WILLIAMS CASE
WILLIE DIR OPPED.

A dispatch from San Antonia, Tex,
received yesterday states that mo-
tion has been made to dismiss the case
against Rufus Williams of this city.
charged with assault and robbery. The
motion was made by the assistant dis
trict attorney of Bexar county and
will be granted, the ground being that
the trial can not proceed because of
the absence of the States most i'm
portant witness, Mrs. Sallie 4. Glib
son.
The case will be racalled as a most
remarkable one. Williams accom-
panied Mrs. Gibson to Texas and there
she charged that he took 100000 in
cash from her. Williams was arrested
within an hour and tried later, after
being released on bond. The jusy fail
ed to agree. Another charge of assault
was also brought against him and this
case will also be dropped, the district
attorney stating that he can not get
Mrs. Gibson to attend. Williams has
returned TO this State and is now con-
Quoting livery stable in Brookland.
Mrs. Gibson was a relative of the
late Squire Meetze and inherited a
very large amount of money. A great
deal of this she converted into cash
because of her distrust of the banks.
Several attempts were made to rob
her house on upper Main street when
it became known that she had money
in her possession. However, none of
these susceeded.- State. %.

Tomato Omelet-Chop fine half the
contents of a can of tomatoes, and
let where they will get thoroughly
chilled. Soak a cupful of bread
crumbs in a cup of milk and stir into
them five beaten eggs. Add the
chopped tomatoes, season to taste,
and fry in melted butter. After the
o.aelet is "set," turn upon a hot plat
tei, pour tomato sauce over 1t and
send to the table.
Fruit Fudge-Heat two teacups
;ranulated sugar, two-thirds cup milk
20 the boiling point. Boil six min
utes, exactly, then add two table
spoonfuls butter and cook to the
soft-ball stage (when tried in cold
water). Remove from fire, add tea
spoonful vanilla. a few chopped nuts,
one.half cup candied cherries, pine
apple and citron, cut in email pieces,
Cream 1t with spoon and pour into
buttered pans to cool. Cut into
squares.
Lemon Drink-Take the juice OF
twelve lemons, CRATE the rind Of six
in it, let 1t stand over night, then take
six pounds Of sugar and make q thick
| syrup, when 1t is quite cool. Strain
the juice into it and squeeze as much
oil from the grated rind as will suit
the taste, bottle and keep sealed tight.
A tablespoonful in a goblet of water
will make a delicious drink on a hot
day, and far superior to that pre-
pared from stuff called lemon syrup
that n buys.
Jellied Chicken-Boil a fowl till IL
will slip easily from the boLes; let
the water be reduced to about one
pint in boiling; pick the meat from
the bones in good sized pieces, taking
out all gristle, fat and bones; place
IN a wet mold, skim the fat from the
liquor; a little butter, pepper and salt
to the taste and one-balf ounce of ge-
latino; when this dissolves pour it
hot over the chicken. The liquor
must be seasoned pretty high, for the
| chicken absorbs.

about the streets of Bath OH 4 gray

called Lady Getty Bosom. Beau
Nash met her one day and promptly
fell in love with her. She returned
his affection. They we're married and
in the last i've years of his life she
nursed him devotedly. After his
death she vowed she never again
would sleep in q bed and made her
home il a hollow tree. she eked out

pARNING MAZE EASY.

The next time you have a hole in a
stocking that you dread to tackle,
haste a square of net over the hole.
Then darn in the usual way. Draw.
the threads back and forth through
the meshes of the net, skipping every
other one, so that in darning in the
opposite direction there is q mesh to
darn through.
Keep on hand for this purpose REM
nants OF black, white and ecru net.
They can be put in a small bag in the
earning basket, to be in readiness
whenever needed. A cotton net with
considerable body is the best to use
for an under-weave. Canvas, unless
very soft, is apt to cut the cotton.
For darning sheerer fabrics wash
blonde can be basted on the under
side of the hole and filed in the same
way. This method must not be used
where the hole is in q prominent
place.-New York Times.

WORKING IN OFFICES.

The criticisms which have been lev
elled against married women Tor
working in Offices and stores after
the knot mas been tied are unfair.
The modern wife does not lose her III
diviGuality by marriage, and If she is
CAPABLE Of drawing a good salary as
NJ Office woman she will hardly rclin-
ouish such a place in order to do
household drudgery. More married
business women are found to-day Ill
Offices and stores than at any time
before. and the Influx will continue.
TIE modern business woiaan does not
look upon her husband as a meal
ticket" but as a companion and CO.
worker, and this condition Is q bless
Ing for the men. The business ON
an has truly emancipated the clerk
from office duties and forced hinl. into
better paying trades and other cccu-
nations; yet she can earn a good SAL
airy at this work herself, and where
husband and wife both work the little
home can be purchased all the sooner.
1t is far better for wages to so to mar
ried persons who spend them in the
city in which they are earned than TO
have them go to spinsters to send to
the folks" in Oshkosh or FinckneH-
Vile. The husband whose wife insists
on working after marriage will be
foolish to oppose her-better an eff
