Cincinnati. Jan. lS.-The national
board Of baseball was reversed here
to-day by the National Commission,
when il declared John L. Sullivan. Of
the Toronto club of the international

corporated in the contract between
them "such contract shall be null and
void and the player Internationally

Lowenthal thought he detected day
light between the spheres and whipped
one of those fountain pen flashlights
from his nip pocket and turned on the
light. He found that Du Compass eye
was equal 10 his light, stuck the first
burglars back in his pocket and
went on with the game.
Weiner held the lead until the
eighth inning. when he clicked off 81
points by clever nursing. Lowenthal
came right back in the tenth frame,
however, with run of % points, fol.
lowed by 33 in the sixteenth inning,
and from then on he managed to keep
few points ahead of his rival except
for brief period in the last ten

BREAD DRESSING FOR STEAK
Many Prefer Meat Prepared in 4
Casserole to That Broiled in
the Regular Way.

If you wish to stuff a flank steak
use bread dressing; use it with veg
etables and small quantity Of liquid
in a casserole. If you do not own one
(and you should In these times of
high prices) use any tightly covered
dish. Be sure it is tight so the steam
cannot escape.
Bread Stuffing.-Two cupfuls soft
bread crumbs, one-half cupful butter
melted in one-third cupful hot water
or milk, one-quarter teaspoonful pow
dered sweet herbs or spiced poultry,
seasoning, one beaten egg. Mix the
ingredients together thoroughly. The
bread should be "a hours old and
taken from the center of the loaf.
The seasoning is a matter of indi-
v1dual taste, so you can use the above
quantities or suit your taste. The
egg may be omitted If the flank is to
be eaten hot, but will slice better
when cold if egg is used. Cracker
crumbs give drier stuffing.
Spread your flank steak with above
and roll tightly. Fry out some suet
and then brown the flank so as to
hold the juices. Put in casserole, add
little water and when half done sea-
son with salt and pepper, chopped
onions and plenty of fine minced vege-
tables or rice, whichever you may
prefer. The flank is quite juicy, so
you will need but little water. It
l. - al
vegetables make up what the flank
lacks. 1t is much better this way
than broiled as regular steak.

DIDN'T WANT TO MEET HIM

Satanic Majesty Brought Converts
to Mourner's Bench.

The late celebrated Peter Vinegar,
who in days bone by used to make
periodical visits to Danville, says the
Advocate, for the purpose of deliver
ing his sermons, remarkable on &C
count of their startling texts, on one
occasion spoke to large assemblage
of the colored population and few
whites at the old colored Methodist
church on Walnut street. He arose,
raised his spectacles from his eyes,
and said:
my beloved brederen and sisteren,

Paul pints his pistol at de 'Phesians,
an whar 1t says, 'Whar de hen
scratches dar's de worm, 'ceptin' de
case whar sum previus hen hav bin

hearers what horrible personal ap-
pearance the devil presented, with the
following description: His eyes look
like two balls Nv fire, his teef like two
skinned saplins, his ears hang down
like 'baccer leaf an his BRET smoke
like a tar kittle" That night Peter
made many converts.
