormcn. The Attor-
ney-General finds that OF tho thirteen
appoin tmcnts. one only. that OF David Ftzger-
aid who was appointed before the Civil Service
provision OF the new Constitution was al opted
can continue to hold office. All the others were
appointed after the Constitution was adopted.
and none Of them passed any examination un-
der the provisions Of the Civil Service statutes
and rules. The Attorney General adds:
The provision in tho section of the Consti-
tuition relating to veterans, does not exempt
them from eXamlnat ions. either competitive or
non competitive The meaning OF the pro-
| vision is that when. as result Of the examina-
tions. a LEY is made up, consisting Of those

Two Of the bucks in the fallov deer enclosure

shivsred. The horns however. did not break.
The two fought about the pen. the rest OF the
deer standing at a distance and observing the
battle.
The red buck was no match for his oppone ont

Auctioneers and Buyer of Star Pointer Beth
Want Damages.

William B. Fasig & Co. who conducted an
auction sale OF horses In Madison Square Gar
den on March 8. 1897, had an action on trial
yesterday before Justice Smyth OF the Supreme
Court to recoverS 81 40 from Denton Pearsall as
damages for failing to take the PAGER Star
Pointer which was then knocked down to him.
When tho PAGER was put up the bids ran
along to $1,000 which was the bid Of Pear
sail. Tho previous bid was $4,000. Plaintiffs
alege that when the PAGER was knoched down
to Pearsall he signed the agreement prepared,
but failed to pay the % per cent. down as re-
quired by that agreement Plaintiffs say that
Pearsall rendered check for $50. which they
declined to accept, to bind the bargain. Subse-
qusntly the plaintiffs put the horse up again
and it was bought by James Murphy OF Chicago
for $4,000.
The plaintiffs sue for $500 on an assigned
claim OF Smith Il Mills. tho former owners OF
the PAGER. which they lost thr ouEh Pearsall
