tips. cherry salad. almonds. olives. etc.
ice cream ships. cakes. coffee. bonbOns-
The strawberries with their hulls are
piled around little mound of sugar on
the individual plates; finger bowls follow
this course
In every bouillon cup slice of lemon
and one teaspoon of sherry is put before
the hot soup is poured in. Toasted
crackers are served with this.
The scallOps are chopped fine. boiled
rice added and a little nutmeg, and
they are Drowned in the oven and served
IN the large scallops to be had at the
fish market
Chicken outlets are chicken croquettes
nodded into fat pear shape, with

At one May luncheon the dining room
was bright Pnd perfurned with as many
different sorts of spring flowers as
there were guests. and before it was
opened to receive the guests n maid

tray filled with the duplicates Of these
flow ers, presenting a spray to each
lady who then wore il TO the table,
where its duplicate resting beside a
plato indicated her place. Attached TO
the blossom may be found a card with
the significance Of the particular

FIRE IN TWENTY
STORY STRUCTURE
1t Was Caused BY Explosion Of Chemi-
calls in Cosmopolitan Building.
No Lives Were Lost.

Chicago, Jan 29-The tenants of the
Masonic Temple, 20 story structure,
failed to scare today when fire broke
out in the Cosmopolitan building ad-
joining. Chemicals that girl was
mixing on the sixth floor exploded and
caused the fire. On the upper stories
of the Cosmopolitan building num-
ber of women became hysterical and
threatened to jump from the windows.
Cooler heads prevented this. The wo-
men we're carried down the fire es-
capes. The girl mixing the chemicals
was severely burned and is dying.
The name of the girl who was fatal
ly burned is Miss Verba. Edward
Stokes who assisted her down thesfire
escape was probably also fatally
burned. Loss $4,000.
Frozen rom Shore to Shore.
Chicago Jan. 29-For the first time

points along the west shore the ice Is
piled up solid from the bottom, 40
feet Deep to an equal distance above
the water line. At the cribs, the ice
is piled up higher than the structure.
Icebergs of the greatest size in the
recollection of navigators are seen
here. Lake navigation here combines

Convicted in District Court Of Recev-
ing Money illegally Declared Not
Guilty BY Supreme Court.

st. Paul, Jan. 29-Ex-Mayor Ames,
of Minneapolis, is free man. The
Supreme Court today quashed the in
dictment against him. The entire court
held the indictment to be faulty.
Judges Start, Collins and Lewis con-
cured in the majority opinion that the
offense was not proved, while Judges
Lovely and Brown disagreed with that
part of the opinion of the majority.
Ames was convicted in the District
Court of Hennepin County of receiv-
ing money Illegally as Mayor OF Min
neapolis from women.
After sentence was passed an appeal
was taken on the ground that the in
dictmeft was not properly drawn, in
that 1t was omnibus in it's character,
charging in fact more than one crime.
The majority opinion of the court writ
ten by Chief Justice Collins, was a
surprise to the defense as we'll as to
the state The court says that the in
dictment was valid and charged but
one offense, but declares the state did
not prove the offense charged.
