TO MAKE AND COOK oMELETs.
Some Directions Which May He New to Most Young Housewive.
 and Cooks.

Omelets may be considered as of two kinds, omelets and omelet souf- fes. In the first whole eggs are used; in the second the whites are separated and added in froth. The omelet pan should be of fairly thick material with rather sloping and shallow sides, so that u knife can easily be slipped around; it must be kept exclusively for the one purpose, if taken for indiscrin1inate frying the omelets suffer. It should be kept clean by wiping while still hot with paper, and then a dry cloth, but should never be washed. as water renders it more liable to catch and burn, says American Queen.
 The butter used for frying is incor- porated during the cooking with the eggs; it should therefore be unsalt- ed, and must not be allowed to be- come overheated, as the slightest browning of the butter will spoil both appearance and taste. Salt but gives rough and rather bitter taste, and for all sweet omelets, at any rate, the salt is in excess.
 The eggs for the omelet require to be well beaten, but not overmuch, as if much froth is formed it separates from the liquid too easily and the mixture does not set sufficiently for folding. If the onelet soufHe, how ever, the yolks require little beating, but the whites can hardly be too stiff. They must be freshly whipped and used at once. The mixing of the yolks and seasonings with the whites is point on which special care must be taken, for if roughly handled the whites are broken and watery, while if not thoroughly blended they sepa- rate and cook in tough pieces, un- pleasant to taste, and leaving the omelet unaffected by their light ness.
 Both kinds should be quickly cooked, but the omelet souff1e re- quires rather less heat than the sim pie omelet. Have all the surround ings thoroughly hot, the frying pan not merely hot in the middle, but all over and the butter hot without q suspicion of coloring. For the ome- let bottom heat only is required and should be applied evenly as well as quickly, as the omelet toughens if too long or unequally cooked. The omelet is folded either in two or three before removing from the pan so that the bottom folds over and in- closes the still liquid top. The ome- let soufae is set with top heat after frying on the bottom, and when tint ed brown and cooked a broad knife should be slipped under, right across the middle of the pan, and the orne- let lifted on the knife so that the two sides fall and the top is on the outside. The dish for serving should be quite hot and ready the moment required. The doubled omelet souf- fie must te laid on the hot dish, in- stantly covered, and not exposed to air in carrying from the kitchen. Meat or fish added to omelets must be previously cooked-except oys- ters, which require no cooking. Any
 materials added must be finely minced to prevent their weight car rying them to the bottom of the pan, where they would scorch.

HON JOHN GRIGsBY.p

Frank keenan is destined to make one of the successes of his theatrical career in the above character comedy. written by Charles Klein and adapted
 in its present form by Langdon Mitch ell. He presented it again at Polls theater last evening. and he was
 greeted by a very large and very
 much pleased and enthusiastic audi
 ence. The play affords Mir Keenan
 ample scope in which to display his
 talents, and he takes advantage of
 each opportunity. It is strictly an
 American production and the scenes of
 the story are laid i'll Illinois back in
 1S49. The Hon John Grigsby Is !
 lawyer of rugged honesty, generous to fault and an opponent of dishonest politicians and their methods. Elect
 ed to the supreme bench he refuses to be party to q political scheme 10 make his state q slave one and he Is
 bounded by the proprietor of the lead-
 ing newspaper of the state until all
 his manhood is aroused and he begins
 q fight against odds of great magni-
 tilde. He protects the unfortunate
 young white woman who has come to
 his county to teach the negro children.
 and who was inSulted and reviled in
 the same paper which has marked
 himself for destruction. He is-threat- ened with ruin and expulsion from his state. His son. i'll whom he has the greatest pride. Is in love with the
 daughter of the owner of the paper who is forcing him to the wall. and lie
 Is used as tool to drive the father to take up the cause of those who would make Illinois a slave state. He enters suit against the paper in behalf of the young lady teacher he has befriended
 and refuses to withdraw 1t. although threatened with destruction. Just when everything looks the darkest, he learns Of the double life being led by the newspaper proprietor, and con- fronts him with all his wickedness
 and the tables are turned. So inter- esting and intense were the climaxes that Mir Keenan received more than the usual amount Of curtain calls, and at the end of the second act he was 1 forced to address the audience. He said that when he began his career as
 star he made up his mind to give no speeches before the curtain, as he considered it bad art. He was forced
 however because of the generous wei come he had received to speak a few words. He thanked the audience not
 only for himself but for his company He was more than pleased because such a critical audience had noticed the little things of the production as we'll as the more prominent ones.

The latter does not love his cousin, nor does Anne love him. Hardness falls in love with Ely OConnor daughter of an old rope maker of Garryowen, a poor peasant who was under the ban of his bishopa The only witness to the marriage was Danny Mann, q hunchback and faith- ful follower Of Hardness. This mar rage is kept a secret until Mrs Cregan insists on Hardness paying better re- spect to his betrothed. Danny, seeing his master in trouble, and knowing that Hardress has seen his mistake in wedding the peasant girl, proposes to Hardness to get rid of Ely, his wife. Hardress resents the proposition and hurls Danny to the ground. Danny, in the meantime, sees the mother of Hardness and asks her to give him the glove of Hardress and he will take Ely away where she will never trou- ble them any more. Mrs Cregan un- suspectingly gives the glove and Dan- ny tells her she will see no more of the Colleen Bawn.
 Old Corrigan has appeared on the scene before this and as he hold the mortgage on the Cregan estates, he de mands his money. Mrs Cregan tells him to wait until Anne and Hardress are married and then Corrigan tells of ho m Ecf 6yir Fl q a c across the lake He also proposes marriage to Mrs Creegan, but Is re pulsed and driven from the house by Hardness.

DAN DAILY.

The engagement of Dan Daily to ap- pear i'll ..The New Workers Thursday evening at Polls is an event of un- usual interest, marking, as it does, the first appearance of this eminent com edian on the local stage. Somehow it has happened that he has never be- fore played Waterbury, albeit every theater- goer in the town is familiar with his record as one of the most gifted comedians that the American stage has ever produced. Eccentric and peculiar in his ways, on the stage he Is a genuine wonder, and an evening spent with him Is sure to be one of rare pleasure. The entire strength of the New York company. numbering 15 people. and the metropolitan pro- duction complete. will be seen here. so that very fine performance of .'The New Workers is assured. The sale of seats opens tomorrow at D, 50 75 cents. $1 and S1.50.

Costly Government Clock.

Scattered throughout the various Washington departments are hun- dreds of clocks and chronometers, which cost the government annually thousands of dollars. The chro- nometers are the most expensive clocks in existence, and they are to be found on board every warship of the United States. These timepieces cost $400 each. The ones most con- suited are those in the marble room of the senate and in the speakers lobby of the house. Hundreds of people daily correct their watches by them. --'-

VAUDEVILLE AT THE JACQC ES.
 That interest in Prince Henry is very great was shown yesterday at the Jacques by the ayidity with which the two large audiences watched the VI tagraph pictures. which showed the Prince in Washington and at the launching of Emperor Williams yacht, Meteor at Shooters Island. The pie lures are wonderfully bright and clear. and in the scene of the launching the spectators can easily pick out Miss Alice Roosevelt as she names the yacht just as it slides off the ways. Lots of fun was had, too with the comedy acts. particularly good being Flinders Furnished Flat as pre- sented by Willard Simms and his little company and Two Chatty Chums, introduced by Linton and Mcintyre. Other attractive acts are presented by Sharpley and Flynn, Leroy and Wood ford and others. Prices are 10 and 70 cents for the matinees, all ladies 10; evening prices for all 10, 20 and 30 cents.

STORY FROM SOUTH AFRICA.
One Time When Lord Kitchener'a Quick Judgment Was a Little
 at Fault.

A story that illustrates the danger of making oyerhasty judgments of men is told in the Navy and Army H. tustrated. It may or may not be strict. ly true, but at any rate it is amusing.
 It seems that Lord Kitchener, about a year ago, made trip along the rail- road between ,Iohanne sburg and Bloemenstein, fitting out extemporary columns of mounted infantry to chase away the enemies who were threaten- ing his communications. At one Of the stations, Vredfort Raad, he foun some waifs and strays from variou. regiments, who seemed to have noth- ing particular to do; and as this was state of things of which he strongly disapproved, he decided to send them into the field at once. Going to the waiting-room, to look for officers, he found there only one mana smart, well-dressed individual, who found inn mediate favor in the eyes of the com mander in chief.
 YouWill command corps of mount ed infantry I've just formed," said Lord Kitchener, who is of all things q man of quick Judgment and prompt action.
 Very good, sir; what will my duties be?''
 Don't you know your duties?'
 Yes, sir--my own"
 Then don't argue. What is your regiment?"
 ''Blankshires, sir.''
 What rank?'

MIR. sCHWAB'S ILLNESS

Five years ago nobody outside of
Pittsburg and the steel trade had
heard of Charles M. Schwab. Now
when he has a headache and a slight
fever and his doctors think it advisa-
bic for him to remain at home for a
few days the matter is considered of
sufficient Importance to be mentioned
at length in the newspapers, to be ca
bled to Europe and to be commented
on there editorially by the leading pa
pers.
One of the Vienna papers seriously
considers the question whether his
place could be filled, calls attention to
the nervous energy with which Amer
leans carry on their business enter
prises and assumes that they must be
afflicted with all sorts of nervous trou-
hles.
1t is a fact of course that there is
anxiety felt among those who hold or
speculate in the shares of the billion
dollar trust whenever Mr. Schwab
is i'll. In fact, the entire steel trade
is interested to a greater or less ex-
tNiAe A1A his Qi& COIluillOns IN the
industrial and financial world he holds
great place. No doubt his place
could be filled, but 1t would not be an
easy matter to fill 1t satisfactorily.
There are but few men who know the
steel business as thoroughly as he does.
and who, at the same time, have the
executive ability to carry on such an
immense business as that of the United
| States Steel Corporation.
The burden of responsibility that he
carries is immense, The strain is con-
tinuous and very great. STILL it is
probable that he does not permit his
business to worry him, and as long
as he doesn't worry there is not much
| danger that he will break down. A
man who worried could not fill the
position Mr.. Schwab holds and live
| long.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Birmingham News Dem.), says:
Mr.. Bryan received a very f1attering
reception in New England The cleo
toral votes of that section, however,
will as usual be cast for the Repuhli-
can nominee"
The Albany IN. ", Argus Oem.) },
says; Gen. Fitzhugh Lee says: I be-
heve the crisis in Cuban affairs is now.
Gen. Lees opinion on this matter is
entitled to greater consideration than
that of most men, for he is thoroughly
well informed on the subject
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.), says: I'VE hear a good deal
rowdays about the evils of war, but
most of the evils usually catalogued
are not to be compared to one that is
generally overlookcd-the tendency of
soldiers who are mainly and gallant
during war to become, after war is
over, persistent pension mendicants."
The Chicago Chronicle (Dem.), says:
IF the grain crop turns out to be a
hummer the Republican campaign ora
tors will, as usual, claim that their
party is to be credited with the big
rains of the last three months. If,
on the other hand, the crop is badly
damaged responsibility for the pluvial
visitation will be saddled upon the
Democratic party and the devil in
equal parts"
The Springfield (Mass.). Republican
Qnd), says: dealers in the provi-
sion trade of London say that feed is
dearer there than it has been in %
years. Bacon and meats generally have
risen a third in price for the same rea-
son as in the United States, which sup
plies Great Britain with much of it's
provisions. and many other eatables
are similarly affected. The head OF
enc of the largest concerns in London
is quoted as saying that a man now
earning 80 shillings week is not as
well paid in real wages as one who
earned % shillings two years ago. This
Is quite as true of the United States as
of England. And we have to face the
necessity of paying extraordinary
prices for fuel as well. The coming
winter promises 10 be hard and costly
for the people in this part OF the
world"
