A GOLDFISH DINNER.
nnlethinE That Is Hardly known
Outside of the New Eng
land States.

There has been fashionable fad for
'ld-fashioned colonial cookery, and the
Goldfish dinner" of New England has
oeen one Of these REVEALS Outside OF
he New England states this kind Of 4
Inner is hardly known. Even in New
England the people Of the coast be-
SIEVE that this dinner cannot be prop
eriy cooked away from the sound Of
me waves" by New Englanders so I'M
fortunate as to live in the interior.
This dinner consists of salt Goldfish with
egg sauce and served with various
vegetables. Usually potatoes, bcets,
carrots, onions and sometimes turnips
are served with this dinner. The cod
fish is the only fish served with this
dinner. A whole cod is selected. a
dun fish, Miss Parloa, certainly one Of
our best authorities on New England
cookery, tells us, is always preferred
BY New Englanders to the white fish.
The difference in color is produced by
difference in the process Of curing.
The process that gives dun fish pro-
luces richer as well as 4 darker fish.
The night before this dinner is to be
served scrub and wash carefully the
Goldfish selected, using brush. Cut
off the fins and tail and soak the fish
with the skin side up in an abundance
ST clear, cold water. Put the beets,
carrots and potatoes to soak, each by
themselves if they are winter vege
tables; if summer roots are used this
is not necessary.
The next day put the fish, still skin
side up, in clear, cold water in {. large
pan or fish kettle, and let it slowly come
to the boiling point, but do not let it
boil. Set it where it will keep hot,
without actually boiling, for five hours.
The fish ct the end of this time will
still be- whole, but when touched with
q knife on serving it will break Snto
tender gelantinous fakes. Serve it,
without breaking it, on huge Plat
ter, heated for the purpose. Put about
n quarter of pound Of nice salt pork
into little cubes and fry them slowly
until they are brown and crisp, and
serve them with the fish. To make the
egg sauce to use with the Goldfish melt
half-cup Of butter, stir in table
sPooHAuA u l1ouI anu auu SLOWLY cup
Of boiling water. Let it soak over the
fire until it boils. Remove it immedi-
ately. Add two eggs which have been
boiled 20 minutes, cooled and chopped
fine, and half teaspoonful Of salt and
+ half q saltspoonful of pepper. The
5eets, onions, carrots and other vegc-
tables served with this dinner are
boiled. The carrots are served in cream
sauce, as are the onions. The potatoes
are boiled dry and mealy, and the
beets are boiled and seasoned with salt,
pepper and butter. Remnants Of the
fish and potatoes left after this meal
ere made into fishballs. Sometimes
scraps Of pork are added to the fish

HARD FIGHT WITH SHARKS.
Two California Fishermen Have 9
Thrilling Experience and Mar
row Escapes.

Guy Ames and W. A. Graham, two
fishermen at Newport Beach, Cal, had
thrilling experience the other day
with two monster sharks while fish
Ing with heavy lines fastened ashore.
The men were cruising about the lines
in small slliff, when they discovered
that two of the lines had hooked two
sharks, one fully - feet and the other
more than 20 feet long. Having no fire
arms, the men concluded to try to stun
the monsters by rowing close to where
ttsy had risen to the surface and strik-
ing them on the head with heavy
club. This was done to the larger one,
but it was almost fatal mistake for
both fishermen. One Infatuated deep
sea monster dashed and churned the
water about the boat, striking it sew
erai times with such force that the
fishermen expected to see it rent into
splinters. At every opportunity the
club descended upon the head of the
shark, for the fishermen then realized
that it was life or death fight.
The blows from the club came SO
hard and SO fast that the efforts Of the
sharks were redoubled, when the shore
line gave way. Finding themselves
free, the man-eating sharks both start
ed seaward with the small boat in tow.
The craft shot through the water at
a terrific speed, estimated by Ames and
Graham at so knots, but they steadied
the skiff, momentarily expecting to
reach Honolulu, when finally the larger
OF the two sharks, with an extra spurt,
tore loose from the hook and Clisap-
0eared.
The smaller shark stopped, appar-
emily exhausted, when the fishermen,
taking advantage Of the opportunity
offered them, rowed alongside, dealing
it terrible blow on the head with the
club and stabbing 1t several times in
vital spots with a lance fixed on the
end of pole. The shark was too big
to tow back to thu shore, SO they eS-
.tracted its liver, witch yielded six gal
Ions of oil. The me41 were three hours
rowing back over the distance which the
team Of sharks had towed them in less
than eight minutes. Both the men
aver that with team of trained sharks
they believe they could run over to
Manila with hurry order in less
than three Gays.

Mr.. Sanbora of Newport, presented toe

Speaker.
Mr.. san59rn Of Newport: The high
honor has been given me to present to
You the claims OF Penobscot county for
the Speakership of this House, and 10
nominate u candidate for that listin-
guished office. We have undertaken this
with the greater confidence because We
believe that logically Penobscot county
should fill this office at this time, and fur
ther, because we know thai her candidate
Is worthy and in every way fitted to hold
it. II was. and is. our position, that there
should be such a distribution of the vari-
Gus State offices among the several coun-
ties that each section should receive Its.
due proportion of them in a series of
Years according to its wealth and p0pula-
ton. We believe that this is already set
tied policy. Such a rotation of office
would certainly be equitable and Just.

If you accept the fairness and business of
this proposition, we think You will agree
with us that. if the pendulum for the
past few years has been swinging out
toward the central and southwestern
parts of the. State. it may be time now
for 1t to begin 70 beat toward the north
erly and easterly portion of Maine. We
have nothing but good words for the
candidates from the other great counties
which have laid claims 70 this office; we
well know their conspicuous abilities and
their fitness for this position: but -Aroos-

the Hon. Llewellyn Powers Kennebec

respects as those of Penobscot, still it is
very much smaller than Penobscot in
wealth and population. and 1t Is our posi-

The Need of Employment for
the CubanS.

There is danger that the ease with
which the transfer of authority in
Cuba from the Spaniards to the
United States army was effected may
cause rs to linger in a FOOLS paradise,
in the idea that nothing remains TO
be done but 10 collect the revenues
and talk about the sanitary and other
improvements that could be made in
the condition Of the island, says the
Philadelphia Record. There are
some twenty-odd thousand men dis
tributed throughout the various
Cuban provinces, who are possessed
of more or less effective arms and are
organized after fashion. One-half
Of their number. according to General
Greene, have become untitled for
agricultural pursuits by the rowing
life which they have led for several
years past, and the remainder, who
would be only too glad to resume their
former occupation. have no farms or
homes-these having been destroyed
in the wreck of war.
No effort Of the Imagination is re-
CURED to picture the situation which
would be created if these men should |
break away and take to the hills.
Congress has no jurisdiction over
Cuba, but somewhere in the Proyi-
,ional Government which is being |
aboriousIy established by our mil
tary chiefs the power should be
edged to dispose of this menace by
a part Of the destitute and
die army INTO local militia or con-
tabulary under proper control, and
y aiding the other halt to make
lew start in life.
