San Francisco.-'The labor party ad-
ministration of San Francisco has com
menced the operation of the Geary street
railway, which has been turned over TO
the city as the result of the expiration
of a franchise. Every legal obstacle
known was put in the way of the city ad-
ministration to take over and operate
this line 1t is necessary, owing to the
extremely bad physical condition of the
roadbed and the cars, that it be almost
wholly reconstructed, and on June Il
active work commenced. Mayor Nc
Carthy has announced that all OF the
work to be done in rehabiltating the
road will be done by union labor, and
that when completed the motormen. con-
ductors and all employees OF the operat-
ing department will be put upon an eight
hour day and a wage rate that will en-
able the employees to maintain a high
standard of living. It is stated that the
employers organizations and other asso-
Citations of like character are very
much perturbed over the action taken by
the union labor administration.
Here is plenty OF food for thought for
the street railway employees of Denver.
It is shown that organization is the only
means by which the employe may be
protected from discharge on a moments
notice or advance their wages to a prop
er living standard. All over the world
street railway employees are receiving in
creases, some by strikes, some by arbi-
tration, but the Increases are secured
just the same. The street car men
should talk organization at all times
and get together.

MNAMlRA DEFENSE
FUND is GROWING
Socialists Make Success of Picnic
and Send Large Sum.

The Socialists are to the fore here as
elsewhere in raising money for the Nc
Namara defense fund. Although most of
the money has been raised from labor or
ganzations, yet the Socialists are the
ones that gathered S227.s5 together and
sent it to Secretary Frank Morrison of
the A. =. of L. OF course, other moneys
have been sent by individuals and labor
organizations, but this is the largest sum
sent cut of Denver at one time. 1t is the
result of the picnic given at Tuileries
park by the Socialist party. Over $500
were the net receipts of the picnic after
all expenses were paid

the success of the picnic and fund and

OUTSIDER MAY BE HOFFAEHIG
Being Presented at German or
Austrian Court.

The German courts are especially
stringent with regard to the right Of
being presented to their inner cir
cles. None b. those who can show
16 quarterings in heraldic sense
are permitted to come within the
charmed circle.
This implies that not alone the
person presented is Of noble birth,
but that his parents and grandpar-
ents for the last four generations
have also been of this exalted order.
Yet occasionally, by special grant
of favor, the emperor Of Germany
or of Austria may declare an out
slider "Hoffaehig," or suitable for
presentation at court.
This is very rarely done in the
case of Jews. 1t may be remembered
that some time ago the wife of the
American charge d'affaires at Wen
ma was refused admission to court
because she was a Jewess and the
gentleman in question quite proper
ly resigned his position.
One of the few exceptions that
has been made by the emperor Fran
els Joseph was the late Baron Albert
de Rothschild, who was a special IA
vorito of the emperor's, owing to the
great service performed by his IA
ther and himself to the Austrian
finances. Curiously enough, with
another generation many Of the
Rothscmlds will be "HolTaehig,"
since they will be able to show the
requisite quarterings. - American

IATEsT THEORY OF THUNDER
Noise Due TO Intense Heating Of
Gases Along the Line Of the
Electric Discharge.

II is to Professor Trowbridge that
VIC owe an experiment to explain the
noise of thunder IL has usually
been thought that the noise is caused
by the closing mp of the vacuum ere
ated by the passage Of the lightning,
the air rushing in from all sides
with q clap, but the intensity Of the
noise is rather disproportionate, and
II is now supposed that the thunder
is due to the intense heating of the
gases, especially the gas Of water va
por along the line of the electric
discharge, and the consequent con-
version of suspended moisture into
steam at enormous pressure. In this
way the crackle with which a peal
Of thunder sometimes begins might
be regarded as the sound Of steam
explosions on a small scale caused
by inductive discharges before the
main flash. The rumble would be
the overlapping steam explosions
and the final clap, which sounds
loudest, would be the steam explo-
sion nearest to the auditor. In the
case of rumbling thunder the light
ming is passing from cloud TO cloud.
When thc flash nasspS from the
earth to the clouds the clap is loud
est at the beginning. Professor
Trowbridge gave substance to these
suppositions by causing electric
flashes to pass from point to point
through terminals clothed in soaked
cotton wool, and he succeeded in
magnifying the crack Of the electric
spark to a terrifying extent.-Lon-
don Daily Graphic.

FINE POINTS ABOUT SOUPS
delicate and Proper Blending Of
Savers ls About the Chief
Thing TO Remember.

Often II Is the small attentions or
lack OF them which makes or mars a
soup. The methods have always been
very clear TO the initiated and the
painstaking But for those who do
not know a few careful suggestions
from Miss Beecher's Domestic Receipt
Book, which are put in such detailed
form that they cannot but be helpful.
She says:
The delicate and proper blending OF
savors is the chief art in good soup
making. Be sure and skim the grease
of the soup when It first boils, or It
will not become clear. Throw In a
little salt to bring up the scum. Re
move all grease.
BE sure and simmer softly and
never let a soup boil hard.
Put the meat into cold water and
let 1t grow warm slowly. This dis
solves the gelatine, allows the albu-
men to dlsengage and the scum to
rise and dlffuses the savory part OF
the meat. Be sure not to leave any
fat floating on the surface. A quart
OF water to pound of meat, or lit
tie less. is good rule. Soup made
OF uncooked meat Is as good the sec
ond day II heated to the boiling point.
II more water is needed use boiling
hot water, as cold or lukewarm spoils
the soup. It is thought that potato
water Is unhealthy, and therefore do
not boil potatoes in soup, but boil else
where and add them when nearly
cooked. The water in which poultry
or fresh meat is boiled should be
saved for gravies or soup next day. II
you do not need 1t give it to the poor,
Keep the vessel in which you boil
soup covered tight, that the flavor be
not lost
Never leave soup in metal pots. as
sometimes a family is thus poisoned.
Thickened soups. require more season
ing; nearly double the quantity used
for thin soups.

Philadelphia Ice Cream.

Allow quarter OF good vanilla
bean and seven ounces of sugar to
each quart of cream. Split the bean
in halves, scrape out the seeds and
mix them with the sugar. Cut the pod
into small pieces. add to 1t one-half
the cream. add the sugar and stir In a
double boiler over the fire until the
sugar is thoroughly dissolved and the
cream hot. Strain and stand aside to
cool. When cold add the remaining
cream, turn the mixture into the freez-
ing can, pack and turn rapidly until
the mixture begins to freeze, keeping
the motion perfectly even. Turn more
slowly for few moments, remove the
dasher, repack and stand aside for
two hours to mellow.

Once more we have an invention
designed for those who pay more than
passing attention to their meals and
acceptable to all who care for food
well cooked. This time It is a woman
in California who has come to the
rescue OF gourmets by supplying them
with a utensil that will broil meat
dry. Only those who have partaken

of steaks dripping with grease can
appreciate the value of this device.
The apparatus is a circular frame
with handle and inside the frame is
a network of metal rings-steel or
silver. The meat is placed on this
utensil and then laid in the skillet
close to the bottom. The butter cooks
up through the rings and the meat is
done without being immersed in
grease.
