Last Night.
CLUB lUNANI NOUS
For the Location Of the Pror osed
Structure on the Couch and
Raines and McClelland
Property on the East
Side.

AT the meeting Of the CONNER
cial club last night, a resolution
was passed recommending the
erection Of the new federal Jail on
the property formerly occupied by
the Couch & Raines livery barn
and the McClelland stone building,
both of which were destroyed by
fire last year.
The proposed site is 200 by 150
feet and is an ideal location for the
Jail.
The club was unanimous in the
selection OF the proposed site, and
Mr. LaDow, special representative
of the department Of justice, who
was present at the meeting, will
recommend their selection to the
department.
AS soon as the site is approved
by the department, condemnation
proceedings will be instituted
The appraised value Of the prop
erty will be paid by public sub
scription. and COMMITTEES con-
sisting ofDr. Oliver Bagby, X. s.
X. Amos and George Nidiffer
was appointed to confer with the
owners OF the property and TO col.
lect the necessary funds.
District Attorney P. L. Soper
was requested to confer with the
officials Of the Frisco system to
obtain their consent to the placing
of drainage canal on the right of
way leadingto Bull creek. While
the railroad property will have to
be condemned to obtain title yet
it is desired that an amicable
agreement be reached to prevent
any litigation.
The committee which is to con-
fer with the owners of the pro-
posed site will also confer with the
owners Of property through which
the drainage pipes will pass to OBJ
tain their consent.
The plans for the proposed jail
provide for an ornate and commo-
dious building.
The plans call for a two-story
building, which will be divided
into two parts, one for the admin
istration building and the other
for the jail proper.
The administration building will
be 90 feet wide and 40 feet deep,
and the lower floor will be divided
into rooms for the jailor turnkey,
reception of prisoners, storage
and cooking.
The upper floor will be used for
female prisoners, hospital, and
room for convalescents. Both
floors will be well equipped with
bath tubs, to be supplied with Wa
ter from an artesian we'll.
The Jail proper will be 100 feet
in length by so feet in width. The
Jail block will be S0xS0 feet, and
on the lower floor will be divided
into four cages. The cages will
be 12x30 IT,. with grated fronts,
and will be constructed of the fin-
est steel. Each cage will accomo-
date l6 men, with separate bunk |
for each. In addition to these will

Under what is called the old style
the Julian calendar assumed the length
of the solar year to be 365A days,
whereas it was eleven minutes and a
few seconds less. This annual error
accumulated as years rolled on and be-
gan to be fully recognized about the
beginning of the sixteenth century,
The Gregorian calendar, or new style
of writing dates, was first introduced
in the year 1852, and ten days were
then struck out of the calendar. 9th
er regulations were also made-name-
ly. that one day more should be drop
ped in each hundredth year which was
not fourth hundredth after 1882. In
England the old style was directed to
be discontinued and the new style in
troduced in the year 1852.
The change of style was effected in
the following manner in September,
1852: Eleven days being the difference
between dates written according to the
two styles. old and new, the day after
Wednesday, Sept 2, 1852. was called
Thursday, Sept. IA, 1852. emitting the
Sd to the 18th, both inclusive. A care
full reading Of the article on "Calen-
dar" in any encyclopedia will assist
the reader and student to a fair COM
prehension of the old style and new
style differences and why.

The India Hindoos and Mussulmans
alike wear both sandals and shoes
(slippers). and the latter boots also.
The sandal (the word Is Persian) was
evidently the original covering for the
feet over all southern and eastern
Asia, while the shoe was probably in
troduced into India by the Persians,
Afghans and Mo(n)gols, together with

boot.
/, Both are usually made in India of
leather, but never of pigskin, and,
while the shoes are always colored red
or yellow, the boots are generally
brightly particolored. both among the

DUMAS AS A COOK.

He Was Particularly Good In the
Preparation of Turkeys.
Dumas pere was in producing the
slave of his pen and never studied in
his life. No author ever owed less to
education or book learning and more
to perpetually fresh and unsophisti-
Gated mind and to sociable intercourse
with the bright spirits of his day, the
upper Bohemia, the best artists, dra-
matte authors and lions of various
kinds Of his time. His one accom-
plishment was his neat, flowing, clerkly
handwriting, but he knew nothing of
science, of any kind of serious htera-
ture, and as he had never thought of
punctuation before he burst on the
world as an author left it always to
the proofreader. Like Rossini, If
Dumas had not been the author of
"Monte-Christo'' and other novels that
brought him each fortune (Which he
spent as soon as he made), he might
have been a great cook.
I partook of a lunch he cooked two
years before his death at the house of
Gudin, the painter. He came to cook
it in this way: Gudin, meeting him
on a Friday on the boulevard, said:
"a friend has just sent me three splen-
did turkeys from Devonshire. What
shall l do with themY' You should
let me cook Them" said Dumas. "An
right" But l must go tomorrow to
prepare them for the spit" Dumas
arrived next morning with a hamper
full of truffles for the turkeys and, not
to allow any to go to waste, brought
calves sweetbreads and other dclica-
cies which are the better for truf1le ac-
compartments. He prepared his "plats"
carefully and suggested that If Gudin
wished to invite friends to a particu-
larly well cooked lunch then was his
time. Perhaps" he added, "you had
better call on Alboni and ask her to
come. She will crown the feast by
singing a brindisi" So said, so done.
Dumas acted as chef in the kitchen
until it was almost time to serve the
lunch.
A most brilliant company had been
invited to judge of 'le grand Alex
andres" culinary talents. They de-
clared he deserved the name of "Alex-
andre lie Grand" and expressed their
sorrow that his literary genius had de-
prived the world of the greatest chef
Of the nineteenth century. Dumas
used also to cook the grand dinners
which Nine. Rattazzi gave at Florence
when her husband was prime minister
of Italy.-London News.

She Made Herself Understood.

She was young and innocent looking
and coy and shy, and the half dozen
men among the passengers on Chica-
60 street car the other day caught
themselves looking at her more than
once and almost wishing they had such
a daughter. Presently another girl got
in, and the two exchanged exclama
lions of surprise. Two minutes later
the last conner was saying loud enough
to be heard all over the car:
"Dear me, Madge, but your new hat
is stunnerw
Eyes? Do you like it?'

have provided me with the best, the
fare consisted of pones, fried squirrel
and corn coffee every meal. On the
fifth day l must have let slip some
sign that things were growing monoto-
nous, for he looked over at me and
said:

EcOnOmfcal.

A young man living on Walnut Hills
is a close worker in money matters
that is, he stays close to the shore with
his expenditures. He had the good
luck to marry girl whose parents are
quite wealthy and is at present living
with his wife in one of his father-in-
laws houses.
One day not long since while dis
cussing affairs with a friend the latter
asked:
did the old gentleman give you that
houseY'
"Well-er-no, not exactly" was the
answer. "He offered it to me, but /
wouldn't accept it."
"How's that?" asked the friend.
"Well," answered the man who had
made the lucky matrimonial venture,
'you see, the house really belongs to
me. I'm living in it, rent free, and TIL
get it when the old man dies. If ac-
cepted it now, I'd have to pay the
taxes. "-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Z She of the settlement work actually
smiled on him as though he had voiced
her sentiments.
"Who gets this reward| inquired
Miss Ainsley in cuttingly clear voice.
Kathleen glanced from the flushed face
Of Dangler to. the severe countenance
Of her mother The landlady looked
as though she had just burned batch
Of lemon pies. The situation was
saved by the sudden appearance of
Buttons with Dangler's belated laun-
dry package.
"Here, Buttons" said Miss Ainsley
with cordial smile. you can have the
widest. sort of time on this" She
slipped the coins in Buttons unresist-
ing hand. "And no one else seems to
care particularly about it,
If the incident had been closed at
this instant, it would have been bet
ter, but three evenings later the entire
household was on the qui vive over
mysterious package which had arrived
by, special messenger during the after
noon. 1t was addressed in large,
flowing hand. ITO the young man who
found JIM" The conclusion was OBJ
vious. The owner of Jim had realized
his base ingratitude and had repented
to the tune of handsome remem-
brance.
Dangler was distressingly late, and
many of the boarders were toying with
their coffee when he arrived. The de-
mand that he open the package was
unanimous. Blushingly he consented.
The strings were shipped. the paper
fell back and before the astonished
eyes of the boarders rose dogs muz-
zle and certain wire continuance in
dispensable to that federal offceholder
known as a dog catcher.
The boarders individually and col
lectively stood willing to wager that
Seward had perpetrated this unfeeling
joke. But the sphinxlike countenance
above the immaculate cream colored
four-in-hand was neither paler nor
more flushed than usual.
Sympathy unuttered, but neverthe-
less strong, was felt for the unfortu-
nate Dangler.
But, after all. perhaps it was mis-
placed. Women. especially in affairs
of the heart. view events from a Pc
culiar and unexpected standpoint. The
landlady announced Kathleen's engage
ment to Dangler two Sundays later at
dinner. The champagne which fol-
lowed the announcement was general
ly supposed to be the outward and Wis
ible sign Of the exuberant happiness of
Dangler, and no one married the occa-
sion by unfeeling "reminiscences.

Onion Sauce.

usually served with Dreaded lamb
chops try an onion sauce made in this
way: Slice two or. if very small, three
onions and cook them in water for
few moments and drain. Put them in
to just enough boiling water to cover,
add little salt and cook until tender.
Cook together two tablespoonfuls each
of flour and butter and when perfectly
smooth add one-half pint of stock,
three or four tablespoonful of cream
and saltspoonful each of. salt and
sugar and a dash Of cayenne. When
the onion is tender, press it through a
colander and add the water in which
it had been cooked.-New York Post.
