Creole cookery ranks among the most
toothsome in this country, and it seems to
combine the French and the Spanish SAVIOR
les. 1t is not very easy nor are its receipts
calculated to find favor with the housewife
who believes in canned goods and ready-to-
serve cereals. Creole cooks take infinite
pains and do nothing in haste, as these
ceipts, picked up in New Orleans among
old Creole families, will prove

A Pretty Fall Fashion.

pretty fashion which has been started
OF late Is that of wearing cockades of col
ored velvet or ribbon. one on the left side
OF the corsage rather high up. and the other
on the right side at the waist line. They are
large and are generally Of contrasting
color to that of the gown with which they
are worn. Rosettes of burnt orange velvet
make an exceedingly pretty accompaniment
to a smart afternoon gown of brown plisse
chiffon.

In the form of newmarkets or listers
These are made in stout but lightweight
cheviots, tweeds, serges and ra1n-proo1
cloths, with some of the models showing
contrasting pipings at the seams, and the
majority turnover velvet collars.
Two smart models are in new and APP

large black bone buttons for ornament

A number of the dressier short coats

and the longer loose coats vary little from
the summer STYLES in pongee, silk and lace,
except that shoulder seams are shorter,
sleeves are more vouminouS than ever, and
the looseness of the garment more than

STREET NOMENCLATURE.
Citizen Wants Thoroughfares Given
Poetical and Dignified Names.

A new and rather novel system Of no
menclature for the lettered streets of
Washington has been submitted to Commits
sioner mcfarland by Mr. r. W. Franklin
of this city. Mr.. Franklin's system COM
prises six sets of alphabetically arranged
names designed for the streets running
east and west. three sets for the streets
north of the Capitol and three sets for the
streets south of the Capitol, this number
being considered sufficient to carry the sys-
tenn to the District line, both north and
south of the Capitol
Mr.. Franklin's group of names for the
streets north of the Capitol consists of
names of American cities. distinguished
Americans and names of American trees
flowers and shrubs. The group of names
suggested for the streets south of the
Capitol consists of American geographic
cal names, names of different tribes of
Indians, and names of battles of the rev
pulmonary. Indian. Mexican, civil Span
ish-American and Philippine wars
In the list of names of trees, flowers
shrubs. &c. Mr. Franklin has suggested
among others the following poetic names
Tor the streets: Dahlia, jasmine Lilac
Nasturtium, Ounce, Tulip, Yew Zephyr
Among the group of geographical names
are found the following: Brazos, Escam-
bia. Hopsatonic, Quinsagamond, Uharee
and ZuInbro. Equally as interesting axe

OF songs from one composer. which Is un-
avoidable Nine. Schumann-Heink sang
with charming ease and in excellent voice.
Miss Josephine Hartmann was a most
acceptable accompanist and also gave sew

style and finish.

MATTER OF REGRET
HOUSE COMMITTEES ACTION DIS
APPOINTS COMMISSIONERS.
Fails to Adopt the Recommendation
Regarding Current and Extraordi-
nary Improvements.

AS would be naturally expected, the Com
missioners are somewhat disappointed that
the House committee on appropriations in
reporting the District appropriation bill
yesterday has again failed to comply with
their urgent recommendation that the items
of expenditures for current needs be sepa-
rated from the expenditures for extraor-
binary projects of improvements, so that
the Districts share of the latter may be
repaid to the federal government in annaul
installments extending over period of
twenty years. 1t Is understood, however,
that the Commissioners hope. from the
statement given out by the committee IN
reporting the District appropriation bill,
that the time Is not far distant when suit
able and permanent arrangements will be
made by Congress for financing the Dis
trict's indebtedness incurred by reason of
the permanent improvements.
The Commissioners state that If all the
appropriations and charges payable by the
District of Columbia. which have been
made up to the present. are expended by
the LIST of July next; the Districts deficit
in connection with federal advances would
be s., 697. 67O59. 1t is estimated, however,
that all of the appropriations now author
lied will not be expended by the 1st of
July. The estimated deficit for advances
made for the Districts contribution to
extraordinary projects of improvements up
to July 1, 1904, is placed at about 81 600, 600.
The bill reported yesterday provides that
the advances shall be repaid in five years
from July /, 1906.
Under present conditions the Districts
deficit, 1t is stated, will be steadily in
creased, and it is estimated that by the
LIST of July, 1905, the Indebtedness on ac-
count of permanent improvements will
amount TO about $4OOOOO0. This debt bears
interest at the rate of two per cent per
annum.
The question which naturally presents it
self to the Commissioners is, when will
the District catch up, under the present
system?'
With the Indebtedness increasing annually
at great rate and with the revenues of the
District increasing only at comparatively
small rate. the answer to that question is
obvious.

Among other things the Commissioners
hope to secure from the Senate committee
is the high pressure water mains through
the heart OF the city for protection from
fire. Three years ago the Commissioners
included an item for this Improvement in
their estimates. Since that time they have
not Included the item in their estimates but
nave urged an appropriation for the high
pressure service in their hearings before
the committee. Their recommendation for
an appropriation OF S500,e03 for the high

committee this year. The Commissioners
also asked an appropriation of ST5 600 for a
nre boat for the liver front, and an appro-
priation of $4,000 for a house for the men

boat.

member of Phil Sheridan's staff and
he was one of the best fighters In the
federal army. He has great record
to look back upon both in the field and
in the halls Of legislation, and 1t Is not
to be wondered at that he becomes
sometimes intolerant of restraint and
breaks out of the reservation when the
humdrum Of Washington politics
doesn't go exactly to suit him.
Hepburn wants to destroy the civil
service commission. He seeks to smite
1t hip and thigh. He believes 1t Is
thoroughly vicious Institution and that
1t has absorbed the powers of patron
age to such an extent that Is past all
endurance. He would like to amend
the civil service laws so that each de-
partment might select its own clerks
after passing a suitable examination,
and so that the head of a department
could summarily dismiss clerk If he
pleased without preferring formal
charges. In word. he would go back
to the old spoils system with few
improvements.

M. Z. Gee, NJ. d.
Catarrh is systemic disease curable
only by systemic treatment. A remedy
that cures catarrh must aim directly at
the depressed nerve centers. This is
what Peruna does.
Peruna Immediately invigorates the
nerve-centers which give vitality to the
mucous membranes. Then catarrh dis
appears. Then catarrh is permanently
cured.
