The Coal Famine Has Caused De
 mand for Prepared Foods.


 lowing to the scarcity and high price of fuel this winter there has been very noticeable increase in the de imand for cooked foods,'' said a local market merchant to a Star reporter. "A great many people who heretofore prepared almost everything at home are now coming here and getting it al-5 ready cooked. In an effort to econo- mize on the wood and coal bill this style of purchasing jumped into p0pu- larity by leaps and bounds. A short dime ago ham and tongue were about the only things that were cooked. Now you can get almost anything you want --meats, vegetables, game and fowls and the end is not yet.
 'sThis style of buying is not confined to any particular class. An elegantly dressed womaif came here the other day and ordered cooked turkey and some cranberries. Another woman asked me to send her up mediu1n- done roast beef, weighing not more than ten pounds Orders of baked chicken are common. Hominy this weather is quite popular, while boiled rice can be purchased in any duantI- ties. On the outside of the market the colored women will cook anything you want. One old colored hflammv' informs me that she is making money out of bacon and cabbages, while ar- other old woman makes speciality of liver and onions.
 Tt is wonder to me this demand for cooked food has not struck Wash 1ngton long before this Tn New York you know, you can purchase anything you want in any quantity already pre- pared Such places of business are on every street, especially in Brooklyn. A friend of mine who resides in the city of churches during a recent visit here told me he has dispensed with the services, of a cook and is dealing ex- clusively with the corner chef. One strong feature about these places is that the prices of such cooked things are only about, 10 per cent above the market price for the raw material. It lis only question of time when the head of the family will lie able to or der anything for the ta',le in quantity ready to serve. e."--Washingto Star.

Charges AgalnSt Appointce For As- gistant United States Treasurer.

gistant United States Treasurer.
 WASHINGTCN, March 19. = Presf- lent Roosevelt has tvi4hdra wn the nomination of William Plimley for as- sistant treasurer of the United States at New York and late yesterday after noon sent to ths senate the nomination of Hamilton Fish to the office, and it was confirmed by the senate.
 MT. Phmley'S nomination was con- firmed by the senate the day after it's transmission to that body by the presi- dent. His commission was made out and signed by the president, but had not been delivered when at the instance of Senator Aldrich, chairman of the finance committee, the senate adopted resolution recalling the appointment from the president for further consid- eration. It developed that charges had been made against Mir. Plimley which the senate desired to investigate. Pro- tests from important financial interests in New York subsequently, were filed with President Roosevelt against the appointment of MT. Pli1nley. The pro- tests also reached the treasury depart ment, which made an investigation. Assistant Secretary Armstrong of the treasury department had a conference with the president at which it was de cided that in view of the gravity of the charges against Mir. Plimley he could not be commissioned. The president then withdrew the nomination from the senate.
 President Roosevelt then had con- ference with Senator Platt, MT. Plim- ley having been indorsed by both Sena- tors Platt and Depew, and informed him that in the circumstances he felt fully justified in withdrawing the nom ination of MT. Plimley. Tn this action Senator Platt acquiesced. The senator suggested the name of Hamilton Fish of New York, and the president agreed immediately to appoint him.
 MT. Fish is son of former Secre- tary of State Hamilton Fish. He is a prominent lawyer of New York, one time speaker of the assembly and q personal friend of President Roosevelt.

1t is thoroughly realized here that the
Navy has not the slightest chance Of
defeating the Army. but there are few,
however, who have hopes of the Navy
winning The Navy will have a much
lighter aggregation in the field than
their rival institution, but the midsaip-
men are determined to at least hold the
score down.
The team has been in secret practice
for the past ten days, and it is under
stood that some new trick plays and
formations have been developed that
may puzzle the Army boys. The prac-
tice was open to the public, and a crowd
OF navy supporters gathered about the
grtdiron to watch the work of their fav>
Orites.
Some Improvement was shown over
their past form, although the team is
yet In a weak condition

graceful slothfulness and trounced Cor
nell by the score Of ~ to 0. The Suak-
ers' attack was inyincibie from start to

defense there was almost to insensIbility
in the first half. so that in the second the
Quakers capered around their opponents
at will.
Pennsy ran up Il points in the first
half. mostly by stsaight line plunges.
The principal play was Bennett over the
tackle with a halfbsck and one tackle
helping him He stayed on his teet
with remarkable skill. and was always
certain for the distance required.
In the second half Cornell weakened
perceptibly, and Penn ran through her
almost at will, using end runs and trick
plays with certainty. Cornell grew
weaker and weaker as the play went
on. Frequently the Quaker forwards
would pick up their man after he had
been downed and 1rag him ten yards
