paper on THE Block Kitchen" They argued
that. while tho business OF eating was by nature
individualistfc one there was no reason why
the preparation OF the food should not be .ccom-
plished on a socialstic plan
The exponent Of 'the block Kitchen Hiss
Eva J. Turner, suggested that the kitchen should
be in the centre OF the block and that the food
should be shot into the houses through pneu-
matte tubes. She admitted that che liked roast
beef cooked in her own kitchen better than the
publicly cooked variety, but she thought that
the lesser should be sacrificed 10 the greater
good.
There are bigger things In life than even
a hot biscuit for breakfast" she remarked, in
response 10 a woman who said she could not
give UP this article of diet and must have it pre-
pared IN her own kitchen.
But the block kitchen will only be a benefit
Miss Turner continued, If the women use the
time they gain to good purpose. When they
got the sewing machine they simply began put
ting in tucks and putting on ruffies and chang
ing the fashion Of their gowns every six months
until they were buster than they were before
Some of the Single Takers agreed with Miss
Turner and some did not One was so violently

and life would be dreadfuliy monotonous
The delegates represented about half dozen
states. and the convention rather smaller
than previous had been. The president,
Mrs. John S. Crosby. said 1t much smaller
than the one held two years ago, and declared
that the local presidents must have been neg
lectful Of their duty to allow such a thing to
occur. She was that there was growing
interest among women in the single tax. and
this interest ought she thought, to be reflected
in the membership of the league.
This morning the women will visit and deco
rate the grave of Henry George, in Greenwood
Cemetery and this evening they will dine at
Edgett's. The convention will close tomorrow
with business session.

Washington, July 9.-Henry H.

to inquire into and report to con-
gress its conclusions concerning the
laws relative to second-class mail
matter; Sunday issued an announce.
nent that the first session will be
held at the Holland house, New York,
at noon October 1, 1906. The an
louncement in part follows:
"The report of the postmaster gen.
sral for the fiscal year ended June 30,
1905, shows that the cost of maintain
ng the entire postal service for that
year was approximately $4,000, 900,
and that the revenue from all sources
was approximately $153, 900. Sec
,nd-class matter constituted approx
mately two-thirds Of the matter han
died, while 1t yielded but $3.50, 467.54,
Or about one-twenty-fourth of the rev.
enue derived from postage. Not only
bas the postal revenue suffered by
reason of the undue expansion of this
class Of matter as compared with 9TH
ar classes, but in dealing with the
matter itself the postal service is
hampered at every step by difficulties
and perplexities of administration"
The system as a whole, the report
rays, lacks uniformity and is confus-
ng to publisher and official alike.
The report says the inquiry will be
specially directed towards determin.
ng whether the revenue from the
mail matter should not

ual cost Of the service rendered in
it; If not, what limitations
hould be placed upon the matter
which may properly be embraced in

Owing to the great number of pub
Ications concerned the committee
eemed 1t impracticable to extend the
rivilege of the hearing to individual
publishers. Each national organiza-
lon will be heard orally by not to

ated by the organizations, and those
lasses of publications not having reg.

In the drawing room the fire
cracked cheerily on the Dutch hearth.
The corners Of the room were in deep
shadow, except when the fire sent out
shoots Of light that died as soon as
they were born.
In a big arm chair, staring into the
fire, her little chin in her hands, sat
pretty Mrs. Harling, with a slight
culver at the corners of her mouth and
nostrils. There was thin gold chain
round her neck, which, going abruptly
up to her left hand, held locket con-
tanning the portrait of her husband,
the man from whom she had been sep
arated for three months. Yet-not
queerly, because she was a woman
she was pressing the miniature against
her cheek.

FIVE STAGES ROBBED.
A Lone Bandit Halted the vehicles
I'm Yosemite Valley in Rapid
Succession and Disappeared.

WSwona, Cal, July 9.-Five Yb-
semitic valley stages were held up
Saturday afternoon by a lone high
wayman, who obtained a considerable
amount Of money and jewelry from
the passengers. The conveyances
were halted in rapid succession at a
curve in the road near Ahwahnee, at the
Identical spot where a lone bandit OPP
Grating year ago relieved several
wealthy tourists of their valuables.
The stages were travelling sufficiently
far apart to avoid each others dust,
and when the first vehicle reached the
turn in the road the highwayman,
whose features were completely hidden
by a duster thrown over his head,
stepped out, pointed gun at the dri-
yer and commanded him to halt,
Some Of the women passengers
screamed but others began without de
lay to secrete their valuables. The
highwayman directed all passengers
TO throw out their money and jewelry,
and when the order met with compli-
ance, directed the driver to move on
ahead. The second stage arrived
within few minutes and the driver
and passengers suffered a similar ex-
perience. The process was repeated
until ali Eve had been halted and
robbed. when the bandit disappeared
In the brush.

AFTER HIGH OFFICIALS.
BOme of the Biggest and Most TnnU-
entiRl Railway Men Will Prob
ably BE Prosecuted.

Cleveland, July 9.-Federal officials
announced Sunday that G.. ]. Gram
mar, traffic manager Of the New York
Central lines west of Buffalo, would
not be called as a witness before the
grand jury which meets Monday to
begin the work Of ferreting out vio-
laters Of the interstate commerce and
anti-rebate laws.
The announcement that Grammar
would not be called was accompanied
with the statement that the govern
ment would not be put in position
where any high railway official could
claim immunity from prosecution on
the part of the government because
he had been compelled to give testi-
mony before the grand jury.
Service was secured Sunday on N.
H. Anspach, head of the tariff and
schedule bureau Of the Lake Shore
railway. Anspach will be asked to
bring tariff sheets running back
number Of years.
The action Of Sunday reveals def
nitely the plans Of the government
officials to strike at some Of the big
gest and most influential railway men
In the country. All of the plans for
the session of the grand jury were re-
viewed in minute detail by the gov
eminent attorneys during their con-
ference Sunday. At the end of the
conference the opinion was expressed
that the cases were well in hand.
