A Kind Word for the Typewriter.

1t is not surprising that "a defense of
the woman stenographer. by one of
them, is given a conspicuous place in our
esteemed contemporary, the New York
Sun, So much has been said in the light
and airy persifiage of the press about
the flirting and frivolous typewriter that

ing this Woodworking and invaluable at
tachment of every busy man. The i'm

to her real duties among various diver

woman. In this suggestive situation it
is unnecessary TO say that the stenog-
rapher does not always appear in the
most favorable light. Just why license
has been taken with a class Of young
women who, perhaps more than any 9TH

Fashions come and go, so it is only

A Kitchen Timetable.

The woman in the home must neces-
sarily spend many hours in preparing
food. 1t is work requiring considera Bile
care and attention.; and is important
work, too, for on it much depends. So
the worker is certainly justified in MAX
ing use of any little device for tightening
her labOrs or economizing time and in
this connection a kitchen time table is
very helpful.
1t consists of a large piece Of card
poard, divided into two columns, on
which are written the names of various
kinds of foods and the time required for
cooking or baking them. Suppose, for
instance. that the first item is Sponge
cake, thirty minutes" Then the cook

GREATER NEW YORK
DEMOCRACY Welded
TO ALTON B. PARKER
May Hold EARLY Convention
in His Interest.
ASKS LEGAL RECOGNITION
At Present the Organization Has No
Standing in State
Politics.

NEW YORK, April 3.-The leaders OF
the Create. New York Democracy are
talking of trying to break into state
politics next year as a legal political
party by holding an early convention to
nominate delegates to the Democratic
National Convention
They are seriously disappointed over
their failure 10 break in by means Of
their own canvass Of the vote for the
State ticket last year. To be legally
recognized as a political party with the
right to nominate candidates for State
Offices by convention. a faction must
poll not less than 10000 votes in a regu-
lar State election Last year the Great
or New York Democracy tndOrsed the
regular Democratic State ticket, made
bluff at extending its organization
throughout The State and had its own
leaders and workers try TO count its
ballots when the election was over
The outcome of all this hard work
was that the secretary of state refused
to accept their certificates. and the or
ganizatfon now has 10 legal standing
as a party. although most OF its leaders
are holding city Offices The Greater
New York Democracy-at least its prin-
cipaI Ieaders-favor the nomination Of
Judge Alton B. Parker for President.
They suspect that David b. Hill is op-
posed to Parker and will prevent his
Endorsement by the regular party con-
vention which will meet next spring TO
elect delegates at large 10 the Demo
cratic National Convention. That is
why the Greater New York Democracy
leaders are dreaming. and talking OF a
convention of their own to elect Parker
delegates.
They have before them as a precedent
the anti-snap convention Of 1892. which
created the State Democracy, an or
ganization which later forced from
David B. Hill recognition in a State con
vention and obtained most of the New
York State federal patronage in Presi-
dent CIeveland's second term. With all
that in mind the leaders of the present
-Tammany faction feel that # might
be a good thing in the end TO be the
first original Parker men in 1901
The organization IS already commit
ted to the support of a fusion ticket
at the municipal election next fall and
will be content with Eve or six places
on that ticket.
