SUCCESSFUL SALE.

The fall sale of needlework and con-
fections by the ladies of All Saints
church was held yesterday afternoon
and evening in Memorial hall. The
tables about the room were decorated
in white, and there was large centre
table, above which was suspended a
parasol made of white paper, giving
a dainty effect to the whole. The ar
ticles sold were of the finest kind, some
of them being wonderful from the
amount of care exercised in their con-
struction. In charge of the fair was
Mrs. Nellie F. Rogers. and the follow
ing were IN charge of the several tables:

A DEAL FOR BURKETT.
New York Wants the Services of the
Heavy Hitting St. Louis Fielder.

Jesse c. Burkett will probably attend
the National league meeting to be held
in New York next week Burkett may
be the object of a transaction between
New York and st. Louis. President
Freeman of New York wants to pur-
chase Burkett. The New York presi-
dent has done no business with Bur-
kett, as he would be thus violating the
spirit of the national agreement, but
mutual friends have opened negotia-
tons. Burkett has heard from New
York people who are in touch with
President Freeman, and knows posi-
lively that Freeman wants him and
is prepared to purchase him from st
Louis if the latter won't ask too much
money.
Although Freeman has not commu-
nicated with Burkett, the latter has a
well founded idea of the money that he
would receive from New York in case
he is purchased from st. Louis, and
the figures are agreeable to him. 1t is
said that st. Louis will want more than
$4,000 for Burkett's release. Freeman
would not hesitate at that price, as
Burkett would be worth it easily to
the New Yorks next season, now that
the war which has been waged there
on the quiet is over and revival of
base ball is booked for in the metropo-
lis next year

The Business of a Theater.

A prosperous theater in the city Of
New York may in a favorable season
do a business of more than $3.50, 900
and keep in employment $50 persons
There are 37theaters, including the va
riety houses, in active operations in the
boroughs of Manhattan and the Bronx,
while the borough Of Brooklyn adds a
score or more. Every thing which affects
business in general affects the theater
Immediately.
A man will reduce his expenditures
for tickets to places Of amusement long
before he thinks Of cutting down his
supply Of cigars, for the cigar belongs
to that class Of luxuries which subtly
become necessaries, while the theater
habit, as any observant manager will
tell you, requires constant cultivation.
The management Of a theater is there
fore an occupation requiring business
sagacity in a greater degree than it
calls for artistic taste. w. j. Hender-

His Absent Companions.

At a banquet given in Rochester two
of the expected guests were unable to
be present. The order of seating hap
pened to be such that a particularly
jovial and companionable gentleman
sat with one of the vacant chairs on
each side of him. The empty chairs
and first course Of oysters were left in
place for some time in case the expected
guests arrived. The solitary gentleman
therefore could move neither to the
right nor to the left, but amiably
beamed throughout the repast, seem

isolation. After the banquet some one

a LESSON IN COOKING.
How Hobo Served Up a Dish OF
Roast Chicken.

&
The first. time I ran away from
home learned trick or two that was
worth the while, said well known
business man II started out on several
unauthorized tours of adventure before
reached years of discretion, but the
first is most wildly impressed upon my
memory. Three Of us kids caught a
freight train and got some 60 or 70
miles away from home before the first
nightfall. Then we didn't know where
to .spend the night. Several attempts to
quarter ourselves in empty box cars on
the side track of a little village only.
resulted in our being chased away and
threatened with arrest, SO we went to
the outskirts of the place and built a
fire on the bank of little creek. Here
we made ourselves as comfortable as
possible and one or two of us had actu-.
ally dozed off for short maps when a
regular hobo, a good specimen of the
real article, happened along and wanted
to know if we had anything to eat. Of
course we hadn't. n
well, he said. If you fellers'll
ketch chicken I'll show you trick
that'll be useful to you.
cit didn't take US long to catch the
chicken and bring it back. The veteran
member of the nomadic fraternity
wrung its neck, jerked off it's head,
cleaned it and going down to the creek
wadded it up, feathers, feet and all, in
a big ball of yellow clay. This he rolled
into the fire and scraped the burning
embers up around it. The clay soon
hardened, and we could see it among
the wood Goals gradually becoming
bright cherry red. When it did so, the
cook rolled it out again, let it cool
little and then broke it open with a
stone. The feathers had stuck to the
baked clay and clean, inviting chick
en- was ready to be served. All the
moisture that in ordinary baking is lost
had been kept in by the bricklike in
closure, and the morsel that fell to my
lot was the juiciest and sweetest have
ever eaten. ''-Cincinnati Enquirer,
