ANGELICA ROOT.
Return to Favor of an Old English
FIavOring for sweets and
Perfume for Clothes.

There is a sort of fad to-day for
early English goods and merchandise.
The old poultry seasonings are used
more than ever, chamomile and
chamomile tea are again in vogue in
the sick-room, and angelica plant is
for salt in the shops and stores, says
the New York Post. Many years ago
the angelica was exceedingly popular.
The flowers were employed to give
sweet perfume to clothes-presses and
bureau drawers, the tender stalks
were candied or preserved, and made
palatable connections, the leaves were
used as pot herbs, and the roots after
washing and scraping were converted
into a medicinal tea. There is a diff
ference between the English and the
American, angelica, the former being
smaller, more delicate, and more aro-
matte. The herb now in the market is
the English variety; most of it is inn
ported, but a large amount comes
from this country, where the British
plant has been successfully acclimated.
All these old uses have been revived,
and some new ones added to them. The
stems cut into small pieces, boiled un-
til soft, and then dipped in molten
sugar or in confectionery cream,
make a pleasant demulcent that is
quite efficacious for light coughs or
colds. The leaves chopped up with
parsley form an agreeable dressing
for lamb chops, and when mixed with
parsley and other pot herbs improve
the favor of pot-roast.
It's most enjoyable use is undoubted-
ly as a chief ingredient in the pot-pour-
ri jar. The best combination is one
third red rose leaves and two-thirds of
angelica flowers and leaves cut fine
with a sharp knife. These should be
placed in a jar with a little salt,
covered with water. weighted down
by stone, and then the jar
itself should be covered air-tight. In
a short time the essential oils of an
gehca will separate from the vege-
table tissue, and will give forth per-
fume in almost unlimited quantities,
whenever the cover of the jar is raised.

Miss Anthony's Tribute.

ROCHESTER, N. Y, Oct. 26.-The news
of the death of Elizabeth Cady Stanton fell
with crushing weight upon Susan B.
Anthony. who had planned to 60 to New
York on Nov. IL to assist the advocate of
woman suffrage in the celebration of her
eighty-seventh birthday. Miss Anthony to-
night said
Through the early days, when the world
was against us, we stood together. Mrs
Stanton was always a coura geous woman, a
leader Of thought and new movements.
always called her the philosopher and
statesman of our movement. She was a
most finished writer. and every paper pre-
sented TO Congress or the state legislatures
in the early days was written by Mrs Stan
ton. The period of our lives that gave me
the greatest pleasure was when we were
digging together; when she forged the
thunderbolts and / fired them. The great
est campaign we ever had together was in
1853 at the constitutional convention held In
Kansas for suffrage and the same year in
New York State. In spite of her big fam

great amount of work she did outside her
home she was one of the finest housekeep-

LAST CORONATION CEREMONY.



LONDON, Oct. 26.-The last ceremonies
connected with the Inauguration of the
reign of King Edward VII occurred to-day
when the King, accompanied by Queen
Alexandra the Prince of Wales and almost
all the members of the royal family, drove
TO ST. Paurs Cathedral and offered up
thanks for the recovery of his health,
which had enabled him to be crowned.
The weather was rainy and small crowds
marked the royal progress through the
metropolis. At Temple Bar the lord mayor
of London and the corporation in bedrag-
gled robes met the King and escorted him
to the cathedral. In the nave of st. Paurs
were gathered several thousand persons,
including Premier Balfour, leading men,
bers of the nobility. almost all the MEN,
bers OF the Cabinet and foreign ambassa-
dors to Great Britain. among whom were
Mr.. Choate.
The Honorable Artillery Company formed
an imposing line; the members wore their
BUSHES and carried fixed bayonets Be-
fore the service was over several of the
artillery men had tainted as a result of
long standing. After the services the royal
party returned to Buckingham Palace and
were well greeted on the way wherever
the crowds were large enough to raise a
cheer. In spite of the rain King Edward
ordered that the carriages be kept open
and Queen Alexandra bowed and smiled
from behind a small umbrella.
The scene at st. Pauls was more bril-
liant than devotional All the officials
present wore their uniforms and their dec
orations, creating a blaze of color seldom
seen In the cathedral. King Edward was
dressed in the UNIFORM of a field marshal
and wore the decoration of the Order of the
Garter.

DEMAND HIGHER WAGES
SEVEN THOUSAND RAILWAY YARD
MEN HAVE ASKED INCREASE.
Omcials of Chicago Roads Expected to
Answer by Friday-First Step in
Widespread Movement.

CHICAGO, Oct. 26.-Grand Master p. H.
Morrissey, of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen, and Vice Grand Master w. G..
Lee, have arrived at Chicago to look after
the interests of the 1900 yardmen employed
in the Chicago district, who have presented
a demand to the railroads for an increase
in wages of 5 cents an hour. The railroad
officials have been notified that an answer
is expected by next Friday.
The action taken by the Chicago yard
men is said to be the first step in the
movement which started in Kansas City
last June, when the chairman of the scale
committee on all systems, representing both
the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and
the Order of Railway Conductors, met in
Joint session and decided to demand a gen.
eral increase in wages for all members of
both organizations. The question was sub
mitted to a referendum vote of the MEM
bership of both organizations, and this vote
is not all in yet About three-fourths OF
the entire vote is now In the hands OF
the executive officers of both organizations
and the rest is expected before the first
of November. The Chicago district OF the
switchmen is, however, separate, and the
vote was almost unanimous in favor of de-
manding the increase.

large crowd of spectators, composed chiefly
OF union miners not yet returned TO work.
During the ceremony threats OF violence
were heard among those outside the church,
but the soldiers presence had a quieting
effect. After the wedding the couple and
guests returned to the brides home In
Raspberry lane. while the soldier boys
guarded the house during the remainder of
the marital festivities. During the strike
the groom worked at the Shenandoah city
colliery. When the strike was declared OF
he returned home and prepared for his mar
riage.
Union men threatened him with violence,
and all last night soldiers guarded his
home. The groom engaged carriages for
the wedding party and guests, but this
morning the liverymen learned he was
nonunion worker and refused to send car
riages, fearing a boycott Consequently
the wedding party was compelled to walk
Repeated violent threats were made
against him and his bride yesterday after
noon, and sixteen men from Company ID,
Capt. John Wilson, and Company G, Capt
ODert, are on guard there.
