A Good Hamburg Steak.

A Hamburg steak Is scornfully re-

the Brooklyn Times. For each pound

Of onion juice, a half teaspoonful OF

Handling Baskets Easily.

Baskets holding one bushel or more
are used to considerable extent on all
farms where there is much in the way
Of heavy vegetables or grains to han
die. AS the ordinary bushel basket is
made the handles easily pull out with
the weight Of the contents and then
one is obliged to handle the basket in
any way possible unless some plan is
arranged for inserting handles. The
idea here described shows a plan for
attaching handles which costs but lit

serviceable until the body portion is
worn out.

Cool Fruit When Shipped.

Fruit should not be picked on a
warm day and put Immediately into
cold storage Or into cars for shipment.
It should be put into some place where
1t will have q chance to cool off and
permit the latent heat to work out.
Putting fruit into close cars where no
refrigeration is provided is a fruitful
source Of trouble in the shipping Of
fruit. The heat in the fruit causes
rapid spelling, especially with fruit
that is Of short keeping quality, like
some Of the apples that ripen in the
summer. If the nights are cool, fruit
can be cooled off by simply leaving il
over night exposed to the air, but not
to the dew. In other cases cellars are
found deep enough to have a tempera
ture of under 60 degrees. These can
be used in such cases. In some parts
of the territory over which this paper
circulates storage pits have been dug
into the side hills and these may be
used as storage places.

Banana Salad.

A strip Of the peel of a large and
perfect banana may be turned back,
and most Of the pulp carefully
scooped out. The. short, thick variety
Of banana, in either red or yellow, Is
the best for this purpose. To all the
space left by the removal of the pulp
prepare mixture Of thinly sliced
banana, shredded orange or grape
fruit, seeded and peeled white grapes
and few kernels Of English walnuts
or pecans in small pieces. In their
season stoned cherries may be added.
All must first be mixed in a bowl
with a generous supply Of dressing,
and after the yellow cases are filled
with the salad each must be laid on
lettuce leaves. These must be pre-
pared a short time before using
Either a mayonnaise or a good boiled
dressing may be used

HYDE VICTORIOUS. in EQUITABLE
Carries Out His Plan to Delay Mutual
ization for Four Years.


New York, March %. James III
Hyde carried thru his plan at yes
terday's meeting Of the board OF d1rec-
tors of delaying for four years the
naturalization Of the Equitable Lie
Assurance Society. In doing this ne
gained a victory over President James
w. Alexander, who a week ago COM
pelled the Hyde forces to agree to al
low the 100000 policy holders OF the
society to elect twenty-eight OF the
directors to twenty-fOur elected by the
stockholders.
Whether Mr.. Hyde's triumph will
proye to be permanent or only tenn
-porary Will depend upon the courts and
the legislature. The issue is to be
fought out by those who are opposed
To one man, simply thru the ownership
of q. majority of 100000 of capital
stock. controlling nearly billion Of
the savings of the 100000 policy hold
ers Of the society. Meanwhile Mr..
Hvda will continue In control Of the
Equitable.
Only thirty-four Of the fifty mem
hers of the board were at yesterdays
meeting. The dummy directors put
into office by young Mr.. Hyde domin-
ated the situation absolutely under the
leadership of Edward Fl. Hartman ana
Jacob II. Schiff. Many of the direc-
tors who have been working with
President Alexander to safeguard the
enormous funds Of the society by plac-
ing them i'm the keeping of men elect
ed by the policy holders, kept away
from the meeting, knowing in advance
the program Of the Hyde men to ride
roughshod over their plans to mutual
ize the company at the earliest pos
sible date.

ALLISON ON REVISION.
It is Said Iowa Senator Wants the
Tariff Schedules Investigated.


Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, March Ex-senator Alli-
son before leaving Washington said
that the finance committee of the sem
ate might hold a meeting later in the
season to decide on an investigation Of
the condition Of customs, internal, rev.
senue and finances of the government.
Such an investigation would be consid-
cred as q preliminary to a revision of
the tariff either at an extra session
or in regular session next winter. 1t
would depend said Senator Allison, on
Senator Aldrich, who Is now in Eur
iope, but who is chairman Of the finance
committee.
As acting chairman Of that commit
tee, Senator Allison does not feel war
ranted in doing anything out Of the
regular routine Of business. He said
that before Senator Aldrich went
away the matter of meeting of the
committee some time after adjourn
ment of congress was talked over. He
indicated that the matter was left
open and would be considered when
Senator Aldrich gets back, about April
1st.
AS Is well known Senator Allison
favors an examination into the tariff
schedules and readjustment if found
advisable In an interview published
some weeks ago he took this position.

claiming that his candidacy Is gaining
steadily, and as claim for the position
say that the southeast and southern
section of the state has never been rep
resented with the chief office of the
G. A. r. and that now that a strong
candidate is presented, the district
should be llonored with the place. 1t
is being whispered about that P. A.
Smith, Of Scranton, is not enough OF
politician to suit some Of the members
of the Grand Army.
Six casese will be submitted to the
supreme court from Marshall county
at the fourth period of the January
term which opens April 4. The same
number will be submitted from Cedar
county and twenty-five cases Will
come from Linn county. Jones county
will have five, Dubuque county FOUR
and Benton county three according to
the docket Two cases that have at
tracted considerable attention in POLK
county and over the state as we'll Will
be submitted from this county. One is
the Dickerhoff case wherein John and
Emma Dickerhoff of this city were
convicted Of bringing two girls from
Lamont to this city to a house OF
shame. The other case is that against
John Daily who with other constables
and justice court officers of East Des
Moines were convicted Of threat to ex-
tort a bribe. Two of the cases from
Marshall county are cases OF the Mar
shalltown Light, Power and Railway
Company as appellant ginst the city of
Mrshailtown. The other cases are II.
S. Titus against the c. M. & st. P,
Emma Parrott against the Great Wes-
tern. r. w. Hughes against the Iowa
Central. and A. D. Shockley against F.
A. Tucker. In each Of these the de-
fendant is the appellant.
Four quarts of whisky which were
seized In the Adams Express Com
pany case and are a part Of the exhib-
it's in the suit have now cost $500, or
$50 quart. Since the case was decid-
ed by the United States supreme court
the whisky has still been in the pos
session Of the court and may cost some
more to get it released as it is still
held by the government. The decision
OF e..e United States court was in fa-
vor of the defendants and the whisky
now rightfully belongs to the Adams
Express Company. AS the suit was
long drawn out the whisky has had
time to age considerable and in the or
dinary course should be somewhat
more valuable than when the suit be-
gan.

BERRYs INVESTMENTS BAD.
Counsel for Accused Boston Trustee

estates, the total value of which prob
ably will reach fully s1,00O,000, aie
still under investigation. Herbert l..
Baker counsel for Berry, insists that
the only thing that can possibly be
said against his client is that he may
have made poor investment Of some
of the funds intrusted to his charge.
James d. Colt, appointed receiver of
Berry's affairs, yesterday said that he
had been unable to find trace of any
books that would give detailed ac-
count of any property intrusted to
Berry's management. Among other
properties handled by Berry was an
estate left by Rev. Henry F. Foote,
whose son. a minister bearing his
fathers name, lives in New Orleans.

General Kuropatkin having paused on

The retreat is apparently progress
ing uneventfully. No dispatches Of
moment were received yesterday.
Report is Not Credited.
Little weight is placed here in the
deduction drawn at certain European
capitals from the dispatch announcing
that cannonading had been heard
south of Tie pass, that General Rem
nenkampff's corps, endeavoring to re-
join the main army, had been inter-
cepted south of Tie pass. AS stated
yesterday morning the dispatch in
question undoubtedly was erroneous,
and it may be pointed out that sew
eral correspondents at the front have
mentioned the orderly retreat of Cen
eral Linevitch's army and asserted
that 1t effected co1centration at Tie
pass with scarcely a straggler missing,
but made no mention of the absence
Of so well known a fighter as Rem

ed Press correspondent, M. Toluzakoff,
who was with Rennenkampffs COM
mand during the battle has arrived at
general headquarters Slightly wound
ed.
Preparations are now making for the
mobilization of a nuh1ber of detach-
ments, not, however ON a general
scale, the preliminary orders affecting
but twenty-five districts in the gov
ernments of Odessa, Warsaw and Mos
COW. The grenadiers have not receiv-
ed orders to proceed to Manchuria, but
many officers Of that organization
