THE BEST YET.

The best that ever happened was
asWhat Happened to Jones' The
play last night was the best ever given
in Denison. Itswas DOWNRIGHT, good,
wholesome fun from beginning to end
and there was not poor player in the
caste. This is not paid write-up,
but the truth; the Review has had to
strain it's conscience sometimes to avoid
saying unpleasant things about some
of the troupes that have been here.
This is not the case with "What Hap
pened to Jones'" A community owes
a genuine debt beyond the price of adj
mission to players who can take people
away from the cares of life, make them
forget all about business and politics
and gossip and the other ills of life
and give them two hours of solid,
healthy fun. If to laugh makes one
fat. tie audience must have gained a
ton last night. The opera house makes
very little from these high grade plays
atipresent, because the public has been
debauched by the repertoire companies
that charge, and act like thirty cents.
We believe, however, that If Manager
Sibbert will continue to give US such
plays as Quo Vadis, Faust, and What
Happened to JONES'" the people will
soon find that it is better to pay good
price for good show than a cheap
price for cheap show. The play last
night was the equal of any playing in
the large cities and was thoroughly
enjoyed.

THAT COOK BOOK.

The Review job rooms are busily.en-
gagged on the Fridav Club cook book
and the editorials been reading proof
until he knows all about cooking and
has applied for the position of chef at
Delmonico's. Some of the receipts
linger in our mind although we may
rot have them exactly right. We
learn that a. good vegetable soup emf
ficieut for. one man and two boys can
easily be made something as follows.
Remove the label from one-half can
ofearly June tomatoes, boil for four
;hours, being careful thatifre does mot
90 out. add the whites of two beaten
eggs, use one teaspoonful white -four
for thickening, add soup stock to taste.
When soup is consistency of thin paste
put in raw potatoes cut'inedice, a little
corn, beans, peas, pieplant, spinach,
sliced .radishes, rice, sago, caulifioweT,
cabbage, beetatops, spinach and pars-i
lev. Season to taste and serve hot.
This soup mey be eaten at the point
of a revolver, sotherwise it is best to
leave it alone.
The cook book will contain more
than two hundred receipts from the
best.cooks in 'Denison, and Denison
beats the band when it comes to good
cooking. The books will be bound ;in
oilcloth for kitchen purposes but will
be neat and attractive and will make a
splendid holiday gift.

Consolidated April II. 1890

In view of the splendid work
done by the members of the fire
company last Wednesday. A
subscription paper was put in cir,
culalion to buy the boys suits for
use in the future, but we under
stand the boys have declined to
accept the proposed gift and re-
quest that the money be expend-
ed on securing good hose and i'm
proved fire apparatus. Between
S4OO and $500 was subscribed and
will be invested as the fire com
pany may direct.
With the heavy wind blowing
from the northwest at the time
of the fire, and possible disaster
to the hose or apparatus, it
was uncertain when the ravages
Of the fire would be stopped and
number of merchants in the line
OF the blaze removed their stocks
Among these were the Halves
supply house, all of the goods
having been gotten out; r. G.
Lender also had his entire stock
removed, as did E. N. johnson &
Co, and the occupants of the up
per story of the Gamble build
ing, Messrs. Gam BILE and Fuller
and DR.. Ross, the dentist. M.
5. Druecker also commenced the
removal of his goods, but only
had part of them taken out befor e
the fire was under control.
About half a dozen young lad
les did very commendable act
in serviffg hot coffee on the street
to the tremen and others who
were fighting the flames. The
fire department at meeting re-
quested the local papers to re-
turn their appreciative thanks to
the young ladies.

INDIA FAMINE.
The Rev. Rockwell Clancy
Says Parents Sell Children
to Buy Food.

Boston, Mass, April 16.-The Rev.
Rockwell Clancy, a missionary at
Allahadad, who is visiting his brother
in Medford, said last night:
"The condition of famine-stricken
India to-day is something perfectly
awful to contemplate. | cannot tell
anything about the number dying, but
when | left Bombay last February
there were some 6O,OO0,000 people
suffering and over 30,O0O,O00 were in
dire distress, and of these but 5,OOO,-
600 were receiving government aid.
ut is not the cities, but the country
places, which are stricken, and when
you know that it is mostly among the
agricultural classes, and that SO per
cent of the population Of India is
made up of the tillers OF the soil, you
may be able to grasp in some slight
manner the extent of the suffering at
the present time.
When the famine set in the people
began to sell everything they had
that they might get little grain for
food. They took the doors from their
houses and sold them: sold their fur
niture and farming utensils: and then,
when they had no longer anything to
sell, they sold their children. The
boys don't sell we'll, and the traffic is
largely in girls.
II saw girls in one town jrst before
| came away being sold for 30 cents
apiece. They were bought up by Mo-
hammedans. But they won't buy the
boys, SO when the parents can no
longer support their children they
abandon them and henceforth they
must get on as best they can. These
cast-offs congregate about the
doors of the grain merchants
shops, and the only way the proprie-
tors can get rid Of them is to throw
out handfuls Of grain, scattering it
wide. The children pick and pick all
day, and at night perhaps are reward
ed by having collected single handful.
