A curious list might he made Of the
names Of European notables whose
ancestors mighty swords are rusting
In some dark corner of the palace
while they WELD the still more mighty
pen. King Oscar of Sweden frequently
contributes to the papers OF Stock
holm, and has more than once taken
up his own cause, defending his acts
against criticism and censure. The
scientific works of Duke Charles Theo-
dore of Bavaria are considered as au-
thoritative. The Queen Of Roumania
is best known under her pen name Of
Carmen Sylvia. Were it not for the
large salary that he received from an
American paper for his gossip Of high
life in England, the Duke of Manches-
ter would have felt keenly the pressure
of his many debts. Lady Sarah Will
son, aunt of the Duke of Marlborough,
distinguished herself as a war CORES
pondent in South Africa. In the inter
walls of speech making Kaiser William
INDUCES his fondness for writing plays
and poetry. Even King George of

Portugal have tried their hands at
translating Shakespeare. The Duchess

One of the features OF the recent
prom. week Of the Yale juniors at New
Haven was the entertainment OF guests
In the rooms of the students who oc.
cupy gorgeous suites in the handsome
dormitory buildings throughout the
town. Not only were there beautifully
spread tea tables for the s o'clock en-
tertainment OF the fair guests, but
many of the more progressive stu
dents provided elaborate luncheons
suppers and even dinners which had
the charm Of novelty for the young
women and their chaperons from out
OF town. Many Of these feasts were
provided by caterers and were accom-
panied by flowers and orchestras in
regulation fashion, but by far the jol-
lest We're the impromptu spreads
where magic dishes over which the
hosts presided with the air Of conf
dence that comes only of successful
experience. In fact chatting dish cook
cry has become fad with the college
boys Of Yale, of Princeton and OF Cor
nell and there are rumors that many
or the more accomplished of these
amateur chefs have taken courses in
the culinary art from private instruc-
tors. Many Of the boys possess not
only one chatting dish, but series in
different sizes, utilizing one specially
for fish, one for the cooking OF birds
and others for vegetables and these
dishes combined with the salad bowls
and the tea services give thoroughly
domestic look to the rooms of some of
the students. In the making OF tea
there Is high standard or excellence
maintained, although the pouring Of 1t
is always given into the hands OF some
kindly chaperon. There Is consider
able rivalry among these amateur
cooks as to the results which they nut
forth and for this reason some of the
feasts were marvellous in the variety
and extent Of the viands served as
well as the cleverness with which they
Were prepared above the flaming
lamps. The laurel was awarded to the

steak and the smallest being a pigmy

While Escaping From a Burning
Steamer Burned to the Waters

Houghton, Mich, May 1.-THE pas
senger steamer Bon Voyage caught fire
in Lake Superior last night and was
beached near the Portage ship canal.
"A telephone message fran Red Ridge,
the village nearest the spot where the
steamer was put on the shore, says that
hVe passengers, all women, were
drowned in getting from the boat to
the shore. The rest of the passengers,
al. OF them men, and the crew, escaped
in safety to the beach. The burning
steamer was first sighted about 8
o'clock. She was then several miles
out from the shore and headed for the
beach. The steamer was burning fierce
ly. but was apparently in control of the
crew, who did not have time to make
the ship canal. but headed for the shore
near Red Ridge, south of the canal.
The steamer struck the bottom nearly
a mile from land, owing to the shoaf
water. observers from distance
failed to see the life boats lowered, bat
they must have been used to aid the
passengers and crew, who escaped.
The tug Mary T.. left the canal, fol-
lowed by the tugs Medium and Fred
"A. Lee. the latter carrying the life saw
Ing crew, as soon as the burning boat
was sighted. They have not returned
as yet. The steamer is now seen to be
wrapped in fire from bow to stern and
must be burned to the waters edge.
She will probably be total loss. Mrs.
B. Altman and three daughters OF Du-
luth Were among the drowned.

is not served In the ugly oyergroWn

Shad roes, saute in the chatter, fol-
lowed with hot house cucum bers.
Stuffed olives, crisp celery and all
monds, were passed about in quaint
silver baskets, together with thinIy-
sliced brown bread, buttered and cut
in star sandwiches. In the meantime
the triumphant host was essaying q
no less important dish than spring
lamb and green peas. In one dish the
daintiest of chops were being saute
with a gill of wine as sauce, while
in another fresh southern peas were
cooking. The peas We're served with
cream, butter, salt and pepper; and
Bermuda potatoes, fried crisp in the
corkscrew spiral style, known as q la
Sarah, accompanied the chops. After
this a dish Of Neapolitan spaghetti
was prepared and was the success of
the evening. This is the dish upon
which this particular host prides him
self and as spaghetti in a chatting dish
is something of a novelty the method
OF preparing 1t is Of interest. The
spaghetti was cooked soft and rinsed
in cold water and strained dry, The
sauce was made by melting an ounce
and half of butter in the outlet dish
and adding half OF small bottle of
French tomato conserve with pepper
and salt and three spoonfuls of beef
extract This was cooked over the hot
water dish for about ten minutes and
the spaghetti was added gradually.
Freshly grated Parmesan cheese was
added and the dish was served Salad

Fark RapIds, Mimi, May IA. - The
tension over the cutting Of green pine
has become intense on the White Earth
reservation, where the Indians have de-
cided in councils to protect their In
terests by force, IL necessary, and to
prevent the lumbermen from driving
the logs off the reservation until they
are rcscaled and paid for at green pine
rates.
Parties Of Indians, armed with win
chesters. have gone from Pine Point,
White Earth and Twin Lakes On the
White Earth reservation, to Round
lake, where the logs would enter the
Otter Tall river These parties number
IN the aggregate about sixty men, who
say they want no trouble and are after
only their rights. They will hold the
drive at Round lake and prevent the
drivers from sending the logs down the
Otter Tail until a new scale is made.
Special Agent McCommas, who is at
White Earth, has requested the COM
missioner of Indian affairs to send an
expert sca1er, and this request has al
layed the anger of the Indians for the
time being.
The Indians are incensed at Agent
mercer OF Leech Lake, who, 1t was
supposed, would look after their inter-
ests, and at the lumber companies, be-
tween whom they charge connivance
and fraude. They claim that the whole
sale cutting OF fine standing green
pine was repeatedly reported to Agent
Mercer from the time 1t commenced In
the early winter until the camps closed
in the spring.
Another source Of dissatisfaction on
the, part of the Indians is the alleged
fraudulent scaling Of the logs. They
claim collision between the scalers OF
the lumbermen and those of the agent.
whereby the scale fell short millions Of
feet, thus defrauding them of thou
sands of dollars.
The old feeling of distruct toward the
government is aggravated by the re-.
peated dispatches from Washington to
the press that only 70 per cent" of the
total cut of pine was green, whereas the
Indians estimate that at least rs per
cent was green standing pine; and that
the full confidence Of the interior de-
partment was reposed in these opera
tions. They hald that this confidence
in the face of the evidence Is unwar-
ranted, and that an investigation, in
dependent Of Agent Mercer, should be
granted.

E<ead, s. D., May 11.---Last evening a
set of boilers at the Highland hoist,
owned and operated by the Homestake
Mining company, blew up with terrific
force. The shock was felt in all parts
Of this city, the hoist being half q mile
( away. "A fire alarm was Immediately
turned In and all of the fire depart
ments responded. The first arrivals at
the scene witnessed a pile of irons and
wooden debris, with portions Of the
machinery scattered for several hun
dred feet around the hoist. Fire start
ed in the building, but it was soon I'm
der control. Ed Brelsford, engineer OF
the dynamo and air compressor, who
was pinned down by a portion Of the
boiled, was almost instantly killed.
Mandy Kiinger and John Cowlin, two
helpers about the hoist were severely
injured. but will survive. Several 9th
err men were more or less seriously in
iured. The Highland hoist is one OF
the largest and most important Of six
that are used by the company.
About one third of the ore is hoisted
there and large sawmill is operated in
connection In which all the timbers for
the mine are cut and prepared for the
workings. The hoist building and saw
mill are both completely demolished.
there are four sets Of boilers. The one
that blew up was put in a year ago,
No cause has yet been discovered for
the explosion. The boiler blew up fro'x
the center. The ends were blown sew
eral hundred feet.
The Homestake company will be crip-
pied until the hoist and sawmill can be
repaired. It is estimated that it will
cost the company between 100000 and
100000 in time lost and in repairs.

poor and ignorant Poles Of this city by
means OF the picture which the trick

The deception was SO simple and puerile
that the intelligent public did not ap-
preciate that soon the ignorant could
be mystified or duped by it until the ex-
element in the Polish quarter, where
the picture was on exhibition, had
grown, to alarming proportions. A wet
sponge has now removed the blood
stains, and the picture has been taken
away by order Of Rev. FIR. Papon, pas

additional cases Of smallpox In the city.
The present epidemic of smallpox has
been brought about by the inability Of
the physicians Of the city to agree as
to whether the sickness prevailing here
was smallpox or chickenpox, which
caused a lax observance of guarantees
