NEW LONDON SCANDAL.
A Sensation that Stirs the Aristocracy
Thoroughly.

A Sensation that StirS the Aristocracy
Thoroughly.
London. April 14-NOt since the pub
LEGATION of Editor Stead'S Modern
Babylon has aristocratic society re-
ceived such a shock as attends the de-
yelopment that well-known professor
of music, a member of several prom
inent clubs, who had the entree to
the most aristocratic society, has found
it necessary to flee the country as a
result of a discovery beside which the
Cleyeland-street story is cast into the
shade.
In his hurried departure he was not
alone. He was accompanied by his
wife and several young ladies who
have been the victims of his wileS.
The story has been carefully hushed
up for the sake of the important in
stitution where the affair took place.
The young ladies were of good birth,
refined, accomplished and of spotless
character until they came within the
communicating influence of their
teacher. They were pupils and mem
bers of the professors class.
The very safeguards of the place
! were employed to help him. 1t was a
rule that the professor, while giving
/ lessons to one young lady, should have
two other pupils present, This regu-
lation was prevented to the further
humiliation and degradation of the
girls. Of the three who were left in
the classroom with the professor, two,
instead of playing the part of watch
full guardians of propriety, would
watch outside to prevent intrusions.
When discovery came the professor
fed, and with certain of his victims.
His wife was consenting party, hay
ing, like the unhappy pupils, been per-
suaded that the old sins were the rites
of new religion of which her nus
band was the prophet.

WORST In YEARS.
WILD STORM RACES IN THE
EAST.
Much Damage to Shipping Interests,
Railways and Other Property
Lives Reported Lost.

Long Branch, n. J., April 11.-For
twenty-four hours the most severe
northeast gale, with heavy rain and
snow, in fourteen years has prevailed
along the coast causing much damage
to bulk-heads and shipping.
At Morgan the tide today was higher
than known in ten years. At Mate
lawn it is reported that the tide
backed up to such an extent that the
meadows surrounding the place are all
inundated, and some of the smaller
vessels lying at the docks have broken
loose and are drifting out upon the
meadows.
At ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS the Ocean
and Shrewsbury river have Joined
forces over the land. New Jersey
Southern trains running between Sea
Bright and Highland Beach are all
abandoned. The tracks of the company
between the two points are a total
wreck and portions Of the road have
been washed out to sea.
Directly opposite Highland Beach

ing. At first it was reported that the
entire crew was lost. but later reports
show that the men were saved. A
number of people residing at Sea
Bright are standing in readiness to
leave their homes, fearing that they
may be surrounded by water from the
ocean, which is threatening to flood
the town.
Along the Jersey Central railroad to
Toms river the high tides have done
enormous damage and the sea has
overf1owed the shore and formed little
lakes for a considerable distance.
The beach far down the coast is
strewn with wreckage.
The wind has blown a gale all day
and the high seas are roaring, pound
ing and foaming with mighty rage.
In the height of the storm the three
masted schooner, Albert W. Smith,
was driven ashore between Sea Girt
and Mansquan. In less than half an
hour after the vessel struck she was
pounded into kindling-wOOd by the sea
which broke over her. Eight men, it
is said, composed the crew and not
one Of them has been seen since the
boat was wrecked and it is unlikely
that any of the crew survived.

FRENCH 'SAVORIES.

Here are two receipts for dainty
French savories that may be served
either at dinner or at luncheon: Cut
bread in a circular shape about the
size of a silver dollar. Fry it a
golden brown in butter or in lard
Then put a very thin pat of butter
no larger than a quarter dollar and
scarcely the thickness on the croutOn
and sprinkle it with pounded anchovy
mixed with a little butter. Place
this in the centre of the pat and trim
with the white of hard-bOiled egg
chopped fine and set around the olive.
The second savory is also mounted on
a crouton of fried bead and consists
of anchOyies and sa'dineS-the same
quantity Of each-chpped and pound
ed with a little butte, the paste then
being spread upon ne crouton. The
yOlks of hard-boiled eggs Gas many
as anchovies) are pounded with a lit
tie chopped parsley and made into
small balls. These a. placed in the
center of the paste. The whites Of
the eggs are then chopped and sur
round the yolks AMI the edge of the
crouton is sprinkled with chopped
parsley.

MAKING HANGING SHELVES.
Pretty Additions to a Room that Can
Easily Be Iade.

Sets Of hanging shelves can be
bought so cheaply nowadays that it
scarcely seems worth while to make
them oneself, but if anyone cares to
experiment in this direction the follow
ing directions from tie last number
of The Art Amateur may prove useful:
Take a soap box or any other small
packing case. Use the top or bottom
Of the case, whicheveris the stronger,
for a back to rest against the wall. In
the two upper corners make round
holes with a center-bit. The short ends
of the box and the l0ger sides cut
down will serve for shelves. Bore
holes, as before, in tie corners that
are to be the outer onS when the ar
ticle is complete. At tle heights which
the shelves are to OcQpy screw into
the back board two tmmb-screws for
each shelf. They are mater than nails,
give a better support, and can be
moved if it is desired to change the
position of the shelves. A long and
stout cord run through all the holes
made with the center-ht and knOtted
under those in the bottom shelf will
bind the whole togethe. If the work
is neatly planned and inished, and if
a silk cord be used finished with tas-
sells instead Of mere k1ots, the affair
will be very presentable, and the back
and the edges of the shelves may be
ornamented with carving, or otherwise
Shelves can be attached in the same
manner to the legs Of a working table,
and if hinged by means Of screw hooks
and rings may be pulled up out OF
the way when not in use.

Omaha, Neb., April PA special to
the Bee from Chadron, Neb., says that
at $40 o'clock this afternoon while
Albert Whipple, cashier of the Craw-
ford Banking company, of Crawford,
Neb., was alone in the bank, a
stranger, attired in cowboy garb
entered and, showing a siX-shooter in
Whipple's face, demanded money.
Whipple gave up all the cash on the
counter, amounting to about $500.
The robber then compelled Whipple to
enter the vaule and locked the door,
where he was found twenty minutes
later by the president.
Two men, one of whom answers the
description Of the 1obber given by
Whipple, were noticed riding leisurely
out of town a little before o'clock
Several parties are out after the rob-
bers and Sheriffs Handy and Bartlett

Columbus, O., April 1.-THE United
Mine Workers of American have or
dered general strike TO take place on
April 21st. J. A. Crawford, of Illinois,
a member Of the executive board, pre-
scented the resolution to strike.
The resolution was received with
prolonged applause, followed by an
animated discussion. Joseph Dunk
erly, state president for Indiana, was
bitterly opposed to the date, as Indi-
ana miners had a contract with opera
tors till May 1. He also wanted as
surance that Illinois was ready, for if
Illinois was not, then the coal oper
ators of that state could supply all
the states around. Finally the reso-
luton was adopted.
A second resolution adopted provides
that in case the first general suspen-
sion of mining fails to bring the de-
sired results, the executive board is
authorized to order another suspen-
sion during the year at any time it
may be deemed advisable.
WAR BEGUN AGAIN.
Uniontown, Pa, April 11.-War has
begun again in the coke region and the
situation tOaIy is most critical. Riot
ing and raiding have been the pro-
gram from early morning and fierce
battles have been arerted only by con.
cesSionS on the part of the companies
The first Indication of trouble was
in the form of an armed mob of 400
strikers which assembled at 7:30 today
at the Youngstown works of the II.
G. Frick company near here. About
sixty coke drawers were in the pit,
when at a given signal the strikers
swooped down upon the plant from
every direction.
The workers fed for protection to
the company's store, which was
guarded by only six employees. The
400 Hungarians demanded that the
workmen be given up. This was re-
fused at first, but after several at
tacks the WOrkmen were given UP.
They were treated to all sorts Of in
suits and some of them beaten with
clubs.

for the scene of trouble. The rioters
had left for the Leisserrig's, taking the
Youngstown workers with them. The

ties, overlook the mob and ordered
them to disperse. The leaders CT the
rioters answered that they were on the
public highway and had equal rights
with the sheriff
A deputy took charge of one of the
men, when the strikers surrounded the
posse and forced the officers to give UP
the man. The sheriff's force then fell
back and the strikers continued the

HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS.
Architects Consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of
Legal Restriction.

New York, April 1O.-The regular
meeting of the American Architectural
League was held at 215 West Fifty
seventh street tonight. 1t was an
nounced that there would be a dis
cussion on the subject, Is it desirable
that a law should be passed restrict
ing the height of buildings?
President George B. Post said: "a.
the present time there seems no limit
to the height Of buildings. 1t is archi-
tecturally possible to construct build
ings forty and fifty stories high.
Elevator speed might cause some re-
striction. With tall buildings the
streets will become dark and damp.
Tall buildings decrease the rental
value Of adjoining small buildings, and
they increase the value Of the land on
which they are built. Height should
be restricted by proper legislative &C
ton before the buildings become public
nuisances."
d. II. Burnham, chief architect of the
worlds fair buildings, said that the
question Of elevators is going to re-
strict the height of buildings. There
is a point in speed beyond which peo-
pie will not and cannot go. The ques-
ton Of wind pressure will also help
to settle the matter. There must be
provision to meet the strain, to avoid
tremors, and make people feel safe.
There is talk of building a tamWay
over the ordinary sidewalk on a level
with the first story, so that people can
get along the street. The plan is
feasible, and will in time come about
These things, and not law, will decide
the height of buildings"
Mr.. Adler, Of Chicago, thought that

A SENSIBLE SUGGESTION,

While sorting winter apples many
are found that must be used III Orce.
At this time of year some cans and
jelly glasses are empty and lay be
filled. Many say, Canned apples are
poor things" To this all agree when
they are canned in the usual way. Try
this way and see if they are not good.
Cook, sweeten and flavor with nutmeg,
lemon, ETC., as you would for the table;
seal and set away in a dark place and
use them late in the spring. Your
friends will ask how you kept yorr
apples so late; for they taste just like
fresh ones.

REED THE RULER.
MAINE MAN RECEIVES PROFUSf
CONGRATULATIONS.

Washington, April 14-Mr. Reed
was the center of attention as he en-
tered the house today, the members on
the republican side gathered about him
and warmly congra tulated him on the
action of the democratic house yeSter-
day in voting for the quorum-counting
rule. 1t was regarded as a personal
victory for Mr.. Reed.
The democrats joined in the good
natured congratulations, remarking
that Mr.. Reed was no longer the orig
inal and only car as the democrats
too had decided to be cars. Mr.. Reed
conferred with the republican leaders
as to the course to be adopted when
the new rule is brought in, and it was
made clear that he would lead the mi
nOrity in hearty acceptance Of the prin-
cipal Of counting a quorum which he
first enforced
EilibuStering was resumed in the
house today as soon as it convened.
Roll call showed the democrats lacked
thirty-seven of a quorum, so adjourn
ment was taken after a half hours
session.
Washington, April 14.-After a con-
ference lasting three hours today
Speaker Crisp and his democratic as
sOciates on the cOmmitte on rules did
not complete the new quorum count
ing rule directed by the democratic
caucus. Mr.. Crisp said at the conclu-
sion of the conference.
'From the progress made it is likely
a satisfactory rule will be formulated
very soon, and perhaps by Monday.
Until a quorum of the majority is here,
it is hardly worth while to bring in
a rule to be buffetted about When a
quorum appears, a satisfactory rule
will soon be submitted"

SOME WAYS OF TAKING COLD.
Indigestion and Impure Air Are Ere
quent Causes.

1t is said that colds are often the re-
suit of indigestion or come from
breathing impure air. A cold is often
brought on by eating a hearty dinner,
becoming mentally absorbed for two
or three hours Immediately afterwards
and retiring to a warm, close room.
The food is not digested, the temper
allure of the body is raised by the ex-
ertions of the stomach, the sleep is
broken and the individual rises chilled
and ill. Had relaxation followed the
dinner and the room been supplied
with refreshing air everything would
have been different.

New York, April 14.-Regarding the
breaking of his engagement to Odette
Tyler, Howard Gould says: sit is
quite true that the engagement be-
tween Miss Tyler and myself has been
broken off. The cause of it is the OPP
position of my family. 1 found my
self in the position of being obliged
to give up either my family or the
lady. Miss Tyler and 1 met and dis
cussed the question thoroughly, with
the result that the lady released me
from the engagement" On being
asked upon what grounds the opposi-
ton OF his family was based, Mr..
Gould would only state that it was his
youth.
Miss Tyler says she broke the en-
gagement.
