The Good Wife's Chicken.

This is one of the oldest and most
popular ways of cooking chicken in
France:
Having tied up the chicken and turn
ed the feet in. surround it with strip
of cooking bacon. Put it in saucepan
with three tablespoonfuls of butter or
the same quantity OF lard. Take care
that the saucepan In which you put the
chicken is of a good size. Cover the
saucepan and put it-on a gentle fire.
As soon as the chicken has begun TO
take a very light brown color surround
II with six white onions of medium
size and eight potatoes the size Of a
pigeons egg. Season it with salt and
pepper and continue the cooking at a
slow lire for thirty-five to forty min
utes. At this point the chicken and
vegetables should be we'll cooked and
have taken on fine rich brown color.
Arrange the chicken on a dish and
surround 1t with all the vegetables and
keep 1t warm. Pour three to four ia
blespoonfuls of hot water in the sauce
pan, stir It carefully SO as to set free
all the chicken gravy which may be
sticking to the bottom. and when it is
all well dissolved pour into this sauce
over the chicken.

BATTLE OF THE KEGS.
A Bloodless Naval Conflict Of the Rev.
dictionary War.

All wars have their humors and
jokes. and the Revolutionary war, was
no exception. Jan. 5. TIT, figures in
history as the date of the battle of the
kegs. and, though bloodless, it has been
celebrated in verse. Six months after
the Declaration of Independence, while
the British feet was stationed at Phil
adelphia, the Americans undertook to
destroy the ships by means Of impro-
vised torpedoes. which, set afloat in
the river above the city, were to carry
death and destruction among the en-
envy
The. alleged torpedoes were shaped
like kegs. and when the British land
forces discovered them floating down
the river they were drawn up and or
dered to fire on everything that came
within range. The officers remembered
the Trojan horse and feared every key
might contain an armed rebel. As the
kegs came floating down there was
great excitement and much firing. but
no casualties. The only explosions
were from the British guns, for the
torpedoes were failure.
The incident furnished much amuse
ment TO the patriots and was cleverly
versified by Francis Hopkinson.
prominent lawyer of the day, one of
the signers of the Declare ton Of Indp-
pendence and the first district judge
of Pennsylvania by appointment Of
Washington. He was one of the most
popular writers of the day, and The
Battle of the Kegs" had a great run
among the patriots and distinct iniu-
enee in the way of military inspiration.

Seventeen Freight Cars in Flames and
Twenty-Four Hours May Elapse
Before the Tracks Are
Cleared.

North Adams, Mass, Feb 2l.-Two
trainmen are dead and two are missing
and Hoosic tunnel is so effectively
blocked that it may be hours before the
tracks are cleared, as the result of
a rear-end collision between freight
and Boston-bound express train last
night. The passenger train was not
seriously damaged and managed to back
away to safety. Several freight cars
were demolished and caught fire from
the electric engine of the express.
Hours after the crash the fire was
still burning, II freight cars being in
flames, while the volume of smoke and
the heat pouring from both ends of
tie tunnel drove back those seeking
entrance.
Ii is believed the wreck was caused
by the brakes of the express failing to
work.
The known dead are Engineer Archie
l.. Simonds and Fireman Henry Gregg,
beth Of the express.
At midnight railroad officials an
nounced this two missing men were
Luther Davis and Reuben Kemp and
that they were believed to be dead.

SCANDAL TO BE AIRED9
Counsel for Schiff and Brandt Discuss
Scope of Hearing.

New York, Feb. 2l.-sRather than see
aspersions cast upon the name of wom-
an, my client would prefer to suffer in
silence in prison.
Mirabeaii L. Towns, counsel for Folke
+. Brandt, former valet for Mortimer J..
Scbiff, made this statement before Com
missioner Hand yesterday at the opening
of the hearing to ascertain whether
Brandt was sent to prison for thirty
years as the result of conspiracy.
Mr. Towns argued that, in his opinion,
the hearing before commissioner was
premature and ill-advised, inasmuch as
Brandt was not now convicted of any
crime in view of the recent action of
Judge Rosalsky, the trial Judge, in set
ting the sentence aside. In any event
said Mr. Towns, it was his desire and the
desire OF his client to confine the hear
ing to matters relevant to the issue
free from scandal.
Delaney Nieoll, for Mr.. Schiff, CON
tended that the scope of the inquiry
should not be limited,
Mr.. Nicoll made an impassioned appeal
that Brandt's application to the governor
for pardon be produced.
1--WE will show he shouted that
that man asked for clemency on the
ground that he had never committed
burglary in the Schiff home, but had
gone there at the invitation of Mrs.
Sehiff. We will lay bare all the details
of the foul conspiracy to blacken the
name of woman and we demand every
paper. every record. every witness to
protect the honor of reputable family
and the reputation of a virtuous wife
and mother"
A detective who worked on the case
against Brandt signed confession that
was "framed up The district attorney
that he had arranged to con-
fer with a certain person who was at an
alleged meeting of persons interested in
the Brandt case at the time he was
arrested. Supreme Court Justice Ger
ard. who has reserved decision in the
habcas corpus proceedings in the case,
said that he was going into the matter
in such detail that il might be a week
before the decision was handed down.
