Cooking Schools Abroad.

There are probably $50 schools for
cooking in Germany and Austria, the
best Of which are at Vienna Berlin and
Leipsic. A man who wishes to become
a chef must begin at the very bottom of
the ladder-at peeling potatoes-and
work up round by round, to the top. A
course Of schooling as strict as that OF
any polytechnic school in this country,
must be followed for four years before
the student can get diploma. Every
year competitive exhibitions are given. In
which as many as two hundred chefs
take part. The chef who was employed
at the White House by Grover Cleve-
land during his first term has a gold
medal which was presented to him by
the Empress Frederick for excellence in
cooking. silver medal given by the
King Of Saxony a diploma from the
Empress of Austria, and numerous 9TH
er marks Of appreciation and honor won
In competitive contests in coking.

THE FIRST OF MAY.

New York may well be proud OF her
workingmcn and women. The times are
hard for labor. There has been unusual
suffering during the Winter. Employ
ment has been scarce. Hunger has been
general Yet the first day OF May, "A sort
of International Labor Day, saw more
than ten thousand toilers. men and
women, young and old assemble in
Union Square after a parade through the
streets, and not a single Anarchist flag
to be seen; not word uttered to tempt
to lawlessness or disorder; not an unruly
demonstration made; not an arrest by
-. police
Such n splendid demonstration as that
os yesterday, splendid In it's numbers,
splendid In It's intelligence, splendid in
it's respect for law and order. may well
incite our authorities to do all In their
power to advance the interests OF labor
and to promote It's Just and reasona-
bic demands.
Not this city alone, but the whole
country may indeed be proud OF its toll
ing population. Even the CoXey affair
in Washington proves the safety OF our
institutions and the law-abiding charac-
ter of our people. Where else In the
world could such a demonstration have
occurred without entailing bloodshed and
lot?
The workingmen OF America are the
ountrys best safeguard against An

TIP MAY Be KILLED.
The MANI Elephant Must
Reform or Die.
Given a Respite Of a Week In Which
to Become Gentle.

The Park Board at its meeting to-day
discussed q proposition to kill Tip, the
man-killing elephant. which was pre-
sented to the Central Park menagerie
by Forepaugh.
Tip has a record OF killing eight men,
and he has made several attempts to
add to his victims since he has been in
captivity at the Park.
1t turned out at the meeting that Tip
made second attack on Keeper Sny-
der recently. and that Snyder had mar
row escape from death. This induced
Director Smith. OF the menagerie, to
recommend to the Board that the VIC
ious brute be killed
Commissioner Clausen said that Tip
was q splendid specimen of the pachy-
derm species, He thought his ugly be-
havior was caused by being chained for
three years In his stall. on the other
hand, the dead Tip would be a valuable
acquisition to the collection OF stuffed
animals in the Museum OF Natural
History.
The Commissioners finally decided to
grant Tip a respite for n week. In the
menatime they will consult experts to
find out whether some way cannot be
devised to curb the beasts temper. II
he can be made TO behave, his life will
be spared.

A PLAIN ISSUE.

The Congressional election In the Third
Ohio Distric yesterday resulted, after a
very thorough and well-fought campaign,
In the success Of Paul ]. Sorg, the Dem
ocratic candidate. over e. G. Rathbone,
President H4risons Fourth Assistant
Postmaster-Gneral, by about 1000 plu-
rality.
The election b the most significant held
since 1882. because the Issue was purely
and solely between Mckinley protection
and tariff reform as represented by the
Wilson bill. without any extraneous sub
ject OF contention. 1t was n genuine
tariff fight and victory for reform.
Mckinley carried the district last Fall
by about 900 plurality.
The Democratic Senators at Washington
who are triring with their party princi-
pies. with their Obligations to the people
and with the best interests OF the coun-
try. may learn lesson from this cleo
tion In the heart OF McKlnleyism.
The Revolution against High Protec-
tion for Corporations Trusts and Monop-
olies will not go backward.

B0NNETs AND BALLOTS.

The Albany women have entered the
field on the Issue of woman suffrage, and
array themselves in opposition to the
suffragists. But the reasons they give
for their action are novel and open
new field OF discussion.
They oppose giving the ballot to women
on the ground that 1t would increase the
temptation to buy votes. They believe
that the less Intelligent. women voters
would sell their votes more readily than
men do and at a lower figure.
This proposition will not pass without
criticism An egg man." 1t Is well
known, Is satisfied with dollar for his
vote II he can get no more. What he
covets Is enough money to get few

A woman's idea would certainly be
more liberal or extensive. Her frat
thought would be to turn her ballot into
bonnet. and this certainly could not
be done except at n greater expense than
Tammany captain Is accustomed TO
incur In the purchase of his boarding
house heelers.
The Albany argument Is not as honor
able TO the women engaged in It as that
put forth by their Brooklyn sisters. The
latter contend that woman suffrage is
wrong because II takes the wife and
the mother away from her more becom-
ing and more useful home duties They
argue that the home circle becomes
woman more than the political ring.
The Albany women believe that II the
