AN EDUCATED COOK NEEDED
Kitchen Experiments Are Often at the
Expense of the Physical WeIl-5e-

Social standing depends partly upon
the nature of the individuals calling
with regard to the preparation neces-
sary to the exercise Of his function
The civil engineer is presumed to be
a more agreeable companion for cul-
tured persons than the stable boy, be-
cause Of his education. The lawyer is
required to know more than the sea-
venger. The surgeon is likely to be
more widely read than the pugilist.
The diplomat is, presumably, better
Informed than the chimney sweep.
The cook, as at present constituted.
belongs at the bottom rung of the So
cial ladder, because her calling has
no educational requirements. The In.

One OF the American dramatic crit

says, with what he calls the deadly
curtain call" He objects especially
to the call that is taken on the open

the dramatic effect OF the scene pre-.

drama we are bound to admit that
our own actors and actresses are ILL

stage at the end of the last act The
incongruity of the thing cannot but

COULDN'T STAND THE RACKET
Philadelphia Who Went Up Against
New Yerk's Noise Soon Hit the
Trail for Home.

A prominent New York broker tells
a good story on one of his older broth
ers. For many years their lives have
run along different lines and they
have grown out of touch with each
other. The younger is accustomed
to hurly-burly Of city life, but his
brothers course has been much quiet.
er. twenty-five years ago he received
an appointmentin one of the museums
in Washington, and he seems to have
become part of that institution. The
particular section that he has In
charge does not require him ever to
leave town, and he has stayed right
there in Washington. .... So.
Occasionally the younger brother
would go down to the capital for a
visit and would never leave without
having repeatedly urged the older one
to get out of the rut, II only once in a
while and If only for a short time.
He never achieved anything until a
few weeks ago. Then he succeeded IN
getting promise to come to New
York, and the promise was kept.
The visitor was taken to see some
of the sights and things that moved
pretty swiftly. They travelled in taxi,
cabs, street cars and IL" trains. The
New Yorker did it without effort, but
the big brother was In a state OF
breathlessness all the time. They
turned in late and tired out.

down he said he was going out to the

COUNTRY BOYS, THINK TWICE

Into City Life.

Before making q plunge into city
life, country boys should ask them
selves what is really to be gained by
1t. Perhaps in their quiet, rural home
some stray advertisement has reached
them, promising to young men high
salaries for light work.
Hundreds of advertisements are
framed for the special purpose of de-
cetving the unwary. They accomplish
their purpose, however, and a large
number Of young men rush up to the
city, dazzled by the confusion of prom.

A boy from the farm answers ono
OF these ads. Life may have been
slow at home, but there was always
good food and In plenty, and there
was some one to care for him In the
old farm house.
When he gets to the big city he
finds that the light work consists in
working all day in badly lighted and
fllsmeIling workshop, where scores of
other men and boys are employed at
wages hardly high enough to keep
body and soul together.
Wesau know what comes next. The
boy has LEFT home and is ashamed and
unwilling to return and he must take
the consequences and may find him

worked, Respondent and miserable.

failures which attend so many young
men who so to the city In pursuit of

 COURT JUSTICE BREWER.
Stricken With ApopIexy at 1o.So Last
 Night.

Washington, March 2s.-David Jo- siah Brewer, associate justice of the supreme court of the Unites States, died tonight at 103O o'clock from a stroke of apoplexy. His death occurr- ed in a minute or two, before he could be carried to his bed. Mrs. Brewer was with him when the end came He was 73 years of age
 The lend came altogether unexpect- edly. Although he had not been feel ing well for the past few days. the jurist was up and out today, appar- ently in the best of health and spirits He was in equally good spirits, ate dinner and spent the evening in read- ing.
 Shortly after 10 o'clock he retired to his room and within few moments Mrs. Brewer heard a heavy fall and went to investigate the cause. She found her husband prone upon the floor of the bathroom. He did not re- gain consciousness and died before physician, hastily summoned could reach the house.
 The two daughters of the justice, Mrs. James F. Carrich and Mrs H. B. Jetmore were summoned at once, but reached the residence too late.

300 PERSONS PERISH
 AT PUBLIC BALL.
Hungarian Villagers Were Penned In
 -OnIy Exit Was Sealed.

Mate-Szalka, Hungary. March 2S.- The village of Oekoerite and the ad- Jacent districts have been thrown into mourning by terrible disaster which occurred at the former place last night and which resulted in the death of be- tween 300 and 400 persons and the serious injury of 100 others A public ball was announced to be held at the hotel of the village, where the coach house had been fitted up as ball room. It was a great, barn. like structure, decorated with tinder- dry June branches left from a pre- vious entertainment to which were added for the occasion other decora- tons and Chinese lanterns. The fes- tivtty attracted pleasure seekers from the whole surrounding country and the building was so packed just before the ball commenced that the single door which afforded entrance and exit was nailed up to prevent the admit tance of scores who clamored out side.
 While the dancing was in full swing a pine branch caught fire and fell to the floor. It blazed furiously and all most instantly the dresses of several of the women burst into flames, which spread with astonishing rapidity. A dreadful panic enSued, the reVelers losing their heads completely. Many of them, with flames shooting out from their garments, rushed toward the barred exit, where a surging mass were jammed together. Women and men fell and were trampled under foot. Those in front vain1y endeav- ored to tear open the door but were crushed helplessly by the pressure of the crowd behind. The roaring, crack ling flames mingled with the despair ing shrieks of the doomed throng.
 Soon the roof crashed in. the blaz- ing wreckage falling upon the helpless victims, so that many of those who had hitherto escaped the flames were struck down by beams or buried un- der the debris. The scene was horri- flying.
 When the door finally was broken in. some few escaped. but most of these collapsed before they got far. Inside the building were heaps of charred corpses and heart-rending screams and groans still were audi ble from the smoking piles. detach- ment of troops was ordered to the scene to clear the wreckage and help bury the dead.
 The official estimate as given to- night states that 290 persons perished, but it is believed that the total death roll will prove much larger than this, for many persons have not been ac- counted for.

AT THE AUDITORIUM.
Vaudeville and Motion Pictures.

There were big crowds at the Audi torium on Monday at matinee and eve ming performances and the well bal anced bill drew plenteous applause for every number In the topline place is the Horseshoe trio, composed of two men and a woman, who have a little comedy sketch that is brimming with laughs from start to finish and is ca pably brought out by the clever three. For many a novel and skilfully execut ed clog step, O'Rourke and O'Rourke, the older and the younger, got a great hand whether dancing single or dou- ble, and the younger O'Rourke is heard in solo in pleasing voice.
 Victor Shaker, ventriloquiSt has something new in that line, using a telephone for some of his effects, and also walking down through the audi ence to show his admiral ble voice pro- duction without moving his lips. There is a comedy wire act by Richards and Steele, two women; the one on the wire appearing as an intoxicated hobo and doing fine work in equilibrium stunts. Among the best are skipping a rope and jumping through hoops OF the wire, all bringing out enthusi- aStic applause. Marion Bradley has a pretty illustrated song. Jungle Moon, which she renders in a pleasing way, and the Auditorium duo has an attrac- tive number. The moving pictures are all of the better class, free from ob- jectionable features.
