CHICKEN STEW AND DUMPLTNC;.
Cut up the chicken and stew slowly
in less than pint OF water or as
little as viii make sure against scorch-
ing, adding n piece of salt pork. For
stew the fowl or comparatively old
birds have stronger flavor and are the
most economical, as they sell for low
or price The longer stewinE will make
them amply tender and the chickens
will cook in about an hour or less,
while the old birds will take from two
to four hours.
About 90 minutes before serving drop
in the dumplings and increase the fire,
t. cook more rapidly. salt and more
water should be added before the
are put in and the amount
of liquid should he sufficient to make
gravy for the dumplinRs and some over
for future use.
Cover tightly and watch closely to
see that the gravy does not burn.

is playing at the Ninth street play
house for the second time this season.
In the play, of course, the travels Of
the pair are of longer duration than the
series of cartoons which depict their
mirth provoking antics in daily news
papers The play is one big laugh from
start to finish. The love element, Of
course. entered and serves to complicate
matters. The music is original. catchy,
and acts with restful effect between the
laughs. ..-ar
A great career is that of Mutt and
Jeff in the play. They start at race
track in Saratoga and wind up in South
America They play the revolutionary
game in every imaginable way. The
plot-if there Is any plot-concerns the
attempts of an American millionaire and
young civil engineer to obtain pos
session of valuable lands in Nicadora.
r. F. Freeman, as Mutt, and Gus
Alexander the best-ever little jeff, keep
the audience in the throes of laughter
for two and half hours with their
nonsensical escapades. Miss Flora Rus
sells singing and dancing is decidedly
the hit of the evening. Miss Cecfle Cum
mings makes the most of a ridiculous
role. Charles S. Wimsatt Is well known
here and received much applause for
his excellent work as the race track

It is said that nearly I0.0o0 persons
attended the first days showing of
talking and moving pictures at Chase's 5
Theater, which has inaugurated the
summer season with continuous per-
formances from / TO II o'clock. Of
course. all interest centers on the
much-heralded invention of Thomas A.
Edison, the talking motion pictures.
Opening this part of the performance
is an announcer who explains. with the
aid of a Photographic apparatus the
merits of the great wizards newest
production. He then presents a bug
Ter, a female violinist, a pianist and 4
soprano soloist. In harmony with
movements of the various artists
sounds are reproduced and one almost
imagines seeing the players in real

This is followed by the Edison mill
s;rels in the first part of a show. The
interlocutor. ballad singers, end men
and full orchestra appear.
For the other pictures the Kinema-

reel is Vengeance Is Mine" With the
exception of the talking pictures the
