On Fore street, near the corner of
Franklin, there was an uncommon COM
motion yesterday, about quarter of
o'clock. The scene of the affair was
near Stafford block. AS it was in the
noon hour when many were returning to
work, crowd of 500 gathered very
quickly. The origin of the difficulty is
obscure. In some way difficulty has
arisen between Thomas Boyce and his
neighbor, named Reardon. The two
men adjourned to the street to have it
out, and with them went Mrs. Reardon,
who is young and comely, and Mrs.
Boyce, who is older, but far superior in
the arts of war; While the men struck
at each other the women pulled one an
others hair and ears. Early in the hos
tilities Mrs. Boyce had an ear nearly de-
tached, and Mrs. Reardon received
staggering blow across the chest from
Mrs. Boyce's experienced arm. No one
seems to have interfered to prevent the
sorry, but animated exhibition, and final.
ly one of the men drew knife and at
tempted to stab his assailant. The wife
of the menaced man saw her husbands
danger, and with heroic devotion threw
herself upon the assailant and seized his
hands. He was not so far carried away
with rage that he would stab woman,
so she managed to thwart him. Mean
while City Messenger Macgowan had, in
passing, been attracted by the crowd,
and had summoned the police. Officer
Skillings arrived and proceeded to act as
pacifcator in Way that had instant and
favorable results.
AS is usual when a general engagement
is going on, there were numerous minor
engagements in the outskirts of the au-
dience. Among others, local character
known as "Paddy-the. Gay-Boy," now a
veteran aged about 70. was carried away
with return of youthful ardor, and at
once proceeded to challenge his nearest
neighbor. But Mrs. Paddy-the-Gay- Boy
interfered and dragged away her enthu-
siastic spouse.

The name of the citizen fined was in

who was city marshal, was the father OF
Mr.. R. W. Lincoln, for so any years con-
nected with the Press. If that old blue
law was enforced stringently nowadays
there would be enough money pour into
the city treasury to about pay the salary

his possession almost every scrap of pa
per that was connected with his doings

WHEN PINS WE'RE NEW.

France claims that all new ideas which

of the pin, France deserves the credit. She
made the best pins long before they could
be made in other countries. and il was a
Frenchman, Fourier by name, who went

and makers of that city how TO improve
their machines. and thus draw the wire
finer for the manufacture of pins with solid
heads. This Improvement was a much
needed one for an act had been passed in
England prohibiting the sale Of pins unless
they had solid or double heads, which did
not come off. For long time. then, pins in
England belonged TO the list of imported
articles, but in 1925 mandatory was

FOOD FOR TYPHOID PATIENTS.
Proposed New System for Saving the
Emaciated Sufferer.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
Fifty years ago every typhoid patient was
subjected to severe and rigorous diet. To
avoid one evil they were exposed to another,
for although they did not succumb to an
intestinal perforation, caused by the adj
ministration of food, they were rendered
incapable of rallying from the condition of
loss OF flesh and weakness into which they
1t is now known that almost total alb
stinence from food increases the death
rate among typhoid patients, and in con-
sequence it is now customary to give them
food. AS soon the diagnosis Is made
we know that the complaint is a long one,
that organic loss will be considerable, and
we exert every effort to make 1t good. This
can be done successfully by the careful and
judicous administration of food.
Although all physicians now agree as to
the absolute necessity of giving food In
a liquid state, such as bouillon and milk,
in order not to overtax the intestines,
which are more or less studded with ulcera-
ton, the question of the maximum quantity
of food that can possibly be allowed and,
high pressure. does not yet seem to have
been seriously discussed. The reason of
this may be that the stomach itself is often
out of order, and that in order TO avoid
intolerance of food-that is to say, vomit-
ing-it has to be given in small and fire.

of recovery, in which the patient had every
day two warm baths, no medicine and the
foregoing regime, but II is impossible not
to think that he happened on a lucky series.
AS L said before, the stomach is not al
ways in good condition to admit of any
large amount of food, even when given in
small doses. We all believe in feeding
patients in typhoid fever. and in giving
them the materials for making good or
ganic loss; but to hope to nourish them
all abundantly. to overfeed them, as it
were, according to DR.. Tschudnowsky' S
method, will be to lay ourselves open to
the most serious surprises.

COOKING by ELECTRICITY.
AIluring Prospect in Store for the
Hired Girl of the Future.


Ten minutes in the Austrian department
of Machinery Hall, where cooking is done
by electricity, will convince the most skep-
teal worlds fair tourist that there is an
alluring prospect in store for the hired girl
of the future. There is no parsonage in
American domestic life having. greater in
fuelce over the economic affairs OF the
household and the resultant harmony of the

tribulation is without remedy, as witness
the graphic reading of the coronerS min

dreadful accidents to life and ~ seems

her mind to be overcome by any other
means than the kitchen of the future.
