This afternoon, on the Nationals grounds,

Cooking by Gas.


The Sun Dial Cookers, now on exhibition at
the office of the Washington Gas-Light Com.
pany, are the same that were used by Miss
Dodds in her recent lectures on the science of
cookery at Lincoln Hall.
1t is especially noticeable that cooking is
done by any Of these stoves without unpleasant
smell, without dust, and without any Of the
labor attendant upon the handling Of coal or
wood, and the removal of the refuse of those
fuels in the form of ashes and cinders. You
turn on your gas, strike match, and your fire
is burning; aud after you are done with it you
turn oil your gas, the fire is out. In this con
sists the great economy of gas rs fuel. There
is no loss from consumption when your fire is
not wanted and no time is lost either in get
ting up heat, in keeping up the fire, OF in let
ting IL so out. 1t is a ready and willing ser
want, always on hand to do your bidding. For
summer use ii is especially desirable.

THE CLASSICAL SOCIETY.
Last Meeting of the Seasonal Discuss
of Thackuray,

Last Meeting of the Seasonal Discussion
of Thackaray.
The last meeting of the Classical Society for
the season on Saturday evening was well at
tended and full of interest. The essay was
well written paper on "Thackeray" by Mrs.
Dr. A. j. Faust, read by herself in a most agree
able style Commencing with some remarks
on the disadvantages under which Thackeray
labored in finding the principal fields of iic-
ton, some of which were most admirably
suited TO his genius, already preoccupied, she
glanced at the principal events of his life, in
Guiding his two visits to America, and then
gave rapid but able and apprccative critique
of his principal novels, illustrated by extracts
and personal anecdotes. At the close Of the
essay, which was heartily applauded and com
mendcd by subsequent speakers, Judge Shell
labarger made some pertinent and forcibe re-
marks on the influence of the modern novel,
and especially those OF Dickens, Oh the insti
tutiOns, legislation, and progress of nations,
and then called on other members to speak.
Among those who responded with most in
teresting remarks, some of them embodying
personal "reminiscences of Dickens and Thack-
cray las to whose claims for precedence the
speakers seemed to be divded), were DIR. c. G.
Cox, Generals Birney, w. II. Browne and J. L
ClArKe, Judges kUptOni i,Malle anu larDell III
Faust, Hon. +. b. French, and others. A gem
eral desire was expressed that Mrs. Faust would
favor the society with something more in the
same line. A vote of thanks to her was passed
and also one to Miss Ransom for her efforts to
ward the formation of ithe society and the
ourtesy and cordality with which she had wei
coined them to her studio. The society then
adjourned till next fall, it being understood
that the executive committee are in the mean
time to engage essayists so as to give them
sufficient time for preparation.
