Goodies for Christmas.
'ruil Cnlic lo iiotiKliOm lliilciirr.
For fruit cako enough to"do the
family any reasonable family for
Christina and Now Ynar'a Day, theso
things arc necessary Two pounds
currants, three pounds raisinB, ono
pouud cition, ouc pound candied
orango and lutnon pcol, ouc pound
figs, ono pound almonds, two pounds
flour, one pound butter, two pounds
of tho darkest brown sugar you can
get, eightoon ctrg, ono ounco ground
cloven, ono ouncu ground cinnamon,
ono out ce allspice, two nutmegs
grated, one fourth pint ot brandy.
Prepare the fruit tho day before
This simplo command is apt to
"stump" tho oxperimenter so this is
how it's dono. First of all tumblo the
currants into a panful of topid water,
stir them around a bit and lift out
with tho hands, letting the water
drain off them as you do. Repeat
this two or three times, then spread
them on a clean tea towel, as coarso a
ono as you have, roll them up in it
and rub them well to dry them and
to get the little stems oil. Tho stems
will stick to tho towol and tho use of
two or three towels in this way will
make tho currants perfectly olean.
Spread them on a platter and set
abide until the morrow.
Stone tho laieins. This is made
easy by letting thorn stand in nearly
boiling water for a minute A small
sharp knife, a touoh of butter on the
fingers or olso a bowl of warm water
to dip them in, and tho seeds are
easily removed. Tear them in half
as you seed them.
Shred the citron quito lino and out
up the figs io small bits.
Chop tho orange and lemon peel
very small.
Blanch tho almonds and cut them
in quarters. Thoy aro blanched
pouring boiling water over them, I
ting them stand in it a few minu ot"
and then popping them out of ttos,
skins. heir
Tho raisitie, orange peel, citron and
almonls should be pressed down in
n dish and the brandy poured ovor
thorn then closely covor with a plate.
Tho next day, whon the mixing and
tho baking aru to bo done, set the flour
on tho oven to brown, and as it
browns remove that dark enough
and sot tho rest baok until all is a light
brown.
Thoroughly rub together tho but
ter and sugar, with a wooden eponn
until creamy. Separate tho yolks and
whites of tho eggs, beat the yolks
until light and add to tho sugar and
butter. Then add half the
flour, next the spices, stir
ring well aftor each addition. Sift
tho otbtr half of tho flour over tho
fruit and add that, putting the Ggs
and almonds in first so that thoy will
bo well distributed, thon tho citron,
chopped peel, raisins and currants
alternately, a handful of each at a
time, and stirring industriously bo
tween handfuls.
Beat tho whites of the eggs to a
light not a stiff (roth and add last.
A good idea is to save out two or
three spoonfuls of tho batter before
tho fruit goes in, to spread over tho
cakes after thoy arc in tho pans, in
order to oover tho fruit and prevent it
burning.
Heavy pans that turn out a cako
with a hole in tho middlo, or earthen
baking dishes aro good to bako them
Tho oven must bo just hot enough
turn a pieoo of manilla paper palo
rown in a minuto. It requires threo
hours to bako a fruit cake thorough-
y ana me oven must be a
"slow" ono of oven tempora
, ture. After three hours open tho
doors and leave the cakes in tho oven
for half or throe quarters of an hour
longer to coo'c.
Now lor tho crowning touch. About
a week or five days before you aro
going to out tho cakes, got a quart
bottlo of ohampagoo domestic does
very well. Puncture tho cakos with a
knitting needlo or larding needlo
through and throngh in every direc
tion and pour the wine over thorn,
turning them in it until thoy drink up
every drop. Set them away again un
til tbo day before outtingj whon thoy
can bo iced if desired.

All thcro is of tho old hotel is the lo

first class hotel, so far as furnishing
is concerned. Tho new proprietors,
W. '. Boyle & Son, aro gonuiuo hotel
men with ripe experience in other
cities- Thoy aro also wholo soulcd,
genial gentlemen, intent on making
their guests happy at any cost. Tho
parlors and bedrooms aro elegantly
furnished in bright and eheorful colors,
and with overything now and bright
tho interior of the hotel is wholly con
ducive to comfort. But tho Now
McClellan is going to bo first-class in
its cuisine. The tablo has always
been tho winning card with Boylo &
Son, and the tablo menu of tho new
hotel will not bo surpassed by any
hotel in tho state. Tho first dinner
yesterday, whioh was partaken of by
about fifty guests, is highly spoken of.
Two of the finest cooks in tho west
cater to the palato.
Thore is room in Waco for a now
first-class hotel, and tho New Mo

Tho city woleomos Boyle & Son and
tho stato at large will give tho new
hotel a big patronage.

WACO, -:- -:- TEXAS,
THES. A. P. STRIKE.
Everything-Quiet and no Prospect
of Resumption of Trafllc.
The strike on the San Antonio and
Aransas Pass is unohanged today.
Two trains went out from San Anto
nio yestorday, ono to Kerrvillo and
ono to Corpus Christi. What became
of thorn is not known yet. Tho ac
tion of the mob at Argenta, Ark.,
was very encouraging to the strikers
tor they saw in this a sign of univer
ail sympathy.
Major Herbert always ready for a
joke was accosted this morning by a
man wno wanted to know when the
next Aransas train would start cut.
Major Herbert said he did know but
there was a man with a telasoopo
at the corner of Fourth and Austin,
who was trying to get a ocus on the
tirst moving train, and could probably
give him tho information. This
brought down the streot, and Superin
tendent F. E. Rogers, who was stand
ing near, hughed and pased on.
Tho telegram received yesterday
aftemoon, to the effect that tho re
ceivers were a holding a confer
ence at l oakum with the commit
tee representing tho strikers, waB
probably false, as it could not be
traced to a responsible sourco.
Four of tho alleged scabs, who bo
longed to tho car load stampeded at
Argo'ita, arrived at Taylor last night,
and learning tho situation there, took
tho Missouri, Kansas and Texas north
bound passenger and came up to
Waco. -They have no notion of tak
ing the places made vacant by the
strikers.
ON THE CARS.
A Waoo Young Lady Married On a
Train.
Last Wednesday, on tho arrival of
tho 4 p. m. express from Waoo at
Hempstead, Mr. Kd Carlton of Hous
ton arrived with a marriago license,
accompanied by a jnstioe of the peace,
boarded tho elegant ohair ear and in
five minutes was ioincd in holy wed
lock to Miss Minnie Scawell, ono of
Waco's most beautiful and accomp
lished young ladies. This romantic
nJarriage waa witnessed by at least
2oO people, and as tho "all aboard"
oall was heard, Mr. H. U. Seawell,
brother of tho bride, who had accom
panied hor from Waoo, stepped from
the train, and with tho multitude who
had gathered to catob a glimpse of the
young bride, bade them bn voyage
with all tho happiness and joys of
wedded lift.

The parents of Httlo Charley Holmes
missed tho boy about 5 o'clock ono
evening, but through tho renmrkablo
intelligence of a dog tho four-year-old
was returned to their arms a Httlo after
midnight.
Tho distracted parents reported tho
caso to Thomas II. Buttwcll, a special
policomnn, about 9 o'clock, and ho
made a close search of all tho alleys and
byways from AVashington to Market
streets, but nothing was seen of tho
little runaway.
Finally ho left matters to his dog
Glp, an animal that has a recordboth
as a detective and life saver. Tho
dog, after being shown soino clothes
worn by tho boy, bounded away in tho
darkness. Soon a sharp, joyous bark
from tho cauiuo announced a discov
ery, and Buttwoll hurried in the direc
tion, where ho found Qip with his
bead between tho wall of a building
nnd a big dry goods box on tho side
walk, wagging his tail vigorously.
Tho policeman turned tho light from
his bullsoyo on tho spot nnd found
tho lost boy sound asleep. He bad
wandered about for several hours, nnd,
tired and hungry, cried himself to
