win Go to Brownsville.

The Hnntley Comedy Co is receiv-
ing such poor patronage that they
have decided to pull up stakes after
to-nights performance and go to
Brownsville. They have an offer
from the manager of the opera house
there, and also from the fair manag-
ers for the use of their band the bal
ance Of the week, and Mr. Huntley
thinks it will pay him to leave.
This company deserves better treat
ment than it has received here, and a
good weeks engagement is lost. The
band and orchestra is one of the best
that has been in the city for quite a
while, and the company of actors is
above the average. It's good show
for the money. They will present a
com dy drama tonight, entitled "A
Wife's PERIL" which will be the last
attraction at the opera house this
week.

FRIED CHICKEN AT IT'S BEST
Most Tender and Juicy When Not Killed
Until just Before Cooking.

Most Tender and Juicy When Not Killed
Until just Before Cooking.
Pittsburg Dispatch.
Travellers who have made the tour of the
Continent, and who have carried with them
discriminating appetites, are profuse in their
praise of the manner in which the Austrian
cooks at the Vienna hotels serve chicken,
where, they say, it is always tender, juicy,
and richly favored. And the reason is be-
But that there is a vast difference In the taste,
the flavor, and the palatableness Of chicken as
it comes variously from different cooks is a
matter well known. The manner of killing
fowl as practiced among the orthodox of the
Hebrew faith has much to recommend 1t from
sanitary point OF view. The obligation of
the Israelite to open the veins of the fowl to
let iJ bleed to death before 1t is cooked is part
OF the ritual law laid down by Moses In which
the eating OF the blood Of any animal was pro-
hibited under penalty Of death. @
1t has been learned that letting the fowl re-
main for some time after 1t has been killed be-
fore cooking has the effect of making the mus
cles rigid and the flesh consequently tough.
This knowledge was well known to the col
ored cooks of the South and was part of the
secret of their success In the preparation of
fried chicken, one of the standing and most
famous OF the dishes of the old plantation
aristocracy In the days of slavery Young
chickens, therefore, should not be killed until
Immediately before they are wanted. They
should be plucked and drawn as quickly as
possible before the flesh becomes cold, and
not moment should be lost in getting them
into the frying-pan.

ARCHITECTS COMPETITIONS.
The Abuses and the Uses OF the Prevail
ing system.

ING - Oubeb anu bnC uses OF Jne GEeVAII~
ing System.
New York Architecture and Building.
While we recognize the great dissppoint-
ment, losses, and unfair and aggravating
treatment to which architects are frequently
subjected in entering competitions, yet we
believe that the sentiment with architects,
taken as a whole, is that competitions are
desirable IL fairly conducted and under the
guidance Of competent committees of award.
The trouble is not with competitions, but
with the manner In which they are con-
Quoted, and the attitude OF the pub
lie regarding the position of the architect.
Committees seem to regard the competitors
much as they would business men submitting
samples OF merchandise, and seem to feel un-
der no obligations, in most cases, to consider
designs on their merits in themselves or rela-
lively to the terms OF the competitions. The
results under such circumstances are neces-
sarily disappointing to architects, and are quite
as likely to be Improbable to those Offering
the competition. Notable examples might be
named, such as the long delay in sw ard of the
first Grant Monument competition; the award
in the Criminal Court Building Of this city,
determined on the rate of commission the
architect would accept, and auctioneered of
to the lowest bidder: the undecided competi
tion of the last Municipal Building, the plans
of which. when last we knew Of them, lay un-
opened in the City Comptroller's Office.
Such treatment as this disgusts architects.
But there is such thing as fair and reason
able competition, conducted under expert
advice, which will at least command the re-
spect Of the profession, however much heart
burning may be felt by the competitors. In
most cases the building committee making
the proposal recognize only the commercial
side, and look to get the ideas of a number Of
men at the least possible cost, and frame
their proposition to architects on that prin-
ciple, and too frequently are SO short-sghted
as not to protect themselves against the lures
of the skillful draughtsman by calling in ex-
pert aid in making the award.
We published letter giving case in point a
few weeks since where town building seri-
ousy defective in design was selected in COM
petition with other welldigested plans. In
considering this matter we are disposed, for
many reasons, to feel that the architectural
competition is an institution likely to stay
with US, and that rather than use our efforts
to do away with 1t the profession had better
exert itself to prune off some of its ugly
phases and restrict it to such limitations as
