HOUSEHOLD HELPS AND HINTS

Keep vinegar in wood, glass or granite iron ware.
 A queer little contrivance shown in house-furnislling stores is machine for making ice cream sandwiches.
 Lard for pastry should be hard, so it can be cut with a knife. It should be cut through the four, not rubbed.
 Lamp chimneys, if placed over the fire. immersed in cold water, which is gradually brought to the boiling point, will not crack so readily.
 The juice from fruit pies will not run out in baking if small roll of stiff white paper is inserted through the crust, in an upright position, when the pies are put into the oven. The tube acts as a vent for the steam.
 To salt almonds, first blanch by pouring over them boiling water, then spread on a smooth baking tin, add few small pieces of butter and stand in the oven until nicely Drowned, then dust with dried salt and stand away to cool.
 One of the best of sauces for cold meat is horseradish sauce. It may be made quite simply, using only the horseradish, vinegar, cream and, of course, the indispensable salt and pepper. Mix well together three ta- blespoonfuls of grated horseradish, one tablespoonful of vinegar, one fourth teaspoonful of salt and either cayenne or paprica. Whip one-half cupful of cream until it is stiff and mix it with the other ingredients just before serving.

YOUNG coRRETT SIGNS.

Omaha, Neb, Jan 1-Young Corbett yesterday signed articles of agreement to fight before the Coliseum Athletic club of Denver, Col, any featherweight in the world weighing not over 126 pounds. The negotiations were carried on by telegraph. The contract calls for fight on or before May and ST. 900 is deposited by Corbett that he will be in first class fighting trim The same amount is put up by the Denver people to be forfeited in case they are interfered with in the fight. Young Corbett agrees not to enter into spar ring match or fight before the Denver match. Corbett expresses no prefer ence, but says he is willing to meet anyone the Denver club wishes to put against him.

M'GovERN AND SULLIVAN.

Terry McGovern and Dave Sullivan will fight in San Francisco in the sec ond week in February. When the bids for the fight were opened yesterday 1t was found that the Yosemite A. c. of San Francisco, represented by Jim Kennedy, had made the best offer and the managers of the fighters decided to accept it. The Yosemite club will give D per cent of the receipts to the pugilists. Sam Harris, the manager of McGovern. hopes that victory over Sullivan for his man will open the way for return match with Young Cor bett. who defeated the featherweight champion in Hartford on Thanksgiv- ing day It is probable, however, that he will have to put up more than one fight before Corbett will consent to take him on. The latter fighter has declared that he will not fight anybody before May.

 New Haven, Jan 1.-Waterbury de feated New Haven at the Chapel street rink last night in one of the most ex- citing games played here this season. The Waterbury team lined up with no changes. Conway played his usual rough game, and three fouls were called on him. New Haven lost a goal in both the first and second peril ods on account of the ball rolling out Waterbury lost one in the same way in the second and one on fouls. Wa terbury started off by scoring two in the first to nothing for New Haven. In the second only one goal was scored and that by New Haven. Tn the third. after New Haven and Waterbu ury had scored one apiece, leaving the score 3 to 2, Conway made his third foul and Waterbury lost a goal. and matters were evened up.

DIED WHILE He SLEPT
CHARLES j. MAGUSsON, A LUMBER
MAN, FOUND DEAD IN BED
His BedfeIIOVv Wakes Up to Discover
Himself Sleeping With
COrpse-His Residence
Unknown.

Charles 7. MagusSon was found dead
in bed in the boarding house of Mrs. A.
Becker, 500 Kittson street, yesterday
morning at o'clock. He was found by
Dennis Murphy, who occupied the same
bed. Murphy says that Magusson was
breathing at clock, but Deputy Cor
oner Haas, who was called, discredited
his statement, as rigor was well devel-
oped at the time he was called, and the
body must have been dead several hours.
Coroner Haas ordered the body removed
to the morgue, and an autopsy was per-
formed on the remains by Drs. Miller,
Haas and FinnelI. 1t was ascertained
that death was due to heart disease. He
also was suffering from congestive pneu-
monia and Bright's disease.
A notebook was found in the dead
mans pockets, giving the name Of
Charles Peterson and a Minneapolis adj
dress. The name of Magusson also APP
peared in the book A card issued by
an employment agency indicated that he
was to go to work for E. J. Bremen, at
Wishix, N. D. He had just taken out
naturalization papers, and these were
found in his room.
Magusson was dressed as a lun1berman,
and he had in his room complete lum-
berman's kit. He came to the boarding
house about a week ago and engaged a
weeks board, paying in advance. He
did not give his name, and said nothing
Of his home. No one appears to know
the man nor his residence.

STAIRS TOO STEEP
PATRONS OF CITY LIBRARY REGIS
TER COMPLAINT TO BUILDING
DEPARTMENT
GREAT DANGER OF ACCIDENTS
When Old Market Hall Was Con-
verified to Library, Work Was
Done in Loose, SIipshOd
Manner.

Though practically beyond the control
of the city building Inspector at this late
date, complaint has been made to that
department regarding the danger at
tendant upon the unusual SteepneSS of
the main stairway at the public library.
During the day the use Of these stairs
is obviated by the elevator which carries
all library patrons to the floor above, but
this lift is shut down at o'clock and
access is then only possible through the
medium of the stairs. There are two sets
of these stairs and they are set at such
an acute grade, that the least false step
would send the climber crashing to the
bottom.
Said member of the building depart
ment yesterday:
when the Market hall was converted
into library, the work was under TIE
supervision of former Building Inspector
Samuel Haas, and to my own knowledge
things were permitted that were in de-
fiance Of the building laws, even weak as
they were then. 1t was a public enter
prise and bubbles over this and that
were swept aside that the improvement
might be gotten through with the least
money possible.
'The fact that the building is only two
stories high and that exits are numerous,
removes any danger by fire to those that
may inhabit it during the day and even
ms, poI IL ny Ho means REDUCES the pos
sibility of loss to the city that could re-
suit should it catch fire. The building in
more than one way is fire trap ana
menaces a collection that the city could
i'll afford to lose, its books"
so far, falls by reason of steepness Of
the stairs on the Seventh street side Of
the building have been few, but this
does not reduce the liability of the city
in case bad accident should occur
The city legal department IS confronted
daily with damage suits. the causes of
which are trif1es compared to the basis
that the library stairs would furnish.

troubles cropped out in many quarters.
some OF these were arranged for without
delay, and others dragged along in I'M
certain state, SO that thew came in for
consideration by the various labor bodies
tonight.
Durlng these meetings, judging from
what was argued by the men, independ-
ent strikes Of bodies seem impending,
put the leaders in the strike just ended
are sanguine that they still hold control
OF the entire organized labor body and
will not again be obliged to order strike
OF the freight handlers, or its more seri-
Gus accompaniment, a sympathetic strike
of affiliated bodies.
Tomorrow will show more clearly the
conditions in this respect.
The special side of the strike breaking
today presented an army of workingmen
rushing helter- skelter to get to their old
positions. There had been more than TO-
600 places vacated, and fully 10 per cent
Of the men found their places filled. This
was the reason for friction all day, af-
fecting only the men themselves, for con-
Germs were too busy raising the embargo
on goods in their keeping TO give heed
to talk of unfairness Freight began to
move at docks, freight sheds, from and
to wholesale houses and factories. and
upon the streets and by night great IN
accumulation of goods.
With the breaking of the strike, en-
ployers of freight handlers, team drivers
or Jumpers rushed into print with calls
for more help. Even concerns which
heretofore have been bound to unionsim
seem to have grasped the opportunity of
hiring whom they liked. 1t is on this
point of all others, that the critical phase
Of the situation tonight hangs.
The real battle today was between the
men who control the strike and the rep
resentatives of great interests who had
been prevailed. upon to consider certain
propositions as way to settlement of
the trouble. AS for three days past, it
was Gov. Crane. at HIS office at the state
house, who stood between the parties at
issue
Judge. Reed at the request Of Gov
crane, issued the following statement:
This is large question, involving
many interests and a reasonable time viii

are anxious for a settlement. If the pub

Give ALL A CHANCE
NEW BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
WILL NOT SUBMIT TO
COMBINES
MoRE FREEDOM IN BIDDING
Effort Will BE Made to Have Paving
Specifications Wide Enough
to Let in Outside
Contractors.

Can the board Of public works make
the specifications and requirements for
any class of street improvement so broad
that bids on all kinds of material be in
Nited and competition thus encouraged?
The old board consisting of Messrs.
Mabon and Hammer. claimed not, but the
new board thinks it can be done and has
accordingly asked for an opinion on the
subject from the city legal department.
The question arises from the bids for the
Curbing Of Carroll street which were
opened Tuesday and which We're rejected
because they savored to greatly of the
Kettle river sandstone combine and its
agents in st. Paul.
Every foot of curbing laid in st. Paul
last year was Kettle river sandstone and
the old board excused its preference IN
this direction and its inability to call for
bids on other material on the ground
that it was the best and that when the
Improvement Of any street was decided
upon, the materials entering into it's con-
sTuction must be determined upon, named
in the specifications and bids invited ac-
cCrdingly.
This theory, the new board claims, if
insisted upon, would be the very life of
combines and would shut out those who
can furnish the city with material just
as good. In all paving specifications
turned out last year. certain grades and
manufacture Of brick were named, where
such was required, and the same applied
10 paving, in which sandstone and asphalt
were the materials used. By this method
rival grades of material were barred, and
outside contractors are permitted to bid
only at prices that practically shut them
out
The most of the brick down on the
streets of st. Paul is the product of one
or two manufacturers and the same might
be said of the asphalt Protests on the
ground Of discrimination were frequent
from contractors last year, but they were
never needed by the board
The property owners are going to get
their just dues from this board or we VIII
know the reason why" said Commission
er Murphy, yesterday. Sandstone is not
the only material on earth that can be
used for curling. If we can do it, we
viii invite bids on all kinds of stone and
take our pick, or if that is impossible we
viii specify granite. l know every prop
erty owner wants street work to cost
him as little as possible and this has
barred granite, though it is the best, but
/ believe we can get granite curbing as
cheap as the price now asked for sand
stone. WinOna also has good stone and
we might decide to include it in the spect-
HCations.'
Throughout the southern part Of the
state the Winona product has the prefer
ence ana is even used for sidewalks, be-
cause of its hardness and lasting quail
tiles. In Chicago there are number of
streets curbed with this material
Some comment has been made on the
fact that the bids were under the city
engineers estimate, but it is known that
City Engineer Claussen for unexplained
reasons advanced his estimates on all
improvements in which sandstone was
used.
