Something Which the Majority of Cooks Fail ' to Do Well Mrs. Ewing's Methods. Broiling seemed to ho of more interest than any other of the subjects yet brought by Mrs. Ewing before her cooking class at Tlymouth Church, as there was a much larger attendance than usual yesterday morning. Mrs. Ewing said that she found in Cincinnati Italian steaks which sold at 0 cents a pound, and they were not as nice as cooking-school 6teaks, nor as fresh, but pentlemen liked them for luncheon with a glass of water. The latter remark was .drawled out in such an odd way that the class took tho point at once. Sho said 'women aro starving and sewing when It did not require cither tho forco or strength to make a loaf of bread into an Italian steak that would sell for 50 cents a pound Tho first thing sho broiled was a chicken. It was split open on the back and flattened out. An Eastern cooking teacher," he said, "went to a Western town, and spoko of it as a good joko when she told of a woman who always washed her chicken. I sometimes wash mine with a cloth and a little soap, and then rinse carefully. Ono would be surprised at the amount of dirt removed. But to flatten the chicken, after it is split, lay it between ' two towels, and press on the breast-bone, which will gent-rally break." The chicken she had was then wiped dry, put in a pan and set in a hot oven, where it was left for half an hour. If moisture had been left on tho fowl would have steamed, but putting it dry into a hot oven it was seared and the jniccs were kept in. She told her pupils to always 'put tho pan in tho middle of the oven, and trust to the Providence that takes care of chickens under nimilar circumstances." The tirst principle of broilinc, Mrs. Ewing said, is instant cooking of the surface. Tho next broiling was a porter-house steak, thongh the teacher recommended a sirloin as more nutritious, and she showed how that kind of a steak could bo cut into its natural .sections, put in the shape of tho tenderloin and skewered and cooked. She didn't think auy husband would know tho difference, and the wife could quiet her conscience, knowing sho had given him more nutriment than there was in a porter-house steak from a beef of the first quality. Tho lean of the best meat, she said, sho'uld bo pink, the fat white and the grain line. One steak -was put on a hot griddle, pressed down, and turned otten till cooked. "There ii no good broiler except tho Trii toaster,"

Mrs. Ewing remarked. Another steak was placed in it, and held over the blaze of the Ktove, while the teacher counted ten slowly, then it was turned over and ten counted again. She advised that tho steak should bo turned for fifteen minutes, onlyholding it long enough to count ten. This does not allow the juices to escape. In a gas stove one should open the Iron and rear drafts, and let the blaze pass close under the meat. It will bo perfectly cooked, and there will bo no taste of tKu gas. To season tho food mix a little melted outter, pepper and salt, and put on. To keep the steaK longer over the tire will make i thick crust and bnrn the meat. If a steak is tough, it ean bo hashed and cooked in the same way. A little butter may be put on the griddle to prevent sticking. Ham should always bo broiled on a gri ddle.

If to the seasoning a little lemon juice and parsley be added, one can have the famous a la inaitre du hotel seen on bills of fare. Tho two steaks broiled were placed on a platter, garnished with lemon, and passed for tho class to see. Ovsters should, sho said, bo dipped in melted butter and bread crumbs, ana bo broiled on the griddle, or toasted, but the fire must bo hot, so as to sear tho oysters instantly, and keep tho juices in, and if properly done thev will be plumn, when done, instead of shrunken. Fino white meal and flour is good to dip them in. The next lesson will bo on Wednesday morning, and the subject is to be "Roasting." CIUEF DOUGHERTY'S STATEMENT. lie Tells How the Elevator Fire Was Managed and What Embarrassed the Work. Fire-chief Dougherty, yesterday, regarding the fire at Elevator D last Tuesday night, replying to an inquiry of tho reporter as to his alleged mismanagement, said: "In the first place, there has been altogether a general misstatement of the facts concerning this fire. It is claimed that the engines were sent away just when the fire com menced its work. That is not true. There was no apparatus of any kind sent home. ne nrst two engines that came were worked uninterruptedly until the fire was entirely under control, and nearly out." "But what are the circumstances that cave rise to that chareef " "Well, we have worked on that building several times, and tho last time it was burning wo easily whinned the flame out. I had become thoroughly informed as to the plan or tne structure. 1 knew that in the northwest corner of tho building there was a stairway which should be the objective point and where the hose ought to reach at once. I was fully aware that in that place the engine-room connected with the main building. I w ent up tho stairway first with the expectation, of course, of finding the lire, believing it onginated m tho enuine-room. There was an im mense smoke, at that tiino going out of the top of the building but none iroin below, and I discovered that the fire was really in the largo bins at tho west end. As soon as I saw that the flames were there I realized that tho main building was doomed. Our only alternative then was to work from the outside, so we placed tho ladder against a shed and tried to reach the main building wim mo hooks, l nere was a great deal ot ice on the roof, and as the hooks were un able to penetrate tho sheet-iron roofing they sua ott as last as they were thrown upon it. There is no fire apparatus now in use with hooks heavy enough and designed to stick in such a roof, .s we worked further east there was a little building there where we cot some foothold and at last cot a stream right into the fire, but it was too small, and by the time it was backed up the building was gone." "What caused you to relinquish your efforts!" "Because, just at this vital point the water pressure went down on us, the company claiming we gave them an ofipressuro signal, which is false. I forgot at first that No. 8 did not respond to the first alarm. But as soon as I recalled it I ran to turn in the second alarm. My key was an old ono and positively would not turn in the box lock, so that I was further delayed by going to tho railroad depot for another one beiore 1 could open it. When 1 got back and turned the alarm in. not over ten minutes after tho first alarm, I think, there was a crowd of bovs around tho box. and they at once commenced guying me. rfi i 1 1 j. l i i t -l i -1 i xuai is uii mere is to lr, i imnK.

Pittsburg, Feb. 15. The Grand Lace Coal Comnanv. ono of the hircest eoal firma in this city, has confessed judgments for fcio.ouo in lavor of Isaac b. Vanvoorheis in trust for certain creditors. Tho sheriff made a levy to-day on three of their towboats, tho iSamuef J. Miller, J. S. Mercer and J. A. Blackmore, and they will bo sold next rnday. Alio extent of tho failure is not known. The firm's property, which runs up into tho hundred thouMtnds. is distributed along the rivers from this city to the Gulf of Mexico, and the announcement of the failure occasioned great surprise among the coal men of this vicinity. The embarrassment, it is said, dates back to last August, when tho great storm at New Orleans detroyed a large amount of tho company's coal and craft. The members of the firm are John and James Williams and Thomas Patterson. Tho company was a member of the Pittsburg and Southern coal combination, but other members of the latter concern say that tho loss to it will not bo heavy. Persons interested state that the indebtedness of tho firm will exceed $200,000, and may reach $CXX).CMX). The company has been in existence for twenty-five years, and in the opinion of the coal men and the business men of Pittsburg, was considered one of tho most reliable- of any doing business on the Ohio river. . - Brown's Expectorant has been in nse in Indianapolis over thirty years.

Chicago, Feb. 15. The convention hall in the Sherman House this morning rang with shouts of approval when E. S. Judge, of Baltimore, recommended that the Western Packers Canned-goods . Association form a trust. "We have not a market for all our product," said Mr. Judge, "and the question is, where are we going to find itf There are hundreds of packers who,tomeet obligations, are compelled to cut prices. Now, a great many of these have sold so close that they find themselves nearly bankrupt, and some of them will go out of business ere long. Wef want an association that will eovern prices. A system of warehouses where the surplus product could be stored and kept out of the market would solve the problem, and we could get our prices. Then, if any section of the country not in the association attempted to cut prices we could threaten them with a bigger cut and they would not dare to go below us. It must be done, as the inevita ble tendencv is ruination if a combination of fhUkind is not formed. It would not cost much, as the goods stored would be ample security and a guaranty of good faith. Manv are prejudiced ajrainst any such action. The public and the newspapers cry out against such combinations, but when your pocket comes into consideration xne aear puonc musi pay." William Boulter, ox-president of the Canadian packers, also made a speech attracting particular attention. Ho wanted f re tin-plate, but he didn't mean by that that he was in any sense in favor of free trade. After a great deal of discussion on tin-plate and tho tariff it was decided ii ; 1 i . i i i i a. ? . tnai mo cnairman suuuia seieci u wuiiuntee of three, reporting at to-morrow's meet ing, who are to go to Washington and do what they can with the congressional committee having in charge tho tariff bill to eet the tariff on tin removed. This is to apply also to 'cases exported and to all food products encased in tin and intended for home consumption. The argument presented in favor ot this was the statement that no tin-plate was manufactured in this countrv. and of that imported 87 per cent, was used in the manu facture of tin cans. 1 he committee having under consideration the question of over production reported that they could devise no adenuate means of relief, and a resolution'was adopted that the association in no way restrict this years pack.
