CoNsTANTINOpLE, May 19.-There was
sudden and unexpected change in tho
political situation shortly before noon.
Russia quietly showed her hand and
thereby forced Germany and Turkey
out of the game, to all intents and pur-
poses. Turkey-supported by Germany
was practically defying Russia,
France, Austria, Great Britain and
Italy, insisting upon the annexation Of
Thessaly in addition to huge war i'll

Direct Appeal to the Sultan
to order his troops to cease hostilities
and arrange Ell armistice, and this,
coupled with the fact that most serious
results would have ensued if Turkey
had persisted in her defiant attitude,
brought about the present state of af-
fairs.
Tewtik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, called upon the dean
of the diplomatic corps, Baron Won
Calico, to convey to the foreign minis
tiers the sultan decision to arrange an
armistice.
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated directly be-
tween Turkey and Greece.

will have an opportunity to hear an
other of the worlds noted singers, Nine.
Genevera JohnstoneIBishop, who, by
many leading music critics, is given
first place among oratorio sopranos OF
the present day.
The demand for her services as So
prano soloist at the leading great music
festivals and gatherings in Europe, as
well as in this country, is evident at
least, and the press of both countries is
uniformly intense in her praise.
While Nine. Bishops fame is more
generally referred to in the field of
orotorio music, her rendition of dra-
matte and lyric selections wherever
given. apears to be received with equal
favor and unstinted approval. 1t will
be mostly in this realm that Nine.
Bishop will be heard this evening, and
probably the number on the programme
that will receive most eager attention
will be the aria from the new opera
LIE Cid" which has Just sprung into
great popular favor throughout the
Eastern world, but has not to the pres

Miss Nellie Cook, a pianist from the

THE COOKING CLASS.
1t Deserves Better Patronage Than 1t
Has Received

This afternoon at $50 there will be
another free lesson at the cooking
school, conducted by Miss Tracy in
Pythian Castle. The subject will be
''Breads-Vienna Rolls, Parker House
Rolls, Sticks and Coffee Cake.
The class was organized on the
pledges of ladies in this city, some of
whom We're indignant when asked to
pay a deposit, stating that their word
was sufficient.
The Young WOmen'S Christian AS
ISOLATION furnishes employment to
many girls and women each month,
and there have been so many incom-
petentS who have made applicat ton
that they have felt that domestics
needed training in this line. The as
ISOLATION has been to much trouble and
expense in organizing the school, and
unless the women of Sacramento rally
to its support the school viii close with
such a heavy Indebtedness that it will
have to be met at personal sacrifice.
In order to place the remainder of the
course within the reach of every one
the Board Of Managers has decided to
make the following offer: The balance
of the course of eight lessons for 81 90,
not including membership tickets.
There are forty members of the school
in attendance, but in order to meet the
necessary expense the class must in
crease to at least sixty. Although most
are young women, there are several
elderly ones in the class, and one little
girl of II years, whose mother is in
the last stages of consumption and has
no one else to prepare the meals Tor
the family. The child takes notes with
as much dignity and intelligence as
her elders.
There are other cases just as needy,
and those philanthropically inclined
could not invest their money to better
advantage than to help young girls to
a position to earn their own liveli-
hood, for every good cook is in de-
mand.
Next week there will be an evening
for the gentlemen, who may be for
tunate enough to have friends in the
class, when an opportunity will be
given to sample the articles cooked.
Also. one lesson on invalid cooking. In
every home sickness comes sooner or
later, and few know what to cook,
much less how to cook it.
It will be to the shame of Sacramento
if she allows these women to close the
class with an Indebtedness, when even
small towns support large classes. Miss
Tracy has just closed an engagement
at Santa Rosa with a class of seventy.
The attendance yesterday was some
what larger, and it is to be hoped that
the free lesson to-day will interest a
still larger audience. One business
man was heard to say that he felt
doubly repaid already for the course by
the dishes his wife had prepared since
joining the class.
