SCIinilK f HER,
THE WAY TO COOK MEATS
That Was the Subject of Mrs. Korcr's
Second Lecture.
RECIPES SHE RECOMMENDED
She Prefaced Iter Lectors by Explaining
How to Retain the Nourishment and
Flavor of Meata-Coafing-Dish
Lecture Friday.
Tho Becond of Mrs. Rorcr's series of
cooking lectures wub Riven yesterday
afternoon before an audience larser,
even, thun was present on Monday.
Meat cookery was the subject, which
included a very iuterestiiur and Instruc
tive talk on the distinctive properties
of this kind of food and several re
cipes with practical illustrations.
It has been decided to Klve a chnf-InK-disii
lecture Friday evening, and a
candy lecture Saturday niornlhtf. It Is
not unreasonable to suppose thut the
former will be attended by tunny of the
present-day bachelors mid the latter by
a Kctici-ous spriiikliiiir of young; ladles;
ut ull events such elements are expected
to be present. The admission fee to
each of these extra lectures will be no
cents. Admission cannot be secured on
season tickets.
As is her custom each day, Mrs.
Rorer Introduced yesterday's subject
by u hair-hour talk. In which she ex
plained that the main object In c-uuklnir
meats Is to retain the nourishment and
llavor, in which as much depends upon
the cooking- as upon the MUullly of the
meat. Hcullntr water and a strong heat
Will retain the Juices, she said, while
the opposite will huppen by the use
of cold water and it moderate heal.
.She snid that meat properly cut should
not be washed, as the process robs it
of much of its nutriment, although the
outer edges which have been handled
by the butcher mav be wined with a
damp cloth. Beef should be (if a lino
grain, a clear, red color and with a yel-lowlsh-whlte
and linn fat. The follow
ing recipes were given:
FOR PRKPARlXlS BEKF.
Pionst lleef The nest pieces for roast
ing are the ribs, sirloin ami pin bone.
Where a tin kitchen is used, run the spit
through the meal, dredge it with pepper
nnd place it ut Mist vely near a hot lire.
When brown on Ihe surface draw a little
from the lire; put a half-pint of water and
a teaspooiiful of salt In the bottom of the
kitchen and turn the meat almost con
stantly, lasting every ten minutes, until
done, lioust fifteen minutes for everv
pound If you like your meat rare; If well
dune, twenty minutes. Do not adit any
more waif r after the tlrst evaporates. For
the gravy, allow two tahlespoonftils of the
rli-lpplng to remain In the bottom of the
kiti'hi-n. add a half lalilespoonful of Hour,
mix until smooth, add a half pint nf boil
ing water or slock, stir continually until

Place the joint in the boltom of a baking
pan, dredge It lightly with pepper, add
one teaspoon fill of kalt to one cupful nf
water and pour H In the pan. Place It in
very hot oven and baste every ten min
utes to keep it from burning. Turn two
or three times and bake lifteeii minutes
for every pound, Serve with gravy made
as for roast beef.
Fillet of Heef with Mushroom Sauce
Remove with a sllarp knife all the mus.
cular covering on one side of the llllet.
Cut larding pork (very fat salt pork) Into
tiny strips and dace in ice-waler to hard
en. Place one strip into the slot end of a
larding needle as lar as it will go, thrust
the needle Into the meat, taking a slilch
across the top about one Inch deep, push
the needle through, place the linger lightly
on the snip of pork and draw the needle
out, leaving Ihe pork exposed about a
ipmrter of an inch at Hie, end of the
stitch. Continue until you have a row
of these strips down the center of the lil
let about ull inch apart. In the boltom of
the baking pan put one small onion plkvd,
0110 email carrot sliced, a stalk of celery
cat into small pieces, four cloves and
two buy leuves; on lop of these place
the llllet In the pun, dredge with pepper
ami spread thickly with butter; udd a lea
spoonful of salt to a quurter of a cup of
boiling water and pour into the bottom of
the pan. Rake ill a quirk oven for thirty
minutes, busting four or live, times. The
shape Is such il takes thirty minutes to
bake a llllet, no matter what Its weight.
When dune, place on a hot dish. Adil to
the pan one tablespoouful of butler, and
brown, then add two tubles)oonfuls of
flour; mix well; add one pint of stock or
boiling water and stir continually until it
bolls: strain Into a frylng-onn and add
one put of fresh stewed or canned mush
rooms. Cook live minutes and take from
the lire; add a teasHionful of Worcester,
shire sauce, one tallespoonful of sherry,
salt and pepper; pour It around lilo llllet
and serve.
Stew of lieef with Dumplings t'se two
pounds of leun beef from the under side
of the round or a shoulder piece. Cut Into
pieces about an Inch square, and dredge
thickly with Hour. Put two tablespoon
fids of dripping or butler in a frying-pan
and place on a good lire; as food us it Is
very hot, put In the meat nnd shake or
stir until all is nicely browned. Skim it
out and put in a saucepan. Add one ta
blespoouful of flour to the dripping or but
ter i-emuinlng In the frying-pan mix, then
add one quart of boiling water; stir over
the tire until It bolls, then strain it over
the meat; adil one small onion and a sprig
of paisley. Cover tho saucepan and let
it simmer for two hours. When the meat

und three dashes of black pepper. Xow
silt one pint of flour, add to It a henplug
teuspuonfcl of baking powder and sift

not work it much. lip small spoonfuls of
the dough over the meat, cover quickly
und let simmer ten minutes. Iio not un
cover the saucepan while the dumplings
nre cooking, or they will fall Immediate,
ly. After you mid the dumplings the Mew
will scorch easily, therefore move the ket
tle to a moderate part of the fire. Serve
us soon us the dumplings are done.
DOKS NOT FAVOR GLASS JAKS.
It happened that the grocer had sent
with Jlrt. Rorer's order a glass Jar of
mushrooms. When she picked it up to
use it she remarked that mushrooms in
glass tire not lit for use, us Ihe con
tents of the jar absorb the lead in the
metal covering. Chemical analysis has
shown, she said, that one glass Jar of
mushrooms contains as much metal
crystals as ten tin cans of the sumo ar
ticle. The meats cooked yesterday will be
made over Into supper disln-s this af
ternoon. Although not previously an
nounced, Mrs. Rorer will include in her
lecture 11 number of the recently popu
lar salads, in which nuts seem to be
very fashionable.
THEY DO NOT LIKE WOOD.
Students Kcfnse to Iio Taught at Ills
Establishment.
The following Wllkes-Uarre dispatch
appeared in yesterduy'B Philadelphia
Press:
A peculiar condition of affairs which has
existed here for the pas few days among
parties Interested In two local commer
cial colleges culminated Aonlght In a vic
tory for the students.
There ere two colleges In town known
as Wood's and the Wllkea-Barre college.
The other day Professor Frederick K.
Wood purchased the Wllkes-Jlarre col
lege from Professor Williams, the owner.
Xo sooner wax the deal culminated than
the if) pupils of the Wllkes-Barre college
rebelled. The tuition to the end of ihe
term of June was paid and they claimed
that they had no faith In Professor
Wood: they did not think they could get
their money's worth and they refused to
attend Wood's college.
Williams wanted io do the right thing
by the pupils nnd as they positively re
fused to go to Wood's he decided to open
a new- school. This, of course, was not
what Wood wanted, as half the ft.i00 he
paid for the Wllkes-Rarra college was
for the good will and patronage of the
pupils. When Williams announced that
he would open another school Wood
threatened to prevent him and compel
the students to go to his college.
At a mass meeting of the students to
night they received the assurances of
the attorney they had engaged that W,l
liams could legally teach them until the
end of the pald-for term, and by a
unanimous vote they derided to stand by
Williams. Williams will now purchase
new furniture and reopen school in about
ten days.
PECULIAR POISOXS.
GENERATED IN THE HUMAN BODY
The Result of Imperfect Digestion of
Food.
Every living thing, plant or animal,
contains within itself the germa of cer
tain decay and death.
In the human body these germs of
disease and death (called by scientists
Ptomaines), are uauully the results of
imperfect digestion of food; the result
of indigestion or dyspepsia.
The stomach, from abuse, weakness,
does not promptly and thoroughly di
gest the food. The result is a heavy,
sodden mass which ferments (the first
process of decay) poisoning the blood,
making It thin, weak, and lacking in
red corpuscles: poisoning the . brain
causing- headaches und pains lit the
eyes.
liad digestion Irritates the heart,
causing palpitation and finally bring
ing on disease of this very Important
organ.
Poor digestion poisons the kidneys,
causing Plight's disease and dinbetes.
And this is so because every organ,
every nerve depends upon the stomach
alone for nourishment and renewal,
and weak digestion shows Itself not
only in loss of appetite and llesh, but
In weak nerves nnd muddy complexion.
The great Kngllsh scientist, Huxley,
Said the best start in life is a sound
stomach. Weak stomachs fall to digest
food properly, because they luck the
proper quantity of digestive acids (lue
tic und hydrochloric) and peptogenic
products; the most sensible remedy In
all cases of Indigestion, is to take after
each meal, one or two of Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets, because they supply In
a pleaaant, harmless form ull the ele
ments that weuk stomachs luck.
The regular use of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will cure every form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
They increase flesh, insure pure blood,
strong nerves, a bright eye and clear
complexion, because ull these result
only from wholesome food well digest
ed. Nearly nil druggists lell Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets at BO cents full slued

Grand Council of Pennsylvania Jurisdic
tion of the Young .Men's Institute Will
Meet Here oil May It).
The meeting of the supreme council
of the Young Men's Institute at Den
ver, Col., is ut an end. A great deal
of important business was transacted
by the council, which will have an In
fluence In the future of the order.
Among the radical changes made In
Its government was the division o( the
Pacilic jurisdiction into the Paclfio and
Northwest jurisdictions and me Atlan
tic Jurisdiction into the Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Kentucky, Illinois and Indiana
Jurisdictions. The Pennsylvania will

New Jersey, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
all of the New Kngland states, and the
District of Columbia. The grand coun
cil of this Jurisdiction will meet in
Scranton on May 19 next for organiza
tion. An effort was made by the delegates
from the Pacilic Jurisdiction to abolish
the insurance feature connected with
the organization, but this was not
agreed to. A compromise was finally
arrived at by which the insurance busi
ness will be carried on by u separate
organization to be known us the Young
Men's Institute Insurance association.
A lecture bureau wus established and
one day each year wus set apart to be

of laughable episodes growing out of a
rich New Yorker who attempts to ex
cite the suspicions of his too placid
wife, who afterword developes an
alarming capacity for jealousy. It is
full of touch and good humor from be

ALBERT HOCE'S MACHINES
Tbey Have Keen Designed to Set and
Distribute Type.
THEIR . SPECIAL QUALITIES
Inventor Says They Are Different from
Those Now in lee end Will He vol u
tloaixe the Work of Setting
Type la Small Offices.
In the Scranton office of Special Pen
sion F.xamlner R E. Hoge In the Fed
eral building there rest two pieces of
complicated looking contrivances which
have attracted the attention of recent
visitors to the otlice. The two objects
are iniMlels of typesetting and type dis
tributing machines on which patents
have recently been secured by the ex
aminer's brother, Albert S. Hoge. The
models are not working models, but If
what Is claimed for them by the invent
or Is half true, the Invention bids fair
to Icruate a new era in the method ot
publishing newspapers in small towns.
The models are chiefly of wood, there
being several hundred pieces of this
material In each machine, and in addi
tion there ur numerous brass wheels,
cogs and rods. The Inventor Hoge wus
In the otlice whwt a Tribune reporter
called there yesterday. He cluims thut
when the working models are complet
ed, the machine that sets the type will
not be more than twice us large as a
Remington typewriter and that the dis
tributing muchlne will be not more than
twice as large as its mate. Knoh ap
paratus is operated on the same prin
ciple as a typewriter and can be manu
factured to sell at about J)0 for the set.
Similar typesetting machines, which,
however, should not be confused with
the expensive linotypes which are run
by power, cost from $1,200 each und are
lurge and very heavy.
Figures, measurements and other
data are being prepared and will soon
be furnished by a Scranton draughts
man who will work out the drawings
from which the working models are to
be built. The patents nre owned jointly
by the Inventor and his brother. Pen
sion Examiner Hoge. It is their inten
tion to organize a company ut once for
the manufacture ot the munchines.
It is a curious fact that for several
months after tho inventor began work
ing on his models he did not know thut
typesetting or linotype machines were
in use. lie began the work fourteen
months ago. at which time he had lln
Ished his term as prothonotary ot a Vir
ginia county. He claims, however, thnt
the field for which his machines are ad
apted Is not occupied by any similar
invention.
THOSE FIVE COTTON MILLS.
Outlook Is Bright for Their Location In
This City.
The possibility of locating In this city
five Massachusetts cotton mills, which
was mentioned in The Tribune several
weeks ago. is not Improbable. This Is
Indicated In a letter recently received
by Secretary Atherton, of the board of
trade, from the vice president of one
of the companies. It was this gentle
mun who several weeks ugo wrote thut
the mills must be abandoned on ac
count of the use to which the waterway
on which they are located was to be put
In Increasing the water supply of the
city of Koston. He requested facts and
figures relative to Scrauton's manu
facturing advantages.
The letter received from the manu
facturer yesterday says that he will bo
here on or about April 1. This is con
sidered a Very favorable sign, as the
information forwarded to him In re
sponse to his tlrst letter is believed to
have created a favorable impression.
At all events, such a batch of desir
able Industrie, no one of which ap
pears to wunt aid beyond a proper site
for the locution of mills, Is thought by
prominent members nf the board of
trade to be one of the best oportunltles
that has been offered the board since
its incorporation.
COYNE NOT SATISFIED.
Thinks Ho Was Defeated b Questionable
Methods and Mav Contest.
Patrick Coyne, of Mlnooka, who was
defeated for supervisor of Lackawan
na, township at lust Tuesday's election
by six votes, Is making preparations to
institute a contest; his attorneys, M.
J. Donahoe and C. C. Donovan, were
busy yesterday looking over the papers
Bent in by the election boards of the
different districts of the township und
they may llle their petition In court tu
duy. William II. Fern, of the Arch
buld mines, Is the candidate who was
succesful over Mr. Coyne. Their re
spective votes were 390, 384.
In the Northeast district, where Mr.
Fern lives, he received lfd votes, and It
Is alleged by Mr. Coyne's friends that
there were Irregularities connected with
the balloting there. It Is claimed that
upwards of forty voters In the North
east district are willing to go on record
A DYING SPARK.
Slop Right Xow! Don't Light
Another! You're Burning
Your Brains.
Wrecks Along the Street-Side.
Oft-times tobacco's
victim's look at the
dying spark in the
cigar stump, or ut the
big masticated
"chaw" of tobacco
just expectorated
nnd with nerves nleo
tinized with tobucco,
mentally resolve,
"Now. thut Is my
lust. I will never use It ngain. 1 know
that It is injuring me physically and
financially and my nerves are becoming
so irritated that I can't stund the least
annoyance." What is the result? These
good resolutions are generally made
while the effect of the use of tobacco
practically paralyzes the cravings of
millions of irritated nerve centers and
just as soon us the effects commence
to puss i) way these good resolutions
weaken, showing conclusively that the
use of tobucco Is not a habit but a
disease of the nervous system caused
by the education of the nerves to crave
for the nicotine poisoning. What then
is the easy, permanent, natural way to
relieve yourself of the use of tobacco?
Certainly not by discontinuing it and
suffering" the nervous reaction and
prostrating effects and mental degen
eracy sure to follow ihe long and con
tinued use ot tobacco. Does It not sug
gest Itself to you thut the natural thing
to do Is to tuke a remedy that Is spe
cially prepared to eradicate the effects
of the nicotine In the system nnd to
overcome the nerve craving effects and
restore the tobacco irritated nerves to a
normal and healthy condition? To this,
we all say, "Yes, where Is the remedv?"
You will find it in No-To-Rac. This
Is easily said and we all naturally ask
for proof. Certainly. If No-To-Kac
fails to cure, The Sterling Remedy com
pany, of New York, Montreal and Chi
cago have so much faith In their rem
edy, that they positively guarantee to
refund the money, and the concern be
ing owned and operated by some of the
most reputable business men of the east
and west, Is absolutely reliable and we
are glad to say. able In every wuy to
live up to its guarantee.
The sale of No-To-Bnc within the
past few years has assumed enormous
proportions, almost entirely developed
upon its merits and the recommenda
tions of the cured. So great is the sale
that It Is hardly possible to go Into
any leading drug store without find
ing It on -sale, and the druggist has
nothing put words of praise to give It,
that they cast their ballots for Mr.
Coyne, but he was credited with only
twenty-five votes when the count was
completed.
There Is a division of opinion among
attorneys as to whether or not Mr.
Coyne, who is now one of the supervis
ors of the township, can hold over until
the contest will be decided.
