The Culinary Art.

Mrs. Emma P. Ewing, Superintendent Of
the Chautauqua Assembly Cooking School
will give a series Of lessons on culinary
science and art in Butler, beginning next
week
Programmes Of each days lessons will be
distributed, the first being on Saturday,
Nov. 18th, in Union Hall, W. G. T. U.
Headquarters at 3 90 P. NJ.
A free lecture to which the citizens are
invited will be given in the NJ. e. Church
ON the night before, Nov. IL. At this the
male members of households are asked TO
be present as the subject intimately con.
Germs them and their comfort. There are
in the United States about 1900, 900
kitchens through which the vast supplies
of flour, meat, fish, poultry, fruit, vege-
tables and groceries pass daily, for better or
worse-generally worse. OF the millions
engaged in preparing food for our 60, ,000,-
600 of people, how many are acquainted
with the best, most healthful and most
economical methodist "The question with
house keepers" Mrs Ewing says, "is not
how to live cheaply, but for how little a
family can live on the fat of the land. 1t
is the waste in the kitchen that runs riot
with store bills" Unscientific cooking
means bad digestion, and deranged
stomach impairs temper and leads to the
use of stimulants. Sobriety, good temper
and domestic peace call for scientific nour-
ishment for the body. "Lucy," said the
young husband, Il love you, but / can't
eat your biscuits" How long will love
lastl
Tickets for the course or for single
lessons can be had OF Mrs NJ NJ. Sutton,
Mrs. G. A, Bailey, or at the door.

Fires.

Midnight fires are becoming fashionable
in Butler, and the last one was the burning {
of the Thompson House near the P. & W,
depot Sunday night.
Tue fire originated in the kitchen probs-
bly, from an overheated stove, the gas hay
ing been left burning; and had not Mr..
Thompson's two daughters Laura and
Mollie, who were the only persons in the
house at the time, (the rest of the family
being away on q visit been awakened by
the barking of the family dog, they would
have perished In the flames. AS it WAS
they barely escaped with their lives; and
the house and all the furniture was de-
stroyed.
The house was insured for 81, 600, and
the furniture for $500. This is the second
time this house, or rather the house on that
lot, has been burned.
The Springdale Hose Company had water
on the fire ten minutes after the alarm was
given; and they saved the Birch property
from total destruction.
The residence Of Mrs. Aggie r. Nelson
of Centerville was slightly damaged by
fire last Thursday.

A Remarkable Explosion.

The port Of Santander m Northern SpAir
was the scene Of remarkably fatnl ex'
plosion last Friday afternoon. A steamer
arriving there had concealed in her cargo Of
iron ore, oil in barrels, -four, etc. some
800 cases of dynamite. While dis
charging.her cargo at the wharf, fire broke
out in her coal bunkers, and got beyond
the control of the crew. The city fire de-
partment was called out, and people flock
ed down to the wharfby the thousand to see
the vessel burn. When the fire reached
the dynamite there was an explosion that
blew every body on the vessel and many on
the dock to atoms.
The quay with its enormous crowd Of
spectators rose slowly in the air. The
people were scattered in every direction
into the sea. Fire brands fell in showers
over ser and land for radius of mile and
a half The anchor was hurled 500 yards
away ard fell on the balcony of a house
which it completely wrecked. 1t then sank
deep in the pavement below. The shock
was felt in every part Of the city. Houses
rocked on their foundations and more than
100 we're set on fire by falling sparks. The
das'r c.ior il the hartor aas equally ap-
palling. The launch of the steamer Alton
so XII, which was lying alongside and
containing all the crew not aboard the
Maehicaco, vanished with the others.
The survivors fled ashore shr;eking. leav-
ing the promenade adjoining the quay
strewn with dead, dying and mangled
remnants of human bodies. Wherever the
terrified fugitives turned they met only
frightful destruction. Horror was added
TO horror in the wrecked and burning build
ings from which came piteous cries for
help. Many of the fugitives were thrown
down and trampled upon. Numbers are
said to have lost their reason The people
were too panic stricken to think of any
thing but saving their own or their relatives
lives, and ignored their burning property.
When at last a few persons with some
presence Of mind collected, It was at once
resolved TO telegraph an appeal for help to
the Government and to the municipal
authorities of other cities. Every available
wagon was summoned to lie scene, and
such supplies as medicine, stimulants,
bandages, etc, as could be collected were
distributed where they could do the most
good.
When night fell the sky luridly ref ected
the fires burning fercely in various parts
of the city Mendez Nunez street, running
parallel with the quay, was ablaze from
end to end. In the binding light and heat
the bands of rescuers worked to extricate
the dead and wounded. On every side
were scenes of indescrlbable confusion and
overwhelming grief The fire went on un-
checked through the night
