New York Sun: When the steamship PoIaria of the Union Direct Hamburg line, which arrived on Tuesday, was eight days out and llearly in mid-ocean First Mate Traulsen was hit on the head by some thing and knocked nearly off the bridge, on which he stood smoking his pipe. He thought at first that some part of the rig ging had been blown loose, but 0 big bird came futtering down on the deck exhaust ed. He ran down and seized the bird, which proved to be large eagle of d kind seldom caught The bird was so exhaust ed that it was easily captured. Trauisen tied the bird to the deck and gave it a piece of raw meat. This the bird devour- ed as though it had had nothing to eat for several days. The voracity of the bird in- dicated that it would be an expensive boarder, but the Polaria, like other mer- chant vessels, cares good many rats, and the sailors were set Go catching them. A big fellow was thrown down Ill front of the eagle, which caught it and broke its neck before it had time to sniff. The eagle stripped off the flesh, and in five minutes not 8 bone was left. The bird ate all the rats the sailors could catch that day. The ship carpenter soon rigged up neat and comfortable cage, and the eagle was put into it. The eagle IS & beautiful bird, delicately speckled with brown and white feathers. Its head is small, but its eyes are large, and in the dark they glow like balls of fire. When the mate puts his hand in it stands up straight, opens its crooked bills, and misses like an owl. Now that the birds appetite after the long fast in mid-ocean has been satisfied, 1t eats only four rats day. Traulsen says he will take it back to Hamburg.

Speaking of glass eyes, said an old lawyer, ''brings to my mind little incident that occurred in Chicago. Among our young professional men Is one whose bril- liant black eyes would attract attention anywhere. He goes much into society, and is quite favorite among the ladies because of his eyes. One of these beauti- ful black eyes is glass, but it seems so much the counterpart of the other that not one person in hundred would detect its artifciality. Among the members of his profession not one knows that the young man has only one good eye. On one oc- casion he escorted young lady to the re- freshment tables and entertained her with pleasant chat in way that he thought was making favorable impression. As they we're taking ice cream he looked up as she gave utterance to some startling exclama- tion and was surprised to see her eyes fixed on him with a look of mystifed intentness and horror. She was well bred girl, but something had so astounded her that she continued to look at him in a way that raised the question of her sanity. A fly had lit square in the center of his brilliant black glass eye and remained there, he, of course, unconscious of it's presence. The spectacle of that eye looking at her with fly on it and the owner making no attempt to brush it of was too much for his com panion. His explanation, even, was not quite satisfactory. She had believed so implicitly in those magnificent dark eyes that she has since that time regarded him as something of fraud"
 Mrs. A. T. Stewards will, after proyid- ing for legacies for relatives amounting to $1, ,450, 900 and annuities aggregating $50, 900, divides the residue into equal parts. one of which is given to Mrs. Stewards nephew, Charles J. Clinch, and the other to Judge Hilton. In the codicils addition al legacies amounting to $75, 1000 are auth orized. The one-half first beeueathed to Charles J. Clinch is to be shared, half and half by him and Sarah N. Smith, Mrs. Stewards niece, to whom $25O, GOO was or iginally given, with $500, ,O0OO for her chil dren. The one-half bequeathed to Judge Hilton IS converted into trust by the first codicil, and the management and disposi tion of it are left entirely at his discretion by the subsequent codicils. The object of this trust, as defined by the first codicil. is to be held in trust for the completion and endowment of the cathedral in Garden City, the construction, equipment and en- dowment of two cathedral schools, and the erection of such other buildings at Garden City as the bishop of Long Island and the trustee may agree upon. If the estimate of the Stewart estate generally accepted be approximately correct, this CO., dicil provided for an expenditure of be- tween $9, ,000, 900 and $10, ,O00, 900 upon the cathedral, the schools, and other buildings.

Its theory is that fresh air. is necessary for perfect cooking, The wire gauge allows the fresh air to enter the oven without cooling it. The air passes through the gauge in jets or sprays, and by combining chemically with the food prevents shrinkage or loss'Of weight, and renders it easily digested and more nutri- tious. Fresh air is as necessary in the cook ing of the food as it is in it's assimilation after it is eaten.

Al. Spslding, of Chicago, who takes his
defeat of securing the championship for the
Chicago club very sorely, is one OF the most
noted base ball enthusiasts of the country :;
his name Is as widely known as that Of Al.
Reach, OF Philadelphia, Won der Abe, OF St
Louis, and numerous other base bali lights
OF the past and present generation. Spalding
had reckoned on securing the championship
most too securely, but now that it has been
lost to the club he Is already beginning to
think and plan for next year, as his srdor
and energy in the sporting liue scknowl-
edges no defeat but increases only the
desire to be ever up and doing. The
defeat of the Chlcagos had been
prophesied at the early part of the
season by numbers OF base ball men, on &C
count of Spsulding's one association scheme.
Won der Ahe of the St. LOUIS Browns, who
secured the championship, had pledged him
self To stick to the American Association and
would not enter into any scheme which
would in any way injure his plans Al.
Spaulding is the inventor of many of the
mum erous useful devices made and used for
the protection of the base ball player.
He has also published 4 number of score
books which have merited the unqualified
endorsements received by all players OF the
great national pastlme game who have ever
undertaken to score game OF base ball.
Ten years ago, in 1916, Al Spauldiug in con-
nection with his brother engaged in the bust.
ness of furnishing base ball supplies and the
business has grown to such an extent that a
branch house was established Ia New York,
the general reputation of which seems to in.
dictate that the firm stands in good condition.

Democratic Success.

As the returns of the election make
manifest its general results, the Democratic
party finds that it has great cause for
congratulation in the evidence given of its
growing strength. There have been
some losses Of congressman in New
York, Virginia, Kentucky, Ohio, In
diana, Illinois and Michigan. We have
made gains in Massachusetts,, New Hamp-
shire, Connecticut, Minnesota, California
and South Carolina. There will be good
working Democratic majority in the next
Congress. The states in which we have
gained show the spreading influence
of the party; our losses in the
Southern states are such as are en-.
countered without detriment to the gene.
raj vigor of the party. The growing Dem.
ocratic sentiment in New England and in
the Northwest and on the Pacific slope is
especially encouraging as showing the fresh
field ripening for the Democratic sickle
The senatorial gains in New Jersey and
Indiana also gladden. the Democratic
heart.
The general result is encouraging to tn.
expectation of long and vigorous growth
of the party.

the uusettllnp influence of poIiticaI discuz

waiting in horror and suspense for the settle
