ONE OF THE ALLEN "MOONSHINE" DISTILLERIES f ,Vi- Waft WILL TRY TO WIN BACK MOORS r 1 Si' suitor and at the same time firmly rejected the offer. Then someone whispered to the disappointed sultan that Mme. Dugast was brought up In a more conventional manner, and that European women were not accustomed to sharing their affections with a hundred or more other wives. Forthwith the sultan sought the handsome explorer and offered his hand an! heart, together with his title, and promised that he would dismiss bis harem and marry ber In the more conventional way, a la European mode. Mme. DugHst found it more difficult this time to refuse the proposal,, but managed to do so without giving offense and Jeopardising her life-work among the tribes. The sultan has given the fair stranger a partial respite, although he does not forget to send her an occasional Jeweled gift to keep himself fresh In her memory, but this Is not the least of Mme. Dugast's troubles. Swarthy-skinned chiefs rule over each of the tribes among whom she labors to teach the advan tagse of civilization. Each and every one of these chiefs has determined, apparently, that Mme. Dugast would make a most admirable addition to their miniature harems, and nave paid persistent court to her. Mme. Dugast Is one of the most Interesting women In all Europe. In addition to ber scientific work in Africa, much of which has been in the dark est Jungles of the "Continent of Mystery," she has gained considerable repu tation as an autolst She drove her car In one of the early grand prize races of France. She also has driven a motor boat In the big water speed contests at Monaco. In both of these events she escaped death by the merest fraction. Mme. Dugast never has driven an aeroplane, but she has made several voyages lu the clouds In a balloon. SECURES A STRENUOUS POST Ambassador Henry Lane Wilson ac cepted the post In Mexico City two years ago because be had become weary of the Inactivity at the Brus sels legation, where the only diplo matic excitement was the wearisome controversy over the ' Belgian atroci ties In the Congo. President Taft was anxious to bave blm accept one of the - European posts, as fortunately he is rich enough to pay the bills for bouse rent and hospitality which these ap pointments demand, but he chose Mexico City Just for the pleasure of downright hard work and hard fight ing. And he has certainly obtained It It would be difficult to overestimate the difficulties of his position. The In trigues and cabals against him bave been legion, and they bave been espe cially strong and bitter among bis own countrymen. Before Mr. Wilson left the Amer ican legation In Brussels for his ap pointment at Mexico City be was besieged by representatives of different American Interests in Mexico, who made overtures to bargain for his Influ ence In pushing their enterprises. His blocks of stock made out In his name, moters promptly sent them back, made It was not until the ambassador had that his vehement denunciation of these that be could not be Induced to work for them except In a legitimate way. And since that time his path has certainly been a thorny way. ROYAL ROMANCE IS BLIGHTED in consequence of this state of affairs, and was required, at the height of the court season, to abstain from further participation in 1L It was announced at the time that she was suffering from an "affection of the throat" As soon as the season ended the kaiser and 'kaiserin decided to send their daughter to 8t. Morltz with the crown prince and princess, In the hope that she would forget her troubles amid the Joys of the Swiss winter sports. This "cure" waa apparently not a complete success, because It was found de sirable that the princesa should not remain In Germany over the spring with the kaiserin, as originally planned, but should Instead sojourn on the Mediter ranean and at Corfu with the kaiser until the end of the season. The prlncoss has long been the subject of countless matrimonial rumors, but never before has so circumstantial an account of her own personal prefer ences come to light as the reported partiality for Count Fugger. MIGUEL TO FIGHT FOR MANUEL " The proposed movement to restore King Manuel of Portugal to the throne from which he was deposed by his people will be one of the most formidable ever prepared against an existing government, according to the man who expects to lead it, Dom Miguel of Braganxa. The former pretender, who haa en tered into an offensive and defensive agreement with Manuel, discussed his plans freely, the other day, only in sisting that such portions as might be of benefit to the Portuguese gov ernment be withheld. -" Dom Miguel prefaced his remarks by praising Americans he has met, pay'rg especial compliment to Mrs. J.

While ber task Is a stupendous one and fraught with many dangers from poisonous Insects and Jungle plagues, and Is forced to put up with many In conveniences, Mme. Dugast writes to a friend here that civilising savages Is mere child's play compared with the work of trying to ward oft pro posals from the marriageable tribe chiefs and even the sultan himself. The sultan Is one of Mme. Dugast's most consistent admirers and ever since she became interested in Moroc co he has paid persistent court to her.

The princess, who will be 20 years old next September, fell deeply in love during the recent court season, according to reports current In so ciety, with the hereditary Count Fug- ger, a . lieutenant In the elite gardes du corps at Potsdam and a descendant of an ancient Bavarian family, which 'was once the wealthiest in Europe. The affection was mutual, but It was necessary to represent to the princess that marriage was impose! ble, not only on account of the differ ence In the lovers' rank, but also be cause the Fuggers are devout Roman Catholics.

Ship Will Be 900 Feet Long Monster of the 8eae, With 60,000 Ton Ca pacity, to Have Many Lux urious Features. Berlin. Records for sise In the ocean steamship world are not held long nowadays. We find a new "Gol iath of the Ocean" of German con struction. The new ship now building for the Hamburg-American line Is to be called Imperator, and will be launched on the Elbe, Mr. Kerns tells us, In a few months "such a vessel," he says, "as hitherto man's eye has not beheld." The Imperator will have a gross tonnage of 60,000, outdoing the Olympic and Titantlc (45,324 and 45. 000). The length of the Imperator over all will be about 900 feet Says Mr. Kern, according to Land nnd Meer: "It would be Impossible for a man at the bow of the Imperator to recognize with the naked eye another standing In the stern. If we think of the Im perator set up on end beside the cathe dral of Cologne, the heavens reaching tower would come only to the second funnel of the steamship. To get a still better Idea of the site of the ves sel, it may be compared with one of the largest warehouses In the world the new store of Tiets on the Alexan derplats In Berlin, which, although for ty houses were demolished to make room for It, could be placed entirely Inside of the Imperator. The steam ship, when complete and fully laden, will displace 60,000 tons. The follow ing figures show how much larger she Is than the vessels which once held the world's record for alee: "The Deutschland, once the largest ship of the Hamburg-American line, which at the time she was built, and for ten years after, was one of the wonders of the world, displaced 6,600 tons; the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria, of the same line, 24.600 tons, and the giant of English ocean liners, the Mauritania, 32,000. Each of the fun nels of the Imperator will be so large that a steamer like those which ply on the river Spree could sail through It lengthwise. "The term 'floating hotel, often ap plied to euch ships when it Is desired to emphasize their bulk, would con vey, In the case of the Imperator, an Impression far short of the truth. For where in all the world la there a ho tel that can hold 6,000 .. persons at once? None exists of anywhere near such capacity. It Is the population f a small city. "One of the features of the Impera tor is entirely new and unprecedented. The first cabin passengers on this ship will have the use of a roomy swim ming pool In a beautiful . Pompeian hall. Near by is a suite of rooms for gymnastics." It will have a promenade deck near ly a quarter of a mile long, a great en tertainment hall two stories high, hold ing 700 guests, a conversation room, smoking room, a ladles' hall, a winter garden and a Rltx-Carlton restaurant, serving a la carte. It goes almost without saying that the Imperator will be driven by turbines. . What will be PRESS SCHOOL Policy of Pulitzer Branch of Colunv ". bla University Announced by Heads. ; New York.

PLAN NEW "ELECTRIC RAIL Railroads and 8teel Men Trying Hard to Find a Solution of Baffling Problem. New York. An open hearth steel rail finished by an electrical process being perfected by the United States Steel corporation Is the chief present hope of the steel makers and railroad men, who are looking for a solution of the baffling rail problem. In the mills the new rail is known as the "electric rail," and a statement by one of the railroad presidents who at tended the recent rail conference ex plains: ' "If this electrical process does not contain the secret, then we shall have to rely on a rail heavier than that we bave been using. We shall have to put in a hundred-pound rail at a cost of more than $30 ton. At the con ference with the steel men last week we demanded that more be cut off the ends of rails after they had been rolled and more cut oft the ends of the Ingots before they were rolled. The idea of this Is to prevent air boles and other defects. The steel men were averse to this unless we consented to pay more for the prod uct However, in the end they agreed to make a concession and to cut off a little more from the ends, although tbey declined to go as far as we asked at the present price, which we think ample. "Unless this electric rati solves the problem, my belief Is we shall bave to put In a heavier rail If we want It as hard as those now In use. If not, we shall have to use a softer one, which will wear out in half the time." Chokes Dog to Death. New York.

SOME GOOD SUBSTANTIAL DI8HE8 FOR THE FARM HOME. For the busy farmer's wife who haa much work and many mouths to feed dishes which may be prepared with the leaat outlay of time and money are wel comed by her. When a large family of hungry men and boys are to be fed there la no dish more filling; ind wholesome than: Potato Pot This Is an English dish and a great favorite across the water. Put equal parts of round steak and fresh lean pork, cut in serving pieces, into a frying pan and brown; dredge with flour and cover' with boiling water and simmer for an hour; add an onion, a carrot, and turn all into a baking dish, cover with quartered potatoes, add water and bake until the potatoes are brown. The amount of meat and vegetables used depends on the size of the family. Another dish wblcb Is new to Amer ica Is: .. . -' r Sausage With- Pudding. Take suffi cient pork sausage for the family to be served, place in a baking pan and cook in the oven until the fat has been well tried out; drain off all but two or three tablespoonfuls of the fat and pour over the sausage. ' . ; Yorkshire Pudding. Take two cup- fuls of milk and add gradually to two well beaten eggs. Mix with a cup of flour and a teaspoonful of salt Pour over the sausages and bake. If the sausages are cooked in a serving dish It may be carried to the table and served from it This Is a good dish to piece out with, when unexpected company arrives. Potato Doughnut Cream three ta blespoonfuls of butter, : add ' three fourths of a cup of sugar - and the yolks of three eggs beaten, then stir In a cup of freshly mashed potato and a fourth of a cup of milk. Add two and a half cups of flour, three tea- spoonfuls of baking powder, half a teaspoon of salt and ground mace and a fourth of a teaspoonful of- nutmeg. Roll out and fry In deep fat : A STUDY OF DE83ERT8. There are about seven types of des serts and all varieties come under one of the types. By changing the flavor one may have a variety of des serts with little study In preparation.

"It is wonderful," said a New York woman who haa been living abroad. "how much attention the Frenchwom en have come to pay of late to their footwear, their shoes and their stock lugs. The tight short skirt Is alto gether responsible. When the shoes were concealed It did not matter so much what a Frenchwoman had on her feet, and the shoes were alvars long and pointed. The advent of t fcob- ble skirt made feet look so awful over there that the French boo;:' v-t 11 11 varied by different flavors, browning the sugar makes a delicious flavoring, for a custard. Melt the sugar after browning by adding the silk; stir un til dissolved, then beat In the egga and put to bake in hot water. A! grating of nutmeg or vanilla Is good flavoring for a baked custard. Bread puddings are another typej and may be varied In flavor by the addition of fresh or dried fruit, spice or chocolate. The foundation for alt. such puddings Is the same: a pint ot milk, two eggs, m cup of bread cut la cubes and a half cup ot sugar. Stir occasionally while cooking, flavor with) chocolate, a square or two, and serve with cream. The steamed pudding Is another type. This may be a simple batter , and fresh fruits may be added In lay ers and steamed; If In cups fifteen to twenty minutes; If In a larger moldi the time for steaming will be longer. The sauce for a plain pudding with fresh fruit la always cream, but when spice, chocolate 'and other flavors are used the following sauce Is better: Taka two ri Hitinti thu whites from the yolka, and beat well. Add a fourth of a cup of sugar and vanilla to taste. Serve uncooked, mixing the whites lightly, not to lose the air beat en In. A dish of peaches or pears with bread and butter la a good dessert, but when one wants to piece out the can of peaches and make them aerve more, a dessert called Peach Snow drift may be served, which may be served with whipped cream and the Juice ot the peaches. Cook together a cup of milk, two tablespoonfuls of flour; cool and fold In the whltea of four eggs beaten stiff. Pour over peaches or pears and aerve from the dish.

OTHER TYPES OF DE8SERTS. Tbe baked fruit pudding Is another sort of dessert which, when warm, may be served with whipped cream. Date Pudding. Take a cup of dates cut In small pieces, a cup ot nut meats (hickory or walnuts), two eggs beaten, a half cup of sugar well mixed with a quarter of a cup of flour. Bake in a sheet twenty to thirty minutes. Cut In small squares and serve with whipped cream. This pudding may be kept for some time if carefully cov ered to keep moist, warmed before serving. It la too good to last for more than two meals. . . ... The souffle is another type of des sert which may be varied In ' many ways. Chocolate and fruit Juices may be used for flavoring. When choco late Is used in a souffle the sauce to serve Is cream, but a hard aauce of half cup of softened butter, a tea spoon of vanilla and a cup ot pow dered sugar makes a satisfactory sauce.. . For a plain souffle the proportions are a cup ot milk, fruit Juice could be used, a quarter of a cup of sugar, two eggs and a. third of a cup of flour. Cook the flour and milk until thick, cool and add the beaten yolks and the sugar; then fold In. the beaten whltea and bake in a buttered pan set Into hot water.. If chocolate is used, less of flour is needed for tbe thickening. The number of gelatin desserts la legion and may be molded, garnished and served In numberless ways. , Frozen dishes Is another type which never lose their charm, as there are none that take the place of the cool frozen desserts, especially In warm weather. Custards are another kind that Is universally liked, and they may be varied by different seasonings and flavors. The caramel Is perhaps tbe greatest favorite. Tbe foundation for all custards is a quart of milk, four eggs, a cup of sugar and ' flavoring. When half of tbe sugar is caramelized for flavor add a little more than half a cup for sweetening.
