VEGETARIAN SOUP.

Even in cool weather, soups made
from vegetables without meat make an
agreeable variety, while they are always
to be welcomed from the standpoint of
economy. To one quart of water allow
one pound Of potatoes, peeled and cut
into dice, one pound of Jerusalem arti.
chokes also cut into dice, two ounces of
white carrots peeled and chopped fine.
Put all the Ingredients into the soup pot
with the water, which must be cold, and
let heat slowly until the boiling point is
reached. Skim carefully and add salt
and white pepper to taste. Let all boil
very gently until the vegetables are thor
oughly soft, then strain through fine
sieve, pressing little of the pulp through
with a wooden spoon. Serve smoking
hot with croutons. The vegetables re-
manning in the strainer may be set aside
until next day, then mashed, and mixed
with an equal quantity of finely-chopped
cold meat, seasoned, made into cakes
and fried, either for breakfast or
luncheon.

Conlan. one of the finest chief rangers the court ever had. His popularity was shown by the prosperity of the court during his administration. The new chief ranger. Mir Herbert. is the youngest man il, that office in the state. He is quite popular in the court and the member ship will unquestionably increase while he holds the chair. X feature about Court Falcon is that it has lots of good men capable of filling the highest of. flee, and this explains the fact that no chief ranger has ever held the chair for two consecutive periods. The storm last evening interfered greatly with plans the court had to initiate a large number of candidates. After the business session a social hour or two was held Past Chief Ranger COnlan was master of ceremonies. There was singing and dancing. refreshments and cigars, and lots of fun.

MINIATURE BLIZZARD.
Regular Old Fashioned New England
 Storm Strueh Town.

Waterbury was visited last night by la regular old time New England snow storm. and people who were out thought it was bound to develop into { blizzard, something like the big one that dropped in on us in 1888. But it didn't prove to be as bad as that. The i amount of snowfall was not heavy, but it was accompanied by high wind that swept some places clean and piled up drifts several feet high ill other places rendering travel of every kind very difficult It was cold. too, and people who were in doors found the fireside decidedly comfortable spot While no snow fell during the day the wind kept whirling the fine stuff here and there so that pedestrians have hard time keeping out of each others way. While the storm was at it's height last night the fire depart ment had call to West Main street, and the absence of the big gong at the plant of the trolley company was felt all over town. People heard the tones of the fire bell in City hall, but they were too indistinct to be reckoned at q distance and few could tell where
 
 the need of gong which will take the place of the one in use so long, and ev. erybody hopes that arrangements will be made to have one of the shops sup. ply the service in the future. The whistle at Benedict X Burnham's. the Scoyill Manufacturing Co or the Wa terbury Brass Co would nll the bill all right and it would be a nice thing if one would take care of the fire alarms. another the schools and the other could continue the curfew bell signal at z o'clock every night
 Considering the severity of the storm the trolley cars rendered fairly good service. the big snow blows being kept tracks were kept open and were found very useful this morning even for peo- pie who do nor ride on the cars.
 The street department put up q fight against the storm, but it was practically out of the question to do much towards keeping the crossings clear, for the snow drifted back all most as fast as it was shoveled of. The same trouble was experienced with the sidewalks, but many kept at them
 
 just the same. and while they weR, not very successful still they accomplished something and what they did helped.
 No serious delays occurred on the steam railroads. The trains were q little behind time during the forenoon, but they went out on time this after noon. Three cars got off the tracks in the Naugatuck yard this morning and owing to the difficulty in getting thel1i back the wrecker had to make trip here from New Haven. This created lot of talk down the valley, many thinking that big railroad wreck had occurred in Waterbury, and the officials were annoyed answering questions about it.
 There was no trouble: to. speak of with the telephone or telegraph wires.
