DEWEY TAKES A BRIDE,
The Hero of Manila Quietly Weds
Mrs. Hazen at Warrington
Couple Leave for New York.

Washington Nov. 10. - Admiral
George Dewey and Mrs. Mildred M.
Hazen were married quietly at the
rectory of St. Paul's' Catholic church
in V street, near Fifteenth, this city,
shortly before ten o'clock Thursday
morning. The ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. James +. Mackin
pastor of the church, assisted by
Rev. Joseph H. Foley, assistant pastor,
and Rev. Sidney Hurlbut. The cere-
mony was of the simplest character,
according to the rites of the Catholic
church, and the only witnesses be-
sides the officiating clergymen were
Mrs. Washington Mclean and Mrs.
Ludlow, mother and sister respective
ly of the bride and Lieut.. Caldwell,
Admiral Dewey's secretary.
The ceremony was performed with
the ring, according to the nuptial
rites of the Catholic church.
Including the address of Father
Mackin, it consumed less than five
minutes. Father Mackin was the first
to hail the bride as Mrs. Dewey. Con-
gratulations and fluctuations followed,
and the wedding party drove directly
from the rectory to the residence of
the brides mother, Mrs. Mclean,
where a. wedding breakfast was
served.
New York, Nov. 1O.-Admiral and
Mrs. Dewey arrived in New York
Thursday night from Washington.
They were driven direct from the
West Twenty-third street ferry to the
Waldorf-Astoria, where they are the
guests of Mr.. Boldt, the proprietor of
that hotel. The admiral and his bride
did not register.

EGG pIAHr.


EIg plants, HE . great many mem-
beers Of the nightshade family, have m
acrid favor. The same quslity in the
berries Of the climbing bittersweet give
it its familiar name, sweet taste be-
ing said to follow the bitter. This quail
ity has also given the entire genus
nightshade the reputation Of being poi
sonous, and for years prevented the
wholesome tomato from being used rs q
vegetable. In the tomato this flavor il
not found in the fruit, but the odof Of
the foliage suggests the odor of the po-
tato and all the rest Of the genus. The
acrid favor of the fruit Of the egg plant
must always be removed before IL is
cooked in any way. There are two
ways Of doing this; one il to psrboiI
it in salt and water, and the other is to
rub with salt the slices Of egg plant,
which should be cut about half an inch
thick. Lay them in bowl of water and
let them stand an hour. The slices
may be rinsed, seasoned with little
pepper, dipped in the yolk Of an egg
beaten up with tablespoonful of water
and then dipped in dry sifeed bread
crumbs. The egg plant may now be
fried in boiling hot fat. enough to cover
the slices, or it may be broiIed like a
beefsteak. For broiling, the slices can
be simply seasoned with a little pepper
after draining them out Of the salt and
water and dipped in sweet OIL They
should be broiled five minutes on each
side.
The following is good rule for cook
ing egg plant croquettes: Peel and cut
into small pieces one egg plant. Place
II in salt and water and let it stand
an hour. Drain it. Cook it until IL
il tender in fresh water, drain and mash
tt and drain it thoroughly again. Take
two beaten eggs, to which half cup
ful of bread crumbs and tablespoonful
Of melted butter have been added. Stir
into the cooked egg plant. Make the
preparation into croquettes and let If
stand until You are ready to cook IL.
1t ought to stand at least half an hour.
and may stand longer without any in
jury. When you are ready to cook IL
roll the croquettes in the beaten yoIls
Of an egg and then in dry, sifted bread
crumbs, and fry them in very hot fat
until they are fine brown like other
croquettes.-N. 7. Tribune.

How to Freshen ChiHo,

Chiffon can be made to look like new
by being carefully steamed, but it must
first be very evenly pinned upon box
lid, length by length, to get the desired
result. 1t takes time to pin and unpin
again, but unless this is done the edge
will be way and uneven. If it is to be
used in a way that the edge will not
show, then quicker method to accom-
Plish the result is to hold it stretched
tightly between the hands. Crepe is
even more satisfactory when renovated
in this manner, the steam giving it the
stiffness of new material, and also TAX
ing out all the dirt and dust. A veil
carefully done in this way will leave
nothing to be desired.-N. Y. Post.

Dewey and His Yellow Shoes.

When russell shoes of bright yellow
hue were introduced, Dewey wore the
first pair that was seen in Washington.
They at once became the subject of jest
of all the officers of the navy depart
ment. Early in the afternoon one of
Dewey's feet began to swell, and his
suffering from his new shoes was acute.
In an interval between the calls of
friends who were still running" him
on mis- shoes the commodore sought his
chief clerks room. He walked with a
limp, and finally loosened the strings:
to relieve his feet. II suppose can't
take these things off now,'' he re-
marked with bitter smile, "for those
fellows'll think they. have driven me to
it." And for hours the commodore sat
at his desk in perfect torture.-Ladies'

B1ELA's COMET.
The Pericdically seen Body was Oh

tiago, Chill.

The periodicity Of Biela's comet was
ascertained on its discovery, in Febru.
airy. 1926, by Biela; at Josephstadt, Bo,
hernia. and. indep evidently, by Gambart.
at Marseilles, about ten days later.
Both discoveries remarked the similar
ity Of elements to those of the comets
Of 1772, imperfectly observed by Mon.
taigna at Limoges, and the first comet
of 1906. Clausen's calculations showed
that the period Of revolution between
1772 and 1926 had been about go years,
the comet having escaped observation
at the intermediate returns, excepting
that Of 1906, when it was seen by Pons.
Prof. santim, Of Padua, principally &C.
cupied himself with the investigation
of the motions of this comet, as did
more recently the late Prof. Hubbard,
of Washington.
Biela's comet was observed at it's re.
appearance in 1882, but was missed in
1889. from proximity to the sun. At

Concerning the policy Of removals, the re-
port says: 81
1.-THE policy Of former administrations Of
removing fourth-class postmasters for po-
Ht1cal reasons, regardless Of length Of
service, resulted in the changing Of post
masters In all the important fourth-class
offices early in those administrations. The
four years term Of the great majority Of
fourth-class postmasters, therefore, ex-
Pired early In this administration, which
accounts for the greatly decreased num-
berv OF appointments made during the fls-
cal year as compared with the preceding
one. Special attention to disciplinary
measures and the general improvement of
the service has therefore been permitted %
There were 1886 post offices established
and 1,sos discontinued. At the close Of
the year, the total number Of post Of
fees in the country was an even $4,000.

Der of private post offices, which 1t has been

cations to restore a number of which are
now pending.
About 1000 more post offices were inspect
ed than in any previous year. Registered
mail lost averaged one piece in every
$3.50 handled. There were 1879 postal ar
rests during the year, including 119 post
masters, 81 assistant postmasters, Al post
office clerks, q railway postal clerks "a
letter carriers and 36l post office burglars.
OF all these, $50 were convicted and 629
cases are still pending in the courts. The
report says the practicability Of trans
porting the mails over the proposed all
American route to the Yukon in Alaska is
a problem yet to be determined, and q re-
cent inspection found so few settlers in
this interior country that only one post
office was established.
Among the recommendations are for au-
thority for inspectors to take out search
warrants whenever necessary; for pay
ment Of expenses of various authorities in
arrest. and detention Of post office pris-
oners; an appropriation for constructing
inspectors look-outs in offices wherever
deemed necessary; an amendment to the
interstate commerce law to prohibit tele-

losities took place under the eyes of the
astronomers. In 1852 both components
were reobserved and were found to
have considerably widened their dis
lance from one another. AT the return
to perihelion in 1889 there was no pos
sibility of observations from the I'M
favorable position in the heavens, but
in 1866, according to calculation, its
track seemed likely to favor observa-

search, the comet was not found, nor
was anything seen of it until 1872.

attempting to murder John T. Shayne,
a prominent merchant of this city.
Last spring Hammond shot Shayne in

Home journal. 1 make no claim of
perfection for the clerks who stand be-
hind the counters of our great stores
where women shop. They are only
common mortals, full Of faults. But,
considering what they are called upon
to go through and endure at the hands
of thoughtless women, the constant
wonder is that they are so civil and
obliging. If the truth could be known.
it would be found that they suffer far
more than they inflict suffering. If the
roll could be called of Woodworking,

accounts the firm could not afford to
lose, it would be roll of disgrace to
