Miss Johnson Docs Royal Work forFuture American. Housekeepers at the Pure Kood Exposition. The cookiDg exhibit of eighth grade girls of Force and Aadison schools, under the direc tion of Miss Jacobs, at the puro food exhibit yesterday afternoon was well attended, and worthy of tho praise given it. Theyoung girls looked quite business-like in their white aprons and deep cuffs as they pre pared oysters, free soup, and made potato croquettes. The lesson was simply a sample of those given twice each week in the publlo schools of the city, the pupils being taught how to do all kinds of home cooking, the building of Ares, and the care of dishes. Miss Johnson attended tho exhibit and was much interested. Her dearest hobby is that all tho girls in tho United States shall learn, in some school, how to cook.

NOBLE WORK ILLUSTRATED. Case of the Hebrew Shoemaker Arrested As an Unlicensed Junk Dealer. An illustration of tho splendid work being accomplished in this city by tho Associated Hebrew Charities was brought out during a trial in the police court yesterday. Hyman Lewis, an aged Hebrew shoemaker and cob bler, was charged with being an unlicensed junk dealer by License Officer Melton. Lewis has a shop on Four-and-a-half street southwest, and the law officers claimed that he bought old shoes, and after repairing them offered them for sale at his place of business. Hon. Simon Wolf appeared in tho case and stated that ho represented tho Associated Hebrew Charities of the District. ''We are trying," ho said, '"to help our co religionists in their efforts to mako an honest livelihood, and tho defendant is one of those we havo been helping. "Tho old shoes Lewis has been mending and selling were given to him through the instru mentality of our association. He did not buy them, nnd when ho made inquiry at tho Dis trict building about a license ho was informed that ho did not require one. The Hebrew as sociation would not permit one of its proteges to violate tho law. and wo will tako out a license for him, it that will satisfy the court." Judge Kimball agreed to this; but, as a mut ter of record, imposed a fine of $25. to bo sus pended when a license dating back to April was brought into court. Buyinc Apples in Maine. "The apple buyers have to be fellows who can sco through a millstone," snys one of tho Maine fraternity. "We do not often get taken in. for there's a sort of mental telegraphy that tells us when to investigate and that's what I mean by 'seeing through a millstone.' I was taken in once, though, by a man who brought seventeen barrels u dozen miles and looked mo cMmly in the eyes as he assured mo quietly they were all Al in size and quality. I looked one barrel all through and as thoy were all right, my mental alarm bell remained quiet. So I paid him a first-class price and he went off with his money. Jn less than ten minutes, having occasion to move one of tho other barrels, a loose heading dropped out and tho contents rolled upon the Uoor, dis playing as mean a piece of deaconing as it was ever my lot to see. Thero were good ap ples at the ends, but the middle part was good for nothing. I examined the other barrels aud found every one, excoptthat I looked through at first, a rink fraud. I went for the seller be fore he had time to leave the town and mndo him pay back the money and tnko his ,apples home with him. You can bet I notified all fhe other buyers in that pari of Maine and now that man enn't soil a peck of potatoes without its being well looked over before hand." Lewiston Journal.

Judge VkL BLATZ BEER.- FIN DE SIECLE FEMININITY Colonial Dames Enlarge the Admission Into Their Association. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE ACTION Daughters of the Revolution Have Made Arrangements for tho Meeting of tho National Congress in "Washington Organ ization of the Excelsior litorary Club. Colonial Dames held an oxocutivo session on Wednesday and Thursday in the lecture room of the Washington Club. Mrs. Howard Townsond, of New York, chairman of the national executivo board, presided. Tho executivo board was called to tako action upon tho advisability of admitting to tho national association associations formed in States other than tho original colonies. Tho constitution of tho Colonial Dames limits tho representation in tho national council to associations formed in the colonial States, but admits to me inberehlp all womou who can prove their lineal descent from tho colonists. Auxiliary associations have been formed in many States notably in tho west ern soction of the country; and so urgent has tho demand for admittance become of late that it was found imperative to settle the question definitely. After long and careful debato upon the sub ject the executivo board resolved to allow lineal descendants of colonists resident in tho Western States to enjoy tho privilege of mem bership through the assoclaiibn of tho colony from which tho applicant claims hor ancestral descent. This is tho most tho board felt qualified to do. as further extension of tho voting privilege to members of States not colonial would necessitate a change of con stitution. Tho national association meets in this city in 1896, when moro definite results may be obtained. Pennsylvania reporting 270 nnd Maryland 2G0 members lead the colonies as to member ship. The total membership is about 1,500. Among tho delegates in attenjanco were Mrs. W. B. Beed, of Baltimoro, secretary of the national board; Mrs. Howard Townsond and Mrs. W, B.

Sinco tho opening of the present season a half hour is devoted, at each afternoon se3 sionf to parliamentary drill.
