Democrats of the Seventh ward held a caucus In St. John's hall lust night and nomlnuted Thomas Clark for com mon council. It was largely attended and the proceedings were conducted In a quiet and orderly manner. M. J. Kelly was elected chulrman und James Padden secretary. In a brief Bpeech Mr. Kelly stated the object of the con vention and urged those who purticl pated in it to be true to the candidates nominated. He then called for nominations for common council and James Gillespie named Thomas Clark. Patrick Thomas placed Patrick Murray in nomination. A vote resulted as follows: Clark, SO; Murray, -8. On motion of Mr. Murray the nomination was made by ucclamn tlon. The following district officers were nominated: First district Judge of election, An thony Cllllard; inspector, James Cush, Jr.; register, James Kcddlngton. Second district Judge of election, Pat rick V. Scanlon; inspector, Michael Du vis: register, Michael Corby.

Between the hours of 4 and 7 another caucus was held at the various polling places of the ward, which was attended only by those who- were favorable to the candidacy of M. F. Gllroy, In whose interest that particular caucus was called. No one attempted to oppose him, although a few votes were cast for Mr. Clark. It was held that the caucus was illegal and was, therefore ignored by the majority of the Demo eratlc voters of the ward. Gllroy's friends claim that he received 1G1 votes aguinst i for Clark, but watch ers about the t. ree polls give estimates of the balloting which would Indicate that less than seventy votes were cast altogether In the entire ward at these primaries. The district oflicers noml nated at the Gllroy caucus were: First district Judge of election, John Malloy, Jr.; Inspector, James Mulonpy; register Terrence Rafferty. Second district Judge of election, Pat rick V. Scanlon: Inspector, Michael Davis; register, Michael Corby. Third district Judge of election, Thos. Cerrity; inspector, Edward McAndrew; register, John Ruane. Gllroy Is unpopular with the voters of the ward and his candidacy would be unworthy of the dignity of considera tion were It not that he has enlisted several well known citizens of the Sev enth In his The voters of that ward can in all piobability be trusted to allow Gilroy to remain in obscurity He would not shine as a city father.

When Miss Cross Introduced her cooking lecture In the afternoon by say ing Unit coairse grained meats could be made quite as palatable as the line grained and succulent broiled tender loin, mamy among the uudlence of wo men expressed surprise. During the lecture, however, Miss Cross prepared several -tempting meat dishes and gave many useful hints on the Ulffenent qualities of meat and how they should be prepared. She paid that only tender meat should be broiled and that there are several proper ways of preparing meats with coarse fibres. Tuugih meat can be made tender, she says, by let ting it stand several hours after three tabliv.pixmfuls of olive oil mixed with M(e of vinegar have been poured over it. French cooks frequently re sort to this -method. Good und 'tender meat for cooking can be -selected 'by its dark purple color when Hist cut and which chamges to rtd. The eye can detect tender meat by Its line grain and firm yellowish white fat. Meat should be soft and moist to -the touch. Miss Gross ex plained and prepared the following re cipes, i The Kecipcs Given. Larded Steak Should be selected from a flunk or round steak and weigh about a pound nnd a half; trim off all the fat; make the lining by taking one cup of bread crumbs, u tablespoonful of melted butter, u tablespoonrul of chopped celery, a teuspoonful of chopped parsley, z3 tea spoonful of salt, a dash of pepper; spread this over the steak, roll up tight und tie it.

Hamburg Steak Take 1 pound of lean meat chopped line, add 1 tuhlespoonful of gruted onion, '2 teuspoonful of salt, a dash of pepper; moisten your hands In cold water and make into bulls; a pound of meat will make about 8 halls; fry in 2 ounces of butter until they are brown on each side, remove them carefully; add to the butter 1 tablespoonrul of brown flour, Vj pint of water and allow to boll; add V teuspoonful of salt, 1 tablespoonful of Woceslershlre sauce and pour over the steuks.

With regard to the Fond Exposition the Olyphant Record prints the follow ing editorial: An Olyphant Opinion. "A food exposition Is now being con ducted in the Electric City, where quali fied persons give pruetleal exhibition of cooking and deliver lectures on the best method, according to the laws of hy giene, to prepare the necessary fuel for animal boat. This Is practical education and will do much good. The art of cook lng Is one of the most Important branches of human knowledge, and is more closely connected with morals and happiness than the superficial observer imagines. "In this age of higher education and ceaseless rivalry, tho competitors learn that the human stomach Is not a waste bag Into which anything and everything can be thrown with Impunity. Chem istry teaches that there is a vast differ ence In the nourishing qualities of various articles of food. And now we are taught that discrimination as to kinds of food is not enough, for much depend on the cooking. The kitchen has killed more than the throne. The brutality, Insensibil ity and coarseness of youth In their teens, are Imps that arise from Improperly man aged kitchens, which blast both body an I soul eternully. A poor, Ignorant cook is unconsciously nourishing a prisoner. Gospel of Ulght Cooking. "How many homes are bedlums, which would be made oasis If the gospel of right cooking were Introduced? Who can pre serve his equilibrium when after each meal he feels a pain beneath his chest as If the demons were playing tug-of-wor with his pouch and tearing It asunder? Dyspepsia murders love. Deft fingers that softly glide over the harp or a thous end strings and charm It to ecstacy, have rudely broken the -enchantment by a months practice as sauce and gravy. Bread Is the staff of life, but as made by some. It Is the rod of death. Men profess great magnamlty, patience and phllo soplilcal resignation, but we have seen theso gods laid prostrate by one unpalat ahle meal. We are so made that most of us are governed by our stomachs, and the wlde-awuko woman who wishes a long and happy life, wHI attend the lectures now going on at the armory. "Theso courses should be made more common, and especially should they be brought within the reach of the poor, Among this class Ignorance Is death. If the poorer classes In our towns were taught the art or housekeeping and cook lng, she would soon llnd many saloons "to let." As with so many other branches of education, so with this, the class that needs It least Is the one taught." NOTES OF THE EXHIBIT. Saturday afternoon Is school ohlldren'i day, when all the little ones will be ad mltted for 10 cents.

Sanders und Miss Verlle Fritz are in ehurge of the exhibit of the Vlcheflzz Chemical compuny, of Philadelphia. The vlcbellzz Is said to be a cure for nervous ness und Is a very palatable drink The Scranton Stove works furnish the famous Dockush rango for Miss Cross to use In demonstrating. It gives perfect satisfaction and is very highly regarded by this eminent cooking lecturer. Their display Is one of the best at the exhibi tion. Tonight the management will have a pumpkin seeil guessing contest for a big suprlse box of articles contributed by ex- filultors. Every visitor will receive a coupon on which to wrlto their guess on the number of seeds. Tho one guessing nearest will get the box. The exposition employes have a very fine quartette that will make some good music before the close of the exposition. .Miss Cross will visit Australia this com ing spring, going under Mr. Buckley's management. She will lecture on cookery in the larger Australian cities. Double-headed tacks and a chimney rack for use by retailers are two of the novelties sold by Frank P. Bodenstelne. Of .Miss A. M. Simpson, who Is exhibit ing the Lisk cuke, tins and taking orders for cakes, Is mentioned as follows by the New England Kitchen Magazine: "She attracted much attention by her ethereul angel and sponge cakes, for she Is an ar tist In cake making. Miss Simpson was for years a teacher in a normal school, but, becoming tired of the routine nnd having a natural talent for cooking, took up this line of work which she linds both pleasant and profitable." LIC ENSE OX WACOXS. Ordinance Introduced In Common Coun cil with That Knd in View-Suggestion to Secure More Land for Nay Aug Park. Common council last night held a brief and unimportant regular meeting Just a quorum answered to roll call. An ordinance creating a license on wagons was introduced by Mr. Morris and referred to committee.

Mr. Battle spoke against the Idea nnd argued that the proposed water would be too close to the new Nay Aug park Mr. Wenzel contended thnt the water would be too dirty and Impure for bath ing purposes. The ordlnunce was re ferred to committee. A resolution Introduced by Mr. Roba than at the request of the board of health was adopted. It provides that at the suggestion of the board of health the street commissioner may connect an unsanitary property with the sewer whether the assessment has been paid or not, and that the city solicitor shall make a Hen on the property to an amount sutllcient to cover the cost of connection. The old ordinance of the Scranton Rapid Transit company, which wants the right of way between Dunmore nnd the central city and across the Spruce street bridge, was culled up for first and second reading by Mr. Wenzel. Action Was Postponed. Mr. Robnthan raised the point of order thnt the ordinance had been in definitely postponed and could only be re-consldered at the request of two members who had voted afllrmatlvely on postponement. Mr. Noon's motion to postpone notion upon the ordinance until the next meeting prevailed.

USED PIECE OF A CLOTHES LIXE Went to an Out House, Placed the Ropo Around a Haftcr and Formed a Noose Which Ho Placed About Ills Neck. Daniel O'Rolls, w.ho had reached the patriarchal age of 83, committed sui cide yesterday at Peckvllle by hanging himself with a piece of a clothes line. Despondency and tho general breaking down of his system, due -to his extreme age, are supposed to have caused his desire -to pay the debt of nature before he had been formally called. Mr. O'Rolls was one of the pioneers of this region. lie was born in the southern part of this city, known -then as Slocum Hollow, and ppent his youth amid the fields and forest that a few years later were destined to be the site of a great, thriving city. Some time ago Mr. O'Rolls' wife died and he took up his residence with one of his sons at Peckvllle, but about a month ago -transferred his place of abode to the residence of another son In a different portion of that village. Of late he -complained much about his health, which was breaking down and he suffered from fits of despondency. Wanted to Wonder Away. A .few days ago he remarked to his daughter-in-law that he wished the weather was mild and he would wander Into the woods and never come back. Yesterday afternoon -he went to an out house, having provided himself with a piece of clo'iits line. lie threw the rope over a rafter, made a noose of It, and then Jumped off the bench. Tho rope -was so long that his toes touched the ground. About 3 o'clock in the afternoon the old man was missed and his grandson made a search for him. He was horrified to find him hanging In the outhouse. Life was ex tinct, but the body was still warm. It was cut down and a message sent to Coroner Kelly acquainting him of tho occurence. He w nt to Peckvllle last evening and held nu Inquest. A Jury Kinpunncllcd. A Jury, consisting of John Manley, Patrick Carey, Thomas Orana.han, Thomas Mullaney, Michael Colloran, and W. O. White, was selected, and after viewing the remains a number of witnesses were examined. The verdict was that Daniel O'Rolls came to his death by strangulation.
