WILL FIGHT
TO BITTER END

Washington, Dec. 2S.-The whole
question OF sentencing for contempt Of
court Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison
by Justice Wright yesterday, will be
threshed over at a meeting Of the ex-,
ecutive council OF the Federation. of
Labor, to be held here January IL.
This meeting will be notable, I'M
~doubtedly, because the vital issues af-
fecting labor are involved in the action
of the court. Resolutions sustaining
the attitude OF the leaders of the big
organization, with its 1000 odd coun-
ellis and 2,000,0 600 members, will be sub
mitted for action. The policy Of the
federation, in view Of the courts ac-
ton and the scathing arraignment car
ried in the decision, will be outlined.
President Gompers was not al his
Office today and no information was
given out there as to where he could
be found.
Morrison at Work.
Secretary Morrison, who was given
the highest sentence of the trio Of lead
ers--six months-was at federation
headquarters, however, busy with his
routine duties. Active steps in framing
the fight against the carrying out Of
the sentences are not likely until next
week. Morrison said today the plan,
so far as h officials OF the federation
themselves foresee, Is to do nothing
about 1t until after the holidays.
we purpose" he added, ito exhaust
every effort to sustain our right to free
press and free speech. I am confident
the position taken by the federation is
right; that the citizen OF this country
will ratify the attitude OF the fedora
ton in this matter"
E 1t Is not likely that arguments on the
appeal will be heard in the court of
appeals in the District Of Columbia I'M
til March, perhaps not then. The de-
PENDANTS have 40 days in which to per-
feet their appeal, and upon proper
showing the court, In its discretion,
may extend the time.
The ruling by Justice Wright was the
absorbing topic Of conversation here to-
day. Both sides are preparing for a
legal battle which IT Is believed will
add an important chapter to an already
famous case. u.s."

Catania, Sicily, Dec. 30.--An

earthquake disturbances. People
on the waterfront were thrown
into an indescribable condition Of
fear. The approach Of the water

Old Time College Penalty.

II the Yale faculty century and
a half ago dealt differently with stu
dent offenders, the offenders them
selves were of somewhat different
order. 1t seems that "one Holmes. a
student of this college, on the Sab
bath or Lords day, travelled unnec-
essarily, and that with burden or
pack behind him, from beyond Wal
lingford to this place: which is con-
trary to the divine and civil law, as
we'll as to the laws of this college"
The college officials having fined
Holmes some 20d sterling, he subse.
quently made a public confession. of
his crime, and afterward became a
highly respected minister of the g0s-
pei. This malefactor, says Thomas
Wentworth Higginson, in Harper's
Magazine for July, writing on the
aristocratic prestige of old families in
this republican country, was a grand
uncle of DR.. Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Trawlers and Cables.

In connection with the damage
which is repeatedly being caused to
the cables of the Commercial Cable
Company off the Irish coast by Brit
ish trawlers, letter written by Mr..
Clarence H. Mackay to the United
States Secretary of State shows the
cost and trouble to which the COM
pany Is put in order to maintain its
service unimpaired. During the
past three months" he says, "our
cables have been injured and broken
two and three at a time by these
fishing trawlers at distance of about
fifty miles from the Irish coast. We
have expended over 100000 already
this year in making repairs to our
cables off the Irish coast, and each
and every one of the Interruptions
has been due to these fishing trawl-
ers. The injury to us is not
only the enormous expense of repairs,
but also the necessity of refusing to
accept business from the public for
transmission. The trouble
is that it is impossible in most in
stances to find out who the guilty
party is, and even after that is found
out, it is almost impossible to obtain
proof that the injury was wilful. -

ARTISTIC AND DELICIOUS.

Tho hostess who likes variety
should try this sauce for vanilla ice
cream instead of the popular hot
chocolate dressing: Prepare half a
dozen oranges by cutting them in
half and removing the cores. See
that every bit of skin is removed.
Boil for seven or eight minutes a half
pound of sugar and quarter of a
cup of hot water. Do, not stir or 1t
will sugar.
Dip the oranges into the hot sirup,
let them Stay minute or two, then
put on platter and pour the re-
naming sirup-ove them TO cool.
If you have ring mold freeze the
vanilla ice cream in it, pile up the
hollow with the oranges and pour
the sirup over them both. If not,
serve the ice cream on round plat
ter, and heap up the oranges around
the base.
1t is better to select the medium
sized or small oranges, or they can
be divided into sections, cut across
the whole orange with the heart re-
moved. Some of the juice is apt to
be lost by this latter method.-In-

STUFFED TOMATO SALAD.

"A stuffed tomato salad is one OF
my new recipes" writes Fannie Mer-
ritt Farmer, the great cooking au-
thority, in her monthly page in the
Woman's Home Companion. "Peel
six small tomatoes, cut slice from
the stem end of each, remove the soft
inside, sprinkle the insides with salt,
and let stand, inverted, thirty min
utes. Mash half ten-cent cream
cheese, add six chopped pimolas, one
tablespoonful of finely chopped pars-
ley, one tablespoonful of tomato pulp,
one-fourth of a teaspoonful of dry
mustard and enough French dressing
to moisten. Fill the tomato cases
with the mixture, and serve on lettuce
leaves with mayonnaise dressing,
which may be successfully made If one
will but follow directions. Mix one
teaspoonful of mustard, one teaspoon
full of salt, one teaspoonful of pow
dered sugar and few grains of cay
enne. Add the yolks of two eggs and
stir until thoroughly blended; then
add one-half teaspoonful of vinegar.
Add olive oil gradually at first, drop
by drop, and stir constantly. AS the
mixture thickens, thin with vinegar or
lemon Juice. Add oil and vinegar or
lemon juice alternately, stirring or
beating constantly, until two table
spoonfuls each of vinegar and lemon
juice and one and one-half cupfuls of
olive oil have been used. If the oil is
added too rapidly the dressing will
have curdled appearance. A smooth
consistency may be restored by taking
the yolk of another egg and adding
the curdled mixture slowly to it.
Olive oil for the making of mayon-
naise should always be thoroughly
chilled. The utensil used in the maxi
ing of mayonnaise may be silver
fork, wire whisk, small wooden spoon
or egg beater."

An Ancient SCald.
ssssssesssssssssssssseesS

During the recent visit of the King
of Denmark to the Norwegian court,
a most interesting figure might have
been remarked among the distin-
guished guests there assembled.
This was an old minstrel, or scald,
close upon ninety years of age, with
long, snow-white beard and hair, and
an air of proud dignity in spite of
his rude, coarse clothes. Had he
not a right carry his head high
among the other mobiles, he, a de-
scendant of Harold Fairhaired, the
first king of united Norway? That
doughty Harold, who went unkempt
and unshorn until he reached this
high position, in order to fulfil VOW
to his high-born ladylove, Gyda?
Never before had the old scald left
his home in Telemarken, where, true
to the habits of his very long line of
forefathers, he lived in a cave.
It was also ancient custom that the
scald should amuse the king and his
court with song and harp, so in an
swer to the request OF his majesty
of Norway, the ancient bard left his
cave and appeared at court with his
precious old viking lutte.
This lutte, called in Norwegian a
langleik, is over three hundred years
old 1t is of wood, fashioned with
much artistic skill. In shape 1t is
not unlike the lutes of later times.
Six heavy strings stretched over the
opening give forth a deep, full reso-
nance. Solemn, thrilling voices from
a dim, forgotten past seem recalled
to life.
The scald sang many folk songs
old as time, and his distinguished
audience listened with the deepest
emotion.
The King of Denmark was so inn
pressed that he warmly urged the
minstrel to visit him as guest in his
palace at Copenhagen-an invitation
which the old man accepted with
quiet dignity. Was he not also the
descendant of a king?-Youth's Com

The Cost of Makinu Butter.

In recent report published by the
Iowa State Dairy Commissioner, the
average cost of producing one pound
of butter is given as follows:
In the creamery that makes 10000
pounds of butter per year, 1t costs A
cents to make one pound of butter,
aud in a creamery producing $4,000
pounds, it costs 3.4 cents to make one
pound; while in creameries making
$4,000 pounds per year, it costs only
1.s5 cents. In some of the very
large central plants, that are produc-
ing over 100000 pounds of butter per
year, 1t costs IA cents per pound.
These figures clearly show that the
larger the creamery the cheaper but
ter can be manufactured, and they
also show that it takes about 400
cows, tributary to one factory, before
a profitable creamery business can be
established.
