Properly Boiled Meat.

To boil meat SO as to retain the Juices
and soluble salts and yet cook it suf-
fic:ently 1t should be plunged into boil
ing water and boiled rapidly for about
ten minutes. After this fast cooking
the kettle must be pushed over to the
back Of the fire, where it's contents will
simmer gently. This tends to coagu-
late the outer rind Of the meat SO that
the juices cannot escape. II meat is
treated in this manner the inside will
be found juicy and tender, but If the
meat is allowed to boil it will be found
hard and chippy, the goodness having
all boiled out Of it.

An ice famine just at the period when
people are IIresplring beneath the heat
waves OF summer is the unhappy con-
dition which confrOnts the residents OF
Washington The prospects for such
an embarrassing situation is made plain
by the constantly diminishing supply
among local manufacturers, and the still
more convincing action Of the local con-
Germs IN making an advance of 5 cents
per hundred pounds in the wholesale
price.
The wholesale price Of ice up to a few
davs ago was % Gets per hundred. The
alleged combination has raised il 10 Z5
cents per hundred. This action has
given rise TO a rigid investigation by
the United States District Attorneys
Office among many Of the small retail
dealers who supply the majority OF the
city's consumers
The purpose OF this Investigation.
which is being conducted by Assistant
District Attorney Jesse c. Adkins. is
10 unearth any trust or combination in
this city. which has suddenly raised the
price Of ice
Small dealers from all parts Of the city
responded 10 summons TO appear AT a
hearing yesterday before Mr.. Adkins
i
vulged. about the influences exerted 20
make permanent the recent increased
prices What yesterdays investigation
developed is purely a matter Of conjec-
ture. Mr.. Adkins declining TO make pub
lie anything that transpired during the
secret hearing However, there is good
ground for the statement that il is the
intention to lay before the grand jury
the testimony OF various witnesses al
ready heard. and 70 prove by such tes-
timony the existence Of an unlawful
combination whose recent action is in
violation OF the laws Of the United
States.
Residents Of the city have not vet felt
the effect Of the raised prices in ice.
but there are numerous complaints that
they are getting smaller pieces OF ice
Tor cents than formerly
The entire output of all Of the plants
OF this city is conservativeIy estimated
at 900 tons daily Washington will con-
sumo on any warm summer day about
l,5o0 tons. and. SO, in a nutshell. the ten
sity of the present condition is plainly
SEEN To meet any emergency occasion
ed by torrid weather. there is stored in
the ice houses about 1000 tons But
this would be quickly exhausted and
the inability of the local dealers to SUD-
ply the demand with ice shipped from
New England as formerly would create
a situation grave in the extreme.

CAUGHT UNDER WALL
MAN MEETS WITH
TERRIBLE DEATH
Isaiah Blaine Instantly
Killed on Virginia
Avenue.

Caught under a falling wall Isaiah
Blaine, forty-fve years old. OF 525 VIr-

killed, and James Miles. colored, nine
teen years old, OF 427 Eighth street

day afternoon, while tearing down the
old Fifth Baptist Church on D street.
between FOur-and-a-half and Sixth

Blaine's body was taken 10 the
mOrgue. Coroner hewitt will summon

Workmen employed by the L.ohr
Wrecking and CoasUructioa COMPANY
have been razing the old church for a
week or more.
The wOrkmen were digging down un-
der the walls recently so that they
might be torn down easily. Yesterday
afternoon they finished digging. and
were preparing to throw a cable over
the wall.
Blaine and Miles were at the base of
the wall when other workmen started
10 put the cable around the top of it.
The weight of the workmen on the wall
is believed to have shaken il so that il
fell The wall cracked from east to
west The two men on the ground heard
the cracking. and looking up saw the
brick and mortar tumbling in on them.
Both started TO run Miles ESCAPED.
though a fall Of bricks. held together
by mortar. struck him.
Blaine was not so fortunate. The ton
or more OF brick and mortar struck him
on the head, and knocked him down.
He was badly mangled, and almost
every bone in his body was broken
When the other workmen saw the wall
quivering in the air as if undecided
which way to fall, they shouted warn
ing to Blaine and Miles, and then ran TO
the street. They soon got out Of range
of the flying debris After the wall col
lapsed they rushed back TO rescue
Blaine.
The debris was piled up six or eight
feet high on him. The laborers set 70
work to dig the man cut. After half an
hours work they came to the bodv
which was covered with mortar and
blood.

should be the privilege Of every teacher
TO hear patiently and reply courteously
