The daily morning Alaskan., 1900-08-05

A social event in which numerous Skag> wavans have an interest and tie of close connection was that of grand banquet on board the steamer Australian at Camp H. on Lake Bennett Tuesday evening. It was an affair of fellowship held in honor of Michael J. Henev, contracting builder of the White Pass x Yukon railroad, and the engineers and others who took an inn pOrtant part in constructing this pioneer road into the Yukon basin. A splendid feast was spread in tine dining saloon of the steamer, and sixty people sat down. President Graves was among those present, and Mr. Henev, the most honored, as it proved, of all there, thought at first that the head of the road was to be the most greatest number of favors and tokens ap- preciation fell to MT. Henev, and after him the locating engineers of the railroad, n- cuding Assistant Chief Engineer Hisop, and Messrs. Williams, Lewis, Goodwin and Beatty. The friends and associates of MT .Heney pressntedshim with spfefi2 did god watch attached to chai n of gold, and having pendant from the chain diamond locket. Each of the locating engineers were presented, on behalf of the railroad, with badges of gold as express ions of esteem for services we'll performed.
 Each badge bore the trade mark of the road, the design being emblematlc of the open gateway to the Yukon. Stickine Bill Robinson, one of Mr. Heney's chief lieu. tenants, did the honors in presenting the watch. Mr. Henev was thoroughly sur prised and quite overcome, and replied feel inglv. Mr. Hislop received his token at the hands of General Manager Hawkins. Then MT. HisIop presented the others with their badges. After presentations and con. gratuIatons, the feast and the pursuit of joy otherwise occupied the time until the hours grew small. Among those present were Messrs. Henev, Hislop, Williams, Goodwin, Lewis, Beatty, Graves, flaw kins, Rogers, Moriarity. Robinson, Murch. ison, Middaugh, Littleiohn and forty of MT. Heney's foremen.
 Mr. and Mrs. Elias Ruud gave party Friday evening in honor of Mr. Ruud's birthday anniversary. The guests were MT. and Mrs. H. o. Peterson. MT. F. B. Mcdonald and MT, Wm. Britt. A special dinner of many courses was discussed at the German Bakery, after which the party repaired to MT. Ruud's new home on Fourth avenue. MT. Ruud was presented with gold pen. MT. Peterson made the presentation speech, and MT. Ruud wittly replied.
 Miss Prentice, of Seattle, is visiting Mrs. Frank E. Burns. Mrs. Burns and Miss Prentice visited White Horse this week and returned yesterday evening. MT. Burns. who was also in White Horse dur ing the week, returned with them last evening.

What tho West Provides.

It was said by one of the speak
ers at Brooklyn banquet one night
recently that the United States could
feed the armies of all the nations of
Europe with crops grown on her
waste lands. 1t is probably not re-
allied by many people how much tho
western part of this country is de-
pended upon to provide the east with
food and how much the west does
provide, not only to this country,
but 10 the countries of the world.
Take the breadstuifs, the cattle, hogs,
sheep, poultry, game, dairy products,
fruits and vegetables supplied by the
west from the markets of the world,
and the result would be astonish-
ment and alarm, for it would come
near to creating an absolute famine.
A little study of the exports of the
west, the amount of produce she
sends to the eastern states and tho
character of the supplies will make
man wonder how the cas' ever got
along without that great aud fertile
land across the country whose re-
sources have not begun to be taxed
and whose millions of arid desert
acres need only the extending of an
irrigating ditch to make them bios
som into Edens.

A Wirc's Strange plea.

We have heard recently a good deal
about women in politics, but it re-
mained for Kansas to produce some
thing in this line so weird and fantastic
that it will wait long for parallel,
says the Kansas City journal. One Mr..
Deeds was Il candidate on the populist
ticket for a small township Office in
Mitchell county, For some reason lie
was being opposed by few of his own
party men. On election day Mrs. Deeds
appeared at the polls and circulated
handbill, of which the following is
copy:
Gentlemen: Your continued action
against Mr.. Deeds has greatly hurt my
mind, so much that 1t seems that my future
happiness depends on the result OF your
votes to-day. Mr.. Deeds has literally sup
ported the peoples party with his money.
] know Mr.. Deeds to be a good man; your
actions say otherwise. Thus you have cast
a gloom over my mind. l have requested
Mr.. Deeds to again be a candidate. Won't
you help me tighten the burden from my
mind by electing Mr.. Deeds to-day, that
any further rash acts on my part Will be
avoided? Please vote for Mr.. Deeds. and
may God bless you in so doing; oblige a
loving wife and mother. And thanking you
in advance to ME to-day, / am yours,
MRS. DEEDS"

SANTIAGO BEEF'S TONGUE.
yezes,.,
How to Prepare n Dish That VIII
Find Fnvcr with All
Who Try IL.

Cubans have delicious way of cook
ing beef's tongue, which should be
tried among holiday dishes. Dip nice
it simmer until the skin is loosened.
Lift it up and skin it. Crate half an
onion into a few tablespoonfuls of vim
cgar. Season the tongue with salt and
pepper, and rub it well with the onion
and vinegar, and then lard il with salt
pork and with II few strips of ham.
Brown the tongue in the bottom of an
iron stewing pot, and when it is well
Drowned on all sides cover it with two
cups of beef stock or water, in which
n little beef extract has been dissolved.
l.,. ihc lGrgac si:!E!Sg slowly IN this
liquid with the stewing rot covered,
until it is very tcadcr and brown. 1t
will take at least three hours. Turn
ii three or four times and baste ii with
the liquid it is cooking in. The gravy
around the tongue should be consider
ably reduced, and the tongue should
be almost glazed when it is done. Take
it up and let it dry in the oven mo-
ment. Make n rich sauce of the liquid
left in the pot, and pour it around the
tongue if it is served hot. If it is to
be served cold, make wcll-favored
aspic jelly. Let an inch layer of this
jelly harden in tin mold. An oblong
boned turkey mold is the best, but
a tin pnil of proper size will do, if the
tongue is skewered up in compact, cir
cular form. 1t should be just small
enough to escape the sides of the mold
when it rests on the jelly. Lay it on
the hardened jelly and pour an inch
or more of the Jelly around it, to seal
it down to the inst layer, and when
this hardens pou' in the remainder of
the jelly, which should be sufficient to
cover the tongue. Turn it out on a
round chop platter or an oblong dish,
according to its shape when nodded,
and decorate it with Eizzled celery, or
white lettuce leaves with may onnaise
dressing. A border of tomato jelly
served on bleached lettuce leaves
dressed in mayonnaise makes a deli
cious and an attractive decoration for
this tongue.-N. Y. Tribune.

FRlLLs OF FASHION.
Notcs on the Latest I'm the Depart
mcnt of Feminine
Einrry.

Fashion would be lacking in some
of its interesting features if it were
not for the fads which come and go
without rhyme or reason. One of these
is the Shaltcspcarean bangle. sim
pie bnnd of silver on which n quota-
tion from Shakespeare is inscribed,
and there is variety in sentiment 50
that the young school girls who affect
such things can make u suitable Sc
lection.
A novelty in u fur boa is made of
two whole sable skins spread out to
their full width and joined one above
the other, 50 that the upper head and
tail meet around the neck and the eX-
tremitics of the lower one rest on the
shoulders at either side of the front.
The skins are shaped little to fit the
shoulders. of course. but the effect is
much us though two whole skins had
been carcessly tucked together.
As pretty as anything in the shops
this season are the ribbons, striped,
lowered, open work, brocaded and
rringcd in all the pretty colors imag-
Unable. Their chief use just at the mo-
ment seems to be eXemplificd in the
neck wear. Two yards, or even more,
of ribbon with silk fringe at the ends
make a very popular neck tic, wound
twice around the neck, tied in knot
or n small bsa in front, and knotted
again low down ON the bust where
the ends fall to the waist.
A rather striking costume worn by
n yourg woman of fashion, is q black
cloth skirt, u bright but rather
rose red cloth jacket and a white cloth
waist coat.
Grete is colorcd in a. variety of tints
which do not affect the gloss, and arc
shaded from light to dark. Grebe
toqucs arc very popular.
So many cheap imitation furs are
used for the fur toques that their ca
rccr may be short one.
Nirlets are very much worn, both
real and artificial, and the latter
sprayed with perfume of Rhine vio-
lets are quite as sweet as the genuine.
Antelope gloves are worn by the
best st-dressed women, and the undressed
thicker skins are also very popular.
White glace gloves are as much worn
as ever for afternoon and evenings
Mt the theatcr.
Graduated fringe is enc of the novel
| ties, and far more graceful than the
straightforward variety. 1t is long
and short, forming broad points, and
has IL knottcd beading.
Some of the newest long coats of
| light fnwn cloth are made with n
dccp-shaped flouncc which rests on
the floor all around, and is entirely
covered with runs of stitching.
y pretty shirt waist has three nnr-
row box plaits on either side of the
front. each covered with embroidery,
and small tucSs fill in the center of
the back. y yoke in the back is no
longer considered Indispensable, and
the prettiest are made without this
ugly feature.-N. Y. Sun.

MUSICAL MENTION.

The operetta, "a New Year Reception"
which was given by Prof. Lawrence and his
pupils at Langdon Tuesdty evening, was re-
peated at his studio Wednesday evening.
On the former occasion 1t was stated that
the parts Of Clara and "1hsie" were
taken by Mrs. Marcau and Miss Mayer.
This was a mistake, as the parts were as
sumed by Miss Kathren Byrne and Miss
Beryl Gardner, who also appeared in them
Wednesday. The part of "Smithers' was
taken by Mr.. George Wright at very short
notice and played in a creditable manner.
Prof Lawrence has cards out for the
tenth anniversary of the opening Of his con-
servatory in Washington, which will take
place Tuesday evening next. He is also
making preparations for a recital early in
November at which time number of his
pupils will make their first appearance in
public.
The work of getting the new Washing
ton Philharmonic Orchestra into shape is
progressing rapidly and satisfactorily Re-
hearSals were held during the week, and
Prof. Santelmann expressed himself as de-
lightd with the progress made Some new
and difficult music was taken up and for a
first reading the orchestra evipced remark
able ability. both collectively and Individual
ly. The campaign for funds with which to
back the new venture is also progressing
satisfactorily.
The first three concerts given in Greater
New York by Eduard Strauss and his
x
conductor and his players are better than
ever, and more popular even than when In
America before. The Waldorf Astoria
opening was a society function, and served
to reintroduce the maestro to the American
people. The popular concert at the Metro
politan Opera House on Sunday October q,
attracted one Of the largest audiences that
has ever been gathered into the great thea
ter. At least 5000 people attended. and
nothing but standing room could be secured
at the box Office after 5 pm. The orches-
ira Is now In Canada. and after visiting the
principal cities Of the United States Will be
heard at the Columbia Theater the latter
part Of November.
The dates Of the Philharmonic Club are:

CONTROVERSY OVER SIDEWALK.
Computing Engineer Hunts Position
S1stained by Capt. beach.

Computing Engineer Hunts Position
Sustained by Capt. Beach.
Mr.. c. B. Hunt the District computing
engineer, early last month recommended to
the Commissioners that the work Of laying
cement sidewalks on certain streets, among
which was one on the west side Of 5th
street between F and G, be included in the
next list of work to be advertised under
| the assessment system. Messrs. F. c. Lord
and ]. Sprigg Poole protested against this
sidewalk being laid under the assessment
system, but Mr.. Hunt subsequently rec
commended that 1t be laid despite their pro-
tests, stating that in his opinion the widen
ins OF the roadway referred to by the pro-
testants was necessity from public con-
sideration too apparent to need explanation.
This widening" states Mr.. Hunt, ''prac-
tically threw one-half Of the whole side
walk into the roadway. and the necessity
for new walk was thus developed. The
law requires one-half the cost of all curb
and sidewalk work shall be made a matter
Of assessment, and while 1t is the practice
of the office In almost every case to regard
the wishes and protests Of the abutting
property in matter Of the authorizat ton
Of work requiring assessment, yet this
seems a case where the necessity for the
work is practically forced upon the Com
r1ssioners out OF proper considerat ton Of
public interests, and the assessment is an
| unavoidable result. 1t Is confidently be-
llcNeu ludl tIlc SILdl expenditure TO wn1ch
each property will be subjected by reason
of this assessment could justly be regarded
as very wise investment for the better
ment of the property, and such has repeat
edly turned out to be the case in our exper-
ience."
In explanation Of his protest, Mr. Lord
stated that he was advised by Mr.. Hunt
that the Commissioners did not intend the
construction of such walk. and Mr.. Hunt
says he regrets to say that such is the fact
But at that date, he explains, the work had
not been ordered, and did not appear among
his office records as work contemplated
The fact that the Commissioners were
about to advertise for objections he adds,
escaped his recollection and notice. But he
thinks that as the protestants learned the
true facts In spite Of his (Hunt's) state
ment, it is clear to him that no harm re-
suited from his oversight
Captain Beach, the Engineer Commission
err who has immediate charge of such mat
tiers, has approved Mr.. Hunts recommen-
dation, and the case is now before his as
