A FURTHER STATEMENT OR TWO. { MT. Fitzpatrick said further that the mems organization, said yesterday af- ternoon that the men were entirely sat- isf1ed with the terms as set forth in the Consolidated Railroad company's prop ositon.
 MT. Fitzatrick stated further that the concessions were about what the com- mittees had expected. Asked in regard to the feeling among the men because the company placed freight conductors in line of promotion to the passenger conductors, MT. Fitzpatrick said the men deemed this the most important concession.
 < MT. Fitzpatrick stated yesterday af- ternoon, in reply to question, that the reason he and c. H. Wilkins would leave matters entirely in the hands of the grievance committee after last eve- ming was because if a satisfactory ad tustment could now be made lie would be very glad of it. If not settled now they could not be accused of being the cause of the non-settlement. He fur ther stated that, in the event of their being again needed, they would be ready to resume an active part.

 stand firm on it's right to control sched- ules.
 s' As a result of the increase of wages, if accepted by the men, and of the in- creased dividend requirement. of $655,S for the $16,397, 200 of per cent. deben- lures to be converted into stock April 2 1, as well as presumptive higher cost of fuel, it is certain that the improvements on the system, hitherto charged largely to operating expenses, will have to be met hereafter by increased capitaliza- ton. Some of the improvements can be postponed, but in the main they are either in actual progress or of such a nature that they cannot be deferred.
 The new joint schedule as presented by the trainmen and conductors some two weeks ago involved an increase of $72000O a year in those two branches alone.

by four inches for each person, lay three or four asparagus stems on each, and serve with a thickened cream sauce Have the toast and sauce in readiness so that the dish can be served as soon as the asparagus is cooked.
 If serving in individual portions, as above, is not desirable, cut the asparagus stems into inch lengths, discarding all hard, tough ends, and after boiling twen- ty-ive minutes, drain into a vegetable dish. Cover with a cream sauce made with equal parts of milk and the water the asparagus was cooked in, seasoned with butter, pepper, salt, and thickened with flour.
 A delicious soup is made with two dozen asparagus stalks, two quarts of boiling water, a heaping teaspoonful or salt, and a small green onion, boiled to- gether for twenty-five minutes. Rub through a sieve, return to the saucepan, and when ready to boil, beat in half a pint of cream blended with the yolks of two eggs. Serve with croutons.
 For baked asparagus make a sauce by heating two tablespoonfuls each of flour and butter together until creamy, then add slowly one-half cup of milk, one cupful of water, half a teaspoonful of salt and a sprinkle of pepper. When 1t has boiled remove from the nre and add the slightly beaten yolks of two eggs. Butter baking dish, place in 1t layer of asparagus alternating with layer of sauce until all ingredients are used. Cover with bread crumbs moistened with the sauce, and set the dish in the oven long enough to brown the crumbs.
 Asparagus fritters are made in the pro- portion of one cupful of cooked tips to one-half a cupful of milk thickened with two tablespoonfuls of flour and one table spoonful of butter. When cool, add one beaten egg, fry on a buttered griddle, sprinkle with chopped parsley to taste and serve hot.
 Cold cooked asparagus tips with a mayonnaise dressing make a delectable salad

The Assouan Dam.

From the Chicago Record-Herald.
 There is a dam on the river Nile that may have an important effect on the future of one of Americas greatest in- dustries. It is located at Assouan, and was completed a year ago, in time to store up enormous quantities of water last winter.
 Because of it the acreage devoted to cotton raising in large tributary eoun- try has been greatly increased. The store of water has now been released, and an official report says that the success of all the summer crops is assured.
 How far this dam and others that have been built or are projected will increase Egypts cotton output remains for the future to show, The crop of 1901 was about 100000 bales, grown on 1,300,OOO acres of land. The United States cotton crop in the same year was about 0,50O,- 600 bales. An acre in Egypt produces al- most 500 pounds of cotton, as against 200 | pounds per acre in the United States. | The Aussouan dam is an enormous structure. Together with a smaller dam i at Assiout. the cost has been $24000,0O0. and the money has probably been ex- l ceedingly well spent. The Assouan dam towers seventy-six feet above the river bed, and is about 5000 feet long. It will store 1,O0O, GOO. 900 tons of water, more than l the equivalent. 1t Is estimated, for full years domestic supply for the United Kingdom.

 Upon gentle acciyity on the east shore of Mobile bay, in Alabama on site well chosen for it's natural beauty. lies the vil- lage of Fairhope Industrious, energetic, embodying a novel experiment in new
 methods of dealing with vexing social problems, the community has more than
 justified the hopes of It's friends and we'll wshers
 Beginning in January, 1895, with five
 families of Iowans, in pine forest on the
 eastern shore of the bay sixteen miles
 southeast of Mobile, Fairhope has now
 seventy-five families and Is growing with
 accelerating speed. The five families com
 prising it's first settlers hailed from Des
 Moines They subscribed each $2oo for
 membership in the colony, with which
 tract of land was purchased and deeded
 to the present landlord of the town, the
 ''Falrhope Industrial association The
 association now owns 1400 acres and Is
 continually making fresh purchases. For ests have been cut down. land has been brought under cultivation; water sys- tenn has been put up; wharf ana a
 steamer have been built.
 Any person, even though he be indifer- ent or actually hostile to the central idea

 hope for ninety-nine years on the same terms as one fully imbued with the prin- ciple. Rental valuations, determined an-
 nually by the "executive council" are subject to a referendum to the whole res
 ident rent-paying membership, and ap- proximate per cent of the estimated value, exclusive of all Improvements. The best city lots, each one about one-fourth of an acre, can be had at SLIGO to about S1o l each per annum. Outlying lots cost less.
 Farm lands are held as cheaply as twen- | ty cents per acre, up to $lO0 annually. The rental charges represent the entire cost | of holding lands in the colony, for state and county taxes are paid by the colony authorities out of the rent.
 In 1903 the rent paid by the settlers will | be about $1000; the state and county taxes ] will be about s400 The difference, amount | ing to 5000, will go to the community in | the form of public Improvements. A wa 1 ter system is provided and water is free ! to all colonists. When lighting systems, street cars, telephones and all public util- | tiles shall have been called into being the l services will all be free.

carefully avoided making 1t In Q techni- cal sense a deed of separation. The an- nuity was to be paid so long as the mar quls lived in Algeria, or in any other colony or a foreign country. He went to Algeria, and quarterly payments were regularly made until Mime. de La Roche thulon obtained divorce on the ground that he lived away from her. She now contends that a divorce clears off the deed of separation. The opposite party deny that the divorce law can in any way affect the annuity Judges in France are not indulgent to palpable evasons of the code. But they may think the marquis shabbily used and strain point or two in his favor.
 Like most of the princely and ducal families created by Napoleon, that of Conegiano CDe Moncey) is extinct in the male line. He gave them great fortunes and appanages for three generations, and the sons became jouisseurs. The Bernadottes, who escaped the fatality, took new departure in Sweden, where prim manners and Lutheran ways do not admit of princes going at brisk pace The 1Murats were saved by pow erty Their head had to migrate to the United States. where he taught French The News and Massenas had Jewish vi- talty. Ney is in Lorraine and Alsace, a purely Jewish name. and means New or Newman. There is a Fouche of Otran- to in Sweden, but the French stem has long died out. The Duke of Abrantes Is Junot by his mother, the late Mime. Le- roy Her grandniece Is fashionable dressmaker, who does much work for royal drawing rooms in London. The Duchy of Vicence has been kept alive by grand daughter of Caulaincourt; the Due de Conegliano, if he called himself after his father, would be M. Duchesne; the Due de Feltre is not Clarke, but Goyon; and the Duchy of Tarante is threatened with speedy extinction. The Berthiers of the principality of Neuf Chate are extinct, both in the male and female lines.
 Napoleon never created marquis. Why? Marquis means warden of marches" and in his time the frontiers of France were always extending. Why, then, should they be given a keeper" ?" he asked Talleyrand, who suggested the creation of Marquisates for the purpose of appeasng the clamors of rich con- tractors for fine sounding titles.

Paris July 1S-The house of Victor Hugo. in the Place des Eosras, opened with so much state and festivity, Is less interesting than Vaudeville House. Guernsey. I went through it in the poets lifetime, one saw there now ms decorative taste and his love for the un- common worked, and to what degree +ba Gothic utilities of Walter Scott sank into his mind. Having but com mon. not to say vulgar, materials to work on did not matter. He gave them q nersonal stamp that took one ny sur rrise Nobody could anticipate any hardiwork of Victor Hugo. HIS nancy broke out in the most unexpected ways and places. From youth to age he play ed with deep seriousness tinged with gloom at the childish game of "Only sup pose" In playing 1t his miho hept ,su,' as . sublime pitch, and yet sort or chilulsn innocence or naivete pervaded H. AL uauteville House, all the time he buslea binself furnishing and decorating, IL was. ..Only suppose, I am a poet or par ohial standing In a far-back century, ..only suppose, these felt carpets WHICH I line the staircase and hall are stamped leather of Cordova and antique tapes tries," "only suppose, this Georgian brick house feudal castle that witness ed noble festivities and narrowing rag- edies."
 Victor Hugo had faculty of so ar ranging inc felt carpets bought at Man chester as to make them suggest what he wanted one to suppose No other poet though aided by the most practcea theatrical decorator could do that one not only thought at Hauteville House or barons of old, but of the Powers or Darkness doing their utmost to dereat the efforts of heroes and stcmp out flowers of innocence that contained an antidote for lleir maleVolenees Ihe world appeared to Victor Hugo huse allegorv representing a fight between the forces of good and evil. It must have seemed to him as his mother saw It In the time of the revolution. The revoiu- tionists struck her as monsters of iniqui- tv engaged in a war on diYinely set up monarchy and a church sent doWn from heaven and watched over by mar tyrs saints and angels.
 The museum is arranged as much as possible like a private house Tor hvlns people The banister handrails are COW cred with red velvet Relics are every where. Among the most remarkable are wainscoting, mantels, and furniture, the poet made and carved for Mime. Guern- Bey M Paul Meurice, the creator of this temple to Victor Hugo, collected through sixty years such evidences of his popu- larity as cheap clay pipes with Victor Hugos heads or the heads of Triboulet and other characters of his works, cut tings from newspapers, enCravings of the actors and actresses who played in drama. caricatures, drawings of the house of his nativity and the different houses he lived in; photographs of the port of Passages, where he spent six weeks in lS42, of the wretched town of Hernani which gave him the name of a tragedy The bed with the four twisted posts and a fourteenth-century canopy,
