Approved of the Distinction.

A certain American writer of in
ternational reputation who died re-
Gently was, like so many other geni-
uses, strangely incapable of man
aging his own domestic affairs. The
small boy of the family was his ia
ther's pet, but the terror of the rest
of the household. Now it happened
that under this same roof with this
small boy lived to maiden aunts, sis
ters of his mother. That they were
thorns in his flesh he made no pre-
tense of concealing. On one occasion
when he had overstepped bit far
ther than usual the bounds of pro-
priety in addressing his relatives, his
Aunt Julia appeared before his ia
ther to state the case. Ner nephew
had called her a fool, while his Aunt
Martha he had characterized as a
- fool. The young offender was
summoned to the paternal presence.
Fixing him with his eye the father de-
manded:
Did you call young Aunt Julia a
fool?"
Yes"
did you call your Aunt Martha a
- fool?"
Yes"

WERE ROUGH ON OATS.
All That the Western Farmer Knew
of "En'grants."


United States Senator Henry NJ.
Teller of Colorado, who entered with
much spirit into the recent debate on
the Philippine tariff bill, is proud Of
the achievements of the Rocky Noun
tain states and loves TO tell stories of
the vigorous frontiersmen who blazed
the trail for American empire, says
the Philadelphia Post.
One story is of farming commu-
nifty that had established itself on the
sunset side of the Rockies. A num-
ber of farmers had gathered around
the stove at the village grocery, and
one of the company was reading aloud
from a newspaper
On account of the swarming of emf

stated, oats had become SO scarce
that the price had gone up in Den

A significant silence demonstrated
that the query had stumped the COM

oREeoNiAN IN NEW YORK.
His Interesting Experiences in the
Eastern Metropolis.

An old Portlander, who has been
travelling in the east for several
weeks. has returned. He has con
cluded that New York city is too
rapid in every way for him.
He was returning from suburban
resort to the city one day and saw
a bad tough knocked out by lady.
The contemplate hound had snug
gled up to one lady so close that she
left the train, and he then crowded up
against another lady and acted very
rudely. She pulled out one of her
hatpins and jabbed it clean through
his leg above the knee. He gave an
agonized yell and got out of the car
as quickly as possible, and just fell
off the platform.
After reaching the city the Port
lander took the street car to go to
his hotel. An old man who sat near
him signaled to the conductor and
got off the car on the wrong side. A
vast trench had been blasted out in
the center of the street, in which a
subway is to be constructed. This
trench Is thirty feet in depth, and the
old man stepped from the car down
into it. He was picked up and thrown
into bucket" in which rock is
hoisted out, the engine went "chu.
chu, chu," and he was brought to the
surface on rum an ambulance drove
up, he was thrown in and taken away
to hospital, and the car proceeded.

GOOD UPHILL GAME.
Sturdy Fight of Columbian to Beat
Virginia.

Followers of Columbian University and
the University of Virginia viewed yesterday
afternoon one of the pluckiest uphill fights
seen on a local diamond for many a day.
The crowd grew so interested as the Wash
ington team fought its way until abreast of
the Charlottesville students that twice the
umpire had to clear the diamond in order
to give the players room. Finally, when 1t
was too dark for either batsmen or fielders
to see the ball, Virginia managed to get two
men across the plate and break the tie,
winning by a score of to f. A large at
tendance, in which Virginia was we'll repre-
sented,. but Columbian predominated
cheered Justify until the game closed.
Columbfan'S team this year is altogether
new and while the men play well individu-
ally the nine is subject to those costly at
tacks of rattles in the field which often
mark the new ball team. In yesterdays
first inning the infield sustained such an
attack and refused to be cured until four
scratch hits had sent as many Virginia
men across the plate. Y. NJ. C. A. Park
was then a gloomy place for Columbian
friends. But the students soon recovered.
From that time until the last inning the
Charlottesville men were held down to two
hits and shut out from the home plate as
though they were playing league team.
Virginia played fully as well as when the
team met Harvard on the same diamond a
few days before. But the team would have
been badly beaten except for Columbian's
let down in the first inning. Peete pitched
good ball. but was located for ten hits
Connect at short helped the opposition with
two errors and a palpable block of the
runner at second. which gave Adams Of
Columbian an advance to third and ulti-
mately tied the score. Carter was, as usual
the star of the team.
Runkel and Sheldon walked away with
the honors for Columbian. The former had
batting record of five clean hits out of five
times at bat Sheldon struck out three
men, gave only two bases on balls and
made two hits. Everett. in left field, took
care of three difficult liners. but fell down
at the bat. Bielaski at third and White at
short, who were chiefly responsible for the
fiukes of the first inning, redeemed them
selves later in the game by sure, sharp in
field playing. Little Service. the receiving
end of the battery, had a total of seveI
put-outs, many of which were extraordi
nary catches. The score follows:

the potatoes always with their favoring
Of cheese, and the common French bean
transformed from the tasteless vegetable
it is ordinarily to most delicious dish,
rich in color and taste and tender in
quality as asparagus. although 1t is usually
the toughest and stringiest of vegetables.
The American cook usually considers that
when French beans, or string beans, as
they are better known, are stripped OF the
distinguishing string and boiled in water,
they are ready for the table But the
Italian method. or one Of the many meth
DDS, is more characteristic. The beans are
first placed in cold water after having been
prepared by stringing and breaking them
in inch pieces. After soaking for thirty
minutes they are dried and then thrown
into a saucepan or boiling water, with some
salt and butter. Then they are cooked
slowly for about half an hour. until tender.
and are then placed in a dish with fresh
butter, salt and pepper.
Another way of cooking string beans calls
for grated cheese. sprigs Of parsley, chives,
the yolks of two eggs, and beaten cream,
with tablespoonful of powdered sugar
added. Every known variety OF bean is
cooked by the Italian in a different man
ner. but there is always the addition of
some other food, and in many cases the
white and red wines Of the country give
the dish distinction and flavor.
In the same manner, the Italian dignifes
potatoes by some characteristic touch, add
ing butter, chopped parsley and the juice
of two lemons to one dish, while potatoes in
casseruola are a still more unusual dainty,
that would probably prove extremely mys-
tifying to the Irish epicurean. who always
prefers potato with bone in it''-which.
translated means a half cooked potato.
For the casseruoia one pound of mashed
potatoes is mixed with the yolks of four
eggs. half a pint of cream and two ounces
of butter in a saucepan. They are cooked
together until quite hot and stirred to a
flaky paste, then sprinkled with salt and
pepper This paste is arranged in a circle
on dish and set in the oven to brown.
The center space is filled in with fricassee
of chicken or rabbit or any kind of stew,
mushrooms or any cooked vegetables left
over from the day before, with the pulp
of six tomatoes stirred into the mixture.
The Italian has just thirty ways Of prepar-
ing this most ordinary vegetable. each one
cutie as new. as odd and appetizing as
the foregoing.

Plans Of the Magnates Not Made
Public at Adjournment.

After a prolonged session yesterday at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel. New York. the
executive committee Of the National League
adjourned last night without giving out
any definite information as to the course
to be pursued in getting back the players
that have jumped from the National to the
American League.
The committee, comprising Soden OF Bos-
ton, Hart Of Chicago and Brush of Cincin-
natl. carefully considered the Lajoie deci-
sion from every point Of view. That def
mite plan of action was decided on was not
denied.
"There is no use denying that we went
over the matter from every possible point
of view" said James A. Hart after the
meeting. but to make public what the OUT
come has been would be furnishing our enc
mics with ammunition. The National
League will undoubtedly follow up the vic
tory gained in the Pennsylvania supreme
court in the Lajoie case. Any inform ALTON
to be given out will come from our law
yers."
John Brush said:
"A plan has been figured out, but tust
what it Is cannot say at this time. n
would injure our interests greatly to make
anything public at this time We PROPOSE
to make a vigorous fight. and no one need
be surprised to see many OF the old league
