MAYOR OF A DEATH HOUSE
Powers of A. 1T. Patrick, Prisoner
 at Sing Sing.

Powers or A. V. FatrAcks a Prisoner
 at Sing Sing.
 Albert T. Patrick, condemned for the murder of William M. Rice of New York, was reelected mayor of the death house in Sing Sing prison the other day, says the New York World. His second term of service is to begin from Jan. l. There is absolutely no appeal from his rulings
 There are nine prisoners confined in the death house, but only eight votes were cast. Policeman William Fl. En- his of Brooklyn, under sentence of death for wife murder, refused to par ticipate in the balloting.
 Patrick, being a lawyer, is looked upon by his fellow unfortunates as their proper leader. Not only has he prepared his own case for the court of appeals but he has aided the other condemned men in their efforts to se- cure new trials All questions of i'm portance are referred to him, and he passes upon them just as city magis- trate would under other circumstances.
 A chief executive of the death house is elected for one year, but in the event of the removal of the mayor another election is made necessary. Patrick's first term was what is commonly call ed an unexpired one. He succeeded Arthur Flanagan, who killed a keeper in the west side prison and who was put to death last spring. Even dur ing Flanagan's administration Patrick was the chief adviser, and he prepared Flanagan's letters of appeal to Gov ernor Odell. The appeals were so strong that Flanagan obtained two weeks respite.
 The powers of the mayor of the death house are great. If two of the inmates want to play checkers 1t is necessary for all the others to be quiet. In case the majority should object to a game the question Is referred to the mayor, whose decision is final. Abso- lute silence is necessary, because the two persons playing do not see each other, nor can they play on one board. Each has board marked on paper in his cell, and the moves are called off across the hall. It is the same with chess. Whistling concerts are indulg- ed in now and then, but only when the mayor permits. All matters of etiquette and all points of law are passed upon by him.
 William Spencer, the negro who kill ed Superintendent Macfarlane of the Goddard society, was a candidate for mayor. but he withdrew from the race when be learned that Patrick had the majority with him. It is said that the election was made unanimous.

HIS YANKEE ANCESTORS.
Even as Ear Back as the Parents of the Whole Human
 Race.

Lieut.. Takeshira, of the royal Jap anese navy, who, it is said, proposes to enter Japanese syndicate yacht for the next international cup race, is a good deal of humorist. This young man, on the day of the first race, pre- sented Sir Thomas Lipton with copy of ''Nr. Dooley," that the knight might be cheered in case of defeat He also commented with great vigor and directness upon everything which struck him as odd, relates the New York Tribune.
 ''The Americans have a good deal of pride" he said on one occasion 'T was talking yesterday to an American sailor. The man was very proud of his birthplace. He said that no one out side of America amounted to much
 " But what were your father and mother?" said I.

 "I thought had gone far enough on that tack, so I said: How about Adam and Eve, though? What were they?'

SHUTTING FOR POULTRY.
A Mode of Preparing That Should Be. Much More Generally
 Adopted.

Roasting poultry without stuffing is 3 mode that should be more generally followed than it Is, especially with chicken, which is more delicately da- Tored than other fowl, says the Wash ington Star. Unless a very simple and lightly seasoned dressing is used the patural flavor of the chicken and very young turkey is lost, as the flavor of these meats blends so perfectly with the flavor of celery. oysters, chestnuts, mushrooms, olives, trufles and such accessories as are generally used by the clever cook to conjure the delightful compounds the savoriness of which overshadows the most important part of the dish. This readiness to assim- Hate has established the custom of stufing all meats with the greatest va riety of combinations suitable, when ever the size and form of the meat and mode of cooking will allow, in order to obtain greater variety by tickling the fickle or jaded palate with new relish. It is also more pleasing to the taste that no longer finds pleasure or satisfaction in the simple, more whole some dishes.
 We do not altogether condemn the combination of poultry meat, oysters and celery, or celery and chestnuts, but one must remember that with this con- sortment must be served a suitable sauce-that is, one that must at least harmonize. And this most probably gives you another rich and not very digestible preparation. the two dishes thus forming a hearty and sufficient meal without the usual accompani- ments which are served with them and considered necessary to form com plete menu for even simple course dinner. One advantage in stuff1ng poul- try and birds Is that when they are baked or roasted they are bumper and more attractive in appearance, espe- cially the very young poultry that has not so much development of breast. Some place large pieces of dried bread or small soft rolls in the cavities. This produces moisture and does not affect the flavor of the meat.

MUSIC AND WAR.
Gentle Art That Enthuses Men Long Associated with the Flight
 ing Trade.

The gentle art of music has from earliest times been associated with the rude art of war. Joshua threw down the walls of an old city with the shofar. Troops march to music. they gain heart from it, 1t is the solace of their leisure, it softens the asperftfes of the camp. they rise and sleep, eat and move by call of the bugle. Many a wavering patriot, doubting if he owed the more of himself to his country or his shop, when war broke out, has decided for his country when he heard the national anthem, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
 Tn the great camps, during our little disagreement with little Spain, nothing brought the men of the north and south so suddenly and heartily into agree ment as the playing of Dixie" by the northern bands. The hooroar that went up when the band of New Eng land or western regiment marched through the company streets of 8 Georgia or Alabama command playing this inspiring anthem was worth going miles to hear. To dis continue military music would be to discontinue enlistments, make the life of garrisons spiritless, and increase assertions. There would be little public interest in parades and ceremonies in which there was lacking the magnificent uproar of dozen bands playing in different times and keys. And without public interest you cannot maintain an army.
 And again, without military bands ito serve as training schools and to gather musicians together, the cause of music itself would suffer. As Saint Saens declares, the concerts by military bands have part in popular education. They furnish the only good music that the masses hear. They cannot afford the opera, but they hear excerpts from 1t in the parks and on the streets. and enjoy them even better than our audi ences enjoy the stage performance. To thousands in the tenements the evening and holiday concerts In the public squares are delight and re- lief from the dull, hard routine that is their daily life. Whatever France may do about 1t, and we doubt the report that France Is to do away with military bands, we believe and hope that 1t will be 8 long day before the band-eyen the gutter band disappears from among us,
