m WACO DAILY NEWS, JANUARY 4 1892 Goodies for Ghristmas. rriiU Unite lo DclltMil ii l'.lcurc. For fruit oako enough lol'do the family any reasonable family for Christinas and Now Year's Day, these things are necessary: Two pounds currants, three pounds raisius, ono pound citron, one pound candied oranirc and lemon peel, one pound figs, one pound almonds, two pounds flour, one pound butter, two pounds of tho darkest brown sugar you can get, eighteen ceg, ono ounoo ground cloves, ono ounce ground cinnamon, ono out eo allspice, two nutmegs grated, one fourth pint of brandy. Pruparo tho fruit tho day beforo This simple command is apt to "stunni" tho oxperimonter so this is how it's done. First of all tumble tho currants into a panful oi tepid water, stir them around a bit and lilt out with the hands, letting the water dram off them as you do. ltepeat this two or throe times, then spread them on a uleau tea towel, as coarse a one as you havo, roll thorn up in it and rub them well to dry them and to ect the little storns oil. Tho stems will stick to tho towol and tho uso of two or three towels iu this way will make tho currants porfeotly clean Spread them on a plattor and set abide until tho morrow. Stone tho raisins. This is made easy by letting, thorn stand in nearly boiling water for a minute. A small pharp knife, a touch of butter on the fingers or olso a howl of warm water to dip ihem in, and tho seeds arc easily removed. Toar them in half as you seed them. Shred the citron quito fine and out up the figs in small bits. (Jhop tho orange and lemon peel Tory small. Blauoh tho almonds and cut them in quarters. They aro blanched Dy pouring oouinp water over mem, i tine thorn stand in it a few minu and then popping them out of t'e? skins. h0Ir The raisinp, orange peel, oitron au." almonds should be prossed down ,n a dish and the brandy poured ovcr thorn then closely cover with a plate. Tho next day, when the mixing and tho baking are to bo done, set tho flour on tho oven to brown, and as it browns remove that dark enough aud Bet the rest baok until all is a light brown. Thoroughly rub togethor the but ter and sugar, with a woodon spoon until creamy. Separate tho yolks and whites of tho eggs, beat tho yolks until light and add to tho sugar and butter. Then add half the flour, next tho spioos, stir ring well after each addition, Sift tho other half of the flour ovcr tho fruit and add that, putting the figs and almonds in first so that thoy will be well distributed, then tho citron, chopped peel, raisins and currants alternately, a handful of oach at a time, and stirring industriously bo tween handfuls. Beat the whites of the eggs to a light not a stiff froth and add last. A good idea ia to save out two or three spoonfuls of the batter beforo tho fruit goes in, to spread over tho cakes after they are in the pins, in order to oovcr the fruit and prevent it burning. Heavy pans that turn out a cako with a hole in tho middle, or carthon baking dishes aro pood to bake them Tho oven must be just hot enough turn a piece of mamlla paper pale rown in a minute. It lequiros three ' outs to bako a fruit cake thorough ly and the oven must be a "slow" ono of oven tempera ture. After throe hours opon tho doors and leave the cakes in the ovon for half or throe quarters of an hour longer to coo'c. Now for tli2 crowning touoh. About week or five days bofore you aro eoing to out tho oakes, got a (juart hottlo of champagne domostio does very well. Puooturo tho cakes with u knitting needle or larding needle through and through in cvory direc tion and pour the wine over them, turning them in it until they drink up ovcry drop. Set thein away again un til tho day before cutting, when thoy can he iced if desired. I I Fits & Co. 5J4, and 51 5, Austin utreetf Waco, Texas. SPOT GASH!

SENDING OUT AGENTS TO THE Coiiutiurciiil Comer In IMtcrt Froielit l'roin ttio A run mi I'ni A 'I'cht Ciino Where Hie Only Fed eration of Kmployco'N llxNta. Tho San Antonio and Aransas Pjss strike is probably the most importai t striko that has ever occurred on an) railroad. It derives its importanoo from tho fact that on no other road has the orders of railway operatives federated for their protection, Tho strikers maintain that it is a tost case and if it fails there is no uso for labor to organize. Tho conductors, engi neers, iircmon, brchkuun, switchmen and telegraph oporators each have their organization to promote their interests, and a few months ago all of those went into a federation to protect any ono of them against any imposi tion the railroad company might try to infliot. Tho telegraphers griovanco, based upon what they thought and alleged to bo an imposition, was tho first opportunity they had to test the federation. Taking this view of it aud one is forced to tho conclusion that tho struggle will be tho most in tetcsting ever known in tho history of strikes. Tho receivers seem hopeful, and claim that thoy will hive regular trains running in a fow days. The following notice appe.irs on the door of tho station in Waco, and it is presumed tho same is posted on all tho stations. "All parsons am hcroby notifisu tc keep off tho property of tho San An tonio and Aransas Pass Railway com pany's unless thero on business with the company, its agonts, or employes, and all pessons trespassing on property of the railway company, or who shall move or injure any :ailroad locorao tsvc, engine, tender, baggage, passen ger or freight car of said railway company, or ictcrfcro in any way with tho uso aud operation thorcof, withoat authority of tbo rcoeivcrs, their agents or ewplojcs, will be proseouted to tho full extant of the law. Geo. L Sands. Superintendent, Approved by Reoeivers Yoakum and MoNamara. Tho strikers rily on tho assistance of the labor organizations on the other roads and they assort that not a pound of freight from tho Aransas Pass will be touohed by the employes of the other roads if they scab that road. If thoir expectations aro rea lized tho fight will probably extend to all the other roads and ono of the most gigantio struggles betwoon a railroad management and the employe thereof will bo seon before a settle ment is reaohed. Receiver Yoakum, however, says there will bo no trouble of this sort, that the interstate commerce laws would provont any such complications and feels assured that if ho can got enough men to run the trains tho traffio will bo resumed and no furthei annoyanoo will bo felt The oitizenB of Yoakum hold a meeting Saturday and expressed sym pathy for tho strikers. Tho Printors Union of Waco met yesterday and passed resolutions expressing sym pathy for the men. Thus it seems that the fcoling is spreading and tho end is not yet. It will piobably be Eoveral weeks bt)foro tho train sorvioo will be rosumod on tho Waoo branch and it will probably bo weeks before freight will bo mov ed on any part of the lino. It is reported that the Federating board with headquarters at Yoakum will send, ex commeroial agents and local agents tu commeroial centers to divert all freight from the San Anto nio and Aransas Pass road. li you want iresh oysters sorved in a tempting manner, call at the Wo man's Exohango, 113 North Fourth strcot.
