Supposed to Have inherited a
Very Large Fortune-NotabIes En-
tertained.

Louisville, Ky, Jan. S.-Louisville's
ment the suits that have been brought
for unpaid grocery bills against Mrs.
Belle Sheridan Shreve, for many years
the acknowledged society leader OF
this city. The suits, amounting to
s14500, have been begun to enforce
the payment of notes held by the
Southern National bank, the Kaufman
Straus company, and by Mrs. Agnes
BohlseI, The latter is the widow of a
groceryman. who for years furnished
Mrs. Shreve's table at her expensive
entertainments.
Mrs. Shreve was supposed to have
been left large fortune by her hus-
the news of her financial embarrass-
ment. while causing widespread regret,
is attributed to her generosity to rela
tives and friends and to the lavish
manner in which she entertained.
AS Belle Sheridan Mrs. Shreve was
the reigning belle of Louisville, and
was noted as one of the most beautiful
women in the Blue Grass state. Her
chaperons when she was introduced
to society, and always her most init
mate friend, was the late Mrs. Sallie
! Ward Downs, Kentucky's noted
beauty. The old Shreve mansion,
which Mrs. Shreve still owns, on Wal
nut street, between Center and Sixth
streets. is one of the show places of
the city, and it was there the many
lavish entertainments took place that
brought Mrs. Shreve into her present
difficulty.
When Gen. Grant visited Louisville
after the close of the civil war, and
when King Edward. then the prince of
Wales. made tour of the United
States. they were entertained by Mrs.
Shreve and her relatives, Mr.. and
Mrs. David P. Faulds. Those who are
living and who attended the receptions
talk about them tc this day.
Mrs. Shreve's husband died twenty
years ago. His widow has enter
tanned extensively since that time,
aud, although not taking an active
part in the social world she has al.
ways maintained the same hospitable
home. Her income was considered
sufficient to pay all these expenses.

died several years ago. was frequently
loaned by Mrs. Shreve money to en-.

many instances proved failures. This

Well all this difficulty can be avoid

for youself one of the new "St Louis

OLD TIME COFFEE.
The Way to Brew the Beverage as
They Did In 1862.

The Way to Brew the Beverage as
They Did In 1862.
An old cookbook, published in 1862,
gives what is perhaps the first English
recipe for coffee. The recipe reads:
ITO make the drink that is now
much used. called coffee:
THE coffee berries are to be bought
at any druggists, about shillings the
pound. Take what quantity you please,
and over charcoal fire in an old fry
ing pan keep them always stirring I'M
til they be quite black, and when you
crack one with your teeth that it is
black within as 1t is without. vet If
you exceed, then do not waste the
Oyl, and If less, then will it not de-
liver its Oyl, and If you should con-
tinue fire till it be white it will then
make no coffee, but only give you its
salt Beat and force through a lawn
sieve.
TAKE clear water and boil one-third
Of it away, and it is fit for use. Take
one quart of this prepared water, put
it in one ounce of your prepared cof-
fee and boil it gently one hour, and
it is for your use. Drink one quar-
ter of a pint as hot as you can sip it.
1t doth abate the fury and sharpness
of the Acrimony, which is the gender
of the Diseases called Cronical."-

THE POET BURNS.
A Criticism which Appeared In the
Edinbureh Magazine In 1856.

A Criticism which Appeared In the
Edinbureh Magazine In 17S6.
The following brief criticism on the
poems Of Burns appeared in the Edin-
burgh Magazine, october, 1886, short
~. after the. second edition of his works
came out: sThe author is indeed a
striking example of native genius
bursting through the obscurities Of
poverty and the distractions Of la
borious life. He is said to be COM
mon plowman, and when we consider
him in this light we cannot help re-
GREETING that hayward fate had not
placed him in more favored situation.
Those who view with the severity Of
lettered criticism and judge by the
fastidious rules of art will discover
that he has not the Doric simplicity of
Ramsey nor the brilliant imagination
of Ferguson, but to those who admire
the exertions of untutored fancy and
are blind to many faults for the sake
Of numberless beauties his poems will
afford singular qualification. His OBJ
servations on human characters are
acute and sagacious, and his descrip-
tons are lively and just. OF rustic
pleasantly he has rich fund, and
some of his softer scenes are touched
with inimitable delicacy. He seems
to be boon companion and often
startles us with sentiments which will
keep some readers at a distance. Some
Of his subjects are serious, but those
Of the humorous kind are the best"
