time reading patent back dodgers, )"
The Colored American wishes to state
that there is sheet of that description
called "The Conservation" 1t is pub
lished by various persons at Chicago.
The individual who at present has the
nerve to proclaim himself as the ''edi-
tor" God save the markD is one D.
E Wilkins. It is said that he also
claims to be preacher of some sort;
but if the sermons he pompouslY in
ficts upon his gullible congregations
are as redolent with false prophecy
and billingsgate as his alleged "edi-
torials," his case ought to be inquired
into by the Bishop of his diocese. If
his theology is as faulty as the spelling
and grammar in his paper he ought to
be indicted by the grand jury of pub :
lie opinion for murderous assault upon
the Kings English.
This man Wilkins belongs to that
growing class of fossils who have long
outlived their usefulness-if it can be
believed they ever were useful-and
who are jealous of the young men OF
the race who by thrift, industry and
business talent have elbowed the
oId-timers to the rear. From the back
seats of the paleOzoic age they deride
the spirit of progress which they are
unable to comprehend and shoot putty
balls of envy at their successful rivals
They are too squint-eyed to see good
in anything that is live and elevating,
and are never SO happy as when they
are unwittingly stalking around in the
role of the animal whose jawbone once
upon time proved far more effective
than their whole worthless anatomy
could be in this day of grace. To ar
que with them is useless, so joined art
they to their antiquated idols.

LET THE WHOLE truth BE TOLDl

Shooting with intent to kill is from
the standpoint of the statutes, serious
ofense against the peace aud dignity
of community. But frequently there
are mitigating circumstances which al
ter the aspect of judgment and which
arouse the sympathy of right-thinking
and home loving people. ga mans
house is his castle" This is an axiom
handed down as the "higher law" from
the time when the memory Of man rum
meth not to the contrary. 1t is doc
trine that obtains today with no dimin'
ishing force. The home is a sanctuary
not to be inva6ed except at the greatest
personal risk to the invader. Neither
color nor condition can control the pop.
ular mind in this regard.
Mrs Ada Washington, a colored
woman, is now in jail charged with
she oting one Mr.. Tryon. His alleged
ofense conveys the idea that he was
dominating Mrs. Washington's young
sister, after fashion not conducive to
morals. Lizzie Waller, the sister,
had been employed in Mr.. Tryon's
household, but left at the request of
Mrs. Washington. Mrs. Washington
made no concealment oa her objections
to Mr. Tryon's alleged influence and
it appears that this white gentleman
came to Mrs. Washington's humble
home with the idea of securing from the
young girl signed statement exoner-
atlng him from blame. An alteration
is reported to:have ensued, followed by
the shooting Of TrYon by Mrs. Wash,
ington. Mr.. Tryon is painfully wound
cd, but not fatally. Both women are
locked up, awaiting the action of the
author ties.
Of the merits of the case we cannot
now speak, as there is conflict oi
testimony in the preliminary examina
ton, We can and do. however, insist
that there shall be fair play and thai
all the facjs be brought out in the in

HIS WIFE
Inspired the Ambition

Deserves Credit For His Being

College lecture course Thursday even
ing at the Universalist church. The
lecture was well attended and was
highly appreciated by the audience.
personal Recollections of Abraham
Lincoln was the subject of the ad-
dress. 'sa
Mr.. Littlefeld was a student in Lin
coins law office and was close friend
of the the maityred President until
his death. He related several anec-
dotes of the Incoln-DOuglass debate
in a manner that captivated the audi
ence. and he impersonated Douglas and
Lincoln. most cleverly. Incidents in
I.incolnS life that came under his OBJ
servation were portrayed in a graphic
manner.
TO Mrs. Lincoln the credit must be
given for Lis becoming President. She
was ambitious and she inspired him.
said Mr.. Littleheld.
IF Abraham Lincoln had married
his first love Anna Rutledge, he would
probably have been only a common
lawyer. Her death was Il severe blow
to him.
He never belonged to any church
but when he felt his burdens greater
than he could bear alone, he invoked
Gods aid and received it. Religion was
subject on which he would not speak
He was temperate man, and Shake

FRESH POTTED BEEF.

Take six pounds of the middle or face
of the rump, the round or the veiny
piece. Wipe it well with damp
cloth. Place it in smoking hot fry
ing pan or iron kettle and scar it well,
turning until all the surface is brown
ed. Put it into stew pan or kettle
with half pint of water and place it
over a very moderate fire where it
will cook just below the boiling point
If the water boils away add just
enough more boiling water to keep
the meat from burning. Keep the
meat closely covered. When the meat
is very tender remove from the kettle
and make brown sauce from the
gravy left in the bottom of the kettle,
adding little more water II there
is not enough. Just before the meat
is quite done white potatoes may be
pared and placed under the meat and
cooked in this manner. This meat
may be served either hot or cold.

MEATS.

Here is an example that will demon
strate the force of our statement and
also show the Importance of Il closer
study into domestic economy. In al
most every family meat is considered
one of the most important essentials
among the hearty and sustaining food
products. 1t is not our purpose to
dispute this belief, but to simply use
this class of foods us good illustra-
ton. At the present time especially
this item is one that must have most
careful consideration on account of
the cost of such parts of the animal
as contain the generally preferred
cuts. Its popular demand places these
among the luxuries for many people
and not the difference In the quail
ity. The wise proyider knows this
and Is not governed by the moneyed
value represented In the foods offered
for selection, but calculates how
much health, energy and physical ben
eft she may secure mt IA nominal cost.
The attractiveness and savoriness Of
the foods depending on the skill and
judgment of the cook, and the lack
of these attributes having more weight
than the cost of materials, the know
ing one will generally give prefer
ences to such parts of meats as will
permit of a greater display of knowl-
edge and ability than will most of the
high-priced parts In the. mind of the
true artist in the culinary line, sue
cess does not depend on what amount
of money is expended, but on the
cooks ability. Good living can be
brought down TO within the means Of
all, but there must be will and a
purpose to sustain; with this inevita-
bly, comes the necessary knowledge.

will offer to our readers Of the do

HOW TO APPLY SCIENTIFIC
KNOWLEDGE.

In order to apply scientific principles
to the daily routine of the ordinary
preparations of food in all households,
one must accept the fact that there
is the A, B, G stage in this branch
of knowledge as well as in any other,
and unless the first rudiments are
mastered thoroughly, there can be no
real understanding of instructions laid
down and one must work at disad-
vantage to the end.
Overlooking this fact the most earn
est efforts of our best leaders in the
science of cooking are misconstrued
and fail to benefit those who are most
in need of simple and thorough un-
derstanding of how to live well in the
Tuest sense.
Every housewife Is desirous to OBJ
tain helpful information in the culi-
nary line, but is frequently baffled
in seeking knowledge in this direction,
by making the attempt to begin where
many experienced teachers are ready
to end their lessons, and by plunging
into this sea Of knowledge SO far be-
yond their depth are led to the conclu-
sion that the teachings are not practi.

dured because it cannot be cured, gain
knowledge of the few simple facts
that govern all the truly practical and
scientific knowledge we possess.
In arranging series of lessons for
the benefit of readers who are interest
ed in cookery, it is the intention to
make clear to the housewife the true
purpose of domestic economy and it's
relation to her daily duties in supply
ing proper, and at the same time at
tractive foods, to her family under
all conditions of life and circum-
stances.
In order to make these lessons of
real practical value, we will first take
up the present absorbing topic in
almost every household-how under
the general prevailing standard of high
prices, the monthly allowance, which
n year ago might have been more
than ample for household require
ments, can now be made to cover
something more than the seeming ne
cessities; and show the possibilities of
living even better under these condi-
tions than would have been the case
without the application of the princi-
pies which relate to and govern foods
and their proper treatment, as well
as the part they play in the human
economy.
