THE COOKING SCHOOL.
Miss Clarke VIII PrObab!y Have
One Here soon.

1t is expected that the cooking school
that met here early in the summer with
such success, will soon open for another
session. So many ladies who, for various
reasons, were prevented from attending
the previous lessons, expressed their
regret and their eaperness to join class
at some future time, and the fo.mer
scholars were SO enthusiastic for fur
ther course that Miss Clarke has about
decided to give Ashcyille the benefit of
the opening lessons. in her tour OF the
Southern cities.
Miss Clarke's work during the summer
has all tended towards the preparation
of a varied and instructive program for
the fall lessons 1t will be very different
from the one pursued in the summer
school. Asheville's market, which Miss
Clarke assures US is the best in the South,
is now stocked with different vegetables,
fish, etc. Oysters, no doubt, in a variety
of fotms, will be prepared and served to
the class.
Young housckcepcls S, especially, will be
interested in learning a number OF new
and delightful ways to their husbands
hearts, and it is said there will be a
great many brides and youthful matrons
among Miss Clarke's pupils. As the race
of good old-fashioned colorcd geniuses OF
the kitchen passes away, and no new
dynasty arises i'll their stead, the South
ern women are beginning to take mat
tcrs into their own hands.
We may live without poetry music and art,
We may live without conscience and live
without heart;
We may live without friends; we may live
without books;
But civilized man cannot live without cooks

THE ASHLAND CAMPAIGN
THE LADIES OUT IN GRE
FORCE.
7 hey Are working Mainlv
Against The "8ilver TOuxued"
CODgresslnan-A Attack OH
Owens which He Resents.

LEXINGTON, n.y., sept. Al he friends
of Hon. w. c. Owens here this morning
ARE dcnouncing in most scathing terms
Breckinridge's efforts to cover their can
didate with dishonor at this late date.
After being adviced by his friends that
Col. Breckenridge had given out to press
here an interview in which he was
charged with being elected with young
woman from Louisville hotel, he tele-
phoncd the following statement at l
o'clock this morning:
81 am informed that Breckenridge says
that, with a woman represented to be
my wife, | sought admission as guest
of some hotel in the city Of Louisville,
and that admission was either refused
me or that was required to leave the
hotel after having been admitted as a
guest thereof. am unable to learn the
time, place aud circumstances OF the
alleged incident and am therefore unable
to contradict the infamous falsehood as
circumstantialy as | would desire,
but can, however, and do now pro-
nouncc the story as communicated to me
as absolutely false, and l will further
say that at no time or place or under
any circumstances did ever, i'll company
with woman, represented to be my
wife, ask to be received at any hotel in
the city of Louisville or elsewhere; that
at no time or place and under no circum-
stances whatever have been refused ad-
mission to any hotel in Louisville
or elsewhere on account of any
actual or assumed relation to any
woman or turned out of any hotel in
| Louisville or elsewhere. on account of
any actual or assumed relation to any
woman.
without qualification, prononce the
whole story as base and baseless talsi-
hcation made with intention to driyc
the Democrats in Ashland district from
supporting me, and who are determined
that district shall not be dishonored."
The women are all over Breckinridge's
district today urging voters out tor to-
morrow's primaries. Their presence is
having much to do do with preventing
a fight. Ballots have been printed and
distributed. The election officers have
been notified of their duties from head.
quarters, checks have been cashed and
money divided and sent through the
district. The best work ON election day,
on all sides, will be done in this city.
The prospects are that it will be give
and take the day long. There does not
seem to be any chance for fraudulent
voting or false counting. as each candi-
date has representative as election
officer. The best politicians are behind
Breckenridge, and all OF the known
methods for vote making are being en-
ploycd by them. They are working as
though il were a matter OF life or death
and conccdc that the influence of the
ladies IS their greatest difficulty.

CHICAGO TACKLED BY TOM.
The Man From Maine Exposes Democratic
Fallacies in the Windy City.
He Pictures the Condition of the Country
and Punctures Democratic Assertions.

Tom Reed spoke in Chicago Saturday
night. In part he said: Your present
knowledge has not been gained by word
of mouth. 1t has come to you by that
want and suffering which comes in civil
lied communities when we are unable to
enjoy the blessings to which we have
been accustomed. Let me give you the
consolation that if that knowledge came
to you hard it will say with you long.
1t seems that for the last 80 years tie
Republican orators have been giving you
arguments founded upon wisdom and
fraught with the good sense of this
world. Nevertheless, those arguments,
sound and solid as they were, must seem
very trivial compared with those to
