with their friend, Miss Hannah Ferry.
HIGHLAND DOTS.
A movement has been put in operation
here by the company to have the houses
on the back street occupied by foreign
people and this week several families
changed their residences. The English
speaking people will appreciate this
move, as, on account of these people not
being familar with our customs, to live
close to them made life miserable.
Patrick Gallagher, of Mauch Chunk,
spent a few days with his parents here
this week.
Hugh Shovlin and wife returned from
their wedding tour on Monday evening.

Fannie Siddons, the woman who es-1
caped from I.aurytown asylum and is
said to have been seen between Sandy

comment. When everything iB con
sidered it appears as if she lias not been
in this vicinity, for those who claim to
have seen her cannot even give a vague

offered by the authorities would effect
her capture in short order if a glimpse
of her was had in this locality.

Waul a Confcssionul.
The project of erecting a confessional
in the Protestant Episcopal Church of
West Chester is being discussed with
much warmth because of sermon preach
ed Sunday morning by the rector, Rev.
G. Heathcoe Hills, who appears to be in
favor of such action. In an interview
yesterday he stated that the confessional
is in use in many Protestant Episcopal
churches, and that the ecclesiastical
authorities neither ndvise nor forbid it,
leaving each congregation to follow the
dictates of its own conscience in regard
to the matter.
Rev. Hill has been rector of the Holy
Trinity about two years, and during that
time the membership has increased
rapidly.
Fire Company Meets.
The members of the Citizens' Hose
Company met last evening, and elected

Powell, Ist, G. G. Pritcliard and Rodger
McNelis. James McKinley and James
Bell were elected to membership.
STUFFED TOMATOES.
Recipe of the French Inventor W ho First
Frepared Them.
It Is true that the tomato, like the
potato, belongs to the family of night
shades; but it draws its color from the
rays of the sun, instead of vegetating
in darkness and burrowing in the earth.
You get, perhaps, much more nutri
ment from the homely brown tuber
than from its sunny cousin, but when
summer is here, and the very fibers cry
out for acids and juices, the tomato is
so cooling and grateful a vegetable
that you lift it from such humble
nomenclature and call it a fruit. You
are hardly content with leaving the to
mato to the salad bowl. You like to
make more of it and have more of it.
And it lends itself to savoriness with
complete success.
Of the many forms of tomato cook
ery stuffing is the most appetizing.
Tills way of preparing the rich, ruby
balls was invented by an extremely
clever Frenchman, Grenoid de la
Rcgnicrc, and here is his own recipe:
Select firm, large and ripe tomatoes
and with a sharp knife cut a deep piece
from the stem end of each—always the
stein end. Ik-ess the fruit between the
palms to extract as many of the seeds
as possible without injury to the shape
of the fruit.
Make a simple force meat, or use
sausage meat, to which add a little
minced parseley, shallot and tarragon.
In mixing these ingredients rub a clove
of garlic over tlio inside of a bowl, or
on a crust or bread, which is to be
minced also.
The Latin always uses garlic in this
cunning fashion, thus giving an inde
scribable flavor to his seasonings.
Stuff the tomatoes with this force
meat, and place them side by side in a
dish well buttered. Sift bread crumbs
thickly over the top, dot it with bits of
butter, a teaspoonful in each lump, and
one for each tomato, and bake In a hot
oven for thirty minutes. They should
be a light brown when properly cooked.
Fried rainced onions will answer in
place of the shallot, also the dry tarra
gon finely powdered.
Left-over tomatoes are always of use.
Put them in your soups; add them to
rice, or fish or maccaroni, heat them
and serve on thin slices of toast, scram
ble them with eggs or stir them into
hash. Their acid is full of valuablo
mineral matter for the system in hot

The Remarkable COOIROSS of Two
Confodorato Scouts.
A War Story Nail to Have Been Related

Men Secured Valuable In
formation.
Gen. Loo was never a great talkei
except under one condition, and that
wan when he had a young lady to en
tertain. for then his natural gallantry
got the better of him and he was a
charming companion, though notwhnt
might be called loquacious, and he did
not care to talk of the war, prefer
ring to choose other topics. It was in
camp, however, that he so far yielded
to the desires of a couple of fair vis
itors as to spin a yarn. lie had in
vited two young ladies, cousins of his,
to dine with him. and it was to them
and at their persuasion that he told
the story of the "Two Confederate
Scouts."
Carefully arranging his napkin on
the table in front of him and sitting
perfectly erect in his chair, as was his
custom, Gen. Lee said: "When this
war is over you will hear a grout deal
of praise given the leaders of the
armies, and in the attempt to do them
honor the private soldier will, to a
certain extent, he overlooked. This is
unfortunate, since some of the noblest
and most daring deeds of the war were
done by privates on both sides.
"I was once in absolute need of pos
itive information as to the movements
of the enemy. My regular scouts were
out, so I luwl to select from a regiment
of men who were familiar with the
section of the country, if not with
their mission. Two able-bodied and
intelligent men were sent to me, to
whom I intrusted the dangerous task
of crossing the river and going into
the neighboring village to ascertain
from stragglers the coveted informa
tion. They made the trip successful
ly and returned the next noon, not
only with the facts, but with the traps
and effects of four union soldiers,
which they obtained in a manner cred
itable to the coolest and bravest men
of either army.
"After ferreting out the secrets of
the enemy they started on the return
trip, but were detained by a terrific
rainstorm of several hours' duration,
which forced them to shelter until
J®®*,..
fHKY SHOT DOWN TIIE TWO FRONT MEN.
night. When they reached the river
they found to their chagrin that it was
too much swollen to be crossed in a
canoe, and the only thing left was to
make a bed of the pine tags on the
ground and sleep until morning, when
they would proceed unmolested. Hut
they had reckoned without their host.
The enemy's pickets, who had also been
driven to shelter by the rain, were out
early next morning investigating, and
seeing fresh tracks suspected some
thing wrong. Five of them started on
the trail, plain in the soft earth, and
came upon the sleeping scouts. Feel
ing confident of having their prisoners
secure, they thought to have some in
nocent fun with them, and proceeded
to jab them in the back with the points
of their bayonets and request them to
come in out of the rain.
'Hello, Johnny, what are yon do
ing sleeping out here in the wet like
this? You will take cold. Come on with
us out of the damp.'
I "Hut the sleeping confederates could
not be aroused, and the sentinels had
a big laugh over it, particularly so
when one of them would turn partially
over and groan out: 'Oh, stop that!
What are you poking me for? It isn't
time for reveille yet,' as if he thought
he was Ln his own camp safe and
sound. Just in the midst of the great
est outbreak the scouts, with the
agility of wild animals, sprang from
their couches and with their pistols
shot down the two front men and then
as quickly dropped the other two as
the fifth man hastily retreated, leav
ing his gun behind liira.
"When the scouts heard the federal
squad advancing on them they were
too close to admit of retreat, so they
resorted to strategy and 'feigned sleep,
arranging between them that at a
given signal both should rise and fire
on different men, taking them so by
surprise that the others could be shot
also before they could get their guns
up. The trick worked perfectly, and
to it those men not only owe their
necks, but the valuable information
for headquarters and four good Snider
rifles and warm overcoats.
"I do not believe that any deed of
the war surpassed this in coolness and
bravery." t
Waterspout C'arrtes Off a Woman.
A waterspout fell near Atwoods,
Rawlinffs county, Kan., the other clay,
and in an instant the prairie was ten
feet deep with water. Mrs. Aldrieh
was crossing the dry bed of a stream
when a wall of water fifteen feet high
swept down upon her. The woman,
her horses and carriage, were swept
away and forced through seven barbed
wire fences before finally finding a
lodging place in a deop pool in the
creek from which the woman's body
was subsequently recovered. The
course of the woman's body as it was
swept away by the Hood was traced by
pieces of her clothing which clung to
the wire fence against which it was
forced^
Wanted It Absolutely Safe.
When the panic was at its height en
excited porter in a South side hotel
asked for half an hour's leave of ab
sence one day in order that he might
take his money out of a bank and put
it in a safer place. It was granted, and
at the end of the stipulated time he
returned, looking immensely relieved.
"Well, Jacobs," said his employer,
"did you draw your money out?"
"I did, sir," replied Jacobs.
"What bank was it in?"
"It was in a safety deposit vault."
"The mischief it wasl And where
have you deposited it now?"
"I gave it th' old woman, sir."—Chi

Landlord (of seaside hotel) —llow

Guest—Not very well. The fact is—
"You didn't? Let me tell you, sir,
some of the biggest men in the coun
try have occupied that bed. Cliauncey
Depew, Senator Evante, Secretary Car
lisle, Gen. Alger, Whitelaw Rcid,
Charles A. Dana, George W. Childs and
Bill Nye have all slept in it."
"That's the trouble. There's been
too many big bugs in it."—Chicago
Tribune.
Righteous Indignation.
I)unn—Say, Upton, when are you
going to pay me that ten dollars you
owe me?
Harrv Upton (indignant, but digni
fied) —Dunn, this is twice in three
years you have importuned me for that
money. I was once your friend, but
this day severs all our relations, sir!
And I wish you to understand, sir,
that, as long as I live, I shall never bor
row another dollar from you. That is
my ultimatum, sir! Good day!— Puck.

"And who is her accomplice?"
