b cycl. Accident on Charles Street.
Notes From Capitol Hill.

There was a bicycle accident on
Charles street shortly after $50 o'clock
this morning and though the accident
was costly one to the owner of the bike
no one seems to have been to blame.
Thomas Conley, a young man who
lives at 619 Main street. Pawtucket,w was
going along the west side OF the
road towards the center of the city and
this part of Charles street was as Is
usually the case well crowded with
teams. Conley had turned in nearer
the sidewalk intending TO go straight
along but big team loaded with beer
kegs came from the south and headed
in to deliver a load at one OF the bar
rooms. There were but two things for
Conley to do, one was To get on his
wheel and the other to dart out from
the side of the road into the center of
the road and go right ahead without
looking behind. He chose the latter
course and right behind him came
horse and light wagon driven by Frank
J.. Rogers of III Reservoir avenue. One
or the wheels of the wagon crushed the
rear wheel of the bike and dragged IL
along. The horse had a good deal of
trouble extricating his feet from the
spokes of the wooden rim machine. Mr..
Rogers was driving at an ordinary rate
the sudden appearance Of the man and
bike from behind team.
Kenneth ID. Forbes reported to the
police yesterday that his bay horse
and light wagon were missing from 1872
Jenkins street.
Manuel Rose, a lad about six years
old. was found astray on North Main
street by officer Anthony last evening
and was sent to the Second station. The
little fellow had come all the way from
Trenton street His father called and
took him home.
A youth named Mcguire was arrested
for an assault yesterday and his victim
was Arthur Armigri, a little boy who
was carrying dinners to members of
his family who work in the Wanskuck
mill. Mcguire had been playing ball
apd for some unknown reason he went
vat on the road and struck Arthur a
blow with his fist right between the
eyes. The only other arrest was for
drunkenness

My Dear Doctor-This is the season
OF the year when that decided stumbling
block to us poor foreigners. the common
everyday American, or better New
England. clam. Is in fits glory. When
i first1reached this part of your glori-
Gus country / had not an acquaintance
with the clam other than the introduce
tion / had received with the quahaug
at the nations capital. / met your sand
clam. that Ipswich and other places
produce so plentifully. and was igno-
rniniously defeated. could not cook
IL to meet the native taste and went out
seeking information. Hotel chefs I
met failed to help me much. So I went
to the seashore, and there at the feet
OF a gray-headed old chap that couldn't
prepare a decent meal OF anything else
20 save his life learned how the clam
should be cooked. Will you pardon me
IL / give you some of the hints I OBJ
tained?
The first thing to learn was the fact
that the longer you cook clam the
tougher II gets. When IL Is done get II
away from the fire at once. The next
thing found out was that few so-called
clambakes are 'bakes" at all The BIZ
valves are steamed, and nobody ap-
pears to note the difference. This be-
ing so. you can have a clambake at
home anytime. the only difference be-
ing that in cooking a small lot instead
of many baskets at once you lose some
of the flavor.
AS we wish to be honAst, we will call
our dish steamed CLAIMS. and this Is the
way we will prepare II. Get some small
or medium sized CLAIMS, rinse them well,
to remove the sand. In fresh water. CIV
ing them two or three different waters.
and then place them in the stewpan or
ting In no water at all. The water in
the CLAIMS will be amply sufficient. and
they will be done when each and every
shell has opened. Serve with melted
butter to which your guests can add
pepper. salt and vinegar to taste.
II you fail to eat all the CLAIMS don't
throw them away. but remove from the
shells and put them away In the clam
water. which was In the kettle, for a
chowder the next day.
To make the chowder try my old
friends recipe. In kettle put couple
slices Of pork cut into dice and fry un-
I'll brown. Add gallon Of water six
onions and six potatoes sliced for each
quart Of clans you have. and cook
until the vegetables are almost done.
Then add the clam water. ana when
boiling add two quarts of milk. and last
OF all the clans. Let the whole come
to a boiI Put In a dozen pilot bread
crackers and serve.
If you use CLAIMS opened from the
shell before cooking they should be put
In before the milk. You will, Of course,
season while cooking. To fry clans roll
In cracker crumbs. then In we'll beaten
egg, again in crumbs. and place In a
swimming dish of fat. Fry to a rich
brown. garnish with chopped parsley,
and serve hot. A tartar sauce is often
q pleasing addition. These are simple
recipes, but they tell the story Of clam
cooking, and IL followed you have the
bivalves at their best. Try them and
you will agree with me.
Yours cordially,
Louis Role.

SURGEON ABBOTT TO REMAIN.

Rhode Island. as represented by its
regiment at Camp Alger still appears
TO be among the things forgotten by
the war department, for not word has
come from Washington to Gov. Dyer,
although the rumors about Porto Rico
being the ultimate destination of the
regiment continue to be circulated. but
nobody seems willing to assume re-
sponsibility for their authorship.
Gov. Dyer will probably keep Lieut..
Abbott at camp next week as surgeon,
and with him will remain two men of
the hospital corps. The question now
occupying the governors mind is
whether the United States will pay the
salary of the surgeon and the two men.
He believes that inasmuch as the gov
ernmen. will not send surgeon to the
camp, 1t should at least be willing to
llay for one,

Reserves Need Money.

The Rhode Island Naval Reserves on
the Constellation at Newport are finan-
cially in tight place, as many of them
have not yet received a cent of pay.
There Is rule in the United States
navy that no man draws any pay until
he has paid off the amount due the gov
ernment for his kit, and this is what
has happened to the Reserves, some Of
them having as high as $33 worth Of
clothing charged against them. The
Naval Reserves at the Block island sig
nal station will soon close the station
and proceed to New York for orders
These were the first Rhode Islanders to
go into active service. being ordered to
the island just as soon as war was de-
clared.
The Rhode Island Reserves now doing
sea duty on the monitor Manhattan are
expected to reach Newport very soon,
and Gov. Dyer has been giving a great
deal of thought and attention to their
condition II is stated that upon the
arrival OF the monitor at Newport a
rigid investigation of the rations will
be made, and efforts will be made to
improve the condition of the men.
There Is rumor that the remainder of
the Reserves now on the Constellation
are soon to be assigned to craft where
they may be actually anoat and in ac-
tive service, and II will probably be on
one of the old monitors.

wishes to call the attention OF these
