COOKING BY GAS.
Miss Ceilings Lectures Will Be
Continued for Another Week.

The lectures on the utility of cooking
on gas range, which have been given
daily during the past week at No. 507
Linden street, board of trade building.
by Miss Emily Marion Collng, of
Philadelphia, are awakening much in
tereSt among the housewives of Scran-
ton, as is shown by the daily increased
attendance,
Miss Colling surely commands the
best attention possible, partly from her
thorough knowledge of the art of cook
ing, but now principally because Of the
fact that she demonstrates beyond a
doubt that gas Is pleasant and eco
nomcal, if not u necessity for the best
and quickest cooking, The ladies who
have attended these lectures must feel
well repaid for the time spent.
These interesting lectures are to be
continued for another week.

THIS And THAT.

There is every reason to believe
that it viii be II long time before any
of the police magistrates will receive
salary. Common council can be en-
rcctcd at its next meeting to rush
through with "a Whirl the amended or
dlnance fixing the salaries at $500
each, but select council can be cx-
rccted to put the measure back in
it's original form, graduating the sal
aries according tn the volume of work
done. 10 show just how much poll
ties had to do with the cqualiZing of
the magistrates salaries, on Thurs
day night, it is Interesting to note IL
remark made by IL prominent Demo-
cratic member of common council on
that occasion, The member in ques-
ton is Il level-hcaded and sensible
young man, and it could be seen by
the way he smiled indulScntly at Mr.
Phillips wild hurrah in favor of equal
salries, that he was opposed to that
gcntlemen's line of argument Just
before the vote was taken on Mr.. Phil
lips amendment. this member strolled
over to the reporters table. and, as
if TO satisfy himself, said, Magistrate
Storr is Il Republican. isn't he""
toned, is the South Scranton magis-
tratc, who, under the original arrange
mcnt, was to receive 5000. The news
paper men FASTENED to remark that
Magistrate Stolr was a Democrat and
had hecn elected alderman on the
straight Democratic ticket. "My gosh.
is that 50, thought he was Il Repub-
llran," remarked the member in uues-
have himself recorded as voting in ia
Nor OF the amendment.
Tho last number OF "MoUntain SIM
shine the attractive periodical pub-
lished at Colorado Springs, contains
the following sketch, written by ". r.
Douglas, the leading architect of that
region, concerning the late Il. g. {.
Robinson, the son Of Rev. DR.. and Mrs.
e, T. Robinson, OF this city, who so
deeply mourn and must ever grieve
because of his untmely death. Mr..
Douglas says:
1T must have been sad blow for
the late Mr.. II. &. q, Robinson To leave
New York, where he would have un-
doubtedly made a great reputation. TO
cast his lot in small town, which
Nh'il Nv 'ifllf 10 IL tbulu not nave
had more than 100 inhabitants. How
ever, his poor health necessitated the
change and 50 courageously lid he ap~
ply himself Ia his new surroundings
that In a very short time the colonial
style, of which he was a veritable mas
ter. seemed by common impulse to be-
come the recognized one for nine
tcnths of the home builders in Colo
RADIO Springs.
Mr.. Robinson arrived here just
about the time that several OF our
moneyed citizens We're contemplating
building, so that he had from the start
an opportunity TO show his marked
ability in his favorite style Every
one interested i'm the subject must
have noted the graceful lines, the per-
feet proportions and the exquisite
delicacy of detail which invariably
nervaded his work. Another striking
feature that marks Mr. Robinson's
houses is their variety i'm design. AL
though nearly all were kept to Colon

WAS A GREAT SHOW.
There We're Not Seats Enough to
Accommodate All Who Went to
See the Wallace Circus.

The circus men have found Scranton
a ripe harvest field this year The
Wallace show. which exhibited here
Yesterday, was the third circus with
in two weeks. vet it drew the largest
crowds in proportion to tho size of the
tents Of any.
At both performances yesterday. but
especially at night, the main tent was
so crowded that straw had to be
strewn on the hippodrome track to ac-
commodate with squattng places the
hundreds who were unable to obtain
seats.
The crush was terrific when the show
was over and If there We're any pick
pockets on hand and there undoubted-
ly We're many. they had a splendid
opportunity to ''ply their nefarious
calling" as the hack writer says.
The Wallace circus is not as big as
the Ringing Brothers show. having
only two rings and a stage, but it is
a first class circus in every respect.
The performers are of high order and
the acts given are novel and original
and out of the regulation run of cirque
acts.
The star feature. of course, was the
celebrated Nelson family of acrObatS,
who gave their truly remarkable per-
formance to salvOs of tumultuous ap-
plausc. Each and every one of them
from the "old man" down to the wee
little mite of a girl who is brought i'm
in carpet bag are clever performers.
especially the three between the ages
of twelve and fifteen. who tumble on
Il specially arranged platform.
The young elephant. who rides the
Vclocipedc. and his side partner, the
spotted pony, who resembles more
nearly a toy pony than aught else. re-
peated their clever performance of last
year, as did also the young lady who
congresses her anatomy into a ball
and then runs the ball up a spiral rum
way.
The Stirt family of bicycle perform
ers went through a series of difficult
manouevres on old fashioned high
wheel bicycles. Then there We're Japa-
nese performers and tranpezc artists
and so on and so forth.
The circus parade in the morning
was bright and altogether the Wallace
people are assured of a warm recep-
tion whenever they strike the town
again.
