MACARONI.
One story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.

One Story of the Origin of the Name
and the Dish.
A great many stories are in existence
about the origin of the word "macaro-
ni' and the invention of the dish so
designated. According to one author
ity, a drunken chef employed by one of
the pOpes was responsible both for the
name and the dish. He was preparing
a sOuffie for the papal soup, and, hav-
ing taken considerably more than
drop too much, he went on stirring the
-four until the souffle was of the con-
sistency of hard tack. The assistant
chef, knowing that his holiness was
not Overpatient about things pertain
ing to the table, ventured to call the
attention of his chef to this fact, and
the latter, being a resourceful man, de-
cided to make a paste instead of a
souffle.
He waited the result with some anX-
iety and responded to a call to appear
before his holiness with considerable
perturbation. Visions of a stay in the
papal dungeon rose before him, and
when the pOntiff asked, with a smiling
face, for the name of the wonderful
paste served in the soup he was too
nervous to think of name. MY caro-"
Cmy favOrite)' he replied at last, and
the pontiff, not catching the words ex-
actly, said: "Macaroni? Well, in future
never serve me a meal without a dish
of macaroni. Indianapolis Sentinel.

THE BEGGAR TRUST.
scheme That For Time Was a
Success In New York.

Success In New York
Several years ago a one legged vouth
Aaihed hempton, who had left a COM
portable home to engage deliberately in
begging, conceived the idea of organiz-
ing a community of interest among
pahhandlers in the Park row district. in
New York. He picked out strategic
spots throughout the city and selected
man TO beg in each. These men were
always particularly we'll adapted to
their posts-a blink (blind mani here. a
crust thrOwer there, a manned youth
somewhere else. In order that the beg
garS might not be molested by the no
lice lookout was appointed for each.
ana III order that the syndicate's inter-
ests might be conserved Kempton en-
ployed roundsmen to observe how
faithfully the beggars attended to bust
ness and TO collect hourly the earnings
OF each. In case of arrest each mem
Der of the band was assured of legal
representation, to be paid for out of
the earnings of the pool.
The scheme thrived for many months,
and at one time there were thirty men
in the combination, which became a
close corporation of profit and power.
There is no knowing to what extent
it might have expanded nor how infiu-
entail it might have become at last had
not the nature of the organization
given it undue prominence and caused
it to fall directly under the ban of the
mendicant squad. One by one the men,
bers were captured and sent to the is
land, and in the end the gang was
broken up.-TheodOre Waters in Every

.n.cdote Of Lewis Carroll.

Canon Liddon wrote this in his diary
concerning an incident of holiday tour
he took with his friend, Charles l..
Dodgson, better known as Lewis Car
roll: "Dodgson was overcome by the
beauty of Cologne cathedral. l found
him leaning against the rails of the
choir and sobbing like a child. When
the verger came to show us over the
chapels he got out of the way. he
said that he could not bear the harsh
voice of the man in the presence of SO
much beauty"

FOOLED THE SEARCHERS.
How "A Quick witted Scotchwomnn
Saved a Fugitive.

John Maxwell, a stout Protestant
who had taken part in the battle of
Rullion Green, Nov. %, 1866, success
fully defied the many attempts that
were made to capture him. Once he
had a very narrow shave The soldiers
traced him to Edinburgh and there
gave him chase. BOlting down a close.
he dashed into a tavern and explain
ed his desperate case to the landladv.
who locked him into the chest that
held the oatmeal. The soldiers then
entered and searched the house from
top to bottom, but could not find their
man. Vowing they knew he was on
the premises, they called for drink and
sat down to think over the matter.
One of them, seated on the box that
contained the fugitive, remarked:
q wouldn't say but the Wing is in
this very kist Chest. Guidwife, gie's
the key and We'll see.'
In no way put about, the landlady
went to the door and cried to her girl
upstairs:
"Jeanie. rim to the guidman for the
key O. the kist till we see if a Whig
can lie in the meal and no be hoasting
coughing Wit"
At this the soldiers burst out laugh
ing, felt there was truth in the guild
wifes taunt, drained their cups and
departed. Maxwell at last managed
to escape to Ireland, where he died.

The famous Spanish tOreador Re
verte figured in one of the most thrill
ing incidents ever witnessed in the
arena. 1t was at Bayonne. After dis
posing of two bulls Reverte had twice
plunged his sword into third of great
strength and ferocity, and as the beast
continued careering wildly the specta-
tors began to hiss Reverte for bun
Cling. Wounded to the very quick Of
his pride, the Spaniard shouted, 'The
bull is SLANT" and. throwing aside his
sword, sank on one knee with folded
arms in the middle Of the ring. He
was right, but he had not allowed for
the margin of accident. The wounded
beast charged full upon him, but the
matadOre, splendid to the last, knelt
mOtionless as a statue, while the spec
tators held their breath in Mortified
suspense. Reaching his victim, the bull
literally bounded at him, and as ne
sprang he sank in death, with his last
effort giving one fearful lunge of the
head that drove horn into the thigh

Many changes have been made in the

introduced have been perfected and
the team is working in the best of
form. 1t is confidently expected that
Iowa will be held to low score in the
approaching contest and the more
sanguine of the Grinnell supporters
see victory for the local team. The
fact that Bergen is unable to remain
until after the Iowa game will have
much to do with the outcome. His
enthusiasm and encouragement are
largely responsible for the Drake vic
tory. Whatever showing may be
made by Grinnell during the balance
of the season, the college has team

Ottumwa, Oct. 27.-The Iowa Bap-
fist state convention, which has been
in session here all week, closed yester-
day and today the time is being de-
voted to the Baptist Young Peoples
union. The convention elected the
following officers and decided on
Shenandoah as the next meeting

treasurer. F. sperry, of Des
Moines.
The forward movement Of the Iowa
Baptist Educational society was
blocked by the board of managers.
The board presented a resolution ask
ing for one year in which to consider
the educational problem and the reso-
luton was adopted. The Central coll
lege of Pella and the Des Moines COL
lege can thus find solace in the fact
that their stand that they are entitled
to larger proportion of the fund than
the smaller colleges was not denied.
The convention in it's resolutions de-
clared against divorces, and the Rev.
H. o. Rowland was elected to deliver

Many Interesting Features.
Iowa City, Oct. 27.-The trial Of

Homestead trainwrecker, will open
Monday in Marengo. Since the infor-
nation was filed against him many
new features have been brought to
light Among other things 1t has eff
fected reconciliation between the
parents of the young man charged with
the crime.
Kutzleben was born in Germany of a
good family. On the death of his
grandfather, his father was appointed
administrator of the estate, but proved
an embeZzler to the amount of $4,000
and fed to America to escape the con-
sequences of his act. He came to
Homestead and has worked for fifteen
years as an Amana society laborer.
His son followed him to America
when he became of age, and settled
in Amana. but left there and has since
worked on various railroads. He re-
turned to Amana and last summer, ac-
cording to his own confession, since re-
pudiated, wrecked the Rocky Mountain

In the search for evidence it was
purposed to take dispositions in Ger

CAUGHT ON ,PHoNE WIRE.
Tom Jackson, of oskaIoosa, Meets
With Painful Accident.

Special to Times Republican.
Oskaloosa, Oct, PA peculiar and
painful accident befell Tom Jackson of
this city while driving between Eddy
vile and Pekay after dusk. Jackson
was hurrying home along the dark
roads trying to reach home as soon as
possible when he was caught by tele-
phone wire that had became loosened
from the pole and hung low across the
roadway. The horse passed under al
rigth, but it hung just right to catch
jackson across the chest and just over
his handles, as he held the lines. The
wire picked him up from the seat and
out of the buggy, while the rig passed
away from under him. In falling to the
ground he lit in his left side.
The thing happened and was over
with so suddenly that he could not fig
ure out the cause. He therw out his
arms to catch something he knew not
what, and fell to thhe ground, throwing
the whole weight of his body upon his
left arm. The arm was fractured inn
mediately above the wrist. The frac-
ture was reduced and the patient is
resting as comfortable as can be ex-
pected under the circumstances.

George W. Catt's Legacy to
State College Provides For
$50 Scholarships
PROVISIONS OF WILL KNOWN
Filing Of the Document for Probate in
tho New York Court Reveals the
Method Contemplated by the Donor
in Applying His Request to College
Other News.

Des Moines Oct. 27.-Five hundred
and fifty scholarships for the purpose
of sending that number Of Iowa boys
to Iowa. State College to receive an ed
ucation and prepare them to make
success of life, will be the result of
the requests made by the late Geo. w.
Official announc ement came from New
York yesterday to the trustees of the
college as to just what provision had
been made for the school in his will.
According to the terms of the will
which has been opened at New York
and filed for probate, the money will
be available for the use Of the school
after the death of the widow, Carrie
Chapman Gait, the famous, woman
suffragiSt.
Not only does the great engineer
leave to Ames his fine library on en-
gineering subjects, but after his wife's
death his library on economics will be
left to the college.
Request is Most Fitting.
The bequest of Geo. w. Gait to
Ames College is said by the trustees to
be especially fitting. AS a student at
the agricultural and mechanical arts
school, George Gait was a poor man.
He worked his way through the insti-
tuition, tending the stock of the college.
in doing janitor work around the
buildings and even was not loath to
saw wood for the professors in order
that his college career might remain
unbroken.
To supply a fund for the loaning of
money to just $50 students was the
plan outlined just before his death.
The entire bequest amounts to $4,000
and is divided into scholarships of 500
each. The money thus derived is to
aid students and to be used in the ag-
gregate to allay expenses and tide the
poor but ambitious youths over tinan-
cial breakers.
The sum which is not as large as
was first reported, is to be derived
from the sale of securities held by the
estate. Mr.. Gait left a comfortable
fortune, which will keep his wife in
good circumstances UP to the time of
her death without touching the princi-
pal or breaking into the estate.
An official announcement of the ac-
tual plan formulated by the great en-
gineer Will be made at Ames sometime
during the coming week. The outline of
Mr.. Cats wishes will be forwarded
by mail to President Storms soon.

Fort Dodge, Oct. 27.-With the last
day Of the convention of the Iowa State
Library Association, the number of
delegates that have arrived makes the
convention by far the most successful
ever held. Over $50 had registered in
the local library at the session Thurs
day afternoon. AS the maximum num-
Der at previous conventions had been
less than 100, the convention of 1905
is making a record for itself in many
ways. The banquet held in the Elks'
hall Wednesday evening was attended
by nearly 200 people, a number exceed
ing that expected by fifty. Notwith-
standing the fact that the local com-
mittee had only expected $50, their ar
engagements had been made so well,
that the 200 people were all seated at
the banquet tables, and handled in such
manner that none realized that the
number there exceeded every previous
estimation.
Several toasts were made at the
banquet and an enjoyable time was had
by all. Some of the toasts were inn
promptu affairs, because of the absence
of those slated to make the toasts, but
all were good. The nature of the
toasts all hinged on things interesting
to the library delegates.
The meeting Thursday evening was
addressed by President Mclean and by
Judge Horace Deemer, of the supreme
court. Musical selections were also
given and the evening session was an.
enjoyable one. Two private banquets
were given Thursday evening by diff
ferent organizations, among the visiting

being present. Another was given Ut
