QUEEN v1CToRIA's KITCHEN.
1t Is Unique and Presided Over by
n French Chef

1t Is Unique and Presided Over by
French Chef.
The royal kitchen of Queen Victoria at
Windsor Castle is unique little world in
itself. 1t is one of the few parts of the
castle that have survived since the origin
al structure was erected in a cliff of
chalk by William the Conqueror. 1t Is
interesting to know that the queen Of
England has a French chef-M. Louis
Chevriot. He is assisted by four master
cooks, an assistant cook, a roasting cook,
two yeomen of the kitchen and four ap-
prentices There are two confectioners,
with three assistants; pastry cook, with
an assistant, and two pastry maids, two
bakers, two coffee room women, five
scourers, three kitchen maids, two
green office" men, a stoFekeeper, besides
a comptroller and various clerks, messen-
gers and helpers.
when you first open the curious and
very ancient door, writes a visitor, you
are nearly blinded by the beauty and
brilliancy of the copper pots and pans,
and batterie de cuisine, which entirely en-
circles the kitchen. At each end are
enormous roasting ranges, shallow, but
fierce with jacks and spits complete 1
have no words to convey to you the vast
extent of the great dripping pan-I say
pan, not pans, as only the one great range
in the west end IS in ordinary use. The
meat screen is enormous, dating from the
time of Henry VIII, oak, lined with
metal, and with the Tudor badge, the
portcullis and arms Of the reign as orna-
mentations.
There is no smell of cooking. The roof
is vast and, moveover-aH honor to the
chef-there is no noise. Certainly there is
the gentle half-chuckle, half-sigh of the
jacks and chains. Now and then frying
pan splutters, but the whole number of
cooks, kitchen maids and servers of all
sorts know their work and do it almost
noiselessly. This number of workers I'M
organized would create a Babel. Here it
seems as if Merlin were still reigning
supreme.
THE work goes by magic. Why one
cook darts at a spit at a certain moment
and takes off one joint and leaves two on
the spit is a mystery, so far as 1 am con-
cerned. The day 1 was allowed to visit
the kitchen the servants hall dinner was
being dished up. Deft hands seized legs
of mutton from the spits; ladies Of gravy
were poured from the transcendental
dripping pan, and off that dinner started.

on that memorable day when McArthur's
DIVISION started north from Malolos in
the morning of April "a Maj. Eager was
IN command OF the First battalion, Mai
MuiIoro being In charge of the regiment
during the temporary absence of Col
Stotsenperg, and throughout the entire
DAY ana lar into the night, when the
Nepraskans were dying and wounded by
the scores, Maj. Eager was always at his
post encouraging and cheering his men
by his tireless energys. During the en-
gagement, while giving message to his
orderly MAJ. Eager was shot through
the ioot, the bullet taking off the heel
u MS shoe and lodging in his instep.
Inc orderly was shot down by his side
LIEUTENANT COLONEL.
1t was In the same battle that the gall
Iaht Col. Stotsenberg gave up his life
WmIe leading his regiment through
perfect hail of bullets against the Fill
pinos. After the death of Col Stotsen-
ourg Maj. milford was promoted to the
colonelcy and Maj. Eager, on June 81
1883, was commissioned as lieutenant col
onel OF the regiment
Thus in little more than wear of
active service this brave officer returns
TO Nebraska this month covered with
honorss well earned and with a record
equa4ed by no man in the war with Spain.
Enllstlng with his company as a pri-
Vate In May, 1898, he has successfully held
every office in each grade up to lieutenant
colonel, and every promotion has been
merited and came to him as a reward
for bravery and gallantry
During the time of his service Col
Eager has never been excused from duty
either on account of sickness or pleasure,
ana until the day he received the wound,
which will perhaps cripple him for life,
he has always been with his regiment,
sharing their prtvations and with them
winning undying fame.
Col. Eager, when he returns to Nebras-
ka next month to again take up the du-
ties Of civil life, will resume the conduct
of his newspaper, the Nebraska indie
pendent, published in this city, the Off
cial organ Of the populists of this state,
the management of which he relinquished
to his brother, Earl Eager when he
shouldered his gun to avenge the Maine
a little over year ago. In civil life Mr..
Eager is a genial, boyish fellow, heartily
liked by all his acquaintance and re-
spected by everyone in Lincoln.

battle, which had for ten minutes been
SO fiercely fought.
After short rest Peters again attacked
the snake. The fight became as furious as
at its start, but 1t did not last long, for
the two contestants were too tired to
keep up the battle.
Peters turned and started homeward,
while the snake, overcome by exhaustion,
sank in the underground.
The next day Peters visited the place
with bear trap, which he baited and set.
He said it was no use trying to catch the
snake with anything but a bear trap, for
it was assuredly the largest of all reptiles
of the state. In fact, he was convinced
that 1t was the progenitor of all the
snakes who do business in this state.

AIR FULL OF BULLETS.
Two Alleged burglars Bagged at
Prospect Park.

Two Alleged burglars Ragged at
Prospect Park.
There was regular man hunt in Pros
pect park, Minneapolis, early last even
ing and Oscar Jensen regards it as a
piece of extra good luck on his part
that he was not killed or wounded. Citi-
zens of Prospect park say that Oscar
Jensen and Axel Marks, whose right
name is Olson, were burglarizing two
houses owned by men named Nelson and
Johnson, in Prospect park. They were
discovered at their work and took to
their heels The alarm was given. One
citizen secured a rifle; others secured
clubs and they gave the two burglars
merry chase and finally captured them
on University avenue.
The bullets came SO close to me
could feel the wind as they whistled
by" said Jensen last night when he told
his story to Detective Joe Lawrence.
Upon capturing the two men the citi-
zens sent word to Minneapolis police
headquarters and the Third precinct pa.
troll wagon was sent to the scene of the
capture, which IS across the city line
and in Ramsey county and st. Paul. The
two prisoners were brought to the Third
precinct station and the st. Paul police
were then notified.
Jensen gave his name as Fred Wilson
However, Detective Lawrence refused to
have things that way, as he recognized
him as Oscar Jensen, captured a few
years ago for attempting to burgIarize
the home of A. D. Thompson and sent
to the state reformatory for the offense
The quondam Wilson then frankly adj
mitted his identity. Marks, as the other
young man gave his name, was subse,
quently identified as a man named Olson
recently released from the reformatory,
where he was sent for wheat stealing
Both young men were turned over to the

snake.
The serpent not only showed the most
astonishing agility, but showed that 1t
had genuine courage and could fight like
a cornered panther. It gave Mr.. Peters
the prettiest tussle for points history has
probably ever known.
1t is to be added that after two fierce
rounds the fight ended in a draw with
both contestants thoroughly winded

outbreak of the war with Spain, but
among the 1920 men of the Fighting First
who left Nebraska a little over a year
ago not one has distinguished himself as
has Frank D. Eager, of this city.
Born on a farm near Lincoln twenty
eight years ago, he soon became accus-
toned to the hardships with which every
pioneer of this Western country has to
contend. AT the age of fifteen he entered
the state university in this city in 1887
and graduated with honors in 1892
1t was here that he first imbibed the
first military spirit, entering the cadet
battalion as a private and winning
medal in the annual spell-down the first
year. and in the second he won his
shoulder straps. Sept. Is he was elected
captain of Company D, of the cadets,
company composed entirely of the new
students, but by constant drill and effec-
tive discipline they were enabled year
later to capture the cup offered in COM
petitive drill and became the color COM,
pany over the companies that had been
drilling for two, three and four years. He
was chosen as first lieutenant in a picked
company which was to go to Omaha that
year and drill in competitive drill with
the regulars and Of the many crack COM
panies from all over the Western states
this company received second place. In
1893 Capt. Eager was appointed command
ant of the Worthington military academy
and served as such until the fall of 1894.
JOINS NATIONAL GUARDS.
Upon the organization of Company D,
Nebraska national guards Capt. Eager
enlisted as private, but his signal worth
as a drillmaster brought him to the front,
and Sept. 4, 1896, he was elected first lieu
tenant of the company. When the First
regiment was called into service by Presi-
dent Mckinley Mr.. Eager was promoted
to captaincy and assigned to the com
mand of Company H, First Nebraska vol
unteer infantry The regiment left May
15 1885, for San Francisco and sailed for
Manila early in July.
During all the stirring scenes that fol-
lowed the occupation of the islands by
our troops, the First Nebraska regiment
was in the thick of the fight, and in the
advance on Malolos bore the brunt Of
the battle, sustaining a heavier loss than
any other organization in the Philippines
For bravery in action Capt. Eager was
on April 9, 1899, commissioned major, and

ployed was simple. An ordinary messen-
ger slip would be filled out by a messen-

and initiated properly, the messenger re-
cefved 90 per cent of his days earnings
from the company.
messenger boy would go into the Of
fee, say that he could get days work
at such firm and receive slip This
was the slip he would turn in at night.
One firm received a bill for $3.50 In May.

result only S. worth of authentic slips
came in with a bill where the forged slips
