ChicawO Schools.

Histories of England were dropped
from the lists of supplementary reading
for the public schools at the meeting of
the board of education last night.
Books were adopted for all grades at
a cost of thousands of dollars, but none
of England except as an incident in con-
nection with the war of independence.
None of the trustees objected to the list
and the triumph of John T. Keating was
complete. For three months Mr.. Keat-
ing, who is the national president of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians, has been
fighting the use of histories of England,
which he declared were prejudiced in
favor of the ancient foe of Ireland. He
fought tooth and nail against any his
tories of England that he considered
were not fair, and won twice in the dis
cussiOn in committee. The entire mat
ter was referred to the district commit
tees, and the result was shown in the
list of supplementary books submitted
last night
: Trustee Heating wanted the true story
tories of England. If any histories were
introduced. The district superintendents
decided to eliminate English histories,
and nothing but American history will
be included in the supplementary read
ing.

A Surprised Irish M a N .

The sight of row of forceps has clos
ed the mouth of many sufferer, even
after they had seated themselves in the
dentists chair. Dental surgeons antici-
pate this, and the following amusing
instance of how an obstinate Irishman
was made to show his teeth may not be
amiss:
Pat came to the dentist with his jaw
very much swollen from tooth he de-
sired to have pulled. But when the suf-
fering son of Erin got into the dentist g
chair and saw the cleaning pair of
forceps approaching his face he positive
ly refused to open his mouth.
The dentist quietly told his page boy
to prick his patient with pin, and when
Pat opened his mouth to yell, the dentist
seized the tooth, and out it came.
1T didn't hurt as much as you expect
ed it would, did it," the dentist asked
smiling.
We'll, no. replied Pat, hesitatingly
as if doubling the truth of his admission
But" he added, placing his hand on the
spot where the boy had pricked him
with the pin, 'begorra, little did 1 think
the roots would reach down like that

Old Communion.
DULUTH, Mimi, April 20.-The find
ings of Judge Cant in what is known as
the Populist injunction suit were filed
yesterday. The decision is, as far as 1t
goes, distinct victory for the old COM
mitteemen who were ousted by Zeke
Austin. The case came before Judge
Cant to show cause why temporary in
junction should not issue to restrain the
new committee from usurping the func-
tions Of the old. The application for
the order to show cause asked that the
new committee should be restrained
from further proceedings in the matter
of the county convention, the first notice
of which has already been issued by it.
Judge Cant, however, refused to cover
this point in his order. AS to the prin-
ciple of usurpation Of the rights of the
plaintiffs, Judge Cant expresses very
strongly the opinion that it was wholly
unwarranted.

as the trimmings. First remove all
garniture, brush the felt thoroughly, be-
ing careful to brush it the way the nap
runs, then dampen piece of soft cloth
and clean it as you do glove, space at
time, being careful these spaces do
not show soiled line about them,
which line may be prevented by brisk
rubbing with a clean dry cloth. Hang
the hat in the open air for half an hour,
when the odor has disappeared and it is
ready to be retrimmed, unless the shape
is injured, when little ingenious press

a really fresh appearance, and Ii wired
it can be bent into more modern shape,
SO that even it's owner will not detect
Its antiquity. While the hat Is being

all old stitches, then dipping the RIBBON

and net stuffs are cleaned in the same
manner, also lace anu chiffon which,

his dismissal from the University Of

of President Andrews for advocating
free silver; and Prof Heron had to
leave Iowa University for preaching
Socialism. That is the way in which the

Pathetic Occurrence In Auburn That
Excited Syracuse.

Pathetic Occurrence in Auburn That
Excited Syracuse.
For primeval, absolute innocence" said
the man from New York. Il consider that
the way in which the people of my state
were taken in by an April fool joke, is the
best thing in that line have ever heard.
This thing happened in Auburn several
years ago. Their are no morning papers in
Auburn, only evening, and on this particu
lar day the editorial staff found themselves
it was the 1st of April, by the way-with
showing in the local columns. So they set
to and got up very neat piece of work
about three columns long I'm sorry
haven't got copy of the article here. 1t
appeared on the front page and was. headed,
Whole Family Poisoned The rest Of the
heading outlined how Mr.. and Mrs. C.
Roach and their four children had been
found dead early that morning on the
kitchen floor of the house in Water street
where they had been living for some time,
and how poison had been found upon some
bread which lay on the floor near them.
I'm not an expert judge of newspaper writ
Ing, but 1t seemed to me that the article
was exceptionally we'll worked up-full of
detail and written with no literary effect
It referred to the Reaches as a well known
family in Auburn, which was perfectly true;
they are.
well, that article was the sensation Of
the town in one way and another, but no.
body thought Of its making much of stir
outside until the late afternoon train from
Syracuse got in. Syracuse is about an hour
away from Auburn, and when the Auburn
papers got there and the editors read of the
poisoning case they sent their reporters
flying for the next train out, and a dozen
of them piled out of the car at Auburn, and
wanted to know how to get to the house of
Mr. c. Roach, of Water street. 1t was a
profitable game for the cabmen and ater
street was a lively thoroughfare for a
couple of hours. Then one of the visiting
reporters took the Auburn article and read
it carefully through, after which he made a
short speech in which he expressed pointed
opinions as to the intelligence of himself
and his companions and particularly OF the
city editors at home in Syracuse. The man
who had found out went to the telegraph
office and sent this dispatch to his paper:
cam coming back on 9 o'clock train,
with the body of Roach for autopsy
II heard afterward that he was suspended
for having presented the remains in an en-
velope to the editor. Next day the Auburn
paper chronicled the arrival and brief visit
Of several reporters from Syracuse, and
merely observed editorially that the exi-
gencies of lack OF news on April FOOLS day
had led the paper to give more space than
usual to a case of insecticide In which the
victims were family Of cockroaches, and
that Syracuse papers might copy. But
don't think they ever did"

: ShOtt and Mott.

The story Of these gentlemen and
their duel-a famous one formerly-is
revived, and the tale is thus repeated:
A duel was lately fought in Texas by
Alexander Shot and John S. Mott. Mott
was shot and Shot was not In this
case it was better to be Shot than Nott.
There was a rumor that Mott was not
shot, but Shott avows that he was not,
which proves either that the shot Shott
shot at Mott was not shot, or that Mott
was not shot Notwithstanding.
1t may be made to appear on trial that
the shot Shott shot shot Mott, or, as
accidents with firearms are frequent, it
may be possible that the shot Shott shot
shot Shott himself, when the whole af-
fair would resolve itself into it's original
element, and Shott would be shot and
Mott would be not
We think, however that the shot Shot
shot shot, not Shott, but Mott. Anyway
it is hard to tell who was shot.

Tarred With the Same Stick.

The Democrats would like to make the
Porto Rico tariff bill an issue in the
canvass, but they are handicapped by
the fact that the tobacco and sugar
states are loud in their demand for pro-
lection against the importation of tobac-
co and sugar from the island, and all
these states are Democratic. They are
also beating around the bush to see If
they can't make point out of the Cour
d'Alene mining trouble and the bull
penning of about II, 900 men by the fed
eral soldiers, but here they strike an
other snag, for the governor of Idaho is
a Democrat and he it was that appealed
to the president for troops, and con-
sequently must assume responsibility for
the arrest and Imprisonment of the
miners. These incidents only go to
show that the two old parties are one
and that both are tarred by the same

"knack" of giving 1t the right consist
ency and the proper favor Try the fol-
lowing recipe and see IL it doesn't ''come
out Just right"
Take on large shank Of beef and one
Set of pigs feet, well scraped and
soaked. Put them on to boil in separate
vessels. using just enough water to
cover the meat Boil until the nleat
slips from the bones; lift the ~-.t lrom
the pot, draining it we'll, and lay it on
dishes to cool; set the vessel with the
liquor in which the pigs feet were
boiled aside until the next day, or until
cooled.
1t is best to take the bones from the
pigs feet while they are yet warm. Next
morning skim the fat from the liquor
of the pigs feet, which has now become
a stiff jelly. Cut the meat of the feet
and the beef shin into small pieces, leav-
ing out all gristle and tough portions
of the latter. Put in with the pigs foot
jelly, and melt all together
When it comes to boil add pepper,
salt, one-half teaspoonful of ground
cloves and the same of allspice. Stir
we'll and pour into mould and when it
is perfectly cold it can be turned out and
cut into thin, firm slices.
Although this is looked upon as rare
delicacy for luncheon dainty, there is
no reason why it should not often ap-
pear on the daily bill of fare, as it is
easily prepared, and when well cooked

gency" dinner or tea.-Phebe Wescott
