IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 7, 1881 Fox-tail grass is so abundant on the fields this year that it excites remark. It appears to be unusually plentiful this year in other parts of the state. One (or rather two) of the incidents of the picnic at Santiago canyon on last Sunday, was the killing of a couple of rattlesnakes on the picnic grounds. The Riverside Press says: P. Ainsworth, of Orange, who had a box of raisins on exhibition last fall at Roe & Co.'s store netted $2.25 per box for this crop of that quality. The program for the next meeting of the A. O. U. W. is as follows: Reading, H. A. Stough; Declamation, Charles Hilmer; Reading, Dr. R. A. Fergusson; Song, B. F. Seibert. The 8 to 12 club will give a necktie and apron party on the evening of the 28th instant. The members of the club will please pay their dues to the Bank of Anaheim before the 20 instant. On Tuesday night of last week a man named Cummins fell from a wagon on Center street and the wheels passed over him breaking four of his ribs. His injuries were attended to by Dr. Fergusson. The trial of Miss Lastania Abarta for the murder of Chico Forster was finished on Saturday. The jury rendered a verdict of not guilty, after consulting about one hour. When they first retired they stood 2 for conviction and 10 for acquittal. The defense was insanity, and it was established by the evidence of medical experts.

When they first retired they stood 2 for conviction and 10 for acquittal. The defense was insanity, and it was established by the evidence of medical experts. Jesus Baliza, a Sonoranian woman, was committed to the Insane asylum yesterday by Judge Howard. Her insanity was caused by religious hallucination and physical changes. One form of imagination is that she claims to hold daily interviews with God, whom she describes as a handsome American. The devil, she says is of mixed origin, his mother having been an Italian and his father a Frenchman. During the past three years Los Angeles has sent 108 persons to the state prison. Of this number 42 were Mexican or Indian and two were Chinamen. Two were sentenced for life and the average sentence of the others was about two and a half years. The state supports constantly about 100 convicts from Los Angeles county and if this number about 5 belong to that part of the county south of new river—or, in other words, what will be Orange county. At the meeting of the Board of Town Trustees on Wednesday, Rev. Mr. Washbourne of Westminster informed the Board that permission had been granted him by the owners of the lot near the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets to erect a tent upon which to hold a series of revival meetings. He asked the sanction and countenance of the Trustees to the project which was given. The meetings will commence on the 27th inst., the tent to be used being now at Santa Barbara. The meetings will be conducted by ministers of several denominations and will continue as long as may be necessary. This is the first time we believe that an effort has been made to work up a religious revival in Anaheim. The people here are more indifferent than irrigilious and it would not be surprising to see as a result of the revivalists' labors a religious activity heretofore unknown in Anaheim.

The election for school trustees will be held on the first Saturday in June. The schools will close for the summer vacation on Friday, June 3rd. The newly elected Board of Town Trustees met on Monday in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 of the Charter and organized by electing Mr. B. Dreyfus president. On assuming the chair Mr. Dreyfus announced the appointment of the following standing committees: Ordinance committee—D. W. C. Cowan, F. A. Korn and D. W. Fish; Finance committee—F. A. Korn, D. E. Miles, B. Dreyfus, and D. W. C. Cowan. The board then adjourned until Wednesday at 4 p.m., when the regular monthly session was held. The committee on public improvements was instructed to investigate the alleged obstruction at the corner of Broadway and Palm streets. The special committee on the Broadway ditch recommended that the whole subject be indefinitely postponed. The recommendation was adopted by the board. The ordinance to establish the width of sidewalks and to encourage the planting of trees on the outer edge of such sidewalks was referred to the committee on ordinance for investigation. A numerously signed petition was presented, asking the board to erect a public watering trough, and suggesting the vacant lot near the corner of Los Angeles and Center streets as a suitable location, the owners having agreed to let the lot be used for that purpose. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements with power to take any action they might deem necessary. The board is unanimous in favor of the proposition, but they desire if possible to secure a small lot upon which to erect a drinking fountain that shall be ornamental as well as useful. Any citizen who desires to make a gift of a small piece of ground for this purpose should make it known to the board. It is understood that if a lot is given an effort will be made to raise by private subscription enough to buy a hansome iron fountain and watering trough. The County Division Committee has $35 on hand which they will allow to be used for this purpose. The Marshal submitted a statement showing the water rates amount to $56.25 per month.

Miss Melanie Cahen of Los Angeles was the guest this week of Miss Theresa Fay. A general meeting of the shareholders of the Anaheim Water company will be held at half past three this afternoon. Mrs. Henry Kuchel and young son and Miss Winifred Melrose have returned after a visit of a few weeks with relatives and friends in Phoenix. Clarence McFadden, son of Mrs. S. McFadden, and Miss Elizabeth Kammerer of Fullerton were married in that city and left immediately for San Diego to spend a short honeymoon. They will reside in Fullerton. Miss Bertha Bennerscheidt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Carl Bennerscheidt, of West Anaheim, breathed her last on Sunday after a fortnight's illness of pneumonia. She was in her twenty-sixth year. Her untimely death is deplored by a wide circle of relatives and friends. Tom Scott came in from Perris on Monday to report for duty with Company E at Oakland. Accompanied by Privates Hamm and Tetzlof, he took the afternoon train north. Sergeant Yungbluth returned from Oakland, Sunday. He reports the boys of Co. E all well. The regiment will probably be home by the end of the week.

Battling Nelson, this week, changed his training quarters from Fairview to Arcadia, and as a result his expected visit to this city on Monday evening did not eventuate. Nelson fights Herrera in Los Angeles on the 25th for the light weight championship. Frank Dyer informs us Nelson will probably win, although Herrera has a chance. If he lands his celebrated right to the jaw it will be all off with the Battler, so Frank says. The mill will doubtless call out a large delegation of Orange county sports, among whom Nelson seems to have created a good impression by his gentlemanly behavior. Miss Ella Rae entertained the Sidanian club at her home on Monday evening. When at 8 o'clock the young men arrived, each was asked to select a slip of paper with instructions to go on and do just what it said. A lively rush through the house and grounds where dozens of papers sent them looking to as many different places, to be at last rewarded by finding what every young bachelor is suppose to be looking for—a young lady. Decorations throughout the house and of the table and place cards were with flowers of purple and gold, the club colors. During supper the following toasts were proposed and responded to: Air Castles, Ruth Dutton; our Boys, Lulu Goble; Our hostess, Harold Pellegrin. The annual oratorical contest of Orange county high schools held at Orange on May 8. was the most successful meeting yet held. Four high schools were fully represented. The Freshman medal was won by Hazel Morrison of Orange, Edith Patton of Santa Ana and Ruby Pinkham of Anaheim tied for the sophomore prize, the judges finally breaking the tie by arbitrarily changing their markings. Susie Ott won the junior medal for Santa Ana with Mary Strain of Fullerton a close second, while Fayette Lewis of Anaheim won the unanimous decision for first place among the seniors, being 31 points ahead of his nearest competitor. The school medal went to Santa Ana upon 1066 points out of a possible 1200. Anaheim was represented by a delegation of twenty-nine at the afternoon program and forty-five in the evening. The directors of the Chamber of Commerce met in regular session on Monday evening. Present Messrs. Spake, Yungbluth, Boege, McCollum, Armstrong and Cailor. The California Historical society addressed a communication asking for advertising literature. It is ordered that a number of the city's pamphlets be forwarded to the society. J. T. Shea appeared before the Board and announced his intention of establishing a laundry in this city. He stated his undertaking would be a "hand" laundry to begin with, but a steam plant would be installed just so soon as business justifies it. Mr. Shea comes well recommended and will doubtless make a success of his business. Incidentally, in relating his Spanish sauce to make a dish that is delicious for breakfast, luncheon or dinner. There is nothing difficult about making the scrambled eggs. Break the eggs into a bowl and stir sufficiently to break the yolks and mix a little with the whites. Melt a tablespoon of butter in the pan and immediately pour in the eggs. Keep the heat low so that the butter will not turn dark and stir the eggs so that they will be smooth and creamy and evenly cooked. Turn on a warm platter when they are softly done throughout. In the meantime make the sauce as follows: Melt two tablespoons of butter in another pan. Put into the pan a tablespoon or more of coarsely chopped onion and a like amount of chopped sweet green pepper. Let them cook in the butter without actually browning and then add a cup and a half of canned tomatoes or the equivalent of ripe, juicy raw tomatoes, and cook gently until the vegetables are soft. Pour over the scrambled eggs just before the Spanish sauce and then pile on top the rest of the scrambled eggs. Macaroni Tomatoes Put alternative layers of boiled macaroni, mixed with a little butter, and stewed tomatoes in a baking dish. Sprinkle each layer of tomato with a little minced onion and add salt and pepper to taste. Have tomatoes on the Superfluous Hair Permanently Removed MRS. F. A.

Mr. Shea comes well recommended and will doubtless make a success of his business. Incidentally, in relating his search for a progressive town for business, Mr.-Shea remarked in all his travels he found none to compare with this city. He is a man of family and will make this his permanent home. The laundry committee directors Youngbluth and McCollum, who had been working in other channels for a laundry were discharged. In reference to the new library Secretary Boege reported that he had written Mr. Carnagie's secretary regarding the same but had received no response, having written twice. The directors are in hopes of receiving a favorable answer to their letter in the near future. The farmers' institute committee reported upon the success attending the recent meeting held here. Bills to the amount of $10 were ordered paid. Largely attended and instructive sessions of the Farmers' Institute were held in this city on Friday and Saturday. It was the first time local people had the opportunity to see Mr. Neff preside at an institute. Very flattering reports have come of his work at institute meetings throughout Southern California and he has been personally complimented by the University people for the success attending his efforts at these meetings. Anaheim adds its meed of praise to the other localities. The hall in the new Kroeger building had been tastily decorated for the occasion. The address of welcome was made by W. H. Spake. Response was made by Dr. Sherman of Fresno. Allan Knapp's paper "Growing Chili Peppers" was of great practical interest. Mrs. A. Basley spoke for an hour on poultry and George L. Wagner followed with one on potato culture. In the evening C. C. Chapman spoke on Orange growing for profit as well as pleasure and was listened to with close attention. James Mills of Riverside gave an address on cover crops and E. G. Ware of Garden Grove read an interesting paper upon walnut culture. Other interesting talks were made. During the evening the city band under the leadership of Prof. Walter Crowther discoursed music. Miss Edna Ames and a class of high school girls favored the audience with vocal selections. A committee consisting of Henry Kuchel, W. H. Spake and J. B. Rae drew up and formulated resolutions thanking J. B. Neff conductor, and his gathering of competent and enthusiastic instructors upon most important matters and for his own efficient share in their work. top, add a few fine bread crumbs, and cook slowly, until brown. Macaroni and Cheese on Toast Have ready a cup of macaroni that has been boiled in salted water and cut up rather fine. This means a cup after cooking, not before, and the pieces should be half an inch or more in length. Melt a tablespoon of butter in a skillet, and add one tablespoon of cornstarch and stir until well mixed. Add a quarter teaspoon of salt, a dash of cayenne pepper, and a quarter of a teaspoon of mustard. Into this sauce stir first macaroni, then a half pound of mild American cheese, grated. Stir and simmer gently until the cheese has melted, then turn the mixture out on triangles of toasted bread. Serve at once. With It Irish stew is best eaten with dumplings and boiled onions. Roast of beef can be accompanied by browned potatoes, string or buttered beans, or asparagus. Broiled beefsteak can be accompanied by mashed or scalloped potatoes, cauliflower or asparagus. French fried potatoes are also a proper accompaniment of broiled beefsteak. Boiled tongue is served with tomato sauce and spinach. Stuffed Potatoes Six large potatoes, one-half teaspoon parsley, one-half teaspoon onion, pepper, salt. Wash the potatoes well. Bake them. When done, scrape out the inside. Mash light. Add one teaspoon butter and a little hot milk, the parsley and onion, well chopped, pepper and salt. Mix well. Fill skins with mixture and brown in the oven. An oblong kitchen is considered preferable to a square one for saving space and consequently for reducing the necessary walking about. On the long sides opposite each other can be grouped most of the larger equipment in logical working sequence. The test for waste space in a floor plan is seeing whether the equipment can be packed into a smaller well-lighted area in the same relative positions, leaving room enough to work comfortably. Because of the slightly bitter taste to the first water is usually thrown away after the poke shoots have boiled a day minutes. Do not overcook them. Serve in any way asparagus as served. Make a rhubarb betty for dessert, just as you would make apple betty. Alternate buttered bread crumbs and fruit, with sugar to taste. You can use either stewed or unstewed rhubarb. If you use une cooked rhubarb, cover the taking dish for the first part of the cooking, then remove the lid and brown the top crumbs. Sift a little cinnamon or nutmeg over the top.
