jury decided to-day, after full discus
sion of the subject, to get after buck
ct shops and "blind pig" keepers dur
ing the coming week. Judge Baker
instructed the jury specially as to

of bucket shops for some time, and it
is intimated that these offshoots OF the
Board of Trade are fourishing to a
considerable extent in the downtown
district Recent raids upon blind
pigs" in prohibition districts will also
be brought to the attention of the jury
during the coming week and at least
fifty indictments are expected to be
voted.

es on the list who were to have appear
ed to testify against George R. Carroll,
former cashier of the Standard Loan
and Investment Company, came pc
fore the jury. Embezzlement was the
charge. The witnesses heard We're:
Edward E. Gore, 21s LaSalle street;
Policeman w. G. Davis, OF the Stan-
ton avenue station, and Neil Lyke. IL

THE COM MISSION
On Civil Service Defines It's Posi-
ton on Mark Hanna's Campaign
Assessment Plan.


WASHINGTON October "a long
official statement reviewing the legal
phases of the political assessment plan
and holding that the soliciting of cam
paign funds by letter comes clearly
within the remedial provisions of the
civil service law, was made public by
the Civil Service Commission tonight.
The commission made the statement be-
cause of circulars sent out by w. F.
Burdell, as treasurer of the finance
committee Of the Ohio Republican Elk
ecutive Committee, soliciting contribu-
lions from federal employees. The COM
mission says the Ohio circulars bring
up clearly the question so long await
ing judicial determination as to wheth-
er soliciting of contributions for politi-
cal purposes by means of letters adj
dressed to federal officers or employees
at their Office constitutes an offense
under the twelfth section Of the civil
service act.
The commissioners ruling or brief
now made public was submitted by
President Proctor, of the commission,
to ex-senator George F. Edmunds, of
Vermont, who was chairman of the
same Judiciary Committee at the time
the civil service act was passed. The
latter in his opinion, to which the
commission gives particular signifi-
canoe, says:
Il entirely agree with the conclusions
stated in the brief | think it is clear
that the solicitation of such political
aids by means of the postoffice is dis
tinctly within the prohibition of Sec.
XII. of the act to which you refer

COMMANDMENT OF MAFEKING,

CAPE TOWN, October ga dis
patcn from Mafeking, dated October 90
says:
"A bombardment of the city was
commenced by the Beers at TAO
o'clock this morning from a range of
two and half miles by a battery of
three Krupp guns throwing seven, nine
and twelve pound explosion shells.
AT the beginning the craftsmanship
was erratic, but ultimately the gunners
got the range and sent number of
shells into the town.
Comparatively little damage was
done. A convent which had been con-
verted into hospital was the chief
sufferer, three of the shells striking the
building. The ammunition used by the
Beers was apparently Of an inferior
quality. There were no casualties.
"The British returned only one shot,
which being we'll directed, disabled one
of the enemy's guns.
after three hours the Beers sent an
envoy to ask if the town was prepared
to surrender Col. Baden-Powell re-
piled in the negative, but the Smelling
of the town was not resumed
A later dispatch from Mafeking, dated
October "a, says:
"The Beers are in possession of the
water works and have cut off the sup
ply. This occasions no anxiety, be-
cause ample supplies are available in
tanks and wells.
During the sortie this evening the
British encountered the enemy three
miles off to the north. The Beers had
apparently been warned and returned
our fire in earnest with we'll handled
machine gun. AS our men had no in
tention of pressing an attack, they re-
tired Immediately.
Commander Sydney Webb was Sc
verely wounded and left behind during
the retreat, but was afterward rescued
by Trooper Stevens. The conduct OF
our men was splendid. The enemy's
loss could not be ascertained."

HOW THEY WERE CAPTURED.

DURBIN, October 2S.-(Delayed in
transmission.)-The following official
account of the capture of the squadron
of the Eighteenth Hussars by the Beers
is given by Captain Hardy:
after the battle at Glencoe three
squadrons of the Eighteenth Hussars,
with a Maxim, a company of the Dub
lin Fusiliers and a detachment OF
mounted infantry, Colonel Moeller'com-
handing, kept under cover of a ridge
north of the camp and at $50 p. m.
moved down toward Sandspruit.
ION reaching the open the British
force was shelled by the enemy, but
without casualties. Colonel Moeller led
his men around Talana hill in a south
easterly direction across Wants Drift
road, captured several Beers and saw
the Boer ambulances retiring. Then,
with Squadron B Of the Hussars, the
Maxim and mounted infantry, he cross
ed the Dundee-Vryheid railway and APP
preached a strong force of the enemy,
who opened fire, wounding Lieutenant
Lachlan.
Our cavalry retreated across Wants
Drift, the Beers pressing. Colonel
Moeller held the ridge for some time,
but on the enemy enveloping his right
he fell back across the Spruit. The
Maxim stuck in a water hole. Lieu
tenant Cape was wounded, three of the
detachment were killed and the horses
of Major Greenville and Captain Pol
lock were shot under them.
"The force finally reformed on a
ridge On the northwest, which was held
for some time. While Captain Hardy
was attending Lieutenant Crum, who
had been wounded. Colonel Moeller's
force retired into a defile, apparently
Intending to return to camp around
Impati mountain, but it was not seen
Rfterward."

THE GISM0NDA BODICE.

A Popular Design Which Grows in Favor
Because of Its Simple Beauty and Sub
dued Coloring.
The riot of color is subsiding and as
winter advances gowns and bodices
grow quieter in tone. There is an al
most universal desire to cling to sub
dued shades, and for the next three or
four months violent cclors will not be
seen upon the street except in Innings,
and in these the widest latitude is al
lowed.
A delightful example of the soft
toned bodices is the Gismonda. 1t is
developed in the newest shade of pink,
Gismonda pink, which is very pale
rose.
The Gismonda waist is covered with
lace, as shown in the illustration. 1t is
tight fitting and has vest of Gismonda
pink tulle. The sleeves are of plain
satin and the belt is also of the same
material

LAYER CAKES.
These as rule are more popular than
loaf cakes perhaps because they are
subject to an indefinite variety Of fill
ing. As they do not keep as well as
the loaves, it is well to bake them only
a day or two before they are to be
eaten The layers must be baken in a
hot, but steady oven. and they must be
covered with paper II they show signs
OF browning too quickly, lest they
cook on the top and remain raw on the
bottom.
CREAM CAKE.
Half a cup of butter, one and half
cups of powdered sugar, half cup Of
milk, six tablespoonfuls of water
whites of three eggs beaten light; about
two cups of prepared flour; add more
| if necessary.
Rub butter and sugar to cream, add
! the milk and water, the whites and sift-
ed -four. Bake at once.
Make a.cream of cupful OF hot milk
thickened with two teaspoonfuls OF
| cornstarch dissolved in little cold
| milk. Upon the beaten yolks OF the
| three eggs mixed with half cup or
sugar. pour the hot milk, return to the
| fire, stir until thick and smooth, re-
move from the range, and flavor with
vanilla. Set away to cool, and when
| the LAYERS of cake are cold fill with
this mixture, and sprinkle powdered
sugar over the topmost layer.
ORANGE CAKE.
Rub to a cream two cups of sugar
and half cup of butter, add the yolks
of five eggs and the whites of three
| reserving the remaining whites for the
filling. Beat in three cupfuls of pre-
pared flour, and flavor the cake with
and grated peel of one orange. Bake
| to a golden brown.
To make the filing, stir two cups or
| powdered sugar into the unbeaten
| whites of two eggs, whip until very
light, then add the juice and half the
grated peel of an orange, with dash
OF lemon juice Cover all the layers
| with this icing, adding a little more
sugar for the top layer.
MOCHA CAKE.
Cream together two cups Of sugar
and one cup Of butter, add five beaten
eggs and a cup of rich milk. Stir in
three cups of -four sifted with two
teaspoonfuls of baking powder, and
bake in layers.
MOCHA FILLING.
In a double boiler heat cup Of
cream Ito which a pinch of soda has

spoonful of ccrnstarch dissolved in
little milk. Stir into this thick cream
a gill of very strong black coffee. Re-
move the mixture from the fire and
pour it slowly upon the eggs beaten
light with half a cup Of sugar. Mix,
and return to the fire, stirring 1t until
| it reaches the boiling point; add half
cup of chopped English walnut kern
els, and set away to cool. Put this
cream between the layers-covering
the top layer with a plain icing flaw

used than is usually required for
plain frosting. A pretty effect is pro-
duced by laying halved English wal
