RICH MADE DISHES IN

If the assertion, frequently made.
that English cookery is too substantial
and heavy to suit the American palate
be true, 1t is remarkable how many
English receipts are being used by
American women who have visited in
English homes. Roast beef and York
shire pudding, rich pastries and meat
pies, are by no means the daily diet in
English households of to-day, and the
dainty fashion in which English chefs
garnish and serve their more elaborate
made dishes follows closely the meth
DDS employed by the best Of French
chefs.
Asplc jelly plays an important part
in cold dishes served at formal Eng
hsh functions, and while 1t Is dainty
and appetizing in appearance, IL is dis
tinctly nutritious. The average Amer
lean housewife substitutes plain gela-
tine for the aspic stock employed by
the English cook, and thus her dish
sacrifices a certain mellowness.
A delicious aspic foundation for
made dishes is concocted as follows:
One calf's foot, two slices of ham, a
one-pound knuckle or veal ana haif
pound of meat cut from the shin Of
beef are cut up together, with one car
rot a small onion, five pepper-corns
and dash of salt. Lay these in n
deep stewpan, add two quarts of cold
water, or, better still, cold beef stock,
and simmer gently Cbelow boiling
point) for at least five hours. II a
gas stove is used, the fame must be
turned to its lowest notch. The scum
must be removed as fast as 1t rises
to the surface. and at the end Of Ave
hours the broth is strained through a
fine sieve into a deep basin, in which it

Big JAPANESE LOSSES.
General StOesseI Makes Report on
Port Arthur Situation.

In recent dispatch Lieutenant Cen
eral Stoessel says the japanese losses
were 10, 900 during the attacks on Port
Arthur, Sept. 19 to -. He reports
that no incident occurred from Sept. %
to Sept. 80, excepting outpost skirmish-
ing.
General Stoessel adds that practically
nothing remained of the water works
redoubts when the surviving Russians
evacuated them. The last japanese
attack to which General Stoessel refers
was on a hill called High mountain
south of Inthan (Etzshan) or mountain.
He gives instances of the heroism of
the defenders, especially the case of a
lieutenant who threw hand bombs into
the Japanese trenches causing panic.
Colonel Irman, chief of the Port Arthur
artillery, is praised for the magnificent
disposition of the guns.
General Stoessel's dispatch. which
was dated Sept. 80, says:
After the bloody assaults from the
18th to the 2ad of September there has
been comparative tranquility around
the fortress. On the night of Sept. .
the Japanese, after being repulsed by
Lieutenant Poggorsky, fed in panic.
They are now working very actively
and are approaching by tunnel and
entertainments. The bombardment was
maintained both upon the forts and the
buildings within the fortress.
I'VE make sorties frequently, driving
back the enemy. The repulse of the
last attack was especially due to Lieu
tenant Poggorsky, General Kondeaten-
ko, Colonel Siman and Captain Sychaf.
The spirit of the troops is heroic
Wounded men are every day returning
from the hospitals to the ranks.
I'VE pray to God for victory and for
the health of your majesty

Death From X.rays.

A martyr to science and a pitiable
object lesson of the dangers of the
X-rays, Clarence NJ. Daily. after seven
years of suffering, died at his home in
East Orange, New York, Monday
Daily. seven years ago, was the right
hand man of Thomas A. Edison and it
was while chief assistant in the exper-
imcnting department of the famous
inventors laboratory that the terrible
rays began to exert their malign influ-
encc. The hair and mustache Of Daily
dried up and fell out. Science could
not stop the disintegration of the left
hand he had placed so often before the
light and amputation of the entire arm
became necessary. Four fingers of the
right hand were first cut away and life
for time was prolonged. Constant
manipulation of the tubes. testing them
and the power of the rays by allowing
the light to pass through his hand
finally resulted in bringing flushed
condition of the skin at the back of his
left hand. Although both arms were
finally amputated the deadening effects
could not be checked and he died after
several years of suffering.

MOTION FOR new TRIAL DENIED.
Stay Of Execution Asked by Defendants At.
torneys Pending an Appeal.

1t is the general opinion of their at
torneys that Roll McAilister, George
Young, Tom Smith and Jim Greenwood
charged with an attempt to rob the
First National Bank are very likely to
secure trial before the supreme court.
Although sentence has been passed,
in which they were given from three to
five years in the penitentiary they have
thirty days in which to secure super
cedes hearing before the supreme court,
which if granted will allow them to
give bonds pending hearing before
the supreme court.
The motion for a new trial was argued
before Judge Stevens last Saturday and
was denied. but stay of execution of
thirty days pending an appeal was
allowed.
At present they are incarcerated in
the county ''bastile," of which they
have the entire liberty.

Farmers and the Mines.

Destroy the mining industry in Color
ado and the best market Colorado farm
ers have would be destroyed. Cripple
it, make business in mining camps dull,
throw thousands of miners out of en-
ployment. and the evil effect would be
felt IN every agricultural community in
the state
Mining is the corner stone of Colora-
dos industrial. commercial and agri-
cultural prosperity. The mining camps
look to the agricultural valleys for their
food supplies. The agricultural valleys
look to the mining camps for market
in which to dispose of such supplies at
prices yielding good profit.
The farmers are directly and closely
and intensely interested in whatever
will promote the prosperity of the min
ing camps. Labor strikes in those
camps hurt them in every way and dis
order and strife among miners place a
brake on the wheels of their industry.
The policy which Governor Peabody
followed in suppress,ng insurrection
and in restoring order in certain lead
ing mining camps should be applauded
by every farmer in the state, and every
farmer should vote for continuance of
that policy, so that the mining industry
may not be interrupted in the future
and SO that profitable market for ay-
ricultural market for products may b.
maintained. The results achieved arr
worth hundred times what they cost.
If that policy had not been adopted,
If the strife and turmoil in Cripple
Creek, Telluride and the coal camps OF
Las Animas and other counties hae
continued. the injury to the stare woulc
be incalculable. and the farmers, in,
stead of enjoying prosperity. would b.
looking in vain ior a market.

Up to September cath. 1903. the

ninety-four cars .of peaches had been
shipped from Paonia. The same date
of this year shows one hundred and
sevcnty-iive cars of peaches shipped, or
4,osl, ,Ts5 pounds. While the difference
is partly due to the lateness of the
harvest last year, it also serves to show
something'of our increase of peach out

ditions the tonnage of next year will
greatly exceed that of this year. We
