Vegetarianism goes under the name of a fad, but, perhnps, it will bi tlio fashion. The two or three hundred ppople who sat down to luncheon jesterday in the dining room of Typographical Temple wore a IX THE KITCHEN. pretty fair" evidence that the vegetarian; lunch there given was a success. In fact, one of the ladies in charge said It was a howling success. There are about ten families In "Washing ton who are the nucleus of the vegetarian reform tlreory. Thoy .got together some days ago and suggested to the executive committee of the "Woman's Beneficent So--ciety or the People's Church, that one of the three days luncheons for the benefit of that church be devoted to the experiment or a -vegetarian lunch. Mrs. "William Tin dall, chairman of the executive committee, who is a vegetarian in principle and prac tice, adopted the suggestion and so did the committee. Yesterday was the Vegetarian Day and as the most practical proof of the success of the experiment the reports from the kitchen showed that nearly all the special refections had to be made over again sev eral times ao great was the demand, so large, was the crowd of disciples of this in teresting philosophy of food. Everything otieied to tLe palate was an instant delight. People did not have to wait -to acquire a taste for the fruita of the Parth and the hen, the latter being a vegetable de jure It not de facto. The niepu. was almost wholly American, with a few exceptions, such aB the tea and the coffee. t PIECES Or RESISTANCE. The pieces of resistance were the purees of peaB, and"Yelery, and "Judge Peter" and cream. Thero were no French titles on the card. Potatoes did not masquerade In an Ollendorff dress as "pommesde terre" and jeas were peas and deUHed eggs were devilled eggs. At the bottom of the card was the notice: "Cold meats will be served, if desired," but they were not desired. Hot, or cold, they were knocked out In the first round by peas, celery and Judge Peter, and the luncherswithoutexception. It was a sort of farewell reception to flesh , s ith Ichabod writlargeoverthe J rying p.m and the flesh pots of Egypt and Wash ington. Vegetarianism and Floralism go hand in liand. Tne lunch hall wasmade ab pretty as a picture from the conservatory. T tie tables were crowded with jonquils, crocusscs, A VEanTABIAX LUNCHES. palms, Japanese primroses, Easter lilies. Madam Testot roses, and maffes of spira infullwhitebloom. The esthetic effect was heightentHi by the piles of oranges, rosy cheeked apples, anl red and j ello wbananas. The luncners made quite merry oer the feasrand, by Uicwayj mostof them wanted to know when there would be another Veg etarian lunch. Thisis a straw which shows which way Judge Peter is blowing. The ladies in charge-say rhatan response to this certain call they will endeavor to give an other of these Garden of Eden lunches at an early day. Maybe Evt did not know how to prepare puree of celery in the District of Columbia style, but if she cares to run her eye o er the recipe, hac it is: Boil the celery in &alt water until tender; nin through a col lendar; add some holled milk; thicken with flour; season with pepper, butter and thyme. HOW JUDGE-PETERIS MADE. The recipe for the fascinating Judge Peter and Cream is as follows: Three fourths box of gelatine, two ranges, two lemons, nine dates, ten almonds, five Eng lish walnuts, eight malaga grapes; dis folre tho-gelatine in one pint of cold water for one hour; add one-half pint boiling water, juice of two lemons, and of one orange and two cups of sugar. Cook a little. Let stand till it begins to thicken. Cut fruit, etc, into pieces; mix and pour into molds. The jolly must be stiff enough to keep etery thing from sinking to the bottom. It is not Jmowa definitely how many a mXmimmm conversions to the vegetation theory were made by the experiment. Yqung and old had an opportunity of testing the merits, and subsequent results of the diet. The outward evidences of inward grace, wcre tasted the delights of the lunch.. "Ah," said a lady "who had lunched heartily and daintily, "I could He on this kind of thing forever." She said this abstractly with a lar off gaze into the future. Said a man boarded like a pard who had been eating beef all his life, and who completely obscured his share of the to matoes and peas: Wow I know that a diMi of lentils in peace is better than stalled ox, with a dull knife and a broken toothpick." JUST THE TniNG. Very nice, Just the thing, good idea, give It another trial, and so on, were the enco miums on the departure. Rev Dr. Kent, the beloved pastor of the People's Church, and Mrs. Kent have at tended daily at the luncheons, and are quite pleased with the idea and its results. The ladles who hao had charge of the affair -were Sirs. William Tindall, Mrs. Dr. Kent, Mrs. F. Smith, Miss A. L. Camp bell, Mrs. E. K. Miller, Miks Lyons, Miss Crowell, Mrs. Dr. Kimball, Miss Clara Bright, Mrs. E. C. Ruff, Mrs. and Miss Jennie it. Stadler, Mrs. M. L. Norria, Dr. Mary Morrison, Mrs. It. E.

O. Rich ards, and Mrs. Campbell. The ladies in the kitchen are to be con gratulated on their work, as the lunch de pends on the culinary art. The cooked elements of the feast preyed that thero were many artists in the kitchen. Down there between 12 m. and 1 p. m. the scene was aboutas busy as the folks in a bet hive, and especially when the supplies of pre pared dishes gac outandhad to berenewed. Messrs.

Proper ventilation and the best possible acoustics will be important considerations in the erection of the four mammoth tents which are to be used for the sessions of the international Christian Endeavor con vention at Washington iu July, '96. The seating capacity of each tent will be about 10.000, aud Mr. W. H. H. Smith, chair man of the committee of 96, has evolved and will soon have In blue print a plan which will relieve the host of Endeavor ers of much uncomfortable heat, and at the Kiirae time enable them to hear each speaker distinctly. Mr. Smith's plan has "been submitted to a number of experts on this subject and they have declared it to be the mot practical idea of its kird ever proposed. It is, in brief, as follows: The sides of each tent will be fastened up about three feet from the ground all around. The arrangement of featb will be s milar to that in Madi&on Square Garden. Stretch ing over the entire extent of seats and about eight feet from the top of the tent will be a coarse wire netting covered with Western building paper, which is of straw composition and one-eit,hth of an Inch in thickness. At frequent intervals in this paper large airholes will be cut. There will albO be a number of thtse hqjca cut in the canvas roof around the ndgo pole. Sus pended from a flag pole abot e these latter holes will be an immense canvas hood to keep out the rain and sunlight. Mr. Smith claims that as the maximum of cold is below, the cold air will pass into the tent through the opening caused by lifting the sides from the ground, forcing the hot air aboc through the openings in the building paper and out through the holes under the hood. Thus there will bo a continuous current of air, and the visit ing Endeavorcrs may be comfortable during the hottest dajs of a hot summer. The space between the wire netting and the top of the tent will act as a Fort of ventilating shaft, and the building paper will take the place of a sounding board. Mr. Smith's plan was informally but favorably discussed at the meeting of the committee of '06 on Wednesday afternoon, and it is believed will be ultimately adopted. The necessary drawings are being prepared, and it Is said the plan will be adopted by the committee in charge of of arrangements for the Bo&ton convention of '95, which occurs in July. eg DEATH IN A PATROL YAGON.

Liquor -Sellers Bcfused liy Attopcv Purjh. District Attorney Thomas Insists that the Parties Complains d of Had a Bight to Sell. Tho attorneys for the District spiked the guns of tho Antl-Saloon League yester day by declining to issue warrants in the eleven cases presented to them of alleged illegal liquor telling, and the crusade has been suddenly checked. A committee of league memhers, com posed of Detective Klinger, Attorney A. E. Shoemaker, and Mr. Jes30 Suter, called on Assistant District Attorney Pugb yesterday at the police court and asked him to issue informations for the eleven cases. Mr. Pugh, after consulting with District Attorney S. T. Thomas, posi tively declined to Ieeuo the informations, rmd the committee departed. -Mr. Pugh stated yesterday afternoon that he was as anxious as any one to see the liquor laws and all others enforced in the District, but that he would uot issue warrants unless be was satisfied that tho complainants had a case in which he could secure a convictrou. "I am in favor," he said, "vof Tarkhurst ing' Washington, if it will accomplish re forms in any direction, but I do not be lieve in issuing warrants promiscuously on the whims of Irresponsible persons, just because they can be issued. If the Anti Saloon League detectives or officers bring evidpneo to me showing that the bawdy house keepers, who are unlicensed, are sell ing liquors to their patrons, or that others are violating the law, I will promptly issue warrants for their arrest." District Attorne Thomas stated yester day afternoon that the -cases cited by tho Anti Saloon League wore or saloon-keepers whose application for licenso had been rejected in the first Instance by the excise board, but upon a reconsideration of its de cision by the board the applicants were notified that an extension of time bad been granted them, pending a final decision of tho board. They are, therefore, legally entitled to cell Jicuor until the excise board finally rejcts thoir application. Then, if the Anri-Saloon League find any orthenisellingliquor.audwanttoprosecute, they will have no trouble in getting n war rant issued. Mr. James L. Ewin, vice-president of tho League, said that no steps had been taken in the matUrslnce the refusal ofProEecuting I Attorney Tugh to issue the warrants. Mr. i:win thought that a ttstcase would nnally be made of one of the eleven presented to Mr. Pugh, where tho men were selling liquor under permits, after the rejection of their application for license. A prominent member Of the League cited tlie case of an uptowfr1 hotel keeper, who was convicted of Eelliiig liquor to minors, and, according to the law covering such a case, deprived of his license. The police of the First precinct wcrejnotif led to shut the bar up, but before they could carry out tb order, .the .liquor seller made ,apn Il ea tion for an extension of time, through his attorney, and the Excise Board al lowed him to continue -selling indefinitely. The League claims that the final re jection of the license, by the Board, for feits" all right of a bar to continue the sale of liquors, and as the District derives no benefit from the $100 deposited with the Commissioners, after the dale of ie tion, they aie consequently selling with out a license. It is said that application will be made this morning for a writ of mandamus, com pelling Mr. Pugh to isatie the warrants, and there is some talk of an indignation meeting of the league to be held Sunday night. a f JUDGE AND JURY INSULTED. Anarchists and Their Sympathizers Cut Up High Jinks in a Courtroom. Brussels, April 4.. There was an exciting scene In a law court here to-day following the trial of two anarchists who wero con victed of writing pamphlets, etc., denounc ing the military and upholding anarchy. The prisoners wero quiet enough during the progress of tho trial, but when the jury returned a verdict of guilty, they arose, and in the most violent language, insulted the judge and jurymen. Many friends aud sympathizers of the an archists were In the court room and they joined in shouting imprecations against tho court officials. The attempts of tho judge to restore order were without avail and the uproar continued until gendarmes cleared the court Toom. Waters Wants His i-ccs- Secretary Carlisle was jesterday directed to show cause v, hy a mandamus should not bo issued from the supreme court of the District to compel him to pay $665 fee3 to Charles C. Waters, late United States district attorney of Arkansas. Mr. Wat ers' home is at Little Rock. His attor neys are Dudley &. Micheuer and F. P. Deweejs.

The more important business brought be fore tho East Washington Citizen's Associa tion, lastnight, at ita regular monthly mpet ing, was contained in the report, prepared by a sub committee, Messrs. Thomas w. Smith, W. J. Frlzzell and J. R. Notting ham, and presented by Mr. Tracy L. Jeffords as haying been adopted by tho entire com mittee, on reclamation of the "Anacostia Flats." The report recites that a personal exam ination has developed that a very dangerous condition of affairs has existed in tho lo cality over since the boundary sewer was constructed, owing to the overflow at high t(der which backs up the sowage deposits and spreads it over three hundred or more acres of the flats. During the larger part of the year, tho committee says, tho matter thus deposited fermpnts, causing the air to bo polluted with noxious gasses and affecting tho sani tary condition of the atmosphere for many squares westward and southward, im pairing health and causing the death rate to be much greater than in jther parts of tho city. EXTEND BOUNDARY SEWER. The committee suggests that the large boundary street sewer should be continued adistanceof about 3,000 fectuiitil it reaches tho channel or tie Eastern Branch. This was eatimafd for by tho District Commls sionera, but Congress declined to make the appropriation. Because of the failure to get the favor able action of Congress upon the proposi tion, thus permitting two summera to pass before another appropriation can ,he made available, the committee urges that something be done by the Commissioners to cause the sewage to be carried to the current of the Eastern Branch and prevent its being spread over the flats seven hun dred and thirty times a year. The United States jail, smallpox hospital, Washington almshouse, the two work houses, the workmen at the bnckjards near the polluted flats, as well as the resi dents along Benniug road, in Rosedale and along tho higher points on tho west line of Anacostia River are all affected. The committee suggests that the Com missioners ho requested to set apart a por tion of tho appropriation for 1895 and 1896 to be used in the excavating of a capal of about 1.600 feet from the river channel at a point near to Twenty-sixth and A streets northeast, northward on Twenty sixth street to about the center of square 1155, and from there to a point about midway between C andD streets northeast, where it will connect with the straight line of waterway running to the mouth of Boundary street sower, the canal to have high embankments and be twenty-six feet wide and five feet deep. The esti mated cost of the construction is not to exceed $1,500. The report, which was quite lengthy, was unanimously adopted, and the committee that submitted it was appointed to place the matter in the bauds of the District Commissioners. REFORM IN DEED RECORDING. Tho committee on assessments and ap portionment of appropriations, through M.I. Wcller, chairman, presented areport, which was unanimously adopted, reciting in detail that "the antiquated system or re cording deeds Inaugurated In the seven teenth century is totally inappropriate for the advanced ideas prevalent at the dawn or the twentieth century." "The present alarming cordition of the records in the office of recorder of deeds" was referred to as "seriously menacing" all the titles in the District, and the com mittee on proposed legislation was in structed toconsiderandreportuponaproper method of conducting the office. It was suggested for the committee's consideration that: Tirst, the appoint ment to the office shall be vested in the Commissioners, that the appointee be a bona fide resident of the District; that all decdB filed J or iccord shall be retained in the archives of tho ollice; that in lieu of copjing by hand, deeds shall be photo lithographed , and facsimile copies f umished to Uie owners, copies being retained, also, for reference purposes, ananged accord ing to lot and squaro; that In addition to keening an alphabetical index, the Re corder shall keep also a tract index; that all surplus receipts Ehall bo credited to the District, and that an abbreviated form of deed of conveyance be adopted with a corresponding simplified foim of acknowleugcdmcnt The co-operation of other citizens' asso ciation and of the Board of Trade, in ob taining the required legislation to put the foregoing changes into operation was so licited. Mr. Thomas W. Smith called attention to the absence of lavatories in the schools, and the association indorsed his sugges tion that steps be taken to provide the chil dren with a place where they can wash hands and faces and hav e the use of clean towels. SHE HAD A PRESENTIMENT. Joseph Willis Laughed at His Wife's Tears and Went to a llornble Death. Louisville, Ky., April 4. Joseph J.

White oiling the machinery ho was caught by a fly-wheel that makes about 200 revo lutions a minute, and was dashed against the wall aud ceiling of the room, crushing him to dtath instantly.
