A. propaganda is now going forward
In WASHINGTON which is destined to
raise the standard Of culinary art, not
only in humble homes, but In those or
the rich, the highly placed and the ceie-
bEated Mrs FGo 0dorsem eat 'ne
The president s wife is one OF those
women who hold that the family table IS
the bond Of family union and the source
of family affection.
One Of the genuine 1nnovations,o OF the
coming season. therefore, will be the
cooking schools, conducted In prlva!e
homes for the busiest of the women IN
official life, and in classes for those who
can give the art more time and study.
There have been several mlstresses OF
the White House who thought it not be-
meath their dignity to descend to lower
regions and superintend the MAKING
ready for a feast. Mrs. John Adams,
in one of her charming letters TO n 1e,,
daughter, complains Of the eareless y
of negro cooks and declares that they
would never Hbaste' the turkey right
If she did not stand by to- command.
Dolly Madison had a famous recipe Tor
apple custard, which is part OF the
legacy of her descendants. ].
If the eager plans now contempt
are carried to success dinner parties IN
Washington will takessa new lease Of
life. Few cities which have reputa-
tions as social centers are as spiritless
in the matter of getting up banquets
MS Washington has been. For several
seasons past ambitious Shostesses desir-
ing to give big dinner parties ordered
their menus complete from the best
caterers. Many event hired hesdishes,
the silver and the walters, until it got
to besa standing joke, partic ularly with
the diplomats.
In the days before the coming Of the
Roosevelts it was customary for the
president Is banquet to be prepared at
the big restaurants, but now san accom-
plished chef attends to- all details, with
mistress who knows exactly how each
dish should be served, to pass judy
ment. eaf
Mrs. Roosevelt, like many other care
full housekeepers, is fond Of trying new
recipes Scarcely a day passes that she
does not clip some new method of pre-
pairing daintiess from papers and maya
zines. and these are placed in a book te

Aluani Association

A new alumni association was formed
this year under the special guidance of
Matthew Caine and Roy Williams and
already has accomplished good deal in
arousing the alumni and bringing tnem
into closer relations with the students
and with each other. It is termed the F..
H. $. Alumni Athletic association, and
will devote the major part of it's ener-
gies to improving athletic conditions at
the high school. Several successful
alumni reunions have been arranged by
the association and others are. in prep
aration. The members have in rehearsal
a clever play which will be given soon
after the Easter vacation.

western cities. A store is opened and
announced as the agency Of q Boston
dealer in antiques. The stuff is sold at
auction after a time of private sale,
and then the business moves on to some
other city.
HThis mandatory was originally
opened to supply the demand for an
tiques in the towns of the east. One Of
its purposes was to manufacture the
goods which would be used to plant -
country house accessible to some pop
ular summer resort. In the middle OF
the season a sale Of the antique furni-
ture would be announced. Unsuspect-
ing city visitors bought in large guam
titles. A second or third sale would
be held, until the most incredulous per-
sons used to wonder how SO much furni-
ture and china could be stored in
place that had been absolutely sold out
at least twice before that summer. That
trick is still tried with some success in
the west and in the southern towns,
where the northern visitors are numerous
enough to make it profitable Another
factory less extensive now exists in
Phila delphia.
Sometimes the output Of old Hepple-
white, Sheraton and Chtppendale from
these two factories reaches New York,
but as rule the local supply is manu-
featured here on a less wholesale scale.
In the end there Is just as much fake
furniture turned out in New York, but
it is made in smaller lots. 49,
Old Wood Not Necessarily Good.
"a typical method of manufacturing
antiques in New York. said Fifth
avenue dealer, is one employed by a
dealer not far from here. Half a mile
from his place of business he has sta
bic. There ten men work. Some of
them are Italians and some are Jews.
They are rather inefficient makers Of
furniture, who would not be EMPLOYED
In any good shop. They spend all their
time putting mahogany veneer on fur
niture that is made of other woods.
Sometimes the wood is old, but that
does not necessarily mean that it is
good.
8 will tell you how the old wood
IS obtained: There is no end Of sec
ond-hand furniture. The country is
full of it. But it has no value and
never did have. "A chest OF drawers
may be made out of plain cherry or
any other cheap wood. This NAV be

any. ornamented, with cheap brass
handles.
This old wood is useful in deceiv-
ing persons who look at the back of
these cheaply manufactured pieces,
and, seeing what looks like old wood,

Residents Of the East Side sometimes
fail to appreciate the unusual opportu-
mites for instruction and culture af-
forded by the East high school. Within
few years this institution has expand
ed from an enrolment of few hun
dred to preparatory school Of more
graduates to prominent colleges Of
the country, but more especially to the
University Of Minnesota.
This rapid growth and progress is
due in great measure to the principal,
W. F. Webster, who has conducted the
school for the last thirteen years. With
practically no rules Of conduct, he has
governed the students more by his
manner than his speech, and has gath

The buying public seems more credu-
lous about antique furniture than about
anything else upon which it spends It's
money. So long as the article looks
old|a and the dealer says that it is, pur-
.chasers are apparently willing to buy.
Women, who make up SO large a share
Of the purchasers Of these goods, would
never give their money for furs or silk

some special knowledge, yet they will

Tells of Interest Held By
Wabash and Sante Fe
Roads in Coal Mines.

With the examination OF witnesses to-
day. principally with reference to the
Erie railroad, the Interstate Commerce
Commission will close its work in the
coal Investigation until next fall. The in
Quiry into the relation Of the railroads
TO the coal fields that ship bituminous
coal to tidewater is now practically
complete so far as the taking of testi-
mony is concerned. Were Congress not
TO adjourn in a few days, a report on
this branch of the investigation would
be made. This report will probably be
ready for Congress when 1t reconvepes.
The record is quite voluminous, covering
nearly 1000 tynewritten pages.
James G.. Gardner, vice president of
the Blossburg Coal Company, was the
first witness called today. This com
pany operates mines in Tioga county.
Pa. and sells nearly all its coal to the
Erie for fuel. He told of the allotment
OF cars TO his mines by the Erie.
Mr.. Gardner, who is an exert mining
engineer, and looks just Ike Andrew
Carnegie, was questioned about his tech
meal examination of the West Virginia
Fairmont district mines. He knew OF
no railroad officials who owned an in
terest in them. In discussing coal mat
ters in the West he said the Wabash
had some interest in the Consolidated
Coal Company of ST Louis. He told OF
his building UP the fuel supply for the
Santa Fe railroad. 1t had to purchase
coal mines in order to insure its supply
of fuel coal. 'In that case the owner
ship Of coal mines.' said he, worked
nothing but good"
Three years after he left the Santa
Fe. he testified. strong operating COM
pany, the Colorado Fuel and Iron Com
pany, was organized and the railroad
leased its mines to this company This
arrangement is now irT-force.
Joseph Auerbach. a New York lawyer,
who had charge Of the organization Of
the Fairmont Coal Company. in 1901 was
called He declared that so far as he
knew. no officials o. the Baltimore and
Ohio were interested in this deal.
With this the commission adjourned

the whole affair was q great ordeal 20

she was very pale and she was exceed
ingly tired at its conclusion.
At intervals during the ceremony the
coronation cantata by Pastor Skavlan
was sung IN the form OF divisions. This
was the prettiest part Of the whole ser
vice, as the cantata was really a musi-
cal poem Of the nature Of an oratorio
and the harmony filled the whole church
with the beautiful songs.

were placed under the main and central
