Thoughtful and observant persons do not need a demonstration that the senses are less keen in woman than in man. Their own experience has revealed that natural law. But since we are not all thoughtful or observant, the experiments of Profs. Nichols and Brown are welcome. These American physiologists have begun to ex- Periment with the sense of smell. They took four substances most strongly odor- iferous—essence of clove, of garlic, of lemon and prussic acid. Each of these they dl- luted with pure water in a growing pro- Pertion, filling a set of bottles at every degree of the scale, until the last set rep- resented one part of the test substance to 2,000,000 parts of waters. Then they shuf- fled the bottles, so to speak, and called in forty-four men and thirty-eight women, chosen from the various ranks of life, all young and healthy. These representatives of either sex were instructed to rearrange the bottles, guided by the sense of smell, putting each set of tinctures by itself—gar- lic with garlic, lemon with lemon, etc. To put results shortly, the women were not in it. None of them could t prussic acid beyond the dilution of 20,000 parts to 1, while most of the men traced it up to 100,000 parts. Three of the latter actually passed the extreme limit, identifying prus- sic acid at a single part in 2,000,000. Be- | yond 100,000 parts all the women failed to | recognized essence of lemon; detected it at 250,000. This proportion rep- resents their average superiority all around Toulon | all the men | tion to the com HARD UPON THE POOR The Cold Weather Brings Suffering in Its Train. RELIEF WORK GOES STEADILY ON, But the Committee is Swamped With Applications. MANY PITIFUL INCIDENTS. ‘With a prospective snow storm, to be fol- lowed by a cold wave, the poor people of the city have very little encouragement for the near future at any rate, and should the weather bureau prove the accuracy of their forcast, the suffering is sure to increase. The rain and hail storm last night and the cold weather this morning brought out the applicants for aid in large numbers today, and the room of the central relief commit- tee displayed evidence of a portion of the suffering that is being endured. The appli- cants, mostly women and children, appeared early in the morning, and during the day Mr. Wall, the committee's clerk, was kept busy recording the names and referring the cases. There were as many as fifteen or twenty. women in the room at a time and quite a number of them were there asking for shoes. The demand for footgear was very large, although many persons were anxious to get a few dollars rent money. In a number of instances mothers begged for shoes for their children who are attend- ing school, while some of the women them- selves were virtually barefooted and with- out the necessary clothjng to protect them from the wintry winds. "Requests were also made for food ‘and fuel as well as for var- fous articles of wearing apparel. The clerk had at his disposal some few articles of clothing and shoes, which were distributed by members of the committee. In almost every case in which assistance was asked there were children, some families having as many as nine small children dependent upon unemployed parents for food and at- tention. The names recorded and referred outnumbered those of yesterday lost two to one. What is Being Done. Mr. Wall said to a Star reporter that some orders for shoes had been given on Mr. Hahn, who had donated them, and he also said that some of the supervising principals of the schools have some chil- dren's shoes for distribution. Chief Clerk Sylvester of the police depart- ment was also kept busy today hearing saf stories of suffering, and rendering assist- ance as far as his funds would permit. Several large families in South Washington were assisted, and in these cases the cir- cumstances were particularly sad. One colored woman, who has five small children, was ejected from her room in a house on Dingman street last evening during the storm, and she was given a small contribu- _ to pay for @ rvom in some other local- ity. A Sad Case. A young woman, the mother of three children, visited the Police Court and police headquarters this afternoon ‘and related as sad story of cruel treatment at the hands of men who threw her things into the street last evening. She said that her husband, who was worthless, did not live with her and that she owed one month’s rent. She did not receive any notice to move, and when four men appeared at her house on I street southeast between 6th and 7th streets and threw her few household effects in the street she was completely surprised. One of the neighbors took her in and is caring for her temporarily. What makes the case particularly sad ts the fact that she had to bury her mother today. Mr. Sylvester rendered temporary relief, and an effort will be made to prose- cute the agent for the house and the men who removed her goods. This, however, is only one of the many sad cases reported. Mr. Sylvester today received from some clothing merchants a large bundie of large size men’s clothes. Donations will be received at the room of the central relief committee and by the police at any time and distributed where it will do the most good. THE APPEAL FOR FUNDS. How Department Employes Can Give— Experiences of Canvassers. Reports are being received by Chairman ‘Truesdell of the committee on canvass in- dicating that the subcommittees are active- ly at work in every part of the District. Already contributions of money are begin- ning to come in and pledges of supplies and clothing. The canvassing committee had yesterday to deal with a serious question. It has been generally expected that there would be a canvass made in the department buildings among the officials and employes of the government, and this expectation, it was thought, had prevented contributions being made to the canvassers who have called at the houses of clerks. The matter has been considered by the cabinet, and that body has decided that it would be un- wise to permit a formal canvass to be made by the citizens’ committee in the govern- ment building: This decision made it necessary for the executive committee to consider some other means of reaching the thousands of employes of the government who form so large a part of the population of Washington. While the house-to-house canvass may reach many of them, it is thought that there might be hundreds who are not householders who would not be given an opportunity to contribute by the means already provided by the committee. The committee finally decided as the best means of Securing the contributions of all the government employes who may be wil- ling to give to issue an appeal, and state in it how contributions might be forwarded to the canvassing committee. In compliance with this decision Chairman Truesdell last night Issued the following: An Appeal to Department Employes. The heads of the executive departments have declined to permit a formal canvass to be made by the citizens’ committee in the government buildings, and therefore made it impossible for the committee to reach all of the thousands of employes of the government by direct personal appeal. For this reason a general appeal is address- ed to the department employes, who form so large and so important a part of this community. The government employes are fortunate in the enjoyment of regular and undiminished incomes at a time when many are out of employment. If every one of these fortunate ones gave but a sinall per- centage of his monthly salary, the fund thus formed would save many deserving families from hunger and cold. The central relief committee has expend- ed all but a few hundred dollars of the money contributed by citizens, and the calls for relief are increasing in number. There’ are thousands of families in the District in want because there is no work for their bread winners. It is believed that the dis- tress, which even now exceeds anything known in the history of the city, will be- come much greater as scanty stores of savings become exhausted. In the past no appeal for a deserving cause was ever made in vain to the em- ployes of the government departments, and it is believed they will now respond gen- erously to the cry of the destitute for food, of the infirm and sick, and of helpless chil- dren for warmth and shelter and protection against the rigors of winter. The citizens’ committee, therefore, begs every govern- ment employe to give. It is hoped the clerks in every room or in every division will choose one of their num- ber to serve this committee and this cause by receiving and accounting for their con- tributions. Where this is not done it is trusted every clerk will forward his own contribution to the chairman of the citl- zens’ committee on canvass either directly or through a member of the district com- arr toa in the district where the clerk re- sides. To those to whom either of these modes of | transmission may be inconvenient, it 1s suggested that “contributions will ‘be re- ceived and accounted for at the offices of the daily newspapers. Pledges of subseriptions to be payable after the 1st of the coming month may be forwarded, with the addresses of the sub- scribers, and members of the committee will cafl at the addresses given to collect the amounts pledged at the time named. It is earnestly hoped that every employe of the government will avail himself of one | of these methods of sending his contribu- ttee. GEORGE TRUESDELL, Chairman Citizens’ Committee on Canvass. | Room 20, Washington Loan and Trust building. The canvassing committees in different parts of the city are having interesting ex- periences. It is a common testimony among them that,as a rule,those who are not partic- ularly well-to-do give more promptly and generously in response to theircalls than those from whom one might naturally expect to receive the largest contributions. In but. EXPECTED BISMARCK Hundreds of Germans Were Disap- pointed Today. few cases have reports been made that the | DRATH QF SIR GERALD PORTAL canvassers have been treated rudely. In every part of the city residents seem to recognize that the canvassers have given themselves to a work which some one must do, and even where they do not give, they cheer them on their way with kind words. In one case a lady engaged in canvass- ing, after having some discouraging experi- ences, had her .spirits revived by the thoughtfulness of one gentleman who sent to her house a check for $50, with a note stating that he would not give her the trouble to have to retrace her steps to his house in order to secure his contribution. Many other pleasant stories are related. In one case a canvasser was received in a luxurious house very stiffly by the lady of the house, who declined to give and seemed to regard the visit of the canvasser as an impertinent intrusion. When the canvasser was leaving the servant at the door, who evidently knew something of the needs of the poor, gave the canvasser a dollar, with a word of apology because she could not give more. The indications are that the canvass will produce a large amount of supplies. Estimates as to the sum of money to be raised differ widely, and since the action of the cabinet in de- clining to permit a canvass of the depart- ments those who made high estimates have reduced them, as it was believed that the department employes, who are the only large class in the community having ready money at stated intervals, would be in the aggregate the largest contributors to the relief fund. ———— es COULD NOT BE CONFIRMED. So Mr. Taylor and Mr, Astwood Are Not to Be Reappointed. The recent conference between the Presi- dent’ and a committee of the Negro Demo- cratic League, looking to the recognition of colored democrats in the distribution of federal patronage, has again drawn atten- tion to the cases of Mr. C. J. H. Taylor and Mr. Astwood. During the extra ses- sion of Congress the former was nominated as minister to Bolivia and the latter as consul to Calais. The nomination of Mr. Taylor lapsed with the session an@ that of Mr. Astwood was rejected. At the reas- sembling of Congress in regular session in December it was predicted that both men would be renominated, although there was considerably more doubt of such action in the case of Mr. Astwood than in that of Mr. Taylor. Congress has now been in session nearly two months. Neither of the nominations referred to has been made, and 1c is said that the committee of the Negro Democratic League which talked with the President on the subject is satisfied that the President does not contemplate renomi- mating either of them. This determination on his part is said to be due to a conviction that they stand no chance of confirmation. He has a high opinion of Mr. Taylor, but is skeptical of his confirmation as minister to Bolivia, in view of intimations that that government would look with disfavor on the appoint- ment of a colored man as the diplomatic representative of the United States. That the league is satisfied that Mr. Taylor is not to be accredited to Bolivia is indicated by the fact that it has urged his appoint- ment as recorder of deeds of the District of Columbia. This action on the part of the league was taken on the assumption that Mr. Bruce's successor will be a colored man of the democratic party, regardless of his place of residence. In case the Presi- dent decides to select a colored democrat of the District for this office, the league has several good men belonging to that organi- zation to suggest, but if the “home rule” principle is to be ignored, its members are united on Mr. Taylor. The committee discussed this question with the President, and while they were satisfied that the office would go to a color- ed man, they obtained no direct informa- tion as to his identity, nor were they at all enlightened as to whether he was likely to be a local man or an outsider. As one of the committee expressed it to @ Star reporter: “The President is going to do the right thing in this matter. He is interested in our cause and will stand by us. Whatever he does will be right. You can be sure of that.” + e=-—______ CROWDS AT THE W. L. I. ARMORY. The Pure Food Exposition Mrs. Rorer's Lectures Attract Large Gatherings. The attendance at the original food ex- Position continues to increase daily and notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather last evening the Light Infantry Armory was crowded. Mrs. Rorer lectured to the usual large nimber of persons on the subject of “Our daily bills of fare,” and told an interesting story of the meth- ods of preparing breakfast dishes. She stated that breakfast and dinner should be the two meals of the day, while lunch could always be made of left-overs from dinner. She stated that oatmeal, while a simple dish, should be properly prepared and in order to do this it should be thor- oughly well cooked. Instead of boiling it for only a few minutes in the morning it should be allowed to gently simmer all night, This afternoon Mrs. Rorer lectured upon pastry and instructed the many house- wives present in the mysteries of preparing French paste and other palatable jishes. The orphans from St. Vincent’s Asylum were present this afternoon and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Tonight will be “sample” night and the exhibitors will distribute samples with a lavish hand. Prof. F. Pohndorff will lecture tonight at 8:30 on “White wines and generous wines. Tomorrow night Mrs. Rorer, by request, will give a special lecture on “plain pas- try.” Her directions for French paste were as follows: French Paste. If directions are carefuly followed French paste is easily made, and has one redeem- ing feature, a child can make it as well as an experienced cook, and failure seems im- possible. First we must have a pastry flour, soft winter wheat the best, good but- ter and a cold room. Weigh a half pound of flour; put it into the dish and make a well in the center. Wash a half pound of butter in ice water until it is soft and elas- tic, not enough to take out the salt, but to wash away a portion and break up the oil cells. In other words, to change the tex- ture! of the butter. It must be soft to the touch and light. Now take from this mass a plece the size of an egg and put it in the center of your flour. Add half a teaspoon- ful of salt, same of sugar, half the white of one egg, and then work in gradually half a cup of ice water and the flour. When the whole is well mixed take it on a board and knead just as you would bread. When the dough ts elastic and has lost its stickiness cut it in halves, and roll each half out in a sheet about the size of a breakfast plate. Take the remaining quan- tity of washed butter, dry it on a napkin, put it on the sheet nearest to you, dust thickly with flour, cover with the other sheet and pound lightly with the pin and roll from you into a large roll. Fold first the sides, and turn the paste around and roll from you, then fold and roll again, and stand on the ice for fifteen minutes to Test. Bring it to the board, roll and fold twice again, and stand aside a second time. Do this four times, until the paste has had four rests and eight roils. Roll it in a towel and stand aside over night, and it is ready for use. If carefully wrapped will keep for four, five or six days; in winter longer. —_—_____ UNFIT FOR FOOD. That is How the Health Officer Looks Upon Undrawn Poultry. Health Officer Hammett ts of the opinion that undrawn poultry is unfit for food, and he has made up his mind to secure legis- lation in the matter if possible. Before preparing a bill to be submitted to Con- gress the health officer intends gathering information on the subject from the var- lous large cities, and to that end he has ad- dressed different health officers a letter asking about the matter in question. —— Cadets Appointed.

BERLIN, Jan. 25.—As the time approach- es for the arrival here of Prince Bismarck on his visit to the emperor the excitement caused by the announcement that he was surely coming increases in intensity and permeates all classes. A report gained cur- rency this morning that the ex-chancellor would reach the city early today. Thous- ands of persons credited the report, and at noon Unter Den Linden and the Lehrte railway station, where his highness will alight on his arrival from Friedrichsruhe, were crowded with people anxious to lend their voices to the cheers that will welcome the aged statesman to the city that has wit- nessed so many of his triumphs. They were disappointed, for the prince did not come, but this fact did not dampen the pent-up enthusiasm of the crowd, many of whom de clared that they would remain until he did arrive so as to give him a hearty welcome. At 12 o’clock a large number of the mem- bers of the landtag left the parliamentary building, all expressing great eagerness to ascertain if Prince Bismarck had left Friedrichsruhe. It is now stated that the prince will pos- sibly arrive here at 8:45 o'clock this evening. The rt circulated a few days ago that Count Herbert Bismarck had been snubbed by the emperor probably had no foundation in fact. It is not believed that with the negotiations pending for Prince Bismarck’s visit to Berlin his majesty, even had he felt so inclined, would have treated Count Her- bert discourteously. Another fact that stamps the report as untrue is that Count Herbert has received a command from the emperor to visit him at the castle. The gift of wine that accompanied the emperor's first autograph letter to Prince Bismarck was a case of Steinberger cabi- net of the vintage of 1842. The reichstag will tomorrow hold no ses- sion, adjourning over the day in honor of Prince Bismarck’'s visit. All Germany is interested in the rec@ tion by the emperor. The dispatches from South Germany state that many of the towns there are being or have been deco- rated in honor of the event, and that on every side expressions of approval sre heard that at last friendly relations are again established between the emperor and the old chancellor. Many thousands of students, among whom Prince Bismarck is a great favorite, | Propose to have a torch-light procession in his honor. If this idea is carried out Berlin will see one of the largest affairs of the kind ever witnessed. The people living along the route that the procession will probably take from the railway station are taking advantage of the desire ‘to witness the spectacle and are charging enormous prices for the privilege of using the win- dows of their residences. At about 2 o'clock this afternoon the crowds began to disperse, it having become known that Prince Bismarck would not arrive today. It has been arranged that the special train conveying the prince will leave Friedrichsruhe at such a time as will allow it to arrive here tomorrow afternoon. The Lehrte railway station, where the special train will come in, is located some distance from the palace. The route of the procession will probably be over the Moltke bridge, which spans the Spree, near the station, through Bis- marck Straase and the other streets skirting the Thiergarten to the Brandenburg gate; thence through Unter Den Linden, past the palace of Emperor Wiliam, the Opera House d the palace of Empress Fred- erick to the emperor's palace, where Prince Bismarck will reside during his sojourn in Berlin, as the guest of his majesty. All the streets along this route are being decorated in honor of the prince's visit. The people of Berlin will not be the only persons who will welcome the ex-chan- cellor. Trains arriving at the various sta- tions are bringing from all parts of the country thousands of people who intend to take part in the demonstration. It is doubtful if any event in recent years in Germany has created such widespread enthusiasm as the visit of the prince. ORDERED TO RIO AT ONCE. Admiral Duarte Told to Leave Per- mambuco With His Fleet. NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—The Herald’s Mon- tevideo cable says that their correspondent at Rio sends word that President Peixoto on Wednesday ordered Admiral Duarte, who commands the new fleet at Pernam- buco, to bring his ships to Rio immediately and no longer await the arrival of the ex- Pected torpedo boats from Germany to en- gage in the great naval fight. If Duarte disobeys this order some other officer will be put in charge of the squad- ron. Rear Admiral Benham has now assumed the position of senior officer of the foreign naval squadron there, much to the gutis- faction of all. One prominent English merchant here said this ruinous trouble, he felt sure, could be settled quickly if both sides would accept the mediation of United States Min- ister Thompson or Rear Admiral Benham. — would be the only mediators accept- able. The Herald’s correspondent in Pernam- buco, writing under date of January 14, says that Peixoto’s admiralty board has condemned the new cruiser America, pur- chased in the United States, as unfit to go into battle. They say she must have new boiler tubes, as the American engineers who brought her down from New York have burned them. They also declare that Ker gun decks must be materially strengthened be- fore she is fit to fight. All her munitions had been landed and stored in the Pernambuco arsenal, and workmen have been sent aboard of her to make the needed changes. This will be ac- complished about January 28. She will then be renamed the Andrada. The torpedo boat San Palo on her speed trial showed sixteen knots an hour. The Nictheroy has an entire Brazilian crew now. She lies anchored in the outer harbor by day and cruises outside by night. Capt. Belfort has offered his resignation on account of a clash with Capt. Baker. It has been accepted, and the command of the Nictheroy has been offered to other Brazilians, but they all decline unless Baker is replaced by a Brazilian. Complications have arisen over the state of affairs, the government fearing that the American lieutenants, engineers and gun experts might leave also if Baker were dis- Placed.

Miss Johnson’s Method Shown at the cxeeEERS Pure Food Exposition. The crowd at Convention Hall last even- ing filled the aisles and the lecture room, where Miss Johnson delivered a lesson on the chafing dish, with explanations and iI- lustrations of cooking Welsh rarebit, lobster a la Newburg and terrapin a la Maryland. The Welsh rarebit is Miss Johnson’s piece de resistance, and her audience of last night are willing to back her against the world if Gov. Mitchell will only let the contest come off. Miss Johnson says that ale or beer spoils a Welsh rarebit if it is mixed in it while cooking. Her advice is to cook cream in the rarebit and take your beer straight when you are eating the Welsh rarebit. Her recipes last even'ng were as follows: Lobster a la Newburg. Rub four tablespoonfuls of butter smooth, with one tablespoonful of flour. Put into the chafing dish; when heated, add two cups of lobster and the whites of three hard- boiled mashed fine, and the yolks, mashed fine, with a little cream. Stir until it is heated. Add one cup of cream.

After taking them out, puil off the outer skin and toenails. Wash them well in warm water and put them back into the boiler with one-half a tea- spoonful of salt for each terrapin. When the flesh is quite tender, so that you can pinch it off, take out the sandbag and gall bladder, which ts inside the liver, being very careful not to break the latter. Cut up the rest of the terrapin and put it into the chaf- ing dish with the juice or liquor which has been given out while being cut. Do not add any water. To every two terrapins allow one-fourth of a pound of butter, one table- spoonful of flour, one cup of cream, one cup of sherry, the yolks of six eggs, boiled hard. Heat the terrapin, stirring until it is heated. Season with salt and red pepper and serve. Welsh Rarebit. ‘To every one-half pound of cheese (Amer- ican cream cheese) take one tablespoonful of butter, two eggs, one-half a cup of cream, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the cheese into a chafing dish. When it is melted add the butter and eggs, beaten light without separating; add -the cream gradually, stir- ring all the while. Season and serve on salted wafers.

SAVEXNER, It is the Subject of a Letter From Commander Dickins. Much has been written concerning the big stone fence around the residence of Mr. L, Z. Leiter, located at the corner of 19th street, New Hampshire avenue and Dupont Circle, When it was first learned that the fence was to be of stone and would exceed in height the limit allowed by law the building inspector was appealed to and asked to interfere. As the building of fences does not properly come under the regulations relating to structures the build- ing inspector claimed he had no jurisdic- tion in the matter, except so far as it ex- ceeded the building line. Notwithstanding the earnest protests the fence was built close up to the building line. This destroy- ed the easement of the adjoining property owner, who had a party wall privilege. The owner complained bitterly, and the building inspector was about to order the fence down, when the representative of the owner came in and said they were willing to deed six inches of their property to this adjoining owner to satisfy his claim. Mat- ters went along in this way until today, when Commander Dickins of the United States ship Monongahela wrote to the Com-| ed on exchanges missioners concerning the fence as follows: | Beston and Baltimore “Last July I sent a complaint to vour|, 4 honorable board praying that the fence} erected contrary to the building regulations | of the District and without my permission between the residence of Mr. L. Z. Leiter and my lot adjoining his property on New Hampshire avenue in square 185 be ordered to be taken down, “This fence is a detriment to my prop- erty, contrary to the building regulations of the District and placed next to my line, thus preventing the building of a party | wall should I conclude to build. “I beg that you will protect me from this unlawful and unwarranted infringement of your regulations, established for the good of all, and direct the owner of the fence to comply with them.” change.
