Conducted by a special demonstrator of the Caloric Co. In
the meantime your attention is called to the following:
Book of Home Menus
Showing "IVhat to Serve" and "Hou)
to Set and Decorate a Table."
A book to be highly prized, con?
taining table settings beautifully illu?
strated in natural colors. Also twenty
four menus and more than one
hundred recipes for cooking in a
"Caloric" Fireless Cookstove
You will be amazed at the seemingly impossible, almost
unbelievable, things it does. It actually bakes cake, pic, bread,
biscuits, etc., and actually roasts meats, chicken, game, etc.,
without any fire whatever except that supplied by the radi?
ators (heated a few momenta over a flame the same as an or?
dinary flat iron), as well as steams, stews, boils, etc.
Youctfn cook practically everything for the family table, belter and more
wholesomely, more nutritiously, richer in flavor end nt Ices cost than is pos?
sible any other way. You can do so the year round, dimmer and winter.

Petersburg, Va., May 6.
Police Justice Plummer this morning
dismissed the warrant sworn out by
George F. Ormsby, of Washington, bo
fore Judge Walter A. Watson, charging
his former wife, Mrs. Amy I* Ormsby,
ft temporary rcpldcnt of Pctereburg,
with having used u forged transcript
of proceedings In a Washington court
In tho Hustings. Court of this city In
March in a habeas corpus, procedure.
The justice dismissed the case to-day
for wjnt of Jurisdiction, and declined
lo hear any statement from Ormsb>
as to what he expected to prove. The
defendant was represented by Paul
Pt.iMl.
Commonwealth's Attorney .P.. II.
Mann, who w,ns present to watch the
case, wsrned Oitnsby that If he re?
mained In Petersburg und further in?
terfered with Mrs. Ormsby. ho would
either have hint put under bond for his
good behavior or have him brought
before a commission of lunacy for ex?
amination as. to hit- mental condition.
The complainant promised to give no
more troublo here to his former wife.
Mr. Mann told Ormsby that ho did
not believe a word of 41s charges, but,
on the contrary, bellevx-d that ho was
engaged in persecuting his wife. So
fur as Petersburg Is concerned, this
cusu Is ended.

Bunch's Fine Paid.
The lino of %Z\> Imposed by President
Williams on Manager Busclu of the
Petersburg team, for alleged Improper
conduct on the buseball park here this
week has been paid under protest.
Busch probably did too much kicking.
An appeal will bo token,
i In this connection it may be suld
.that in tho Police Court this morning
j four young men were lined t5 and
coats each for disorderly conduct at
the baseball park on Thursday aftor
'noon. The disorder Is said to have
been brought about by a decision made
by Umpire Hrnderson deemed to be
unjust to tho home team. The evidence
in court this morning was that the
umpire was followed out into the
street after the name by a large crowd
of fans, who called him "thief, robber,
liar." etc The four young nien, while
iti tho crowd, denied that they had
used such language, or that tliey in?
tended any insult to the umpire. Thcy
putd their fines.
