which Mr. Sykes made a considerable hit in the
rather subordinate character of the stupid and
ccnceited detective Foxy CUTLER. This prompted
the contrivanCe Of new work in which the
detective should be the central figure. The
piece has been tried for few nights in other

Adams is enjoying monopoly Of the play for
a short time, but soon Sarah Bernhardt will
arrive, and there will be two Dukes of Reich

How tO.Feed the Sick.

Wet clean wash brush and freshen
the face and hands before eating.
Have everything neat and dainty
about the tray, table or stand.
A crowded~tray or di shes too full
may cause aversion to food.
IF there il great weakness, give lit
tie at tipe every two or three hours.
Anything disliked should be careful
ly putout of sight or changed.
1tis often best not to speak of the
food until served.
Kindly allow a choice of food where
that will please best.
Pleasant little surprises help greatly.
A cherry face and voice help TO
make the tray attractive.
Never hurry the sick while eating.
Never talk about disagreeable things.
then.
Neighbors just please remember this
when you can furnish some little relish
The remembrance and thoughtful
ness Of one weakness and need, warns
the heart and aids digestion.
IF food must be given when there is
no relish for it, make it plain but nonr-
ishing.
Give it in such cases punctually as
you would medicine.

The newspaper had hardly started.
There were about one hundred and
fifty publications of all kinds in the
United States. About one tenth of
them were newspapers, and were
issued daily. Not one Of them sold
more than thousand copies day.
To-day we have $4,000 different perio-
ideals ofall kinds. -. "a !.
There were 903 post-offices in 1900.
To-day we have 75,000-that is, In
America alone. 1t took a letter six
teen days to 60 from Philadelphia to
Lexington, Kentucky twenty-five
days to Nashville, Tennessee. The
cheapest letter postage was, eight
cents, and to send a letter more than a
hundred miles cost a shilling. Three
million letters and papers were then
sent in year at, the present time the

Not until 1874 did Morse send his first
telegram. When the Battle of Water.
loo was fought, in 1915, unusual meas
ures of haste were adopted to get the
news to London, where it was receiv.
ed three days later. The guns OF
Dewey's fleet were hardly quiet before
the result of the battle was known in
New York. To-day we have 1000, ,0OC

and 10000, 900 messages are sent over
them each year. There are $50, ,00C

How to Pack Eggs for Long keeping.
The yolk of the eggs spoils much
quicker than the white. For this rea-
son it is Important that the p yolk
should be surrouded with a layer of the
white. 1.-THE eggsis placed on the side
or large end the heavy yolk will settle
to the bottom and come in contact with
the shell, which admits the. air. If it
is placed on the small end twill always
have layer of white between itand the
shell. Eggs absorb odors easily, there
fore only odorless materials should be
used when packing them. G,st

ACTING DILATORY'.

Up to this morning Sheriff Conley had
not made service upon the legislative
contestees in the election fraud SUITS
but this morning the sheriff's fees were
paid in advance by c. j. Walsh one OF
the attorneys for the contestants, ana
the sheriff thereupon began the exercise
of his duties. The complaints were de-
livered at the sheriff's Office in the early
part of last week, and at that time no
demand was made Upon the attorneys
for advance costs. On Saturday night.
after allowing the complaints to remain
unfolded dn his Office all this time, the
sheriff telephoned to tile attorneys to
dig up the cash. almost at the eleventh
hour. 1T seemed to be the general i'm
preston that today was the last day
upon which service could be had, but
such Is not the case. The time limta-
tion expires tomorrow, so there is plenty
of time yet In which the contestees may
be officially advised of the suits started
against their seats in the legislature.
1t would seem that the sheriffs office
undertook to delay the matter to the
last, in hopes of making report that
no service could be made, at least that
is the impression of one of the attorneys
for the contestants. The law stipulates,
however, that in event the officer can
pot find the parties contested, the official
notices may be left at their places of
abode.

CIVIL FEDERATION.
National Move for Arbitre ton of In
dustrial troubles.

Chicago, Dec. IA conference on "Tn-
dustrial Cancellation and Arbitration
under the auspices of the National Civil
Federation, began here at 1890 O'Clock
today. Steinway hall was but half filed
when the conference was opened, but the
secretary said that the labor captains
present from various points of the coun-
try formed good return on the invita-
ti6ns sent out. The conference has as it's
object the stirring up of public senti-
ment by means of intelligent discussion
between representatives of labor and en-
ployes rather than Of taking definite ac-
ton, although it is not unlikely that
some resolutions giving the sentiment of
the conference on the best Ways of deal
ing with industrial disputes will come
up'before the close of the meeting, Tues
day night. The audience today listened
to the various views presented by the
speakers. President Samuel Gompers, Of
the Federation of Labor, was present
He will speak tonight.
The conference was called to order by

committee On arrangements. Carroll D.
