For the Eye of Housekcepers.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Pray allow q farmers wife to express her
hearty approval of the crusade begun in your
columns against the unblushing extortions
Of Washington cooks and buffers, and to
relate some personal experience, After
serving one family for fifteen years with
dairy and farm products, apparently in a
satisfactory manner to them as well as our
selves, a new cook appeared on the scene,
who coolly informed the man delivering the
articles that he must give her money, or q
turkey, or pigs feet. or something once in a
while. He promptly replied that we never
a month. though no complaint had been
made some other farmer was serving that
family regularly.
This has happened several times and we
have come to the conclusion it must be an
almost universal practice for servants to
demand a bonus.
a friend informed us that he sold at a
house occupied by only three or four white
persons and two servants a bushel of white
potatoes every week all through one winter
when he was confident not half the guam
tity was consumed there.
In another case 1.-THE powers that be-" on
being told that the price of a chicken was
40 cents, said: You might just as we'll
ence." and it is more than likely "she" did
pay 30 for that particular fowl
II 1t be true that right wrongs no one, "
we hope the housekeepers of Washington
Will examine and compare their accounts
rigidly in future, and by SO doing, they
may not only benefit themselves pecuniarily,
but those who supply their tables will also
reap reward from an increased vigilance
on the part Of the consumer, and not be, as
too often, wholly at the mercy Of untruth-

IN THE FOURTH VIRGINIA.
Both Democrats and Republicans
Claim That They Will Win.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
PETERSBURG, Va, October 20. 1894.
A prophecy as to who will represent the
fourth district of Virginia to the next Con-
gress would be very uncertain. William r.
McKenney Of Petersburg is the democratic
nominee, and r. It. Thorp Of Mecklinberg
county, the republican candidate. Both
claim that they will be elected. The popu-
lists and prohibitionists are not considered
at all in this political fight, and but little
has been heard of their candidates. Never
before in any congressional campaign in
the fourth district has there been so much
indifference and apathy manifested by peo-
pie of all political faiths as has been the
case In the present one. Strange to say,
the colored voters, who have heretofore
shown so much interest in politics, are TAX
ing little or no part in this congressional
fight and / have 1t from reliable sources
that In many Of the counties in the dis
trict the negroes will not go to the polls at
all on the 9th of November.
Mr.. Mckinney and Mr.. Thorp have both
made thorough canvasses of the district,
and i. they are not elected II will be the
fault Of the voters and not their own. The
largest meeting that Mr.. Thorp has yet had
was that at the Academy of Music a few
nights ago. The audience, however, was
composed largely of colored people, though,
to be fair, IL must be said that there was
also large sprinkling of whites. 1t was
at this meeting that Gen. Malone, much
to the surprise of everyone, made his ap-
pearance and spoke, and this, too, after he
had opposed the nomination of republican
candidates for Congress, and said If any
were put up they would have to look out
for themselves, as he would lend them no
assistance. This the first time the
general had appeared on the stump for
some years, but the applause which greeted
him was not prolonged and generous. like
that to which he had been accustomed in
days gone by. Gen. Malone. in his speech
was very eulogistic- of Mr. Thorp, and said
. that he would ably represent the people of
the fourth district in Congress- AMI asked
for him the earnest support of the people.
1t is believed Mahone's taking part In this
political fight will arouse the democrats
and cause the party to poll a much larger
vote, not only in the fourth district, but
throughout the state.

Why Cleveland Did Not Register.
New York Cor. Philadelphia Press.

New York Cor. Philadelphia Press
II the Presidents intimate friends rep
resent him correctly. he refused to register
for no other reason than that he does not
believe that he has the right to do II. He
knows that his attempt to register would
not be objected to, and that he could prob
ably select the hotel which he is aceus-
toned to make his city home as his legal
residence But his friends say that he
would regard such an act as dishonorable,
because he is now probably liked In his
purpose of never living in New York per-
manently.
These friends say that II Mr. Cleveland
had registered at all or qualified as a voter
he would have done so in the township in
which Gray Gables is situated. He looks
that he has, Washington being regarded by
every one who holds high office as merely
a temporary abiding place. Moreover, we
hear on excellent authority that when
Mr. Clevelands term has expired he will
go direct to Gray Gables and spend the
greater part of the year in that retreat,
with which he is greatly charmed. He has
said some things which lead his friends to
infer that when he retires from public life
he will also give up all activities and enjoy
himself without care or distraction upon
that beautiful estate. He has been greatly
fascinated during the recent vacation spell
with the direction of the estate, the laying
out of roads, the planning of improvements,
the enlargement and identifying of the
park.
Beside that, New York city, 1t Is said,
has never been a congenial place TO Mrs.
where the children can be brought up IN
such way as to gain the full measure OF
health and the better training which she
hopes they may receive.

THE GAYLEY COURSE.

An Entertaining Lecture on Comedy at
the Unity Church.
Prof. Gayley was greeted by large
and attentive audience last evening, he
taking up his subject from the imme.
diate successors of Shakespeare to and
through the Comedy Of Manners.
The professor referred to the plays of
Thomas Haywood, 1870 to 1850, and
read that comicRl comedy Of Fletcher
and Beaumont, The Knight Of the Burn
ing Pestle, 1911, which he illustrated by
much explanation. A short description
of Rule Wife and Have Wife, The
Humorous Lieutenant, by John Fletcher,
was also given, as also The Spanish
Gypsy, by Rowley and Middleton, 1927,
and A New Way to Pay Old Debts, by
Massinger. 1888. This brought the lee
ture down to the period of the social or
realistic comedy, commencing at the
reopening Of the theaters in 1850, which
were closed, owing to the religious OBJ
lection by the church people to the
drama some years previous.
The writers of drama, however, con-
tinued at work, and at last D'Avenant
asked permission to present comedy
fashioned on things aa they were in
lOoU. Iuib hppiicAtiou Uoihg Srnubou,
the dramas were presented, and have SO
continued.
The comedy of manners is lower than
any other school, and of this school of
manners the professor presented The
Plain Dealer, by Wycherley (1674). an
enjoyable piece. Love for Love Q695),
by William Congreve, was also read,
which little "bit" thoroughly delighted
his hearers.
Owing to the impossibility of Prof.
Gayley being able to complete his
course in elk lectures, arrangements
have been made for a seventh lecture,
to be given next Monday evening. Prof.
Gayley will devote Monday evenings
lecture to Sheridan.
Prof. Gayley'o next lecture will be
given on Saturday evening.

BAscoM AGAIN.

Returns.

MRS. McCrery Tires OF Him and
Returns.
San Diego Union: Mrs. R. McCrery,
companion OF the notorious B. A.
Stephens, returned from Ensanada
yesterday on the steamer Pacheco. She
was in distress below the line for want
OF funds, Stephens having disappeared
and come back to this city, where he is
still supposed to be in hiding. The
husband of Mrs. McCrery, who is a tel
egraph operator in the Terminal office
at Los Angeles, learned OF his wife's
need and sent her funds to return to
California. Whether he will forgive her
and take her back to his heart again is
yet to be seen.
Half dozen warrants are out for the
arrest of Stephens on charges of obtain
ing money under false pretenses. 1t ia
said that while connected with the
Los Angeles Herald he succeeded in
passing checks signed by himself as
manager. which were duly returned as
worthless. 1t is very probable he will
be caught and punished.
AS far as the HERALD management
knows, Mr.. Bascom Stephens never
drew any checks as manager OF this
paper. His employment on this jour
nal was only occasional, he not being on
the regular staff at any time

THE WEATHER FORECASTS.

Some rechnioai Information as to Their
Construction.
Mr.. B. s. Payne, the weather forecast
officer Of this coast, has issued an ex
planatory circular about his work. He
fails to say how he misses giving in
formation about coming rains and frosts,
but gives some technical information as
follows:
The weather forecasts are issued from
the San Francisco Office of the weather
bureau for California, Nevada, Utah and
Arizona. They are issued at a. m. and
6 80 .. m. daily the former covers the
period to p. IN. OF the day following,
the latter tJ q. m. of the second day
following, each being for the period OF
SO hours from tho a. N. and .. m.
observations. Formerly forecasts were
issued for but "a or 80 hours, but lately
they have been issued for 36 hour
period, and in most cases are proving
very satisfactory. In order to disssmin
ate as widely as possible the weather
forecasts, which are sent at government
expense to Che displaymen, it was found
that by not telegrapbings the forecasts
when they read for fair weather and
nearly stationary temperature, but only
telegraphing when precipitation Grain or
snow and decided Temperature changes
were expected, that the number OF the
display stations could be greatly in
creased and yet be saving to the gov
ernment for telegraphic service; hence
when no forecast message is received by
the display men at the usual time of the
receipt the white flag alone should be
displayed, indicating "fair weather,
nearly stationary temperature"
The terms used In the forecasts are
intended to convey the following infor-
nation to the public:
Fair weather." the word "fair"
alone is telegraphed, the word weather
being understood, means that for the
next 36 hours no precipitation will
occur; the weather may be clear, partly
cloudy or cloudy, and If no rain falls,
the weather in this connection is said to
be fair.
"Rain," means that for the next SO
hours rain will fall, not necessarily con.
tinuously, but for the major portion Of
the time.
"Showers," mean that rain will fall at
intervals; Occasional" showers, less
rainfall in duration than when the word
"showers" alone is used.
rain is about over but occasional showers
will occur before fair weather sets in.
For rain" the blue flag should be
displayed.
For Showers" occasional showers"
and for clearing weather." the half
white and half blue flag should be dis
played.
STATIONARY temperature" the word
stationary" alone is usually tele-
graphed. the word Temperature" being
understood, meens that the temperature
will not vary over 6 degrees from the
temperature at the same hour of the
day before. "Warmer" means that it
will be degrees or more warmer than
at the same hour of the day before.
Colder" means that it will be 6
degrees or more colder than at the same
hour of the day before.
Decidedly warmer" or decidedly
COLDER" mean that it will be 10 degrees
or more warmer or 10 degrees or more
colder, as the case may be, than it was
at the same hour OF the day before.
