COOKING IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Mrs. Richards Lectures on The Subject In Sayss
Memorial HAL

Mrs. Emily ii. Richards, professor of
sanitary chemistry in the Massachus-
etts Institute of Technology, and a
pioneer in the art of scientific cooking
i'm the public schools. delivered a lee
ture in Sayles Hall last evening. before
quite a large audience which appeared
to be greatly interested in the sub
ject.
In substance, Mrs. Richards said: "In
most homes there is sad lack of sanl-
tary information about proper living.
We find that nearly 80 per cent. of all
incomes is spent for food among poor
people from go TO so per cent, but
IL is not the right sort, not well pre-
pared. The machines that do our men,
tai work for use are not working to
their full capcity; we are not getting
the best most easily from them. The
children could do their four years work
in three years If they were properly
taken care Of, and the city would save
taxes with properly ventilated school
houses and proper lunches for children.
We are not now all descendants from
the Puritans; the old ways are no long
er best for the children. The education
suited to the foreigners that make so
a part OF the schools. And yet they
will all gladly and willingly take what
is given them in the schools. without
question. That Is my argument against
doing this work in charity name. 1t
alienates the people at once"
Mrs. Richards then spoke OF her work
in her own classes. in which, she said,
she prefurrpd cfrifdrer- freff4- 10 years tn
H. At this age. she said, IL was a de-
light to the children 10 learn anything
about cooking: and once filled with the
Joy OF doing something we'll with their
hands-iecling the sense Of power and
Of managing something, the feeling re-
mained with them A series of inter-
esting questions and answers protract-
ed the meeting for another half hour,
and a number Of points of practical
interest TO the workings OF the cooking
school system in Boston were further
presented. and all OF which Mrs. Rich

AFTER The PARADE
Butchers and MaTkstman Enjoyed
Banquet in Infantry Hall.
Addresses by Governor Dyer and by Mayor
Baker MarsEarS Remarks.

AT the conclusion of the parade of the
Butchers and Marketmens' Association
yesterday afternoon, the banquet was
served at Infantry Hall. over 500 per-
sons bong served. During the repast
an excellent concert was given by the
Hedley-Livsey band, and later Presi-
dent Hollis *. Clark, who had charge
of the post -prandiai exercises, intro
duced the several speakers.
The first address was made by Gov.
Dyer. who said in substance: II am
grateful to the General Assembly for
adjourning i'm time to allow me to come
and meet with you here. 1t is the peo-
pie who, like you. do the work that will
save the country ana hand down its
institutions. This is a great country,
and / believe that in the providence OF
God il can do anything. In the same
way l believe that this association can
do about anything i'm Rhode Island that
Ii really intends TO do. Now there are
a number of other speakers whom |
know you want to hear, and so l shall
not weary you with long address. l
shall be very glad to be with you often. y
Mayor Baker said In part. in rela-
tion TO the lack OF money i'm the city
treasury: Two years ago there was a
measure introduced into the General
Assembly which, could il have been
passed. would have given us some
$4,000 and we now would have had
sufficient money TO run our schools aud
would not be closing them two weeks
early. IL there is anyone who ought to
to be paid Ii is the teachers. They are
in no way TO blame for the condition
OF affairs, but they alone must suffer.
The bill that ] referred to, however.
was pigeonholed ana We must do the
best that we can. Another measure
which was proposed this year got into
the hands OF the committee on judic-
iary. but no further.

President Clark then called for Chief
Marshal Leonard and I'm behalf OF the
association. he presented 10 him an ele-
gantly mounted cane. Mr.. Leonard
made a fitting response. Brief adj
dresses were then made by Leander c.

SUSPICIOUS fire.
Blaze In the Cellar Under Sanhorn's
ApotheCaTy Store.
fITemsn and Police, After an Investigation,
Believe II Was Set.

About IL o'clock last night, an alarm
was rung in from box 2lS, and there
was another fire in the Sprague block,
corner of West Friendship street and
Elmwood avenue, the blaze being in
the cellar of the drug store of Arthur
Sanborn. The fire was soon extinguish-
ed, and then the firemen and police of
the Fourth station made an investiga-
tion which satisfied them that this fire
and two others which had started at
the same place earlier in the evening,
but hau been extingulshed without the
ringing OF alarms, were of incendiary
origin.
Williams Jennings. clerk in the drug
store, was placed under arrest and he
was locked up at the Knight street
station upon the charge of drunkenness.
The police claim to have found burned
wood and paper that had been thor
oughly soaked i'm benZine or kerosene.
A barrel filed with waste paper and
wood was found next To closet in
the cellar. Benzine or Kerosene had
been found on the inflammable mater
ial in this barrel. AT the foot of the
stairs leading up to the drug store from
the cellar was found another lot OF
small bits OF wood, paper and rags.
This, too, had been wet with benZine.
In the alleyway in the rear OF the store
was a pile of boards and cordwood, and
this had also been sprinkled with kerr
osene.
The first fire was in this pile OF
boards, and the second was in pile OF
papers and wood in a closet near the
cellar. Both of these were extinguished
by Mr.. Sanborn and Jennings without
an alarm being given. Mr.. Sanborn
says that he closed the drug store
shortly after 10 o'clock, both he and
Jennings leaving IL. The door was lock-
ed. but Jennings had key, for he went
back into the store shortly afterMard.
Shortly before IL o'clock officer Rey-
nolds Of the Fourth station was I'm the
area between the rear OF the building
and the bakery. lie saw glare COM
ing from the cellar and divining that
there was fire there ran around to the
front of the building TO send i'm an
alarm. Just before he reached the box
he saw Jennings run out from the
store. open the box and send in the
alarm.
Jennings has been in the employ of
Mr.. Sanborn since the first of March
last, and had always ben considered
faithful and upright CLERK. and he has
given no cause for complaint. He lives
on Doyle avenue.
Jennings pleaded not guilty TO the
charge OF drunkenness I'm the police
court, today, and will be tried tomor-
row. ~ further complaint had been
preferred up 10 this noon.
