FOR THE GIRLS.

Quite good many nice girls win
read this item, and we wish to impress
upon them the necessity of learning
how to be a good cook before they
promise John to marry him. We do not
so much refer to the making of fancy
cakes. pastry and company dishes.
though it is well to be skilled in these
lines, but rather to the more hOmciy,
everyday forms of cooking, such as the
making of good bread, the roasting,
brOiling and boiling of meats, the prep
aration of palatable meals from tie
common food stuifs. Good cooking is a
fine art and in every way as much of
an accomplishment for young lady as
is the ability to paint picture sing a
song or play upon the piano or organ.
1t takes very ardent type of affection
to patiently endure the ever present
annoyance of poorly prepared food. For
your own sake, girls, and for Johns,
don't marry until you have learned this
art.

and Break UP a Meeting.

and Break UP Meeting.
Chicago, Dec. 22.-Elders of Way
man African Methodist Episcopal
chapel omitted to remove weapons
from the persons of worshipers at q
prayer meeting. In consequence the
services ended in ough-and-tumble
fight and shooting. When Brother
William Il. Hunter rose to tell the
meeting his religious experience" he
was, apparently, in anything but war
like mood. Brother Hunter is tail
or-his trade is notably a peaceful
one.
But Brother Hunter suddenly
dropped the subject of his spiritual
life and the blessings derived from a
humble and a contrite heart. He
launched into relation of worldly
matters. He declared he had been
slandered by certain brother, and
that the ISLANDERS were bruited about
in utter disregard of st. Pauls admon-
itions concerning the unruly member.
Wherefore he was deprived of the
privileges and obligations accruing to
a stewardship of Wayman chapel.
When he sat down Trustee Robert
McComer angrily demanded that
Hunter explain his injunctions. 1t is
said that thereupon Brother Hunter
smote Robert McComer and was an
swered In kind. The prayer meeting
was abruptly ended, but the two mill
tant Christians rolled over and over
ON the floor, beating each other. Final
~ a shot was fired. Brother McComer
executed rapid retreat down the
street. Brother Hunter, it is averred,
allowed himself another shot. Then
the police came.

LETTER WRITTEN BY THE THUGS.
Threat to Blind the Boy with Acid Unless
Ransom Came.


Ransom Game.
Following is the letter the kidnapers
sent to Cudahy. 1t is dated Omaha,
Dec 10:
"We have kidnapped your child and
demand $4,000 twenty-five thousand
dollars, for his safe return If you
give us the money the child will be
returned as safe as when you last saw
him, but If you refuse we will put
acid in his eyes and blind him. then
we will Immediately kidnap another
milliOnalre's child that we have spot
ted and demand 100000, and we will
get it, for he will see the condition of
your child and realize the fact that we
mean business and will not be monkey
ed with or captured.
sect the money all in gold five,
ten and twenty-dollar pieces; put it in
white wheat sack; get in your buggy
alone on the night of Dee. 49, at Z
O'Clock D. m, and drive south from
your house 10 Center street; turn west
ON Center and drive back to Ruser's
park and follow the paved road to-
wards Fremont. When you come to a
lantern that is lighted by the side of
the road place the money by the lantern
and Immediately turn your horse
around and return home. You viii
know our lantern, for it will have two
ribbons, black and white. tied on the
handle. You must place a red lantern
on YOUR buggy where it can be plainly
seen so we will know you mile away.
'sThis letter and every part of 1t
must be returned with the money, and
any attempt at capture will be the
saddest thing you ever done. If you
remember, some twenty years ago
Charley Ross was kidnapped in New
York city and $4,000 ransom asked.
Old man Ross was willing to give up
the money, but Burns, the great de-
tective, with others, persuaded the old
man not to give up the money, assur-
ing him that the thieves would be
captured. Ross died of a broken
heart, sorry that he allowed the de-
tectives to dictate 10 him.
''Ths letter must not be seen by
any one but you. If the police or some
stranger knew it's contents they might
attempt to capture us, although against
your wish, or some one might us a

STORY TOLD BY YOUNG CUDAHY.
Falsely Arrested Right Across the Street
From His Home.

FALSELY Arresteu hiSht thO S".SO'
From His Home.
Omaha. Neb., Dec. 21.-When young
Edward Cudahy arose yesterday morn
ing he was questioned concerning the
circumstances Of his disappearance
and told the following: He said that
he was in front of General GOWNS
home. Just across the street from his
own home, on his way back from the
Rustin residence, Tuesday evening,
when two men approached him. One
of them stepped up to him and said:
"We are sheriffs from Sarpy county
and arrest you as Eddie MCGEE, who
escaped from the reform school," The
lad protested that he was not the
mythical Eddie MCGEE, but his captors
said that he would have to be identi-
fed.
They placed him in a buggy and
drove to Thirty-sixth street and thence
south to Leavenworth street. AS they
approached Leavenworth street mo-
tor car passed them. The lad recOg-
nized the conductor and said to his
captors: ",fhere is man who knows
me; he CAN identify me-" But the
captors Immediately blindfolded him
uAu WhippCu up thC hOloO. II hO Aoo
thinks that they crossed Leavenworth
erly direction. Presently they came
to a house which. in the opinion Of the
lad, is somewhere in the southwest
ern part of South Omaha. Young
CuGahy was taken from the buggy and
placed in a room and chained to the
floor.
Here he remained all night and the
next day. His hands were tied and
the chains ON his feet prevented him
from getting good view of his sur
roundings, even after the blindfold
had been removed. He knows, how
ever, that he was in an empty room
and that the blinds on the windows
were closed. On the trip to the place
OF Imprisonment the men, he says,
talked little about themselves. He
gathered from them that there were
six in the gang. One of these men
came from Mexico recently and from
Denver very lately, and was an ex-
pert in the kidnapping business. Aft
er the mysterious house was reached
one man guarded him during a great
er portion of the day. The second
man was in and out of the room at
intervals.
From a conversation between the
abductors and himself the young man
learned that the abductors had been
seeking to abduct one of the girls of
the family, and had been planning this
coup for four months. At night, for
some unknown reason, the men re-
leased young Cudahy from his chains
and said: We are going to take you
home" Then they led him to hack.
He was driven rapidly through the
darkness to Thirty-seventh street,
where he was allowed to leave the
carriage. From there he walked home,
arriving there shortly after i o'clock
in the morning The bandits made no
explanation to him why they gave him
his freedom.
