Probability That Carpentor's Look out Will be Taken for a Park. The board of public works will hold a meeting to-night to consider the feasibility of condemning for park purposes the tri angular piece ot ground at the junction of Summit avenue and Kamsey street. The adjacent property-owners have petitioned for the improvement, as welt *3 a majority of the residents Of Woodland Park addi tion, in which the strip is situated. The location is shown below: A— Carpenter's Lookout house. U — M. AuertMch'a residence. A large number of the people of the Fourth ward look with favor upon the project, and all who were approached upon the subject gave an unqualified approval. From this spot a delightful view can be obtained— opposite the picturesque bluffs nt the South side; beneath, the section of the city built upon the plateau; while a Stretch of the river with its majestic sweep lends a charm which needs to bo seen to be fully appreciated. The portion intended to be condemned has a front on Summit ivenuo ot about 2!JO feet, about 285 feet along Ramsey street, and about 170 feet Across from Ramsey to Summit, on the line between the Lookout and Me. Auerbach's. Several of the wealthy property owners in the Immediate vicinity have expressed i, willingness to contribute toward se turing the property, and a large dele gation will, it is expected, be present at the t>od;ud meeting to-night to urge the plan. Individual members of the board are favor ably inclined and there is little doubt that the body will report favorably to the coun cil if a fair valuation can be fixed and the people in that section are willing to be as cessed to secure the purchase, It has been suggested to call the park Van Slyke Look nut, a compliment to the alderman of that name, to whoso untiring efforts much of the present beauty of the city is due in the way of parks. PATIIfO THE WAY. The Itascn Club Wants to Help the City Committee. The attendance at the meeting of the ltasca club last night was Jitrht and when President Davidson called the meeting to order lie looked down into a larsre number of vacant chairs. The calling of the roll i and reading of the minutes were suspended - and \Y. C. Severn introduced the following preamble and resolution which was adopted: Whereas, We believe the ltasca club as a political organization demands a more ag gressive policy to enhance its political Inter ests and carry out tho purposes for which it was organized, therefore be it Resolved, That the president be authorized to appoint a committee of seven to confer and co-operato with the* city committee of the Democratic party to place In nomination suitable candidates for election at the com ing' spring and full elections, also to secure proper representation upon Mm new city committee to be appointed, and transact euch other business as the committee shall deem advantageous to the welfare and suc cess of the club. The president appointed the following committee: W. 0. Severn, Chairman: George Mltsch, Dr. Snyder, Andrew Dela ney. i. J. McCalTerty, John 11. Ives and J. A. Quinn. It was decided to hold a meeting two weeks from last night, for the purpose of discussing the tariff question, after which an adjournment was taken. TALK OF III: TRAVELERS. Gossip and Expressions From Prom iueiil People at I lie Hotel*. M. L. McCormack, the territorial secre tary of Dakota, arrived from Washington yesterday en route to Bismarck. He was appointed by President Cleveland last fall, but so far his nomination has not been con firmed by the Republican senate. Ills visit to the national capital was for the purpose of ascertaining the status of his case, and to learn, if possible, the occasion of the delay. He found that t^ere was no particular op position to his confirmation, but was unable to learn when his name would be considered by the senate. He has been absent about two weeks and will return immediately to bis official duties. *** Mr. McCormack is an old settler of the territory, having located in Grand Forks sixteen odd years ago. He was born in Pennsylvania and with his parents came to St. Paul years ago. His boyhood was spent in this city, and on reaching his majority he struck out on deck of one of the upper river steamers. In a few years lie became commander, and joining forces with Capt. Alex drhjgß. located atfOrawl Forks. He is considered to be one ot the wealthiest residents of the town and territory. •>* J. P. Ileatwole, the proprietor of the Northfiekl News, came up on a flying visit. He said that he was not bothering himself about politics, as he found it paid better in the long run to devote his talents to busi ness. The only talk of a political charac ter which he had heard was in reference to Patteel candidacy for the Republican nom ination for attorney general. He said that Pattee was out for the place and the resi dents of Xorthfield, Pat tee's home, were naturally advocating his nomination. *** T. C. McContiell, Fargo, wasa hotel visitor. He is comparatively a young man who has lately moved to the territory. He formally lived in Indiana. His brother was named by the present administration as one of the territorial judges. Mr. McConnell is act lug as clerK of the court at Fargo. **♦ Maj. Walker. Elaine's brother-in-law, who has spent the winter in St. Paul, re turned to iii- home at Helena yesterday. He departed for Salt Lake. Those who know him claim that he has ho thoughts of locating in Hrighani Young's dominion. Tin major originally came to St. Paul to write up the ice carnival, but liked the town .so wen that he found it impossible to lea . He. will return when the ice palace rises again. %* C. A. Broad water. Helena, Mont.. Is a guest at the Ryan. He is at present iu terested in the conduction of a railroad fiom Helena to th<s Great falls of the Mls b url, where, in the course of a few years. 1 c and his associates expect to see a city of manufactures. It is blessed with the best of natural water power, which, it Is thought, will make a desirable site for a ' manufacturing city. The road will be ex- i tended up to the coal Held a short distance ; north of the falls, and will also run down from Helena to the Ten Mile line, a series | of paying mines. A large force of men I has been at work on the new road for the past two months. *»* W. B. Tiffany, Grand Forks, was at the Merchants, lie Is the Republican register i of the land office at that place, and is now I filling out his second term. Mr. Tiffany i came to Dakota six years ego from New ' York to accept the position, He has made several lucky investments and is a well-to do man. lie is oil his way to Chicago, where he will meet the members of his family, who have been East on a visit. *•♦ J. H. Ming, Helena, Mont, was an ar- I rival yesterday. He has spent the winter > in Florida, and is on his way back to his j way back to his territorial home. An ex- i tensive uilno owner is Mr. Ming, and a do- j vout believer in the future greatness of the territory. Ho said that, although away, ; be had been posted M to the condition of affairs in Montana, and was fully satisfied that the territory never was In a more promising condition. The mild winter had i proved very beneficial to the cattle Inter ests, while it had permitted work in the mines. The latter, lie said, were more | numerous and paid better than elsewhere in the world. political. i:roxoni v. Prof. W. W. lol\i*li'« Lecture Be fore li:mi:tiii| Circle*. At Jackson Street church last evening. Prof. W. \V. Folwell, professor of political economy at the state university, delivered j a lecture on Political Economy before the j Chautauqua union, which is composed of the ten Chautauqua circles In St. Paul. It was the third lecture of the course and partook more of the familiar talk to the class, which it was really intended to be, than the formal lecture, and was decidedly interesting throughout. After an introduc tion commendatory of the Chautauqua plan of making a combined attack on ignorance, which he thought might in the course of time be introduced into the colleges, the professor gave his hearers a dose of statis tics relative to the rapid increase in the world's wealth in the past few year*. He thought the earing was attributed toGlud stone that the wealth of the world had la creased since 1850 an amount equal to the whole of the world from the beginning of time to that date, and whether this bo true or MM there was was good reason to believe that the statement approximated the facts. He then read Htatir»tie!» of the Increase of wealth in the world, the United States and in Minnesota, also of the small increase in the number of manufactories compared with the enormous Increase in manufactured products — the work of machinery — and a point of great Importance In the present la oor problem. The professor 6ald that it was only m!k •«• 1776, the date of the publication of Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations, that political economy had been a prominent field of study and had been reduced to a science, though some writers held It was not a science at nil. He on proposed to {rive a general view of the field, as a multiplicity or detail would confound rather than instruct. He then proceeded to exhibit a series of diagrams representing- a concise and comprehensive synopsis of the whole theory of political economy, explaining them as he advanced. He made three subdivisions of sociology, viz.: Ethics, politics and econom ics. He then divided political economy into four heads, consumption and production—de pendent on the combined effort of man and nature— distribution and exchange— depend ent on the work of man with man— the latter tieiug the labyrinth of difficulty In the study of political economy. T.i'-u by further diagrams he analyzed each or those, finally coming to the conclusion that property was a social product, tho distribution of which the com munity had a right to supervise, the theory leading to socialism. The professor's last (lin<rrnm pave a definition of political economy as The Science of Industry. STREET SAVINGS. Johnny Ford, whose genial face beams over the liyan register, is one of the best writers in the city. Ilia chirography is so neat and attractive that the quests often get him to sign their names on the register, to give people who drop in to consult the reg ister the idea that they are A No. 1 penmen. It is understood that Johnny lias often been OUSVai lucrative positions in business aatabliatUDentii by people who have seen samples of his penmanship on the register, but he has refused them all. as he feel? that he couldn't enjoy himself in any posi tion where he wasn't obliged to auswt r between 11,000 and 12.000 questions per diem — 10,000 of which were foolish. « It may be of interest to a great many people to know that Annie Pixley and Subnet Fulford are registered at the Ryan, and it may be of deeper interest to them to know that room 20S appears opposite each name. It is the impression among a large number of people that Annie Pixley Is still heart free, but such is not the case. Mi" has been in possession of a husband for aeveral years and contrary to the general rule is proud of him, and he. gossip says, has never had cause to regret that he holds the first mortgage on the heart of the wild eyed child of the Sierras. V •'There's one thing that more than an other proves to my mind that that man D unbar is from New England," said a gen tleman at the Merchants yesterday. "What's that?" asked his friend. •'lie wears celluloid cuffs," was the reply. AMI'SEJTIE.NTS. Annie Plxlcr In '>^'ilM"»»Tamliir off the Shrew." Annie Pixley comes back after two years' absence abroad much improved in appear ance and general artistic finish. This bright young comedienne appeared before a good sized audience at the Grand last niirlit in the favorite old play, "M'llss." which is insep arably associated with Annie Pixley's name. It is a simple story of mining life in the Sierras, yet 50 full of quaint comedy.tender pathos and stirring dramatic situations, all combined, as to give full scope for Miss I'ixley's versatile talent. Her forte is in her etiteness and the rapidity and nat uralness with which she changes from one mood to another, Her voice is fairly pood and her songs always brine an encore. .The only objection to her singing is that she rplls her words together too rapidly, often producing an indistinctness of articulation. She is more of an actress than a songstress, and possesses Lotta's captivating manners. It is difficult to tell whether she is hand somer in the tattered garments of the child of the Sierras in the first part of the play, or in the elegant costume of the heiress in the latter part. The dress worn in the last act is of rich ruby velvet, with the skirt open ing at the side showing a pleating of feu ille de rose, satin marvellleux. and trimmed with ruby eoriettes d'eau, a garniture of great richness and brilliancy. The dress is a model of elegance and constructive skill and must cause admiring feminini many a pang of envy. Miss Pixley's sup port is exceptionally. good. Harry Mere dith Is an excellent Yuba Bill, while M. C. Daly makes a capital udge Beeswinger, these being the two most important char acters next to M'liss in the play. "M'liss" will be played again to-night and to-mor row matinee, and "Zara" to-morrow night. TAMING OF THE SHREW. Assembly hall at the high school building was tolerably well filled last evening with the pupils and their friends to witness the Taming of the Shrew by the High School Dramatic club. The play was adapted for the high school stage by and under the directiou of Miss Lenora Austin, one of the teachers. The players were very finely costumed and the stage settings appropriate. The parts had been well learned, and, ac cord ugly, the play proceeded without those annoying hitches so common to amateur performances, and the audience was always enthusiastic. The pupils of the high school have reason to be proud of their dramatic club. The guyftsticutns and giant skeleton will close at the Seventh street dime museum Saturday. A wonderful curiosity is an nounced fof next week. Camprtitiff Orators.

In the municipal cuirt yesterday morning Joseph Kain. Hartley P'Donuell. Hartiey Newell and j Anthony Connelly were before the judge for complicity in the Sunday night light which resulted in the murder. Kain and Connelly were discharged, while O'Donnell and Newell were lined $!.*>, Civil service Id-form. The St. Paul club of Social Science and a uuuiber of its friends were entertained and instructed last evening G. 0. Squires, who spoke on Political Economy at the Unity church lecture room. The speaker gave a history of civil service reform in England from its beginning to its practical perfection in 1870, aud told the short story of its career iv this country since its firs practical beginning in 1871. He was no mugwump and did not think It necessary for Republicans to go outside of their own party to effect civil service reform. The professions and practices of the present administration were a contradiction, es,.«i iaily iv the postoffiee department, he said. He favored enlarging the scope of the law. The next lecture of the course will be by Prof. William F. Phelps. who is expected to deliver an address one week f torn last night on the Laborer and the School. Blenr Out Ills Brain*. Early yesterday morning Andrew Erlck pon committed suicide by shooting himself through the head. Erickson was an old resident of St. Paul and was keeper of the Wabasiia street bridge when tolls were col lected for crossing the structure. He was a native of Stockholm, waswell known in this city and lived at the corner of Seventh and Locust streets. Several years ago he lelt m. Paul, going to Sparta. Wls., and later to Eau Claire. The venture was not successful, financially, and iv the latter place he lost several children. Since his return he has been unable to find steady employ uieut. and it is supposed that these troubles in duced him to take his life. The bullet en tered the right side of his head near the ear. and death resulted in a few moments. Ei icksou was a member of Acker post, G. A. K. A wife, grown-up daughter aud a thirteeu-year-old son survive him. The Water Board. At the meeting of the water board yes terday morning bills were allowed amount ing to £U,£13.43.

The attor ney for the board was instructed to pur chase fourteen acres of land near the outlet pipes of Vaduals lake, provided the same paid did not exceed 5i, 400 for the tract. The court house contractor asked for free water to construct the building, but the board declared it had no Dower to grant the request. The price fixed for water furnished street sprinkling contractors was fixed at 50c per 100 feet per week for paved streets and ttfl per 100 feet per week for unpaved streets.

WILL MARTIN BE HELD? J. D. Martin, Charged with Murdering Buck Moore at the Transfer, Brought into Court. Oolm and Berene as a May Morning He Views tbe Evidence Against Him. Attorney Btubbs and Other Counsel Hard at Work for the Ac cused Man. Developing the Story of the Murder- How Martin Weakened Once In Hia ( .11. martin In Court. A thick-set man, with light hair and sharp blue eyes ami with a well-titting suit of bluish clothes was one of the earliest men in the room where Judge Cory holds court yesterday. An oflicer was with him and he was escorted to the corner of the room to the let t or the judge, where ho sat for an hour or more, while the list of plain druuks and disorderlies was disposed of. He apparently took as much interest in Urn proceedings as any one of the twenty or more that sat inside the railing. It was J. D. Murtiu, arrested on March 13 for the murder of Buchanuan Moore ut the Minnesota Transfer. He was not pale, but his complexion has been somewhat bleached by his month of jail life. ll is face looked fair, fur his cheeks have nut grown thin by the confinement, and whatever feelings of anxiety he may have had since the morn ing of his arrest on the charge of cutting Buck Muore's throat. no emotion, either of remorse or fear, was manifested, though when the examiua- tion of witnesses began, his lips seemed to close a little more tightly.and a look of half defiance, half indifference seemed to come over his face. He paid no attention to the crowd that filled the space outside the raffing, and watched his movements and listened eagerly to every word of the witnesses, in the hope of, catch ing some utterance that would light a corner of what Is, even yet, much of a mystery. He was good-natured, smiling a bit at times, nonchalant, cool — as little in appeaeance like one against whom was written the charge of having in cold blood and under thick darkness taken the life of a companion, as was his leading counsel. who sat beside him. Martin's exhibition of nerve has been noted by all who have been interested in his case, since his arrest, and it was never more notice able than yesterday. Daniel P. Stubbs of Fairtield, la., is his legal defender. A tall, well built man, slignt ly stooping, is Mr. Stubbs. A good natured looking face, well covered with a grey beard, a promi nent nose, and a twink- ling eye he has. He makes no noise, shows no excitement, apparently is not exercised for his client, and smiles occasionally at some point raised by the counsel for the state. But he keeps a pretty sharp eye on ail that is going on. and on many occasions, as the questioning went on, he remarked quietly aud in asiood-natured way, "I shall object to that. your honor." in a tone that indicated that he was pretty sure that he had good grounds. It was about half-past 10 o'clock when Mr. Mr.bbs motioned Martin to leave HM scat he had taken in the corner aud come over to a chair directly FACING THE WITNESS- BOX. Mr. Stubbs has assistant counsel Mr. M. A. Spoouer of Minneap olis, a young isleuian. with pompadour hair and a black moustache, who takes most of the notes for the defense, |jand keeps a sharp ear out for the words of the state's witnesses, after consulting with Martin and frequently with .Mr. x Stubbs. '•I would request," said Mr. Stubtw, "that the state's witnesses retire from the court room durine the taking of testimony," and when Judge Cory so announced fifteen or eighteen persons arose and left, so many witnesses had Judge Egan summoned as having facts in their possession that might explain the mystery. Judge Boa is assisted in the prosecu tion by M. D. Munn of St. Paul. Chief Detective O'Con nor has a seat near the district attorney, and frequently gives him pointers. Chief of Po lice Clark and a sprink ling of officers were al.-r present yesterday. A I the day was taken up with the examination, and it was not completed. It was largely — alu\osi wholly— confined to tlx development of those parts oi the plot which have i»c«.u given at various times in the newspapers, and the cross-examinations of the attorneys failed to reveal much that the previous question ings of reporters had not brought to tight The gradual development of the story is of interest Charles Elliott was the tirst wit ness. He said he had known Buck Moore, and had worked with him for John ('am mack near Salem, la., where he had also seen Martin. Martin had been a horse dealer down there and he had seen him with Moore. As the witnesses left the chair he shook hands with Martin, who seemed triad to see him. Then the story of the finding of the murdered man on the Bigfct of March 13. was told by A. A. Wood of Minneapolis, an engineer at the Transfer. He said that he was on his en gine, opposite "pen 40." and heard a notts as if of some one in pain— a dismal noise. Leaving his engine he went to pen 40 and found Moore, leaning against a post, HIS THROAT WAS CIT ana* flic blood streaming from it. Fie wont to the office for help, and then the dying man was taken to his engine and be ran it to Merriain Turk station. Mrs. Emma Davis, wife of the proprietor of the Transfer house, told of finding a pair of blue overalls in tin. vault, next morning. They were rolled up in a package, and beside them were two note-books, torn opon. The articles were produced and she said she thought they were the ones she found. Mar tain had been at supper the night before,and so had Moore, the latter, however, being an hour later than Martin. She said that Martin had stopped at the house be I ore — last sum mer she thought, but just when she could not say. Barney Crawley, foreman at the Transfer, testified to being one of the party that went for Moore when he stood bleeding, leaning aeninst the post. Mis back was against the giitr.be had on no hat ami bis face was l.lo* dy troin a cut over his forehead. He ha 1 helped take the dying man to Merriam Park station and had stayed and held him while help was Mag summoned. He said be saw Martin iv tho depot talking- to the ticket agent. He had seen him before. Martin walked over near where Moore lay — witbin three or four feet — and after looking at him, apparently, for a abort time had (rone out on the platform and walked In the direction of Minneapolis. Moore went br the name of Smith. All timt the witness beard him «ay was. "take me to the Transfer." He helped to examine Moore's pockets and found nothing that he remem bered but a watch key. The clothing was vorr bloody. William Kyan, foreman at the stockyards, said he saw Martin at the Transfer house about 6:30 o'clock. Had had some conversa tion about horse*. Martin took supper with him. Witness asked Martin to go to Minne apolis with him and be at first consented, but finally decided not to go. They vent to a saloon and had a cigar after which be Urt Martin and came to St. Paul. He went back at 11 o'clock. He saw Moor*, but did not see Martin until the next day. He spoke to him and apologized for a rim irk he made the night bet ore. "What was that remark," asked Judge Ejran. ••I said to the people at the station that Martin tnlrht hare been the guilty man, as ho was the ouly stranger seen about that day. 1 apologized to Martin for making the re nmrk. Martin s»ld, "That's all right. If I had been In your place and you in mine, I would probably have said tae same thiug.' " THE AFTKKROON. In the afternoon there was not so large an attendance as in the morning. John Cannody, yardmaster at the Transfer, was the feat witness. lie said ho had helped take Martin to the depot, had seen Martin there, and he had asked, "Where is Billy.' 1 ' meaning himself. He found the bloody knife aud gave it Officer Klein. It was in side the pen on some litter, and was closed. Two pools of blood were there, about twelve feet from where Moore was standing. Then tM blood on Moore's hands. He Identified the knife. Oflicer Klicn testified to finding a coup- I ling pin and a hat in "pen 60." The hat was ten or twelve feet from the blood pool. Ho searched Martin at Davis' hotel j that night. Ho found two letters and about $<>. Martin said he came from Minneapolis. Ho told Martin to stay around and told Davis' barkeeper to see that ho did not go away. Martin was perfectly willing to be searched. Mr. Anderson, 1. Abraham and Edward Wardoff, or the Golden Baffle clothing bouse, Minneapolis, testified that Martin had bought a pair of overalls at their house on the after noon of March 12, and they said the overalls in question corresponued in make and size with the pair in court. Thomas Welch, a switchman at the Trans fer, testified to seeing Martin about tho Mer riam Park station. John Caminack of Henry county, lowa, testified that Moore had worked for him near Salem, la., leaving last fall. Martin had been at his house frequently. The two men were acquainted with eaeu other, and they slept together when Martin was at his bouse. He bad seen Moore have a memorauduin book. He titled one found in the vault and said he bad given it to Moore. ••How do you know positively that this is the one.'" asked Mr. Stubbs. "Because of these recipes for two or three horse diseases that were written in it when 1 gave it to him. Moore wrote tnein." He could not identify the hat. AN IAiroKTANT WITNESS. The next witness was Frank Scougale. a saloonkeeper from Valley City, Dak., who idem the knife as belonging to Martin. ills testimony was important and interesting, revealing as it did that Martin has once, at least, weakened since arrest, and given way to feeling, bcougaie ■Id, in substance: 1 have known Martin for years at Valley City. I have frequently borrowed his knife, and had sometime* kept it for days. When I heard that he was in trouble here 1 started to come down to help him, if there was an, - thins that I could do. 1 thought the officers nud mm corraled here, and 1 could help him. Wnt-u i read in the papers on my way down tUat ho had identified Moore and felt like jumping from the train. I went to Martin's cell on my own suggestion and shook hands wita him, i toid him 1 was sorry to learn of the charges against him and would help him. 1 asked mm why ho had ever been at tne xransfcr at that lime of night and why he iiud not disposed of the poucy ou Moore's life. Martin said he was looking after horses and that he bad advanced money on bis policy, to be paid back as soon as Moore could get it. He said: "If 1 wanted to nave killed him for that, why didn't i kill him be fore the policy expired." ' 1 told him to tell me all auout the case. It would go hard enough with him even if he were innocent. 1 said: "For God Almighty's sake tell me all about it, the circumstances are atainst you. Tell some friend and explain ail your transactions. Capt. Ureasette was present and we asked him to leave. I asked him myself three times to go while Martin told me bis story, but be did not. Maruu said, vl can't tell you," and then he grasped m> hands, and, putting his face upon them, burst out crying. 1 told him ttieie was something behind the horse business at the Transfer, but he swore he was innocent. I went out into the other room of the station, and saw the knife and 1 was paralyzed. 1 knew it was his. Next morning i we..t to see him alone and asked dim 10 tell me ail. He bold that if be did I wouiu tell tuts puDhc. I said that was so, and he said, 'I expected it. I'll keep in/ mouth shut. The closer I keep it the better. I've talked too much now.' " Mr. btubbs How do you know that was his knife? Mr. Scouprale— l don't know. I knew it by instinct. If some one had asked me before 1 couldn't have described it; but it was as if 1 had found something that belonged to me. 1 knew it. Mr. — "Was there any mark on It?" Mr. sjcau^alo — "No, but I knew it was the knife. It was the same feeling that you have when you pick your hat from a dozen others. 1 knew it was me knife. 1 knew it when I saw it, and any one that saw me theu, if he is any judge of human nature, would say that 1 looked as if I recognized my friends knife." HE SIMPLY KNEW IT. Some vigorous questioning could draw from the witness no other statement. He could not explain bow he knew it, but simply said "he knew it when he saw it." During the trial he was in the chair, Martin watched him closely, but gave no sign that he was any more interested than any one of the other witnesses. William Saunders of Valley City testified to having known Martin there, and the last witness was Capt. Bresette,who testi fied to having helped make the arrest and to finding tho bloody overshoes. Martiu examined the knife and the over shoes with apparent interest, but gave them no sign Of recognition. If tho sight of Buck Moore's blcoi causes him any especial hor ror, he conceals it, and when Judge Cory aJJourncd court ho went back to bis cell as cheerful, apparent]/, as any of the specta tors who walked out to go home to supper.

"When we two parted, after lingering late at the garden gate, 1 felt that I had taken cold," said Thomas Takeintime, "and next morning 1 was hoarse indeed. But a bottle of Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup li\ed me up, and there's enough left 101 next time."'

(>nly second in importance to lighting in domestic application of gas is that of cook ins and beating bj its means. The con venience and comfort of cooking by gas, e^i'vially during the summer months, whan a fire is not otherwise required, can only be thoroughly appreciated by those who had exjierieiieo in its extremely useful applica tion for that purpose. The advantages in convenience, clean liness and economy are quite as great re latively in the case of the smallest family, as In that of the largest public institution, if the pas be properly burned and carefully used, and yet with the public generally there lias been a strong prejudice against OOOJrtag by gas, which has greatly retarded its more general use. Within the la>t few years the popular prejudice has been giving away, as the advantages of gas for this purpose are becoming more widely recog nized. The objections to thns utilizing gas have been chiefly a mistaken belief in its flavor ing the meat, the ditliculty of taming it satisfactorily, so as to avoid smoking and dirt, and its expense as compared with other fuel. There can be no doubt that some gas stoves are very extravagant and wasteful, nevertheless, the objections raised are neither pertinent nor convincing. We claim that the advantages accruing from the employment of gas are manifest and mabjr. It can be shown satisfactorily that great economy results from the employment of gas. The lighting and extinguishing of gas Is an instantaneous operation, neither entail ing the drudgery, waste of fuel, of time or temper expended in the lighting of a coal tire. The waste in meat cooked by gas is greatly diminished over that cooked by coal tire. We rind that meat roasted by coal tire loses one-third in weight, or Sftjtf per cent., while the same cooked by the gas process loses only about one-seventh, or 14 per cent. Another important advantage is the sim plification of the labors of the cook. With i a good gas cooking stove the difficulty aris ing from slow tires, quick fires and brieht tires vanish at once and forever in the sim ple turning of a tap, admitting more or less gas, the cook controlling the lire, instead of the fire controlling the cook. The cook having the fire directly under her control, the heat can be calculated to a nicety; it is not variable, and it is as readily obtained as it is easy to be got rid of when HO longer required. Not the least abstruse of the many branches of a cook's education is the requirement of experience in roasting. She has to calculate and weigh with much nicety the size of the joints and the power and effect of her fire. But gas ovens and roasting chambers, skillfully contrived, in sure always an even and regular heat. The meat, as we have said, will be found to have wasted but little, and be more full of nutritive elements than if cooked in the old way. juices and fat being no longer separated, but thoroughly incorporated with the meat. There are numerous modifications of ap paratus. We claim the following as some of the advantages in comparison with coal and the ordinary gas stoves heretofore used: First- More healthful through the ab sence of waste, heat, soot, smoke, dust and smell. Second— More certain, by the rapidity of manipulation, in consequence of the sim plicity of construction. Third— Less troublesome, requiring very little attention during the process of cook- Ing. Fourth — Less expensive. Fifth— Less wasteful, through loss of weight; ihe juices and fat instead of being separated, as is the case in ordinary pro cess, remain thoroughly incorporated with the meat, a point of great importance in a nutritive as welJ as an economical sense. Sixth — The adoption of the most perfect burners in all the apparatus, whether for heating or cooking purposes, discovered by scientiiic research.
