Splendid Episcopal institution Just Dedicated at Washington. Washington.—The Lane-Johnston Memorial building of the Washington Cathedral Choir School, just complet- ed on the Protestant Episcopal Cathe- dral grounds on Wisconsin avenue, St. Albans, D. C., marks a new depar- ture in educational work. The late Mrs. Harriet Lane-Johnston, niece of President Buchanan, bequeathed to the cathedral foundation $300,000 for the building and endowment of a choir school for boys, in which the pu- pils should receive a thorough train- ing in church music, as well as in the studies of a preparatory school for college. The completed memorial building is regarded as a model school for boys, and is believed to be the best arranged and best equipped structure of its kind in the United States.

The building is in the form of a letter E, so familiar in the structures of the Tudor period of English architecture. In the small or middle arm of the E is a self-contained eight-room house for the headmaster and his family, with its separate entrance and stair- cases, but opening on each floor into the main school building, thus com bining the privacy of a home with im- mediate access at all times to the stu- dents and their work The west arm of the Econtains the educational features of the school, the study hall, the class rooms and the laboratori: and in this wing is the entrance for day pupils. In the east arm are the dining room, the kitchen and housekeeping departments and a steam laundry provided with drying facilities, electric irons and a full equipment of the latest labor-saving devices. ‘The kitchen arrangements y complete, and the entire buiding is lighted by electricity. On the second floor are the dormi- tories for the boarding pupils with individual cubicles, or sleeping rooms, arranged after the manner of those at Groton schoc and each dormitory is provided with shower baths in addi- tion to the usual bathrooms.

One of the most interesting types on the American track is the profes- | Possible in a short time. sional money lender. Money lending is absolutely forbidden, and so the en- tire transaction must be conducted sub rosa, but if a person who is “on” goes broke, and he has some article of jewelry of value with him, it is easy for him to realize money on it. The lender is an_ irreproachably dressed person who sits on the grand- stand with the rest of the crowd, and is known in his true colors only to the habitues of the track. A man who wants some capital makes an unob- trusive sign to him, and twirls a ring he may be wearing at the time. Short- ly afterward both will proceed to a restaurant, where, for the benefit of onlookers, they will greet each other as ordinary acquaintances. The ex- change is then made over the drink they order; the loan broker has the ring and the bettor his capital. If the latter cashes in on the next race, he will return the money and the agreed upon premium and will receive back his ring —The Bohemian. Cardinal Manning’s Tomb. The long-deferred monument to the memory of the late Cardinal Manning is at last to be erected—a movement being on foot to place an effigy in bronze over the cardinal’s resting place in the crypt of the Westminster cathedral. The form of the memorial is to be a recumbent figure of the prel- ate clad ip the full vestments of an archbishop. A panel of red marble in front of the tomb will bear a suitable inscription, recording the rank and dignity of the late Cardinal. The sar- cophagus will be carved with the ar- morial bearings of his eminence, and also the arms of the See of Westmin- ster. The cost of the memorial is es- timated at from $3,000 to $3,500, of which about one-third is already in hand.— Westminster Gazette.

Set in a warm VARIETY OF DISHES MANY RECIPES AND ALL OF THEM GOOD ONES. Suggestions for Savory Dishes That Will Tempt the Jaded Appetites of the Entire Family. Cauliflower and Potato Souffle— Three ounces of mashed potatoes, three ounces of the white part of cauliflower, half ounce of butter, three eggs, half teaspoonful salt, scant half teaspoonful of pepper; beat the eggs well, whites and yolks separately; then add the potatoes, the cauliflower, chopped fine, and the seasonings; stir all well together, then fill small greas- ed shells with the mixture and bake in a moderate oven for half an hour. A small ball of butter placed on the top will help to brown them, and any flavoring of chopped onion, parsley or herbs are an imprevement. * * . A Salad of Coid Vegetables—This is an economical salad, as it can be made from whatever cold vege tables have been left from yester- day’s dinner, such as peas, string beans, cauliflower, potatoes or beets. Cut them into smali pieces, then place on the ice; when ready to serve line a salad dish with crisp lettuce leaves; put the cold vegetables in these and pour over a French dressing. . * * Scotch Apple Tart—Peel and core a half dozen tart apples and place in a crock in a slow oven, adding neither water nor sugar. When tender mix in Sultana raisins, allowing a quarter of a pound to each pound of apples. Turn into a deep baking dish, sprinkle with sugar and grated lemon; cover with a top crust, pricking well to allow for the escape of steam, and bake in a quick oven. Serve with milk. * * * English Apple Tart—Peel and core tart apples, put into a large saucepan, cover with boiling water; stew gently until the apples are tender, but un- broken. Line the edges of a @eep pie tin with crust, then fill the center of the dish with apples, dropping into the center of each a spoonful of or- ange marmalade. Cover the top of the dish with strips of pastry arranged lattice fashion and bake quickly until brown. Serve hot. * * * Ham and Egg Loaf—Chop remains of cold boiled ham, add crushed crack- ! ers and from three to six eggs, well beaten, according to the amount of your meat. Bake in small tin, and when cold it can be sliced. * * . Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Wafers—A reeipe for pumpkin wafers has been handed down in one household for generations. This is the way they are made: After preparing the pumpkin in the usual way by paring it and removing the seeds it is steamed un- til it becomes very dark, rich and thick looking, then sugar is added to taste, and it is cooked a second time in a moderately heated oven. When dry and thick it is of the right con- sistency to be rolled out on a floured board, and shaped with the tin cut- ter. The wafers are placed on plates and when thoroughly dry are wrapped in oiled paper. They will keep indefi- nitely, and besides being delicious for afternoon tea, a few of them dissolved in milk and the necessary ingredients added make a home-made pumpkin pie Bacon and Apples—Slice bacon thin and fry it crisp. Transfer to a platter and keep it hot while you fry thick slices of unpeeled sweet apples in the bacon fat. When these are tender, drain and put in the center of a hot platter. Lay the fried bacon about the edge of the dish, sprinkle sugar over the apples and serve. . * * Raisin Bread—Scald a pint of milk and beat into it a teaspoonful of melt- ed butter and one of salt. When the mixture is lukewarm add half a yeast cake dissolved in a half cupful of hot water and beat in enough flour to room to rise for eight hours. Beat hard, add a cupful of flour and work in a cupful of halved and seeded rais- ins, plentifully dredged with flour. Set to rise until light, then bake. . . . Cream Sandwiches — Make nice short pastry and roll it rather thin, and cut three inches long and one and one-half inches wide, and bake in a hot oven. When done a light brown, brush over with the yolk of an egg; cut lenghtwise, and spread with raspberry jam, to form a sandwich. Put on whipped cream plentifully, and on the cream a stiff froth. made of a teaspoonful of powdered sugar and the white of an egg. Cabbage and Tomato Pickle—Four quarts of chopped red cabbage, two quarts of chopped green tomatoes, two green peppers, chopped, one quart of good cider vinegar, four cupfuls of sugar, one heaping teaspoonful each of cinnamon, allspice, cloves, mustard, and black pepper. Mix and cook thor- oughly. . . . Orange Jumbles—One pound of but- ter, one pound of sugar, two pounds of flour, three eggs, juice of two or- anges, three teaspoonfuls of baking ed by many the most beautiful scenic cal interest, is said to be slowly dis- integrating, due to the action of the ger of extinction recalls to mind the j county, and the surroundings appear | points , the jrock its name. |the great Indian village of the Illini powder, pinch of salt.

STARVED ROCK DOOMED, Famous Pile on the Illinois River Slowly Disintegrating. Utica, Ill.—Starved Rock, consider- resort in Illinois, and rich in histort- Illinois river, which flows at its base and which is gradually wearing the sandstone that forms the composi- tion of the famous pile. The report that this rock is in dan- pathetic story which gave it an en- during place in linois history and makes it an object of intense interest to the thousands of tourists from all over the United States who annually visit it. Starved Rock is located in La Salle FAMOUS STARVED ROCK. Its Destruction Said to Be Only a Question of Time. like a section of Colorado scenery, dropped by some freak of nature in the prairie lands of Mlinois. It is a beautiful variance from the monoton- ous level plains that at most other mark the Illinois soil. Some glacial freak ages ago is supposed to have brought about the strange forma- tion, creating a valley 100 feet lower than the level of Lake Michigan and forming palisades along the Illinois river that have great scenic attrac- tiveness. The rock rises abruptly from the water to a height of 157 feet, and from all sides presents a bold and rugged appearance. About the year 1770 a series of melancholy incidents occurred in the territory of the Illini tribe of Indians, memories of which gave to the Its beauty is unchang- ed from that which marked it when it was first seen by white men, Mar- quette and Joliet, the famous French explorers, in 1673. Here is found in miniature, the wonder work of water and stone. There are hidden, rocky- walled inlets decorated with ferns and lichens, with some lone cedar or pine, standing lofty on an_ inaccessible, rocky ledge. Marquette and Joliet landed oppo- site the rock on the plain upon which was situated. In 1681, La Salle, who {| was given the right to trade with the Indians by Louis XIV., erected a fort upon the rock, calling it Fort St. Louis. This fort was later destroyed. The final tragedy, which gave the rock its name was caused by the mur- der of Pontiac, the great Pottawato- mie chief, by one of the Illini. hs te lark ) TELLS THE WHCLE STORY. Civil Service Applicant Willing te Give Complete Information. The civil service commission has received something unique in the way of a communication from Buckley Levin, an applicant for the position of janitor of a post office building in an Ohio town. It seems the blank furnished him to fill out was not explicit enough in its answers for the commission, which | sent it back for more information con- { cerning the antecedents of the appli- cant. Here is Levin's reply: “I was born in Meigsville, Morgan county, Ohio, the eighteenth day ot April (have forgotten the hour), 1855; am 53 years six months and 16 days old. My father was born on the thirty- | first day of December, 1817, in Guern- sey county, Ohio. He is 82 years ten months and 14 days old. My grandfa- ther was born at South Acworth, Mass., A.

The Remarkable Ability Displayed by Claro Zumel. New York.—!It is a far cry from the primitive little school-house of Span- ish times, in a northern province of the Philippines, to an up-to-date busi- ness college with hundreds of stu- dents in New York city—from a tiny Ilocano shaver in a single garment, assiduously studying the “three Rs” in his native tongue, to a well-educat- ed, well-dressed young man of 21, who is graduated in English, stenography and typewriting—one of six out of a class of 35—after a course of only six months, as an “intelligent and compe-; tent amanuensis.” Yet this is the record of Claro: Zumel, who has lived less than one year in the United States.

Early in the life of the soon-to-be bride, she thrived and prospered in the mixed atmosphere of convent se- clusion and the brilliant gayeties of the Austrian court. Before she had reached her 18th year, she had to flee from her native land and go to Rus- sia because of the emperor's displeas- due. to the fact that two of his noblemen had fought a duel over the right to seek her hand in marriage. Hardly had she entered Russia, however, when her moth who left Austria with her, fell in love with the Grand Duke Boris This escapade of the elder Brodgynski lift the young- er woman practically alone, but her charm of manner and excellence of taste and judgment concerning®mat- ters of court, soon won her a way into the graces of the elite of the Czar’s land Soon a favorite with the czar, Miss Brodgynski was one of the honored guests at the palace. She advanced with the leaders of that mighty court; she listened to words of admiration | from the lips of Nicholas; she was petted and flattered above all the others until she aroused the envy and jealousy of the noblewomen. After a somewhat brief career as a leader among the social leaders at St. Petersburg, the attention of the czar. shifted to some other favorite and Russia was no longer that home of which she was pleased. She was accused of plotting against the life of the emperor and he listened to her and to escape deportation to Siberia she fled to London.

The lucky man in the case is Lionel Harrison, or Harry Lyon, as he is better known to the people of Seattle, where he worked as clerk in a leading hotel, and sang when opportunity of- fered. But no one dreamed that Har- rison spent his winters in Germany studying the language and grand opera at Bayreuth, while during the summers prior to this he traveled with light opera companies and saved every penny he could to help defray the expenses incident to his life work on the stage i He had accepted an engagement this summer with a company at a fair salary, as usual. But the money was not for them evidently, and the | “show closed.” Lyon settled in Seat- tle with two cents. He began to look for a job and landed behind a hotel desk, while he hired a room at anoth- er and cheaper one and kept his voice flexible by da work at the parlor piano. One day he started out to look at Seattle on the big auto. He sat on the back seat. Shortly after a bewitching type of brunette was given a place at his side. She looked curiously at him and finally asked if he did not re member her. Lyon leaned forward and said: | “Iam sure that I do remember you! You sang with me in Convent Garden, London. in ‘The Bohemian Gir!,’ did you not?” That ‘settled it. The most vocifer- ous notes from the megaphone failed to arouse them. The spieler was dis- ‘ gusted and pronounced them “deaf, dumb and blind!” They saw little of Seattle, but much of each other, and when Lyon left the hotel recently for the east, Marie had preceded him by a week.

Filipiao legislature, which is to be convened in October by Secretary Taft, will soon become a real power in the government of the islands. Born in San Miguel de Samat, a lit- tle barrio outside of Laoag, the capital of Ilocos Norte, the youngster, whose father was a tax collector, early con- ceived the idea of getting an educa- tion. To carry out his plans, he helped his mother to raise rice, tobacco and tree cotton mornings and evenings, and spent all his days in the public school. When he was 14 he went to Manila, where he worked in one of the convents of the Spanish friars for a year at the munificent wage of 25 centavos (12% cents) per month. The following r he entered another ehurch school, where he not only worked hard the greater part of the time for the padres, but began Latin and continued his other studies with the avowed purpose of becoming a priest. Three years later, on the breaking out of the Filipinu revolution, he left the college, since he “no longer wished to have nothing to do with the Span- jiards,” and, destitute of money and with no friends who were able to help him, he went to work as a muchacho, But he had not lost his ambition— y changed its object, having t he wanted a commer- cial education, and the diploma re- ceived by him last week, thousands of miles away from his old home, is the fruition of that purpose.
