Lectures on Cooking.

Miss PRrlOa to Deliver Course OF
Lectures on Cooking.
Beginning on the first day OF April Miss
Maria Parloa, of New York, will give a
course of twelve lessons in cooking at
Metropolitan hall. The movement is
under the management Of the ladies OF
the Industrial Relief Society. Difereu,
dishes will be prepared each day, and
many valuable points on cooking will
dcu btless be given at each lesson. Miss
ParlOa is one of the famous teachers OF
the art in this country.
In London, Boston, New York, Phila-
delphiR, Baltimore and some Westet n
cities lecture courses have frequently
been delivered on the subject OF cooking.
and in several cities SCHOOLS have been
specially fitted up for regular courses Of
instruction. Baltimore has the finest and
most thoroughly equipped school in this
country, and the wealthy ladies of the
city have taken a great interest in it.
Everywhere the lessons are attended by
the ladies who are most prominent in So
cIety.
The idea is growing that it is a good
thing to know how to prepare dishes, and
tue more delicate the dishes the greater is
the advantage the mistress has in know
Ing how TO dictate its preparation. The
lessons are practical, every dish being
prepared before the class. The first
lesson will include instruction on chicken
croquettes, omelets. French fried pota-
toes, potatoes la Parisienne, thin fried

AFTER rHn LIQUOR DEALERS.
The Mayor wants to Know the Number
that Has p aid the Special Tax.


that Has Paid the Special Tax.
After the adoption Of the Broughton
street paving ordinance by Council last
night, Mayor Lester took occasion 20 call
up matter which had escaped the COun-
ciPs notice for the past three meetings.
A fortnight ago he called on the Finance
Com mittee for the number OF liquor deal
ers who did not pay the city tax last year.
Alderman Hamilton, chairman OF the
committee, stated at the time that he did
not have the figures with him. Alderman
Nell had just made motion that Council
should accept bid for the ourbing of
BrougntOn street, but he was not heard
by the Mayor, who went on TO speak OF
the investigation made by Deputy Mar
shall Wade.
chow many were THEREOF asked the
Mayor. somewhere about so or 80,
wasn't ftIv
As he made the inquiry he looked down
toward Alderman O'COnnOr, who was the
author Of the statement that all OF the
liquor dealers did not have a city license
last year.
"sixty four" interposed Alderman
OCOnnor.
The Mayor continued that he knew the
matter had been investigated, and he was
anxious TO hear the cOmmittee's report.
nls meeting having 0een called for
special purpose, l did not contemplate
being called upon for the figures
to-day" answered the Chairman Of the
Finance Committee. "In fact, the Finance
committee is not prepared to make re-
port, and in justice to the other members
Of the committee l must say they have
never, as committee, considered this"
Alderman Hamilton added that there
was nothing private about the figures.
lie remarked that be had shown them to
the Mayor merely as a statement pre-
pared by Mr. Wade. The figures
are not such as he generally
carries about, continued the member, and
II be bad them with him be could not pre-
sent them as report of the Finance Com
mittee. II can bring the figures down IL
Council wants thsm. The committee has
not made an investigation, but if desired
we can look into the matter"
"Neyer mind, gentlemen, II will inVes-
tigate 1t myself" said the Mayor.
The matter dropped there without fur
Their discussion, aud Alderman Mel's
motion was again made and taken up.
The Council adjourned TO meet at D.

TwENTY-FoUR O'CLOCK.
The Experiment to he Made on = Long
Stretch of Railroad.
From tie Daeenport "a Demoorat.

From the Daeeaport (Ia.l Democrat.
With this mornings cannon ball for st.
Paul was Supt. Austin Pound, OF the
winnipeg and Port Arthur division of the
Canadian Pacific railroad. To railroad
oficial who Travelled with him from Chi
cage be stated that on March 1 the "a
O'Clock plan OF timetable is TO be
put In operation on his division Of the
canadian Pacific railroad for the purpose
OF Lests That division was selected be-
cause 1t is 430 miles long, and, as he
said, timetable extending over such a
lengthy line would manifestly be materi-
any simplihed by avoiding all reference
10 the distinguishing terms of a. M. and
p. M, noon and night. The company in
attempting TO enforce the new system on
this division will have comparatively lit
Tie antagonism TO contend with from
travellers confused by the new nomencla-
lure, ON account of the paucity OF the
population, as there have been few if any
other railroads Of equal length built
through region so destitute of civilized
inhabitants before its completion. SUPER
lntendent Pound had a printed time table
with him. Midnight with this time table
is "A O'Clock. His time table, as printed
in the February humber Of the
Travellers Official Guide; make trains
arrive at Port Arthur at / D. M,
and leave Winnipeg at Z p. m. On and
after March ] the same periods of time
VIII be expressed by stating the time of
arrival at Port Arthur at 10 O'Clock and
the hour of departure from Winnipeg at
~ O'Clock. The line from Winnipeg to
Port Arthur, however. forms only small
portion OF the Western division. It's en-
tire length is l, 453 miles, the extreme
eastern point being Port Arthur, on Lake
superior, and the extreme western point
Donald. near the Pacific coast. To make
this entire journey now, three days and
three hours are required.
The uperintendents said that it is a fact
that the large majority of railway mana
gers in the United States and Canada who
have given the subject investigation are
In favor Of the plan of simplifying railway
time tables by avoidance of the division
OF the day into two parts of twelve bOurs
each and by computing time so that 10 D.
m. shall be y O'Clock. He believed 1t will
be adopted within the next ten years on
all the long lines. The experimental test
of the system is about to be made in a
locality where any advantages it may
possess would be specially useful on such
a lengthy division, and the disadvantages
would be of small amount.

LoUIsvrLLE WINS AGAIN.
Errors Lose the Second Game to savsn
nAh-Ths score.

A4h-A ne oNctSs
The Savannah base ball club took its
second defeat at the hands OF the Louis
Villes yesterday. The score was: Louis
vile II, Savannah z.
In spite Of the cold the crowd at the
Base Ball park was fully as large as that
which witnessed Wednesdays game.
The game started with Savannah at the
bat. The first inning was q blank. No
rlarity was in the box for the home team
and Ely for the visitors, with
Mclaughlin and Cross behind the bat.
bOth pitchers did effective work, but
were batted freely. In the fifth inning
Neal went into the box for the Savannahs
ana Keccius for the LOuisviiles. Neal
throws drop ball that is a puzzler.
During the four innings that he pitched
I'VE men went out on strikes. Browning,
the heavy hitter of the Louisvilles. was
retired twice. Mclaughlin, in spite OF
the fact that he had never caught Neal and
was equally as much OF stranger to
Moriartty played a good game. He is a
heaYy batter, and in the seventh inning
struck a three-bag ger of Reccius, making
the only three-base hit OF the game. Col
Inns, Field and Miller were each credited
with two-base hit for savannah, and
strauss one for the LOuisvilles.
Inc visitors are strong in the field and
a. the bat. Their team Is made up of
heavy men who have been in practice
while the Savannahs are a new team. In
view OF this fact the showing they made
ought to be more than satisfactory to the
management.
In tO-day's game Neal and Gillen will
be the battery for the Savannahs, and
Ramsey and Kerins for the LOuisvilles.
The score Of yesterdays game is as fol-
lows:

A Ridgeland, S. c., special to the
News gives an account Of the lynch
ing Of the young negro who assaulted
Mrs. Gideon Sauls near Ennis cross
roads in the upper part Of Hampton
county last Monday. The NEWS on
Wednesday contained an account of the
assault. The negro was captured the
same day near the scene of the crime and
WAS taken before the nearest trial JUS
tice. After preliminary hearing he
was committed to Jail. On Mon
day night while the officers were taking
him 70 Hampton court house
he was taken from them by mob OF
masked men and hanged in the public
road. No deTails of the lynching could
be learned at Ridgeland, as no one there
seemed to know anything about the affair
The negro gave his name as Charles and
said he was taken from Savannah last
July by Mr.. Sauls. He confessed to the
officer when arrested that he had killed a
boy in Savannah a year or so ago by hit.
ting him on the head with q rock. He
admitted that he assaulted Mrs. Sauls,
and said that he had been told to do 80 by
another negro for the purpose of robbing
the house. Ennis cross roOds, where the
tragedy took place, is about fifteen miles
from HardeeVille, aud is reached through
a sparsely settled country.
The boy which the negro confessed to
having killed was probably the little I3-
year-old son OF Mr.. Paul +. Masters, who
was killed by a negro lad of about the
same age, Feb. IL, 1884. The particulars
Of the tragedy were given in the NEWS
at the time. The two boys quarreled
about kite, and the negro boy threw
stone at young Masters, striking him on
the head and killing him almost Instantly
The young murderer left the city for a
short time and was never arrested 1t is
quite probable that be 10 the same lad who
assaulted Mrs. Sauls.
