moved the polls be closed at 1885, and
this motion was also carried unani-
mously. 1t was 9.15 o'clock when the
warden gave the word to start ballot
ing and at 1890 o'clock 172 men had
voted When the caucus closed Tues
day night SO men were in line waiting
to vote. Out Of the 172 men who voted
more than one-half were enrolled. The
balloting was without special features,
as every man who marked a ballot
seemed to have also been marked by
the candidates, and outside of an occa-
sonal burst of oratory from someone
who apparently did not belong in the
ward at all, everything was lovely.
To facilitate counting the ballots two
new wardens were elected from the
floor and sworn in by the warden. They
were c. H. Hastings and M. G. La
pierre. The other inspectors were l..
M. Drury, c.. M. Williams, II. b. Long
and G. f. Lawrence. G. II. Ford was
clerk. Ralph d. Lachapelle, who was
one Of the inspectors at the caucus
Tuesday night did not serve last night.
He is a strong Crerie man and his ac-
ton in getting outside the rail and
working for Mr.. Crerie was the cause
of much comment
The vote as announced this morn
ing at 2 O'Clock was: Cunningham dele
cation, Fred w Leavitt, 1877; Henry
w. Hastings, $685. Joseph A. Blair 1913
and Nathan Kumin. $3.50.

The caucus closed without any for
NAL speeches on the part of the candi--
dates. Mr. Cunningham thanked those
of his friends who waited to hear the
result. He has pledges of more than
$50 Democratic votes In Ward three he
says and feels confident in event OF

You see, all the fine havoring of the tur-
key, the juices of the dressing, and all
the daintier touches flow down toward
the breast of the fowl, and when the
white meat is served you get the full
benefit of every flavor added during the
processes of preparing and baking the
turkey. in addition to the distinctive
taste Of the fowl itself. Inconvenient and
awkward? Not at all. 1t is just as easy
to cook a turkey in this way as in any
other way, and the result is infinitely
more satisfactory. 1t is no trouble to ar
range the fowl in the pan; if you desire
to place the fowl on the table before
carving it you will find that It will look
quite as we'll as it would If baked In the

When the strings are first placed in

of every one hundred. Rather should
1 have said that the mistake is almost
universally made. But few cooks ever
think of cooking the turkey any other
way. There seems to be demand for
welI-browned turkey breast. But in
browning the breast they sacrifice the
sweetness of this part of the fowl. The
best way to prepare turkey is to bake
it with the breast down. 1 learned this
lesson from Nine. Begue, whose place
down in the Old Quarter near the French
market has become famed all over the
country. She never thinks of baking a
turkey with the breast up. The breast is

WASHINGTON, May 22.-President
O'Connell states that the advices received
Mt headquarters here indicate that an

the machinists and employers will be

that during yesterday over 120 firms had

Mr.. O'Connell said that so far as he
knew about G,000 men are out in San
Francisco and about 5000 in Cincinnati.
In Chicago nearly all the important shops
have settled with the men. The reports
from the south he said, show that all
through that section settlements are be-
ing effected.
Half the firms in Philadelphia, he said,
have come to terms, and the others are
expected to follow suit. There has been
no news of n clash anywhere.
None of the government yards can he
