Isc of the Chs Stove.

Beans may be easily baked over night on gas stove if you have one of the small ovens which can be set on top of a stove. It is of the largest eonve- nience, in fact, for many dishes. Set the oven over the simmerer, turned quite low, and at night put in the bean pot. in the morning the beans will be perfect for breakfast and the amount of gas consumed will be very little. There is one thing to be looked after when the simmerer is turned low: never leave it burning where a draft will strike it. The flame will be blown out and an escape of gas wilifollow.- Good Housekeeping.

ADJUSTMENTS.

PAOLO AND FRANCESCA-Mrs Flor
ence Russell Lyon last Thursday afternoon
gave a singularly agreeable and effective
reading from the Stephen Phillips version
of the story OF Francesca da Rimini, ac-
companied by Mr.. Angelo Fronani. The
entertainment occurred at the Washington
Club and was received enthusiastically by
an audience which included notable num-
ber Of persons of culture.
The Stephen Phillips play is now we'll
known In America from the book publica-
ton, and has repeated here the sensation
created in England by It's fine thought and
musical diction. The current week saw it's
initial stage presentation In London, where
In the hands of George Alexander and a
capable company, it awoke the theater to a
demonstration rarely bestowed on a play
familiar to every one in the audience. In
Washington the public knowledge Of this
famous love story has been freshened
also by Otis SINNERS notable presentation
Of the Boxer version. Consequently, Mrs.
Lyon yesterday faced an audience peculiar
ly familiar with the subject OF her reading
accent or badly chosen infection.
Notwithstanding this acquaintance with
the work In hand, the audience at the
Washington Club was affected vsibly. The
reader kept the four chief characters Of
the play entirely distinct by adroit and
sustained changes Of voice, and by clear
enunciation and sympathetic emphasis gave
to the dialogue an air Of the most marked
pathos. This effect was much heightened
by the musical accompaniment. or ritor-
nellie, performed by Mr.. Fronani at the
piano. His selections were most appro-
pirate and were performed with the great
est sympathy for the text. Wherever pos
sible they naturally reflected the Italian
atmosphere Of the play, but at the close
Of the work the music of Italy gave way
to the stately and affecting measures Of a
composition by Beethiven to symbolic the
final tragedy.
"a STOLEN KISS."-By special request
Wright Huntington will change his sketch

SUBMITS ADVERSE REPORT.
Engineer Commissioner Disapproves
Bill for Extension Of Railway.

Bill for Extension Of Railway.
Col John Biddle, the Engineer Commits
sioner. has submitted statement to his
associates In regard to Senate bill 1901, to
require the Columbia Railroad Company to
extend its line along Bladensburg roaQ to
the Mount Olivet cemetery. Col Biddle is
not In favor Of the passage of the bill, as
he believes there are other proposed extern
sions Of street railroads that are more
needed at present, and in view Of the finan-
cial condition of the company 1t would
seem, he says, better to postpone this par
ticular extension.
Moreover, 1t is stated, there does not
seem to be any need to require the rail-
road to buy a right of way along Bladens-
highway is sixty feet wide now, and 1t
Is proposed soon to widen 1t to 100 feet.
The land for widening Is to be taken equal
ly on each side, and there would seem to
be no reason why the railroad should not
be located, when built, In the center of the
present road.
When the extension Of the Columbia line
was built along the Benning road, 1t Will
be remembered, the company was required
to buy right Of way, but that case, 1t Is
pointed out, was exceptional, as the road
was very narrow, and it was proposed to
widen 1t to the north. so that the location
of the railroad on the north would even
tually bring it practically in the middle of
the road.

BISHOP MAKES CHANGE
ASCENSION CHURCH DESI6NAT-
ED AS PRo-CATHEDRAL.
Transfer of Official Headquarters
From st. Marks to Take
Effect Next October

1t has been decided to change the Epis-
copal Pro-Cathedral of Washington dio-
cese from st. Marks Church to the Church
of the Ascension. corner 18th street and
Massachusetts avenue northwest. Ihls
conclusion was announced to the vestry
of st. Marks some time ago. but the
change will not be consummated until Oc-
tober Of this year.
The Church of the Ascension was the
bishops church about twenty-five years
ago, during the period Bishop Pinckney
presided over the Maryland diocese and
previous to the formation of the Washing
ton diocese. Bishop Paret. who followed
Bishop Pinckney was rector of the Church
of the Epiphany before assuming the more
exalted position. but he had his residence
in Baltimore.
Six years ago the Washington diocese
was formed from part of the Maryland
diocese, and Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee was
elected to the newly created bishopric
Nhen seen this morning by Star re-
porter in regard to the proposed change.
Bishop Satterlee said that when he came
TO Washington some six Years ago two
churches-St Marks and Trinty-were Of
Tered to him as the pro-cathedral. Inas-
much as St. Marks was at that time in
some difficulty and needed help he desig-
mated that church as the one in which to
cohouct MS ofhc!al ceremonies He says
-
Marks at the time that a change might
be made later
Ihe bishop said ST. Marks is now In a
most prosperous condition, and in fact the
whole work in the eastern part of Wash
lnston Is strong. and he felt it to be his
duty to accept the petition of Ascension
Church TO make it the pro-cathedral
The rector of the Church of the Ascen-
sion is Rev. ]. r. Elliott. but owing to his
Illness for year past Rev H. Allen Grit
hth, assistant rector. has officiated. This
change Will not interfere with the duties
OF the pastor who will be retained, as it is
simply to provide the bishop of the diocese
with a church. where he may at all times
hold special services without securing the
consent of the rector and congregation
Bishop Satterlee says there has been no
ill-feeling or discord over the matter what
ever He says the congregation Of St
Marks has acted SO honorably and gener-
ouSly in reference to the change that the
bond of union between himself and that
congregation is closer than ever and he
deeply regrets the proposed severing Of
official relations. The members of ST.
Marks share this regret and have no bit
ter feelings over the course to be pursued
AS stated, the change will not be made
until some time in October, and In the
meantime the bishop will conduct his off,
cial ceremonies at st. Marks.
