Recent revelations that all castles
in England have ghosts has led to
the discovery that famous st. Pauls
cathedral in London also has one.
He is described as short, elderly
gentleman with peculiar green eyes,
and Is supposed to be night watch
man in the whispering gallery" If
he can attract your attention he will
take you 627 steps heavenward to
the ball just below the cross 1t is
related. and, once inside the small
chamber. he will take convex mir
ror from his pocket. having around
its edges mystic symbols, and place
1t In the center of the ball. IF you
are bold enough to peer into the mir
ror you will see the face of the next
member of your family who is about
to depart for the unknown shores
at least, that Is the story.

FOODS OF THE
GOOD OLD DAYS
No Longer Regional" but
Still Enjoyed.

Any reminder of the good old
days when American cookery tradi-
tions were being formed Is sure to
warm our hearts and make the gas
trio juices run a little swifter but 1t
Is safe to assert that we'd have 8
gastric reaction of a more painful
sort If we were actually to return to
the daily fare of our ancestors. We
do not want to revive the mistakes
and the deficiencies of the early
American diet. but there can be
much pleasure and benefit from re-
newing our acquaintance with some
of the dishes which derived from
the early days in this country.
Indian cookery lore has been COM
bined with and modified by the GUS
toms and traditions of each sep
arate group of settlers. In Charles
ton, G. c., the cookery Is very spe-
cial mixture of French and negro
art. Certain of the favorite old-time
dishes of the Middle and Far West
were evolved during the covered
wagon pilgrimages. Thus the be-
ginnings of camp cookery, although
much of 1t was far less healthful than
day camp food, as the frying
pan was the most extensively used
implement over those open fires. 1t
is no accident we associate clam
bakes and blneberry buildings with
Cape Cod, chile con carne with Texas
and New Mexico or fish pilaus with
Charleston. where the rice fields used
to stretch in every direction. Now
all these regional dishes may be en-
joyed at any point Of the compass.

them daily to make plain foods
more palatable, and often to turn
homely materials of frugal larder

Are Afraid Send Bonus Bill To
 President Now
Bonus Leaders Do Not Think Can Override VetO-But
 Are Trying Majority
(By The Assoclated Press)

(By The ASSoclated PreSS)
 WASHINGTON, May 9, - The Senate found itself deeply involved in legislative paradox, as the white heat of controversy beat upon the bonus issue.
 Bonus leaders who were anxious to pass the Patman bill, delayed the meaures journey to the presi- dent, while they carefully polled the senate to determine whether they could override a veto.
 Meanwhile some of them lent an ear to proposals for a compromise and indicated they would seek such compromise if they found they could not upset a veto.
 Roosevelt leaders are anxious to get the bill to the President for a veto, believing they could sustain it.
 They turned thumbs down on the compromise talk which is including proposals to permit President Roose- welt to pay the bonus through the issuance of new currency or by the issuance of bonds, or even to the extent of financing it out of the work relief funds.

To Take Maritime Strike Vote Within 72 Hours
The Washington Newsletter OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND
 Delegate from Alaska
(By J. J. ECKLES)

WASHINGTON, D. C., April 20
 The Interior Department Appro- priation Bill making appropriations for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1886, passed the Senate Tuesday. As it passed the House the Bill carried an appropriation of $40,000 for the continuation of the work of the Geo logical Survey in Alaska. This was raised to $100,000 in the Senate, probably due to the clear representa- tion of the work of the Geological Survey that was made to the Senate Sub- committee by Dr. w. C. Men denhall, Director of the Survey, and Delegate Dimond when they appear ed before the subcommittee Apfff second.
 If the item can survive the con- ference and remain in the bill when enacted it will mean an increase in the field work of the Geological Sur vey of more than three times that which would be possible under the original appropriation.

The present increase in the price of silver to seventy-four cents will be of advantage to the gold produc- CT of Alaska. In 1883 the silver that was produced in Alaska in the course of gold mining amounted in value to $55, ,000 This valuation was based on a price of thirty five cents an ounce, which today would amount to more than twice that figure, and this will be exceeded by far on ac- count of the present increased pro- duction of gold.
