ITALIANS ENGAGE In
FIGHT OVER CLOTHES

Three Italians engaged in a fierce
fight last evening on Twentieth street.
near Second avenue, In which one Of
the trio was knocked insensible with
rock. The trouble arose over a
suit of clothes which It seems each had
assisted in paying for and which each
wore IN turn. One Of the Italians was
leaving for another city last evening,
where he had work and insisted upon
taking the suit of clothes. The other
two each claimed it also and the re-
suit was a mixup in which all three
we're considerably battered up.

NoURIsHING BEEF DISHES.

l. wonder how many careful house
mothers know stuffed roast beef? To
make 1t get two flank steaks Of gener-
Gus size, sew them together with clean
strong cotton and stuff bag thus
formed in any way you like. Tie up
the steaks. Butter them we'll over the
outside. Slip into a we'll buttered
paper bag plenty large enough to hold
them, add a tablespoonful Of water,
cook in hot oven three minutes. then
turn off the heat more than half and
cook for forty minutes more. Very
heavy steaks may take longer. and
light ones a shorter time. Sliced
onions laid around the steak will flavor
the meat and the gravy.
Take four pounds of round beef-the
best cut. Rub over literally with but
ter or clarified drippings. but do not
salt, and put into bag. which has
been thickly buttered, along with half
a can OF tomatoes or three large fresh
ones. peeled and chopped. one minced
onion. one small red pepper, three
cloves and six grains of alspice. Score
the beef lightly on top SO as to press
tomatoes. onion. etc., and lay on them
a lump of butter or dripping rolled In
salted flour. Add tablespoonful of
vinegar and water mixed. Seal bag
tight, and cook very slowly for three
hours. A gas jet turned half down
gives about the right heat. Take from
the bag. pour out the gravy-in a
saucepan If you want 1t thickened
with Drowned flour; otherwise. in the
boat. The meat will be very tender
and delicious.
Yorkshire pudding does not abso-
lutely demand cooking underneath a
roast. To go with this round roast,
you can make 1t thus. Beat two eggs
separately very light, then add to
them alternately cup Of sweet milk
and two cups Of -four, sifted with half
teaspoonful salt, and teaspoonful
baking powder. Mix smoothly, pour
into very we'll creased bag. seal. al

1t Is too hot-cool IL Y setting very
shallow pan Of cold water upon the
floor just before putting in the cake
Take out the pan after few minutes,
of course. first turning down the gas
flame, or pushing in the dampers to

hour to an hour and half. accord
ing to the thickness of the cakes.
Midway the baking they should be
shifted-those from the grid shelf set
low on the broiler. those from the
broiler put high, SO that they will cook
evenly. Make holes in the bag tops
and test the cakes before taking them
up by thrusting in a. clean straw or
thin knife blade. II the thing thrust
in comes out with no sickness cling
ing to 1t. the cake is done. Bag cook
ing prevents crusting over. and there-
by facilitates rising. 1t also saves
from burning and avoids the risk OF
jarring-by too much opening Of the
oven door. Baking powder can be-
used in place of soda and cream on
tartar. but to my thinking the old way
is the best
Raisin cake is made almost the same
as pound cake, but takes little longer
and slower baking.
Every household almost has It's own
favorite gingerbread and tea-cake.

can do this easily by cutting them
out in all manner of fancy shapes be-

frosting them in many colors-white,
pink. green. yellow and brown. and
sprinkllng them before the frosting
hardens, with tiny colored candies, or
chopped nuts, or candied peel. or

A band of daring, II unscrupulous,
men resolved to rid England Of King
James. the royal family and Parlia-

to open Parliament, to set match to
the powder and blow up every one in

Robert Catesby, Thomas Piercy and

been Guido Fox. but who is known to
history as Guy Fawkes." No one

he consented to do 1t through hatred

Parliament was to meet on Novem-

the royal family we're to be there. At
a signal Fawkes was to light the pow

secretary laughed at it as hoax. but
was induced to show it to the king.

the night Of Nov. he ordered Par

searchers neared the cellars they met

seized before he could dart back and
the place was ransacked.
The sight of 80 large pile of
wood reused suspicion. The wood
was cleared away and the gunpowder
barrels were discovered. Fawkes.

vain to set fire to the gunpowder and
to die with his enemies. He was
overpowered and dragged before the
king. There he made surly. con-

gives the following account Of his
farewell to the world:
This very tall and desperate fell

thereafter Nov. was celebrated
