The members of the committee whose lected Hon. H. H. Brown to meet and subdue the silver orator at East Lake could not have made better choice. MT. Browns address was calm, clear digni- fed and forceful It was plain that he knew what he wanted to say. and was familiar with the best means of saying 1t. He went straight to every point, cov- cred every inch of ground, frankly admit ted that he did not place himself above party, but in any case would support the candidate whom Democracy signed with her seal. Such are the utterances of a man, a Democrat by excellence. The choice was one of signal wisdom.

Cooks who Won't Eat Their Own
Dishes.

The fact that cooks rarely have any
appetite for the food Of their own pre-
pairing is illustrated nightly at a we'll
known uptown chop house. There
may be found the chef and several
Of the assistant chefs Of Of the
first hotels in New York. These men
a have anything they want from the
kitchens in which they are employed
free of cost. The greatest luxuries of
the market are at their disposal, and
Furthermore they know that every
thing Is beyond reproach- The kitch-
ems are supplied with all the latest
improvements. and are so clean and
appetiZing that visitors are taken
through them. AS for the cooking.
the fact that many of the best known
gourmets Of the city have forsaken
their old resorts for this one Is ample
recommendation Yet the men who
are responsible for all this go nightly
to a simple chop house where they
have TO pay the same as other custom
ers for their suppers. The chef gave
this explanation:
when one is constantly surrounded
by food stuffs he gets tired of the
sight of them IL is so with any other
business. 1t is all right while you are
at IL, but when your work Is done
you want to get away from IT. We
come here to forget our work, and to
eat things we have not seen or hand.

PRussIAN LAW AND LONG SKIRTS.
The Deputies Debate Dress Trains
and Measures Against Them.

The Deputies Debate Dress Trains
and Measures Against Them.
The Prussian Government promised
the PrussIan Deputies two weeks ago
to consider the expediency OF forbid
ding women TO wear trains on the pub
lie promenades. The subject was in
troduced in the House Of Deputy
Count Douglas. Conservative, social
reformer, and intimate friend of the
emperor. The condensed report of the
debate is:
Count Douglas-In view Of the
spread Of infectious diseases i regard
ii as desirable TO direct the govern
ment's attention to the wholesome ac-
ton OF the Meran police in prohibiting
women from wearing trains on public
promenades. i think that public opin-
ion should be aroused on this subject
by the press. Ii is the opinion of all
authorities that street dust is filed
with the germs Of infectious diseases
and that il carries these diseases into
the lungs of the pedestrians. II wom-
en- can once be convinced that when
they sweep the streets with their
skirts they are spreading disease far
and wide, l believe their consciences
will triumph over the tyranny of fash
ionand vanity.
; DIR. Langerhaus, Radical Unionist-I
do not deny that women stir up a pOis-
onous dust in the streets with their
long skirts, and that many bacteria
are thus scattered through the air we
breathe. This is not the main point,
however. The worst of dress trains is
they gather the filth of the streets,
and carry 1t laden with germs Of dis
ease, into the home, the nursery and
the bedroom. Ii is very hard TO con-
quer a fashion. however. Perhaps the
best mean Of counteracting the dan
ger in this S 10 to teach women
that they should carefully cleanse
their street dresses upon returning
from a promenade.
Government Councilorin-Chie Lin
dig. replying for the ministry-I can
assure the gentlemen who have taken
part In this noteworthy discussion
that the cabinet will consider carefully
the suggestions just made. Special
attention shall be given TO the sug-
gestion that the existing police regu-
lations need amendment regarding the
wearing of long skirts in street.
Councillor Lindig's reply has been
hailed with JOY by the dress reformers
Of Berlin. They are living in hope Of
an order against trains from the De-
partment Of the Interior. They think
that the Berlin police ought at least
do as much as the police Of Meran.

shouldcred, with a figure that was
athletic and symmetrical. His hair
was thick and of whi'ish gray,
and he wore it combed back from a
forehead that was not especially
prominent. He was somewhat care
less in his attire, and apparently
paid very little attention to it. He
was a man OF quick temper, and
there are instances on record where
