timore American.
There are any quantity of
experiments now going on in
the way Of food and living. A
cooked food depot" has been
opened in East Twelfth street,
where great variety of cooked
dishes cam be obtained at ex-
traordinary low prices. For.
example, seven different kinds
ofsoup at from fifteen to twenty
five cents per quart, including
oyster soup, beefand lamb stew,
clam chowder and corn beef
hash, at twenty cents per quart.
Lamb potpies are twenty-five
cents per quart and fifty cents
perpan. Ham, beef, veal, lamb,
turkey, chicken and pork, roast
orbeiled. stuffed or boned, are
from twenty-five to forty cents
per pound. Goldfish cakes are
twenty-five : cents per dozen.
Meat pies and chicken pies are
from twenty to fifty cents each.
All the cereals can be obtain
ed steamed cooked, and pud-
dings at twenty, twenty-five and
thirty cents per quart. Fruit
dumplfngs are FIVE cents each,
and coffee and tea ten cents
per quart. Beef tea for recep7
tons and invalids is furnished
at thirty cents per quart lat the
restaurants it is three dollars
per GALLON. and lunches and
dinners are furnished in any
quantities. l have myself tried
some of the articles and found
them good; the beef tea, how
ever, was not as clear as that
supplied by the best restaurants,
but the taste was good This
is undoubtedly the beginning of
an era when we shall be able to
obtain our meats, our yegeta-
bles and our buildings, as read
lily as we can our bread and
pasteries. The difficulty here
tofofe has Ibeen the price, but
with this reduced to a standard,
which gives only the difference
between wholesale and retail,
and the bare cost of labor, a
large part of the domestic prob
lem will be solved. ,.,

Examination of Alex Mason.


The preliminary examination
of Alex. Mason, colored, charg-
ed with the murder of Ferdi-
nand Bohenstengel took place
before justice HaolSworth,
Thursday afternoon. Only two
witnesses were examined, viz
Mr.. Marcus Amsler and -
Richards. The evidence was
substantially as follows; Mason
went into Bohnenstengels store
andasked for a glass of beer
B. told him he couldn't have
any beer unless he took back
what he said about him, B.)
Mason replied that he hadn't
said anything TO take. B. then
ordered Mason out OF the house
at the same time picking up a
chair, which at the request Of
those present he put down
again. In the mean time1Ma-
SON went out of doors and be-
gan c,irsing B., applying to him
the most opprobrious epithets
and ordering him to come out
that he could. whip him by!this
time Mason was, round in
front of the house on the
street. Bohnenstengel went
behind his counter and
arming himself with a peice
Off buggy-whip stock about
four feet long he stepped out
and advanced upon Mason, who
warned him not to come.
Bohnenssengel stopped when
Masonlit him in the headwith a
piece Of scantling OF, board,
about six feet long and weigh
ing eight or tenpeunds.i From
the effects of this Bohnenstengei
died. The county attorney be-
ing satisfied that It was not a
case-of murder in the zfrst de
gree, allowed the justice to ad-
NIT the defendant to bail, which
he did; fixing the bond at the
sum sI2so, which was promptly
given and the prisoner was re-
leased. The Justice says that
while the bond is small, consid-
ering the enormity of the crime,
that it is quite large con
sidering his ability to give bond.
