DELICIOUS MEAT DISH
POT ROAeT OFFERS MOST NUTRi.
MENT AND SMALLEST WAITE.
Can Be Made Of tho Cheaper Cuts Of
Beef With Excellent Resulta
r Eye Of Beef
Best Out

Pot roast Is one Of thx deliciouS
meat dishes that a be made Of the
cheaper (not the cheapest) outs OF
beet with excellent results. 1t Is q
great mistake to imagine that the
cheaper cuts of meat are less nutri-
tious, tho fact being that these offer
the most OF nutrimsnt and smallest
waste. For example, the first ribs OF
beef contain about 1873 per cont. pro-
ted or body building material, and
tho hlndquarter 1877 per cent. OF pro-
ted material.
Perhaps 1t 10 not fair to call pot
roast a cheap dish, because the prices
vary IN widely In different localities,
and the cuts vary SO much. In the VII
cinity of Providence, r. l., for exam
ole, our correspondents report prices
of IL to Is cents a pound; in Phila-
delphia, IA to 20 cents, and In New
York, Is TO 20 cents.
In Providence they sell for pot
roast the rump "a to 16 %cents), Shout
der III to IA c%ents). and bottom
round (16 to IS cents); in Philadel-
phia and vicinity the chuck roast,
next to ribs "a %cents), shoulder cut
GIG to 10 cents), and the RIBS (1S to
30 cents). In New York City and the
west prices are higher and their range
is greater. The cuts are bottom round,
top sirloin (Which Is too expensive, az
a rule. and requires less %cooking), top
round and brisket. 16 to % cents.
The eye of the beef Is considered
the epicurean cut for pot roast. This
Is a triangular piece OF meat taken
from the h%indQuarter between the top
and bottom round after the bone hal
been removed. In the west, pot roast
Is often made by cutting vertically
through the bottom and top round Qn-
side round) instead Of cutting either
the bottom or the top round (inside
round) separately, as is done In the
east. This top round or part on the
inside Of the hindauarter Is excep-
tionally good for pot roast.
In different localities the names OF
beef cuts are entirely different. In
some places, for example, the flank Is
cut 80 as to include more OF the loln,
In which caSe the upper portion Is
often called the flank steak. Some
times the rump Is called the rump
steak; the inside round, the top
round; tho plate, the rattle. Often
the cross ribs and brisket are includ-
ed together under the name Of cross
ribs; the forepart Of the cross ribs Is
often called the shoulder clod and the
log underneath the second round Is
called the hind shoulder. Often. too,
the socket and rump together are CALL
ed simply the rump. Consequently
on must know from what part CT the
becf the meat should Be cut and how
1t looks. This knowledge must be &C.

FEMALES CRY
FOR JUSTICE
Exciting Case in South Am
boy Court Last Night.
special to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
South Amboy, July 11.-One OF
the most noted cases in the history
of the police court was heard before
Judge Birmingham last night. This
was an adjourned case from last
week. The complaint was made I'M
der the disorderly act by Mrs. Ella
Thomas against Thomas o. Quack-
enbush, for using offensive language
toward her.
The case was called about 7 p. m.
Both plaintiff and defendant were
without counsel, excepting Mrs.
Cecilia B. Chauncey, widow of the
late Commodore Chauncey, of the
u. s.. Navy, who was permitted by
the Judge to assist Mrs. Thomas In
the closing up of the case.
The first witness to give evidence
was the plaintiff herself, who testi-
field that she was on Stevens avenue
and was there for the purpose of
fulfilling her duty as an agent for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to AMI
mails, when Mr.. Quackenbush ap-
peared upon the scene and had con-
siderable to say in reference to the
teams pulling the load and that In
conclusion, he said: Goats, oats, you
had better steal another bag of
oats" The next witness name was
Smith. He told about the teams,
but said he did not hear anything
about oats. The plaintiff then rest
ed her case.
The defendant made the state
ment that all he said was he would
give the horses some long oats, that
there was no reference to the plain
tiff. w. H. Berlew gave evidence
of the same nature, that he heard
the word oats mentioned, but did
not know who said it Or to whom
reference was made. John Carroll
also gave evidence nearly the same
as the preceding witnesses.
AS a matter of courtesy the Judge
gave Mrs. Chauncey an opportunity
to sum up the matter according to
her views of the case. AS an intro
ductory she said all she claimed was
Justice for her sex, and that when
they were insulted OF the street if
they could not get Justice In the
courts they, the females, would have
to take the law In their own hands
and whale such men as defendant
until they would stop such work.
"Why, judge" she said, pointing to
defendant, 81 would not believe
thai man under oath. Why l was
two or three days plastering up
plaintiffs face where he scratched
her three or four years ago. There
were also bruises about her person
and 1 know, Judge, he cut the bill
off her rooster, but Judge what we
want Is Justice"
The Judge ~4asnissea the case as
the HSaHAhderance of evidence was
the defense.

eyes opened, and l shuddered with hor.

ing into the side of the hill. Clinging
to the tree trunk l attained my feet,
stlll swaying from weakness, and was
thus able to glance about over the
edge of the bank, and gain some con.
ception of my immediate surroundings.

tinged with red reflection. / must

ton of time proved that those who
had imprisoned me there had left me
to die. God! l couldn't believe that
not of her! Clear as the evidence ap.
peared, yet fought down the thought
bitterly, creeping on hands and knees
over the edge of the bank, to where
could sit on the grass, and gaze
about in the growing light. The house
was to the left, an apple orchard be.
tween, and low fence enclosing a
garden. l could gain but glimpses OF
the mansion through the intervening
trees, but it was large, imposing, a
square, oldfashioned house, painted
white, with green shutters. 1t ap.
peared deserted, and no spirals of
smoke ascended from the kitchen
chimney. Apparently not even the
servants were yet stirring. However,
there was smoke showing farther to
the right, but | had to move before
could see the cause clearly-the
smouldering remains of what must
have been large barn. l advanced in

as a ram, lying across the threshold,
and many of the boxes and barrels
within had been smashed with axes.
The ground all about had been tram.
pied by horses hoofs, and only a
smouldering fragment of the stables
remained.
l stayed about perplexed, unable to
decipher the meaning of such de-
struction. Surely Grant would never
dare such a deed with his unarmed
force. Besides Elmhurst was the
property of a loyalist, ay! the colonel
of his regiment. Not even the mad
ness of anger would justify so wanton
an act. Whatever the mystery could
never hope to solve it lettering there;
the house itself would doubtless reveal
the story, and l turned in that direc-
ton, skirting the fence, yet exercising
care, for there might still remain de-
Tenders within, behind those green
blinds, to mistake me for an enemy. l

tered. The man lay face upward. his
feet inside the hallway, one side of
his head crushed in. He was roughly
dressed in woolen shirt and patched
smallclothes, and wore gold hoops in
his ears, his complexion dark enough
for mulatto, with hands scared and
twisted. Surely the fellow was no
soldier; he appeared more to me like
one who had followed the sea. ]
stepped over his body, and glanced the
length of the hall The chandelier was
shattered, the glass cleaning under
foot, the stair rail broken into jagged
splinter, and a second man, shot
through the eye, rested half upright
propped against the lower step. He
was sandy-bearded fellow, no better
dressed than the one without, but with
a belt about him, containing pistol
and knife. His yellow teeth protlud.

stuck out from behind the staircase

these, barely showing, the green cloth
