CHINESE BOYS COMING.
To Be Educated in American Ways
and Learn Trades.

New York, March 31.-Some time in
May Rev K. K. Hule, whose Chinese
name is HuIe Kin Kwang, will arrive
in this city conveying thirty-five Chi
nese boys, each one about 10 years of
age. They are coming with the con-
sent of the Emperor of China and the
favor of this government. The boys
are all from the province of Kwang
Tung.
They are coming to train their hands
and eyes as well as their brains. It is
proposed to develop them into civil en-
gineerS, mechanical engineers, cleo
tricians. constructors of railways and
TO thoroughly and practically instruct
them in various trades
The boys are coming by way of San
Francisco and the Southern Pacific, and
all arrangements have been consum-
mated in Hong Kong and Canton to en-
able them to come through smoothly.
The Presby terrain board of missions
has had this practical undertaking in
view for long time. The boys will re-
cefve their preparatory education at
the Presbyterian school. They
are the sons of wealthy parents, who,
realizing the necessity of adopting
western methods to enable China to
cope with her neighbors, have adopted
this means of laying a foundation for
the new order of things.

FOR THE AUDITORIUM.
A New Plan to Build a Big
Hall
That May Be Engineered by the
Commercial Club.
The Club to Be Organized on New
Plan, if the Membe Are Will
ing, Which Will Insure the
Erection of $4,000
Auditorium.

There will be special meeting of the
Commercial club tomorrow evening
when the auditorium question will be
discussed and some definite action proba-
bly, taken. The official call reads that
the meeting is for the purpose of hear
ing the report of the committee to select
quarters for the club. 1t is, however, of
mnch more important nature.
J. H. Durham, who is chairman of the
committee, will make a report which
may startle some of the mem bers, but he
thinks that it is practical and is The only
way out of what appears very serious
question.
MIR. Durham and the committee will
report in favor of making reorganiza-
ton of the Commercial club with shares
of $1,000 each, and each member must
own at least one share. The committee
thinks that fifty men can be induced to
Join the Commercial club and take stock
and with this fund of $4,000 audi
torium capable of seating at least 5000
people will be built. In the auditorium
will be the permanent quarters of the
Topeka Commercial club and the rooms
of the secretary.
This will be the report of the commit
tee, and while it is by no means certain
that the report of the committee will be
acceptable to the club, the plan is one
which affords the most promising hope
of an auditorium in Topeka which shall
be credit to the city and the state
In speaking about the plan to a JOUR-
NAL reporter, MIR. Durham said:
II feel as if an auditorium can be
built in the way suggested and such a
scheme would do more to make the Com
mercial club effective than anything. BY
that means the auditorium would belong
to the club and with the men behind the
project who make up the membership of
the Commercial club the project would
be assured aud Topeka would
have an auditorium capable of taking
care of a gathering of any size from a
visiting delegation from a peighboring
town to q delegation of 5000 people.
There are numerous entertainments
that come to Topeka which would be
glad to use such an auditorium. Grand
opera companies could go into the audi
forum and make more money at 81 a
seat than they would in an opera house
at So and l am satisfied that it could be
made to pay.
"This is what Topeka needs more than
any other one thing, and it seems to me
that with the plan which will be sug
gested by the committee the city could
be assured an auditorium and the Com
mercial club could secure standing and
own a building which would be a good
thing for the club and the city"
Mr. Durham thinks that the double
liability may be avoided by organizing
in some other state where there is no
double liability clause.
President Davis, of the Commercial
club, also favors the plan which will be
reported by the committee, and Mr.. Dun
ham says that he has little doubt that
there will be no difficulty in securing fifty
men in Topeka willing to take stock in
such a project and see that an auditorium
is built because it is an important public
necessity.

can be cut in half, not sliced, or the
wings can be served with whatever
meat clings to them.
1t is sometimes we'll in detaching the
legs or wings of poultry to follow diff
ferent plan. Lay the bird side down on
the dish and hold it firm with the knife,
bending the leg back with the fork.
Then the joint can be easily cut through,
and SO the whole leg detached from the
body. In slicing off the breast the fork
should be firmly thrust into the breast
bone, and the farther side from the car
yer should be attacked first.
A filet of beef presents no difficulties
whatsoever, as it is absolutely impossi-
BILE to go wrong. If the dish is larded,
the pieces of lard should be inserted
crosswise. Then, as the slices are cut off
q bit of the Harding will fall to each per-
son IS share. Tie foregoing helpful hints
are from an exhaustive and illustrated
article on carving which originally ap-
peared in the New York Herald. In the
first cut here presented is shown tur
key with the leg loosened, but not re-
moved. The breast is sliced. The second
cut illustrates a duck, the breast of
which has been removed in its entirety.

grow thick toward the end or vanish
away into nothingness long before the
time when they should, or the fork en-
counters bone where bones ought not to
be. In short, there is no royal road to
learning how to carve any more than in
learning geometry, and the man who
thinks himself a born carver had better
get right down to first principles if he
wants any one else to think him one.
First there must be sharp knife. Fol-
lowing close is knowledge of the anat-
omy of the animal whose meat you in
tend to carve. One turkey is made on
the same plan as another. Legs of NUT
ton do not develop new bones just for
the carver's benefit, nor is it in the ma
ture of roast beef to throw out osseous
ramiications where before they were
not. A little knowledge on this very
important point would be a great gain.
Of all the meats which do present any
difficulties to the carver roast beef pre-
sents fewest. When it comes from the
oven, it should be placed on the dish
ribs down. If there is a great deal of
fat on the top, some of it should be re-
moved. Indeed trimming is a good
thing to do in the case of all roasts, for
the fat grows hard on top and is only
an unnecessary hindrance. Put the fork
firmly in the meat about two inches
from the knife. Let it slant slightly so
as not to prick the meat any more than
is necessary, as thereby much Of the
juice is lost. Press evenly and firmly on
the knife as it is drawn toward you, for
that makes the chief cut. The knife
should not be drawn back and forth
more than three times. If the slices are
to be very thin. as they should be if
the roast is only one course in a long,
heavy dinner, six or seven slices is only
a fair allowance to rib. Otherwise
four is the usual number.
Some persons have very bad habit
of cutting slices from both sides of the
roast. But it is a very poor plan, spoil
ing the appearance of the dish and caus-
ing the meat to dry up. Always keep on
one side of the roast and cut we'll down
to the bones, being very careful not to
leave a wasteful layer Of meat upon
them.
When it comes to the carving of poul-
try and game, the wings and legs are
apt to prove insuperable obstacles They
need not even be detached before cary
ing the breast. A skillful turn of the
knife will separate them from the body,
and when the breast is all carved they
can be easily cut off. In serving turkey
a piece of the white and piece Of the
dark meat should be put on each plate,
unless, of course, certain preferences are
known The turkey breast should be
sliced, the legs and wings cut at each
joint.
The breast of canvasback duck should
be detached entire from the body, as it is
the only delicate part. If more than two
portions have to be served, the breast

St. Louis Parties Declare that Rev. E.

Central Church of Christ of that city.
He went to Wichita an entire stranger

The dispatch further states that
Rev. Mr.. Wiley is denying some OF

If Mr. Wileys friend was with him

also with Mr. Wiley in an Olive street
saloon. An affidavit from either Mr.

TEAR MORTON'S PHOTO.
Brooklyn Republicans Jeer at His

New York. March 31.-There was a
bad outbreak against Gov. Morton all

Abraham Lincoln Republican club in
Brooklyn Saturday night. Gov. Nor

frame. but now the picture has been
torn into shreds, and the frame has

During the meeting the Raines law
was freely discussed. Every member
spoke against it, and as the debate
progressed the members became bit
ter in their denunciation of ex-Sen-
ator Platt for forcing the bill through
the legislature and of Gov. Morton for
signing It. Many unkind things were
said of Gov. Morton and his presiden-
tial aspirations, and at last one menu

ABOUT THE TT. HAYS BILL.
Too Many Cooks Spoil the Broth in
this Case as in Others.

From The State Journals Special Cor.
Washington, March 31.-The Fort
Hays military reservation bill might
have been passed long ago if the per-
sons in charge of it had gumptiOn.
Because they have been fooling around
and dilly dal1ying the bill has lain in
the House with a favorable report for
months without being called up.
The history of the bill in the house
is this: Representative Baker was the
first to introduce the bill and get it
before the committee. Congressman
Blue then thought that being the rep
resentative of the whole state of Kan
sas' it would not do to let a Populist
get bill through so he introduced one.
When the committee on public lands
came to report the bill favorably it
was found that there was an error in
Bakers bill, the words Estate Normal
institute" being used instead of state
Normal School" Congressman Curtis,
who was then a member of the public
lands committee was therefore ordered
to report the bill which was correct,
which proved to be Mr.. Blues.
After the favorable report was made
Congressman Blue agreed to let Con-
gresham Baker call it up. But it ap-
pears that Mr.. Blue regrets this now
and wants to have all the glory him
self. BUT although ne QOeSn wait
Mr. Baker to do it he can never get
around to it himself. He fuses around
and talks a great deal about it but
never gets to it.
Congressman Baker has been to
see Speaker Reed to get him to rec
ognize him several times, but the
speaker put him off saying the bill
was apt to take up considerable
time. This was some time ago, how
ever, and just the other day Speaker
Reed when asked about the bill,
said: ct don't know of any reason
why that bill should not be called up
if the men in charge of it would only
agree about it and do it" That is to
say he would recognize either Blue or
Baker if they would quit gee-hawing.
Blue evidently wants to put it off to
keep Baker from getting the credit.
Oyer in the senate Senator Baker
has a FortRays bill which is lying in
the public lands committee and has
been ever since congress met. Sena-
tor Baker hasn't been near the COM
mittee to have it called up and acted
on and so it has been pushed to the
rear by the bills of other senators
who go to the committees personal
ly and look after their bills.
