Potatoes Once Boiled.

If you have quantity of cold boiled
potatoes and wish they were hot. put
the usual amount of water in a pot on
the stove. Let IL come to the boiling
point. Drop the cold boiled potatoes
into the water. if possible without
lowering the temperature. If the po-
tatoes are small boil for five minutes;
If large, boil for ten minutes. In this
way they will not have a warmed-over
taste but will be as white and mealy
as when freshly boiled.

troops now at Goldfeld to leave. He
predicts that violence and bloodshed

parture. The governor, who is sick

my best judgment. l believed from
advices received from confidential
agents in GOldfield that trouble was
imminent in the mining camps.

from the mines, that the miners were
armed and prepared for trouble, and
the picketing of mines and preventing

Civil War Threatened.

Civil war has broken out in Persia
and Teheran is an armed camp, held
by two opposing forces. The reaction
aries have taken possession of and are
now holding the gun square and open
places in the vicinity of the palace,
while the constitutionalists, to the
number of about 10000. have erected
barricades extending for miles around
the parliament buildings.
The latter are acting solely on the
defense and in an orderly manner.
The Constitutionalists are quiet, but
determined to fight if attacked. They
are well armed. while the supporters
of the reactionaries, mostly muleteers
and laborers who have come in from
neighboring villages, have few effec-
tive weapons.
The charge is made that the shah
has broken his promise to carry out
the terms of the new constitution. The
rough elements are aiding the reac-
tionaries, and several murders and
some lootings have occurred.

A Mass Convention.

Further entanglements in the effort
of Grand Rapids citizens to arrange
for the holding of primary next
spring for the choice of city nominees,
came to light when the socialists an
nounced that they would nominate in
mass convention.
This means that If the Republicans
and Democrats nominate their candi-
dates at primaries and the courts
should hold such elections illegal. the
Socialists would have a great advan-
tage," said Mayor Ellis, who has os-
tensibly fathered the movement to
right the damage to the Grand Rap
ids primary election law which the
legislature caused. 1t is probable,
therefore, that Grand Rapids nominees
will be chosen in convention.

Wild West Method.

George b. Mann finished eating a
midnight lunch, in Adrians Stag no
tel, then wheeled on his stool and fired
pistol point blank at Charles Cam
burn, night clerk, behind the office
counter.
Shoot again; you've missed" said
Camburn.
"Oh, you're brave, amt you?
You've been out west" replied Mann,
and walked away.
Camburn will not prosecute. A dis
agreement over a business deal is said
to have been the instigation of the
shooting. Both are well known.

SOME ARMY DISHES
RECIPES TAKEN FROM UNCLE
SANS COOKBOOK.
Many Among Them May Be Mover
ties to Housekeepers Of This
Section ~ m "a"
Spanish Creole Preparation.

The army cookbook contains many
recipes that sound strange in some
sections OF the United States, be-
cause the dishes have been learned in
Texas and Mexico. They comprise jam
balayas, and chilli con carne, and tor
tillas and many other novelties.
A jambalaya, which is a Spanish
Creole dish, is made by frying some
sausage, cut up ham, onions, toma-
toes, red pepper and parsley in
little meat drippings" or other fat.
Boiling water is then added and some
rice; the pot is covered and 1t is set
back to cook slowly. 1t is sailed TO
taste. A jambalaya can be made from
chicken in place of the sausage, and
oysters or shrimps may be used.
For proportions smaller than given
in the book for the soldiers use half
pound OF rice that has been washed
and soaked for an hour half pound
OF ham cut small one onion, one to-
mato, quarter of pound OF sau-
sage cut up, small piece of red pep
per pod and sprig OF parsley
Instead of baking the heart OF veal
or beef creatures the hearts may be
stuffed and steamed first and then
Drowned in the oven and rich gravy
made for them. Some persons think
them quite like duck il the same kind
OF savory stufIing be made. Another
way is to cut them fine and stew
them with onion, celery, etc.
To refer again to the cookbook is
sued by the commssary general OF
subsistence there is a recipe for
cooking hearts by stewing them,
which sounds so well put together
that it would not be a hardship TO
partake of 1t. The heart is to be cut
into small pieces and all tough parts
removed. Then it must be washed in
cold sailed water. The meat is then
TO be put in a pot of cold water with
two teaspoonfuls of salt and covered
closely. The scum must be taken off
as it rises and the meat removed after
ten minutes cooking The liquor must
be strained and the pot washed out be-
fore the liquor is returned to it, Add
the pieces of meat a pound of pota-
toes sliced thin, two medium-sized
onions cut fine, one head of celery cut
fine or one level teaspoonful of celery
seed, half a pound of fresh tomatoes,
canned tomatoes or three tablespoon
fuls of tomato ketchup, two bay leaves
and some cayenne pepper, little
chopped parsley and butter or clari-
fed beef drippings the size OF an egg.
All these are TO be stewed together
until they are tender, stirring now
and then. Season with pepper and salt
and serve. A little Drowned -four may
be used for thickening the stew, or If
it has boiled away too much, add
some water
Hearts are not in general use for
food, and at public table recently
when the waiter announced the choice
of meats for dinner there was ques-
tioning and surprise openly expressed
the word heart" being repeated as
II the diners had never heard of it,
OF course the hearts of chickens are
included in giblets
Carrots may be boiled in stock. The
gravy must be made thick with a
little -four, seasoned we'll with pepper
and salt and some ketchup poured
over the carrots.

NEGROES FANAT|CAL
IN RELIGIOUS FRENZY
RIOTOUS BLACKS IN NEW Or
LEANS MAi~E TROUBLE
FOR POLICE.

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 21.-Fan-
atical excitement of negroes calling
themselves slaves "by counsel of
God" appears to have been the cause
of the riot last night in New Orleans
street, in which one policeman was
killed, several others wounded and a
number of negroes badly injured.
The isolated house in which half Il
dozen negroes barricaded themselves,
and which was fired upon by police
men and citizens from all sides for
nearly two nours, proves to have
been a meeting place of the sect.
Last night trouble started during
a meeting, when highly excited ne
groes inflicted razor wounds on Po-
liceman Cambiah, because he at
tempted to enter the meeting. Razors
were slashed across his face and neck,
mortally wounding him. Those who
remained' and barricaded themselves
were well armed. After the negroes
had been smoked into submission,
many firearms were found under the
meeting house. Excitement in that
section of the city grew intense, and
when the arrests followed it required
the efforts of score of policemen to
get the negroes through the mob and
land them in the station house.
