Chinese Import Delicacies of the Season for Winter Consumption. .. “Fresh eggs from China” is a con- spicuous sign posted at the windows of all the Chinese stores and restau- rants on Clark street, says the Chi- cago Chronicle. Only the Chinamen notice it, for it is posted in the 'queer characters of their language. They are delicacies that come to Chicago every fall from China. Not the least among thequeer things that are imported from the Celestial Kingdom are the fresh duck eggs. At least 30,000 of these have passed through the Custom House during the past two weeks. Each egg is wrapped in a mass of black mud that retains its puttylike consistency for months, even when exposed to the air. They come in boxes holding twenty-five dozen, which is ten. Everything that comes from China is purchased by tens. The eggs are as fresh as if laid yesterday. Peeling the coating from them, the faint blue tint of the shell is disclosed. CABINET POSSIBILITIES. Thomas. B. Reed Has Distinguished Him- self by Refusing a. Place. Naturally enough most Republicans look upon the Hon. Thomas B. Reed of Maine as a logical candidate for the Secretary of State portfolio in Mr. Mc- Kinley’s cabinet. Mr. Reed, however, grasped the dilemma firmly by the horns soon after election, and an- nounced himself as not an aspirant. He has been re—elected to Congress HON. THOMAS B. REED. and doubtless, will seek his old posi- tion as speaker of the House unless the counsel of others prevail and he enter the cabinet. President Harrison es- tablished the precedent of offering the secretaryship to his principal oppon— ent in the nominating convention, in selecting Mr. Blaine for the position. Mr. McKinley is likely to do the same thing. Ex-Speaker Reed is a big man in his party, and his aggressiveness, particularly in foreign affairs were he chosen to the cabinet would be in marked contrast to the policy of Presi- dent Cleveland's administration. VICTORIA’S ESCAPES. Seven Different Attempts Have Been Blade on the Queen's Life. A singular fact about Queen Victoria is that she has not only always en- joyed exceptionally good health, and that even at her present advanced age she is unusually strong and well, but that she has had more hairbreadth es- capes than any other sovereign in his- tory. No fewer than seven attempts have been made on her life, and there have been many occasions when the Queen has seemed to be face to face with death. Hyde Park was the scene of the first attempt on the Queen’s life, which was made by a youth of seventeen, who, on the 10th of July, 1840, fired at Her Majesty with a pistol. The Prince . Consort, to whom the Queen had been married a few months before, happily saw the youth in time to draw his wife down beside him, so that the ball passed over her head. Only two years had passed away be- fore the second attempt, when, almost on the same spot, a man named Fran- cis fired at the Queen as she was again driving with the Prince. The shot missed, and Francis was sen- tenced to death for high treason, the sentence being afterward commuted to transportation for life by desire of the' Queen. . Strangely enough, on the very day Her Majesty’s clemency became known, a hunchback named Bean, a mere youth, made another attempt to injure the Queen. He was transported for seven years. - A bricklayer was the next seeker af- ter notoriety. He fired at the Queen as she rode in her carriage, on July 9, 1849, but his pistol missed, and he was sentenced to seVen years’ trans- portation. ’ Less than a year after this, as Her Majesty was returning from a visit to rushed forward and struck her on the face with a small stick. The blow caused a wound, but the Queen was not seriously hurt. , It was 1872 before another attack was made. In the early part of that year a boy ran up to the Queen with a pistol and a petition. He was ar- rested before he could fire, however, and was declared insane. Ten years later a madman, named Robert Mac- lean, aimed a pistol and shot at the Queen as she entered her carriage at Windsor railway station. Coolness and presence of mind have. been characteristic’ of. her whenever danger has, threatened her. “Great events,” shc'has said, always make 1110 141111).” T HE E v EQNING. o AZE'rTn \ .the deathbed of her uncle, the Duke of - I Cambridge, an ex-captain of hussars- RUSSELL as THE BACK“ the Earl Pald 85,000 to Detectives Em- ployed to spy Upon His “life. LONDON Nov. Eli—At the Old Bailey today, Justiced-lawkins presiding, the trial of Lady Selina Scott, mother of the Count- ess Russell; John Cockerton, an engineer; Frederick Kast, a groom, and William Ay- lott, a valet, charged with criminal libel by Earl Russell, was resumed. Lady Scott, who was in court at an early hour, was smartly dressed and wore a long sable mantle. When she entered the prisoners’ dock her maid ostentatiously handed her a. bottle of smelling salts. The court was densely crowded, more interest apparently being taken in the case today than upon any of the previous days of taking testimony. The cross examination of Earl Russell was continued, the main' feature of the earlier part of the day’s proceedings being questions put‘to the witness regarding a Chinese servant. ' During these interrogations the earl ad- mitted that he spent $5,000 in employing detectives to watch his wife. The cross examination of Earl Russell also brought up the famous letter from Lady X——— which figured in the previous suit. This missive was read in court. It de- veloped that the author was Lady Cardi— gan. She said the Chinese servant “was cleverly reshippcd to China by the Hon. Lyulph Stanley.” When questioned in regard to Professor Bantayana of Harvard, Earl Russell said he had never heard of his having another name. The rest of Earl Russell’s evidence may be summed up in the statement that it was an emphatic denial of the charges made by the defendants. The case was then adjourned. Yale-Princeton Receipts. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—The profits on the Yale—Princeton game at Manhattan field last Saturday were $28,564.27. The money is divided evenly, except that Yale gets the odd cent.

The Gilson Mine Still Burning. PRICE, Utah, Nov. 27.—The Gilson As; phaltum mine at Port Duchesne is still burning fiercely.

An Earl Presumptive Married. VICTORIA, B. 0., Nov. 27.—The mar- riage was solemnized here today of Victor Stanley, heir presumptive to the earldom 01 Derby, and Anne, second daughter of Hon. 0. E.

Bryan’s Plurality In Texas, 200,000. - DALLAS, Nov. 27.—It is evident now that Texas at the election of Nov. 3 cast more than 550,000 votes, and that the pin- rality for Bryan and Sewall over McKinley and Hobart is at least 150,000. If the Bry- an and Watson vote is added, Bryan beats McKinley more than 200,000. \_.» .._.-. ~_._A.' ~— - Cr0ker to Return to Europe. NEW YORK, Nov. 27.—-Richa-rd Croker, after posting himself as to the condition of Tammany, has decided to go to Europe again early in January. He will remain there perhaps until next September. John C. Shcchan meanwhile will remain nom- inal leader of Tammany, and dissenting elements must come to terms or be thrown out. Efforts will be made to reorganize and harmonize Tammany and other Democrat- ic organizations here. - Fertilizer \Vorks Destroyed. LONG ISLAND CITY, Nov. 27.——Thc Pres- ton Fertilizer works, which covered more than a city block in the Blissville section, were completely destroyed by fire today. The fire originated in the boiler room. The buildings were mostly of wood, and the flames spread rapidly. Fire companies from all parts of the city responded, but were of little service, owing to the wide area. covered by the fire. The loss is placed at $200,000. End of a Long Trial.

BENEDICT A'RNOLD’S LO‘y’E. , Chief Justice Shippen and his. wife, Margaret Frances, had nine children, among them three daughters whose beauty and charms of mind and man- ner made them preeminent among the belles of the Revolutionary days. Elizabeth married Major Burd of the American army, Mary married Dr. William McIlvaine, and rMargaret, or “Peggy” Shippen became the wife of Gen. Benedict Arnold. Her story is a tragedy, this brilliant belle, courted by a throng of suitors, who was at the same time the darling of her household, and a tender and be- loved daughter. She was fascinated by the dashing officer who had re- turned from hard-fought fields, crip- the most distinguished leaders of the American army. Her family did not fancy the match, for Benedict Arnold was a man ‘of low birth and rough life. But he was a dashing soldier and a bold and ardent suitor. T This unfortunate marriage involved the character of the beautiful but unfortunate “Peggy” Shippen, but her family and several historians of re- pute have ably defended her, and have claimed that she knew nothing of her husband’s treason to his country. The balance of the testimony seems to be in her favor. It is certain that Gen- eral \Vashington believed in her, and it is not probable that she was in any way an accessory to the black career of Arnold when maddened by fancied neglect and insult on the part of his military superiors he sold his coun- try’s cause for money. "Peggy” Ship- pen was banished from the state of Pennsylvania, and lived the rest of her life in England with her husband.— Philadelphia Inquirer. RIGHT REV. HENRY B. WHIPPLE.

A Very Lucid Illustration of a Roman Boy’s Division. Johnny Blykins has been less success- ful than usual in his studies, and his father was trying to stimulate him to greater endeavor. “I can get along pretty well in most things,”«Johnny was saying, “but I can’t manage with grammar and with metic.” ' “Those are the two essential studies of modern times.” was the earnest re- ply. “A man nowadays must know how to talk for a? chance to make money; and he’s got to be mighty quick at figures to see that somebody isn’t holding back any when he gets his change.” “I guess I can pull through on gram- mar. But I’ve got so discouraged with arithmetic that I don’t feel like trying any more.” ' : “Don’t give up. Arithmetic is just as important as the other, if not more so. Be thankful the study isn’t any harder than it is. Think of the poor little Ro- man boys,” he went on, with a sudden inspiration. “Did they have to study hard?” ' “Study? Why those boys had to know Latin before they could under- stand the clown’s jokes at the circus. Let’s take an example,” he exclaimed; drawing a pencil and a piece of paper from his notebook. “We’ll work it art the Way a little Roman boy would have had to do. Suppose we want to di- vi .(5 .1 by or You could do that easily.
