The Hall of Columbian University Filled With Ladies—The Need of Diet Kitchens Shown. Miss Helen Louise Johnson, whose course of lectures on cooking at the Pure Food Exposition at Convention Hall, have proved occupied. Her remarks, which were full of practical and valuable suggestions, were Ustened to with the closest attention, and every housekeeper in the gathering went home fully impressed with what she had heard, and determined to put some, at leaet,* of the suggestions into immediate effect. Importance of the Subject. Miss Johnson began her lecture by re- ferring to the importance of the subject as demonstrated by the effect that food, whether good, bad or different, has upon | the people. Good food, she said, is an im- mediate cause of good morals, and great goed is being done in this matter by the efforts of sanitary leagues. In the days of our grandmothers there was no room in their education for the subject of do- mestic economy, but we are beginning to realize something of its real importance. A woman’s home is her palace, and there is as much room for proper and wise manage- ment here as there is in the running of a Amended. An Interesting Relic of Lorenso Dow, of Interest to All. The bill of Mr. Lamar of the Maryland legislature, which provides for the appro- Priation of $70,000 with which to settle the numerous small claims held by laborers and material men against the Chesapeake and Ohio caral for labor and material fur- nished prior to the flood of I88Y, has been amended. It was suggested to the legis- lator that, as many of these claims had been parted with in hours of dire necersity for comparatively nothing, speculators would be the ones who would mostly profit by the passage of his bill. The amendment therefore provides that in any case where the holder of claims purchased them for less than their face value the board of public works ts directed to purchase the same upon the offer of the holder, who shall assign all his right, title and interest in claim and also relinquish to the original holder the difference between the face value of the certificates and the amount they were bought for, and there- after the original claimant will be paid the difference. In any case where the amount of the purchase has been forgotten a com- promise is to be effected between the pres- ent and original owners. A great many of these claims are now held by Georgetown merchants, who have taken them in ex- change for goods. Relic of Lorenzo Dow. department. Scientific housekeeping is the| Mr. Ralph C.

Girls should be educated as well as | relic of the once famous itinerant preacher the boys, and from this standpoint Wash- ington is far ahead of any other city in the country, as it should be, for the nation’s capital ought to be the center of culture and learning. It is the duty of a college girl to study ecientitc housekeeping, for upon her rests the safety of the country in setting the pace for her sisters. Value of Domestic Economy. Domestic economy is of a practical, not to say pecuniary value. This Miss Johnson proved by showing that, for example, a miner’s family on a very limited income live in an extravagant manner, not too well, but recklessly. Through ignorance and waste more is spent on living poorly than would be required to live twice as well if discretion and education were used. She would not be understood as saying that all young women in the land cught to be- come professional cooks. It would, for one It it were practicable Tor al, but every girl if it were cable for all, bu , pry of the science As to Diet Kitchen. The speaker devoted a good deal of her address to a consideration of the need for Lorenzo Dow, consisting of the small trunk he carried his worldly in on all his trips from town to town. The trunk bears the initials L. D. Lorenzo who is said to have preach- ed to more people than any minister of his time, was mostly noted for his zealousness in the cause of religion, his aversion to worldly possessions, his eccentricities and absolute ur selfishness. He traveled the Auantic coast frequently from Maine to Florida, went to Europe, was several times harshly treated in England by unsympa- thizers, and was later requested to preach within the walls of Congress. He died in Georgetown at the house of a believer, Mr. Haller, on the site now occu- pied by the store and dwelling numbered Tos ‘32d street, and was buried with Ma- sonic honors in Holmead's burying ground, at the head of 16th street. The remains, on the abolition of Holmead’s, were ST at Oak Hill, at the expense of W. Corcoran. The epitaph on the comacnonts slab which lies above the dust is said to have been written by the old preacher him- self sho: before his death. It reads as follows: no common road, bu’ to nature's God.” Dow wrote several religious works. starting diet kitchens in the large cities of | Wife Peggy acquired considerable rapeainen the land.

Maryland and Washington Railroad Com- ae has requested the Commissioners to a permit to that company to grade Rhode Island avenue within the limit of its charter, where the gitle is now in the United States for the laying of certain tracks of said company. Ask Leniency. A number of the residents in the neigh- borhood of %th and N streets northwest have appealed to the Commissioners for bagi in the case of J. W. Robertson, policeman, who was recently tried by the police trial board for leaving his beat. Fire Escapes. The attorney for the District today for- warded to the Commissioners the follow- ing amendment to section 3 of the fire es- cape law: “Provided, further, That as to any build- ing which the Commissioners shall deter- mine to be fire-proof, they may in their discretion require the erection of fire es- This amendment was suggested, says Mr. Thomas, by some gentleman interested in fire-proof buildings, and as there ap- Pears to be more necessity for a fire escape upon a building which is not fire-proof than one which is he thinks the above pro- viso @ proper one. Relaying Tracks. The Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Rail- road Company, through its general man- ager, has applied to the Commissioners for permission to relay its tracks from Florida avenue and Eckington place to 4th street extended and the Bunker Hill road, and that it be ordered to pave between said tracks with cobble on such streets as are now paved. Destroyti Tree Boxes. The parking commission has notified the Commissioners that the slats in the tree boxes in the vicinity of Connecticut and Florida avenues are being destroyed by boys in the employ of the Metropolitan railroad, and suggests that the police be instructed to arrest the guilty parties. A Disputed Lease. The attorney for the District is investi- gating the case of the Norfolk and Wash- ington Steamboat Company, which some time ago leased a wharf from the District at $1,000 per annum. When the rent was recently called for it was developed that while the lease appeared proper on its face it was in fact unauthorized by the com. pany’s board of directors. It was ‘“s claimed that the property leased had never occupied. The steamboat company desires to comyromise the matter, and the attorney asks for all information upon the subject. —_——.
