CHARLES SCRIBNER’S SONS, NEW YORK. Men’s Senses Keener Than Women’s. From the Pall Mall Budget. 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 di- | 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 four men and thirty-eight women, chosen from the yarious ranks of Ife, 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- lemon with lemon, ete. To put results shortly, the women were not in it. None of them could trace prussic acid beyond the dilution of 29,000 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 es: of lemon; all the men deteceed it at 250,000. This proportion rep- resents their average superiority all around. HARD UPON THE POO 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 elty have very little encouragement for the near future at any rate, and should the weather bureau prove the accuracy of their fore: 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 clothing to protect them from the wintry winds. Requests were also made for food and fuel as well as for var- ious 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 almost two to one. What is Being Done. Room 20, building. Experiences of Canvassers. 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 their calls than those from whom one might naturally expect to receive the largest contributions. In but few cases have reports been made that the 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 tn 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 iarge class in the community having ready money at stated intervals, would be in the aggregate the largest contributors to the relief fund. Washington Loan and Trust —~ NOT BE CONFIRMED. COULD So Mr. Taylor and Mr. Astwood Are Not to Be Reappointed.

A Sad Care. A young woman, the mother of three children, visited the Police Court police headquarters this afternoon and lated a. sad story of cruel treatment at the hands of men who threw her things into the street Jast 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 compketely surprised. One of the neighbors took her in and is caring for her temporarily. What makes the case particularly sad is 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 bundle 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 reeeived 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 ealled at tne houses of clerks. The matte: 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. buildings. This decision made it necessary for the executive committee to coasider some other ans of reaching the thousands of employes of the government who fo-m so large a part of the population ot Washington. White the hy 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 alreaay provided by the commitiee. The committee iinally decided as the best means of securing the contributions of all the gove-nment enip! ling to give to issue an appeal, and state in it how contributicns mignt 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 fo:mal 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 fortunate in the enjoyment of undiminished incomes at a time w are out of employment. these fortunate ones g: centage of his monthly salary, the tund 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 thece 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 hen many If every one of ave but a small per-| savings become exhausted. In th past no appeal for a deserving ever made in vain to the em- ployes of the government departments, and it is believed they will now respond gen- erously to the ery of the destitute for food, of the intirm 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 receiv: 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 citi- zens’ committee on canvass either directly or through a member of the district com- mittee in the district where the clerk re- sides. To those to whom either of these modes of transmission may be inconvenient, it is s sted that contributions will be re- ceived and accounted for at the offices of the daily ne papers, Pledges of subscriptions to be payable after the Ist of the coming month may be ferwarded, with the addresses of the sub- scribers, and members of the committee will call at the addresses given to collect the amounts pledged at the time named. It is earnestiy hoped that every employe of the government will avail himself of one of these methods of sending his contribu- tion to the committee. GEORGE TRUESDELL, Chairman Citizens’ Committee on Canvass. 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- nating 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 a 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.” CROWDS AT THE W. L. I. ARMORY. The Pure Food Exposition and Mrs. Rorer'n 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 number 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 meats 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 dishes. The orphans from St. Vincent's Asylum were present this afternoon and had a thoroughly enjoyable time. Tonight will be “sample” night and the xhibitors will distribute samples with a vish hand. | Prof. Pohndorff will lecture tonight at 20 on “White wines and generous wines.” Tomorrow night Mrs. Rorer, by request, will give a special lecture on “plain pas- try.” as follows: French Paste.

Bring it to the board, roil and fold twice ou again, and stand aside a second time. Do this four times, until the paste has had four rests ai eight rolls. 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 Henlth Officer Looks Upon Undrawn Poultry.

Many thousands of students, among whom Prince Bi 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 \eave Friedrichsruhe at such a time as will allow it to arrive here tomorrow afternoon.
