fully 600 persons to the Jackson street

he Will probably die.
Martin Randall was until n few days
ago, employed in the construction of the
new bridge. supt George Atkinson dis.
missed him for cause, and Randall
vowed vengeance. Last night while the
night crew was working, and Atkin-
directing his assistants below, Randall
quietly climbed n ladder and crept
stealthily across the tangle of Iron cross
pieces. He reached Atkinson's side, and,
catching him by the throat, tried to
hurl him into the river. Atkinson is a
powerful man. and resisted with all his
strength.

NO SECRET MEETINGS WANTED.

The Committee Of Seventy yesterday
" talked over matters" with the Con-
ference Committee selected by the Re
publican County Convention. The meet
ing was held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel.
This conference Is called "prelim-
mary" one. and 1t is said the Mayoralty
question was freely discussed. But the
most entire secrecy was observed, and
not a word OF what transpired was given
to the press.
All the anti-Tammany organizations
are appointing committees OF confer
ence on the local government question.
why sh ould an exclusive conference be
held between Republicans and the Com
mittee OF Seventy. from which others
are shut out?
Above all, why should secrecy be en-
forced, until the ticket Is agreed on, cut
and dried?
In peoples movement ought not the
people to know In advance something
about the candidates suggested, In order
to discuss their merits and be able to
form n Judgment as to their fitness?

Commerce and the Republican boys

The Grace party has yet to meet. why
should there be any Initial confer

parties? why should not all meet at
one time? why should secrecy be OBJ

1t NEEps EXAMINATION.

It is said that the Republican ma
torIty Of the Constitutional Convention
will submit the canal article and the
apportionment article to the people
separately and the remainder OF the
amended Constitution as whole.
There was strong partisan opposi-
ton to the submission of the appor-
tionment article as n separate section.
on the ground that this Is just what the
Democrats desire. 1t is believed that
the fragrant unfairness of the appor-
Torment makes probable Its rejection
by the people. But for this very reason
the caucus decided to let It stand alone,
as II thrown In with the other articles
II might risk the success OF changes of
yet greater Importance to the Republi-
can party.
1t Is, Of course, desirable that all
the new provisions be carefully ex-
amined and thoroughly discussed before
they are voted on by the electors. The
Constitution needs revision. but better
bear with 1t little longer than adopt
an Objectionable Constitution which may
be fastened on the State for years.

The Commissioners reserve the right to make

Annexed District on the enst side The plan now
adopted provides only for road on the west
side, above Forty second street, to Washington
Heights and the upper northwest limits OF the

Harlem out in the cold. Unless the Commission
adopts a satisfactory and definite route for the

Time Card for Fruit Canning.

As this Is the season for canning fruit
a table of time to cook and the amount
OF sugar to use with each may not come
amiss to a great many. Cook tomatoes
twenty minutes, add a little salt,
and can hot. Ripe currants take
six minutes to cook eight ounces Of
sugar to the quart Is about right. ST.
berian crabs, twenty-five minutes and
eight ounces of sugar to the quart
Peaches, fifteen minutes. and six ounces
Of sugar to the quart. Pears. twenty
minutes, and six ounces Of sugar to the
quart. Whortleberries, Ave minutes, and
four ounces of sugar to the quart. Plums.
ten minutes, and eight ounces Of sugar.
Raspberries, six minutes, with four
ounces of sugar. Cherries. five minutes,
and six ounces of sugar. Can the fruit
hot and tighten the cans a second time
after the fruit cools Never use poor
rubbers, for they let the air into the
fruit and render It liable to spoil. Keep
the cans in a dark place, for fruit re-
tains ITS color and flavor better II kept

Care of the Feet,

If the skin Is hard on the soles or heels
II may be softened by repeated soakings
in hot water and the wearing of soft
stockings and shoes. To keep the feet In
good condition they must, Of course, be
washed every day in tepid water. Then
they should be gently massaged and
rubbed with good toilet water. The nails
should be cut level with the toes, but no
shorter. Shoes toe short or too tight and
shoes too long or too wide all produce
corns. Hard leather also rubs against
and hardens the skin. So do "darns'' Of
any dimensions In stockings. 1t Is nee
essary to wear smooth stockings and
easy~ftting boots, with low heels to OBJ
taiE and retain a well-shaped foot,

Poetry About abe v. 4.

To the Editor:
A few lines to the young man who asked for
advice about his vsrmiform appendix;
As I'm no doctor, I'll venture no thesis
On that dreadful disease named appendicitis
But . little advice I wish to administer
To the young man who fears his appendix most
sinister.
Don't let such 9 tribe cause you much worry,
And don't cut II out in such a rip-roaring hurry
Perhaps you may learn when 1t Is shorn
That It's better to live with 1t. than to die
when It's gone.
But u perehancs cannot dissuads you.
And such be your fear that nothing will aid
you.
But tho certain knowledge that you are with
out II.
why call in the surgeon and go long he's
about It.
Let him cut out all else that's inside
From your innermost inwards to your outermost
hide
Let him cut out your liver, lest 1t might all
youi
And cut out your heart. for fear It might fail
you.
And cut out your lungs for fear Of consumption
And cut out your spleen or It might catch
somethin';
Remove all in fact but tooth. nail and skin,
And you'll be sure as a gun. that ais we'll
within. f. T., 1870 Amsterdam avenue.

How to Squeeze "a Lemon.

There are lemon squeeZers and lemon
squeezers, but 1 wouldn't use one of
them. The acid on metal makes the
juice taste metallic, and the wooden
ones are apt to leave a bad taste. Be-
sides that, II you use lemon squeezer
you are sure to get a lot of the essential
oil out of the rind of the lemon, and that
is rank poison to the stomach. The
best way to get the juice from a lemon
is to roll 1t till 1t is soft, then cut off the
end and insert silver knife and scrape
the pulp out into the dish That way
you get all the good of the lemon and
none of the bad, Roll it under your
hand on a hard table or put the lemon
down on the floor and roll 1t lightly un-
der your foot. Then wipe 1t off before
squeezing. Never leave the seeds of a
lemon in the pulp that you take out
The seeds will make the Juice very Bit
ter in half an hour after taken from the
lemon.

Jelly Glasses.

A cheap way to make jelly glasses is
suggested by a housekeeper who never
thinks of spending a penny on glass for
jelly. Take bottles OF the size desired
beer bottles make splendid one-and sat-
urate a cord with coal OIL then tie 1t tight
around the bottle. Be sure that none Of
the coal oil runs down the side of the
bottle; If It does, wipe 1t off. Touch a
lighted match to the string and the bottle
will cut In two as neatly as though
made that way. Wrap the cord three
times around right close together, and
just as the shreds drop away dash q
cup OF cold water on the bottle and tap
the neck end with the handle of a knife.
