A cIrdle Of Pies Around the Earth.

NEW YORK, May IA president of
one of the big pie baking establishments
of this city who has head for figures
recently figured out that nearly 25,000,-
900 pies were eaten in New York every
year.
This sounds like a fairy yarn, but
when figured out it allows just fifteen
pies year to every man, woman and
child in the city. One pie will cut into
four pieces, fifteen pies will make sixty
pieces, and one piece eaten every six
dayswill make fifteen pies year. There
are great many in the city who eat ten
times this amount of pie every year, and
there are great many who never eat it
at all.
The average cost of a pie is ten cents,
and thus the average amount of money
spent in this city for pie each year is
$2,5OO,0OO. There is a pie for every sea-
son of the year-mince pie for winter,
apple pie for fall, winter and spring.
huckleberry pie for summer, and peach
pie, plum pie, cherry pie, cranberry pie,
pumpkin pie, custard pie, pineapple pie,
NSoAA PASs AhuOuiD llS anu every OlneI
kind Of pie for almost every week in the
year. Mince pie is said to have the big
gest sale, and in one bakery alone tons
of mince meat are made every year,
and forty barrels of apples are chopped
up every day.
The average pie is foot in diameter,
SO in a single year the citizens of this
city eat more than 4, $50 miles of pie, and
in less than two years and a half they
will have eaten enough pie to have
formed band of pie crust around the
earth at the equator.
The average pie is two inches thick
and if placed one on top of another
the pie eaten in two and a half years
would reach to the height of thousand
miles. Taking the average weight Of a
pie as one pound, the total weight con-
sumed in one year would be 1850 tons.
If all this pie were put in one heap and
the average weight carried away by
men, women and children was fifteen
pounds each, it would take the entire
population of the city of New York to
remove it, if no one took a second load.

Concerning Kate Field.
TCOrrespondence Of the Press

NEW YORK, May 1.-Kate Field
This brilliant audacious, aggressive
woman talks much as she writes in clear,
caustic style and with smile on her lips
even when dealing the most cutting
blows. She is curious mixture of di-
plomacy and fearlessness, now yelling
her real sentiments under the most pol
itic of utterances, anon fiinging pru-
dence to the winds. She is assertive, and
sets forth her ideas with an air which
seems to say: That's what l, Kate Field,
thinke, You can like it or not, as you
ple1ro
Katherine Van Arnheim, a very tai
ented and beautiful Chicago singer, was
present one day when Miss Field was
ing down laws for using the voice.
hch the artist at once discovered to be
absolutely worthless Nine. Van Arm
helm is always ready to discuss the regu-
lation of the voice, and although she was
"a comparative stranger to Miss Field, at
once joined issue with her.
"How do you dare, Miss Field, to say
thus and so about the manner in which
one should use the voice in singing-you,
who cannot use it properly in speaking,
even?"
"And pray, who are you" sharply
asked Miss Field. 'to dispute me in this
fashion,"
swell, said Van Arnheim, Il may be
very small potatoes compared 10 Miss
Kate Field, but l know something of the
voice, and tell you you are all wrong"
After this tilt the two became great
friends.
Another woman who dares to differ
from this distinguished feminine auto
crat is Margaret Sullivan, of Chicago.
She was breakfasting with Miss Field not
long since in Washington, and was pour
ing milk in her tea when Kate cried:
"How can you drink milk in your tea?
Don't you know that it's leather"
II like leather" was the calm reply of
Mrs. Sullivan, as she proceeded to drink
her tea.
Miss Fields signature is perfectly con-
sonant with the character of the aggres-
sive woman who penned it. Here it is:

II you have a word unsaid,
Spoken would make one comIoriea,
Go find that one, and say It straight,
IL Is word that cannot walt
II you can do kindly deed,
Can heal the sick or hungry leeo,
DO not leave the deed undOne
Until you see tomorrow's SUM-
But angry word and selflsn way
Are best put off another DAY.
AND then another day again
Postpone what gives another PAIN
SO keep the hasty speeches. GOWN,

RANDALL CLUBS MUSICALE.
A Delightful Evening Of Music Without Any
polities.

beuEhttul Evening OF hiustc WHnout A"s
Poiities.
Old City Hall was packed with the friends
and admirers OF the Randall Club last night.
The occasion was the first Of series OF
musicales TO be given by the club. The hall
had been tasteiully decorated for the even
ing. Long streamers OF bunting were sus-
pended from wall to wall, while the gallery
was adorned with all the national flags
The stage was o mass OF plants, The
Great Western Band discoursed sweet strains
and charmed the audience with popular
and classical selections. The orchestra was
hidden behind q profusion of tropical plants.
The artistic manner in which the plants had
been arranged SO as TO cover the begrimed
walls and unsightly stage settings, was the
work of b. A. Elliot & Co.
After the audience were comfortably seated
Conductor Weiss took his position, and
with baton in hand gave the signal, at
which the band broke out into Won Weber's
grand composition, "Silvana." After this
had been duly encored by the appreciative
audience, Gus Mueller rendered ''The
Favorite," /" by Hartman. This was re-
ceived with considerable applause, as was
also The Shepherds Life in the Alps"
arranged by f. Dietz. The band continued
with well-aranged programme. At its
conclusion the hall was cleared and the
young people tripped lightly to the sweet
strains OF Strauss until midnight. Quite
number of local political lights were pres
ent, but politics were laid on the shelf for
the time being. The gathering was of
non-partisan character, and every body pres
ent seemed to enjoy themselves.
The Committee of Arrangements, to whom
the success of the evening was largely due,
were: President f. j. Wei1el, j. Presley
Fleming and Timothy O'Leary, Jr.

NEW YORK, May 14.-About a week ago
well-dressed woman called on the Rev.
John Larkin, of the Church of the HOLY
Innocents, 126 West Thirty-seventh street.
and presented card which bore the name
of Mrs. Lucy c. Hart. She told Father
Larkin that she wrote for the press, under
the nom de plume of Lucy c. Lille, and
with tears in her eyes, told a story of
her husbands prosecution and of her
need of money. She asked Father
LRrkln for loan of $50. of
fering as collaterals roll of manuscript.
which she said was worth $500, and an order
on the cashier OF the Herald for the amount
due on an article entitled Modern Play-
wrights," both of which Father Larkin took
as security after loaning her the $50. A
few days later she borrowed S15 more.
When the order was presented at the Herald
office there was no money to the credit of
Lucy c. Lille, and Inspector Byrnes was
notified.
A few days ago Frank q. Hart was ar
rested for the larceny of $3.50 from a firm
in Front street, the information coming
from Harris wife, who subsequently, repented
of having given it, Yesterday the detec-
tives arrested Mrs Hart as she was leaving
the Tombs, where she had gone to visit her
husband. She was taken to the Jefferson
Market Court and held for examination, It
is believed that Mrs. Hart is the same wom-
an who similarly swindled Mrs. Jennie
June Croly out of $50.
