SINK JAPANESE SHIPS.

Che Foo, May 19.-People who have just arrived here from Dalny report 10 the Russian consul that the Japanese battleship Shikishima sank two min utes after contact with a submarine mine. with no time to save the crew. The accident happened near Said, in sight of Port Arthur. It was the bat tleship Fuji, not the cruiser Asama, which struck a mine on the port bow, causing a heavy list and sinking of the bow. The boat was righted and went off in tow of the other cruisers. It Is thought impossible that she could have reached port. The Russian con- sul personally has telegram from Dal- ny saying it is rumored there that two Japanese battleships had been sunk off Port Arthur. Refugees coming in say the town received no damage from tEe bombardment, but that considerable land fighting is going on north of Dal- nv.

SIGNS OF A BREAK
Delegates Are Beginning
 to Leave
A Growing Disposition to Break the Deadlock in the Illinois Republican Convention.

Springfield, III, May J9.-For the first time cince the beginning of the deadloc K in the Illinois republican convention. delegates commenced to show signs of breaking away and there was evidence of disposition to leave the leaders. Many delegates left town this morn ing and some of them declared they would not come back until some of the gubernatorial candidates got out of the race and made it possible to break the deadlock Their votes were cast by the more faithful of the delegates, in some instances single delegates voting an entire county.
 A feeling of unrest found vent fin the introduction of a resolution providing that the convention proceed to the nom ination of candidates for offices other than governor. but the proposition was defeated. None of the gubernatorial candidates wanted the resolution to go through, and candidates for minor of fees were too timid to insist upon it, fearing such action would hurt their chances. The prolonged fight is bear- ing heavily upon the men who want the smaller places. All of them have been maintaining headquarters which cost them from $50 to S100 a day. As the salaries of state officers in Illinois are very small, even the successful candidates will be behind in a financial way when the convention adjourns. Some of them closed their headquarters today.
 The pallets taker today were with out appreciable change in result. Sher- mans men continued to vote for De- neen throughout the day, but he made no further gains and on the last ballot tonight, Shermans men returned to him.

which the coffee is made should be i'm
maculately clean, as many a cup of
coffee meets its Waterloo from being
cooked in an unclean pot.
The beans having been ground. they
are next cleared with we'll brushed egg
shell. Two or three of these shells are
sufficient to clear a pound of ground
coffee. Needless to say, the coffee
should be kept in an air tight can and
ground only as required.
There is an old adage to the effect
that coffee boiled is coffee spoiled. -
and the most important point in max
ing this drink is to use water at the
first boil The proportiozs also require
lots of thought. The Usual quantity =

The aroma OF coffee is thought to be
retained by filling the spout OF the pot
with tissue paper. Instead OF making

family who is a little late Tor breakfast,

Cafe noir is simply strong coffee
| served without milk or cream. usually
after dinner with liqueurs or cognac.
Viennese coffee is very much liked, but
it is really nothing more than cafe noir
slightly sweetened. often with sugar
candy. A spoonful of whipped cream
favored with cognac is placed lightly
on the surface at the time of serving.
Another fancy drink made with coffee
is choca. To make this mix together

Lastly, there is Turkish coffee, which
is simple enough to make, but requires
a special pot broader at the base than
at the neck For Turkish coffee the
proportions are the same as for the or

The Fine Art of Coffee Making

T is perfectly safe to say that not
one cook in five can make really
good and appetizing cup of cafe
n au lait, while over the cafe noir it
is safer to draw a veil. This may
seem at first a sweeping assertion, but
II one will consider for a moment the
hideous cOncoctions called coffee by
courtesy they will admit that the bev-
erage which "comforteth the brain and
heart and helps the digestion" has not
always carried out its mission.
And yet in itself coffee making is as
easy as any culinary process can be
The fact is that the making of good
coffee depends entirely upon the atten-
tion to details so small that few per
sons think them worth considering
The French particularly excel in the
brewing of this delicious drink, and any
French peasant woman with no other
accessories than a kettle of boiling wa
ter, saucepan and a jug viii make a
cup Of coffee which viii linger long in
fragrant remembrance. Her process is
simplicity itself. Having the boiling
water ready. she scalds out the jug.
half nils pan with the boiling liquid
stands the jug in this to keep it hot.
then lays a piece of muslin over the
mouth of the jug. with the required
amount of freshly roasted and ground
coffee on this. and pours some more
boiling water through it very slowly to
extract every particle of its aroma. As
soon as all the water necessary for the
quantity of coffee has run through the
coffee is ready to be served.
This is. of course. the crudest form of
co-Zse making and is cited merely to
show how simple the process really is
when properly done. A strange con-
trast is this primitive method to the
wonderful machines brought out year
after year in this country for the same
purpose, many of them preventing the
making of good coffee rather than prov
ing an aid.
n point that needs more attention
Snan 1t usually receives is the blend of
eae coffee used, which varies with al
most every consumers taste. The best
cursee comes from Alden and is called
Mocha. A blend of one part Java to
earee parts of Mocha is accepted by
connoisseurs as an ideal combination.

little good salad oil. Place two or three
tablespoonfuls OF the berries into the
pan and stir them over a slow fire until
they turn a rich brown color. Remem-
Der while they are cooling to look them
over carefully. for if you leave in a sin

operation of roasting is a rather nice
one simply because it requires atten-
