erhtli.

an attempt to murder former City Mar
shall Edward Il. Howe. The alleged at
tempt was made last night at the brew
cry IN Bradford, where Howe had been

an attachment placed by Milwaukee,
firm.
Soholsstein was away from home yes
terday and during his absence. repre-
sentative of the Milwaukee firm APP
peared at the brewery, and, underwear
rant from the court, proceeded to take
away part of the engine.
Sohlosstein returned during the early
part OF the evening and was told OF this
action by Howe.
According to the lattsr's story, Schlos-
stein went into his house which was
near the brewery and was heard for some
time having loud conversation with
his wife.
I Howe, meanwhile, was sitting directly
In front of the entrance to the brewery.
Suddenly, Howe says, he heard the crack
of rifle and a bullet whistled by his
head. lie ran inside the brewery, slam
ming tins door after him, and hid behind
one OF the watts. Hardly had he done
this when another bullet came crashing
through the door and few minutes lat
or Schlosstenin entered the building,
loading Winchester rifle as he walked
along. He picked up lantern and went
into he upper peIt of the building.
Howe seized the opportunity to make
his escape, came here and procured a
warrant for Scholsstein's arrest which
was made this evening. The prisoner
has been unable to secure ball during
the day.
Mrs. Schlosstein claims that the first
shot was the result of an attempt on the
part of her husband to commit suicide.

house and Immediately after it, Schlos-
stein ran out toward the brewery.
The police scout the theory Of suicide
as both Howe and Deputy Sheriff Ray
mond, who has been concerned In the
case, say they mad been told previously
by sSchlosstein that he had a bullet for
the first man who touched thu machinery
and one for himself. Schlosstein's friends
say the affair was the climax of a long
series of business troubles ana do not
believe that he is In his right mind.
Schlosstein, himself, will make no state
ment.

patrons and TO do nothing TO CLOSE up the

lie specifically alleged that through
the medium of gambling dens, gambling

committee will be selected and various
subcommittee will be appointed to
take up the vice crusade In earnest.
Not in the recollection of the Oldest
resident OF the "Red Light" district has
that section Of the city been SO cleared
of its dens of vicious characters as 1t
was tonight. When the Tammany vice
committee made Its report on Friday
that there was no vice in the district,
the members lal,ored under misappre-
hension. The houses had shutters closed,
but the basement entrances were still
open. The owners took fright, how
ever, on Saturday night and fled. They
had read that Capt. Titus was coming.
Tomorrow Can't. Titus will appear in
the fourth district court as witness for
landlords who claim they have been nm
able to remove Objectionable tenants from
their premises.
The Central Labor Union took up the
vice matter today and adopted a resolu-
ton expressing sympathy wish the move

Poor puss no longer deserves that time
honored appellation; for fat sleek, POM
pous, lazy, she rides the top wave Of fem
mime favor and occupies with infinite COM
placency the softest cushion that the house
affords. once more as in the days Of Ra-
meses III, puss stands at the head of a c,,lt
from which proud pre-eminence she gazes
down upon her followers with all the mys-
terious, inscrutable wisdom that character
lied the reign of her forbears in the old
Egyptian days. Cat clubs whose objects
are stated to be the Improvement Of the
stock. the securing of better treatment for
the ordinary house cat and the providing of
places of refuge for homeless and stray
cats are springing up all over the country,
while explicit directions for the care and
feeding of tabby are furnished to their MEM
bers. The proprietors of the Royal Drexel
Kennels, Chicago have issued an attractive
little pamphlet entitled "Just a Little Prac-
tical Pussyology,' in which the following
suggestions as to diet are given: Domestica-
tion has not only revolutionized the nature
and habits of cats, but has affected their
digestive organs to such an extent that a
mixed diet is absolutely essential to perfect
health. As high-bred pussies are peculiarly
liable to indigestion resulting from too fire.

The genuine old-fashioned southern peach
cobbler, just evolved by good old black
nanny in the ante-bellum days, leaves a
taste in the mouth that no newer or more
elaborate concoction of peaches can ever
equal. To make 1t as it should be select
the richest ripest yellow peaches. Line the
sides of a deep earthenware pudding dish
with the most delicate pastry you can
make. Peel enough ripe, juicy peaches to
fill the dish. Tear them apart but leave
the pits in to impart their distinctive flavor.
Sweeten the peaches to taste and sprinkle
over them gill of brandy. Cover the dish
with layer of puff paste, pressing closely
about the edge, so as to conserve every par
ticle of the rich sirup. Bake in a quick
oven for about an hour. covering with
paper if there is any danger of scorching.
When nearly done dredge with powdered
sugar to make the rich golden glaze that

Among the dietetic suggestions offered
patients at Sanitarium in California are
the following:
Simplicity in diet is the greatest assur-
ance for good digestion.
Thorough mastication is the beginning of
perfect nutrition.
Relaxation of mind, with pleasant
thought and conversation and utter forget
fulness of trouble, self and bodily functions
are digestive requirements
Excess of heterogeneous food clogs the sys-
tenn and overtaxes the alimentary organs.
heterogeneous foods form the basis of tis
sues only, and should not consist of more
than one-ffth of the food eaten.
heterogeneous elements are found largely in
eggs. nut foods, legumes, gluten. and form
about IL per cent of the substance of grain
preparations.
The first cup of tea that the transconti-
mental traveller takes in Hungary is reve
lation as to the possibilities of that popular
beverage. A block of sugar is dropped in
the waiting cup, a teaspoonful of the best
