JULIET CORSON DEAD
FAMILIARITY KNOWN TO AMERICANS
AS THE ..MOTHER OF COOKERY"
Died in New York from the Effects of
Operation for the Removal

NEW YORK, June 21.-Miss Juliet Corson.
Familiarity known as the mother OF cook
cry whose work culinary art made her
name a household word over the country,
died in this city on Friday from the eff
fects of an operation for the removal of
tumor.
Miss Corson was the first woman in the
country to teach the art of cooking under
a systematic course of instruction. Her
early life was one of poverty and hardships.
Leaving her fathers home, she found en-
polyment in a library, where her, inter-
course with books and papers gave her an
insight into literary work which served her
we'll in after years. After contributing oc-
casionally to magazines and papers she be-
came an editorial writer for the National
Quarterly Review. In this connection she
joined several charitable women in teach
ing the art of cooking to deserving work.
ing girls. This prompted Miss Corson to
make systematic instruction in this impor-
tant branch of domestic economy her
life work This was nearly a quar-
about, chiefly among the families of the
poor, showing the wives, mothers and sis
tiers how to live we'll and cheaply In
every case her instruction was accom-
panied by practical demonstrations. The
railroad strikes in 1877 brought her into
prominence. At her own expense she cir
culated $4,000 copies of a book, showing
workingmens wives how they could pre-
pare a substantial meal for Is cents. Her
work was by no means confined to the
poor. Society women called upon her for
instructions. Bachelors were frequently
shown how they could prepare wholesome
breakfasts by means of the chatting dish,
and sporting men were prepared for a
summers outing by her valuable hints.
Miss Corson was prominent exhibitor
at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago.
Her exhibit and work her medal,
the only one given for dietetics and a d-
ploma. She again launched out into lit
erary career in 1889, when she became the
editor of the Household Monthly, Bos-
ton publication.

Severe storm in the South.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 20.-A severe
storm prevails tonight in nearly all OF the
gulf States and southern Tennessee. About
1 a. m all Geographic communication with
Memphis and New Orleans was stopped by
collapse of the wires in the whole lower
Mississippi valley. The great extent of the
territory covered by the storm is indicated
by the fact that the Southern coast routes
from Atlanta to New Orleans are also
down At Montgomery, Ala, the electrical
disturbance was terrific. The lightning
struck the Western Union wires near the
CITY. and the leaping sparks in the office of
the company at Montgomery caused fire
which destroyed the building, valued at
about $4,000 There are no reports of heavy
wind accompanying the storm. In fact
nothing is known of what occurred south
of here beyond the disabling of the tele-
graphic sytems and the fire at Montgomery.
