From the Philadelphia Times. John Chamberlin, the Brillat Savarin of our day, who was in Philadelphia last even- ing, was rejoicing over the fact that he had secured for Thanksgiving day presents a number of Rhode Island turkeys. When asked why he favored the big birds from the little down east state beyond all others, h2 answered: “I take some credit to my- self that I was one of the very first to rec- ognize the superior merits of the Rhode Island turkey, and to discover that he pos- sessed.rank above all his fellows for firm- ness and sweetness of fiesh and peculiar delicacy of flavor. Why he should be thus favored is a matter for discussion. It is not, however, fully explainable. His pro- genitors, I am reliably informed, were im- ported from England mare than one hun- dred years ago. Their pecullarity of plum- age gave them the name of bronze turkeys, and as the bronze turkey of Rhode Island they are known to epicures today in every part of the country. Due to Senator Anthony. “I am of the opinion that much of their privately popular vogue in the richer households of the country is due to the late Senator Anthony of Rhode Island. Every year he had fifty of the finest of these fowls sent to Washington from the state he represented, and both before Thanksgiving and Christmas days he dis- tributed them among his friends in the Senate and in the lower house of Congress, and, also, never forgetting the presidential mansion. When, however, he first began thfs annual distribution, the birds in many cases were simply looked upon as very fine specimens of their kind, and did not re- ceive any especial or careful treatment be- fore being placed on the table. I had the good fortune some years ago to put my teeth into one of these fowls, and it is no exaggeration to say that I was amazed at the story told to my palate. I will confess that I had then and do yet hold the ordi- nary turkey in considerable contempt on account of the dry and generally almost tasteless character of its flesh. But that Rhode Island bird was a revelation. I knew at once that I had made a gastro- nomic discovery, and from that day to this not only has no other kind of turkey en- tered my establishment, but I have even preached its charms both in and out of season. Many and many gastronomic sur- prises has it enabled me to give my friends. The Mystery of Its Flnvor. “One explanation given of the peculiar merit of the Rhode Island fowl is that the faims of that little state are small, and that more individual attention can be given to the birds than they obtain elsewhere. This may be true in part. Doubtless, some of the excellence of the fowl is due to the fact that some time before its killing, in- stead of being allowed to feed at large, it is fattened with chestnuts ground up with meat, and if it does not take kindly to this fodder force-balls are made of these ma- terials and crammed down the _ bird's throat, in much the same manner that the geese of Strasbourg are fattened, until they get enlargement of the liver. “But all this,"’ continues Chamberlin, “does not alter the fact that when a tur- key ceases to be of Rhode Island it loses the greatest part of its charm. They feed the fowls in Cornecticut in almost the same way, yet fail to producesthe same re- sults.” ——_____+-2+____ CUBAN SUCCESS REPORTED. Said to Have Defented Superior Num- bers of Spanish, A Cuban messenger, who arrived at the Cuban junta in New York last night, direct from the seat of the revolution, reports that on November 19 one of the largest battles that has been fought since the begitaing of the present trouble with Spain took place. ‘The battle occurred at Taguasco, a town in the interior of the island. The Spanish forces consisted of 10,000 imen, while the Cubans had but about 4,000. The Spantards were led by Generals Valdez, Lucque and Aldave, and General Maximo Gomez was at the head of the Cubans. The Cubans had a most favorab'e position. For thirty-six hours the opposing forces fought, but the Spaniards were unable to drive the Cubans back. ‘The latter, however, could do no more than hold their own. Finally, just at a critical moment, General Antonio Maceo of the Cuban army came rushing in with a force of 3,500 men. With the aid of this re-enforce- ment the Spantards were quickly routed. ‘The Cubans advanced then toward Trinidad and Cienfuegos. General Aldave is reported to have been Killed in the battle, and the total number of killed and wounded is placed at 600. Gen. Gomez secured 700 rifles and a large amount of ammunition. This is believed to be the largest battle of the revolution, larger than that of Bayamo several months ago. AS TO VENEZUEL Great Britnin Has Completed Her Re- ply to Secretary Olncy's Note.

VACATION ON THE FARM Most of the Police Court Prisoners Today Sentenced. Women More Plentiful in-the Pro- cession—Some Victims of Strong Drink. Last night's bad weather did not have the effect of keeping off the streets the tramps who annoy persons by asking for money with which to buy whisky or pay for a night’s lodging, but there was only one of them who managed to get in the hands of the police and reach the Police Court this morning. He was a young man whose name was given as Henry Jeffries. He is not yet twenty-one years old, and is a stranger in the city. “I'm guilty,” was his response to a charge of vasrancy. “Last night,” said the officer, “I found him begging from house to house in the Reighbothood of 20th and H streets.” “Vor what was he begging?" the court asked. “At one place,” answered the officer, “he asked « colored woman for something to eat" irty days.” Was Indignant. Theodore Scriven, a resident of this city, Was next in Ine, and he was indiguant at the idea of having been arrested. aithough he had been in the same position scores of times before. Drunk three times last week and once this week, was the record given. him by the police. “And,” said an officer, “he has only been out a few days.” “Do you want to say anything about your conduct?” the judge asked him. “Certainly, I want to say a word when I hear a man tell such a lie about me.” “What is it?” “In the first place,” he said, “I was drunk enly once last week and was drinking yes- terday.” “Mow long have you been out?” “Fifteen days.” ou may have ninety days,” said the court. “And it will be six months for you,” said the prisoner, shaking his hand at the officer. “Make it six months,” said the court, and Theodore will spend the entire winter sea- son on the farm. John James, a colored boy, who has the appearance of having just come in from the country, was arraigned as a vagrant, and he answered “Y-e-s.” What was he doing?” “Begging.” . “Thirty days.” Female Business. Sadie Herzog, a liltle woman who has figured m ccurt many times both before and after murriage, was in the little pro- cession of alleged vagrants and habituat @runkards, and she admitted that she was guilty of at least one provision of the va- grancy act. Judge Kimball sent her down to remain on the farm until four days before Ch mas. Two colored girls, Emma Jones and Mary Jenes, were in the procession as ¥ “They were on the street seid Policeman McDaniel: Oner of the girls charged that her com- panion had led her astray, and the case went over to hear from their par Julia Newman, a respectably di 1 wo- man from the “Di jon,” was in court as a vagrant because she failed to keep in her house when she solicited business. A_ plea of guilty was entered and Julla said she had not been in court on a simiiar charge for two years, and a sentence of sixty days was imposed. Eliza Harris, a stylishly dressed colored woman from the “Divisidn,” was in cour and Officer Kilmartin told the court th: she made a practice of stopping men on the street and robbing them. “How long since you were sent down?” the judge asked [liza after she had made a denial. “Not since last May,” she answered, Mes I've never been sent dgwn for steal- A sentence of thirty days was imposed.

Objection to Paying a Toll for Their Wagons. Some of the farmers who come to market complain of an order of the District Com- missioners requiring them to pay fifteen cents a load for the privilege of having hay wagons stand on the haymarket lot, after weighing, until the hay is sold. This the farmersthink a grievous tax, because they already pay to the District nearly $1,- 000 a year for welghing their hay. Mr. Ar- thur Stabler of Sandy Spring, Md., speak- ing to a Star.reporter of the matter, said: “Sureiy it does appear to us as reasonable that‘a farmer should be allowed the privi- lege of remaining on the lot adjoining the scales long enough to sell the hay without having to pey an additional fee for so ght a privilege. ‘In some cities, notably Philadelphia, the farmers have much better accommodations than they have here. We are credibly i formed that there they have a commodio: shed to drive their loads of hay and other biilky produce under, where they are pro- tected from sturms, and can remain over night without any charge being made ex- cept for we'ghing and measuring the loads.” Mr. Stabler has received from Dr. Tin- dall, secretary of the Commissioners, a communication showing the receipts of the District from the hay scales. The commu- nication says: “Referring to your conference with the Commissioners this morning relative to the amount paid to the District annually for the use of the hay scales, I have to reply that all the scales this year brought was $940.78, of which $810 was for the scale at the wholesale market. In 18M they brought $1, of which $s was for the scale at ine wholesale market. In is they brought $1,014.50, of which $0 was for the scale at the wholesale market. a Marringe Not a Succenn.

A report that the Anacostia Railway Com- pany will ask Congress to grant it authority to erect a trolley line from Anacostia to the corner of 3d street and Missouri avenue northwest has been put into circulation. Mr. John E. Herrell, president of the Na- tional Capital Bank, has been represented as the backer of the scheme. In conversation today with a Star reporter Mr. Herrell said the report had been brought to his attention, but that he desired to say that while he is to some extent financially interested in the road, he is not aware that the subject of changing the line from horse to electric power has ever been mentioned by any one in authority. Mr. Herrell sa:d that President Griswold told him Saturday last that he was going to Connecticut, where he now is, to spend a few days among his friends there and to procure some much-needed rest, but not one word was mentioned by either Mr. Griswold or himself as to a proposed change in the motive power of the Anacostia Railway Company. ——— A Benefit for Mrs. Waller.
