Cooks of the Future.

A writer in The New England Kitch-
en- is Of tho opinion that the teaching Of
cooking In the future will be in the
hands Of specialists-that is, the work
will be divided into branches. as cook
ing for the sick, the preparing Of meats,
making bread and the like. The writer
further states that "the demand for
teachers Of the household arts seems TO
be greater than the supply. There have
been many calls lately for teachers Of
cookery who are also qualified to teach
sewing and millinery. and good salaries
have been offered, ranging from $500 to

BILLS ON LAST DAY
GOVERNOR LOOKING UP HIS RIGHT
TO SIGN OR VETO THEM.
Asks Acknowledgement for an Opin-
ion-Bills Signed by the Execu-
tive Yesterday.

Governor Matthews yesterday sent COM
munication to the Attorney-general asking
for an opinion to his right to sign or
veto a bill or resolution which reached
him on Monday. the last day of the session
or on Tuesday, the day after the Legisla-
ture had adjourned. He also wanted to
know whether a concurrent resolution
could appropriate money from the State
treasury. The latter inquiry relates to the
resolution disposing of the balance left in
the worlds fair fund, to the fund for the
purchase of a silver service for the battle
ship Indiana. This reached the Governor
on Tuesday afternoon and carries with it
an appropriation of money. There is this
difference between it and an original ap-
preparation, that the money in question had
already been appropriated to the worlds
fair fund and this is a balance which it is
sought by resolution to divert from the
original purpose.
Governor Matthews spent yesterday and
last night upon the bills left for his con-
sideration. He signed Senate Bill 302, legal
izing the town of Leavenworth; Senate res
olution authorizing the Lieutenant Govern
or to appoint commission of three hold
over Senators to investigate the subject Of
convict labor: Senate Resolution "a, granting
the Grand Army of the Republic room
In the Statehouse for headquarters. He
said that not knowing what the purpose Of
Senate Bill 346, legalizing certain real es-
tate additions to cities Is, he would allow
1t to become law without his signature.
said that he had received protests from
nearly 200 citizens against the signing of
the bill, but that he had not yet decided

number of prominent citizens.

SCOTS. also left home. The parents of the
girl and the deserted. wife suspected an
elopement. Their suspicious were verified
yesterday when Miss Mullery returned
home. She said she had been with Scott,
and that he had gone to Pittsburg. The
girl told Superintendent Powell that she
met Scott at the Statehouse the day before
she left home. There they planned the
flight. Scott, she said promised her that
he would get a divorce from his wife and
marry her. The complaint filed by Mrs.
Scott is based on the alleged unfaithfulness
of her husband She AYERS that she has

seek financial assistance from her friends
by reason of his desertion. 1t is said that

ed at church. Thornton picking him out in
the congregation.
"If that detective picked me out of a
big crowd of people, how did he know he
had the right person. asked the prisoner
of Judge Stubbs, after which he went on
to explain:
81 was just in the act of going forward
and having the preacher to pray for few
of my sinful friends, when l was nabbed.
and think my arrest was contrary TO the
Constitution, which gives every man the
right to worship according to his con-
science"
Judge Stubbs took Reeds statements into
consideration and imposed a fine of SIS. to
which was added a sentence of 30 days IN
the Workhouse.

WILL QUIT POLITICS
MAYOR DENNY HAS no THOUGHT OF
RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.
Controller Trus1er VIII he Cnndi-
date for Republican MayorpIty
Nominatfon-Democ Fight

1t was with emphasis that Mayor Denny
said TO a Journal reporter yesterday AFTER
noon:
IT am not candidate for reelection
to this office. and I would not accept II.
I propose to return to the practice of law
and leave politics alone for the present.
Are you thinking OF becoming a canoi-
date for Governor next year,? was asked
him. Mr.. Denny whistled and replied:
"Oh, no. no. no. I have no such thought.
My one ambition now is to regain my law
practice and to settle down to business.
/ have no thought of being candidate 1or
any office. Some time / may conclude to
enter politics again, but right now / am
preparing to quite political life"
The three-cornered fight in the local Dem
ocratic camp for the mayoralty nomination,
described in the Journal yesterday, has de-
veloped in day to that stage where pros
pective candidates announce their willing
ness. John w. Hoffman. whom the brew
ers' syndicate is backing, said yesterday
that Barkis was willing, the high honor
being considered, and public duty ditto.
Tom Taggart, however, has another candi-
date, and he threw political discretion to
the wind when he allowed himself to be
quoted as saying that all indications point
to the nomination of Sterling r. Holt, he OF
Ratchet and wide-open policy fame. Mr.
Taggart added further that he did not know
that was WASH not for Holt Holt. having inaug-
urated the regime which allowed faro banks
to run as Democratic campaign adjuncts,
will stand for the gamblers. On account OF
an old-time political quarrel John p. Fren-
gel will oppose Holt and throw the COM
bined syndicate brewery interests to Holtz-
man. Henry Span spurns the mayoralty
nomination, and the Independent saloon
keepers will have to find another man. The
decent element of Democracy will watch the
battle from afar.
Preston C. Trusler. city controller, will
be candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton. No one has been mentioned as an
opponent of Lee Nixon, who will be a candi-
date for denomination as city clerk.

Clerk Parker to return him his bid, but
Parker would not do it. When the bids
