A book taken from the library of the
British bark Resolute the day after the
Resolute was brought into New London
harbor, December "a. 1855, has recent
" been given to the Blackstone memo
rial library at Branford. Conn. The
Resolute was one of the three ships

In 1853 the ship was frozen fast in
Wellington channel and was aban-
doned. II drifted more than LOCO miles

by Capt. James Burlington, of Groton~
He was able to put it in order for
voyage, release 1t from the ice and tn

Jelliea Meat.

An excellent jellied-meat for picnics
or camp is this old-fashioned standby
of our grandmothers. Get four pigs
feet with legs to the first joint and boil
in pot Of water without salt until the
bones fall out. Ta':e the meat from
the liquor, strain and set away to cool.
In another kettle have a shank of beef
sawed and cut. Boil this In unsaltea
water until very tender. Remove the
meat and set the liquor away to cool.
The next morning remove the fat from
both liquors, cut the neat in small bits.
add the liquor the pigs feet were
cooked in (the beef liquor can be uti!-
ixeo in soup), salt, pepper and spice to
taste. heat and pour in molds to hard

ETIQUETTE OF THE DANCE.
hy Every Devetee Of TeFD-
sichore.

The etiquette of the ballroom or the
private dancing party ought to be IA
miliar to all who attend such diver
sions, but, if so, it's observance is far
from universal. A few general rules
should always be borne in mind, says
the Chicago Chronicle.
When man is presented to . young
woman at dance he usually says al
most at once: MAY have the pleas
ure of this dance?" After dancing and
walking about the rooms two or three
times the young man may take the girl
back to her chaperon and plead anoth-
er engagement, or, better, she suggests
that he take her to q place near her
mother or chaperon. The lady is the
one to first intimate her desire to stop
dancing.
II man holds a girl too tightly she
should drop her hand from his shoul-
der so as to bring il between her part
ner and herself. If he does not take
the hint let her stop dancing at once
under some pretext SO evident that he
may realize her displeasure or disap-
proval.
A chaperon should not be lacking In
personal dignity; nor should she dance
while her charge is unprovided with a
partner. A girl should be attentive to
her mother or her chaperon, presenting
her friends to her and occasionally
stopping to say few words.
Both young men and maidens should
be careful to remember that their dan
cling engagements must be kept. Agirl
must not refuse to dance with one man
under some pretcxt and then dance
with another; neither should she dance
with the same man more than two OF
three times.
A young man invited to q house
should dance as early as possible with
the daughter Of his hostess and pay
them every possible attention.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Jan. 14.-The gale
has not yet blown itself out and the sea
Is still too rough to allow boats to go
near the wrecked steamer in the bay.
AS yet there is nothing to show the name
Of the vessel. Ten bodies have been
located among the rocks and others can
be seen floating about. Plans have been
made for the recovering of these tomor-
row and as soon as the weather permits
it may then be possible to get at the
name Of the steamer from pieces of
boats wedged in the cleft
The priest of the district while holding
service was given a photograph which
had apparently been: washed ashore from
the wreck. This represents a seaman
wearing cap on which were the words,
'S. M. s. Fake" Tbs priest was told
also that the ship had Sid off the rocks
into deep water and had disappeared ex-
cept for the top of one mast and that

BERLIN GOLD MOVEMENT.

transactions of December Resulted
I'm Some Gain to Germany.
BERLIN, Jan. 14.-A leading official OF
the ReichsbaHk in the course of an inter
view today made the following state
IHent regarding the financial situation:
'The gold movement in December re-
suited in a considerable increase OF Ger
manys gold stock. About $4,000, GOO marks
went to England, but more than $4,000, O0c
marks were imported from Russia. This
was due to the fact that Russia had been
unable to raise q loan in Western Europe
to meet the interestupon her engagements
and was compelled to send gold instead.
Furthermore the British banks re-
fused to prolong the Russian drafts, thus
rendering remittances from Russia to
London necessary. These were partly
direct, but chiefly by way of Germany.
Hence the apparent export from Germany
to London was really mere matter of
transit.
"Since the beginning Of this year the
export has been almost nothing. 4
second reduction In the bank rate before
the end of January is possible, but every
thing depends upon the further de SAlop-
ments of the market. The boerse has
taken too optimistic view Of the money

MIR. HoAR is NAMED
CABLED TO THE FILIPINO
INSURGENTS
CHARGE MADE IN PUBLIC
Mr.. Barrett, Ex-United. States Min
lister to Siam, I'm Speaking at Lake
Forest University, Declares That,
in His Opinion, the Address of the
Massachusetts, Senator Was the
Cause of the Rebellion.

CHICAGO, Jan. 14.-John- Barrett, ex-
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time, publicly named Senator Hoar
last night, at Lake Forest university, as
the United States senator whose anti-ex-
panson speech was cabled to Hong Kong
and subsequently put into the hands OF
the Filipino soldiers, causing, as Mr.. Bar
rett believed, the open insurrection. FIRE.
quently this speech and it's presumed ef-
feet have been mentioned, and the reading
public has connected the name of Sen
ator Hoar with it, and 1t is probable Mr..
Barrett would not have used the law
been facing an audience known to be
largely hostile to the administration pol
icy In the Oriental islands.
1t appears further from the ex-minister' 8
speech that the government has discov-
cred privately the stages by which the
anti-eXpansion address reached Luzon.'
MIR. BARRETT'S SPEECH.
In the course of his address, which was
on the general subject of the "Philip-
pines" Mr.. Barrett said that it had been
discovered in the government investiga-
ton that Senator Hoar's speech was ca
bled in cipher and in fragments to Paris,
where 1t was put together and forwarded
to Hong Kong. The message included
several thousand words, and the cost for
transmission was said to have been 81 200.
1t interested the government to know
what friends the Fihpinos had at this
time who were in a position to send the
message.
Il was in Hong Kong-at the time" said
Mr.. Barrett, tand I remember the Incl
dent distinctly. l was coming down stairs
in the hotel when L met the president of
the Hong Kong Junta, and he had in his
hand the long dispatch he had just re-
-ce1Ved. 1t gave a large part of Senator
Hoar's speech in full, and summary
of the rest of it. I asked the preside ut
what he was going to do with it, and he
told ME that he meant to send it to the
officers of the army in the Philippines.
He was urged not to do SO, but he pro-
tested that 1t had been printed in the
United States and was public property.
| -Four days after that speech had been
delivered it was in the hands of those
who saw an opportunity to make politi-
cal capital Of 1t. The speech was pub
lished and distributed among the soldiers,
and believe it was the eliminating in
huence that brought about the open IN
surrection. This speech you must remem-
ber' was delivered before there was an
open insurrection"
MR.. HOAR SILENT.
BOSTON, Mass, Jan. 14.-Senator Hoar
tonight declined to take any notice of
the statement attributed to Mr. Barrett
ex-minister to Siam, In an address on
the Philippine question The senator said
that Gen. Otis reports give him the full
est accounts Of the events that led 70
hostilities, and that he expects, as he
has already given notice. to deal with
the whole matter in the senate.

said:
"In seeking to give encouragement to
this movement / do so because 1t Is in line
with the teaching to which my, life Is
largely devoted-that of helping the race
to prepare itself for industry and buSi-
ness; to exercise thrift and economy; to
save money; to help lay up something for
rainy day. Neither actively, officially
nor financially can | enter into the busi-
ness of this organization, for I am de-
termined to let nothing draw me aside
from the work that I have undertaken
for the elevation of our people through
the medium of the Tuskegee normal and
industrial institute at Tuskegee, Ala.
Il am glad to have a part in this meet
ing for the special reason that more and
more each year the problem confronting
our race in these large Northern cities
is going to become an important one. The
negro who comes from the South to Chi
cago, for example, finds certain advan-
tages which are not afforded him in the
South. At the same time he finds certain
disadvantages. He meets with severe and
often almost cruel competition. I have
said more than once that l believe that
our people can sooner conquer prejudice
in the South than Northern competition.
The young colored man coming to Chicago
from our Southern states not only has
to meet severe competition, but he finds
himself subjected to temptations which
do not surround him in his Southern
home. All these considerations make 1t
most important that any organization In
the North that has for its object the
encouragement of our people in the direc-
ton of thrift and economy, the exercise
Of which gives them opportunity and en-
couragement to save money, should re-
ceive our special care and earnest con-
sideration.
1.-The negro in the South as elsewhere
will prosper in proportion as he learns to
do some one thing well-learns to do It
better than anyone else; In proportion
as he learns to put brains, skill, and dig
nifty in the common occupations of life.
A few days ago I was asked by
German In the North in what manner
could the negroes in the South be pro-
tected. My answer was: Assist us in
making the negro the most useful man
in his community Usefulness will con-
stitute our most lasting and potent pro-
lection, whether we live in the North or
in the South

Jeffries and Sharkey to Compete for
Beefsteak Eating Championshfp.

NEW YORK, Jan. 14-Jeffries and
Sharkey have both entered for the annual
beefsteak eating championship of the Mo-
hican club of the Twenty-second assem-
bly, district. 1t will be held at Grand Cen
trail Palace on Feb. 14St. Valentine 8
day.
Il expect to eat about a ton of porter
house" says Sharkey. Allowing for ex-
aggeration, his friends really believe that
he can beat the steak-eating record
Mr.. Jeffries claims a record Of eleven
pounds of mutton chops, but it was not
made under any organized rules or be-
fore competent witnesses, and It is not
admitted by the Amateur Athletic union.
Thomas Costigan, who can eat three
canvas back ducks for dinner, will referee
the steak race. The members Of the Mo-
hican club say that they are not neces-
sarily greedy persons, but that there Is so
much vegetarianism in the assembly dis
trict that they want to do something to
counteract It,
"a beefsteak eating match Is a thor
oughly refined affair when conducted by
perfect gentlemen" said one member
THE old system was for the competitor
to eat the meat with his hands tied be-
hind his back, but you can announce posi-
lively that this plan will not govern at
the grand annual feed on st. Valentines s
day.

against those customers who refuse to

1t was thought to make 1t a Kansas City

to the best interests Of all to act jointly
with Chicago.
After a large amount of detail work

ADvICEs ARE CONFLICTING.
Contradictory Reports Regarding
the Revolution in CoIombin.

the revolution In Colon bin.
KINGSTON, Jamaica, Jan 14.-Advices
just received from Colombia reiterate the
statement that the main body of the Co.
lonbian revolutionists, after occupying
Bucamanga on Jan. 6, and securing large
quantities Of stores, proceeded toward
Soccorro, to which other bodies were con-
verging with a view Of forming a juno
ton and delivering concerted attack
upon .Bogota.
In this attempt according to the same
advices the Colombian expects the as
sistance of a considerable body of Ven
ezuelans understood4to be advancing from
the frontier by way Of Cuyota.
On the other hand the government dis
patches reafiirm the reports of a COM
plete rout of the main body of the in
surgents in two heavy battles near Buc-
amanga and Cereti, entirely frustrating
the insurgent plans
AS against this, .advices from yet an
other quarter declare the government is
completely disorganized and the govern
ment troops are retreating to Bogota,
avoiding the insurgents. In this connec-
ton 1t is pointed out that the drafting Of
Antioquan troops into the capital is
significant indication of the government
position.
