District Officers Nutned.
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.
Third district Judge of election, Brian
Dolan; Inspector, Anthony Loftus; regis
ter, Michael Noon.
Mr. Clark, the nominee for common
council, has resided In the ward since
boyhood and Is at present engaged in
the plumbing business there.
Another Caucus Held.
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.

AT THE FOOD EXPOSITION
Thrco Impartial and Competent Judges
Have Been Selected-Miss Cross Gives
Some Points on Meat Cooking.
Notes of the Exhibit.
Wet and Inclement weather yester
day, failed to keep a large number of
women and some men from the Food
Exposition in the armory. New faces
are seen every day, but there are many
who have made the second and third
visit and not grown tired of the expen
sive display.
Interest in the exhibit has been In
creased by the prizes offered by the
Press club, Weston Mill company, the
Baker Chocolate company and the
management. The three former will
give valuable money prizes for bread
or cakes, while the management offers
a box of samples valued at $15 to the
best guess on the number of seeds In a

afternoon and evening.
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

lardoons, place In a baking pan with half

been trimmed; place in u hot oven and
bake for thirty minutes, busting every
ten minutes.

meat chopped line, add 1 tuhlespoonful of
gruted onion, '2 teuspoonful of salt, a

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."

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."

HAD LIVED LONG ENOUGH
Daniel O'Kolls, of l'eckvllle. 83 Years
of Aye, Hangs Himself.
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.
TOMORROW'S MEETING
Called to Protest Against the Atrocities
In Armenia.
A circular, of which the following Is
a copy, has been -Issued by the special
committee having charge of tomorrow
evonlng's meeting to protest against
the Armenian atrocities:
To the Citizens of Scranton:
In accordance with the suggestion mnde
a few days ago by our worthy mayor,
a public meeting will bo held In the Elm
Park church on Katurduy evening, Jan.
12, at 8 o'clock, In order to call the atten
tion of our citizens to the unparalled

Ills honor, the mayor, will preside. E.
B. Sturges, William Council, W. W. Wes
ton. Judge Alfred Hand and others will
speak. Jumes McLeod, Secretary.

by tho Turks.
