An Expert Declares That, In Cookery, the
English Excel.
After a long experience of the cuisine
Franchise and of American cooking and
of English cooking, have arrived at
the conclusion that the last named is
the most succulent, substantial and
notwithstanding of any other in the
world. English chops, steaks, kidneys,
baked potatoes, roast beef, boiled sal
mon, plum pudding and Cheshire
cheese are exactly the groundwork re-
qu red by man-at least Saxon man
to form the physical basis of the cor
poreal existence. French dishes tickle
the palate. but they do not lay healthy
flesh on the bones, calm the nerves and
make pure blood. These desiderata are
attained by steady course of British
feeding. In proof of what | say, one
has only to take y walk at any hour OF
the day in Hyde Park and watch the
promenaders there. As specimens Of

TIRED OF LIFE.
JULIUS oNcLE COURTS DEATH
WITH THE AID OF A 90.
cALIBRE PISTOL, YES
TERDAY.
Found In a Lonely Wood With the
Brains oozing from Hole In
His Head.

Yesterday morning about 8 O'Clock
the report became current on the
streets that julius Oncle, a butcher
of this city, had probably fatally shot
himself with suicidal intent. The
report created no excitement as On
Gle had made attempts to take his
life before and consequently nobody
was much surprised to hear that he
had shot himself.
HOW HE WAS FOUND.
About 7 o'clock in the morning
Judge II. Il. Petree had occasion
to visit his pasture south of Rus
sellville street, in the eastern sub
urbs of the city. While there
colored man named Mort Hubbard
called to him in passing and
told him that a man had killed
himself in the woods back of the
jewish cemetery. Judge Petree
went to the spot pointed out and
found Oncle sitting against a tree,
insensible. lie held a small new
pistol in his hand and his brains
were oozing out at a bullet hole in
the side Of his head, about two
inches above the ear. Drs. Bell, Scar
gent, Hickman and Woosley were
summoned and an examination was
made of The wound. The bullet had
ranged upward into the brain AMI
could not be found by probing and
the wound is a mortal one. Oncle
was still alive last night but in a
hopeless condition.

For special reasons, in the May Century,
more space than usual is devoted to the war
series, and sixteen pages are added to the
regular number, 160, in order that other
subjects of public importance should not be
slighted. OF superior interest is General
Adam Badeau's anecdotal paper on "Gen-
eral Grant as Soldier" General Badeau's
article covers the whole period of General
Grants military experience, from his brill
liant services in the Mexican war to the
surrender of Lee at Appomattox, concluding
with an interesting analysis of General
Grants soldierly characteristics. Another
interesting article is "Greely at Cape Sa-
bine," by member Of the rescuing party.

The Annexation OF Cubn.

According TO the Washington correspond
ent Of the Baltimore Sun an influential
element exists here and is apparently grow
ing, in favor of the annexation of Cuba, and
a ''leading Senator Is quoted to the effect
that a movement in that direction on the
part of Mr.. Cleveland's administration
would be a brilliant stroke of policy.
1t isfurther believed that cash offer of
100000, 900 for the island would prove too
strong temptation for the cupidity and
necessities ofSpain to resist. The result
ing benefits from the acquisition Of Cuba
would be free sugar and the opening of
that productive region to American cap
ital and enterprise. There is good deal
in the argument. There are also political as
well as economic reasons in favor of the
proposed annexation. The United States
should certainly hold this important key
to the Gulf or one of these days some other
power stronger than Spain will, and then
We shall have trouble.
1t is doubtful, however, If public senti-
ment in this country is yet educated up to
the full merits of this question, aud it is
perhaps better to err on the side of conser
yatism than Of jingoism.
A Washington correspondent of the Neq
York Tribune has the following to say upon
the same subject
Among those who make study oil

story that Mr.. Foster favors the scheme

does that of both the State and Federal
