We have 43 pairs left out of the 350 pairs of Patent Leather Shoes put on sale a few days ago at $1.50, $2 and $3. Old prices were $3 to $6. We expect to sell these 43 pairs in a few hours. The Philosopher looks at it this way: "The intrinsic value of wall paper does not determine its decorative effect. An expensive pattern may wholly fail to fulfill the object for which it wa selected, namely: to provide an artistic and delightful ornament for the room.

On the other hand a design costing but a few cents a roll may be so handled by the thoughtful workman as to yield rare effects of form and color that shall give lasting pleasure to those in whose daily sight it is to be. My conclusion, therefore, is this: People who are forced to economize in the matter of mural improvements should, in justice to themselves and out of regard for the sensibilities of their friends, take extraordinary pains to expend their limited appropriations judiciously. The result will more than justify their caution." We shall be glad to confer with people who fear they cannot afford to have "something different" on their walls. We believe we can convince them to the contrary. Colby Anient Decorative Specialists, 5T State Street.

pro.rr Ujutmi -H i MlNCLlUUltf. ii.iui..u The Chefs of Rochester Had Their Annual Ball. A WONDERFUL DISPLAY Everything That Culinary Ingenuity Can Devise and Execute Was on Exhibition and Eventually Mostly Eaten. Aebersold's halL on East Main 6treet, was the scene of a gay assemblage last night, the occasion being the second ban and culinary exhibition of the Cooks' and Pastry Cooks' Association. Those who were interested in the good things of life and who were able to discuss a choice fillet de bwuf or a good jelly remained in the dining-rooms below, and enjoyed them selves in this way, whihe the greater part of the large crowd present visited the hall above where, to the music of lank or chestra they danced the hours away.

It was a most successful event and one wJlich will be repeated in years to come. One who does not know what the skill and ingenuity of a practiced chef can contrive would have been amazed at the won derful exhibits that adorned the tables. There were the most natural looking fowls that seemed to be ready to spread their wings and try a circuit of the rooms. On closer inspection it was seen that they were not alive, but had been prepared for the table and afterwards adorned with their plumage in order to show what could Ite done in the line of cooking if one only knows how. The first piece of work that attracted the attention of the reporter was 'i large rep resentation of the treasury building at Washington, by Chef G.

Danxon. It was a good eight feet iu length and ornate to a degree. In the center was Ihe treasury building, made up of prepared sugar. Strewn about the yard in front of the building were horn of plenty from which were falling gold coins. This was intended as a satrical reference to the way in which the gold is Iteing removed from the treasury at the present time.

At one end of the table, on which the exhibit rested, were gallantiness of turkey and capon, and baskets of fancy jellies. At the other end was an appetizing-looking turkey.surround-ed by Fpaghetti and capons. It would be hard to conceive of a f.iugle specimen more elaltornte and complete. The Powers hotel, through Chef Charles Blaesi, furnished the largest number of exhibits. On one table was a game turkey, with a game pie underneath.

About all that convinced the reporter that the turkey was not alive was the fact that no "gobble, gobble, gobble" was heard when the red of the programme was dashed in front of its eyes. Mr. Blaezi also furnished a windmill, fully two feet in height, of fancy colors. It was made of nuga, a composition of caramels and almonds. The foundation was of rock sugar.

In a small pond, swam two wee gold fish. The traditional weather vane surmounted the windmill. A salmon trout almost hid in a jelly glace was also shown as the handiwork of Mr. IJlaesi. About the fish were wax flowers.

A calfn head of large dimensions, broiled, pickled and decorated with all the furnishings graced another portion of the dining hall. A fillet de boeuf, with archwork of the French tyjte, thirty inches in bight and a triumph of the culinary art was pointed out as one more piece of the work of the same artist. A pate of goose liver mounted on a "suckle," and representing a flower bed completes the list of the contributions received from the Towers hotel. Chef Jacob Blaezi, of the Whitcomb house, was represented by several fine specimens of cookery. One corner of the dining hall was wholly taken taken up by a couple of large turkeys, one tipping the scales at forty pounds and the other at thirty-eight.

They were beautiful fowls. Cut flowers and a large basket of tulips and mignonette made a setting to the whole exhibit. On another table was found a French bones Turkey, the aforesaid fowl being in a pacture with life-like forms of birds and animals. The stand was of Warwick composition and very artistic. A hunting scene in winter furnished a subject for a clever sitecimen by Chef Blaezi.

At the bottom of a pedestal standing twenty-six inches in height was a hedge, perfect in all its parts, while at the top of the pedestal was a flower basket. Chef Charles Wiederhold showed a Turkish pavilion made of almond paste and highly colored. It was twenty-five inches in height. The approaches to the pavilion were clearly indicated. It showed plenty of work and as very creditable to the cook who had the trouble of seeing it put together piece by piece.

A farm house scene by Chef John Burr, of Eggleston Archer's had many attractive features. A small pig, roasted but seemingly no worse for having seen the kettle, was lying iu one corner. The buildings, which were many and true to nature, were composed of a sugar preparation. In the barn a lamb's head w-as seen, the hay stack stood in the center, the material for the stack being shoe string potatoes. A farm wagon laden with apples with in the yard.

A couple of doves were Been upon the roofs of the buildings. In the kitchen the family meal was spread, thus making it a typical farm scene. An American boned turkey, the work of Chef Lo May of the New Osbnrn house, is also worthy of notice. This was upon a standard of four pillars composed of jelly and decorated with cut flowers. The American boned turkey differs from th-y French boned turkey in the manner of cooking.

Shortly before 10 o'clock, the grand march began, led by President George Blaezi nd wife. This was the signal for the sport to begin the hall above, and it continued without intenuption for several hours. In addition to the special pieces of cookery shown last night, the menu was very elaltornte. The success of the event was largely due to the following committee: Charles BIhoki. Jacob Blnesi.

John Schmidt, Henry J. Buhr, Chnrles Widerhold. Charles Kaetz, William Frenz, Louis N. Another Will Discovered. It has been discovered that the late John B.

Sweeting, of ISnx-kport, made a will som years earlier than the date of the one offered by his second wife for probate a few days ago. The first will was executed in l7tS. and was drawn up by Hon. Charhn S. Maker, who found it among his papers a day or two ago.

Tills will hitves the entire pnlerty to Mr. Ellen M. Sweeting, the flntt wife, and her children, in equal bhares. It will tie offered for probate. The second wife, as wan stated in this paper recently, d'ne not prtoe to defend the will offered by her, and the first one will probably be admitted to probate.

BUILTTHE FIRST CONDUIT For the Past Eleven Years He Had Been Superintendent of One of the New York Water Supply Reservoirs Twice in the Assembly.

Word was received yesterday afternoon from Kensico, Westchester county, this state, announcing the death of George D. Lord, a former resident of Rochester, who for two terms was its representative in the assembly, and who for a number of years figured prominently in its local jtolitics. particulars were stated in the dispatch as to the cause of his death, but it is believed that it resulted from a stroke of apoplexy. Mr. Lord, who was the son.

of the late Jarvis Lord, of I'ittsford, was born at that place in 1S37. His early life was spent on his father's farm, which was for a number of years the old Lord homestead. Subsequently he moved to this city, and in 18G8 became connected with his father as a contractor on canal and railroad work. He continued in this business until 1874. In the meantime, in the year 1870, he was elected to the assembly from this district, as the Democratic candidate, defeating the Hon.

Charles S. Baker. In 1871 he was again placed in nomination by his party, and he succeeded in securing an election over the late Frederick Douglas. His career as an assemblyman was considered a conspicuous one. He figured especially prominent as the introducer of the Hemlock lake bill.which provided for the bringing of the water of that lake to this city, and carried the bill through against the most strenuous opposition.

In 1873, he again received the nomination for assemblyman, but in the election which followed, he was defeated by the late Hon. Henry L. Fish. After leaving the assembly Mr. Lord continued his business as a contractor.

He was connected with the firm of Lord, Mudgett Company, in canal contracts, and with the firm of Lord, Bellows Company, in Northern Pacific railroad contracts. In 1S73, he received the contract for bringing the Hemlock lake water here, and in 1S7G his work was completed. One of the most difficult pieces of contracting work was the deepening of the lake level of the Erie canal at Buffalo, which he completed in 1871. He also received many other contracts for the construction of public works. While in this city, and after he had returned from the assembly, he resided in the third ward, and was its representative for two terms in the common council.

Later he retired from polities entirely, and for eleven years, he had taken no active part in them. From 1SS4. he was in the employ of the board of public works in New York, with a residence in Kensico. He there had charge of the reservoir, which furnishes, in part, the water supply of New York city. During the eleven years that he has been in charge of the reservoir, he had frequently received public recognition of the efficient manner in which he managed the work and cared for the supply.

Among his relatives are the following: Two sons, George J. and Durell. and two daughters, Mrs. Dunham, of New York and Miss Jessie Lord, all of Kensico. One brother, Frank N.

Lord, of this city, also survives him. His step-mother, Mrs. Zil-phia M. Lord, widow of the late Senator Lord, is still living at Fittsford. No word had been received last evening by his relatives, as to what arrangements had been made for the funeral.

It is, however, likely that the funeral. It is, how-will take place at Pittsford. It is thought the remains will be brought from Kensico this evening. TERM EXAMINATIONS. The Kindergarten Sessions Are Not Af fected by Them.

The action Is brought by Dixon, who is a produce beyer at Halls, ou the Northern Central railroad, to recover df mages for an alleged niis- trko made by the telegraph company in send lug a message ior me jjiauiuu. itixon alleges that he received an Inquiry from a 1. 1 ffalo firm asking the price of a certain kind of fruit, and wired an answer that the price was $1.50 per barrel. He claims that the telegraph oomrany left out the word fifty in seeding the message and the Eiiffalo Unu ordered two carloads of the fruit, but when Jt received the bill and the fruit was In Puf falo it refused to accept the shipment be- corse of thrf difference in price. Mr.

Dixon was compelled, therefore, to store the fruit i'i til he could make a sale, and he sued to rwever the cost of storage and freight. Iu the circuit court the plaintiff was given a verdict, from which the telegraph company appealed. They Will Make Rules.

The Empires, in all their paraphernalia iniply, shortly, and quickly laid the champions to sleep. Of course it was an Interesting gnme, that is for the victors. No opitortuuity was lost by the Empires to impress their victims with the fact. The Genesees were boastful when they appeared for the fray. The Empires on the other hand were hopoful.

It was a repetition of the story of the Scriptures. The trick was dime with a vim and vigor which left no room for argument. It was not a scratch victory for the Empires. They are bowlers. The Gcaesetrs had to labor under some disadvantages, however, owing to the fact that they were visitors and like strange people in a strange country were somewhat timid.

"Little Boys Blue" was the that the Live Oaks sang lat evening after their victory over the Scrantoms at Orth's alleys on Grand street. As a result of last night's contest they hae a very insecure hold on second place and that gave them the "blues." The game itself was very uninteresting as It was too much onesided. The Live Oaks took the first gnme into camp by a margin of thirty-four pins. The second game was a veritable cinch ftr the Live Oaks and they jollied home v.hh thirty-seven pin which they carried in a clothea basket they had brought with them.

The Youne Men's Catholic Clnb of SS. Peter and Paul's Church held their first annual banquet last evening at their club house on Litchfield street Ihe occasion wns nleasant one and there waa a large number present. Tie club has Iteen in existence only six years, but it has proved itself to be very influential hoth in the church and society circles.

At 9:30 o'clock all adjourned to the difi- ing hall. Covers were laid for ICS persons. The members and friends went to their seats to the strains of a march played by Messrs. Hermann l'ohl and E. Moran on the piano.

Refore being seated Rev. Father Francis St. Clair saiu grace. After an elaborate dinner, served by F. Hammasch, had been done justice to, President Henry Rrayer of the club arose and named Peter A.

Yay as toastmaster. Toastmaster Yay first callea upon Father St. Clair. The latter spoke of the benefits to be derived from affiliation to the Young Men's Catholic Club, and wished it all success. He said that if the club should at any time need assistance they need not be afraid to call upon him.

Adam J. Smith followed with a few ap propriate remarks. Then the toastmaster called the turn upon Manager Dan Shan non of the Rochester base-ball club. "Danny" spoke of what he had done for the Ruffalos, and then related what he was going to do to them this season. "I won't do a thing with 'em, was greeted by tu multuous anplause.

Messrs. John P. Leimpruber, Rernard McSteen and President Henry Rrayer followed with ap propriate speeches. The sjteeches were interspersed by selections from the Polyhemian quartette, composted of II. P.

F. McSweeney. W. F. I'redmore, P.

A. Kearney and W. J. Kane, and a piano solo by Frank Pohl, organist of SS. Peter and Paul' Church.

A vocal solo wns also rendered by II. I. F. Mc-Sweeny and Officer Thomas Sheehan, of the Rochester police force, rendered a selection entitled, "Old Ireland," which was vociferously applauded. "Tom" did himself proud and had to respond to two encores.

J. Oswald and Charles Stand also sang. The following were the guests of honor? John P. Smith, president of the Knights of St. Paul; Collector Valentine Fleckenstein, Ex-Alderman Frank Hern, Charles Stauti, Supervsior Howard, of the fifteenth ward; Charles Leimgruher, Jacob Zimmer, William Leaty, Charles Poesn-h and Leo Gress.

After the oratorical exercises Leo Gress and Frank Seiner, the latter of the Y. M. C. gave an exhibition in wrestling. The match was the best three falls out of five and Pro fessor Thomas McCarthy, of the Rochester Athletic Club, acted as referee.

Seiner won the first three falls and the match in bouts of two and one-half, one and seven minutes respectively. The success of the evening's entertainment was primarily due to the following commit tee in charge: McSteen. chairman, T. Mc- Dermott, F. Horn and II.

Itrayer. TURNERS AS TURKS. Their Mask Ball at Germania Hall Was a Complete Success. The biggest and jolliest masque ball of the season was given last night at Germania hall, under the management and auspices of the Rochester Turnvereiu Fully one thousand people were in attend ance.of whom one-third were arrayed in fancy costumes grave and gay. Unlike the customary masquerade, last night's fes tivities were introduced with a Turkish carnival, and the hall was gorgeously dec orated with the sultan's colors, white and green, while the stage was arranged to reit-retent an Oriental harem, with tapestries, rugs and divans surrounding the sultan's seat under a canopy on which was seen the crescent of Mohammed.

At 8:30 o'clock the sultan, preceded by seventeen members of his life guard entered, followed by the wives of the harem, court fools and sixteen young women at- ttied as odelisks. The wives were dressed in flowing robes of various colors with trowsers to match their costumes, and on their faces were the veils which no Turkish subject is supposed to lift under penalty. These veils did not seem to awe some of the guardsmen last night though, for they raised the veils at every oppor tunity offered. The odelisks were fanci fully dressed in short skirts and blouses, and carried tambourines. Ihey did not want for attention from the gentlemen of the court and, during the Armenian revo lution which was precipitated, smiled at the capture of the sultan's wives with a smile that indicated their wish to be car ried away as well.

The Armenians had decidedly the better of the "Sick Man" from the start and, before aldrcting his eight lr.dies of the harem, per formed a dance with the ladies instead of be ing massacred In the regulation Turkish man iter. Following the dance and exit of the Armenians and wives of the sultan, the Odel isks captured the robust guards end Arabs for the grand march, which took place on the ball reoni floor. The march was like all such features of a masked ball and was joined In bv scores of dancers attired as monks, motor- nen, bloomer girls, and presenting the many conceits seea at such a time. There vas a Svengall with blue eyes, who danced the two-step with a "new woman," wearing plaid bloomers, a female kodak hend. who polkad with a big German enveloped in a goestmer In representation of a monk, and scores of fools, fairies and washerwomen dancing with kings, courtiers and tramps, all weary and warm, but happy.

Shortly after 11 o'clock the masks that hail not been torn off or wilted tteyuud use, were raised by the dancers and thereafter thone In civilian dress were mingled In the whirl ing mass until the band didu play on. It was one of the most successful balls, financially and socially, that the Tumors have held since their organization, nearly forty years since. The Chatfield Murder Case.

That the time when the swords will rust in their scabbards and peace, sweet peace, will brood over the local democracy is still in the dim vista of the future is excellently well illustrated by the roasting which was accorded the Cleveland legion by one oi the Democratic palters yesterdiy. The legion held a meeting last evening, but when the attendants were sintken to regarding the attack they looked unutterable things and said nothing. There was a unt form taciturnity among the members as to the business transacted although it was learned that F. E.

Babcock presided at the recording secretary's desk in place of Will-A. Marakle of the tenth ward and Wheatland, who is out of town. Joseph F. Ileimbach, him of the government building, wielded the cavel, and it could not be learned that the legion had taken away decided steps to remove from its present quarters although the statement has been reitentedly made that it is very anxious to get away to a place where the light of publicity will not beat ho strongly upon the merulters. The usual pedro gams languished earlj' in the evening, the lights were extinguished soon after ami the piebald cat was left in purring and peaceful possession of the quarters.

Duties on Cut Diamonds. Waehington, Feb. 3. The treasury department has instituted investigation into the falling off of receipts from imported cut diamonds. The appruiser at New York reports that little, if any, revenue is now derived from that source.

He bays, however, that diamonds are now more plentiful and cheaper than they have been for many years, and he expresses the cpinion that the smuggling of the precious stones is carried on more successfully now than heretofore. Under the present construction of law, cut diamonds are dutiable at the rate of 23 per cent, ad valorem. Under the former tariff law they were dutiable at the rate of 10 per nud during the last year of the operation of the old tariff, in duties on ctit diamonds, representing a value of imported, wis collected at New York. Fare on Filled Cheese. Washington, Feb.

3. The sub-committee of the ways and means committee on miscellaneous subjects "to-day heard Hatch of Missouri in support of the several bills "defining filled cbeese and imposing a tax upon its sale, exportation and incorporation." The exports of fine American cheese, he said had dwindled in proportion to the increase in the manufacture of filled cheese. The filled cheese hail destroyed the market for dairy cheese. The selling of this article for the pure article was a fraud, and should be stopped. The measures having that object in view were, with the exception of tli section defining "cheese" and "filled cheese" similar to the oleomargarine law.
