could kill, clean, cook and serve chicken all
in six minutes. The wager was decided at
night i'll the cafe o. the restaurant, in the pres.
ence of big crowd. The cook appeared at
o'clock on an improvised platform, upon
which stood Gas cooking stove. He held a
live chicken high above his head, and the fowl
cackled loudly. One blow of keen carver
severed the head from the neck, and the cook
began to pick the feathers with great swiftness.
1t took just one minute to get rid of every
feather. In less than another minute the eX-
pert had opened and cleaned the fowl, and
had placed 1t upon broiler on the gas stove.
The cook busted himself at the broer,

FRESH SHAD,

What Two Visitors From BROOKLYN Had to
Say of Our Fish.
Slowly but surely all the fond dreams of
youth disappear. People along the Potomac
have for years congratulated themselves that
if there was any one thing which the Potomac
was famous for it was shad. They have fondly
dreamed that the fame of Potomac shad had
penetrated the entire country. Every little
while. however, man turns up from some
obscure hamlet and skaters all such fond
dreams. 1t was at Wizards at breakfast this
morning that small assortment of Washing
ton illusions were busted and scattered about
ruthiessly. They were from Brooklyn and
looked respectable. They owned up to living
in Brooklyn with frankness and absence of
shame rather unusual. Breakfast was the
order of the day. Both were scanning the bill of
fare.
''Shad ~ said one. with a Mortified expression
"WhereY CALCULATED the other in the same
manner, as if his companion had yelled
snakes
Here on the card" replied number one,
with a grieved expression, land it's rather ag-
gravating, too, as / am fond of shad; but of
course. any idiot knows it is impossible to get
any fresh shad this far south. They ship them
all from the north, all from the north" and
with a sigh of regret the learned man ordered
ham and eggs and read his paper peacefully
while the walters stepped around him on tip
toes.

Senator Stewart Again Protests Against Its
Being Approved.
Senator Stewart appeared before the Com
missioners at the regular board meeting this
morning to enter q further protest against the
approval of the Phelps subdivision on the
line Connecticut avenue would take II ex-
tended.
The Commissioners decided TO hear all parties
tomorrow. but the Senator stated that it would
be impossible for him to be present. He did not
think that any argument was necessary. The
law was explicit and could not be made palmer.
This, he said, was the law, reading from
pamphlet: mo future subdivision of land in the
District of Columbia without the limits
Of the cities of Washington and Georgetown,
shall be recorded in the surveyors Office of
the said District unless in conformity with
the general plan of the city Of Washington"
All the Commissioners had to do was to follow
the law. II they did not he was sure Congress
would not appropriate one cent to extend the
city's streets. Further, the Commissioners had
no power to permit this vandalism. The work
Of the Commissioners before the law was passed
will cost the government between $50 600 600
and $40, 900, 900, for some day he had no doubt
that all streets outside Of the city proper would
be in accordance with the city's streets. Re-
turning to the subdivision, which, il approved
will virtually close the extension of Connections
avenue, Senator Stewart said il il was approved
an additional cost Of probably several hundred
thousands of dollars would be added to this
amount. He was positive that Connecticut
avenue would be extended in little while.
