RUTLAND ALDERMEN REFUSE.
a long and busy session Of the board of
aldermen was held at the city council
chamber in Rutland Monday night. Ona
of the most important features OF the
meeting was the report from the State
board of health on the condition of the
watershed from which the city water
comes. The board in its report upheld
Mayor Manning in the stand which he has
been taking. stating that many nuisanccs
exist along the stream and should be
remedied ut once. The State board asked
that tho board OF aldermen pass a vote
AT once agreeing to assume the expense
of aihting the nuisances. This. however,
the aldermen did not do. but instead. de-
cided to take the matter into their own
hands. Three of the mayors vetoes were
sustained; the contracts for taking down
tho footbrdge and furnishing the city
with a quantity OF water pipe were award
cd. and considerable money was appro
priatcd for various purposes.

COOKING WITHOUT FIRE.

Worlds Work-At various recent
food exhibitions there has been on
show an invention for heating food
without fire and without the usual
troublesome accessories of pots and
pans. An innocent-looking tomato
soup tin has four holes punched at
one end, and Immediately that is done
the whole thing begins to fizz and
boil. 1t is left for five minutes, until
the heating materials evaporate,
turned upside down, and left for an
other five minutes; then 1t is opened
in the ordinary way, when thoroughly
cooked soup can be poured out The
food; which is prepared by some we'll
known firms, is of the first quality
About dozen varieties of soup can
be had, and the same number of en-
trees, besides coffee, cocoa and choco-
late.
1t is a great find for the motorist on
q tour for business or camping for
pleasure. Room has to be found in
the car for the required number of
tins of the usual timed food size, and
after meal, of course, the used tins
can be thrown away. A hundred
other instances Immediately suggest
themselves in which such an inven-
ton would be invaluable-as an emer-
gency ration for the soldier on the
field, while accommodating, on outpost
duty, or in bivouac; as means Of
provision for the aeronaut, the sports
man, the yachtsman, the sailor and
the explorer, for solitary occupant
Of city flat who has grown weary of
restaurant meals; as an ally Of the
housewife when cook is i'll or nonex-
istent. 1t might even be adopted by
the patient member of "first-night"
theater queue, or the adventurous
loyalist who waits long hours in the
hope of viewing some imperial pro-
cession. And the wonder of it is that
no one has forestalled the ingenious

Philadelphia, Pa, May 24-Director
of Public Works Costello ami Director
Of Public Safety Smyth yesterday, at
the request of Mayor Weaver, ten
dered their designations. This is the
latest and most startling development
in the fight against the lease for rs
Years of the city gas works to the
United Gas Improvement company.
Each official in rendering his resig-
nation used the phrase, ITO take ef-
feet when my successor has qualified"
These words are taken in political
circles to indicate determination to
Fold to the office as long as possible,
as the successors of the two directors
must be confirmed by a twothirds
vote of each council. Mayor Weaver
evidently took the same view, as 1t
was stated yesterday afternoon that
lie had notified Messrs. Costello and
Smyth that the form of the resigna-
tions was not satisfactory and he
gave them two hours to resign with
out qualification on pain Of removal
from Office.
The action of the MAJOR is the all
engrossing topic of conversation in
the city. 1t is safe to say that no such
political sensation has been sprung in
the last IS years. Now that the may
or has declared war on the republican
o1 ganization leaders who placed him
