N APPETINNG EXHIBIT
Public School 0hildNn Display Their Abil-
ity asaOoohs
Striking and Instructive Illustrations
of the Progress made in This
Branch OF Training.

No poet ever wrote a truer line than that
civilized man cannot live without cooks, -
and the wise minds that are directing the
pubic school system Of this and other
American cities have appreciated this in
the establishment of departments that are
devoted to the teaching of the theory and
practice OF cooking. In Washington the
results OF this branch of public schooling
nave been most gratifying, a fact that was
accentuated today by an exhibition which
began at L o'clock in the upper hall of the
cooking department Of the seventh and
eighth grades and the High School of the
ninth, tenth and eleventh divisions of the
colored schools.
Large tables running the length of the
hall were filled with edibles of all sorts
winch mad been prepared by the pupils at
their homes.
The exhibit was intended to show what
the pupils had been enabled to accomplish
In their mothers kitchens without the as
slstance OF their teachers. In every re-
spect the exhibit was most gratifying and
appetizing as we'll. Great loaves of bread,
ailurlng pans of rolls, cakes, biscuits,
cheese stra#s, steaks, chops outlets and
eggs cooked and daintily served, were ev-
eryWhere on the tables, while shelves held
Jars OF preserves. It was very easy to
realize that If the cooking department is
proadened and given the impetus it de-
serves the kitchen problem will become less
difficult of solution.
The exhibit Of the theoretical part Of the
art culinary " as none the less impressive.
The walls Of the hall were covered with
essays written by the pupils upon various
articles that enter into food and upon the
manner in which they should be prepared.
ihere were essays, too, on fuel, on the
digestive processes, on broiling, boiling,
baking and other topics.
Altogether, the exhibit is most interesting
and reflects great credit upon Miss M. B.
Cook, who is in charge of the street de-
partment, her capable assistants there be-
ing Misses E. Freeman and Miss l.. A.
Parker and Misses M. E. Ware and Helen
Johnson, who are in charge of the cooking
the Randall and Stevens buildings, re-
spectively.
The exhibit was opened at 1 o'clock, with
musical and literary exercises by the pu-
pills and will close at o'clock this evening.

ter, trustee, defendants in an equity suit

unpaid April 10, 1898, but the insurance
company denies that it agreed to accept
conveyance Of the title to the property in
volved upon valuation of $4,000 The
company claims never to have valued the
property higher than the &c. 500 for which
it was bid in at the auction sale There
were three bids at that sale and 1t is
claimed all were bona fide and not made in
pursuance of any preconcerted Arrangement
between the insurance company and the
trustees.
1t is further denied that the sale was
made against the protest Of Mr.. Baker on
the ground alleged, that the time being
in Christmas week, was manifestly unpro-
pitious." In the general denial it is stated
that the sale was bona fide in all respects.
The company claims to have offered to re-
convey the property to the complaina Mt
upon the payment of the $4,000 note and
