toes-the 'smoothest and best shaped-and
scald aud skin them very carefully: take the
stem out with penknife taking care not to
cut the tomato so as to let the Juice out: then
place them in the caus, some of them with
the stem end next to the can and some with
the blossom ends; then take the Juice that
has run out of what I have peeled to cook,
having no seeds or pulp, and add little salt,
ana pour on my whole tomatoes until nearly
full; then place them in II kettle of cold water
and let them cook until they are hot clear

glass two. quart jars-and after the cover has
been on about five minutes take it off so thew
will settle, letting the gas out; then I fill mn
with juice and seal again, and my cans are az
ways full to the cover. A great many have
not learned this. You have no idea how nice

NO E-STREET THEATRE.
Tho mIssioners Revoke the Per
nit to Remodel the Skating Rink.

Tho Com missioners Revoke the Per-
nit to Remodel the Skating Rink.
The Commissioners to-day made an order
revobiDg the permit granted to Manager
Strasburger to transform the E-street
skating rink into theatre. Colonel Lud-
low stated TO a CRITIC reporter that tn
permit was issued without the knowledge
OF the Commissioners, and the
revoked II because they did not
consider It safe to remodel a building
into a theatre. He said theatres are extra
hazardous structures, and even the existing
theatres here are not perfectly satisfactory
as regards means Of exit and protection
from fire. "Theatre buildings ought TO be
built expressly for the purpose for which
they are used" he said.
There was protest lodged with the Com.
missioners to-day by the residents OF T.,
between Sixth and Seventh streets, aud also
from persons interested 10 the l. Street Bap.
tist Church, against the establishment OF a
theatre In their midst. The Commissioners
do not say that this protest had any weight
In bringing about their action.
In Issuing the permit Inspector Entwisle
retained the power to control the exits aud
details Of construction OF the theatre. The
proposed theatre was considered safe by
Mr.. Entwisle on account OF there being nc
galleries and the auditorium being on the
ground floor,
