Copyright, 1901. Desserts are a stumbling block to many | housekeepers, even when they are devoted to fresh fruits. Pies are not always digest- : ible, and puddings become monotonous, like anything else which is offered day after day. After a time come complaints from th« j masculine members of the family, and then the wise woman bestirs herself and, with the aid of her friends and the cook books, I produces a series of pleasurable little sur- prises, like the following: * Russian Jelly—Soak half a box of gelatin in a gill of cold water for ten minutes, and pour it into a pint of boiling water with a cupful of sugar and one of orange and lemon Juice mixed in the proportion of one-fourth orange and three-fourths lemon. Strain and set in a cold place to thicken enough to be whipped with an egg beater to a stiff froth. Wet a mold with cold water, put In a little of the Jelly, then a layer of candied fruit, sliced fresh fruit or preserves, more jelly and more fruit until the mold is full. Serve with whipped cream. » , Pineapple Sponge—Put on the stove to sim- mer one and a half cupfuls of pineapple, which was grated before the preserving pro- cess. Add sugar if needed and half a cup of water. 'In fifteen minutes put in one- fourth package of gelatin, which has been soaked in one-fourth cupful of cold water, and strain through a cheese cloth kept for such purposes. Place in a dish of Ice water to cool rapidly, and stir constantly until It begins to thicken, then add the juice of half a lemon' and the beaten whites of two eggs and beat until very stiff. Cool in a mold. Maple Syrup Qustard—l believe that this is a distinct novelty to many housekeepers, but j it will not remain so after the flavor of maple syrup has been accepted in other forms of cooking than the familiar griddle cakes. Make a custard of five well beaten eggs, one-fourth teaspoonfur of salt, three cups of milk and a generous half cupful of maple syrup. Mix and strain into buttered cups and bake in a pan set in hot water in a slow oven. When the centers are firm chill the custards, turn them from the molds and serve. Tapioca Jelly with Raisins—Put a pint of boiling water sin a double boiler and into it stir one-fourth cupful of fine tapioca, . half a cupful of sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful of salt, half a cupful of seeded raisins and a dozen blanched almonds cut, in pieces. Stir occasionally, and when the tapioca becomes transparent add flavoring to taste and serve hot with sugar and cream. Coffee Charlotte Russe— This is a welcome change from the familiar charlotte russe which has often appeared upon the family table. The dish is lined with lady fingers, p as usual, and the space is filled with a j delicious mixture made by chilling and whip- ping three cupfuls of thin cream and adding a tablespoonful of gelatin softened in a cup of cold black coffee,'three-fourths cupful of milk that has drained from the whipped cream and been scalded, half a cup of sugar, and the beaten yolks of two eggs. The whipped cream is folded in after the rest of the mixture has begun to stiffen. When the whole is thoroughly chilled, dip the mold into tepid water and turn the contents on to the serving dish. . \u25a0 The Queen's Disposition. Queen Victoria enjoyed good health for so long that the English people can hard- ly think of her as ill. She has an emotion- al nature, being very sad and equally happy by spells. jThe happy side , pre- dominates, however, and she has laughed and enjoyed a joke as much as the most care free of her subjects.' To this fact., without doubt, is due her general good health. The saying "Laugh and grow healthy" can easily be turned about to read, "Grow healthy and laugh." To grow healthy drink "Golden Grain Belt", beer, for it is brewed from the purest barley malt and hops. It rests the nerves and invigorates the entire system, Try It when you feel poorly, the result will be more noticeable then.

Courts May Have to Rale on Murray Hall's Case. \u25a0 JVeie York Sun Special Serviem . New. York, Jan. 21. —Coroner Zucca will issue subpoenas for .witnesses at the, in- quest into the cause of death of Murray- Hall, the Tammany politician, who was a woman." The coroner says: , ' ' . The fact that Murray Hall left " property is interesting to any relatives she may have had. , She was married to a woman, who died and left property to Murray Hall as her hus- band, and this woman's sister, who lives In Shawniut, Me., may have a right to bring an action to set aside V"! */i!l. The courts will have to decide whether a woman can be the husband of another -woman. '/A number, of lawyers agree that the will of Mrs. Murray Hall would be set aside by the courts. '': And there is another phase | of the case. Mrs. jMurray Hall's will left the bulk of her " property to Imelda Hall, who.,is' referred to as the adopted daughter of Murray Hall and his wife, Cecelia Florence Lowe | Hall. Now, if Murray Hall and the woman' she married adopted this girl in the usual legal way. Mur- ray Hall must have deceived the court. The court might set aside the adoption and the girl, Emelda. would not be "next ,of '. kin, " as set forth in the petition of the executor of Mrs. Murray Hall's estate. *' \u25a0 T ." \u25a0' .; '; j HIS NECK STRAIGHTENED \u25a0 Wonderful Recovery From. an In- Jury Fifteen Years Old.

NEW CITY CHARTER VIOLATED Health Department, an Alderman and Fire Commissioner Make .\u25a0 , I'nlunful Deal*. . Special to The Journal. Duluth, Minn., Jan. 21.— interesting test of the somewhat drastic provisions of the new Duluth charter regarding : city officials who »ell the city goods,' or heads ; of, departments who exceed their annual appropriation. Is being made. R. C. Mitchell,'who runs the Tribune, a free lance in journalism, is a pretty lively gentleman, who Isn't at all afraid to speak out in meeting, and he has been bitterly opposing the smallpox scare, for which he thinks the city physician largely responsi- ble. In digging out some facts he found that : the health department, which was limited under the finance agreement to $8,000, had spent $16,000 and was jstlll at it. . Also that Alderman Tom Trevillion, who runs a grocery, had sold large quan- tities of goods to the health '\u25a0 department, though the charter - says no city official can do so, and that bis bills frequently amounted to more than $200, though under the charter no bill of goods' exceeding $200 in cost shall be bought without advertis- ing and bids thereon. Also that Fire Commissioner Abrahamson, who runs a clothing store, was in the same boat as Alderman Trevillton. Now, parts of the new charter were especially framed to meet just such cases. j One eection says no department or officer of the city, except the library board, park board and water board, shall contract or create any debt against the city. An- other section provides that In case any officer—such as City Physician Robinson, for instance—shall illegally create a debt, no committee of the council shall approve any such claim unless it shall have "pre- viously" been authorized by the council. Still another section provides that any act not in conformity with the above sec- tions shall constitute a misdemeanor and a fine and Imprisonment are given as the punishment. But the health department has created such bills and the council committee has approved them, ap- parently with no previous approval of the council. The city conference committee is, by the charter, obliged to take notice of any expenditures of funds of a department above its appropriation, and this the health department has already done, to the extent of thousands of dollars. Then again, the charter provides that no officer or employe of the city shall vote for or make any contract between the city and himself, either individually or as part | of a corporation, etc., and as a penalty for violating this provision his office shall, by the very fact of his illegal action, become void and the city may recover any moneys paid him or his associates by a suit at law. Alderman Thomas Trevillion and Fire Commissioner Abrahamson have both sold the city goods, as is well known. There- fore, under the charter Duluth recently adopted, and which was drawn up at much cost and with great care, there is a caty- ' clysm due in tbe council and the board of i fire commissioners. That Abrahamson understood the situa- tion is shown by the fact that some of his I later bills for clothing furnished the city physician were made out in the name of "John Paulson," a clerk in Abrahamson's store. To make all this matter still more per- ! tinent and embarrassing the charter has other provisions. Section IS* says that any officers who shall wilfully or negligently violate any provision of the charter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished—when the punishment is not I otherwise provided for—as misdemeanors are punished by the criminal laws of the state, and on conviction shall forfeit his office and be liable to the city for any amount lost or any damage suffered by reason of such violation.

Ifew York Sun Special Service Chicago, Jan. 21. —Mayor Harrison is a self-confessed victim of a confidence game. He says he lost $100. An alleged letter of introduction from ex-Governor Hoagg of Texas is what caught the mayor. The story is that W. O. Perry, said by the police to be the son of wealthy pa- rents, his father serving three terms as a member of the Texas legislature and the owner of several large cattle ranches, a few days before the November election, told Mayor Harrison a plausible story relating to his business in the city and his desire to cash a draft on his home bank. The desired letter of indorsement to the Chicago bankers was given him and the draft was at once honored by the Merchants' Loan and Trust bank. Three weeks later it was returned marked "no funds," and was made good by a personal check of the mayor. Perry has been ar- rested. Frank Hall, proprietor of the Saratoga Hotel, is said to have cashed two drafts for $50 each. CANADIANS EMBARK Some of Strathcona's Horse Are Coming Home-In Cape Colony.

COUNTY SEATS WILL BE PLATTED Nearly Pear Million Acre* of Rich Land Will Be Opened for Settlement. How YorkSun Spmoial Sarvlom Washington, Jan. 21.—Preparations are being made by the government for what is likely to be the last of the noteworthy rushes to secure homes in the fertile ter- ritory of Oklahoma. In the hope of mak- ing it less sensational than the preceding rushes, which were marked by many law- less acts, the government is arranging to subdivide the land into counties and to set aside S2O acres In each county for county seat purposes. It assumes that with these county seats surveyed and platted into lots, streets and squares the disorders that marked the first opening of the territory in 1889, when even the streets in Quthrie and Oklahoma City and other towns were filled upon and covered with tents, will be averted. Persons who have lately come to Wash- ington from Oklahoma say the scenes in the camps along the northern border of the reservations are fully as interesting as those witnessed in 1889. The "sooner" element is well represented, and the gov- ernment officers will have their ingenuity taxed to prevent these enterprising indi- viduals from locating lands in advance of the time set. The heads of families and countless single men are preparing to make, the ride of their lives on the opening day. When the bugles sound at the points of entry, it will be discovered that, as in 1889, many blooded horses have been entered for the race. The lands that are to be opened to settlement comprise those ceded to the United States since 1895 by the Wichitas and associated bands of Indians, and the Comancheg and Apaches in the southern and southwestern portions of. the territory. They comprise abopt 3,800,000 acres, and are said to be as rich as any that have been acquired in Oklahoma. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0',: .

Special to The Journal. Vancouver, B. C, Jan. 21. —There has ' been an epidemic of suicide the last four- j teen days In the province of British Col- i uiubia with its comparatively small pop- ulation of about 170.000.

DAILY HOUSEHOLD COLUMNDESSERTS

By Mrs. Martha Tuft \\>ut worth.Copyright, 1901.

Desserts are a stumbling block to many |housekeepers, even when they are devotedto fresh fruits. Pies are not always digest- :ible, and puddings become monotonous, likeanything else which is offered day afterday. After a time come complaints from th« jmasculine members of the family, and thenthe wise woman bestirs herself and, withthe aid of her friends and the cook books,

Iproduces a series of pleasurable little sur-prises, like the following: *

Russian Jelly—Soak half a box of gelatinin a gill of cold water for ten minutes, andpour it into a pint of boiling water with acupful of sugar and one of orange and lemonJuice mixed in the proportion of one-fourthorange and three-fourths lemon. Strain andset in a cold place to thicken enough to bewhipped with an egg beater to a stiff froth.Wet a mold with cold water, put In a littleof the Jelly, then a layer of candied fruit,sliced fresh fruit or preserves, more jellyand more fruit until the mold is full. Servewith whipped cream. », Pineapple Sponge—Put on the stove to sim-

mer one and a half cupfuls of pineapple,which was grated before the preserving pro-cess. Add sugar if needed and half a cupof water. 'In fifteen minutes put in one-fourth package of gelatin, which has beensoaked in one-fourth cupful of cold water,and strain through a cheese cloth kept forsuch purposes. Place in a dish of Ice waterto cool rapidly, and stir constantly until Itbegins to thicken, then add the juice of halfa lemon' and the beaten whites of two eggsand beat until very stiff. Cool in a mold.

Maple Syrup Qustard—l believe that this isa distinct novelty to many housekeepers, but jit will not remain so after the flavor ofmaple syrup has been accepted in otherforms of cooking than the familiar griddlecakes. Make a custard of five well beateneggs, one-fourth teaspoonfur of salt, threecups of milk and a generous half cupful ofmaple syrup. Mix and strain into butteredcups and bake in a pan set in hot water ina slow oven. When the centers are firmchill the custards, turn them from the moldsand serve.

Tapioca Jelly with Raisins—Put a pint ofboiling water sin a double boiler and intoit stir one-fourth cupful of fine tapioca, . halfa cupful of sugar, one-fourth teaspoonful ofsalt, half a cupful of seeded raisins and adozen blanched almonds cut, in pieces. Stiroccasionally, and when the tapioca becomestransparent add flavoring to taste and servehot with sugar and cream.

Coffee Charlotte Russe— This is a welcomechange from the familiar charlotte russewhich has often appeared upon the familytable. The dish is lined with lady fingers,

pas usual, and the space is filled with a jdelicious mixture made by chilling and whip-ping three cupfuls of thin cream and addinga tablespoonful of gelatin softened in a cupof cold black coffee,'three-fourths cupful ofmilk that has drained from the whippedcream and been scalded, half a cup of sugar,and the beaten yolks of two eggs. Thewhipped cream is folded in after the rest ofthe mixture has begun to stiffen. When thewhole is thoroughly chilled, dip the moldinto tepid water and turn the contents on tothe serving dish. . \u25a0

The Queen's Disposition.

Queen Victoria enjoyed good health forso long that the English people can hard-lythink of her as ill. She has an emotion-al nature, being very sad and equallyhappy by spells. jThe happy side ,pre-dominates, however, and she has laughedand enjoyed a joke as much as the mostcare free of her subjects.' To this fact.,without doubt, is due her general goodhealth. The saying "Laugh and growhealthy" can easily be turned about toread, "Grow healthy and laugh." Togrow healthy drink "Golden Grain Belt",beer, for it is brewed from the purestbarley malt and hops. It rests the nervesand invigorates the entire system, Try Itwhen you feel poorly, the result will bemore noticeable then. Telephone "TheBrewery," 486 Main. j

You havetho choice of six delicious flavors: or-ange, lemon, strawberry, raspberry, peach,wild cherry and the plain "calfsfoot" formaking wine and coffee jellies.

JVeie YorkSun Special Serviem .New. York, Jan. 21. —Coroner Zucca will

issue subpoenas for .witnesses at the, in-quest into the cause of death of Murray-Hall, the Tammany politician, who was awoman." The coroner says: , ' ' . •

The fact that Murray Hall left" propertyis interesting to any relatives she may havehad. , She was married to a woman, who diedand left property to Murray Hall as her hus-band, and this woman's sister, who lives InShawniut, Me., may have a right to bringan action to set aside V"! */i!l. The courtswill have to decide whether a woman can bethe husband of another -woman. '/A number, oflawyers agree that the will of Mrs. MurrayHall would be set aside by the courts. '':

And there is another phase | of the case.Mrs. jMurray Hall's will left the bulk of her "property to Imelda Hall, who.,is' referred toas the adopted daughter of Murray Hall andhis wife, Cecelia Florence Lowe | Hall. Now,if Murray Hall and the woman' she marriedadopted this girl in the usual legal way. Mur-ray Hall must have deceived the court.

THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUKNAL.

A CATYCLYSM DUEDuluth CityOfficials Found in Pret-

ty Deep Water.

NEW CITY CHARTER VIOLATED

Health Department, an Aldermanand Fire Commissioner Make

.\u25a0 , I'nlunful Deal*. .

Special to The Journal.Duluth, Minn., Jan. 21.— interesting

test of the somewhat drastic provisions ofthe new Duluth charter regarding : cityofficials who »ell the city goods,' or heads

; of, departments who exceed their annualappropriation. Is being made.

R. C. Mitchell,'who runs the Tribune, afree lance in journalism, is a pretty livelygentleman, who Isn't at all afraid to speakout in meeting, and he has been bitterlyopposing the smallpox scare, for which hethinks the city physician largely responsi-ble. In digging out some facts he foundthat : the health department, which waslimited under the finance agreement to$8,000, had spent $16,000 and was jstlllatit. . Also that Alderman Tom Trevillion,who runs a grocery, had sold large quan-tities of goods to the health '\u25a0 department,though the charter -says no city officialcan do so, and that bis bills frequentlyamounted to more than $200, though underthe charter no bill of goods' exceeding $200in cost shall be bought without advertis-ing and bids thereon. Also that FireCommissioner Abrahamson, who runs aclothing store, was in the same boat asAlderman Trevillton.

Now, parts of the new charter wereespecially framed to meet just such cases.

j One eection says no department or officerof the city, except the library board, parkboard and water board, shall contract orcreate any debt against the city. An-other section provides that In case anyofficer—such as City Physician Robinson,for instance—shall illegally create a debt,no committee of the council shall approveany such claim unless it shall have "pre-viously" been authorized by the council.Still another section provides that anyact not in conformity with the above sec-tions shall constitute a misdemeanor anda fine and Imprisonment are givenas the punishment. But the healthdepartment has created such bills and thecouncil committee has approved them, ap-parently with no previous approval of thecouncil.

The city conference committee is, bythe charter, obliged to take notice of anyexpenditures of funds of a departmentabove its appropriation, and this thehealth department has already done, to theextent of thousands of dollars.

Then again, the charter provides thatno officer or employe of the city shall votefor or make any contract between the cityand himself, either individuallyor as part

| of a corporation, etc., and as a penalty forviolating this provision his office shall, bythe very fact of his illegal action, becomevoid and the city may recover any moneyspaid him or his associates by a suit atlaw.

Alderman Thomas Trevillion and FireCommissioner Abrahamson have both soldthe city goods, as is well known. There-fore, under the charter Duluth recentlyadopted, and which was drawn up at muchcost and with great care, there is a caty-

' clysm due in tbe council and the board ofi fire commissioners.

That Abrahamson understood the situa-tion is shown by the fact that some of his

I later bills for clothing furnished the cityphysician were made out in the name of"John Paulson," a clerk in Abrahamson'sstore.

To make all this matter still more per-! tinent and embarrassing the charter hasother provisions. Section IS* says that anyofficers who shall wilfully or negligentlyviolate any provision of the charter shallbe guilty of a misdemeanor and shall bepunished—when the punishment is not

I otherwise provided for—as misdemeanorsare punished by the criminal laws of thestate, and on conviction shall forfeit hisoffice and be liable to the city for anyamount lost or any damage suffered byreason of such violation.

BUNCOED THE MAYORChicago Executive Says He Stood

Sponsor for a Draft.Ifew York Sun Special Service

Chicago, Jan. 21.—Mayor Harrison isa self-confessed victim of a confidencegame. He says he lost $100. An allegedletter of introduction from ex-GovernorHoagg of Texas is what caught the mayor.

The story is that W. O. Perry, said bythe police to be the son of wealthy pa-rents, his father serving three terms asa member of the Texas legislature andthe owner of several large cattle ranches,a few days before the November election,told Mayor Harrison a plausible storyrelating to his business in the city andhis desire to cash a draft on his homebank. The desired letter of indorsementto the Chicago bankers was given himand the draft was at once honored by theMerchants' Loan and Trust bank. Threeweeks later it was returned marked "nofunds," and was made good by a personalcheck of the mayor. Perry has been ar-rested.

Frank Hall, proprietor of the SaratogaHotel, is said to have cashed two draftsfor $50 each.

"SOONERS" ON HANDGovernment Hopes to Block Them

in the Oklahoma Rush.

COUNTY SEATS WILL BE PLATTED

Nearly Pear Million Acre* of RichLand Will Be Opened for

Settlement.

How YorkSun Spmoial SarvlomWashington, Jan. 21.—Preparations are

being made by the government for what islikely to be the last of the noteworthyrushes to secure homes in the fertile ter-ritory of Oklahoma. In the hope of mak-ing it less sensational than the precedingrushes, which were marked by many law-less acts, the government is arranging tosubdivide the land into counties and toset aside S2O acres In each county forcounty seat purposes.

It assumes that with these county seatssurveyed and platted into lots, streetsand squares the disorders that marked thefirst opening of the territory in 1889, wheneven the streets in Quthrie and OklahomaCity and other towns were filled upon andcovered with tents, will be averted.

Persons who have lately come to Wash-ington from Oklahoma say the scenes inthe camps along the northern border ofthe reservations are fully as interestingas those witnessed in 1889. The "sooner"element is well represented, and the gov-ernment officers will have their ingenuitytaxed to prevent these enterprising indi-viduals from locating lands in advance ofthe time set.

The heads of families and countlesssingle men are preparing to make, the rideof their lives on the opening day. Whenthe bugles sound at the points of entry,itwill be discovered that, as in 1889, manyblooded horses have been entered for therace. The lands that are to be opened tosettlement comprise those ceded to theUnited States since 1895 by the Wichitasand associated bands of Indians, and theComancheg and Apaches in the southernand southwestern portions of. the territory.They comprise abopt 3,800,000 acres, andare said to be as rich as any that havebeen acquired in Oklahoma. \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0\u25a0',: .
