Contests Havo Been Arranged.
Notes of the F.xhibit.
Yesterday was the second day of the
food exposition, which will continue in
the armory, on Adams avenue, each
afternoon and evening for two weeks.
Considering the storm of the afternoon,
and the slippery sidewalks and counter
attractions In the evening, the attend
ance during the day was fully up to
expectations.
The attractiveness of the exhibit lias
reuched Wilkes-Uurre and Pittston and
today a delegation from the retail and
wholesale grocers of the former city
will be here as the guests of Manager
Buckley; from Pittston 3U0 persons will
come during the afternoon on a special
ate excursion.
An expected amount of disorder
which wus apparent on .the opening day
was yesterday conspicuous by Its ab
sence and. the several demonstrations
und other special features were given
uninterruptedly.
Lecture by .Miss Cross.
The attention and interest displayed
by many women who- listened to the
afternoon lecture by Miss Cross on
oyster cooking bespeaks success for
that feature of the exposition. A space
has been arranged for the lectures at
the rear of the hall, where domestic
women muy sit and listen to Miss
Cross' lectures each afternoon at 3
o'clock. Her recipes and instructions
are Illustrated by actual cooking dem
onstrations, and during yesterday's
talk there were numerous questions
asked and answered.
Miss Cross first surprised her audi
ence by saying that a steel or Iron fork
should never come In contact with oys
ters, which are largely composed of
phosphorous, and whose flavor Is uffect
ed by anything but a wooden or silver
fork. She then announced a number of
recipes, illustrating each by a cooking
process. The recipes In detail are us
follows;
Pan Roast Prepare tho buttered
toast by squaring and cutting off the
crust, and place In Individual dishes;
drain the oysters well, wipe them with
a soft cloth, and place about six on each
dish of toast; dust with salt and pep
per, add email pieces of butter and
moisten with four tublespoonfuls of
cream; place dishes In a baking pan
half filled with hot water; bake for ten
minutes in a quick oven, and serve a
dish for each person.
Oysters In Other Styles.
Fricassee Oysters Place In chafing
dlh one tablespoonful of butter and
whon it melts add one tablespoonful of
flour, stir around to a smooth paste;
add one-half pint of milk, one-half tea-
spiHin of salt, dash of pepper and twen
ty-live oysters well drained; as soon as
the gills of the oysters curl add the
yelks of two eggs and two tablespoon
fuls of madeira or sherry, and serve
Immediately.
Welsh Rarebit Have ready about
four squares of tasat on a hot platter,
put Into a chafing dish a piece of butter
the size of a walnut, one tablespoonful
of tomato catsup, one-half pound of
English dairy cheese grated, a little
salt anil a dius-h of cayenne and four
ta.hlespoun.fuls of ale or beer; as Boon
as the cheese .melts pour over the but
tered toaat, and serve immediately.
Oysters a la Chamberlain Put Into a
phaling dish two ounces of butter; as
soon u.s It melts our In twenty-five oys
ters well drained and allow the gills
to just begin to turn; add one-half tea-
epoonful of salt, a dash of cayenne,
two tablespoonfuls of butter and four
tablespoon fuls of cream. When the
oysters are done put out the lamp and
add two tablespoonfuls of sherry.
Miss Cross' lecture was somewhn.t
curtailed and her demonstrations linm-
perred because of a delay In erecting
the stove. A gas fire had to be usd.
The 'arrangements will be more perfect
today when the cooking subject will be
dainties, and Miss Cross will lecture
on situffed dntes, fondant, cream fruits
and English cheese straws.
There Will lie Prize Contests.
A number of prize contests are an
nounced. which should attract atten
tion from good cooks and others. The
Weston Milling company has Inaugu

MICH MARRIED. MAN.
William U. Thomas, of Scott, Wants to
Wed a Third Wife but Encounters u
Gale.
Anxious friends ot Mrs. Laura Oak
ley, of Greenfield township, haunted
the court house yesterday for several
hours, their object being to find out
whether tho woman had been granted a
marriage license .to wed William B.
Thomas, of Scott township.. But
Thomas and Mrs. Oakley had been
there ahead of them und the watch
kept on the clerk of the court's olllce
was a. futile one.
The rtcord shows that the pair went
before Justice of the Peace T. O. Rob
inson, of Greenfield, and made an ap
plication for a license. Thomas gave
his age as CO- years, and Mrs. Oakley
as SC. He had bren married twloe be
fore; his first wife died on July 5, 18S4,
and he was granted a divorce from his
second wife on July 0, 1894. The hus
band of Mrs. Oakley departed this life
for the heippy 'hunting grounds on
July 2S, 1S94, and he left. It Is said,
quite a little property after him. Mr.
Oakley's friends, who were at the court
house yesterday, declare that she is not
of a very strong mind and was easily
susceptible to the wiles of Thomas.
Thomas went back to Greenfield with
his mind made up to marry Mrs. Oak
ley as soon as .he arrived and could get
some authorized person to perform the
ceremony.

MORTGAGE JVAS BURNED
Interesting Ceremony at the Penn
Avenue Baptist Church.
THE ADDRESS OP THE PASTOR
Congratulated the Members of tho Con
gregation on Extinction of the Debt on
tho Church Building - Spccehcs
Made by Officers of the Church.
Penn Avenue Baptist church was
crowded last evening to witness the
burning ot the mortgage, and the mem
bers that congregated availed them
selves of the opportunity of manifest
ing .their Joy at the realization of the
much-anticipated event.
Rev. Warren G. Partridge, pastor,
opened the services by conducting a
praise service, after which he made an
Inspiring address, In which he con
gratulated the members upon the aus
picious occasion. The church was or
ganized thirty-five years ago at the
residence of Nathaniel Hallstead with
a membership of twenty-live; now tne
church mustered over 850 members. He
also congratulated the charter mem
bers, four of whom were now living,
Mr. and Mrs. Nathaniel Hallstead, Mls
S. C. Krlgbaum and Mrs C. Q. Carmen
He dwelt upon tho hardships under
which the early members had worked
and their eventual success.
The Ladles' society were also com
pllmented upon their grand work In
having, since two years ago, reduced
the debt of $5,000 to $3,000. He also
heartily congratulated the people of the
church from those who gave the small
est offerings to those who gave the
large contribution In view of the suc
cess which had crowned their efforts
When ihe commenced the agitation In
October last to wliie oft the debt he
was much discouraged at first, owing
to the serious depression. In trade, but
after working for three or four weeks
lie was assured of success, and the re
sult was shown that not only was $3,000
raised, but $300 above that amount was
pledged.
Fulfilled a Solemn Pledge.
lie desired particularly to impress
upon them that they were that even
ing fulfilling a solemn pledge made to
Deacon Nathaniel Hallstead, who, in
presenting them with the magnificent
parsonage on Mlflln avenue, made a
condition that the mortgage on the
enuivh should be cleared, and he con
gratulated Mr. Hallstead on the con
summation of his hopes.
P. B. Finley, -who followed, heartily
congratulated the pastor, ofllcers and
members of the church and congrega
tion on the happy consummation of
whut they had so long : hoped and
prayed for. On behalf of the trustees,
he desired to tender their thanks to all
who had so nobly contributed to the
fund for the extinction of the debt.
Ex-Treasurer L. M. Horton read an
Interesting statement of the finances of
the church commencing at December,
1864, when three lots were purchased
from the Lackawanna Iron and Coal
company for $2,398. This liability was
reduced to $800 1n July 1SS2, when two
years afterward, owing to the enlarge
ment of the church edifice, a mortgage
ior s,uou was negotiated. In 1S8B a
mortgage was executed with the Provi
dent Life and Trust company for $10,000
and the former mortgage with the Mer
chants' and Mechanics' bank satisfied.
In October, 1SS9, $5,000 was paid on ac
count of this mortgage, being part of
proceeds of sale of the vacant lot ad
joining the church. The following were
the remainder of the payments: May,
1S93, Ladles' Social union, $1,000; May,
1894. Ladles' Social union, $1,000; Octo
ber, 1894, anniversary pledges, $1,000
December, 1S94, anniversary pledges,
$1,000, and Jan. 3, 1S95, balance from
pledges, $1,030.15, being In full discharge
of principal and Interest. The total In
terest paid since 18C6 to date was $6,500.
Mr. Kcllar's Remarks.
Luther Keller, president of the board
of trustees, extended the congratula
tions of his colleagues and himself to the
members of the church upon the culml
nation of their sacrifices and desired to
impress upon them that although they
had now discharged the debt upon their
