Qnerlrs will not be answered by letter.
All letter, mint be addressed to rhoto
nlaf Killlor, Erenlnx Ledger,
In April, vm, Abraham Lincoln, Presi
dent of the United State, waa murdered.
The crime was committed at Ford'a Thea
tre, "Washington, D. C, where Mr. Lin
coln and his wife had gone, with some
friends, to see the play, "Our Ametlcan
Cousin." The murderer was a half-dc-mented
actor, John Wilkes Dooth, who,
of course, was executed In due time for
the deed.
Every schoolboy has learned and knows
their historical Importance. The war be
tween tho North and South had Just
ended with tho victory of the former.
Tho cause of tho Union had provallcd,
and the re-establlshmont of peace and
the reconstruction of the devastated
South was merely a matter of time.
Of the witnesses of the dreadful deed
it Is probable that few remain; among
them Is Mr. V. J. Ferguson, tho well
known actor, who, by tho way, Is ap
pearing In World Film motion pictures.
Accounts vary as to what actually oc
curred on the night of the assassination,
or rather how It happened. Wilkes
Booth, It appears, had long plotted to
kill Lincoln, but had had no chanoo of
carrying his plan Into effect. Lincoln's
visit to tho theatro Ktivo him the easiest
of opportunities
Booth was an actor, coming from a
family which had long been prominent
on tho stage. Moreover, he was wil
known In Washington and at Ford's
Thcatra, of which he had, by courtesy,
the right of entry.
On tho fatal day It appenrs from tho
evldenco of Mr. Ferguson that ho wns
In and about tho theatre a great deal,
as ho had frequently been for several
weeks. Indeed, he had recently acted
there. In tho afternoon ho quietly pre
pared for tho dreadful deed by making
It posslblo for him to enter tho Presi
dential box unobserved.
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Ferguson states, took
his reception at tho hands of tho great
audience very quietly. The President waa
on unostentatious man who did not caro
much for publicity, and who avoided even
the appearance of being attended by pro
tective members of his sulto told off to
make his personal safety their object.
On the fatal night, contrary to what his
been stated, and even shown In motion
pictures, the President had no bodyguard.
Again, It la popularly, nay, generally,
supposed that after Booth had shot tho
President, tho assassin leaped on tho
stage and cried "Sic semper tyrannls"; ho
made his way out of tho theatre as quick
ly as possible.
It was some time before the audience
In the theatre realized that President
Lincoln had been shot. But when the
news becamo known sorrow and confusion
seized tho people.

The Judging In tlie Evenino LEDtmn
cooking; contest for echool children was
completed Into yesterday afternoon! Thou
sands of cakes, loaves of bread, Rookies
and biscuits are now rearranged under
the names of the various cooking schools
for exhibition at Horticultural Hail
Every one of the judges said this contest
was the biggest event of Us kind In which
she had assisted In selecting the prize
winners.
The winners of the flvo prlres, with tho
winners of lionorablo mention In each of
tho four classes, will bo announced to the
children on Saturday, when Mrs Anna
A. Carroll, who has been conducting the
Evbnino LRDrtErt cooking school, delivers
her closing lecture This address will '00
to tho children of tho public cooking
schools and of other cooking schools of
the city and to the contestants.
The public Is Invited to see tho exhibits
and tho prlzo-wlnnlng cakes, biscuits,
cookies and bread any time after 9 o'clock
and before 6 o'clock today and during
the same hours tomorrow.
The Evrnino LEDonn has arranged a
pleasing event for the children In connec
tion with tho closing lecturo tomorrow.
Tho United Gas Improvement Company
will Install one of Its modern candy cook
ing machines, such as Is used In nearly
all of the big candy factories of tho city.
TALK ON GOOD CANDY.
Tho Ivlns Company will fiend nn expert
candymaker lo tho hall to make frcih
candy while the children natch tho
process In connection with this feature
Mrs. Carroll will speak to tho children on
cooking and tho proper candles to buy.
Her lecture will bo very Instructive In
solrlnir and nleaslnc to the children. At
the conclusion of tho lecturo each child
will be given some of the candy which
Is made during tho lecture This lecture
will begin at 2 30 o'clock
Mrs. Carroll's lecturo today will bo the
last of her course to tho women of Phila
delphia. Every woman who has not henrd
one of her lectures should mako It a
point to be present.
In this lecture she will show her audi
ence how to prepare Philadelphia eggs,
bechemel sauce, Spanish omelet, Canada
eggs, eggs a la Marten, wheat mulllns,
lettuce henris and French dressing. This
egg menu should proo of Interest to
every one. The lecture will go for be
yond tho comments which tho prepara
tion V.III necessitate.
Mrs. Carroll lectured to another largo
audlenco yesterday nfternoon. Sho pre
pared a menu consisting of broiled lob
ster, sweetbread pattlei. chicken livers en
brochctto, pineapple salad, boiled dress
ing, popovcrs and hot blicults.
Popovers roquiro very fresh eggs.
It Is only necessary to wet the flour
for popovcrs.
A slovo Is Invaluable for straining
sauces.
Some people do not mako popovcrs bo-
cause It takes so long to beat the eggs.
I only beat my cGgs 10 minutes and after
I get tho batter beat 10 minutes more.
I run the batter through a sieve, as It
makes It smooth and helps to mix It
evenly.
It Is not necessary to heat the pan
for popovers. The oven should be hot .be
fore putting them In. It Is Immaterial
It It has even been heating 10 minutes.
This Is tho season for plnapples. Many
salads can be made from them which
ore very delicious. I want to Impress
upon you again tho value of making uso
of fruits and vegetables when they arc
In season.
It Is unnecessary to know how to mako
the fancy dishes. A good cook who makes
the plain things well novcr need worry
about tho welfare of her family.
I do not believe In high seasoning for
children. It Is very bad for them. They
Bhould naturally have an appetite with
out requiring big seasoning.
Much Intemperance of men Is caused
because their food Is not well cooked.
The best time to buy chicken livers Is
In winter, as I they keep better during
that time.
In making sauces add the liquids slowly
so that tho mixture may bo made better.
If tho sauce Is lumpy when making boiled
sauce take oft the lire and stir until

Greatly increased retail business has driven us
to seek larger quarters.
Double the floor space for displaying appli

Double the space for housing our sales and
demonstration forces is needed.
We have provided for these increased facilities
in two centrally located buildings. ,
On July 1st our Main Store will be removed
from 11th and Market Streets to our main office
building at Broad and Arch Streets.
We shall remodel the Broad and Arch Build
ing and add about one-half the first floor of the
Fidelity Building next door, as well as utilizing the
space between the two buildings.
This change, providing twice the floor space
of the building we have outgrown, will give us
the LARGEST AND BEST EQUIPPED GAS
STORE IN THE WORLD.
Elaborate new window effects and outside light
ing system will make this site the Brightest Corner
in Philadelphia by night. It will be a convenient
shopping centre by day.
The immense expanse of floor space will pro
vide facilities for displaying the hundreds of mod
ern gas lights and appliances as they have never
been shown, here or elsewhere an exhibition
which will attest to the phenomenal success we
have had in establishing gas as the one leading
illuminant and fuel.
In addition
We have secured three floors 25,000 square
feet in the new Metzger Building, Northwest
Corner 13th and Cherry Streets.
Here will be maintained a complete exhibition
of Gas Industrial Appliances, showing in actual
operation the many appliances used in manufactur

Here too will be demonstrated appliances
