COOKS IN THE ARMY.
The Commissary General Wants Them to Be
Specialists.


The annual report Of Brig. Gen. Beekman Du
Barry, commissary general Of subsistence of
the army, is mainly statistical, giving the de-
tails If the work done and the money expended
by his bureau during the past year. but it con-
tains one interesting paragraph in regard TO
the necessity Of having better cooks for the
army. He says: ION account of the i'm
portance of the matter venture to renew the
recommendation 50 frequently made by the
commissary general of subsistence during the
past ten years, that some provision of law be
made for the enlistment of cooks and bakers
for the army. Under the present system tenn
porary details of men are made from the COM
pauies from time to time to serve as cooks and
bakers. The men detailed are often mex
perieneed. have little fondness or aptitude for
the duty, and from the temporary nature of the
employment take but little interest in il. 1t
matters not how great in quantity or how good
in quality may be the raw articles of food fur
pished by the subsistence department, the SOL
der will not be properly and wholesomely sub
.sisted if the articles are not properly cooked.
1T would be in the interest of the govern
ment and Of the well-being of the soldier if pro-
vision were made by law for the special enlist
meat Of men as cooks and bakers OF cooks
there should be one for each company, troop
or battery, and of bakers one for each garri-
soned post. i commend the matter to the spe-
cial attention of higher authority. believing it
10 be one of the greatest importance for the
health, comfort and efficiency of the enlisted
men Of the army"

the structure free of cost for the mere sake of
having an isolated exhibit. This offer is also
being held in allegiance.
CHARACTER OF THE EXHIBIT.
According to law the navy is to produce an
exhibition Of the war power Of the country.
The battle ship, being q type Of the highest de-
velopment in this line, was selected as the model
Of the exhibition building, rather than cruiser,
which represents only one phase of the art Of
naval architecture. There will be q complete
exhibit Of models and objects showing the
progress of naval affairs from the foundation OF
the government. and no effort will be spared to
make the presentation complete
It is proposed to carry the new torpedo boat,
number 2. which will be built within the next
year at Dubuque, across to Chicago by rail and
incorporate her in the exhibition as a further
exponent of modern methods 1t Is thought
that this can easily be done with three cars
nicely adjusted.
Capt. Meade has recently returned from
Chicago, and he says that the greatest energy
is being expended on the work of preparing
the site and constructing the buildings Tor the
exposition. The work is being carried on both
night and day, and enormous progress Is being
made. As soon AZ one gang OF men quits Work
another steps into the trenches and upon the
walls and pushes ahead so that no time Is lost.
Instead of there being year for preparation
this method gives over two years.

In Her Room.

A Coiored Girl From MonteIlo Found Dead
In Her Room.
Bette Payne, Q colored girl about twenty
years old, lived in .Montello until yesterday.
Although her home was almost within sight Of
the street lamps she was ignorant OF the manner
in which the burners were used. The poor
girl thought that gas light had to be blown
out. the same as taIlow dip or kerosene lamp,
and her ignorance resulted in her death.
Bette was employed yesterday by Mr.. g. F..
Reed Of No. 729 9Th street northeast and was
given q room in Mr.. Reeds house.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reed spent last evening away
from home, and when they returned they no.
ticed light in the girls room.
Nothing more was thought Of the girl until
this morning about o'clock, when a knock on
her door elected no response.
When the door was opened a sickening smell
OF gas indicated the true state of affairs in the
room. Bette had blown out the gas and when
found she was dead. The police were notified
and the body was turned over to her relatives
for interment
