HERMAN'S ODD WAGER.
He Can Eat More Food Than a Grea
Dane.

New York Nov. Frank Herman, of
North Hudson. is very proud of his ca
pacity for food. He says he has eaten
25 pounds of beef steak at one sitting.
AS he can find no man to dispute his
distinguished title, champion eater of
Hudson county" Herman has matched
himself to devour more feed than a
great Dane, owned by Edward Nepi-
vOda, of West HObOken.
NepivOda declares that his great Dane
which stands as high as a dining table,
can eat more meat than airy lion that
ever roamed the plains of Africa. He
has backed his dog for $2C Herman
has covered the money. The contest
will take place at the smoker to be
given by the employees of the North
Hudson County Railway company next
Saturday. The conditions are:
Herman is to sit or stand at one side
Of the stage; the dog is to be posted at
the other side. Food is to be weighed
out by a committee, pound by pound.
to the man and the dog. The dog Will
eat only meat; he never eats anything
else Herman can turn from meat to
bread and from bread to vegetables if
he wishes to. The dog car. drink only
water; Herman can drink water or beer.

piping is revealed. At the back of the
chest IS a cylinder and a force pump.
By means Of an electric motor air is
forced through the cylinder and force
pumped into storage chamber and
thence through a series of pipes sur
rounded with ice.
To start the machine in action to it's
fullest power it must be loaded with
ninety pounds of ice. After that it
makes it's own ice.
Mr.. Peters says the machine is the
nearest thing to perpetual motion ever
invented; that it will furnish motive
power to ocean steamships; that the
one he now has working at 113 Bedford
avenue, Brooklyn, will easily run a , 500
horse power marine engine; that it will
at the same time provide fresh, dry air
for ship at the rate of 900 square
feet per minute and simultaneously
manufacture ice at the rate of $500
pounds an hour.
Slightly modified, Mr.. Peters SAYS,
his machine as it now stands in his
Brooklyn workshop could be fitted into
the Holland submarine boat and enable
the crew of that boat to remain under
water indefinitely.
When Mr.. Peters started the machine
in action a strong current of air was
expelled from the escape vent so cold
that in a few minutes the temperature
of the shop was greatly reduced. He
said it was an easy matter to bring the
temperature of the surrounding atmos-
phere down to so degrees below zero,
and that he could get it down to 200 de-
grees below zero inside the ice box.
There was no ice in the machine at the
time of the exhibition.
By means of an air tank placed above
the machine a sufficient amount of COM
pressed air was constantly being stored
Which would keep the apparatus run
ming indefinitely, said Mr.. Peters.
Peters was born in the village Of
Rathsdemnits. near StolD. in Pomer-
-ania. Germany, fifty-five years ago. He
says he served three years in the Ger
man navy and through the Brazilian
aguay war.
Peters moved to Brooklyn three
months ago from Chicago, where, he
said, he had lived for twenty-seven
years.

HORSE PARTIAL TO BEER.
New York Animal Drinks One Hun

New York, Nov. Harlem has a
drunken horse. It is Elsie, a 3-year-old
pony belonging to Charles KIenl1e, an
expressman of 2231 Eighth avenue. Not
only does she like an alcohol diet, but
prefers meat to vegetables and will eat
clam chowder and beef steak when
ever she can get them.
Klenke, accompanied by his pony,
went into a saloon on Saturday night
and called for a glass of beer. The
bartender, knowing the pony, set out
two glasses, and Elsie drank her schoon-

He OBJECTED TO
THE MARRIAGE
But tho Sight OF the Jail Made Him
Think It Was the Pleasanter
OF the Alternatives.

Henry Mitchell and Miss Letitia
York were married shortly after 10
o'clock last night by Justice Harring-
ton. Had the groom not entered for
NAL protest Just before the wedding
the first sentence In this brief story
would have told 1t all. But the fact
that the prospective husband objected
to the marriage at this time makes it
necessary to add few lines by way
of explanation. 1t appears that Mitch
ell has been paying very much atten-
ton to the girl, tall, graceful blonde
of charming manner and stately bear
ing, and that he has regarded her as
a particularly good friend; but he said
that he was not prepared to marry her,
even If the girl and her relatives did
try to persuade him into their way of
looking at the case. Hence the pro-
test. The matter was discussed at
length last night by the girls relatives
and it was decided to insist upon an
immediate marriage. The man said
no. and the other parties said yes, and
yes went. Mitchell started to get out
of reach and the girls relatives start

armed with the necessary papers to
effect the arrest of the man. Consta-

said that he did not have money with
which to pay the clerk. This was set

London Nov. 13--The afternoon news
papers, commenting on-~Emperor Will
liam's approaching visit to England and
the improved relations between Germany
and Great Britain, voice the general
opinion here, saying:
THE latter is in great part due to the
vast change in the relations between the
United States and Great Britain which
preceded it, and from which Germany
has drawn the obvious deductions that
colonial and commercial ambitions can
not be fulfilled in the face of the hos
tility of two English-speaking people"
According to the st. James Gazette,
with the establishment of good relations
between London and Washington 1t be-
came necessary for Germany to stand on
friendly terms with both.
There has been, the paper proceeds,
no unqualified promises of future armed
support, but that the three countries
have decided to live on civil terms for
business reasons.

IS CLEAN AND LUSCIOUS
Excellent Results of the Fruit
Inspection Law.
THE INSPECTORS REPORT
A Great Benefit to the Fruit Grower
and the Consumer-The Danger OF
Contamination Reduced to
a Minimum

Fruit Inspector W. K. Semple has
prepared his report to the state board
of horticulture for the month of Octo-
Der. From it may be seen the great
benefits that are derived from the new
system of inspecting fruit, not only to
the orchards Of Montana, but to the
people who buy fruit. Whereas when
there was formerly no fruit inspection
all manner of infected fruit was ship
fruit now seen in the markets OF the
city is clean and of the most luscious
character and the dangers to the Or
chards from being contaminated with
San Jose scale and Goblin moth are re-
duced to a minimum.
Some idea of the immense amount OF
poor fruit that was formerly put on the
Butte market may be had from the
showing of Inspector Semple's report,
which shows that during October alone
276 original packages of fruit were con-
demned and destroyed, and this after
the inspection had been in vogue two
months and shippers had been made
fully aware Of the danger they ran OF
having their fruit destroyed and them
selves made heavy losers by shipping
in infected fruit. During the first
month of the inspection fruit which
amounted in the aggregate to several
carloads was condemned and destroyed.
The next month the amount was great
ly reduced, and last month the guam
| tity of bad fruit that came in was very
small when compared with what 1t must
| have been when there were no restric-
| tons placed upon shippers. The bene-
| fits thus derived are more clearly shown
when it is stated that the 276 packages
