AMERICAS MOST FAMOUS COOK.
Mrs. Rorer's Preparation for the
Work in Which She is Supreme.

Mrs. TalcOtt Williams, writing Of
THE Most Famous Cook in America" !"
Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in the Ladies Home
Journal" says: Sarah Tyson Heston,
the daughter Of Dr. Charles Tyson Hes
ton, was born in Bucks County, Pa,
in October, 1S49. When she was about
year old her parents removed to
Buffalo, n. Y, where her father be-
came a successful manufacturing
chemist, and where, as a little girl, she
developed a child's aptitude and inter
est in her fathers daily work She
grew up in his laboratory gaining a
working knowledge of chemical meth
DDS. Her father led the way in many
food experiments. After spending sew
eral years at a private school in Buff
falo, Sarah Heston went. at the age of
II, to Aurora, n. Y, where she took
a five years scientific course, devoting
much time to chemistry Returning to
Buffalo she was graduated from a fin
ishing school, after studying for three
years. During all this time she had
shown much fondness for, and skill in,
cooking. When II years old she took
a prize for a loaf of bread and a loaf
of sponge cake at a Western New York
County Fair.
DIR. Heston responded to Lincoln s
first call for three months men, and
remained in the service until the end
of the war, returning with sha ttered
health. The personal care for ten years
of her invalid father, who required the
most delicate and digestible food, was
Mrs. Rorer's unconscious preparation
for her life work. Cooking is often a
mere matters of receipts, and too sell
dom based on principles 1t deals with
details and offers no explanation of
causes, hut the training Mrs. Rorer
had received from her father, a physi-
clan and practical chemist, gave this
important and frequently omitted in
struction. In 1869 the Heston family
went to Philadelphia to live, and the
following year Sarah Tyson was mar
| ried to w. A. Rorer. and has since that
time made Philadelphia her home.
There her two sons We're born. The
eldest one, w. A. Rorer, Jr, was sent
to the University of Berlin to be flied
for work as translator The younger
one, James b., is a student at Harvard
College. The only daughter died in
infancy"

As the Smoke Clears.

The results of Tuesdays elections are
now beginning TO be known with accuracy.
They are worth brief recapit ulation, as in
dicating that the cause of republicanism
and sound money though suffering loss of
prestige has not received such a disastrous
setback in definite. practical and immedi-
ate results as was suggested by the first
returns The most serious assault against
that cause comes from the verdicts rem
dered in Kentucky and New York In the
former state the free silver democrats have
won an unimportant Office and a few NUM-
cpalities but their chief gain has been in
confidence and prestige. The votes cast
Tuesday foreshadow the election of a free
silver man to the Senate in place of the
gold democrat who now represents Ken
lucky. Thus one item scores for silver
In New York the republicans have lost the
municipal machinery In the great metropo-
lis. This Ii a serious blow.
These are the substantial fruits from the
national standpoint Of the democratic vic
tory of Tuesday. The republicans have
held their own in such strongholds as
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,. just as
the democrats have sustained themselves
In Virginia But they have also kept from
the democratic grasp the state of Ohio and
the senatorship from that state, which

This is indeed the only positive gain for
either party in the sense of Immediate
benefits on a national basis. The ultimate
meaning of the overturning in Maryland
seems to be that this state will go repub-
hcan in the next presidential election, just
as Kentucky will probably go democratic.
In Kansas there are signs of republican
gains. In South Dakota the cause Of pop
uiism Is rebuked. Iowa maintains her allie
glance to the republican party, while In
Colorado the radical free silver element
does not appear to have more than sus-
tanned itself. Nebraska remains true to

Blowing Hot and Cold.

The only reason advanced in court TODAY
by the receiver for the Belt Railway Com
pany against the proposed sale of that road
In satisfaction of a mortgage was the allie
cation that the road is about to be equipped
with air motors, permission to this end
having been granted by the District Com
n;ssioners. Aside from the business en-
tanglements that now involve the Belt road
and from all the merits of the pending con-
troversy concerning the bonds, this state
ment is worthy CT brief attention as bear
ing upon the shrewdness with which this
entire air motor project is manipulated.
When pressed for action in the line Of the
equipment of the lexington and Belt roads
with compressed air the receiver alleges
that he needs pipe lines for the MAIN
tenance of the system and pleads that the
Commissioners are unwilling to grant the
necessary permit. When the sale of the
Belt line is threatened as a result of the
road-wrecking policy of his principals the
receiver alleges that he is about to equip
the road with compressed air, ignoring the
refusal of the Commissioners to grant the
pipeline permit and intimating that the
equipment is possible and imminent regard
less of the lack of pipe lines. 1t Is another
phase of the attitude so often assumed Of
utilizing the law for every purpose but that
for which it was enacted. Agreement with
the spirit Of the statute serves the purpose
of today. while tomorrow it may be equally
important for the receiver to take decided
issue with the plain intent of the act that
demanded a rapid transit equipment Of
these two roads without unnecessary delay.

Mr.. Bryan on the Result.

MIR. Bryan sees in Tuesdays returns in
creased hope for the free coinage of silver
at 10 to /. and argues the case with char
acteristic shrewdness. He points out that
the republicans in their platforms Endorsed
the administration, but that he people at
the polls did not ratify the 1eliverances
That means, as he believes, that the people
are turning from the sound money policy
to the free silver policy. He likewise be-
heves that the failure of the wolcot- com
mission will operate in silvers behalf in
this country. UnquestionabIy. the Nebras-
ka leader was in very comfortable frame
OF mind yesterday.
Mr.. Bryan speaks. of course, with the en-
thusiasm of a winner, but, all the same, 1t
will be well enough for the friends Of sound
money to consider what he says Silver
was undoubtedly an issue in this years
contests, and Mr.. Bryan was as aggressive
in advocacy of it as he was last year. More
ever, wherever his personal presence was
felt the situation seems to have been af-
fected IN silver'S interests. The silver lead
ers. growing a little uneasy in Kentucky,
invited him there, and they have carried
the state by a large majority. He closed
the silver campaign in Ohio, and the re-
publicans had an exceedingly close call.
The fusion forces in his own state of Ne
braska, where his personal fortunes were
most distinctly at stake, increased their lead
Under his direction even over the figures of
last year Virginia goes for silver AMI for
his continued national leadership by an
overwhelming majority.
All of this justifies to the fullest Mr.. Bry-
ans haunting assertion that the silver ia
sue Is not dead He is entirely right about
that 1t lacks a great deal of being dead.
1t may not possess the strength with which
Mr.. Bryan accreditS 1t, but it is live issue
and needs to be watched. This does not
seem to be the view taken in certain sound
money localities, where the sound money
forces are dividing up, and are hammering
one another as if no common cause would
ever again be presented, but nevertheless,
what confronted the country last year still
confronts the country, and can only again
be beaten by an organization rs srrons and
as courageous as was the sound money
organization of last year.
As for Mr.. Bryan himself. while silver re-
mains the national issue he will remain sal
ver's national leader. The place is easily
his, not only by virtue of 5ervicss rendered,
but by virtue of superior capacity for con-
Quoting campaign.

The Defeat of Mr.. German.

The people of Maryland, irrespective of
party are to be congratulated on that
portion of Tuesdays result which insures
the retirement of Mr.. German as a party
boss in that state. The movement to that
end has been consistent, courageous, and
wholly justified. and 1t has richly deserved
the success achieved.
Mr.. German amorg the bosses has been
TO ordinary boss man of smooth and
agreeable exterior; winning in his deport-
ment, and amiable when IL accords with
his purposes: of long experience and wide
acquaintance in politics; shrewd in calcul.l-
ton, ard tireless in pursuit of any object,
he has striking equipment for public life
and its responsibilities. Had he used his
gifts for the best ends, for unselfish ends,
he might have made himself irresistible in
Maryland during his lifetime. But. instead.
he has pursued the opposite course; mas
played the boss continually. and repeatedly
along very low levels; has made his name
synonymous with selfishness and mere ma
Chinery, until at last, deserted and OPP
posed by those men of his party who.
through conscience. put the good name and
interests of the state above the mere reg
ularity of partisan procedure, he goes
down in hir third successive defeat and has
doubtless ended his career as a party boss.
Appropriately enough, too, there disap-
pears along with him the man who. for
years has been his chief of staff, and who
by practices notorious and altogether rep
reheEsibe was for twenty years an instru-
ment of outrage in the city of Baltimore.

been well rounded out had 1. Freeman
Raisin failed to get his just, but long-de-
leyed. due.
