SHE WAS DEAD IN LIFE. Why Mrs. Sorrich Never Talks of a Fu- | The Life and Training of Gen. Harri-| A neral in the Presence of a Corpse. One of the best known physicians of Indian- apolis, Dr. Culbertson, dead on the streets November 12. The fact that within three hours his body had been embalmed and prepared for burial has created some comment, beginning in a criticism by another doctor of sach hasty action on account of the danger of mistaking a trance for death. Singularly, just at this time Mrs. Sorrich, who lives in Jeffer- som county, Ohio, a few miles from Steuben- ville, is in Indianapolis on a visit, and her ex- perience lends point to the ee pap Hone ile sti fteen-year- pce pepe boar Heary Hall, ere troul th rriage begun by her pare etme come er this, together with Paraetady ‘at school, broke down her health, nervons prostration.

She failed to revive, ‘a doctor pronounced her dead. To prove it he cut into a vein on her arm and showed that no blood flowed. She was thereupon pre- for burial.

She shall not be bur- iea.” He insisted on having his own way, and was finally humored, although his idea was regard- ed only as the whim of a grief-stricken lad. When three days had d by and there were no signs of decomposition, it was decided that the matter ought to be investigated. Dr. Sid- dal, of Cambridge, Ohio; Dr. Gilligan, of Pitts- burg; Dr. Wm. Elder, of Wheeling, and Dr. J. M kelly and Dr. E.'B. Gost, of Warrenton, Ohio, came to the house and remained two days, applying all sorts of tests. They pro- nounced her certainly dead, and after nine days it was decided to go on with the funeral, Her brother still refused to consent to it, and seizing her in his arms, kissed her passionately, and declared that they should never bury her. In doing so he knocked off the ee that held her jaws closed, and as the lower jaw fell down he exclaimed that he saw her tongue move. j “I knew she was not dead,” he cried. “Sadie, what do you want?” she gasped faintly, and when it was brought ske drank a pint. Mrs. Sorrich says that during the trance she remained dimly conscious of everything that about her. Except when they were Eiking of burying her, she was in a restful, tranquil state, and perfectly contented. When they talked funeral it was as though she were im some dreadful nightmare, her inability to speak or move causing the most intense men- tal agony. “Bilnes then,” she says, “I have never talked of a funeral in the presence of a corpse.” A few months later she was sick for along i time, and at its end lay in a trance for eleven | days. Since then she has never hada recur- rence of anything like death in life. The Listening Barber. BROUGHT BACK TO BUSINESS BY AN INTEREST- ING MILLIONAIRE CUSTOMER. From the New York Sun. Millionaire A. R. Whitney is pretty widels known as the man who looks like Chauncey M. Depew, of whom he is a great admirer. He is also known as an enthusiastic republican. A couple of days ago he dropped into a chair in a down-town barber shop, and, in reply to a ques- tion of a friend, said: it went our way, and happy The barber began to scrape, while the friend kept on taiki confining himself ge: y te the possible condition of Mr. Whitney's poli- tical finances. While the barber reached for his brush Mr. Whitney got a chance to say that Frank Howe sent him a check for 3800 on the general re- sult. The barber suspended operations until he caught Mr. Whitney looking at him inquir. ingly. He seraped one side of the millionaire’s chin clean, and was about to begin on thi other side when Mr. Whitney remarked that he had just received a check from Stanton for 500. “On what?” inquired his friend. “I bet that Erhardt would come in second,” was the reply. The barber gazed at his customer admir- itigly and sighed. He began work 28 but he couldn't get those checks out.of his head. ides, he wanted more information, s0 he Went to one side to strop his razor. “Satisfied with this district, Whitney?” asked his friend. The barber went on stropping. ‘No,” said the millionaire. “I organized four clubs of my own down here, and had meet- ings every night. I —_ 2.500 votes, and we only got 1.900.

Great victory, though. Never had any doubts from the time that mes- was issued.” barber went on stropping. There was silence in the shop for a full_min- ute, except for the swishing sound made by the razor as it came in contact with the strop. Up and down, regular as pay day in the Sun went the razor. The millionaire stood itfor another minute. Then he suggested, “John, don't you think you'd better get another razor. The barber blushed and said, “Yes, sir,” and at once went to work on the starboard side of Mr. Whitney's chi ;batmith the same razor self-possession n completely stag: gered by his customer's political foresight. She Smoked too Many Cigarettes. PRETTY MRS. WALTER, OF CHICAGO, BECOMES INSANE FROM EXCESSIVE SMOKING. From the Chicago Times. When Mrs. Sarah Walter began, a couple of Years ago, to smoke cigarettes she was a fine, handsome woman of twenty-six, with a voluptu- ous figure and a fresh complexion that were the envy of her society friends. When Mrs. Sarah Walter was declared hope- leasly and incurably insane in the county court y her refined nature still asserted itself the innocent coquetry of fashionable attire, vat she was a mental and physical wreck, and both her husband and her brother testified that, in their opinion, the terrible change had been wrought by the excessive use of the sedactive little rolls of drugged tobacco and rice paper. The unfortunate ‘Toman’s feah and attractive complexion been to the hideous sallow usually observed in the opium-cater; were wild. with the pupils unusually her shrunken hands twitched nerv- ously, and with her long nails she had “bere she ing THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1888. ASKETCH OF MR. E. W. HALFORD. son’s New Private Secretary. Indianapolis Special to the New York Tribune. Elijah W. Halford, who has been appointed private secretary by President-elect Harrison, is a man in every way qualified by training, as- sociation and bent of mind to fill the place soon to be vacated by Daniel Lamont. It has almost passed into a proverb, during the incumbency of the discreet and indefatigable colonel, that alittle man makes the best private secretary. So far as stature goes the coming man is very nearly a counterpart of the retiring presiden- tial Pidus Achates. There is the same restless activity which marks the born managing editor. Although the faces differ, the rival secretaries might sustain the conception of “The Two Dromios,” with credit to the city of Alban and distinction to the city of Indianapolis, It isan — secret that Col. Lamont's fine knowl- | edge of men and measures, his intimate ac quaintance with stafe and national polities, and his almost feminine ability in dissecting human character and motives, have steered the un- wieldy and stubborn President through many breakers, and = him from desing kis head against many rocks, He is the first man who has elevated the presidential private secretary- ship to the dignity of a power, a power almost | equal to, if not in certain instances higher than, | that of a cabinet minister. President Cleveland might have survived without a cabinet. He could not have gotten along without Col. mon An easier task than that which fell ‘to the lot | of the clever little New Yorker awaits, no doubt, the ex-editor of the Indianapolis Journal. Gen. Harrison is a cool man, of clear and well- formed convictions. He juite as much backbone as the retiring head of the na- tion, but he carries better judgment whereby to keep it in place. He is a man of more in- tuitive refinement, and will attract rather than — the men of his ‘ty whose counsel is aluable and whose friendship is a precious gift, to be desired and cherished. He will hold to no dogma which has been proved to his logi- cal understanding to be fallacions. He will prove all oe: and hold fast to that which is | good. It will be his private secretary's pleas- | mg duty to act as adjutant-generai, and to jearry out the orders of his well-bal- | chief. To do so with judgment, with trained ity, and with faithfulness, no man in the United States is better qualified | than Mr. Halford. Brought up from boyhood in a newspaper office, and that office in In- | dianapolis, Mr. Halford has been trained to rapidity and exactness of action and to thor- | Oughness and finish in execution, He has ex- | hibited during his newspaper career a genius | for politics. “In every branch of newspaper work he has displayed remarkable powers of assimilation and adaptability. When, shortly after the great Chicag@ fire, Mr. Jonathan Y. Scammon made the dry bones jof the moribund Republican of that city live, and named it The Jnter-Ooean, Mr. E. W. | Halford was the man chosen to be its editor, ‘Yo be picked out from among many hundreds | of bright young journalists by a man of Mr. Scammond’s profound learning and unerring judgment was a high compliment, and Mr. Hal- ford showed himself in every way worthy of | the trust. Under his able management? the paper gained its feet, The time was not yet ripe for an organ of the tone assumed by The inter-Ocean, but Mr. Halford made its way straight. It was not then, aud never has been | until recently, a financial success, but it was in | many respects a better paper during Mr. Hal- | ford’s admin’ i it has ever been ‘ation th: since. Mr. Halford returned to his old posi- | tion in Indianapolis when Mr, Frank Palmer, | afterward postmaster of Chicago, who had purchased an interest in the concern. took | charge, and there he has remained ever since. The Indianapolis Journal has been noted under | his careful management for its fearless repub- | licanism, its honesty of purpose, its purity of | tone, and its admirable taste. It holds high rank as one of the best balanced papers in the country. Mr. Halford will bring to the performance of | his new duties the training of many years. He }isamen in the prime of life, his age being | Somewhere among the forties. He is a pillar | in the Methodist church, and a man noted for | his charitable and kindly disposition. His wife | is a great favorite in Indianapolis, She is a bright, cheery little woman, of winning man- ners and sunny di position." Her accomplish- ments are various, but her social fame princi- pally rests upon her musical attainments, which great. Altogether the President-elect is to | be congratulated upon having made an admir- | able choice in his appointment of Mr. Halford to the important office of private secretary. Mrs. Harrison’s Visit to Mrs. Grant. From the New York World. Mrs. Harrison, wife of the President-elect, is said to be expected here on or about the Ist of Deeomber to visit Mrs, Grant. She will be the first guest in the Grants’ new and hand- some home, built out of the proceeds of the general's book, and the visit is the fulfillment of a promise made even before Gen. Harrison was nominated. Mrs. Grant and the new “first lady of the land” are old and warm friends, it was — that when this new house was built she should be the first guest. Mrs. Sartoris will be her mother’s guest at the same time and will assist her in entertaining. acbrep = the Grants will entertain more luring this visit than they have done it any time since the general's death, and will possi ly give a reception, at which the great ik of this city may meet the new “Presi- dentess.” Mrs. Levi P. Morton is also hoping to entertain Mrs. Harrison, and has asked for the privilege of sharing her time in this city with the Grants. Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Morton have never met, but they have corre- sponded frequently and exchanged photo- graphs of themselves and of their husbands — the campaign.

Georgia Candidate Tells Why He Failed of Election. At the request of a number of representa- tives, the Hon. W. C. Winslow ¢elivered at the capitol last night a lecture on “The Idiosyn- crasies and Peculiarities of t!.e Average Geor- gia Legislator and the Uses and Abuses of the Present System of Electing the Judiciary, and Especially solicitor-Generais.” He began by saying there was a wide’ diference between Napoleon and himself. Napoleon had been de- scribed as being ‘grand, gloomy and pecu- liar.” “I,” said the speaker, “am neither grand nor peculiar—but I am vory, very gloomy.” [Laughter.] ‘What defeated me?” asked Mr. Winslow, solemnly. “After due consideration I am forced to the conclusion that it was want of votes.” (Laughter.] “But why did I lack votes?” He answered this question by telling an aneedote. Two fond ents in Iowa onve romised to take their little son carriaze riding. When the time arrived they shut the door upon the boy, jumped into the vehicle and were rapidly driven off. The little fellow rushed into the street crying asif his heart would break. Some men came along, and on seeing his distress said: “What is the matter, little fellow. We hope you are not hurt?” A “No,” said the boy, pointing at the flying carriage. ‘‘Iain’t hurt a bit—but yonder goes two of the grandest liars in the state of Iowa.” This sally simply convulsed the audiénce, Mr. Winslow then humorously described the “fellow that stuck to him. Weeks ago he had promised not only to vote for him, but to use | all of his influence to get him elected.” Two or three days before the election I met him and said: “Old fellow, you have not forgotten your promise? Of course you are going to support me.” The member grasped his but turned his face aside and whispere yes; I'm going to vote for you; but to be p fectly frank, Winslow, I will have to give Dilly Felton a complimentary vote on the first ballot, but on the second ballot I am your man.” “You wiil remember,” said the speaker, most seriously, ‘that there were only two running, and ‘ one ballot did the work.” [Great hter.] “When the winter throws its cold, white mantel over the earth, and the trees are stripped of the leaves, we know that spring, garlanded with flowers and breathing perfume, will come again tripping under asunlit canopy— but the heart that has been once betrayed will never trust again.” [Applanse.] The speaker then assailed the system of electing judges and solicitors, “Suppose,” said he, “that a man like the glorious and lamented Judge Lumpkin had been a candidate under this new system. Suppose he had been defeated by acombination. that splendid intel- lect would have passed under dim eclipse disas- trous twilight shedding.” He de bed the manner of electing judges and solicitors as a sort of three card monte trick, and said there | were members who, if necessary, would have traded their grandmothers and mothers-in-law for billy goats. This provoked uproarious ap- lause. The lecture fairly bristled with happy Bite Mr. Winslow concluded with two quota- tions from Shakespeare, “Gentlemen,” said he, ‘the time of life is short. To spend that shortness basely were too long did life but ride upon a dial’s point, still ending at the arrival of an hour.” “To thine own self be true, and it must fol- low. as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to any man.” [Applause eee McAuliffe will Fight Carney.

PROPOSED ANNUAL CONFERENCE OF CHIEFS OF ALL LABOR ORGANIZATIONS, At Saturday’s session of the Knightsof Labor general assembly General Worthy Foreman Morris L.

Then wash the skin of the turkey thoroughly in warm water in which a little soda has been dissolved. It is better to do this before the bird has been cut. The drumstick of-a turkey is greatly im- proved by removing the tendons, which always become hard and bony in baking. Cut care- fully through the skin below the leg-joint, but | do not cut the tendons; bend the leg at the cut by pressing it on the edge of the table, and | beak off the bone. ‘Then pull out the tendons. one at a time, with the fingers; or, all at once. by putting the foot of the fowl against the casing of a door that opens toward you, then pressing the door hard against the foot, and pulling on the leg. The tendons will come out attached to the foot, but if they are once cut they can never be removed. There is an ad- vantage in breaking the leg below instead of at the joint, as the ends of the bones afford more length for trussing, and, after roasting, this is easily broken off, leaving a clean, un- burned joint for the table. the skin back from | “Cut off the head, | Sli the neck and cut the neck off half way down, or close to the body if you prefer, but always | leave the skin longer than the neck, so it may | be folded over on the back.

Ifthe bird be not drawn at the market make acircular cut around the vent to free the end of the intestine. Cut out the oil bag in the tail. Make a horizontal incision through the skin one inch above the vent and wide enough to insert the two fingers, Keep the fingers close to the breast bone until youvan reach in beyond the gizzard and heart, and loosen the membranes on either side down | toward the back. Then draw out the whole mass, and afterward remove the lungs, which lie close to the ribs, and the soft brown kidneys found in the hollow of the back, SHOULD BE WASHED IN SODA WATER, “Wash the bird quickly in warm soda water and then in cold water and wipe dry. Wash- ing does not mean soaking in a pan of water, but a quick rubbing all over and rinsing. “Place the fowl in a deep bowl and put in the aiating at the end of the neck until the breast is filled round and plump. Draw the neck skin together at the end and sew it over on the back. Put the remainder of the stuffing into the body at the other opening. Use enough to fill in lightly. “The best and most wholesome stufiing is made by crumbling the soft inside of a loaf of stale bread, moisten the crumbs slightly with melted butter, and season with salt, pepper, and thyme. The steam from the fowl will far- nish sufficient moisture, and the stuffing will be light and delicate instead of soggy, rank, and heavy. “Draw the thighs close to the body and put a long skewer through the thigh into the body and ont through the opposite thigh. If the incision be made as directed, the ends of the drumsticks may be put through the opening | and out at the vent, and then fastened to the | tail with a skewer or with twine; but, if made in the usual way, cross the drumsticks over the tail. ‘Tarn the tips of the wings back and keep them in position close to the body (not up on | the breast) by running a skewer through om | wing, under the breast and out the other wing. Wind a string from the tail to the skewer in the thigh, then up the back to the one in the wing, across the back to the other wing, then do’ to the opposite thigh and tie firmly at the tail. with butter, salt and flour, Put it into a hot | oven for five minutes or until the flour begins to color; then reduce the heat and add a pint of water. Melt one-quarter cupful of butter in a cupful of hot water and baste with it often, | until some of the fat of the turkey has been | drawn out into the pan, or spread a piece of clean paper with soft butter and lay it over the urkey. When the paper is dry and brown lay on another piece, and when this is dry baste with the dripping and add more water as it boils away. ‘Baste often, and when ‘half’ done dredge again with flour, to give the outside a frothy appearance. Cook the turkey slowly after the first slight browning, and quicken the fire the last half hour if the bird be not suffi- ciently browned. An eight or ten pound tur- key will cook in two or three hours. It is done if the thigh seems tender when pierced with a small fork, and appears as if it would separate easily from the body, AFTER IT REACHES THE PAN. “Remove the turkey toa small pan and keep it warm while you make the gravy. Pour off nearly all the fat from the dripping pan. The water will be nearly if not wholly gone. Set the pan on the stove, and stir two’ tablespoon- fuls of dry flour into the fat. Scrape off all the brown fat that has adhered to the edges and add more flour till the fat is all absorbed. When the fat and flour are brown, and not until then, add gradually the boiling water. As it thickens, at first it will seem as if the fat and flour would separate, but continue to add boiling water; stir constantly and you will soon have a smooth, brown gravy, free from grease. Add more salt and strain it before serving. Heat the chopped giblets in a little of the water in which they were boiled, and add_half of the gravy. Serve the remainder of the gravy plain. “Slip off the thin membrane round the heart and cut out the veins and arteries. Remove the liver and cut off ull that looks green near the gall and bladder, being careful not to break it, Trim the fat and membranes from the gizzard; cut through the thick part, open it andremove the inner lining witout break- ing. Cut off all the white gristle, and use only the thick fleshy part. Rinse them all in cold water, then put them into fresh cold water and‘simmer until tender. The neck and tips of the wings are often cooked with the giblets.” Disappointed His Bride. NELLIE CALLAHAN, IN RETURN, DISAPPOINTS CARELESS MR, BABOOCK.

In all that relates to the composi- tion of @ first-class journal, devoted to news, busie ness, family and loca! affsirs, it takes rank with the very best in the world, and in the special qual ties named it is not surpassed by any. With le-t. Intelligent and impartial special correspond ents at all centers of interest, by the free use of the telegraph, and With te superior mechanical, facilities with which its office is equipped, it covers the whole field of news, and is able to presenta reflex of the entire civilized world each day up to the very moment gf going to press. In these re Spects THE Staxis absolutely without a rival, and fearlessly challenges comparison, within range of the territory it occupies. In its treatment of public affairs it is impartial and aims to be fair and just to all taithsand inter ests, and it is absolutely independent, in the highe est and broadest sense of the term. In the publ cation of news it records facts without bias oF color, and in the expression of editorial opinion it is as steady and firm in advocating and promoting only what it believes to be right, as it is persistent in condemning and opposing what it believes to be wrong. It is, in brief, wholly untrammeled by any other interest or consideration than that of serving the public, and securiug as far as possible the wel- fare of the family circle, and of society as a whole, With these general objects in view, what STAR specially concerns itself with, and that Which it gives its best eiJorts, may be briefly de scribed as THE INTERESTS OF WASHINGTON AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA. To these the paper has been unswervingly devoted sinee its present management assumed its direction, and this policy will characterize the future career f the paper as prominently as it has marked its past history, .

It follows, therefore, that as an ageut of publicity within the National Capital and com tiguous territory it has no rival. An announce: ment in ats columns practically meets all eyes, and, in proportion to the service it gives, its advertising Fates rank with the lowést in the country. Being low, they are rigidly adhered to. There only re- mains to be added on this head, as an indication Of the esteem in which the paper is held by the business public, which best understands its own interests in this respect, that, both in the number ot subscribers and of new advertisements printed, each year in the history of the paper shows a large increave over its predecessor. For example, during PUBLICATION, IX PROPORTION TO POPULATION. he first nine months of the present year the average daily circulation of the paper has been 26,651 copies, and the whole number of new advertisements printed 39,693, @gainst an average daily circulation of 25,427 copies and 38,594 new advertisements dur ing the corresponding period in 1887. In short, TUE STAR has never taken a backward step, and its conductors are determined that i mever shall *ake one.
