Something is wrong, maintains the
American Agriculturist, when straw
berries cost consumers in New York
and Nsw England cities from ten to
fifteen cents per quart, whilo the pro-
ducer in Jersey and on the Delaware
peninsula only nets from two to four
cents per basket. It does seem as
though this condition of affairs went
from badto worse as the years roll on.
The more perishable the fruit the
greater seems to be the cost OF fhandling
and selling it.

PREPARING TIE PICNIC RAM.

One of the important kitchens du.
ties at this season is the preparation
of extra dainties for picnic parties, and
there are few housewives who escape
This rather doubtful pleasure during
,the picnicking season. The bill OF fare
may be varied indeiiniteiy i5ut-one-esSS
the indispensables of the picnic DIM
ner is the cold ham. Various sugges-
tions concerning the best methods OF
boiling the ham whole will be found
among the recipes of the practical
housewife, but few seem familiar with
this plan of baking it, which was pro.
nounced most satisfactory on recent
picnic occasion.
It does not take cal day. to cook
the ham whole wnen baked, and some
may find it more convenient than
boiling in q bag. Trim the ham care
fully, saw off the bone which rrotrudes
on the flesh side, wash we'll, tnd rinse
thoroughly in clean, hot water, and
wipe dry. Make still dough OF corn
meal and cold water; cake it an inch
thick all over the skin OF tne nam.
Place some clean sticks of some taste
less wood across a large baking pan;
put the ham in the pan, resting it on
the sticks SO that it will not touch the
bottom. Then place the pan in hot
oven, and after it is in the oven, pour
into the par mot on the hamt enough
water to cover the sticks. Bake slowly
for five or six hours, or longer, accord
ing to the size of the ham. When done
take the pan from the oven, place tho
ham on a dish, and remove the corn
bread cover, and let the ham become
perfectly cold before beginning to
slice it. The clear grease which re:
mains in the pan should be poured OF
while hot, and allowed to harden, to
be used as other clear drippings for
frying purposes. Home Queen,

CRITICISE THE AWARD.
Society of Washington Artists on tho
Sherman Statue.

meeting of considerable Importance
was held last night by the Society of WASH
ingtcn Artists, presided over by u. s. J.
Dunbar, vice president Considerable dis
satisfaction was expressed in regard to the
action of the military committee charged
with the selection of q model for the statue
of Gen. Sherman in overriding, as was
stated, the recommendations and judgment
Of the committee of artists. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted reciting that
although several eminent sculptors and
architects Of high professional and per-
scnal character were requested to judge
the reiRtive merits of the models for the
statue submitted in competition, yet the
committee of the Army of the Tennessee
had ignored and reversed the judgment of
putting an affront on the artists them
selves, as well discouraging the move
n,ent for reform in the character and man.
Ter of selection of public works of art.
The resolutions further declare that the
substitution of other names for those Sc
lected for the final competition by the COM
mittee of artists has done personal injus-
tice, and as a result, in the opinion of the
Washington society, men of ability with
out special influence will in the future be
deferred from entering such competitions.
A question which has been discussed since
the Organization of the society was settled
at last nights meeting, when 1t was de-
cided that women should be eligible to
membership. Several will be admitted at
once The annual exhibit of oils, water
colors, Dastels and sculpture will be held
the first week in March in the hall of the
Cosmos Club.

eral director of the southern educational
campaign, under the democratic national
committee at New York, in the campaign
of 1892, of which Mr.. Whitney was mem
ber published a communication and had 1t
extensively circulated in the southern and
eastern states. Mr.. Whitney's name was
not mentioned in McAllister's manifesto
but it has been understood by those close
to him that it was a move in the interest
of Whitney for President. 1t has taken
definite form in the last few days by the
circulation of calls in different parts Of the
state, which were numerously signed, urg-
ing upon Whitney to enter the race. One
of these calls was yesterday circulated in
both houses of the legislature, and ma
jority signed it. Today they propose to is
sue an address to the country, setting forth
the Importance of concessions as basis of
harmony in the democratic party, the i'm
portance of winning the new national
election, Whitney's availability, etc., and
formally calling upon him to allow his

THE HOME MISSIONS MEETING
The President Will Be Glad to Preside on
That Occasion.
He Has keenly Felt the Criticisms Of
Religious Bodies Upon His Course
to Foreign Matters.

While it is doubtless true that there will
be no politics in the Home Missions meet
ing, at which President Cleveland will pre-
side In New York city next mon tn, the oc-
casion will yet possess far more than ordi-
nary religious interest and Significance.
The Presidents pleasure at being present,
there are excellent grounds for stating, will
be unusually keen. His acceptance of the
invitation WAS very prompt and the ad-
dress he will deliver will show not only
sympathy with all nilsson work, but great
care in its general tone
Sensitive to Criticism.
Mr.. Cleveland, it is said, has for some
time been sensitive on the subject of crit
icism that has been leveled at him by re-
ligious bodies throughout the country re-
speeding foreign affairs. In the Hawaiian
matter he was charged with outright oppo-
sition to Christian progress and civiliza-
ton. The friends of the monarchy laid
the whole blame of the queens overthrow
to the labors of the missionaries and their
supporters, and yet Mr. Cleveland sided
with the queen, and tried to re-establish
her throne. The religious bodies of Amer
lea thought that an extraordinary decision
on his part.
The Armenian Resolutions.
Quite as severe comment has been heard
on his action in the matter Of the Armenian
resolutions passed by Congress He has held
them up-is still holding them up. Some
men of political eminence sustain him in
this upon the ground that such certification
to European powers about European ques-
ton would be unwise, and maybe harmful.
But the churches unanimously disapprove
of his course. They see but the one propo-
sition, and that the helplessness of a people
under persecution for their Christian belief;
and this leads them 20 insist that the best
and most aggressive offices Of this govern
ment ought to be eXerted in the premises.
Significance of His Position.
That Mr.. Cleveland will use his place
presiding officer of the home missions meet
| ing to enter into personal defense of him.
| self is not even remotely suggested or ex-
pected. He will appear as the President OF
| the United States, one of the two great
| Christian powers of the world, to testify
| In his official capacity to the very great
| interest felt by this country in the spread
of Christian influences everywhere. But,
as is plainly pointed out, the fact that this
| appearance will take place at time when
| Christian influences are everywhere in the
| balance-in Hawaii, in Armenia, in Ven
ezuela, in the Transvaal, and most notably
| in Cuba-will he one of wide significance,
| and the honor necessarily one of much per-
| sonal comfort TO Mr.. Cleveland himself.

Alexandria and Jackson City policy shops

poor people in this city fills the Golfers of
these gambling dens. The business of
writing policy has revived in this city, and
the people who put in the nickels, dimes
and pennies are chiefly those who live in
alleys, and who have to call upon the police
and charitable institutions for assistance.

police interference, probably for the reason
that strangers were in the business and the
officers did not know them. Horace Brown,
a colored man, who has been in the bust

noting policy, he entered plea of guilty,
