PLAN REORGANIZATION N
Big Electric Company Will Prob

NEW YORK. Dec. 2o.-The directors
of the Westinghouse Electric and Man
ufacturing Company have awarded
100000 to George Westinghouse, presi-
dent of the company. the same to be
charged off from the company surplus
and credited to him. This amount, the
investigation of the companys affairs
disclose, had been distributed to the
officers and engineers during the last
ten years in the nature of awards for
good work, discoveries and the like,
which he believed ought to be paid for
in addition to regular salaries.
Mr.. Westinghouse is busily engaged
on plans for the reorganization of the
company, which he expects to have
ready next week.
Negotiations between the creditor in
terests of the company are said to have
progressed SO far that committee will
be appointed at once to put into def
mite shape plans already outlined
whereby the receivership might be
ended and the industry turned back to
its stockholders. At a meeting at which
Mr.. Westinghouse and several cred
itors were present 1t Is said to have
been tentatively agreed to appoint a
committee of creditors to handle the

OF
DEMOCRATS
INCOUNCIL
SinnOtt Element Said Try
ing to Make Deal to
Defeat Ryan.

Despite the fact that the Democratic
majority Of the Common Council for
1908 have caucused and chosen p. H.
Ryan, of the Fifth Ward, for president,
and John f. Sinnott, of the Seventh
Ward for leader, there Is a possibility
of the slate being smashed even at this
late hour. and the aid OF the nine un-
pledged Republican members invoked
by a faction Of the Democratic alder
men to place another man at the head
of the Council
This rumor was started when it was
said that A1r. Ryan had practically de-
cided TO appoint Joseph A. Wright, Of
the First Ward, as chairman Of the
committee on public buildings. Moth
ing definite could be ascertained from
any Of the twenty-three members of
the majority in the matter, but dame
rulnor has it that the Sinnott faction
will oppose Wright
The plan mapped out now Is to demand
of Ryan that he consult with others in
the making up OF the committees. 1t IS
said Alderman Siunott and some Of his
friends may join in with the Republicans

If the Republicans in the Council could be
benefited, but some Of the Republicans
have SO high a respect for Alderman
Ryan personally that they would not
oppose him. and thus the attempt of the
rebellious Democrats might cause split
in both parties.
Alderman Adolph 5ozner, leader OF the
Sinnott faction, declared that there was
nothing in he rumor 50 far as he knew.
and that he had heard that Ryan had not

A big ground glass loor was in evil
dence in the Supreme Court Circuit
today, where the re-trial Of Elizabeth
and Thomas Wadsworth's action for
$4,000 damages against =. Bamberger
& Co, for alleged false imprisonment,
was continued.
A jury this afternoon returned a
verdict for $255 in favor of the plaintiff
The door was shown 10 the jury
in order to convince it that, as it had
no locks. Mrs. Wadsworth could not
have been held a prisoner as she
claimed by store employees.
Miss Winnetta Won Linden. detective
for the defendants, was the most I'M

Miss Won Linden denied also that
she searched Mrs Wadsworth after
the trouble in the store, where her
daughter was arrested on charge cf
shoplifting, made by the detective, and
afterward placed on probation.
"T did not accuse Mrs. Wadsworth

TAFT ARRIVES;
NOT READY

Day World Trip.

NEW YORK. Dec. 20.--Secretary of
War Taft arrived here today on the
steamer President Grant, after a jour
ney around the world. lie was accom-
panied by Mrs. Taft and his son,

Grant at quarantine, Secretary Taft
said he was not prepared to talk on
any public questions, 81 have been
away from the United States 100 days.
cuss matters of American public in
terest at this time" said he. "Ab-
sence from home has prevented me
from keeping abreast of current events.
While the work in the war department
has, of course. moved along in the
usual way during my absence, there
are many matters of large Importance
which require my personal attention.
SO | expect to have my nose close
to the grindstone for some time to
come"
referring to the departure of the Pacific
fleet, the Seeretnry said that this subject
had not been discussed by the japanese
Emperor and himself, but that the feeling
in the island nation was that the
mancouvre was merely test of the etii-
cheney OF the navy and was not TO he
construed as anything even remotely akin
to ain unfriendly measure.
"The Japanese people are strongly in
favor Of peace" he went on. II can
speak with emphasis on this matter The
trade relations between the two nations
is strong factor for pacifcaton. Ot
Japan's yearly exports of Sl60,0O0,000 over
one-thrd comes to the United States. This,
II nothing else. would make the body of
the cation oppose any act Of hostility"
Secretary Taft said the object of his
trip was the inspection of the Philippines,
and he had no mission to or message for
any other nation. The only reason he re-
turned by way OF Siberia, he said, was
that 1t saved one day in time
The Secretary would not discuss his
boom for the Presidency.

HALL IS IMPORTANT
ENTRY TO HOME SHOULD BE
ATTRACTIVE.
Some Points to Be Considered in
Decortion and Furnshing-Di-
rections for the Making
Of Aspic Jelly.

The hall of to-day is often large
enough to be used as combination
living room as well as an entry. 1t
should, therefore, be cheerful and give
the stranger sense of welcome the
moment it is entered. The first point
to be considered is the wall paper.
This should be of some warm color,
red or rich yellow The design of
the paper is of little Importance SO
long as it is artistic, and does not in
terfere with the pictures to be hung.
The fireplace may be of face-brick or
stone with a broad shelf at the top
for the display of brassware or pot
terry.
The floor should be considered next.
1t is not well to use carpet. If pos
sible have hardwood floor partly
covered with rugs. If it happens to
be an old wooden floor, have it paint
ed or stained, so that rugs can be
used. With constant dirt and dust
blowing in, it necessitates sweeping
each day, and with a heavy carpet it
is much harder to keep clean.
In reply to an inquiry how to make
aspic jelly, we give the following
recipe from 1.-The Boston Cooking
School Cookbook: Two tablespoons
each of carrot, onion, and celery cut
into dice, two sprigs of parsley, and
the same of thyme, two cloves, one
half teaspoon peppercorns. one bay
leaf, seven-eighths of cup of white
wine, one box of gelatine, one quart
Of white stock for vegetables and
white meat, such as chicken, or one
quart of brown stock for dark meat.
juice of one lemon, and the whites
of three eggs.
Aspic jelly is always made with meat
stock, and in making it use as much
liquid as the pan which is to contain
the nodded dish will hold. Put your
vegetables, seasonings, and wine lex
cept two tablespoOns) in saucepan;
cook eight minutes, and strain, re-
serving liquid. Add gelatine to stock,
then lemon juice. Cook to boiling
point and add strained liquid. Season
with salt and pepper. Beat whites of
eggs. add the remaining wine, and
dilute with one cup of hot mixture,
stirring until ready to boil. Place on
back of range, and let stand for 20
minutes. Strain through two thick
nesses of cheesecloth, or through a
jelly bag. .Aspic jelly, cut into cubes,
diamonds, etc., is used for garnishing
cold meats, fish and salads

Pork TenderIoin Stuffed.

Pork tenderloin stuffed is really a
winter dish. II one is inclined to
grumble at the price of pork tender
loin at Is or 30 cents pound, re-
member that there is not an ounce
of loss. 1t is all meat, and good
meat, too. Here is a recipe: Four
large pork tenderloins, half pound of
fat pork, one cup of cracker crumbs.
two tablespoonfuls of butter, one tea.
spoonful of salt, half teaspoonful Of
pepper and stuffing as for poultry
Make a deep pocket in each ten
derloin and with larding needle lard
each one, fill each tenderloin with the
stumng, sew them up, place them in
a baking dish, bake in a brisk oven
As minutes, basting with a brown
sauce. Garnish with quarters of ap.
pie, cooked without sugar.
