A unique scene was witnessed in

A unique scene was witnessed in
the Eastern Pennsylvania Peniten-
tiary on Sept. 18th by the employees
and many visitors when G7 inmates
were confirmed in the Catholic
Church. The ceremonies were in ac-
cordance with the regulation of War
den Robert j. McKenty, which per.
mits various denominations to hold
public services at the penitentiary,
the services for the Catholic prisoners
having been held of late by priests of
the Church of the Gesu. Bishop Nc
Cort was assisted by the Rev. Bene-
dict Guldner and the Rev. Michael
O'kane, of the Gesu, and a number
of other priests attired in full pontif-
icals. Some of the prisoners were
boys, while others were bent with
age, and many Of them sobbed out
right as Bishop McCort made his ad-
dress. Each prisoner advanced to the
ribbon railing and asked for the name
they were to be given in the sacra-
ment, and reverently kissed the Bish-
ops ring as he passed out carrying
his pastoral staff at the conclusion of
the service.

A Word on Fur Fabrics.

While these fabrics have been used
for coats and wraps for a season or
two, they have never reached the per-
lection that they have this winter. At
showing of coats and wraps at the
Ritz, short time ago, these fur cloths
were used exclusively. There were
baby-lamb cloths, caracul cloths, mon
key skin, and any number of others
bearing the manufacturers trade
names. These materials are especially
we'll suited to evening wraps, and the
more dressy day coats. They arc
warm, light of weight, richly colored,
and generally satisfactory.
These fabrics are attractive, too, for
trimmings, collars, cuffs. and trimming
bands, on coats Of other materials. An
African brown baby-lamb cloth is es-
pecially beautiful for the last men,
toned use.

How To Do Away with Jumps n

Instead Of mixing cocoa with boiling
water to dissolve It before putting It
into the cocoa pot, try mixing the dry
cocoa with an equal amount Of granu-
lated sugar and then pouring It into
the boiling water in the pot, stirring
all the while. This does away with
the Jumps that usually have to be
fused over, and also q mussy cup.
The kettle should be given frequent
baths, else lime and other salts will
settle on the bottom, which may then
be dissolved of into the boiling water.

To heat water very quickly set q
broad, fiat saucepan over the fire and
cover to keep in steam.
A small uncovered board, about
the size Of q rolling board for pas
try, is invaluable for setting hot
dishes, pots, ETC., upon. This preserves
the kitchen table top, and leaves room
on the stove for other things.
To prevent q roast from becoming
fat soaked, set It upon q rack in the
roasting pan. But keep the surface
of the roasting pan covered with fat
to prevent 1t from burning. Fat is
better used here than water, as water
utterly changes the character Of the
meat.
Cold meats may be attractively
served by removing first all gristle,
bones and skin and excess fat and
then cutting into thin strips or slivers.
Warm indirectly by pouring over tho
meat any desired hot sauce.

and distinct, cook it in pot Of rapid

authors Of the Gibson bill moved to
nave the bill and all proposed amend
ments pending before the committee on
insurance printed in the journal and 200
extra copies OF the journal be printed
and laid on the desks OF the members.
Representative TillOtsOn then offered
an amendment that only the bill as in
troduced in the house be printed in the
Journal He was opposed 10 the print
ing Of the amendments Representa-
tive Grindstaff, another author Of the
bill, moved to table the TfTotson
amendment but this failed by vote Of
IS TO 65.
The Tillotson amendment was then
adopted by vote of 60 to 81 Oppon-
ents Of the bill claim that this is a
test vote on the measure, but friends
Of the bill insist that it is not, because
several members who favor the bill
were opposed to having the proposed
amendments printed in the journal at
this time. as other amendments are TO
be offered.
Baker Had an Amendment.
Representative Baker, OF Hood. sent
up an amendment 10 the bill to strike
out the enacting clause and have it also
