are still fresh in the minds of MEM
bers of the Presbyterian church, as
well as outsiders. But peace is TO take
the place of strife, and unless something
happens that is unforeseen nor war
nor battles sound" will be heard at the
assembly. Anent this the Interior,
which represents the church, says:
THE prospect now is that the Winona
assembly will win distinction as a de-
votional and a practical assembly. The
indications are that its lips will be
touched with the Goals from off Gods
liar, and that we shall have peace and
joy in the Holy Ghost. The prophecy
of the situation is that a mighty i'm
pulse will be sent from the heart of the
church to its remotest members, and
that we shall enter upon a new era of
conservation, harmony and spiritual
prosperity"
There are to-day more than 100000
men and women in the United States
who are regular communicates in the
Presbyterian church. There are about
1000 Presbyterian pastors. The entire
church is represented at the general as
sembly by a few more than 600 dele
gates. OF these 300 are ministers and an
equal number are elders. They are Sc
lected to go to Winona by the presby-
teries which make up the synod of the
church. Each presbytery is allowed
one ministerial and one lay delegate
for every "a members.
An important subject that may again
be brought up is the proposed union of
the Reformed church with the Presby-
terian. There is no opposition to the
union, SO far as can be learned, on the
part of the Presbyterians. The doc
trines and faith of the Reformed church
in the United States and the Reformed
church in America Dutch Reformed)
are the same as the Presbyterian and by
their union with the larger body of
Calvinists all parties would gain
strength and the total membership of
the Presbyterian church would be in
creased.
Many women are expected to attend
the Winona assembly and the question
Of their admission as lay delegates is
not dead. In fact, there may prove so
strong u sentiment in, favor of it that
it will carry if brought up.

woMAN's HOTEL FOR NEW YORK

dents 1 took all my ideas and sketches
and submitted them to the students at
the league. 1t was not a question of
what wanted, or what Mrs. Fred Van
derbilt might think sensible, or Mr..
Glider might approve. We might all
make good suggestions, but art stu
dents are TO live in the building, and
1 want it to be adapted to the needs, and,
so far as possible, wishes of the women
who are to occupy it.
I'm the same manner l consulted busi-
ness women about a Business Woman's
hotel. L talked with professional wom-
en-, with lawyers, journalists and teach
ers, and modelled the design of an apart
ment house and hotel for them on their
own views of what was most practical
and desirable"
How much such a building as the
Business Woman's hotel is needed in
New York will be understood by any
woman who has ever attempted with
out an escort to get nights lodging
at any respectable hotel in the city. 1t
is an unwritten law that no woman shall
be received unattended, not only in the
hotels, but in the first-class boarding
houses as we'll.
1t sounds outrageous, does it not?
But this custom prevails not only in
New York, but to certain extent in
Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.
If the Business Woman's hotel sue
cessfully copes with this one unmiti-
gated evil in the life of the business
woman, as it assurediy will, it will have
vindicated its right to existence.
Renaissance is the style of architec-
ture suggested for the main body of the
building, with an indication of the Greek
in the pillars and portico of the two
lower stories. The exterior of the ho-
tel, although somewhat resembling the
club building in reality will differ from
1t in every detail of interior design and
construction, aiming, as it does, to meet
the demand of the thousands of profess
sional women desiring to limit expenses
and to gain comfortable and respect
able surroundings for the least expendi-
ture of money. The Club building will
rather aspire to the patronage of the
more luxurious class, who are willing to
pay lavishly for rich surroundings and
the conveniences afforded in the more
sumptuous building
The Business Womans hotel will be
divided into a series of small apart
ments and single rooms. The single
rooans will be arranged in groups of
six, with one parlor and bath for each
group. This arrangement enables each
girl to have her private" parlor one
night in the week, and to have pleas
ant place for reunion on Sundays.

COOKING SMALL FISH.
Mrs. Rorer Tells How to Best Prepnr,
Them for the Table.

Mrs. Rorer Tells How to Best Prepare
Them for the Table.
In the Ladies' Home Journal Mrs. s.
T. Rorer, in telling how to fry the small
fish, quotes the old saying: Small fish
should swim twice-once in water and
once in OIL" "Smelts, trout, whitehall,
perch and catfish" she says, 'are, per-
haps, more palatable fried than broiled,
Small fish may be stripped-that is, the
intestines may be pushed out under the
gills, so that the fish may retain theiI
shape. Wash and dry, then dust with
salt and pepper, dip in egg and roll in
breadcrulnbs, or they may be rolled in
cornmeal. Have ready a good-sized pan
with sufficient oil to cover. Put the
fish in Il frying basket, then into the oil
at temperature of $50 degrees Fahren-
nett, and cook for about five minutes.
Drain on brown paper and serve. Where
a small quantity of fat is used, and the
fish cooked on one side and then turned
and cooked Sa the other, the method
is really not frying-it is sauteing; the
result is much more indigestible than
real frying. Catfish are frequently fried
in this way without being dipped in
crumbs. Sunfish may be rolled in flour
or cornmeal and carefully fried in drip.
ping oil or lard. A mixture of dripping
and lard makes better frying material
than lard alone, A pure vegetable oil
is freer from danger of disease germs
than either. Never use butter for fry
ing fish; it boils at low temperature,
consequently burns quickly; the butyr.
ic acid softens the fiber of the fish, de.
stroys the flavor, and causes it to be-
come soft as soon as taken from the
pan"

was g midshpman as long ago as 1850,
and served for five years on the sloop
Plymouth in the East Indies. While
with the Plymouth he engaged in sew
eral slSirmishes and one battle with the
Chinese army at Shanghai. He came
out of the Naval academy in 1856, and
his career since that time has been a
good one. He was with the frigate
Merrimac as passed midshipman, with
the East India squadron ON board the
Germantown, and in 1859 was promoted
lieutenant. He saw little of the big
rebellion. During the second year of
the civil war he was lieutenant COM
mander on the Nantucket and partici-
pated in the attack of the irouclad fleet
on the Charleston harbor defenses.
Thereafter he cruised about the West
Indies and the coast of Brazil, and as
sisted i'm the capture of the rebel steam
er Florida at Bahai. He was on spe-
cial service with the Wachusett, was
put in command of the captured boat
and brought her safely to Hampton
Roads. He has seen service in East
Indian waters, and since the war has
commanded many vessels. He is con-
sidered one of the shrewdest of the
old-line officers in the navy, and his
promotion to be rear admiral was the
reward of long and faithful service.
He is an old sea dog, and should his
good ship come in contact with any
thing from Japan he is expected to re-
tire with honor from the engagement.

New York Reformer Now Is Assistant
Secretary of the Navy.
Theodore Roosevelt, who has been APP
pointed assistant secretary of the navy,
became a character of national interest
as president of the board of commits
sioners of police of New York city. He
was appointed to this position by the
mayor, and he at once caused intense ex-
citement in the city and throughout the
country by his declaration that the po-
lice force should be as active in sup
pressing vice as it was in suppressing
riots and mobs. He went to work and
found that the police captains in certain
precincts were regularly retained by
disreputables for the protection of
brothels. He secured a Legislative in
vestigating committee and proved his
charges, and during the trial he came
to the front as one of the foremost lead
ers in the cause of municipal reform.
He is an American of American parent
age. The Roosevelts came from Hol-
land in the middle of the seventeenth
century. He is SO loyal to his country
that he may be pardoned the half-grim
and the half-whimsical pride that there
is not drop of English blood in his
veins. His head is square, his brows
straight, his eyes clear and widely set,
and he looks the fighter that his public

Evidence of Civilization.

Another instance of the rapid prog
ress the japanese are making in modern
civilization is shown in the fact that
the native babies have learned TO cry in
the improved American or European
fashion. In the palmy days, before
the Japs had learned so much, their
babies were models of propriety, and
were scarcely ever heard to whimper.
Now they bawl as long and as loudly as
the most civilized infant ever seen.

Burlingame, aged SO, was shot and
probably mortaliy wounded at noon yes
terday at his house on Hampton place
about three miles north of Westfield

shots We're fired, two taking effect. one
in the breast and the other in the alb

wounded man managed to crawl about
half a mile to the house of his nearest
neighbor. Medical aid was summoned
and an examination showed the wounds
to be probably fatal. Chief Of Police
Mullen found Fitz at the farm of Eb-
enezer Hastings in Middle Farms, where
he was employed, and placed him under
arrest. He was brought to the police
station in this town, where he admitted
doing the shooting, and told the circum-
stances leading up to it. His only
reason for seeking to take the life of the
old man, he says, was to get possession
Of a revolver. He went to Burlingame's
hut and asked if he would sell him a re-
volver. Burlingame gave a favora BILE
reply and produced the weapon. Fitz
then sprang upon the aged man and
wrenching the revolver from his grasp
shot him twice. Burlingame defended
himself as best he could and managed
to get his assailant out of the hut. Fitz
then went to a window and fired the
third shot into the hut, but failed to hit

ward Gliding, who was elevator man
at the house press gallery. The old
man came here from Corfu, N. Y, at
the beginning of the Fifty-fourth con-
gress. He was evidently new to the
scenes around him, and the correspond
ents, of whom there were six or seven
on his elevator almost every trip he
made, were a source of great wonder
ment to him. One day he greeted cor
respondent with, well, how are the
don't know boys today"
''What do you mean?''
WELL" he said, "I'll be logged If
you newspaper fellows amt the queer
est crowd 1 ever struck. Every time one
of you meets another in this elevator
he says, Well, what do you know to-
day?' and every single time the other
says: Not thing. What do you know?'
Not a thing. And then''-and here he
laughed all over-"I'll be logged if the

next morning"

the ordinary greetings between Wash

Brockton, Mass, Aug. 4.-Herbert
Marshall Of Unionville, a little hamlet
between this city and Easton, went fish
ing off Nantasket beach on Oct 20, 1891,
ard as nothing was heard from him it
was thought that he had either COM
mitted suicide or had drowned.
Yesterday he appeared in Easton,
much to the amazement of those who had
known him, and claimed that his alb
sence was due to the action of his father
inlaw in cutting off his wife from the
property by provision in his will that
she should not have it while her husband
was living.
He said that he brooded a good deal
over the trouble and decided to go away
but how he got away he refuses to say.
His actions were deliberately planned
to lead his friends and even his family
to believe that he had committed sui
eide. For six years he wandered through
California, Arizona, and at last went to
the Transvaal. While he prospered in
business way, his health failed him in
Africa and he was in a hospital for many
weeks.
