Bism arck's Former Cook the Quickest.

Bismarck's Former Cook the Quickest.
The fastest cooking, automatically at
tested, was done not long ago by Prince
Bismarck's former chef, who is now
chief cook in famous restaurant Of
Berlin. He had made a bet with reg
ular guest Of the place that he could
kill, dress, cook and serve q chicken in
six minutes. The exploit was to be per-
formed before invited spectators.
AT O'clock on the:appointed evening
the cook appeared with his gas cooking
stove ON platform in sight of all in the
room. He waved the chicken around
his head and it cackled loudly: Decap-
itating the fowl with one blow of gilt
tering knife, this gastronomic expert
within sixty seconds had removed every
feather from it. The gas stove was al
ready lighted, with a broiler upon it.
The fowl was cut open and drawn IN
one other minute and placed upon the
broiler; q hot dish garnished with
watercress was at hand, and it lacked
just second of the six minutes when
the chicken was served.-Pittsburg Dis
patch.
Firemen Fought While the Village Burned
At o'clock in the morning word came
from Pierceton, Ind, village of 1900
inhabitants, that one of the principal
business blocks was on fire. Two fire
companies were sent from Warsaw but
could do nothing with the burning
building, and it was soon destroyed. Ed
ward Mosey, clerk in a store in the
burning block, jumped from the second
story window and broke leg.
When the fire was at its worst cou-
pie of the members Of the two companies
became involved in controversy.
Each company took the side of its MEN,
Der, and for awhile the fire was forgot
ten and the companies turned their noz-
zles on each other. In the meantime
the building was oonsumed.-Cor. Wash

nit Suicide.
I'm drown myself! l don't want to live
any longer!" was the cry that startled the
passengers on board the ferry steamer
Piedmont ON her way to this city at 9 40
o'clock last night. The words were uttered
by mddle-aged woman neatly dressed in
black, as she dashed her hat to the deck and
moved in the direction Of the steamers rail.
She reached the side of the steamer and
was about TO step from the seat to the rail
when Frank Rodgers, one of the deck
hands, rushed forward and seized her
around the waist in time to prevent her
leaping into the bay. The wOuld-be suicide
struggled to shake him off, but assistance
came and she was carried into the saloon
and detained until the steamer reached her
landing.
She was then escorted ashore by Captain
Poole, and as she seemed to have thought
better of her determination to throw her
self into the bay, she was allowed to enter a
hack and drive uptown She had refused
to say who she is or where she came from.
She left the hack at corner of Suffer and
Kearny streets and soon disappeared down

CLOSING THE DENS.
The New Ordinance Will Be Rig.
idly Enforced.

A copy of the ordinance making it mis-
demeanOr to lease property on Morton
street for immoral purposes was sent to
Chief Of Police Crowley yesterday. and the
police VIII be asked to strictly enforce the
ordinance.
Supervisor Aver, the author Of the
ordinance. says that this law is only an
opening wedge TO drive fallen women from
their strOngholds in the heart of the city.
As soon as possible other ordinances relat-
ing to other streets will be introduced DR..
Aver has no doubt that the ordinances with
this object in view will be successfully exc
cuted.
Mayor Sanderson declined yesterday to
express any opinion further than that the
new ordinance would be rigidIy enforced
DR.. Aver had promised to confer with him
about it, but HAD so far failed to do so.
1t may be of public interest TO know that
there are general orders which have been
in existence nearly twenty years that cover
the same subject. Why these general laws
have not been enforced remains for the
police to explain. 1t is claimed that past at
tempts 10 drive out houses of bad repute
have only resulted In scattering the inmates
prOmiscuously all over the city. The Off
Gals say it was better to have these women
centralized, If it is in the heart Of the city.
