"My husband," said a physician's wife not long ago, "chanced to see one day, standing on a shelf outside our kitchen win- dow, some molds of jelly cooling for the nighe's dinner. They were uncovered, as they were out of reach of cats and in full view of the cook's watchful eye. But he questioned me aboub them and asked if it was our usual custom to leave jelly thus unprotected. I was obliged to reply that, so far asi. knew, it was. " Then he said: Don't you know that when we medical men wanb to secure minute organisms for investigation we expose gelatine to the air in a place where we have confined ma- lignant germs? The gelatine speedily attracts and holds them. I'm afraid your flavored gelatine does the same. Cool the jelly if you must, but cover it with a piece of sheer close muslin or, better if you have it, some pieces •of glass taken from a broken window pane.' And we have always done that since then." It is to be feared that kitchen processes are sources of illness more often than is imagined.

There has been some rather piteous talk about the poverty in which M. Harrison will quit office, says a Washington special to the World. It is sublimated nonsense. Mr. Harrison has had an annual salary of $50,000. He has been allowed $5,000 a year for a private secretary, $2,500 for an assistant secretary, and from $900 to $2,000 each for one executive clerk and dia. blueing officer, another executive clerk, four other clerks, an usher, a steward, chief doorkeeper, four doorkeepers, four messengers, an engineer and a watchman. He has also been allowed the tidy sum of $9,000 for " contingent expenses.' That is to say, Mr. Harrison, in addition to his salary of $50,000 a year, has had his expenses paid to the tune d$44,200 e. year, thus making his annual earnings $94,200, and his earnings for the term $376,800.

PAT FENTOS CASE lie is Held for Trial for the Shooting of Minnie Davis, SOME EllATIIER STARTLING' TESTIMONY, Sister of the Dead Girl Engaged to MarrY the Prisoner. PORT Thelon, Dec. 31. --This last day of the dying year has been the most senile - tinned that the township of Soarboro' and the little village of Highland Creek have ever seen. It was the cley appointed for the holdingof an inquest on the body of Minnie Davis, the young woman who was ehe victim of the tragic shooting case of Christmas morning. The. investigation was opened in Elliott's hall, a building capable of seating comfortably probably 200, but into which nearly double that number were crowded. Isaac Davis, his wife and daugh- ters, all dressed in deep mourning, were there, and set near the front. Emma, Davis, sister of the deo:leaned, was the firsb witness called. She was in the room when Minnie was ehob. The de- ceased was sitting in a small eocking-ohair, with her feet on the stove, reading, on Christmas morning, about half-pesb 11. BerthaRobbie Archie and Sarah Jane Were also in the room. Pat (maiming Fen- ton) mune in with a rifle over his shoulder. He walked up behind Minnie, pub the gun over his knee, pointed it towards the ceilittg, and afterwards put it on the back of Minnie's chair. Witness said to him, "Bo careful." Fenton made no reply, and a mond later she heard the report. After the shob was fired Minnie jumped up, threw her arms around Pat's neck, and said, "Oh, Pat, you've shot me 1" When Fenton first came into the room he was humming to himself. Did not hear him singing at all. When Minnie said, " Oh, Pat, you've shot me:!" the prisoner said, "Nevar, Minnie," and laid her on the Befit. Minnie said no more and Pat ran to Kirk - ham's to send for a doctor. Fenton returned from Dr. McDermott's an hour later, but witnees heard nothing more from either Pat or Minnie before the latter. died. Her sister lived 24 hours, and was quite consci- ous. ANOTHER SISTER'S EVIDENCE.1 The next witness was Esther Davis, a bright young woman of 17 years. She was nob present when the shot was fired, but came into the room while Minnie was lying on the sofa. That afternoon Minnie, while in bed, asked witness if Pat was in the house. Witness answered in the affirmative, and asked if she would like to see him. "She said, "Toll him to come hero; I want to speak to him." Witness told Pat, but the latter said he didn't want to come. Minnie again said, emphatically, "Tell him to come here." Witness' sister told Pat again to go and not excite Minnie. Fentonwent into the room, and Minnie, looking closely at him, said, "Pat, did you do it on purpose ?" "Oh, Minnie," replied Pat. Then deceased said, "Very well thee I forgive you." That was all wetness heard either say. On Wednesday she saw Fenton at Kirkham', and he, put up his hands, saying, "Oh, Esther,' do you think I shot Minnie on purpose?' Witness replied, "1 don't know, Pat, but it looks suspicious." Pris- oner was crying. THE pAvBER's EvxDENOE. Isaac Davis, father of the decanted, swore that one of his girls told him on Christmas morning that there was a dog in the yard to be shot. He asked Pat to load his rifle, which was done, bub the dog was too far away. Witness went to Port Union after that, and when told of the shooting thought it was an accident. When he saw Pat he said, " This is an awful job," and Fenton replied, "It is." Mr. Chisholm was the first to suggest arresting Fenton. THE MOTHER'S STORY. Mrs. Davis'who was next examined, saw Fenton in the kitchen about twenty minutes before the shooting. She knew nothing about the affair until Emma ran oub and said, "Mother, Pat has shot Minnie." Witness ran in and found Min- nie with her arms around Pat's neck and his around her waist. Minnie said, Oh, Pat, you've shot mol" Pat replied "Never I" and then Minnie asked, "What, did I ever do that you should shoot me ? " Fenton mede no reply, but laid deceased on the sofa. Witness heard no sioging that morning and never heard of Pat and Minnie being at the Clyde Hotel. ENGAGED TO THE PRISONER. The evidence of the next witness was hugely intereating, and created a sensation even among her own family. It was Sarah Jane Davis, sister e. the deceased, the young woman whosenamewas associated with that of the prisoner some time ago. Q.—Have you any particular liking for the prisoner? A.—(after prolonged hesita- tion)—Yes, I always liked, him; he was always the same. - Q.—Now, this may be an embarrassing question, but in justice to my client I must ask you if you were ever engaged' to be married to him? This was evidently a great surprise to the spectators, who leaned as far forward as possible and listened almost breathlessly. The young lady became nervous and did not speak for fully a minute. The prisoner's lawyer repeated the question, and after further waiting Miss Davis answered, " That's a pretty hard question." Q. —I know it is, but you must answer it A.—Well, we had spoken about it. Q.—Now, as a matter of fact, where you not engaged to marry him when your sister was shot? A.—Yes, we were. Q.—Was there any token given to bind the bargain, such as a ring? A.—Yes, he gave me a ring on Christmas. Q —Was there any understanding as to when you were to be married ? A.—Yes, in time to come, if things went along all right, we were to he married. Q.—Did Minnie know of the engagement? A.—No, she didn't. Q.—Did any of your family know of ib ? A.—No, none of them knew anything about it. Q.—Now, about that ring, it ons to seal your enga.sement, and show that you +ism° both na geed faith ? A.—Yee, it was an en,gageinent ting, and a sort of Christmas box. Volt4'G BENNETT TALKS.

DAD A eeennee Sarah Jane Davis, recalled, teetified that Minnie had often told her that he had a eeoret, and seid one night after they went to bed, °0 I know eomeeiag that none of you know or over will know." Minnie had tint spoken of this secret about four mouths ago, but declined to reveal it. Emma Davis had also been told byMinnie that she had a secret, but the latter would never explain whet it was. ainn veasonen. They were out from 7 o'clock until after 9, when the following verdict was reburned : " We, the jury duly sworn, find that Petrick Fenton, on the 26th deer of De cember, in the year of our Lord. 1892, at the township of Scseboroe in the county of York, did feloniously and unlawfully kill and slay one Minnie Devitt against the peace of our sovereign lady the Queen." The priaonor was taken back late at night to the county jail, where he will probably remain until the opening of the assize court on January 4th. Detective Greer, who has the case in hand for the crown, has been hero for a couple of days looking up the evidence, and it is possible that before the trial comes on there will be some new develop- ments conceruing the packing of the girl's trunk and valise, her seoret, and other matters which at present .seem mys- terious. HIS APPREHIENSION. He Wilfully Permitted the Prized Servant Girl to Elope. He was carefully shaving around the wart on his neck as the warm sunlight of the autumn morn streamed through the win- dow, when his wife rushed excitedly into the apartment. She was striking rather than handsome, arrayed in a flowing morning gown with a rent in the beak. Her eyes were staring wildly and her face was pale. "John—" A responsive thrill passed through his frame. "—she's gone." He turned quickly. Forebodings filled his breast and his lips turned ghastly white. "The hired girl, John, that ungrateful—" Her voice was getting beyond her con- trol. "wretch that we paid a month in ad- vance." Struggling for breath he sank upon the trunk and groaned. "Mary," he gasped, clutching con- vulsively at his throat, as if to assist his lebored respiration, "the girPs eloped." She glared at him ferociously. "How do you know ? " she demanded. "Heard her leave the house by a rope ladder and fall into a man's arms outside." "And why—" She was almost shrieking. " —didn't you stop her?" (Mary" The solemn sadness of his look was touch- ing.

A Cairo cable says: The body of der- vishes which recently attacked Gernai near Wady Haifa was overtaken near AnitYgot yesterday by a detachment of Egyptian cavalry and a fierce battle en- sued. The dervishes, who greatly outnum- bered the Egyptians, made several furious onslaughts on the fovernment troops but were finally repulsed with heavy loss. Many dervishes were slain. Captain Pyne, of the British staff, and 45 Egyptians, including an officer, were killed, and many others were wounded. A detachment of Egyptian cavalry with British officers has arrived at Anibigot since the battle took place, and further reinforcements have been despatched to the scene of the conflict.

A number of these important vegetables were stationed near the chrysanthemunas in the drill hall, Westminster, and some of the pointed headed kind were really far finer in form than the enormous flat, heavy, moplike chrysanthemums near. It is nearly time that people who have to pay for the growth of such things should let growers know that there is such a thing as beauty and variety of form, and that it is even possible to make flowers agly.*London Field.

Moonlizbtera Terrorize a County Glare Magistrate's Family, rAnivraurEs ON A WEIEVAING TOM A Dublin cable Bays : Another outrage by Moonlighters is reported from Tullah, a small town in County Clare. On Saturday night a band of Moonlighters, who had a grudge against a man employed as a servant by the family of the late Judge Browne, visited the residence of the Brownell which is situated a short distance from the town. One of the band, who was in disguise, entered the house and demanded to know the whereabouts oi the manservant. The man was absent, and the only occupants of the house were the daughters of the de., ceased magistrate. They informed the Moonlighter that the man was not in the house. This information seemed to enrage the Moonlighter, who drew a revolver and fired upon one of the girls. Fortunately his aim was bad and the bullet wenb wide of its mark. He then amused himself by firing at random about the room until his weapon was empty, when the Moonlighters with- drew without making any further trouble. The Misses Browne notified the authorities of the affair, but as yet no arrests have been made. A perty of Parnellites at Kilruah, who were celebrating the New Year last night, became imbued with bitter political ani- mosity after they had Riled themselves with Irish whiskey, and determined to wreak vengeance on their political enemies, and Anti-Parnellites. They marched in a body to the rooms occupied by the Workmen's Club, and made an attack with donee upon the building, smashing all the windows and doing other damage. The mob gained fresh accessions while this attack was going on, and when a proposal was made to attack Temperance Hall, it was received with shouts of approval. In a short time the latter building was in as bad a state of wreck as the Workmen's Club. The police were absent, and the fact that no opposition was offered to their rowdyism encouraged the mob, who attacked the residences of .the town commissioners, who are supporters of Mr. Timothy Healy, and the houses of other men who have been aotive opponents of the Parnellites. Considerable damage was done. Towards morning the mob dispersed. To -day a number of the rioters were arrested. THOSE FATEFIJE WORDS. It Was a Very Simple Ruse, but It Caught Itt happened two nights ago, about 11 p. m. The reader will please bear in mind in this connection that the present month is December, and it is the last in leap year. The young man had been coming to see her with earnest and serious regularity for several months. He had enjoyed it immensely, for no man does that sort of thing union he likes it. Yet he had said nothing, at least nothing that was anything to speak of. By the way, that is one of the peculiarities of nothing. The girl knew that it was a long, long time before another leap year was due, and she knew the young man was one of that kind who needs encouragement. So on this fateful night she had the trig- ger set. However willing he might have been, he was unsuspicious. He trusted her fully. Men always do that. "Harry," she said, at the proper time, "do you know French at all 7» "A little," he responded,. modestly. " Well, what does ije easme' mean ?" Harry knew that, for it is such a simple little harmless phrase, and his face lit up with a flash of knowlege. " I love you," he said, promptly. She blushed as red as a yesterday's news- paper and hid her face. "Oh, Harry," she murmured, and Harry knew that he was a goner.—Detroit Free Press. THIS JAN COVED SHOOT. Russian Count Killed in a Duel wine a Yankee. The name of the American who killed Count Peter Romanoff in the duel at Monte Carlo was Jay Brockton, and he was not from Brooklyn. The two men fought in the grounds of a private villa, and evidently meant a duel to the death. The conditions were 25 paces, with liberty to advance to within two paces of each other, and to keep on firing until one or the othor should fall. Both the American and the Russian came calmly to the mark, and on the word being given they fired with deadly intent, at the same time starting to advanee. Thesecond bullet from 13rockton's pistol struck Roman - off just above the heart. The Count reeled and fell, and in a few moments expired. Considerable mystery elide as to the iden- tity of Count Peter Ronianoff. His name, real or assumed, suggested some connection with the royal family of Russia. It is sug- gested that Count Peter Romanoff may or may not be the travelling incognito of the Grand Duke Peter Nicolaevitch, who is the second son of the late Grand Duke Nicolai Nicolaevitch, who was the Czar's uncle.

THE FIRE FIEND SETS TO WORK. The explosion was so terrific that nearly every building on Jackson avenue, from Fifth street to Borden avenue, was either destroyed or badly damsged. The struc- tures include the post -office and Sylvester & Co's. factory. A fire immediately started in the debris and is now burning. At 9 o'clock nine bodied were reported to have been taken froui the shaft. 10 a. m.—So far as leairted three persons were killed outright by the dynamite ex- plosion. They were Mary Graden, aged 19, of No. 27 Jackson avenue; Mrs. Roceri, wife of Peter Roceri, a barber of No. 27,. Jackson avenue; Henry O'Brien, clerk, of No. 25 Jackson avenue. Among the injured are 'William Stepp, of Green Point, and John Palmer, of Wil. liamsburg, both of whom were at work in Gray's refrigerator factory opposite where the explosion took place; Minnie Davren, aged 19 ; John Davren, a reporter; Mrs. Maher and John Maher, all of Jackson avenue; Patrick McEntee, a foreman employed on the tun- nel, was terribly injured and will probably die. Davren's flats will be totally destroyed. The fire is still burning. A workman says two barrels of dynamite was taken from the storehouse on the Meadows to the lob on Fourth street, where the tunnel shaft is situated, and a number of men were thaw- ing it outwhen the explosion occurred. The damage is estimated at $50,000. Those in the vicinity at the time of the explosion say that the shock which followed was like an earthquake. The tenements Nos. 21 to 29 Jackson avenue were shat- tered, with the stores and offices below. poet -office was in No. 27. The three persons killed were all in their homes, which were contiguous to the scene the explosion. O'Brien, one of the milled, bad his throat cut from ear to ear, his face was badly mutilated by flying glass. He was lying on a sofa when the xplosion took place. A pane of glass was mashed directly over his heed, and a large piece acted as a guillotine. A great deal of dynamite is need in blast- ing. Last night the dynamite froze. The e men needed some this morning and placed ` slues barrels of cartridges just back of the tenements to be thawed out. Then they built a bonfire beside the cartridges.
