The New York Ship Building Company
that gave Loudenslager such important
support last Fall, is getting experience that
some other people have had. With other
ship builders they bid on two cruisers, and
thought their figures on the specific bid,
were lowest, find that Cramps get the con
tracts. Hence they have entered protest Il
the Naval Department. against the award
1t is alleged that Cramps contributed $50
900 to Loudenslager's late campaign, while
the unfortunate firm put up only $40, 600.

BRIDGEPORT.

The Ladies' Bazaar held in Logan Hall
Friday and Saturday evenings last for the
benefit Of the M. E. Church was the most
successful that was ever held in the village.
AS one entered the Hall, beholding the
artistic drspngs, they were struck in
| amazement and at the same time feeling
| of welcome penetrated the soul and you
could not refrain from saying to every one
| you met: "Oh, how pretty and cheerful the
| Hall looks" There were four booths deco
rated beautifully one for the sale of cakes;
one for CONNECTIONS; one for ice cream and
large one for the sale of fancy articles,
and in the center of the Hall was yery
| inviting table where SANDWICHES and coffee
were served. Lack of each booth were
standing ladies presenting a fine appear
ence who were very willing to make sale
OF articles under their charge, and the
young ladies, who had charge of the cream
and sandwich tables, were so pleasant that
you could not resist handing up your Sec
ond order. There was large number pres
ent and the elegant music furnished by Miss
| Edith Platt, Prof. Samuel Dunk, George
and Matthew Featherer was enchanting that
every one seemed 10th to leave even at
late hour. MI. E. Usinger very kindly

NECROMANCER OF KITCHEN.
A Wonder for Making Much Out of
Little Is the Restaurant Cook

A visit to the kitchen of one of the
cheap restaurants, say to one of the
plain American variety as sample.
discloses how much the everyday Yam

little A look at the bill of fare before

the rear viii increase the wonder There
are listed four or five different kinds OF
soup as many perhaps of fish half
DOZEN roasts, an ample array of made
dishes, pies and buildings, and all the
vegetables, canned or fresh, in ordinary
use anywhere
Any one who did not know might
suppose that to cook and keep ready
in quantities such an array of dishes
would require an immense range sew
eral cooks and plenty of space In re-
atty the kitchen is no bigger or is even
smaller than that of an ordinary house.
and one or at most two assistants to
wash dishes are all the one plain Yam
kee cook requires.
Suppose a waiter comes with an order
for vegetable soup The cook lifts the
lid of a big boiler of clear soup. made
by boiling bones and scraps OF beef,
mutton. chicken and veal together. Out
of this he dips a bowl of soup. and into
the bowl he pops in quick succession
little from each pot of boiled vegetables
he is serving for that day. He gives it
all stir. and. presto, there is your
vegeta BILE soup.
For all the orders for soup that come
in the cook goes first to the big boiler.
Is it consomme? From a big pitcher
the cook pours into the clear stock

macaroni2 a Dot of boiling water is
near at hand and he forks a few strings
into the bowl. Is it oxtail2 A big tin
of condensed oxtail soup stands on
