After Dinner Tricks.

When fruit has been served with the
dessert, and in consequence there are
hnger bowls on the table, it is curious
as well as amusing to wet the middle
finger and pass it slowly around the
rim of the bowl, keeping firm pres
sure. In moment low, long drawn
out musical tone will be heard; each.
glass will give out u4nerent tone and
the result when several glasses are
emitting sounds at the same time is a
strange mixture of harmony
An after dinner trick much enjoyed
by children is to put walnut shells
hlled with brandy or alcohol into their
finger bowls and then light them.
These burning ships at sea are a won
derful sight, and grown people as well
as the children are not averse to
watching this exciting end to a dinner
party.
Guessing Contest.
An amusing guessing contest was
arranged in the most impromptu man
ner by hostess at recent evening
party. 1t afforded no end of fun and
establishment in showing how very lit
tie a person knew about the detail of
common things and how very decep-
tive the eye is. Objects were hastily
gathered and placed on table, pen
ellis and paper provided, and 20 min
utes allowed in which to answer the
following questions:
What is the height of mans silk
hat?
How many seeds in an apple or an
orange?
What is the weight of an egg?
How many peanuts in a pint?
How many spots in pack of cards?
Draw the face of clock.
What is the diameter of a half dol
lar?
How many spokes in a wheel?-
How many matches in box?
An anxious housewife asks chow to
keep homemade bread moist and for
a good recipe for ice cream"
In reply to the first question there
are two ways of keeping the bread;
one is in regular tin box with a lid
that comes especially for the purpose.
and the other and a most satisfactory
way is to put the loaves in an earth
ernWare crock, cover with a bread
cloth and put plate over the top.
Personally like cream made with
out eggs, so I give this recipe. To
every quart Of cream add six tables
spoonsful of powdered sugar and anv
fiavoring desired. Many people use
corn starch and gelatine, but one of
the most successful makers of ice
cream told me never to use anything
but pure cream and sugar with any
fruit, strawberry, banana, nuts or
crushed maccaroons.

NEW YORK, June 20.-A special dis

tells of the abduction of Annie Haas yes.

They seized the girl before her mothers
eyes, gagged her with handkerchief
and whizzed away with her at the rate
of 60 miles an hour. The story con.

Haas acknowledges tonight that Annie,
who is 10 years old, is his adopted
daughter but he insists he and his wife
have had her in their care for over
seven years and love her as if she was
their own. Haas is certain that the
kidnapers in the automobile are guests,
perhaps relatives, of Annie's natural
mother.
"The abduction was cunningly plan
ned Haas was away from his newly
purchased home at Willow Grove, IL
miles from this city. The two men in
the automobile dashed by the Hass farm
house before whose door they saw Annie
and her younger sister Haas own child.
The men returned in few moments and
stopped before the house, pretending to
make repairs to the machine.
"The children ran up to the machine
ard the instant Annie was close enough
the men seized her, thrust a. handker-
chief in her mouth, hustled her into the

Pitchfork Senator Thinks the Railroad
Lawyers and Their Families Should
Not Be Given Free Rides
Bailey Differs.

WASHINGTON, June 29.-The Senate
devoted most of its time today to a
of the conference reports,
including reports on the railroad rate
bill, the Pure Food bill and the meat in
spection provision Of the agricultural
bill All were adopted during the day
session. The principal controversy was
over the rate bill when Bailey and Till.
man held heated colloquy. the more no.
table because of the warm friendship
existing between the two senator's. The
controversy was on the subject of rail-
road lawyers in connection with the pass
feature of the rate bill. Bailey ex-
pressed strong disapproval of the South
Carolinan's views on that subject, Till
man objecting to placing railroad law
yers and their families among those
favored by the rate bill in the list of
persons entitled to ride on passes. There
was also much discussion on the meat
inspection provision. A number of sena-
tors expressed themselves as willing only
to accept the House provision, because
it was attached to an appropriation bill,
and deadlock would cause failure
in the supply bill. Bailey spoke highly
of Tillman's usefulness as senator and
citizen, but said that sometimes he let
certain prejudices interfere with his
judgment.

good one, is as good citizen as lives

Tillman replied declaring his regard
for respectable members personally, but
added:

the DIRTY creatures who run political
are the men whom he would

Minnesota Citizens Protest Against
Selling Flour.
GOVERNOR SENDS TELEGRAM
Protests to Mayor Schmitz Against the
Sale of Flour Intended For Free
Distribution to the Needy
Frisco Sufferers.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-Mayor
Schmitz received the following telegram
from Governor johnson of Minnesota:
'The citizens of Minneapolis donated
$4,000 sacks of -four for free distribution
among the needy sufferers of the Cali
fornia disaster. They protest against
the sale or delivery of this flour and
insist upon its distribution as intended
and with them | earnestly join in their
protest"
Mayor Schmitz has taken no action in
the matter as yet,
1t is claimed by the relief committee
and General Greedy that the donations
are in excess of all possible needs, and it
was deemed the best plan to dispose of
it rather than pay storage on thousands
of barrels, especially as the storage ia
ciities are limited. Seven hundred and
fifty thousand pounds are reserved,
which it is estimated will be sufficient
for the needs of the sufferers of six
months. On the other hand, it is also
claimed that many people desire the
flour distributed as it was intended by
the donors and that applications for it
have not been granted.
The relief committee declares that the
proceeds fro mthe sale of flour, which
amounts to over quarter of million
dollars will be used for more pressing
needs of relief.
According to budgets submitted to the
relief commission today by Commission
ers Devine, Pippy, Moran and by DR..
James w. Ward, the city's chief health
official will require considerably more
than million year to administer and
dispense the money contributed for the
destitute residents of San Francisco DR.,
Ward will require about $4,000 and
Major CASTOR superintendent Of camps
will require $4,000 and there will be
many salaries and incidental expenses in
connection with the relief work.

Financial Institution Of Frisco in
Good Shape.
HAVE RECOVERED FROM FIRE
Bulletin of Progress Shows Bank Clear
ings Are But Nine Per Cent
Less For June, 1906, Than
in June, 1905.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 29.-In its
monthly bulletin Of progress which it
will issue Saturday, the California Pro-
motion Committee says that commercial
conditions throughout California are un-
precedented in the history of recupera-
ton from disaster and shows that the
financial institutions of the state are
on sound basis with plenty of funds.
The clearings of San Francisco for the
month showed decrease Of but 0 per
cent from those of the same period in
1905. The clearings for June, 1905,
amounted to $l2l67I692, as against
$l34s36,632 for June, 1905. Nearly 25,-
900 skilled laborers are employed in
reconstruction work, there having been
between 1000 and 5000 temporary
houses erected since the fire. During
June 656 building permits were issued.
There is strong demand for labor
throughout the state, with good crops
of all products except apricots. The
westward over railroads entering the
state, shows little abatement of volume
when compared with previous years.
The tonnage of foreign vessels entering
the port of San Francisco during June
amounted to 60l3S.

Ministry Would Use Army While
Soldiers Are Yet
Loyal.
TAKE REPRESSIvE MEASURES
Government Realizes That Something
Must Be Done Quickly To Check
the Growing Dissatfection
of the People.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 20. - Under
the influence OF recent developments
touching the loyalty OF the army and
the conviction that the present policy OF
inaction has reached its Limit, the reae'
tionary faction Of the ministry has re-
yived the plan for dissolution of par
Lament and the stamping out Of revolu.
tionary activity in the country by armed
force. while such force is still available.
Ministrial repressionists base their hopes
on the supposition that the great ma
jority OF troops will hail an actual con-
fict as at Moscow in December last,
they forgot their grievances to enter
whole heartedly into the combat. One
Of the advocates Of repression said to
tho Associated Press today that it would
be necessary to strike hard Immediately
or otherwise within fortnight the world
would probably see proclamations of re-
puhlics in many places. The whole south
of Russia, the speaker said, is belching
forth anarchy and revolution and parlia-
ment as "a hindrance to the work of
paciRcation" must be dissolved at once.
Emperor Nicholas according to reliable
information which has reached the Asso.
ciated Press, summoned the Preobmjen-
sky regiment before the Imperial Palace
at Peterhof today and in a sarcastic ad-
dress expressed his regret at the evil
dence of their disloyalty in declaring
sympathy with the radical program of
parliament. The emperor concluded by
saying that he never would wear the
uniform of that regiment.
